R WHTE LKELY FOR HENNIG POST ' Lahor Aide Would Advance, | With Husband Expected | as Successor. | _Selection of Carl Robe White of | Muncie, Ind., to be Assistant Secre- | tary of Labor, succeeding E. J. Hen- i ning, who has been appointed to a | Feakral judgeship in southern Cali- | fornia, is expected to be announced jat the White House within a day or | two. | Although definite announcement was {not forthcoming from the Labor De- | partment, indications were that Mr. | White, who is Assistant Secretary in charge of immigration matters, will |succeed Mr. Henning, and that W. { Walter Husband, commissioner general {of immigration, will succeed Mr. White. It was also predicted that former Representative Harry E. Hull of Iowa would sucgeed Mr. Husband |as immigration commissioner. Mr. White, a prominent attorney of In- diana, entered the Labor Department in 1921, and has served as chalrman of the board of appeals on immigration cases and as Assistant Secretary. He handled the Firpo and other famous cases which have come before immi- | gration authorities 4 Mr. Henning has left Washington to take. up his new duties in California TRI-COLOR LIGHTS GOVERNING TRAFFIC 10 BE URGED HERE (Continued from First Page.) across a street when the light is turned against him. These automatic lights also can be connected with fire engine houses in the downtown sec- tion, enabling the fire department to set the stop light along a thorough- fare on which they are about to make a fire run.” Col. Moller also said he was told the operation of the synchronized lighting system has not slowed up street car travel where it has been installed on thoroughfares that have car lines. Placing Is Considered. The traffic engineer indicated that in the first installation on Pennsy vania avenue, for example, the lights probably will be placed at every third or fourth intersection. He said it would be possible for motorists to see {them that far apart. When the lights are first installed, Col. Moller said, traffic policemen weuld not be taken immediately awa: from any intersections where they are now, but that eventually the synchro nized system would enable the Police Department to transfer men to those points where automatic lights will not | be installed. He also stated that there will be some intersections where it will be necessary in rush hours to cut the lights out of the synchronized sys- | tem and have them operated manfa'ly to meet the peculiar conditions. Drivers Are Warned. Traffic Director Eldridge today warn- ed motorists to remember that head- lights should be dimmed under the new regulations on all well lighted streets, and he named Sixteenth street as a thoroughfare that does not call for bright lights. Mr. Eldridge said he thought it would be a good general rule for motorists to use their head- lights on all streets lighted by gas lamps. The director said it also had come to his attention that some motorists are driving at night with only one front light, which is a violation of the law. He warned motorists also against the practice of failing to turn on the parking light when they leave thelr cars on the street all night. Following a tour of inspection of the vicinity of Center Market yeste day afternoon, Director Eldridge an- nounced that he would issue an, order permitting angle parking in the area and Pennsylvania avenue. On | street, he said, angle parking will be permitted both at the south curb and near the car tracks. PARKING CURB HIT. 1I:Ildridge Defends New Law in Reply To Chaplain. nswering a letter from Lieut. Col. J. E. Yates, an Army chaplain, pro- testing against morning and evening parking restrictions in the vicinity and G streets, Traffic Director Eldridge to- day appealed to the public to give the new rules a fair trfal. Col. Yates wrote, in part, as follows: “I feel it my duty to protest against the unfair discrimination against all Government employes in certain lo- calities where present traffic orders forbid parking automobiles from ¥ to 9:15 and from 4 to 6. It is common knowledge that all these employes must_be at their places of duty at 9 o'clock each morning and cannot leave before 4:30. Consequently, these areas near Government buildings are almost _entirely unused for parking throughout the day while other areas are greatly congested.” Explained by Eldridge. In reply, Director Eldridge said, in part: “The reason for the limitation of parking between § and 9:15 a.m. on both sides of G street between Seven- teenth and Nineteenth streets, on the north side of F' street between Seven- teenth and Nineteenth streets and the south side of F street between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets during the same hours, was to enable persons who have business with the State, War and Navy Department, with the Interior Department and other Government departments in that neighborhood, to find a place in which they could park their cars while they are transacting business with those departments. Shows Parking Space. “The regulations on limited parking on the streets referred to and the two-hour limitation during the rest of the day, was very carefully worked out after a thorough investigation of the situation existing in that neigh- borhood. There are a large number of sfreets, within from three to five blocks of the State, War and Navy Department, where hundreds of cars can be parked all day long. These in- clude such streets as G, west of Ning teenth; F, west of FEighteenth; street, west of Seventeenth; D street, from Seventeenth west; C street and B street, also Seventeenth street, from New York avenue south; H, I and K streets from Seventeenth street west; Pennsylvaniaavenue from Seventeenth street west; Eighteenth street from F street south; Nineteenth and Twentieth streets throughout their entire length. There is sufficient space in the streets which I have mentioned to park thou- sands of cars and it ought to be no great inconvenience to Government clerks to park their cars in these streets and walk a few blocks. German Diplomat Dies. BERLIN, May 13 (A.P.).—Baron Ferdinand von Stumm, long identified with the German diplomatic service, died here today at the age of 82.

MOORE FLAYS “ULTRA-PATRIOTS” AS UN-AMERICAN (Continued from First Page.) parture of the foreign delegates for their homes, I find that so much has been said, so much insinu by in dividuals ' not connected with = our council, that I think the time has come for me to make a definite answer to_their charges. “What I have to say is not said in 1y spirit of antagonism toward our crities, but simply to inform my col league from overseas of the causes for the attacl and to suggest to them the value and welght they should be given. “It would be unfair, name any one group as responsible for circulating these criticisms and suspicions, and T know that even those groups which have combined to act in the role of critical observers at our meetings, have done so without the authority or knowledge of the organi- Zations of which they are members. “But_our foreign visitors, who have | read of the ‘ks upon the douneil | in the pres coming from persons identified with well known organiza tions, may not be aware of this. Defends Free Speech. perhaps, to “To my mind, a sufficient answer to the various critics of our council, and the program of its convention here, would be to point out that in thelr effort to prove their own pa- triotism by questioning ours, they are violating the spirit of one of the| fundamental rights guaranteed in our Constitution t of free speech | “By thus attempting to censor our | meetings these ultra-patriots are prov ing themselves false to the Constitu tion to which they so effusively swear alleglance. “The women who are most promi- nent in the International Council, and who have, by virtue of their key po- sitions on standing committees, in- fluenced our work, are all tried and true patriots, respected in their own countries and recognized as sincere well meaning throughout the world. g “I might venture to say that com.- ! pared, woman to woman, with many of their critics they and their imme- diate families have the more enviable records for gallantry and service in war_time. “But, the war as all women every’ to do, are exerting every effort to prevent future wars by xponsorlr?g and spreading a creed of good will{ and co.operation in social and educa- tional activities in all lands. “Unfortunate Tirades.” “I am at a loss to guess at the rea- sons for or the purpose of these un fortunate tirades which have been di rected against us. | “It may be a desire for personal| | over, these wonien, here must wish | notoriety on the part of the individual critics. 1t may be a miss-directed overflow of patriotism. “At all events the insinuations | against our patriotism or loyalty have been unwarranted, unjust and unfair, and it is my earnest hope that the delegates to the convention from abroad will understand that the critical sentiments expressed do mot: represent the attitude of the people { he United States as a whole. or 1 believe our Nation feels as much as our council does, that the true guide to relations with folk at home or abroad is summed up in the council’s motto, ‘Do unto others as ye would they should do unto you.'” Membership Closed. The International Council of Wom- en this morning closed its membership to any more unternational organiza- tions by a vote of 215 to 112. The American delegation, led by Prof. Marion P. Whitney of Vassar College, led in the opposition to ad- mitting _such _organizations as the International Y. W. C. A., the Salva- tion Army, the International League of Youth and the International Fed- eration of Working Women. These organizations can affiliate, it was ex- plained, with natlonal councils, and hence have a voice in the international organization. They can be invited fo send delegates without votes. Hitherto it has been the custom to admit fraternal delegates from such socleties with voting power. —On Monday, over the opposition of Soulh Africa, three delegates were admitted from the International Suffrage As- sociation and the opposition has de- veloped rapidly since then. The delegates will make a pilgrim- age to the tomb of Woodrow Wilson, at the National Cathedral, tomorrow afternoon. Lady Aberdeen will place a wreath in behalf of the International Council. CoMost of the foreign delegates were busy today preparing for visits to New York, Philadelphia and Boston. They will leave Washington Friday. Terms War Barbagous. Iry has gone out of war, Mrs. Gei?:;?M};rgnn. president of the Na- tional Council of Great Britain, said at the open session last night when the general issue of peace and security was under consideration. ¥ “The last war,” she said, “develop- ed armaments for the safety of the man who operates them and for the destruction of helpless and defenseless people in sleeping towns. We now hurl huge dumps of ammunition long distances without any danger to the Man who operate the instruments. We must wipe out of our thought the idea that war begets the best in man, for how it begets the worse. We are in the throes of a new birth of thought. ' America. is the product of the rest of the world: Its thought and civili- zation is drawn from the Old World. It cannot stand alone. Any ' nation that tries to do this will surely die.” Mme. Aino Kallas, delegate from Esthonia, said, in part: “There is a quality which may be called the peace- loving passivity of women. It is no real virture in itself. The physical weakness of women has at all times kept them out of actual warfare. It is, S0 to speak, their natural heritage. In nature it is always the male who goes to war. The wild prairie oxen and horses form when in danger a kind of fighting square.in the middle of which they hide the mothers of the jto STAR, WASHINGTON, |WOMAN TOPREACH | CHRISTIN INDUSTRY English Delegate to Quin- quennial Will Spend Three Months in U. S. Miss Knight Bruce, English dele- zate of the International Council of Women, has come to the United State: to preach a neéw evangel—the practi cal Christianizing of industry. During the next three months she is scheduled to deliver more than 100 iresses to business and labor organi- zations in American cities on the doc- trine which, she claims, already has found wide acceptance in her own country. Is Vigorous Worker. Bruce, her compatriots say, is a nd campaigner for Christ amid smokestacks. Last Fall she delivered 90 addresses in one month. She is the daughter of the first Iinglish mission- ary to Central Africa. “It is one thing to say,” Miss Bruce said, “that industry needs Christ. It is a comparatively new idea in the world, but it is only empty words unless there is a scientific plan of procedure. “The first problem we faced was find out just what Christianity was—I do not mean sectarian Christian: but the vital principle itseif. We have succeeded, I think, s to four active constituents—sanc, v of personality. 0od, free- and the sac value of Under th philosophy of Christ, as it applies to working life and not necessarily to church worship, can be subdivided. “This attitude places heavy respon- sibllities on both labor and capital. Curb on Employers. “The first constituent, the sanctity of personality, means that the in- dividual cannot be used as means to an end—that all men are due equal opportunities of development. This places a strong rein on employers willing to accept our doctrine. “The last. the sacramental value of things, restrains labor also. It means that things exist only to serve life— that the real meaning of money, for Instance, is life. It is up to each man to develop himself and to look upon everything he makes, not as a dead thing, but as something created only to serve life. “Jt is the challenge of the moment. Tt is Christ's challenge to indus- trialism.” —— deepest and most hidden instincts of man to abolish war. What has been unconscious must become fully conscious.” Sees Progress Made. Fru Anna Backer of Norway. vice president of the International Council, said: “Today you will notice a slow but steady progress toward a change from the violent lust of power into a purposeful endeavor to promote the welfare of humanity by national agreements. One sees the struggle to find ways and means of building up a better world.” Fru Backer traced the evolution of man from the time when his hand was against everybody’s to the present when within nations disputes are set- tled by law. Mme. Clara D'Arcis said: “There is a true and false internationalism just as there is a true and false patriotism. If your patriotism decries and denies its next form of evolution, interna- tionalism, it is a spurious article. If your internationalism despises and repudiates the patriotism from which change the very |it has developed it is evil masquerad- ing in holy garments.” Mme. Elisa Vannutelli Carra of Italy declared the world was divided into three groups—those wishing for peace constructively, those working for it destructively and those who have not awakened to the problem. Ask Limit on Drugs. The International Council held last business nial_yesterda. eration of the agenda. A special resolution was passed urg- ing the restriction of drug production to the medical and scientific needs of the world. Other resolutions asked equal rights for women within various employments, equal pay for equal work without consideration of the sex of the worker, no limitations on the work of married women apart from provisions for maternity, prohibition of work in the weeks before and after confinement to be accompanied by a maternity provision equal at least to a minimum living wage and the forma- tion of a special child welfare com- mittee. ACCUSES ALIEN WOMEN. its and completed consid- resolutions on the United States War Mothers’ Head De- nounces Disarmament Plea. Charges by Mrs. H. H. McCluer, na- tional head of the American War Mothers, that the International Coun- cil of Women in session in Wash- ington is meddling and interfering in national affairs and is attempting to dictate the policy of the United States furnished a dramatic climax to a meeting of the National Patriotic | Council last night in the Interior De- partment auditorium. After pointing out that she had been denied the right to express her views before the quiquennial convention of International Council of Women, Mrs. McCluer unloosed her broadside on the organization. Her attack came unex- pectedly just prior to adjournment, and served to bring back into the auditorium a number of persons who ‘were leaving. Charges Alien Meddling. “The American War Mothers re- fuse to be asphyxiated into silence,” Mrs. McCluer declared, referring to thé refusal of the council to allow her to speak before it last week. .‘‘They know that their voices will be heard by the country, even though not within the walls of the Washington Auditorium. ““We felt that it was extremely pre- sSumptuous for groups of women from the old world to come to the United States and suggest here disarmament by example. We have a small stand- ing Army. It is they who should set the example, and not we. “Such objections as the American War Mothers might make are not wanted. It seems that the only thing that was being ‘gratefully received’ was the contribution of $100. And then we found that the $100 was a contribution, and not what it had been represented to be—an admission fee to the privilege of joining in discus- sions and putting motions.” ‘Warns of Red Peril. Senator Mlle. Josephine Szebeko, president of the National Council of ‘Women of Poland, decried the Soviet regime in Russia as “the most hor- rible form of slavery,” while Mme. Charlotte de Gaeoze of Hungary urged that efforts be made to combat its spread in other parts of the world. Insidious propagation of radical movements in the country was at- tacked by former Representative Philip P. Campbell of Kansas. . Other speakers were Brig. Gen. Amos A. wace. “This peace-loving quality is not a virtue in itself. But I am certain that during thousands and thousands of years it has prepared the soil and made women more receptive to the ideas of peace than men.

By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 13.—When J. T.

Gets Financial Backing. George W. Rappleyea, a chemical engineer and advocate of the theories of evolution, who was responsible for the issuance of the warrant under which Scopes was arrested. announced at Dayton that before starting the proceedings he had obtalned a s ar- antee from the American Civil 1 ler- ties Union that it would co-operate financlally to carry the case to the highest cour Following his arrest, Scopes, science teacher in the Rhea County High School, was held for action by the grand jury, which meets in August. The Tennessee law became effective March 21 and it was charged that in a review of a text book on biology several paragraphs dealing with evo- lution were discussed. The biology text book is one of the regularly State-adopted school books. Mr. Bryan's acceptance of a role in the prosecution, contingent upon such representation being agreeable to the legal department of Tennessee, ame as the result of a request from the Christian Fundamental Associa- tion, meeting here. The organization also asked the Commoner to tour the colleges and universities of the coun- try to present the arguments of the fundamentalists before student bodies and reply to advocates of the theory of evolution. Rapped by Bryan. “I have been asked to help in the fight to preserve the integrity of that aw (Tennessee evolution law), and I am going to do it,” Mr. Bryan said in an address to the Pittsburgh Presby- tery, after the invitation had been re- ceived. “We cannot afford to have a system of education that destroys the re- ligious faith of our children.” Mr. Bryan, who from pulpit and platform “and in the press has at- tacked the teaching of evolution, as- serted that “carefully prepared figures indicate that among freshmen who enter colleges 15 per cent are without religious faith. By the time they have reached their senior year, the college atmosphere of unbelief has so in- fluenced their lives that there are 45 per cent who are without religious faith. “The attack being made right now upon those who stand squarely for the Christian faith of their fathers is Mot an attack of orthodoxy. It is an attack on religion,” he said. ““There are about 5,000 scientists and probably half of them are atheists in the United States. Are we going to allow them. to run our schools? We are not.” MRS.

Arrangements were completed to day by the Washinton Automotive Trade Association, co-operating with Director of Traflic Eldridge and the Bureau of Standards, to expedite the inspection of brakes, horns and lights on all Washington cars, as provided in the new traffic regulations. At the request of Mr. Eldridge, the automo- bile dealers have declded to inspect all cars in the District, each dealer inspecting the cars of his own make.
