CRUISER PROGRAM URGED BY MNUTT Commander Tells Legion Building Should Continue Until Parity Is Agreed. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky. September 30.— Until an agreement Tor real naval parity is reached, America's cruiser building program should be continued, said Paul | V. McNutt, national commander of the American Legion, in his annual report made public at the opening session of the organization's national convention here today. Asserting that the Legion stands for movements to make permanent peace more certain, Comdr. McNutt added that until such methods are found and accepted by all nations “this Nation must provide a complete defense in any contingency.” “Under present conditions,” he con- tinued, “the policy of parity with other powers is essential to complete defense. Such parity must be real parity rather than apparent parity. If it is possible to achieve such parity by agreement rather than by competitive armament, the policy of the American Legion is to support such a move. Until such an agreement 7is reached the cruiser building program should be continued.” Scope of Legion. ‘The American Legion, the commander said in another part of his report, must confine itself to those matters which affect veterans of the World War and their dependents and to “broad non-partisan questions of national policy.” He sald the Legion had been asked to further many causes which, although worthy, did not concern the veterans as such, directly. He added that the legion should present a united front and that once a decision is mad~ by a properly authorized body “it is the duty of every Legionnaire to sup- port that deeision.” Discussing the failure of the national hospital bill, the report pointed out that more than 52,000 World War veterans are receiving compensation for ‘hiatric disability, “We are ‘experts,” it added, “that the peak of the neuro-psychiatric load will not be reached until 1947, “The month-old report of the acting medical director of the Veterans' Bureau contains the information that 20,378 ex-service men are hospitalized for mental illness and that of these 7.217 have been hospitalized without authorization of the bureau in State, county, city and private institutions. “Our survey shows, on August 1, that 2.243 neuro-psychiatric veterans, aside from those in non-governmental in- stitutions are awaiting hospitalization today. The conclusion is obvious. The hospital facilities of ths Government are not adequate. “I believe it to be the duty of this convention to take a determined stand on these matters and prepare to carry the fight for adequate hospitalization to a successful conclusion.” No one is a more sincere believer in peace ‘than the man who has known, personally, the horrors of war, de- clared Gen. Peyton C. March, former chief of staff of the Army, in an ad- dress prepared for delivery at the open- ing session. “We all rejoice in the signing of the Kellogg treaties renounc- ing war as an instrument of national policy, but it would be foolish to im- agine that wars were abolished by those treaties.” Auxiliary Leader Speaks. Another speaker on today’s program was Mrs. Boyce Ficklen, jr., national president of the American Legion Aux- iliary, who brought greetings from the 330,000 members of her organization. Her prepared address said the Auxiliary had been denounced as a militaristic organization because of its firm stand for the maintenance of the country's defense. “Nothing could be more absurd than this charge,” it was added. “We have seen our men march away to the most terrible war in history, and we have a clearer understanding of what war means than any other group of women in America. We will not let our love of peace blind us to the fact that the possibility of war has not yet been ban- ished from the world.” Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, & na- tive Kentuckian, also brought to the convention a plea for parity in naval strength. His text, he said, was “Faith,” Hope and Parity,” and the greatest of these is “Parity.” “The United States needs at all times,” his address said, “an adequate Navy during peace and in time of war, equal in strength and in every other particular, and on a parity with that of any other nation on earth. “There is little or no use in having an inferior Navy; one not quite strong enough. The Germans spent hundreds of millions of dollars in creating a fleet about 80 per cent as strong as that of Great Britain. When it came to a showdown during the World War, it did not give Germany even 80 per cent protection. It gave little or practically By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky. September 30.— Traffic is kept off the main downtown streets here during the American Legion convention, but this rule doesn't apply to & varied assortment of freak vehicles, which include two “49 and 8" French box cars from Ohlo, and a dozen or so clown cars. A drum and bugle corps at an Ameri- can Legion has more rights and privi- leges than any distinguished guests. There are something like 75 of them here, and every one goes where it leases,, when it pleases and plays as ong and loud as the leader says. So far only churches have escaped these noisy visitors. “Bossy” Gillis, the in-and-out-of-jail mayor of Newburyport, Mass.,! was the center of attraction when he arrived at the central registration booth with ;t:m‘: 2,500 delegates from the Bay a One 10-cent store put up a big sign, “Welcome Legion,” and then as a safety first measure erected a scaffolding around the plate glass windows. ‘The Omaha Post will pay a bet to the Louisville Post this afternoon. The matter at issue was which post would be the biggest in the world, and each post bet its shirt. While Omaha plays A funeral march, 20 Nebraskans will peel off their shirts and hand them to an equal number of Kentuckians. Comdr. Paul V. McNutt also has a bet to pay. He wagered his hat that the department of Florida couldn't get 1,000 new members. Department Adju- tant C. Howard Rowton will receive the topplece. HOLDS NEW ;IIACHINEHY DEMANDS SKILLED LABOR | Automatic Devices Seen as Creat- ing Additional Jobs for Trained Workers, | A short time age we commented upon the much-talked-of decay of skill, pointing out that this was wholly | imaginary—that, in fact, as much skill | was demanded in industry today as ever. It is merely to be found in dif- ferent channels. The maintenance of our elaborate automatic machinery was given as one field requiring the highest type of skill. In this contention we are supported by Industrial and Engineer- ing Chemistry.” “The continued mechanization of in- dustry, the increase of automatic de- vices and the perfection of remote con- trol have seemed to some to constitute factors leading to unemployment,” says | this journal. “Instead, they indicate| the growing need for skilled and a les- sened demand for unskilled labor. rate at which automatic devices become | installed is determined not so much by | the devices themselves as by a scarcity of skilled men able to install and main- tain them in satisfactory condition. “Much of the lahor performed in the | past by the unskilled may now be done | in large part by machines, but these| create jobs rather than destroy them,| place a premium on skill and open up| new possibilities for those who would | improve themselves and increase their | own capacities.” none. Hence she reverted to submarine warfare.” The admiral said that one might as well expect a lame mule to win the Kentucky Derby as a country with a second best navy to win & war.

Belgian Blonde Is Believed to Hold Marriage Record. In this day of record-making Adri- enne Guyot of Belgium steps up to claim the record for the largest num- ber of marriages made by any one in a monogamous country. In her list are the names of 50 husbands, and she is still a young and beautiful blonde. Adrienne did not exactly step up and make the claim but admitted it after she was arrested at Brussels for bigamy. Her record showed that her man- charming career started in her early {life at Mons, her native city. Becom- | ing conscious of her power she went to | Paris and there annexed her first hus- lhnnd a wealthy one, at the age of 19. | From that time on she flitted from one husband to another, marrying men | of various nationalities, including a few | Americans. She was about to attend | her Aifty-first wedding at Brussels when | an ex-husband recognized her. Adri- enne argued that she had a perfect right to marry as many as she pleased. o A new chain of shoe stores in Ger- many is selling shoes at $1.75 a pair.

If one man with no official connection can chilige a whole conference, it's not him you want to investigate, it's the guys that he influenced. And it's the same with lobbying in Washington. 1If we have Senators and Representa- tives there that can't protect them- selves against these evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobby, we need to change our Representatives. Any person that can't spot a propagandist and lobby- ist a mile away must be a person so blind that they still think toupees are deceptive, and can't tell a hotel house detective from a guest. GAS WEATHER CONTROL CLAIMED BY INVENTOR ‘The Fall crop of extravagant scientific claims seems to be descending upon us early this season. Recent dispatches have assured us of the accomplishment of two selentific marvels, which long have been the dream of man. Christian Smidt Alexander, a German inventor, stands ready, we are told, to modify the weather upon invitation. It is his intention to spread a layer of inoffen- sive gas evenly at altitudes of 300 to 500 feet, which, it is declared, would modify the flerest rays of the sun. Just what the gas is we are not told, nor has the inventor disclosed his method for making it stay at the proposed level, neither rising, falling nor blowing to ene side. Probably no gas could be made cheaper than water.vapor, which is so effective in the form of our usual clouds. yet it would require an inconceivable | quantity of coal to evaporate enough of this to produce even a layer that the eye could detect. We are told also that New Zealand | chemists have made gold from the baser | metals by an electro-magnetic method. Following the claim made by Adolph Miethe, the possibilities in this field were pretty well investigated a few years ago, and it is now generally conceded | that it is never likely to be accomplished. We are told also that these same men have discovered & new force, called chromadyne, 10 times more powerful than electricity. This ought to inspire the fuelless engine experts.
