LNDY 1S NVITED * T0 INAUEURATION Chairman Work of G. 0. P. * Committee Is Appointed as Parade Marshal. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was invited ‘ yesterday to participate in the Hoover | inaugural festivities. The inaugural committee matled the fiver a specially embossed invitation. Assistant Postmaster General Glover, executive secretary of the committee, said Lindbergh would stop in Wash- . ington on his return flight from Cen- tral America. It was indicated that the request that he participate in the cere- manies would be personally confirmed as this time. Chairman Hubert C. Work of the Republican national committee is to take an active part in the inaugural, having been designated to serve as marshal of the second division of the inaugural parade, which is to include ell the non-military units, State gov- ernors and citizens who desire to honor the incoming President and Vice Presi- dent, it was announced. Precedent Is Set. Dr. Work has not yet determined whether he will ride a horse, as will the other marshals, or will ride with his staff in an automobile. Heretofore, it has been customary for the chairman of the party coming into power to ride with the President-elect in an auto- mobile or in his immediate escort. The decision of Chairman Work to take | an acvve part in the parade sets a | precedent. i Maj. Gen. Fred W. Sladen, command- ing the 3d Corps Area, is to be marshal | rof the first division of the parade, which | |1z to be composed of military units ex- clusively. liams will be in direct charge of-the Army units. Maj. Gen, Charles P. | Summerall, chief of staff, U. 8. A, is to be grand marshal of the entire Ipnrade. with Brig. Gen. George S. !Simonds as his chief of staff. The first division will be composed of Army units from nearby posts, bluejackets from the navy yard and nearby naval reser- ! vations, and Marines from Quantico. Acting at the request of Chairman |@rant of the inaugural committee, Col. €. B. Robbins, Acting Secretary of War, 'has authorized the use of the corridors in the Munitions Building for the ac- commodation of National Guard units of the various States which are to par- ticipate in the inaugural parade. The jauthorization follows the practice of using public buildings in Washington +for a similar purpose when large bodies of civilian soldiers have come to the Capital from all parts of the country to march in presidential inaugurations.

RING TRUE AS HOOVER AND PARTY ARE HONORED President Ayora Repudiates “American Imperialism” Myth in Speech. GREAT BANQUET HELD {Grand Ball Follows Elaborate State Feast, With Hun- dreds Present. Note—Greater light and clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded Jor the United States, are to be gained from the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. “We know that your foreign policy will be founded on scrupulous respect for _the rights of all countries.” With this emphatic expression of confidence, Dr. Isidor Ayora, President of the Republic of Ecuador, in one stroke, paid a personal tribute to the American President-elect, repudiated the myth about “American imperialism" and demonstrated that his government and his people have implicit faith in Uncle Sam. party feel that her expressions of friendship were not mere empty phrases. There was a ring of truth about them Brig. Gen. Herbert O. Wil- | that bespoke sincerity, and there were | added touches in the “abrazos” and the lavish shower of gifts that left no doubt that Ecuador meant it. Dr. Ayora’s declaration climaxed-the elaborate state banquet tendered the good-will mission in picturesque Guay- aquil. Some 200 guests, all in full eve- ning dress rather than dinner coats, were seated at the long tables which had been set up in the rooms of the Club Metropolitano. All of the Ayora cabinet, many diplomats, high army cfficers in resplendent uniforms, mem- bers of the foreign colony and the en- tire good-will party had been invited. Saxophone in Place of Honor. In one corner on a raised platform was an orchestra which now and then broke into a lively North American dance tune, such as “My Blue Heaven” (designated on the menu card as “Mi Cielo Azul")., The inevitable “Ra- mona” had to be included, as the song just then was enjoying a wave of popularity in South America. The or- chestra managed. to do very well with- out the trap drums held so essential in North American orchestral circles, ll::t the saxophone was given a place of nor. The South American may skimp at breakfast and eat lightly in the after- noon, but he demands a real feast in the evening. In the morning, he is satisfied to nibble a piece of toast or French roll and partake of a cup of strong coffee weakened with hot milk. At midday, he is-content with a cock- tail and some sandwiches. For “comida,” however, he must have a full-course Tepast, from soup to fruits. Americans Are Feasted. President and Senora Ayora feasted their American guests with the bounties After the usual soup fruit. Topping off everything was an assortment of French and South Ameri- can wines. ‘When the last course had been served, Dr. Ayora signaled for quiet and de- livered his brief address of greeting to theml’ruldanc-elect of the United rnal ofci an t] friendship, it b policy will founded on scrupulous respect for the rights of all countries, on the acknow] ent of an absolute juridical equality between all states and the effective proclamation of um;latl}‘nlned Sovereignty of justice and In responding to the frank statement of good will, Mr. Hoover declared the United States stands ready at all times to demonstrate its esteem for its sister :-’ee;:bllu o': the South.

Before leaving for the Cleveland, the President-elect invited Dr. and Senora Ayora to accompany the party on the cruiser trip back to the Maryland and have lunch the next day on the good will battleship. The invitation was accepted readily. Some of the Americans remained at the ball until the sky was streaked with the colors of dawn, while others spent a somewhat restless night in their hotel rooms. All had been warned to be aboard the Cleveland by 6 o'clock the next morning. One newspaperman was awakened only by the booming of the cruiser’s’ farewell salute and he reached the vessel just in time, after a hectic dash to the shore, where he had hired a speedboat to take him out to the Ecuador Says It With Gifts. ‘The deck of the American cruiser re- sembled that of a merchant vessel when the party bade good-by to Guayaquil.

There were rare Indian rugs, 8 number of Inca relics dating back to the days when Quito was the northern capital of Inca-governed tribes, articles fash- ioned from the hides of alligators from the Guayas River, various pieces of jew- elry, including a necklace of native pearls for Mrs. Hoover, and wonderful examples of native handiwork, from linen to pottery. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover appeared on deck in Ecuadorian “panamas,” a large number of which also had been given to other members of the mission. The hats were of the finest weave and were valued at $100 each. Ecuador has put Panama in the background in the straw hat trade, it was explained, some of the best examples of the hat-weaving art originating in a little community not far from Quayaquil, Weeks are re- quired to complete one of the somb: but each was guaranteed to remain in good condition for years. Members of the party were advised to clean their hats with soap and water only, and to avold “ruining” the weave by pasting the hatbands in rather than sewing them. Portrait of Bolivar Presented.

The picture was framed in gold. 2 Transfering the gifts from the Cleve- land to the Maryland was a difficult task, requiring the use of giant cranes and the services of many saflors. The bananas presented a particularly vex- ing problem, as the bunches were not tied together, and each of the 500 bunches was a load for one man. Mr. Hoover solved the problem very neatly, however, He sent word to the crew that they could have the entire lot providing they brought them aboard the battleship in their own way. The re- sponse was immediate and overwhelm- ing, and all fruit-loading records were saild to have tumbled in the ensuing scramble. For weeks thereafter bunches of the fruit hung from various parts of the ship, seldom touched by the banana-surfeited sailors. Dr. Ayora manifested deep interest in the intricate equipment of a battle- ship, and Mr. Hoover and Capt. Kim- berly escorted him all over the big vessel. Ayora Interested in Sick Bay. ‘The tour of inspection led to the sick bay, or ship’s hospital, where the medi- cal instincts of the Ecuadorian executive caused him to inquire about all phases of Navy medical practice. Noticing a patient who seemed to be suffering with some grave ailment, Ayora turned to Comdr. Lane, senior medical officer of the Maryland, and asked the nature of the sailor’s afflic- tion. “He is a member of the crew of the Cleveland who was stricken with an abdominal attack and whose condition is so serious that we fear an operation will be necessary,” Comdr. Lane ex- plained. Dr. Ayora, more curious than ever, asked for full details of the history of the case, and when they had been given to him, he ventured the professional opinion that the man was suffering from an abdominal obstruction. “That’s exactly the way we diag- nosed it!” Dr. Lane rejoined, well pleased that his opinion had been cor- roborated by so noted a surgeon as President Ayora. From his attitude it was plain that with all his attainments as an adminis- trator and statesman, Dr. Ayora never will lose his interest in the medical pro- fession. It was with real reluctance that President and Mrs. Ayora parted com- pany with the American President-elect and his wife. Dr. Ayora bestowed a final embrace on Mr. Hoover before tak- ing leave and then, between lines of sailors at attention, the Ecuadorian ests walked to the gangway and arded a barge which was to take them back to the Cleveland. | The Maryland hoisted anchor at once and was off for historic Peru—land of Dr. | the Incas and of the conquistadores. (Copyright, 1929, by The Evening Star) SMOOT FOR HIGHER TARIFF ON CROPS Back From Miami, He Op- poses General Revision. Doubts Cates’ Selection. By the Assoclated Press. Returning yesterday from a visit with Herbert Hoover in Florida Senator Smoot of Utah said he expected an ex- tra session of the new Congress to be called early in April and to be limited to tariff revision and farm relief. ‘The Senator, chairman of the finance committee which will handle the tariff in the Senate, urged that the tariff re- vision be confined to agricultural prod- ucts and a scattering of other commod- ities which may need protection. He announced firmly against general re- vision. The entire scale of agricultural prod- juets could well stand increases in tar- | iff rates, the Utah senator believed. He also thought that the finer grades of cotton and yarns 8eserved greater pro- tection and he said the sugar duties would be increased. Little Dope on Cabinet. The Senator, however, brought back very little gossip about the all-absorbing topic worrying Washington—who will comprise the Hoover cabinet. He ex- pressed doubt that one of his friends, Lewis S. Cates of Utah, would be inamed to the cabinet, but he gave no intimation of who would. Cates had been mentioned as Secre- tery of Interior. Smoot indicated the President-elect still has several names junder consideration for that post. He, however, did believe Mr. Hoover had in imind to take advantage in some way of the engineering skill of the Utah man. As for the other cabinet jobs, the Senator said he was not at liberty to talk, but he did not think that definite decisions had been reached. The extra session, in the opinion of Senator Smoot, can be concluded by July. T Expects Entirely New Aet. No attempt will be made by the Sen- ate finance committee to dip into the tarifft question until the House has passed a bill. He believed the bill would be in the form of an entire new tariff act, but he did not think that general revision was in order. Certainly he will oppose general re- vision, Smoot said, but he recalled that there is no way of limiting the Senate to consideration of any specified items in the tariff act and that all of them may be subjected to revision when the bill comes up on the floor. He said he would oppose such changes, While he indorsed general upward revision of the rates on agricultural commodities, he warned that “there is no use talking of a $1 a bushel duty on wheat and a tripling of the rates on eggs.” He brought home no ideas about the farm relief question, which will be intrusted to the cares of the agriculture committee. If Mr. Hoover has a definite farm relief program he did not know about it. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY Exercises Tonight Under Auspices Hoover-Curtis Club—Tuesday Night Under G. A. R. RED GROSS READY Relief Committee of Chapter Is Reorganized—Hospital Facilities Surveyed. Constant preparedness is to be the watchword of the District Chapter of the American Red Cross, which has completed a reorganization of its dis- aster relief committee planned to keep the local chapter on a permaneat effi- clency footing to answer any emer- gency call. A thorough survey has been made of hospital accommodations in the Dis- trict available in time of disaster or emergency, as well as the number of ambulances. Some idea of the.equip- ment of local hospitals may be seen from the fact that they have reported to the Red Cross the possibill'y of ex- pansion at such times as follows: Georgetown University Hospital, 45 beds; Garfield Hospital, 20 beds; Sibley, 10 beds; Children’s, 25 beds; George Washington, 20 beds; Providence, 15 beds; Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat, 25 beds. At Government lMospitals, which cannot allocate any beds, nurses and physicians will be placed at the chapter’s call. ‘The available number of ambulances was said to be as follows: District of Columbia Chapter of the Red Cross, 2; Neval Hospital, 2; Walter Reed Hos- pital, 5; Fort Myer, 1; Washington Bar- racks, 1; navy yard, 1; Board of Public Health, 4. Two ambulances will be made available at the Soldiers’ Home and three trucks, accompanied by first-aid orderlies. Each of the follow- ing undertaking establishments has ed up to furnish ambulances: W. W. bers Co., 8. H. Hines Co., Martin W. Hysong Co., Joseph Gawlers & Son, V. L. Speare and John R. Wright Co. ‘The chapter always will keep on hand an “emergency closet” filled with neces- sary equipment, and in any disaster va- rious relief units will be called into serv- ice by their chairmen as follows: Res- cue squad, first aid and life saving, | Commodore W.

With respect to two of them, the commission wrote that they would not affect the present law greatly. The three others the commis- sion agreed to in principle, but sub- mitted its own amendments as substi- tutes to carry out what it believed was the intent of the amendments in ques- tion. Already Covered by Law. ‘The amendments in which the com- mission evinced little interest, as the subject was already covered by existing law, provide for retirement of property of public utilities which is unsafe, ob- solete, or not reasonably necessary for the purposes of the utility, and would authorize the commission to exclude from the operating expenses of the util- ity illegal, improper, excessive, or un- reasonable expenses. Another proposed amendment would have required the utilities to furnish the commission with copies of all contracts entered into with persons or corpora- tions owning 10 per cent or more of any class of its securities. The commission held that such copies can be called for now and that the amendment would probably have the effect of limiting it to the investigation of contracts with own- ers of more than 10 per cent of the util- ity’s stock. It suggested that the 10 per cent be stricken out, and that if the amendment were retained it should authorize investigation into all contracts with any person or corporation owning any of the utility’s stock. Valuation Cases. The Jast two amendments would em- power the col on to charge the cost of any court proceeding, arising out of a valuation case, against the utility affected. The commission said that at present the court cases are carried on by the corporation counsel and the peo- ple’s counsel without expense to the commission, but that difficulty is en. countered in employing expert wi nesses and valuation engineers, by re: son of the fact that their compensation is limited by the classification act to salaries too small to attract competent men. The commission suggested an amend- ment exempting such employes from the scope of the classification act. e Highway Across Canal Zone. A survey has been commenced with the object of laying out a route for a proposed road across the Canal Zone, which will be known as the Trans- isthmian Highway.

LEGION POSTS PLAN MEMBERSHIP DRIVE District Organizations Will Open Campaign February 15 Under Comdr. Harlan Wood. Under the direction of Departmental mdr. Harlan Wood, the Ameri-~ can Legion posts in the District are inaugurating an intensive membership drive from February 15 to March 2, the purpose being to enroll every available ex-service man who is not now a mem- ber of a local post, “The department of the District of Columbia,” said Comdr. “‘con= scious of the responsibilities which rest upon it as a unit of the Leglon, is convinced of the value and Hecessity of enrolling. in the American Legion every veteran of the World War, The District of ;Columbia gave in ex- cess of 20,000 men and women to the service during the war. The support of every one of these veterans is needed.” Organized May 19,1919, the District of Columbia department now has 23 posts and 8 au: units. Member- .!hlr in the latter is limited to the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of members of the American Legion, or of any service man who died in ling of duty during or after the war and to those women who of their own right are cligible to membership in the Legion. The Legion is desirous of increasing its membership, Comdr. Wood says, be- cause of the existing need of “zealously guarding the interests of the men and women whose, service in the war has burdened them with physical or mental handicaps and also in the work of ameliorating the distress of the widows .and orphans of the men who died in sing | military service.” Somerset House 1801 16th St. N.W.
