The meeting at the Racquet Club was expected to close tonight. Calling at the White House yester- Gay, the committee, accompanied by Director Frank T. Hines of the Vet- erans’ Bureau informed the President they sald, that they favored a medicai corps for the bureau, as a help toward more efficlent treatment of the vet- erans of the World War. Indications that the legion may oppose the administration reorgani- zation bill, introduced by Representa- tive Mapes, came out yesterday when Senator Means of Colorado, member of the legion, called to ask if the committee had yet placed iteelf on Teoord regarding the bill. Chalrman Watson B. Miller replied that it had not as yet formally acted, but his response was interpreted to mean that the committee later fn its ses- slons was expected to oppose the Mapes bill, contending that the Vet- erans’ Bureau should be left where it is directed under the President, 83 an independent establishment. Criticizing what he charged was too much multiplication of agencles in American life, National Comdr. James A Drain of the American Legion yes- #erday lald down the principle that this organization should extend itself into no new fleld which was being han- dled already by others as well or bet- ter than it could be handled by the legion. “There is too much multiplication of agencles in American life today, from the Federal Government on down,” he declared. Comdr. Drain, discussing the new- 3y developed child welfare work of the American Legion, defended it against possible criticism by the 40 or more organizations which he said were doing welfars work. The legion, he pointed out, had a peculiar responsibility in looking after the children and the orphans of veterans. This was being done under a “mini- mum” program he Indicated. The committee was greeted by President Coolidge at the White House yesterday at noon. JURY IS DEADLOCKED. BESSEMER, Ala, February 23— The jury In the case of Dr. George T.

LONDON, February 3.—Words that may distress those who expound the theory of Nordio superiority were written last %eek by W. J. Perry, a British authority on cultural an- thropology. In the great urban centers such as London he has found that the tall blond peoples are dying out and that the race Is not so much to the strong as to those who are short, dark-haired and brown-eyed. The Nordic blond gets along all right in the country, he sald, but the dark peoples thrive and multiply best in the city. They cope better with urban conditions. If this thing keeps on and England continues to be- come more and more urban, Mr. Perry seems to think that Alpine and Med- iterranean folk will predominate in Britain as they did centurles ago.

The theory of trusteeship, Pepper sald, was supported by the protocol of peace and by the treaty of Paris Spain was called upon to relinquish title in favor of Cuba, and for the United States to take the Isle of Pines, he argued, would be to “wring tribute from the beneficiaries of our trust.” o Women of England are boosting English puddings made entirely from ingredlents grown in the empire.
