CAWP LETTS BOYS ROE 007 STORMS Y. M. C. A. Institution Pro- gressing Despite Handicaps of Heavy Rains. Special Dispateh to The Star CAMP LETTS. Md., June 29.—Emerg- ng safely through storm hazards of the last few 4ays, 50 Washington boys encamped in this “Summer paradise’ conducted by the boys' department of the Washington Y. M. C. A. today were near the halfway point in their two- week vacation in the out-of-doors. Torrential rains and threatening thunderstorms interrupted camp rou- tine on numerous occasions this week, but_little damage was done, beyond washed-out ditches and playing fields. Building Golf Course. Despite the weather, the boys made good progress in constructing a six-hole g0l course on the campus of the 217- acre peninsula on which the camp is situated. This is an enterprise spon- sored by the boys themselves, under the direction of Arthur G. Baker, camp director, and James C. Ingram, !!n-’ eral supervisor. Another. group of young woodsmen is building a hut in the woods near the shore. A A special feature of the camp this year is a menagerie tent, in which are being rounded up all manner of rep- tilian and entomological ~specimens, from bugs to snakes and lizards. The boys are anxious to display their finds to their sisters and mothers when they visit camp tomorrow, for the first time | this season. Sunday is visiting day. The tent is in charge of Willlam K. | Cooper, jr., nature study leader. Success at Crabbing. ‘The boys have had great success at erabbing, and climax their catches by prevailing on the chef to stage a crab feast. The crabbing expeditions are made in the new camp boats, which combine sail and motive power. Of course, swimming is the most pop- ular sport, and three swim periods daily are provided, under supervision of Red Cross life savers. Instruction in first aid and life saving is given.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 29.—China will insist “on early and full abandonment" | Nationalist government, said yesterday in a statement issued through the of- 1 general here. The statement contained an intim: | tion that China will act shortly in the | matter of making & néw treaty with the United States. | 'Dr. Wang arrived here from Nan- {king on Thursday and planned to de- {part soon to attend the annual session jof the World Court at The RUMANIA 3 TIVES LARGER SCE WaR i Bloodless Revolution Gives Peasants 8,402,240 Acres of Land. Two hundred thousand Rumanians | who met at Alba Julia to celebrate the tenth birthday of greater Rumania also | celebrated a bloodiess revolution. | Ten years have seen the distribu- tion of 8402240 acres of land to 1,475,751 peasants. Before the war Rumania was a coun- try of the landed rich and the landless poor. Today the maximum holding per- mitted to one individual is 1,235 acres. King and nobles gave up their estate: to fulfill the demands of the agrarian reform. Not a Shot Fired. ‘Ten years of transition in Rumanis are traced in a bullet:n of the National Geographic Society from its heacdguar. ters here. What Russia, Mexico and other countries have done in the matter of land distribution at the cost of many lives and much money Rumania ac- complished without a shot,” continu:s the bulletin. “But reform was not without cost. Uncertainties, lack of organization to | meet new conditions and lack of trans- { portation facilities increased the cost of borrowed money to 12 and 14 per cent. Credit is tight in a country where all the money in circulation must pass through the national treasury as taxes three times per year. “Greater Rumania is nearly three times as large 2s pre-war Rumania. The new nation took in Transylvania, the Banat, Bucovina and Bessarabia and has yet to digest them. Old Ru- mania was the size of England. Greater Rumania is larger than England adding- to itself Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Like the units of Great Britain each is different; Bessarabia is an extension of the Russian black earth prairie; Bu- covina, a forested region; Transyivania an upland notable for industries as well as agriculture; the Banat a lowland. “After the war Rumania saw visions of an industrial future. The country has ample resources; oil, water power, wood ore, and a good labor supply. Ten years have dimmed the vision but have not wiped it out. Eight out of ten Ru- manians still are farmers, so the nation has decided to make a good job of farm- ing before turning to industry. Co-oper- atives have been organized. ~ Groups of peasants find they can afford to buy American farm machinery. A grain grading law was passed in 1928. Silk culture starting from nothing has in- creased to an enterprise enlisting 4,000 workers and $18,000,000 capital. Mush and Sunflowers. “Since the World War Rumanians have turned definitely from wheat to American corn. Greater acreage is planted in corn than wheat. Corn mush displaces bread as a national food. Bes- sarabia looks like Kansas. But last year a second drought hit the country. The corn crop was & failure and Ruma nia, a country which has exported cereals for years, had to import corn. The government acted to forestall famine in some regions. “The similarity of parts of Rumania to Kansas extends to sunflowers, for which both regions are famou In Rumania sunflowers are a standard crop; 394,355 1cres were planted in sunflowers last year. OIll pressed from sunflower seeds serves as a constituent of I;l:)turrsubagwtes, “Four fcundation stones support life in Rumania; cereals, oil, lumr and livestock. Production of oil and lumber has progressed vigorously, not enough, however, to offset losses in cereals and livestock, “Companies of many nations, includ- ing the United States, are working Ru- manian ofl wells near Ploesti, north- west of Bucharest. They have in- creased production until the 4,265,194 metric tons of oil produced last season made 1928 the biggest year. Rumania stands sixth, supplying 2.4 of the world production, although Rumanian ofl represents 13 per cent of the increase in world production. “Rumanian oil is found mixed with sand as fine as flcur. A powerful flow will cut steel easings like so much cheese. One new well bored a hole through a three-ton iron cap with the ease of a high-grade drill. Because the sand ruins pumping machinery the oil is lifted to the surface in long buckets. Probably they are the world’s longest buckets; “some of them stand five stories high and bring up a number of barrels each time. An American company seems to have clinched a { 83,000,000 contract for a new pipe-line | to carry the oil from Ploesti to the Dl;mbe. across the Cerna {and across Dobrudja to the seaport of | Constanza, 500 mtl’e.& o Buy American Goods. “Despite the depression, and lack of roads, sales of automobiles, most of them American, continue to increase. Last year 12,000 were sold—a record. Many of them go to the ofl fields where they permit the engineers in charge of outlying wells to get to Ploesti occa- sionally for the enjoymentgof compan- lonship in the International Club. “Automobiles are the biggest item of American imports, which include acces- sorles, films, oil field equipment, radios, phonographs and records, engines, in- secticides and electric refrigerators to the amount of $12,000,000. Walnuts and fur skins are Rumania’s chief exports to the United States. “Dr. Maniu, the new premier of Ru- mania, has served under two govern=- ments. He was a member of the Hun- garian Diet before the war. In the last part of 1928 he accepted the premier- ship of Rumania. “Among_the improvements to which Rumania looks forward is the reclama- tion of vast areas of swamp land. Seven thousand square miles of marsh will afford ample land for the remaining landless peasants, numbering about 600,000. . “The nation has its own national church, the Orthodox Eastern Church. gthn heoh“mhn have n'\;.memu‘:! mgm- s, however, among them tI - tarian Church.” .

RICHMOND, Va., June 29.—Gov. Harry F. Byrd, in a formal statement Jast night, charged Henry W. Ander- son with gross misrepresentation of facts in his attack on the administra- tion’s taxation policy in his keynote address to the Virginia Republican convention. ‘The governor termed Mr. Anderson’ criticism of the State judiclary “an astonishing exhibition of reckless par- tisanship,” defended Virginia elections @s fair and honest ansd declared that # victory for the Republican-anti-Smith coalition this year would mean a straight Republican label for candidates succeeding elections. jod “I would not feel called upon,” the governor sald, “to reply to any general indictment, however vindictive.” Error of $40,000,000. ! Gov. Byrd charged that Mr. Ander-i son made an error of $40,000,000 in his calculation of the expenditure of tax money during his administration, -and cited statistics designed to refute the claims of the keynoter that the Byrd | administration has been marked by in- efficiency, and extravagance in govern- i mental expenditure. The Democratic party, Gov. Byrd { sald, “does not deny that the total Te- | ceipts from taxation have Increased, as | they have increased in every developing | State. Of course, the increased wealth |of Virginia thereby increases our tax {income and this enables the State to educate better the children in the lecs prosperous sections, to build roads and otherwise lmprovehlfilving conditions of r le everywhere.” wfifi?\mue;’ revenue to the State, the governor said, “even after tax re- ductions, is due first to the equaliza- tion of taxation by compeling all to pay a just share. Twenty-three thou- sand delinquent income taxpayers were ssessed in 1926 alone. Second, the attraction of new th and new resi- | dents to Virginia, and third, to thel | increased tax returm from increasing | prosperity.” { Inheritance Tax. © ;ying to the contention of Mr. Anderson that the State law now pro- i vides that “no person can be assessed | in excess of $4,000.000 inheritance tax, the governor pointed out that this law was rendered inoperative in 1926. In criticizing the Byrd reorganization program the Virginia executive charged that Mr. Anderson censures his own colleague, Robert H. Angell, chairman of the Republican State committee. “Mr. Angell,” he said, “was a member of the citizens' efficiency committee and signed the report, spoke before the com- mittee_of the General Assembly, and every Republican member of the Gen- eral Assembly voted in favor of the reorganization bill. It is not necessary to introduce Democratic witnesses to testify in favor of our reorganization Togram. | In closing his statement, Gov. Byrd declared that “it has now been near- ly half a century since the Democratic party redeemed Virginia from Repub- lican corruption and oppression. In all this long period successive Democratic administrations have handled the peo ple’s money honestly. Not one dollar has been stolen, a record ’l’lflf!\n‘ when contrasted with that of the ad- ministration of many other States, ad- ministrations of National Government with which Col. Anderson is more familiar and with which he has been in ’c.oser touch than he is with Vir- ginia.” INSURANCE MEN ELECT OFFICERS T. Garnett Tabb of Richmond Is, Chosen Head of Virginia Association.
