THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 WAR SUPPLIES DEBT French Seek Postponement of Date for the Payment of $400,000,000 to U.S. Washington, June 29.—()—Negoti- ations for unconditional postpone- ment from August 1 to December 31 of the due date of the $400,000,000 French war supplies debt to the United States have been initiated by Ambassador Claudel under instruc- tions from Premier Poincare. Although congress voted, shortly before it recessed, to permit a post- ponement, the understanding was that such action would be conditioned upon French ratification in the meantime of the three-year-old Mel- lon-Berenger agreement which pro- vides for settlement of that and all other war and post-war obligations of Lge France to the United States. Furthermore, the iesolution is not in effect, except as a “moral sanction” for conditional postponement and Secretary Stimson is at a loss as to whether the payment could be put off unconditionally without specific congressional sanction. In congressional circles displeasure has been aroused by statements at- tributed to Franklin Bouillion, presi- dent of the foreign affairs committee of the French assem\ly, to the effect that the United States was trying to force ratification by France of the general debt settlement agreement. SORROW PERVADES JENSEN'S AIRPLANE Pilot and Wife in Nonstop Flight Keep Tragedy News From Third Member AS Roose’ Field, N. Y., June 29.. —There ‘S sorrow and ai the monoplane, T! Musketeers, as it circled over Island today striving for a new endurance flight record. Snatches of radio conversation be- tween the plane and the field station indicated Martin Jensen and his wife, Marguerite, were in a conspiracy of kindness to keep from William Ul- brich, third member of the crew, de- tails of the tragedy which befell their friendly rivals, Viola Gentry, “The Flying Cashicr,” and Jack Ashcrait. Miss Gentry, in Nassau County hos- pital, with her chances for recovery doubtful, frequently called for Ul- brich, as she did when she was lifted from the wreck of her plane yester- day. She, too, was striving for an endurance 1ecord. Keeps Up Flight Ulbrich, knowing that Miss Gentry had been injured, but not how seri- ously, kept grimly on with the grind upon which he and the Jensens em- barked ai 7:32:02 Wednesday night in their effort to better the record of 172'z hours set by the Fort Worth in May. The crash of Miss Gentry’s plane, The Answer, in which her co-pilot Ashcraft was killed, near Old West- bury, N. revealed that a stronger sentiment than the companionship of the air existed between Ulbrich and Miss Gentry. As she was lifted out of the wreck- age she murmured: : “I just got a tough break, that’s all. Tell Bill Ulbrich. Oh, Bill, Bill.” Misses Gentry Plane — Ulbrich, when he missed seeing the Gentry plane as the fog thinned, got into communciation with the field. “What happened to Viola?” he de- manded. “Now, you birds give me the details. Don't try to hold out on me.” But Jensen called him from the microphone and Mrs. Jensen warned the field operator not to give Ulbrich the details. He was told only that Miss Gentry had suffered a broken arm. Three refueling operations, two of m dangerous feats out cver the a , kept the Three Musketeers in the air through its third night. Food and tools with which to fasten the cabin roof which had been torn loose by the high win ‘ also were lowered to the plane.

RUTH BRYAN OWEN Commoner’s Daughter, From Florida, Follows in Famous Father’s Footsteps / By RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, June 29.—(NEA)— Between her fifth and her ninth year, little Ruth Bryan used to come onto the floor of the house with her famous father. There are congress- men and capitol employes who re- member it. Just the other day, eight-year-old Helen Rudd Owen, the granddaugh- | ter of William Jennings Bryan and daughter of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, made her own first visit to the floor beside her mother who is now form- ally referred to by other members as “the gentlewoman from Florida.” Bryan stepped from the floor of the house into the Democratic nomi- nation for the presidency in 1896. When he came to Congress from Nebraska no one expected that he was going to do that. But Mrs. Owen has only been here three months and there are a great many persons, especially in Florida where it counts, who expect that she will at least some day step from the house to the senate. Making a Good Record Mrs. Owen is giving a perfectly sWell demonstration of how to be a good congressman. Instead of mak- ing the mistake of plunging: into na- tional issues and grabbing limelight, ;she has been plugging away to get jOwen has helped that, too. Aided Florid: Farmers Farmers stricken in the Florida storm area, facing seed and ferti- lizer costs of $25 and more per acre, were only to be loaned up to $3 an acre from government funds until Mrs. Owen got busy. Now they’re going to get $25 an acre. Until now there hasn’t been any real census Letra | 2 Florida’s ac- tual productivity, because agricul- tural census forms have applied to temperate zone products and not sub-tropical products.

At the next session Mrs, Owen has a campaign map| out for flood control around Lake Okeechobee, where storms have caused tremend- ous life and property damage. The water in this huge lake has been kept at a high level by tributary streams and, says Mrs. Owen, some- thing must be done. Your correspondent asked Mrs. Owen whether anything in partic- ular had occurred to her about con- gress in the last three months, “Sometimes during the campaign,” she answered, “people wondered whether a woman might not strike difficulties here. They had the idea that an atmosphere existed in con- gressional committees which might everything the constituents in her!cause a woman not to want to ap- district, which covers Miami and the rest of the Florida east coast, want and ought to have.

Waldo, Ark, June 29.—(NEA)— From story book to encyclopedia to Kant’s philosophy—it’s all the same to Charles Ulrich Beeson, five, of this city, the son of Prof. Ulrich Beeson of Hardin College, Morril- ton, Ark. He reads and, more marvelous, he knows what he is reading about. And he prefers the heavier reading material to his story books. “Did the rabbits lay eggs for Easter?” a perfectly good inten: tioned interviewer asked. “Rabbits don’t lay eggs. Rab- bits are born. It is the birdies that lay eggs and give them to the Eas. ter rabbits,” he answered. “And another thing. Non-poisonous snakes lay eggs, but poisonous snakes are born.” But It’s Nice to Believe It His tone indicated he was per- fectly aware of the fact that rabbits have nothing whatever to do with eggs, but it was nice to believe it. hen Charles was asked to read. He opened a Bible and intoned a few verses with as much feeling and fervor as a minister of the gospel. He has been reading since he was two years old, and now he’s only ive. Showing off is something that Charles knows nothing about, but he will read for the curious folk about him—only to become so ab- sorbed in what he is reading that he can scarcely be dragged away from it.

And Charles turned the leaves until he came to “Kant.” He then volunteered the information that Kant was a great Higlipentd fogs and “I've read some of jis stuff.” All About Kant And just to satisfy his own curi- osity about the philosopher, he read the couple of columns on Kant’s life and works. Now and then a word of three or more syllables would momentarily “stump” him, but the cynical newspaper man was forced to admit that even he could have done little better. Charles’ teacher is Mrs. Ida Hale, his aunt. He is studying + French now, and has a big library and chooses his own literature. He reads the newspapers daily. “Ernest Thompson Seton is one of my favorite authors,” he said. “He knows a lot about animals, doesn’t he?” He can read his own sub-titles at the movies, thank you— and he doesn’t do it out loud. “We believe it is home-teaching that has placed Charles intellectu- ally with children up in the grades while he is not yet old enough to enter school,” his aunt says. Charles can count as far as any- body. He recently asked to study the piano and is just beginning that. He draws and writes well. He is a bit shy yet on multiplicands and dividends, but eats up anything told in words. And toys? Yes, being a boy, he likes them, too. THOUSANDS ATTEND GRADE GRADUATION More Than 225 Pupils Receive Diplomas at Outdoor Com- mencement Exercises ! School children of Morton county, their parents and the directors of the 47 districts in Morton county, gathered in Mandan today for the annual meeting of school officials and the eighth grade commencement exercises. It was estimated that at Jeast 2,000 persons had gathered in Chautauqua park by noon. The school directors met at 9 o'clock this morning in the circuit court room at the county courthouse, where they were addressed by H. H. Hanson on the new school legislation. * Following the address of Mr .Han- son the officials heard a talk by Pres. C. C. Swain, of the Mayville state teachers college. LaRue Shaw made a report on the accomplish- ments of the Morton county school officers legislative committee, after which H. J.

Both Mr. Newcomer Morton county, Mr. Jensen reported to the officials, ranks second in the state in the number of standardized school districts receiving state aid. It is surpassed, he told them, only by Williams county. The slogan adopted by the school directors, of “all schools in the coun- ty standardized by 1931,” he declared, shows promise of fulfillment. Thirty- two of the 47 districts are already standardized, and others are well on their way to the goal. The school children and their par- ents spread their picnic dinners in the park at noon, and at 1:30 the graduation exercises took place. More than 225 grammar school graduates of the county schools received their diplomas at the exercises. This num- ber did not include those who had received diplomas at exercises in their own schools. Had the whole num- ber been present, Mr. Jensen ex- plained, 379 graduates would have re- ceived diplomas. C. C. Swain, president of the May- ville state teachers college, gave the commencement address, and Supt. Jensen presented the diplomas. Glen Ullin Man Faces Charges of Assault Gottlieb Bettner, Glen Ullin, was arrested yesterday by Sheriff H. R. Handtmann on a charge of assault and battery preferred by his wife.
