SOUTH CREDIT AID EXTENSION URGED All emergency credit agencies set vp in the South to aid rehabilitation of the flood region should be continued through 1928, Lewis E. Pierson, presi- aent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, declared in a state- ment made public today.

His committee's investigation, Mr. Plerson said, had resulted in the con- clusion that the credits machinery should be extended to protect residents of many sections until they can begin crop production next vear. FPointing out that the Flood Credits Corpora- tion was formed with a capital of 0,000 with the assistance of the tional Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Plerson said: “It has become evident that all of the agencies organized to meet th emergency credit situation in the Mis sissippl Valley flooded areas should B. logically be continued into 1928, if | productive rehabilitation is to be made effective.” He added that he had been informed that State credit corporations desired to co-operate to that end.

Pope Praises Work. ‘The work of the council in preserv- ing the sanctity of marriage, the unity of family life, freedom in education, and in opposing the modern trend to immoral literature, books and motion pictures, was highly commended by the Pope through the papal legate. Most Rev. Peter Fumasoni-Biondi, at the banquet at the Mayflower Hoted last night. “Frequently the Holy Father has pleaded with women to take a firm stand against extreme and immodest fashions of dress, immoral cinemas and literature.” declared the apostolic delegate. “The National Council's activity in opposing the paganizing of marriage and the breaking down of Christian standards is highly grati- fying.. The Holy Father counts on you to uphold the noble standards of Christian womanhood, and T shall tell him his trust has not been misplaced.” Beauty Contest Hit. The proposed resolution against beauty contests, and bathing beach pageants, recommended at a session Monday, was unanimously adopted by the entire' convention, yesterday aft- ernoon.

Unless certain factions in Congr deem otherwise, the _controver aroused by Rear Admiral Thomas I Magruder's magazine article critici ing the conduct of the Navy is now closed incident, so far as Secretar: Wilbur is concerned. This was made known after a con- ference late yesterday between the two principal actors involved in the latest naval episode, arranged at the telephonic request of Admiral Ma- gruder, in which he expressed regret to his chief if the criticism had caused Mr. Wilbur any embarrassment. Sec- retary Wilbur made no concealment of the embarrassment the criticism had caused him, but as a result of the conference the Navy has abandoned any idea of disciplining the admiral. The latter made it clear that he had no thought of criticizing any official of the department and had written the article only with a view to disseminat- ing useful information, Holds Interview Misrepresented. The conference served also to clear up another misunderstanding between Mr. Wilbur and Admiral Magruder. This had to do with an interview with the admiral printed in the New York Times, in which he was represented as backing up the magazine story with vigorous, even undiplomatic, language. Admiral Magruder filed with the de- partment a statement which was said to state his views more correctly, and this apparently was acceptable fo Sec- retary \Wilbur. = Although the latter declined to make the statement, public, he said later that his understanding was that Magruder had been misrep- resented in the interview. “That interview did not properly represent my position,” the admiral said after the conference. It was ridiculous when it said that I scowled and used gestures, because it was given late at night over the tele- phone.” ~ While apparently this incident, too, is considered closed, Secre Wilbur indicated that the admiral’s interviews with newspaper men will be studied with a view to determining whether any regulations had been violated. He added, however, that Admiral Ma- gruder had assurcd him of his readi- ness to cu-operate with the Navy its policies and had rought the confer- ence in order to make plain that his attitude had not been correctly pic- tured in newspapers. Pleased with Conference. The result of the conference guestionably was pleasing to Admiral Magruder. He announced afterward there was no chance of his being court-martialed as a result of the magazine article because he had vio- lated no regulations, having filed a copy of it with the department. iy article may have been lurid in spots,” he =ald, “but it was funda- mentaliy correct.” Referring to the admiral's charges of too much red tape in the depart- ment, Secretary Wilbur recalled that in July, 1926, he had asked the various departmental chiefs whether there was not an unnecessary amount of correspondence on the conduct of the Navy's business, and that a year later Rear Admiral Plunkett again brought up the subject in a letter through officlal channels. The Secretary said the matter again was called to the attention of the chiefs and that some changes had been made which reduced the amount of work. Scowling Reference Denied. The New York Times, in a state- ment issued at New York, denied that the story it printed contained the ref- ence that the admiral scowled and used gestures” and, “in fact, there was no indication whatever that the interview was not obtained over the telephone.” The Times added that it was not aware of the manner of ob- tainigg the interview at th: time :t was prnuted, disclosing that the stor) came through its alliance with the Philadelphia_Inquirer. “The admiral must have been referring to an inter- view in some other newspaper,” con- cluded the newspaper's statement. The Navy Department will continue its study of Admiral Magruder's criti- cisms, not, however, with a view to inflicting any punishment on the au- thor, but solely for the purpose of avatling itself of anything constructive which they may contalin, it was stated. Members of Congress also are study- ing the article. Despite the fact that the tempest has susided, it is almost certain to be. reflected in the consid- eration of the naval appropriations for 1928 when Congress convenes in De- cember. ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR IS SUED FOR $20,000 ‘Boy Charges Assault and Battery. $25,175 Sought for Injuries Blamed on Car Crash.

Dr. Joe 8. Wooten of Austin was called to the stand by the prosecution in an effort to contradict defense testi- mony that Mrs. Rogers is ‘unbal- anced” and suffering from dementia praecox.

Dr. Wooten tetifled unwillingly. told the court, when called formation given him by Mrs. Rogers in confidence. He said that Mrs. Rogers came to him for examination about January 1, a few weeks after her arrest in connection with the Buda Bank robbery, for which she also is under indictment, which oc- curred the day after the fire at Round Rock.

Defense Allenists Testify. Dr. Livingston Anderson, Austin alienist, told of examining Mrs. Rogers after her arrest. He said he questioned her on statements of Round Rock bankers, who allegd she hurned the house with the apparent intention of distracting their attention to permit robbery of the bank. He declared she showed a serene attitude toward her troubles even ; when asked about a package addressed to herself which contained loot from the Buda Bank and a pistol identified as the one used in the robbery. Dr. Anderson described her allment as dementia praecox, and said she exhibited ‘“delusions of grandeur.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 20— Le Matin claims to have learned that only lack of a suitable successor has delayed the recall of Christian Rakovsky as Soviet Ambassador to France to satisfy French feelings, aroused by his recent action in signing a Com- munist manifesto urging the troops to rise against all capitalistic govern- ments, Several Soviet ambassadors in other countries, asked to change posts with him, have turned a deaf ear, the paper mays, and Foreign Minister Tchitcherin has met with the same re- fusal among Moscow politicians. “So that in the end,” it concludes, ““Tchitcherin will be obliged to choose some obscure, second-rate personage.’” France officially notified the Moscow government last week that Rako sky’s recall was an indispensable col dition to any negotiations for t Franco-Russian non-aggression pact proposed by the Soviets.

T3TH ST, IGNALS PLAN ABANDONED Harland Expects to Have Traffic Lights Program Ready in Few Days. installation of auto- matic trafic signals on Thirteenth street, between E street and Massa- chusetts avenue was eliminated from the traffic-light extension program today by Traffic Director Willlam H. Harland. The removal of this installation, Mr, The proposed Harland explained, done in ac- cordance with a recommendation of the traffic advisory council of the District, which last_ April opposed the placing’ of traffic lights in the con- gested area until a_definite plan of ignal control had heen worked out the pntire section. The potential lack of funds also was a factor, he d, in eliminating the projected Thirteenth street installation. Several other changes in the tenta- tive program of installations also were made to conform with the suggestions of the traffic council which Tuesday night approved Mr. Harland's plan with two exceptions. These changes provide for the installation of an in- dividual light at the intersection of Tywenty-second and Q streets, connect- ing with the Massachusetts avenue lights, instead of a synchronized sys- tem on Twenty-second street from L to Q streets, and halting the proposed installation on K street at Lighteenth street.
