California Net Star And Partner Advance * Auteuil, France, May 25.—(?)— SHOWN HERE IN FILM {150 Persons See “Abitibi Canyon”, Picture At Local Theater Wednesday One hundred fifty Bismarck persons saw and heard a talking picture des- cription at the Paramount theater Wednesday evening of a native son's operations in harnessing the Abitibi river in northern Canada through construction of & $23,000,000 dam and }power structure, one.of the greatest engineering feats on the North Am- erican continent. In the audience were many time residents of the Capital City or relatives of the “star”—Harry Falcoh- er McLean—and who could remember him as a boy here in his prankish ac- tivity as well as his periods of sober reflection and study. Among the old-timers were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Falconer, uncle and aunt of the internationally-famous enginer and contractor, and Duncan J. Mc- Gillis, who, as McLean said in @ re- cent letter to his uncle here, “used to chase us up to the roof and give us the d—, but I do not remember that he ever struck one of us.” McLean, in that letter, referred to some of his as a boy when the Dakota Territorial legislature was in session. | In Charge of Operations McLean, vice president of the Do- minion Construction company, was in charge of operations in the Abitibi canyon and had the picture taken during construction. The film first showed the dam site before any work was done,.with In- dians paddling their canoes up and down the torrential stream. of a community at the construction site, with 1,900 workmen and their families moving in almost over night.

Associated Press dispatches said Jerome denied knowing anything about the robbery but admitted he ‘was wanted in North Dakota. He had been working in a garage in the Washington city. Jerome was one of the two men for whom McHenry county and state authorities have been seeking for more than three years in connection with the “torture” case in 1929. A |third, art Zimmerman, is serving a 20-year sentence for the robbery. The case occurred in October, 1929, when three men robbed Joseph Krimm of $1,160 at his farm home near Karls- ruhe. In the belief that Krimm had more money on hand they beat him and stabbed him in the feet with a knife to make him tell where he kept his money. Krimm’s son watched the torture activities while one of the trio covered him with a gun. Captured a few days after the rob- bery, Zimmerman was identified by Krimm and his'son as one of the trio. The other two men were identified as Clifford Johnson and Terry Jerome of Minot.

The decision to place an amend- ment into the tax provisions of the vast administration bill was reached shortly before the house met to be- gin debate on the measure. Chairman Houghton appointed a sub-committee consisting of Repre- sentative Ragon (Dem., Ark.), Vin- son (Dem., Ky.), and Treadway (Rep., Mass.), to conduct the investigation and to draft an amendment for in- sertion into the bill in the house Friday. Ragon said “immediate steps will be taken to prevent the recurrence of such conditions which permitted the Morgan partners to avoid the pay- ment of income taxes.” Opposition Looms in House Meanwhile, two-fold opposition. shaped itself in the house to the anti- trust law suspension and revenue pro- visions in the administration's indi trial recovery bill, but almost unani- mous approval of the $3,300,000,000 Public works program was indicated.

F Optimism Rules as Steel Leaders Meet New York, May 25.—(#)—In con- trast with the gloom pervading the last annual session, the American Iron & Steel institute held its 1933 meeting in an atmosphere of confidence and optimism Thursday. Steel manufacturers from the lead- ing producing centers commented hopefully on the marked expansion in operations this spring and many of them looked for further gains. Charles M. Schwab, chairman of Bethlehem Steel corporation and chairman of the institute, said pres- ent conditions were the reverse of 1932. Current operations still are “far from what we would like to see,” he stated, but they are more than double the rate of a few weeks ago and the trend is “in the right direction.” He urged institute members to support President Roosevelt's program of eco- nomic recovery. William A. Irvin, president of the United States Steel corporation, said that “the rather liberal demands for steel products during the last six weeks quite clearly indicate the need of the country for replenishment of stocks.” ASKS FOR PROTECTION Mexico City, May 25.—(?)—The for- eign office has promised Samuel Sung Young, Chinese minister, that the government will take steps to pro- tect members of his race against an .|anti-Chinese drive in the state of Chihuahus which hes resulted in the [death of three men. { marck high school will receive di- plomas at commencement exercises next Thursday evening, it was an- nounced Thursday by W.

Senator Borah, (Rep., Ida.) com- mented that the secretary of the treasury should be “above reproach, like Caesar's wife,” while Senator Robinson, (Rep.

A letter from Raskob expressing ap- preciation of “kindly remembering” him and expressing the hope he coula reciprocate in the future was placed in the record.

Japan Is Irked by Present Navy Pacts Geneva, May 25.—(>)—United States lor Norman H. Davis voiced regret at the disarmament conference Thursday that Japan has proposed to delete any reference to the London and Washington naval treaties from the arms convention that is being negotiaiec. The Japanese position, the Ameri- can representative said, might have a regrettable effect on public opinion. Japan has opposed reference to the treaties on the theory that it would sanctify pacts which will be unac- ceptable to Japan when they expire. The smaller powers and Russia at- tacked the naval strength of the big Powers as discriminatory. and France urged reduction in the size of battlc- [anips. |
