| - ELECTSGUERRERD| FOR OHIO RACES - Sessions Expected to Make ' History Are Opened in Geneva. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 2.—Electing a Latin American statesman, Dr. J. Gus; tavo Guerrero of the R¥public of Sal- __“‘fl‘"’- as president, the tenth assembly ©of the League of Nations today began sessions which are expected to be his- torie. Fifty-three of the 54 nations which are members of the League, are repre- sented as the assembly, Argentina being the only country without a delegation. Six premiers, 22 foreign ministers, 4 ex-premiers and 15 ex-foreign ministers participated in the impressive opening of the League Assembly. Seven woman delegates testified that womanhood is playing a growing role in international politics. There were two women pres- ent from England, and one each from Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Rumania. . ‘Woman Delegates Applauded. The woman delegates were applauded when Prince Foroughi of Persia, tem- porary presiding officer, striking the keynote of the assembly, declared: “The League is creating the habit of peace.” The new president, Dr. Guerrero, said the League of Nations was an immense achievement for overcoming prejudices and settling disputes among nations and consolidating the peace of the world. He welcomed the return to aetive col- laboration in the League's work of the delegations from Bolivia, Honduras and Peru. In his opening address the temporary chairman, Prince Foroughi, in alluding to Anglo-American negotiations on naval power, voiced the conviction that an agreement would be reached, which would allow reduction in naval arma- ments and afford the League of Nations with fresh possibilities for a successful work in the international field, “The sincere wishes of all members of the League go out to those engaged in these efforts and I feel sure I am speaking for the assembly in expressing the earnest desire for their complete and early success,” said the Persian rince. “It is the law of human affairs hat nothing in this world is stable which does not rest on habit. You gentlemen of the League are creating the habit of peace.” Amid applause the prince said that further progress had been made toward the organization of world peace by the signing of the Briand-Kellogg pact for the outlawry of war. This harmonized, he said, with the League covenant and marked an end of the cruel reign of foree. Referring to the growing adoption of arbitral methods for settling dis- putes and to the negotiations for the United States to join the World Court of International Justice, Foroughi said all this indicates the general resolve to P\lt an end to the era of injustice “which cast its shadow over the entire past of our race and which is yet sad- dened by bitter suffering.” Latin Settlement Cited. Alluding to the League of Nations influence for the spread of peaceful procedure throughout the world, the speaker cited the settlement of dif- ferences between Paraguay and Bolivia, saying all were gratified to see these two members affirm their determina- tion to abide loyally by the obligation assumed on signing the covenant of the League. “These two members,” he said, “be- long to Latin America where concilia- tion and arbitration are traditional means of settling differences and where even disputes of ancient date are finally removed by Pacific means.” Dr. Guerrero received 43 of 51 bal- lots deposited in the election for presi- dent of the assembly. The temporary chairman, Prince Foroughi, character- ized him as an eminent jurist and statesman who had consistently labored for the realization of the ideals of the League of Nations. Delegates and_officials last night heard Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn in the annual pre-assembly sermon ap- glnurl the agencies of world peace and umanity to united efforts for banish- ment of warfare, The American clergyman spoke in historic St. Pierre Cathedral, rich in associations with Calvin and Knox. In his audience were scores of leaders of the great nations. The Kellogg anti- war pact was said by the preacher to resemble “Christ's adventure for man- kind” in that it specifies no physical means for enforcement. He denounced absolution in States and “the philosophy of force” and urged religious groups to take co-operative action for world security. LEADING SCIENTISTS GATHER AT CONGRESS 1,000 International Psychologists to Hear 200 Discussions at Yale Meeting. By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., September 2.— The world’s_leading psychologists - sembled at Yale University today for the ninth international congress of psychology. One thousand delegates were at the opening session, among them 200 scheduled speakers with topics embrncmfn important discoveries and far-reaching experiments. James Rowland Angell, president of Yale and vice president of the con- fi , welcomed the delegates, and J. [cKeen Cattell of New York, president, made the opening addrees. “The objects of the sciences,” Dr. Cat- tell said, “are more ideal than t! b- Jects of the churches, their practices are more Christian. When in the full- ness of time there is a family of the nations, when each will give according to its ability and receive according to its needs, when war among them will be as absurd as it would now be for members of this congress to begin mur- dering each other. This will be due in no small measure to co-operation among the scientific men of all nations in their common work. “And it may be that psychology, the child among the sciences and th United States, the child among the na- tions, shall lead them.” Glider Towed Behind Motor Boat Takes off From Detroit River By the Associated Press. DETROIT, September 2.—What was said to be the first success- ful glider take-off from water in this country was made yesterday in the Detroit River here. The glider, piloted by Oscar Kuhn, was towed by a speed boat driven by Gar Wood, holder of the Harmsworth trophy. The cable connecting fhz glider to the speed boat was 425 feet long. At a velocity of 26 miles an hour the glider left the water and it gained a maximum altitude of 200 feet at 32 miles an hour. Kuhn then cast loose the fow ‘cable @ perfeet deacent { between times. Notables of Aviation Fill Scenery at Cleveland During Events. BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON, Aviation l_dl!ar of The Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 2.— The subtle, gently insinuating dust of Cleveland’s great airport, which demo- cratically powders the great and the in- significant alike, is settling like an earthy accolade on the shoulders of more aviation notables than ever have been gathered in one place. o Flyers whose names are known #m every home, designers and builders who are responsible for the great aviation advances of the day and aeronautical glants who are buliding the great air transportation systems which span the continent slap the dust from each other's backs as they watch the coun- try's greatest aeronautical classic, Announcer Introduces All ‘The announcer who keeps the great throngs in & mile-long grandstand posted on the events above them via a public loudspeaker system is forever calling some new aviation notable tw the microphone. His list of speakers is a roster of the heroes of the air. Some of these great flyers carry home the dust on flying togs after doing their stuff in the heat-hazed sky. Others brush it from street ¢lothes after a day in the box seats, where they have been” watching their fellow flyers work. ‘These skies are full of famous fiyers and famous planes. Name over all the great fiyers you know, Virtually all of them are here or have been: here during the course of the na- tional air races. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is in the air daily, leading a crack three-plane section {rom the Navy High Hat fight- ing plane squadron.” So far he has stuck to formation flying, leaving the solo work to other recognized aerial masters. Two Great Service Rivals. Two of the world’s greatest pilots were here yesterday for another act in their friendly drama of rivalry. They are Lieut. James Doolittle of the Army Air Corps, who tore the wings off his plane in a power dive, escaping by parachute, and Lieut. Alford J. Williams of the Navy, who set a new record for flying unside down, they are the bright stars of the two services and are among the world’s first 10 pilots.. Doolittle and Williams probably are the greatest acrobatic flyers this country ever has produced. They are the country’s leading racing pilots. Doolittle is one time winner of the Schneider Trophy, the world's premier speed award, and Williams is holder today of the American speed record. Their other air feats are-legion. There are two civilian pilots here who are worthy of flying beside them. They are Freddy Lund and Charles “Speed” Holman, who have been con- tributing some of the most remarkable flying of the races. Lund has been leading a civilian acrobatic team and flying a special low wing stunting plane ‘Holman's specialty has been the stunting of & great three-ton Altman multi-motored transport plane. In this cumbersome mass of metal, he emulates Lindbergh's section of high hat, the total motor power in both cases being the same, The Marine Corps has six planes here, headed by the Marines own par- ticular bright light, Capt. Téx Rogers, | who has been tearing up the welkin | with the best of them. Transatlantic Flyers on Hand. If you have a preference for trans- atlantic fiyers, you can see most of them here. You may rub the dusty shoulders of George W. Haldeman and Ruth Elder, who almost got &cross. Miss Amelia Earhart, who did get over, is flying here regularly. Clarence D. Chamberlin, who flew from New York to Germany, has brought & plane of his own, design, which he has flown in several ‘events. Rogers Q.° Willlams and Lewis A. Yancey, who flew from Old Orchard to Spain, have been here through most of the races. They flew to Cleveland in the Bellanca Columbia, in which Chamberlin crossed the ocean. And then, of course, there is Lindbergh. Women pilots are taking part in these races for the first time and a very prominent part at that. The country’s foremost woman flyers are here, 15 of them having come in the woman's der- by race from Santa Monica, Calif. In addition to Miss Earhart and Miss Elder—or rather, Mrs. Walter Camp— there are Louise McPhetridge Thaden, winner of the derby; Thea Rasche, Elinor Smith, petite holder woman's endurance record; Trout, Blanche Noyes, nell, Lady Mary Heath, local hospital following a bad crash; Vera Dawn Walker, America’s smal- Jest pilot, who weighs just a little more than 90 pounds; Florence Barnes and Phoebe Omlie. 1t your mind harkens back to the World War when modern flying really began, you will recognize many fa- miliar names._The Nations two leading aces, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and Maj. Reed Landis, both have been here, The District of Columbia’s leading ace, Capt. John O. Donaldson, now in com- mercial aviation at Newark, N, J., was winner in one of the derbies here. Gliding Leaders Also Present. Are you interested in gliding? ‘You will recognize many of the American Jeaders in this new sport. ‘Edward S. Evans, president of the National Glider Association; Dr. Wolfgang Klemperer, noted German authority, end Prof. Wallace Franklin of the University of Michigan have led the flying of gliders here. The first national glider contest has been a feature of the races. Or, if your taste to dirigibles you may see familiar faces. Dr. Hugo Eck- ener is due today after finishing his round-the-world flight in the Graf Zep- pelin. The heads of the new American dirigible industry have been here from Akron, where they are building the world's two greatest dirigibles for the Navy. There have been quantities of dirigibles in the air at Cleveland lately among them the Graf Zeppelin, the Los Angeles, the new Navy all-metal experimental blimp and four com- mercial pony blimps. ‘The Federal Government's aero- nautical administrative heads have been here, among them William P. MacCracken, jr., retiring Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, and his prospective successor, Maj. Clarence M. Young, now director of aeronautics of the department; F, Tru- bee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics; David S. Ingalls, who holds the same post in the Navy; Rear Admiral Willlam A. MofTett, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, and Brig. Gen. 8. Willilams Gilimore and F. P. Lahm of the Army Air Corps. Plenty of Other Notables. ‘There are, of course, plenty of other famous fiyers here. They are s0 numerous that anything like fair list would be s0 long as to be meaning- less. Up near the top of the list we might find such names as Capt. Frank M. Hawks, J. Wesley Smith, air mail ploneer; Eric Nelson, Army rcund-the- world fiyer: Capt. Ira Eaker and Loren Mendell, both of whom were one-time holders of world endurance records; Nick Mamer, pilot of the Sun God on its double transcontinental non-stop trip, and several hundred others who have been on the front pages at one time or another.

SHANGHAI, September 2—A state- ment by C. T. Wang, Chinese foreign minister, indicating his government would not accede in one important Manchuria seemingly has left negotia- tions to solve the crisis there just where | they were two months ago. Meanwhile from Mukden came the first reports of military activity in a week, an official dispatch noting that German Consul Hansel of Harbin and four American newspaper men Wwit- nessed bombardment of the Chinese lines by Russian artillery and saw a Soviet armored train enter Chinese ter- ritory. Wang Answers Note. Dr. Wang's statement was in answer to the Moscow note of last Friday, which indicated willingness to meet China in drawing up a declaration, or modus vivendi, for the Chinese Eastern Railway of Manchuria, but insisted that the head of the directorate of the Chi- nese Eastern be discharged. Dr. Wang said China would not consent to replace the present chairman of the board of directors of the Chinese Eastern. Early in the negotiations the Rugsians insisted the former Russian general manager of the road be replaced. The note of last Friday abandoned this point, but continued to insist that the new chairman of the board be dis- charged, claiming he was at the bottom of the present trouble. WITNESS BOMBARDMENT. German Consul and Newspaper Men Report Soviets' Guns Active, MUKDEN, Manchuria, September 2 () —German Consul Hansel of Harbin and four American newspaper men were said in an official communique issued lasi night to Have witnessed bombard- men of Chinese lines by Russian art lery and to have seen & Russian_ai mored train enter Chinese territory. ‘The party had arrived at Manchuli, near the western frontier of Manchuria, (This was_the first report of border violence in almost & week.

ARRAGESTOCLOSE WTHDERBY FINSH Doolittle Escapes Death as Wing Crumbles—Williams Stunts for Throngs. By the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 2.— The national air races breezed to a con- clusion today with the finish of the non-stop derby from Los Angeles, most spectacular of the distance flights, and a wind-up demonstration of flying skill by noted pilots surpassing anything seen in the 10-day carnival of speed and daring. With $10,000 at stake, racers from Los Angeles today were led by Henry J. Brown, Cleveland-New York air matl pilot, with a flying time of 13 hours 15 minutes .and 7 seconds, according to the timing of the judges. Brown landed yesterday afternoon better than half an hour ahead of the time established by Lee Schoenhair, Los Angeles, who finished a week ago. One pilot remained in the race this morning. John P, Woods of Wassau, Wis., stuck to his plane for the flight after Art Goebel, winner of the Dole rize race to Honolulu, had withdrawn ause of unsatisfactory condition of his plane. Doolittle Is Halled for Nerve. ‘The impromptu performance of Lieut. James A. Doolittle as the races drew to a close was hailed as one of the nerviest feats of the races. Doolittle flew away from the airport to practice a routine of stunts for the crowd, stepped out of his plane when the wings came off, and landed with a parachute after diving 3,000 feet. A few minutes later, he was stunting before the crowd in a new plane, without the rehearsal interrupted wfllphlcllly a few minutes before. hty thousand spectators in the stands did not know that the looping pilot had forestalled what might have been one of the worst accidents of the races by his precaution, and returned to fy for them in spite of his experience. He had climbed to 4,000 feet to spiral to earth during his practice stunts. “I pyt the nose of my ship down in a divs and at 2,000 feet I heard a ‘pop’ which sounded like the snapping of a wire,” he said. “From then on I can't say exactly what happened. I had a definite _ recollection that the ship slowed down suddenly. When I was clear of the plane the parachute didn't open immediately. That gave me some- thing to think about. I jerked again and it came open.” Doolittle became a member of the Caterpillar Club, aviators forced to use their parachutes from a disabled plane, as a result of the accident. Williams Stunts on Back. Another star in the final stunts was Lieut. Alford Willlams, speed pilot of the Navy. Williams performed the first dive of the races upside down, straight- ened out 50 feet from the ground and landed at the conclusion of a flight in which he established a new mark for distance flights on his back and exe- cuted two outside loops from that posi- tion before making the record. Eric W. Wood, pilot of Roosevelt Field, made a new record for consecutive out- side loops by turning 14 in a single flight, and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh extended his conquests in aviation to lighter-than-air craft by piloting the Defender, blimp of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. fleet. Mrs. Lindbergh, Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, the colonel's mother, and Parmely W. Herrick, son of the late Ambassador to France, were in the party Lindbergh took along with him on the cruise. Completion of the Los Angeles derby today brought to an end the long-dis- tance derbies of the races, nine of which, including the first for women, were flown in the first few days. 01d l.lill Makes ‘Pn.rchment. The English town of Havant Church six miles from Portsmouth, is the sceme of an industry which, if Jocet 1zen o true, has been carried on by the same methods and on the same sile for 1,600 years. The parchment made there was fa- mous throughout Europe in days _gone by and is still preserved in many libra- ries and museums in Europe, but it is the United States that keeps the mill going at present. There has been recently a great demand from America for Eng- lish parchment to be used for diplomas and certificates in American universities, and, though the demand has been great enough to cause a shortage and send up the price, this seems no deterrent. EVENING STAR ENTRY IN PARADE HOOVER NEARS END RECORDSOF LABOR OF REORGANIZATION PRAISED BY GREEN \ . Has Only to Name Successor to Mrs. Willebrandt to Complete Task. By the Associated Press. Except for the selection of an Assist- ant Attorney General to succced Mrs. Mabsl Walker Wildebrandt, as chief prohibition enforcement officer, Presi- dent Hoover has compieted the rer; ganization of the administration of which he became the head six months 2go. He still has & number of judicial ap- pointments as well s some others make, however, the judicial including judges for the first and seventh cir- cuits and for the Eastern district of New York, and the districts of Kansas and New Jersey. In addition two judges must be select>d for the Court of Claims, District attorneys still to be appointed include those for the Southern district of Florida, the Northern district of Mississippi and the Eastern and West- ern districts of Pennsylvania. These will complete the reorganization of the district attorney’s force of the country a8 & result of & survey determined upon by the Chief Executive and Attorney General Mitchell early in the adminis- tration, Action Awaited on 117 Appolntments With these selections there will be & sizeable batch of appointments to be acted upon by the Senate, including 117 submitted at the first part of the special session of Congress, but which were not acted upon. All of these nom- inations must be sent in again. President Hoover probably will defer to the wishes of Republican Senate leaders that only the most urgent nomi- nations be submitted before the regular session in December, so that there. will be & minimum of interference with the consideration of the tariff bill. Nominatiqns of the eight members of the Federal Farm Board unquestion- ably will be transmitted to the Senate soon after the resumption fo the spe- clal session this week, as members of the board must serve without compen- sation until their nominations have bezen confirmed. Just before the special session ends the President also is expected to sub- mit the name of Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, to be Ambassador to Prance. Confirmation of this nom- ination is expected in open executive session, as this is customary where Senators are named to other offices. Opposition to Alcorn Hinted. ‘There naturally is speculation as to whether Mrs. Willebrandt's successor will be nominated before Deczmber. ‘The President has practically decided to appoint Hugh M. Alcorn, State’s at- torney of Connecticut. Mr. Alcorn has the indorsement of most of the dry leaders, but there have been reports of some opposition in the Senate and this is assumed to have delayed an- nouncement of the appointment. The nomination of Clarence M. Young of Iowa, as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aviation may be held over until the regular session as Wil- liam P. MacCracken does not retire un- til October 1. It also may be that some of the judicial nominations will be held up, especially those around which any controversy might develop. Thus far the President has had lit- tle difficulty with the Senate over nom- inations, having had only one rejected | out of a total of 1,948 submitted. Four of the nominations, all involving pro- motion of Army officers, were withdrawn and 1826 were confirmed, with 117 still to be acted upon. The nomination re- jected was that of Redmond A. Bolton as postmaster at Jamestown, N. Dak. Federation Head Makes Plea “for Study of Achievements of Organizations. By the Associated Press. In a Labor day message to the Amer- ican people, Willlam™ Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, {urged those who have “misunderstood labor” today to study the movement and “base their findings on the rec- ords.” “To the unorganized,” he added, “I wished to impress upon them the fact that as long as they remain voiceless in the affairs of men they must accept whatever wages, hours and working conditions employers may determine without consultation with them.” Previous Efforts. He reviewed the efforts of the federa- },:X\on! in behalf of compulsory L‘duc:ur;n ‘'When we failed in some of e States to obtain the necessary l(-gi;l);; tion, we were compelled to go to Con- gress and urge an amendment to the Constitution giving Congress the right tu‘luhlau— for children,” he sald. “Our plea was to make the law uni- form in all States as children in some States are being exploited in industry. We insisted they should be in schooi instead of the workshop as they were not only being injured physically and mentally, but were being used to manu- facture articles that come in competi- “l‘}]ncr \gltlh thn;:‘ made by adults in of ates, which have - tive laws for Chflt.\x’«’l"l.e pecarieoea “Congress answered our plea by al- most unanimous action.

But the American Federation of Labor changed all this by demanding higher wages and fewer hours of work. With higher wages and sufficient leisure money has been spent more freely than | ever before and who can doubt that | that is the basis of our prosperity.” Campaigns Are Cited. | He pointed to the efforts of his or- ganization against the white plague, narcotics, sweatshops and tenements and in behalf of seamen, and the cre- ation of a Department of Labor with a Secretary in the cabinet. and with women's and ildren’s bureaus as part of the department .

Had the accident occurred in daylight it is prob- able that all might have been saved. A hurried cail to the Rockville and Kensington Fire Departments brought the firemen, equipped with searchlights, pulmotors, and other life- atus to the sceme, but it was & full hour _before volunteer divers had brought the three bodies to shore. Three physicians worked frantically over the bodies, but in vain. A large crowd had gathered on the banks of the river, and members of the Rockville Police Department formed a guard line. Mr. Waters is an employe of the Na- tional Cash Register Co.’s Rockville office. Mr. Dawson is & well known Rockville attorney and is a former State’s attorney for Montgomery Coun= ty. Mrs. Waters was a daughter of J. Frank Wilson, formerly of Kensing- ton, Md., and Mrs. Clara Ray Wilson. She was a niece of Preston B. Ray, clerk of the Circuit Court at Rock- ville. Two_ sisters, Mrs. William L. Townsend of Kensington and Mrs. Dex- ter M. Bullard of Rockville, also sur- vive her. Funeral services for Mrs. Waters and her daguhter will be held from their home in Rockville at 2:30 o'clock to- morrow afternoon, the Rev. Henry K. Pasma_officiating. Burial will be in Rock Creek Cemetery. Myerly Wades Into Hole. Myerly was drowned earlier in the day near the same place. He was wading in the river in company with Miss Han- nah Butler of Washington, when he siepped into a deep hole. Neither of the party was able to swim, and Miss Butler, seeing him in difficulty, sum- moned help. Several persons nearby dived and made unsuccessful attempts to save him. His body was recovered an hour later, but efforts to revive him with a pulmotor failed. Myerly was the son of J. G. Myerly of Poolesville, Md. Funeral services will be held from the Poolesville home at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Burial will be at Berryville, Va. M{er]y is survived by two brothers, one of them the Rev.

Sir John Chancellor, high commis sioner, yesterday issued a proclamation in which he said, one of his first in- terests would be to capture and punish those responsible for the last few days’ rioting. « He then declared he would suspend conversations which he had undertaken with the British government for con- stitutional reforms in Palestine, and would adhere strictly to the principles laid down in the white paper of Novem- 19, 1928, ‘This white paper acknowledged Jewish right of access to the western wall of the temple or the “wailing wall,” with the Jews entitled to bring appurtenances as permitted under the Turkish regime.
