STOCKHOLM, January 26.—The forthcoming visit of Crown Prince iustay Adolph and Crown Princess uise to the United States is the sub. of much consideration in court cireles here on the question of royal etiquette involved The Crown Prince Is the most demo- cratie future king in Europe. He is simple and unaffected, and is more like . keen young business administrator than & member of traditional Eu- ropean royalty, but even democratic princes are hedged in by tradition here, Tradition forbids the Crown Prince granting newspaper Interviews -in weden, but American advisers urge that it would be disastrous to allow tofs policy in the United States.

Divergence of opinion as to the per. sonnel of the proposed National Cap- ital Plan Commission, and its fune tions under the bill introduced in the House by Representative chairman of the House District com- mittee, was expressed today at a hear- ing before a subcommittee of the House District committee considering the amended bill. The new measure would transfer all the functions of the | existing National Capital Park Com- mission to the new agency known as the National Capital Plan Commission, abolish the highway commission and set up what has been referred to as a supercommission” with the broadest powers of recommendation touching every phase of civic progress in Wash- ington. _ While Horace W. Peaslee, represent- | Ing the American Institute of Archi- | tects, with Lieut. Col. C. C. Sherrill, { one of the authors of the bill, declared there s toda: ington plan,” pointing out that the city has developed in accordance {with a number of plans, Charles { Moore, chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts, said that even though the city_has outgrown the L'Enfant and McMillan plans, these plans remain as the Washington plan, and must be the basis of all future growth. Mr. Peasiee asked the committee to make plain in the record that Mr. Moore's state 1 W view of the commission. He said he had letters from two technical mem- bers of the Fine Arts body indorsing the Zthlman bill. Mr. Moore said the existing agencies now in operation are competent and able to handle the details of develop. | ment of Washington, a statement at sharp variance with others appearing before the commission in support of the measure to create another organi- zation in place of the National Capital Park Commission. Have Needed Plans. “My own opinion is that the Na- tional Capital Park Commission, with the addition of technical experts to handle its drafting work, is competent. to handle the situation,” Mr. Moore We have all the plans Washington can live up to for the next 50 years." Mr. Moore sald there were some im- provements needed, notably the ex- tension of many of the streets and avenues, particularly those that will be the arterial highways of the future, to the point where subdivisfon devel opment will not interfere with their growth. Mr. Moore added that there is now too much duplication of agen- cles in Washington doing virtually the same things, pointing to parks and tree planting agencles, and urged con- solidation of all these units under one organization. Representative Keller of Minnesota, a member of the com- mittee, agreed with the fine arfs head. declaring that “vou never come before us with a united front” on District development. Turning to abolishment of the High- way Commission, Mr. Moore sald the machinery to develop the highway svstem has been available for many years, and ‘“was ths salvation of Washington” a score of years ago. He said all avenues should be ex- tended and opened up, and urged a restudy of Sixteenth street from Co- lumbia road north to the District line in view of the proposed northern entrance. Checked by Lack of Experts. Engineer Commissioner Bell told the subcommittee that the Commissioners have had plans for some time for the opening up of many streets and avenues, but have been checked in their desire because of lack of experts. He said, “We have been going from hand to mouth,” seeing new subdivi- slons developed and losing the chance uf opening up streets until too late. Mr. Keller sald if all the various civic bodies working for the develop- ment of Washington were agreed on an adequate Washington plan, Con- gress would pass it no matter how many millions of dollars it required for its execution. He sald he did not take the narrow view of the people of the District, adding that in his judgment the Govrenment should build the larger parks and build- ings, while the smaller areas would be paid for by the people of the Dis- trict. Mr. Peaslee told the subcommit- tee that the McMillan plan had to do only with the park system and the location of park buildings, and the highway plan is more an extension of the L'Enfant plan than a develop- ment of that plan. Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian of the Public Library, asked the com- mittee to change the wording of a paragraph of the bill to recommend purchase of school and library sites. Sites for Libraries. He sald the school law of Washing- ton predicted development of libraries continuously with school development and hoped sites for libraries will be available before they are all taken for other purposes. Proctor L. Dougherty, representing the Chevy Chase Citizens' Associa- tion, told the subcommittee his organ- ization hopes Washington will have adequate representation on the pro- nosed commission, urging that two »f the appointive members be bong- fide residents of the District of Colum- hia, and Evan H. Tucker, president of the Northeast Citizens' Assoclation, said he hoped men of national promi- nence would be selected for the com- mission. mg:p:mnunve Zihlman, who intro- duced the bill, was called before the subcommittee as a witness and said the McMillan plan is not applicable ro Washington now, in view of the changes in the city, “‘without enor- mous cost.” He added, however, that the McMillan plan has been very help- tul in the work of the National Cap- ital Park Commission, of which he is a member.

Pending this “‘more perfect” organi- zation, he added, he favored an Alr Corps with the independent status of the Marine Corps. In reply to questions, he sald one of his “basic recommendations’ to the President's Alr Board had been adopted by that body and embodied in proposed legislation sponsored by the administration. Secretary Davis, recalled for further questions, said he did not think a separate alr corps would solve the problem. “I don’t believe in nd the plans for | sanization,” he added. MITCHELL STARTS SERVING SENTENCE, GETS HALF OF PAY partment and the Navy Department and the officials exercising the ad- ministration thereof, without designa- tion of names of individuals critic ed, In these statements Mitchell charged the War and Navy Depart ments with “almost treasonable ad also informed the President that the Board of Re- view and the judge advocate general had held thai the evidence in the trial “fully supports the findings and sentence and that the record of trial is legally sufficlent to support them.” In recommending suspension dur ing the pleasure of the President of a part of the forfeiture included in the sentence, the board and judge ad- vocate general held “that officers of the Army are so hedged about hy restrictive statutes that it would be impossible for them to utillze in com- mercial pursuits while remaining of- ficers much of the training they have as officers.” “This is S0 to such an extent that it would make it difficult for the ac- cused in this case to secure employ- ment that would permit him to make adequate provision for himself and his dependents.” In submitting his own recom- mendation that Mitchell be allowed one-half of his non-flying pay, which eliminates the 50 per cent Increase in base pav he has recelved as an officer on flying duty, Mr. Davis rald he was “moved to recommend such modification of the sentence because of the fact that the accused s mar- ried and has children dependent upon him, and I do not believe that they should suffer any severe hardship as a result of his misconduct.” The $397.67 a month Mitchell will receive includes $120 a month for rental of quarters and $36 for sub- sistence. Under his status as sus- pended from all rank or duty, he could not be given quarters at an Army post, which made necessary the rental allowance. ‘White House Statement. The text of the White House state- ment, announcing the President's findings in the Mitchell case, follows: “The President has made his de- cision in the case of Col. Willlam Mitchell, modifying the decision of the court-martial as to pay and al- lowances, increasing slightly the recommendations of the judge advo- cate general, but following completely the recommendations of the Secretary of War, so that hereafter during the pleasure of the President, Col. Mitch- ell will be entitled to all his allow- ances and one-half of the monthly pay which he would draw, while not ac- tually engaged in flying, making total of $397.67 per month or about $4,760 per year. The full statement of the President is as follows: “In the foregoing case of Col. Wil- llam Mitchell, Air Service, the follow- ing action is hereby taken: “A duly constituted court-martial has determined that the accused has been gullty of highly censurable con- duct. The country has every reason to expect that its officers, especially those who hold positions of high rank 'and have had long experience in the service, will at all times be strictly obedlent to the provisions of the law and the requirements of the rules by which they are governed. Charges Are Cited. “The court-martial has found that on September 3, 19265, the naval air- ship Shenandoah was destroyed in a ) Storm, and that destruction involved the loss of 14 persons of her crew. Two days later, and at a time when the naval airplane PN-9 was supposed to be lost and all members of her crew drowned, the accused, taking ad- vantage of the horror-stricken state. of the minds of the people and their natural desire to learn the causes of such losses, and their readiness to listen to the views of persons having, or supposed to have, expert knowledge of such subjects, published his state- ment of September 5, 1926, set out in the charges, and in which he violently assailed the War Department and the Navy Department. the administration of those depart. ments as incompetent, criminally neg- ligent and almost treasonable. He charged tho:va1 &dn&r&lnaflns those de- partments orance, suppres- sion of the truth and with glving mis- leading, if not false, informstion con- cerning the Alr Service to Congress and the people. The board of review finds that those statements were made without basis in fact. In his state- ment of September 9, 1925, set out in the charges, ho employed expressions which cannot be construed otherwise than as breathing deflance toward his military superiors. “The theory of Government im plies that every official 5o long as he NAVY BL PASSD CUTING AR LAN Butler Offers $4,962,000 Measure as Substitute for Appropriation. After making two important changes in the Navy appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning July 1 next, the House passed that measure yesterday, and it now goes to the Senate. The House cut the bill the recommended appropriation of $9,000,000 for building alrcraft during the coming fiscal year, It also held up for six months the authorization of $300,000 so that the Navy might contract for an all-metal dirigible with the Alrcraft Develop- ment Corporation, backed by the Ford interests. Butler Leads Fight. On both of these sections the fight was led by Representative Thomas S. Butler of Pennsylvania, chairman of the naval affairs committee, on the ground that the appropriations con- templated had not been authorized by substantive law through his com- mittee, which has original jurisdic- tion. The Navy commttee immediately began work looking toward early passage of a bill covering a compre- hensive program for the naval air service which will give substantive legal authority for the expenditure of many millions for new aircraft con- struction. Action was taken by the House on the allmetal dirigible matter after Mr. Butler had informed the House his committee already had asked the Navy Department for all correspond- ence with the Alrcraft Corporation and proposed to inquired Into the ad- visability of constructing such a craft. 4,000 Cut Authorized. Except for these two changes, the bill was sent to the Senate practically in the same form in which it was drafted by the House appropriations naval subcommittee.

By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, January 26.— Aircraft soon will reach the limit of its development as a national defense factor, unless some new and mar- velous Invention is given the world, predicts Dr. W. F. Durand, nationally known aviation authority. Dr. Durand, who is the director of the Stanford University laboratory of werodynamics, made his prediction be fore a meeting of the Association of the Army of the United States here yesterday. “‘Although alrcraft, particularly the bombing planes, will be an agency of tremendous importance in wars," said Dr. Durand, “its effectiveness is apparently to be offset considerably by two elements. These are antl-aircraft fire and the human element. “The attalnment of greater speedl and greater ceiling will be balked by the human element, because of the limitations as to speed and the height which the human organism can stand.” Enthusiastic dreams of planes that will carry bombs across seas nnd into thinge, it provides for a reduction of | the enemy’s country and lay towns 4,000 men in the Navy's authorized onlisted personnel, abandonment of the Lakehurst, N. J., naval air sta- tion and for withdrawal from active service of a number of ships, the number and type to be decided by the Navy itself. Shortly after the House passed the bill Mr. Butler introduced a measure to expend $4,962,000 for new alrcraft construction. This amount approx- imates the direct appropriation for this purpose stricken from the Navy supply bill. The remainder of the $9,000,000 eliminated was a contract wthorization. The measure present. ed by Mr. Butler will serve as a ve- hicle for his committee to take up | the drafting of a naval building program. “PIE-EATING” CONTEST PLANNED AT FOOD SHOW Most Prolific Eater of Custard Va- riety to Get Large Bag of Edibles as Prize.

This is especlally true of those in the military service. Unless this rule is applied there could be no discipline in the Army and the Navy, without which those two forces would not only be without value as a means of defense, but would become actually a menace to soclety. Discipline is the whole basis of military training. “The sentence is approved and will be duly executed except as herein- after provided. The Secretary of War reports that the present monthly pay of the accused, without the special pay allowed to those, who are actu- ally engaged in flying, is $483.33. His allowances for rental and subsistence are $158 per month. If he be granted his rental and subsistence, and one- half of his pay. the amount is un- dersatood to be $397.67. There are cer- tain statutory reatrictions on the ac tivities of Army officers by which the accused may be hampered in se- curing employment to provide sup- port for himself and those dependent upon him. “Therefore, modifying the recom- mendations of the judge advocate general and following the recommen- dations of the Secretary of War, the execution of so much of the sentence as adjudges forfeiture of all of the allowances and one-half of the monthly pay of the accused. making a total of $397.67 monthly, is during the pleasure of the President sus pended.

The bread and butter of this gallant colonel who proved his worth on the fleld of battle is dependent upon the ‘whim, not only of the present Execu- tive, but his successor in office, and evidently is for the sole purpose of muzzling the colonel and keeping the truth from the people. ‘The sentence, as revised by the President, means that for five years the Nation will be without its fore- most champlion of an adequate na- tional defense. “I am informed that the record of this court-martial went to the Presi- dent only today; yet this case involv- ing a great national problem was act- ed upon by the Chief Executive with- in a few hours.

The new religlous creed of universal brotherhood, in which J. Krishnamurti, Indian youth, is described as the sec- ond incarnation of Christ, according to the new dogma, was expounded here last night before about 100 mem- bers of the Washington Liberal Cath- olic mission, at a meeting at the Play- house, 1814 N street, under the auspices of the Order of the Star in the Kast. 2 Admitting that he and his followers are regarded as “heretics” by orthodox faiths, Rev. Charles Hampton, Liberal Catholic priest, of New York City, who is minister of the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, and who re- presented Bishop Irving S. Cooper, American spiritual head of the order, outlined the tenets of the new faith. Attacks Orthodox Creeds. Speaking in a slow, studied manner, Father Hampton attacked orthodox creeds for their “narrowness” and “‘exclusiveness,” and prophesied that the World Teacher would come again soon, teaching a universal message to all men. Father Hampton said that Christ, fn His second advent, may not stay in the body of Krishnamurti all the time; that He may also use other individu- als for the habitation of His spirit. Krishnamurti's followers believe that Christ and Jesus were two distinct entities; that Christ inhabited the Man Jesus only the last three vears of his life, during his active ministry. “This may be a point difficult for many Christians to accept,” explained Father Hampton. “Yet some of the early church fathers held that Jesus and Christ were two distinct persons; that Christ, the World Teacher, occu- pled the body of Jesus during the three years of His public ministry; but that He was not necessarily present at every moment. Is Not Now Christ. “Just in the same way, the public must not imagine that Mr. Krishna- murt! {s now the Christ. Nor need we think that it is absolutely necessary the World Teacher will remain with him at every mement of the time—let us say, when his ody is asleep or trav- eling, and He is not doing His work as World Teacher. On the other hand, once the glory has descended upon Mr. Krishnamurtl, it may rematn un interruptedly for many, many years, instead of only for three years, as it did before. We look upon the head of our order as a disciple—a wonderfully pure and self-effacing disciple.’ Attacking orthodox churches for keeping people out of them through their “dogmatic barriers, that Christ did not erect,” Father Hampton de- clared: “Dr. Fosdick hit the nail on the head when he described the absurd claims to uniqueness that are made by varfous churches. You start out, he sald, with ‘the Church of Christ,’ then a split comes and some break off and call themselves ‘the True Church of Christ’; later another division arises and the result is that we have still another that calls itself ‘the Only True Church of Christ.' Al this has arisen bécause the church never has been universal enough. The world teacher i too big for any one denomination. He {s far too universal.” With the second coming of the World Teacher. Mr. Krishnamurti's followers belleve, all this narrow- mindedness will disappear. One manifestation of this new life, he said, would be change in the polit- ical life. “It may be considered slightly humorous to think that any one could clean up politics and abol- ish graft,” he declared. “Yet the time is not far distant when young men and women will enter politics just as the knights of old entered the cru- sades. Through that work they will attaln spiritual fllumination.” Father Hampton announced that plans are being prepared for the con- struction of an international univer- sity at Hollywood, center of the American church of the new order. He said, however, that no plans are now being considered for the erection of a Liberal Catholic Church in Washington. Victor Russell is head of the Washington Chapter of the Order of the Star in the East. George M. M. Walker presided last night, and the program was arranged by Seia L. Palsley. Father Hampton will be here two days and will hold a_private meeting with followers of Krishnamurt! to. day, and tomorrow evening will ad- dress the meeting of the Theosoph- ical Socletv. which is a related order. —_— .

The spot price yes terday, he sald, was 68 cents and rub ber for three months' delivery was about 64 cents. “Our fmports of rubber for 1925 were 860,000,000 pounds,” Mr. Hoover sald. “If we import the same amount for 1926 and had continued to pay the price demanded last December our rubber bill would have been $350,000,- 000 more than it will be at the present levels.” The rubber monopoly abroad, Mr. Heover sald, had put the price to 600 per cant of the cost of production and to 300 per cent over the price the com- mittee of producers had announced as a fair price.
