S. LABOR | IS REPORTED PLANNED i Raskob Said to Have Proposed Chairman of In- Coolidge vestment Trust. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 6.—The Evening Post says today it has learned that John J. Raskob, Democratic leader and former- chairman of the finance com- mittee of General Motors Corporation, has been with financiers a new type of corporation, combining the features of an investment trust and in- surance company for the of | helping American workers to accumu- late wealth. It was reported, said the newspaper, that Calvin Coolidge might be asked to loin the corporatiorf and that Mr. Ras- ob had sounded out persons on the political effects of Having Mr. Coolidge as_chairman of the board. ‘While primarily an investment trust, the proposed corporation’s certificates would be sold to workers under a plan analagous to insurance savings invested in this way would represent equities in American industries and, it is believed, would bring a larger return than if in- ‘vested in fixed-income securities. Such an investment -trust was described as a potential safeguard - against stock | swindling. - - e POWER TRUST PAPERS ASKED FOR STATEMENTS | Benate Passes Resolution Asking| Postmaster General to Call | for Information. ‘The Senate today adopted a resolu- tion asking the Postmaster General to submit the last statements of owner- ship filed by newspapers in which the | International Paper & Power Co. owns stock. Three bills which he said were de- signed “to eurb the purchase and pub- lication of newspapers by power trusts” were introduced today by Representa- tive La Guardia, Republican, of New York. One of the measures would provide that newspapers must announce *“own- ership and interest” in their mastheads, while another would require articles in any way referring to the business of the owners be marked as advertisement. A third bill would prevent “deduc- tions from taxes for losses incurred by reason of ownership and publication” of a periodical. FOR TOMORROW.

It appeared likely that 161 or 162 would “be good enough to qualify by the end of the second test round to- morrow. This left two of the foremost American ~aces, Gene ~Sarazen and Johnny Farrell, the United States open champion, on the border line. Abe - Mitchell, long-driving British star, who was erroneously reported to nave scored a 65, actually carded 75. This put him in a tie with Walter Archie Compston, Aubrey Boomer and Cyril Tolley, the former British amateur champion. The best score of the early finishers over the Muirfleld course was a 75 scored by Archie Compston. George Von Elm and Bobby Cruickshank, with 73s at Gullane, had been tied for the early lead. Sarazen finished with a score of 81. Farrell Is Shaky. Johnny Farrell, the open champion, took an 82. Farrell had & 9 on his card. After going out in a fair 39, Farrell was shaky coming home and finally ruined his score with a 9 at the seven- sary for the visiting champion to turn in a sparkling round tomorrow to avoid danger of failing to qualify. Although four over fours at the sixteenth, Farrell needed only a 5 and a 4 to score 77, which would have been safe enough in all probability. In- At the seventeenth, he sent a brassie deep in a cross bunker. The ball was so buried that it was unplayable. so the open champion of the United States went back and played another, losing stroke and distance. This shot went into another bunker and he then pitched to the green and took three putts.

Aubrey Boomer was around with a conservative 75 over the Cullane course, Tommy Armour, former open cham | plon of the United States, called on his Scotch background to aid him in op- posing the weather and turned in a score of 7. Arnaud Massey, French professional, scored 178. Horton Smith “played his first 18 holes of the qualifying tests in 78 strokes, while Al Espinosa, another American professional threat, took 80.

Mexican Gambling King, Not Supposed to Be Here, Can’t i Leave Country. By the Assoclated Press. ‘ NEW YORK, *fay 6.—Salvador Ateca, | “gambling king” of Juarez and rebel | sympathizer, under arrest here, today |is in the paradoxical position of a man | who 15 supposed neither to remain in this' country nor leave it. As an inadmissable alien, he was allowed to enter the country at El Paso only in order that he might be volun- tarily deported to his native country, Spain. Arrested as Fugitive. At Kansas City he was arrested for violation of American neutrality, charged with running arms into Mexico for the rebels. His departure from Kansas City while at liberty under $5,000 bail subjected him to arrest as a fugitive from justice. He was arrested in the Hotel McAlpin Saturday with his secretary, Antonio | Gomez Maquero; H. W. Fryer, El Paso attorney, and Russell B. Matthews, assistant commissioner of immigration at El Paso. A traveling bag containing $750,000 in money and securities was seized when the four were arrested. They are held on a charge of con- spiring to ald Ateca, supposedly a fugutive from justice, in attempting to leave the country. 3 Matthews said he had accompanied Ateca from El Paso to see to his depor- tation. Fryer describod imse as | Ateca’s attorney. The two- Americans were released on bail. Ateca and his secretary were held in custadly.

WU Extraterritoriality Right No Longer Is Adaptable to Conditions, It Says. | By the Associated Press. ‘The text of a note from the Chlnesr: Nationalist government looking toward | abolition of American extraterritorial rights in China, which was presented | to Secretary Stimson last weck. was made public by Dr, C. C. Wu, the| Chinese Minister. The note pointed out that requests for removal of these foreign rights had been made at the Paris peace confer- ence and later at the Washington arms conference. The latter conference, it said, “placed on record its sympathetic disposition toward furthering the as- piration of China for the removal of | restrictions on her political jurisdic- | tional and administrative frecdom of | action.” New Era of Relations Cited. It added that the unification of China | | and the placing of the national govern- | ment upon a firm basis had brought | about “a new era” in the relations be- tween the United States and that coun- «ry through the conclusion of the re- cent tariff treaty. “But,” it continued, “it is the bcllcf( and the conviction of the Chinese gov- ernment that the promotion of such | material well-being will be accelerated | by a readjustment of the relations be- | tween our two countries on a basis of | friendly equality in matters of juris- diction, and if the American Govern- | ment . 'could see its way to meet| the wishes of the Chinse govern- | ment and people in this regard, it is| certain that another obstacle to the | full and frank co-operation. in trade | or otherwise, between the Chinese peo- ple and foreign nationals in this coun- try would be happily removed.” Jurisprudence Is Reformed. Extraterritoriality, the note contend- ed, had ceased to be adaptable to pres- ent conditions. It added that the close contact between China and the foreign | powers had brought a rapid assimilation | by Chinese jurists of the Western con- ceptions of law and they had been in- | corporated rapidly in Chinese jurispru- | dence. | ‘The Chinese government pointed oul that certain - countries having cease to enjoy extraterritorial privileges in | Chinese law and have had no cause protection given to their nationals by | Chinese laws an dhave had no couse | for complaint that their interests have been in any way prejudiced. “The American Government, there- fore, may rest assured that the legiti- | mate rights and interests of American citizens in China will not be unfav ably affected in the least by the re- linquishment of the extraterritorial privileges which they now possess.” | | | | | REPARATIONS PLAN TO EXPERTS TODAY | (Continued From First Page.) to the amount proposed in the allied memorandum. It also was sald in the press that France did not ask for the conference, but accepted it as one step in apply- ing the “spirit of Locarno” to Franco- German relations. Another step was to be the anticipated evacuation of the Rhineland, and it was supposed in France that in the reparations settle- ment would be found compensation for the final early liberation of German territory from occupation. Part of the press is quite bitter over the present situation, in which France sees nothing llke the advantages hoped for, but is asked to make sacrifices on her claims against Germany while giving up the last hold she has on the Reich by leaving the Rhine. It is assumed by the Paris press that | Mr. Young's proposal has the approval of the British and the question is asked, Which of the allles is going to make the necessary reduction in their de- mands? The creditors of Germany never came to full agreement as to who would be the sharers of the sacrifices made in the original demands placed before the experts and the question now is, How are they going to come to a compromise on a problem made further difficult by the new figures? Demand Guarantee, The principal of the conditions made by Germany with reference to the new | figures is a demand for a guarantee against the transfers of money in case | they are likely to derange German ex- | change such as exists under the Dawes lan. The reich experts also demand | that security for payments on repara- tions shall be a strictly government affair and that the present llen under the Dawes plan on German railroads to an amount of 11,000,000,000 gold marks and on industrial enterprises for 5,000,000,000 marks shall be abolished. It is also proposed in this scheme that the annuities suggested by Mr. Young, which are supposed to average 2,500,- 000,000 marks & year (about $576,000,- 000) for 37 years, shall cover all the costs of the military occupation of the Rhineland, the expenses of the repara- tions commission and all subsidiary claims growing out of the war, except- ing the redemption of paper marks forced upon Belgium, which will be sub- ject to special negotiations. ‘The annuities, beginning at some- thing like 1,650,000,000 marks (about $396,000,000), increase each year by 25,000,000 marks, reaching 1,900,000,000 (about $456,000,000) the tenth year. These payments, acording to the German conditions, would run for only 37 years, while the allled demand 58 annuities. The last 21 of these annuities would be paid out of the profits of the Inter- national Bank. The question arises here, the French say, how can the; Germans claim to benefit from those profits to liquidate their debt, since those profits are supposed to be derived from handling reparations money that be- longs to the creditors. Some Sort of Settlement. There circles close some sort of evolved. The settlement, if it materializes, will come hard and not without con- | siderable persuasion and perhaps tact- ful pressure, but the belief was grow- ing that the plan tentatively accepted Saturday by Dr. Hialmar Schacht, Ger- man spokesman, from Owen D. Young represented the American financial | world. Neither France nor Belglum, upon which the final decision of acceptance or rejection seemed today to rest, are desirous, it was pointed out, of antag- onizing the American moneyed inter- | ests. The actual figures of Mr. Young's proposals to Dr. Schacht— tentatively | agreed to also by Great Britain and | Japan—have not been made available and estimates here calculated the re- duction in payments to France which | they involve at from 7.000,000,000 to 15,000,000,000 francs ($280,000,000 to $600,000,000 present value). The request for this concession has become the object of increasing attack | from those who feel France has already conceded more than her share. It is pointedly asked everywhere why the United States does not do a little re- | ducing in claims itself.

More than 300 people -witnessed the | placing of a wreath on the Tomb of the | Unknown Soldier by Mrs. Marrs of Texas, president of the organization. yesterday afternoon at Ariington. The | ceremony was to include the United| States Marine Band. and to be broad- | cast from the Arlington Amphitheate Owing to rains in the morning, it be-| came impossible for the Marine Band to | take the instruments to Arlington and | at the invitation of the Hotel Wask ington, the earlier part of the ceremo; was held and. broadcast from the hail | of nations, with the Marine Band par- | ticipating and Right Rev. James E.| Freeman, Bishop of Washington, as the | principal speaker. | The placing of the wreath was pre- ceded by a short address by Mrs. Marrs, | who expressed the desire of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers to | perpetuate the ideals of the great war She was assisted in the placing of the wreath by Mrs. Glles Scotl Ralter, president of the District congress. A prayer for peace and international u derstanding in the future was made by Dr. Randail J. Condon of Cincinnati, | as chaplain of the congress. A detach- ment of cadets selected as representa- tives from the several Washington high | schools, mounted guard over the Tomb | during the ceremony. Students_from _the high school at Highland Falls, Mich, also placed & wreath on_the tomb. “Not only is parent education being | pursued as never before, but adult edu- | cation in every form,” Mrs. Marrs sald “The idle and parasitic class is giving way to & serious-minded, studious class. alive to its responsibilities to the nes generation and to society. In this new field of adult education the congress as been ploughing for more than 30 ears. It has been creating a new pub- lic attitude toward the home which is more and more expressing itself in a demand for specific training in family | relationships, in child care and in home- | making.” Disruptive Force Active, Warning. But with all that advancement, Mrs. Marrs warned that “the fact that there | are powerful influences at work to break down the home only serves to redouble our efforts to strengthen and re- indorse it. “It will take hard thinking, hard study of educational methods,” she | added, “and careful organization to| bring up future generations with such | standards and ideals of life that they shall be prepared to establish homes capable of meeting worthily the social | and economic changes which come with | each generation. But it is worth the effort, for the home is the foundation of our Nation's life and if the home | fails the Nation fails. “My wish is that this convention will establish high principles and educa- tionally sound procedures which we may adopt and follow during the com- ing year as we work to bring back to the home the things of the home, to articulate the home with the school and | to adapt the home to the changing con- ditions of life.” Dr. Butterworth Is Speaker. Dr. Butterworth, who addressed the | delegates’ conference on “Programs for Parent-Teacher Associations,” pointed | out the most important fact to bear in | mind in planning for work is that “all human activities start with a realiza- tion that there is a need to be met.” . Discussing extra-curriculum activities, the speaker said that this is a phase of school life that calls for handling by & highly trained specialist, one who could apply himself wholly to the problems at hand with a clear understanding of | all they involve to the schools as well | as the pupils, It was in this connec- tion that he warned the congress it | would be “very dangerous” for a Par- | ent-Teacher association to try to sup- plant the school board in dealing with | such problems as a whole. One other point he dealt with was the difficulty in getting “the best people of the community” to take an active part in_school activities. Mrs. Hugh Bradford, third vice pres- | ident, who spoke on other phases of program planning, said that the Na- | tional Congress, instead of aiming to be | a reform organization, is dealing with preventive matters in handling the problems of child, school and home. Sectional Meetings Today. This afternoon the convention wiil break up into sections and State meet- ings devoted to pre-school associations, | high school associations, college and church relations.

Lf the convicted man’s attorneys fail to produce their client within a reason- able length of time, the marshal wil direct one of his deputies to arrest Sin- clair and bring him to jail. Day of Grace Often Granted. There was no likelihood that com- pulsion would be necessary, however. Hoover, Sinclair's legal representative here, and Martin W. Littleton, his New York attorney, have made it plain that they will produce their client whenever | the Government desires him. A “day of grace” often is permitted those about to enter jail to make final disposition of . their private affairs. Since the red tape involved in securing Sinclair's commitment to the District jail was not expected to be unwound before late this afternoon, it seemed improbable that the ofl man would be | able to reach Washington in time for | commitment today.

The Navy No. 1 was reported down in the vicinity of Montreal, Canada, word had been received from the crew of the bag. Failing to hear from the Navy pilot, Lieut. T. G. W.

Sinclair, today declined to | in this case, it is now here ordered by; comment on the Washington announce- ment that the oil magnate would not be present in the District of Columbia Supreme Court when the United States Supreme Court mandate ordering his commitment to jail is received. Mr. Littleton said he would have no comment to make regarding any phase of the court proceedings or commitment. He refused to say where Mr. Sinclair was at the present time. The opinion prevailed, however, in well informed quarters, that Mr. Sinclair already was in Washington or nearby.

Company officials reported the forces in these two departments were virtually | complete. Reopening of the various other departments was planned gradu- | ally, officials explaining that the greater | part of the 5,500 idle workers could not | be used until the mechanical and chem- ical processes start. Some fist fights between strike pickets and workers were reported, but no serious disorders occurred. About 200 pickets marched back and forth in front of the huge textile plants.
