Shortly after his rejection by the Senate, Mr. Vare announced that he was “in the fight to a finish” and that he would be a candidate for the Re- publican senatorial nomination at the primary in May against Joseph R. Grundy “or any one else.” Last week Vare collapsed from fa- tigue and exhaustion, attributed by his physician to his fight for the Senate seat and a motor trip to Lancaster. “Unless some unforeseen political situ- ation develops,” Dr. Kirby said. “Mr. Vare will withdraw from the Senate contest to which he recently commit- ted himself.” Mrs. Vare was sald to have indicated that she was fully in accord with Dr. Kirby's opinion that her husband should retire from politics. Several of the most powerful factors in_the Vare organization here have publicly expressed stheir approval of Grundy's appointment to the Senate seat. Reports that the Vare organization would back former Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown for the Republi- | can gubernatorial nomination could not be confirmed. SAYS DEBENTURE PLAN WILL NET FOUR BILLIONS Brookhart Points Advantages to Nation’s Farmers by This Method. By the Associated Press. The export debenture plan was en- visioned today by Senator Brookhart of lowa.as a method by which the farmers of the country could gain $4,000,000,000 more a year from their crop sales. Speaking over the network of the National Broadcasting Co.. the Iowa Senator said that $5,000,000,000 more than the amount now received was necessary if the farmer was to get wages for his work equal to those of ordinary, unskilled labor. Proper ad- justment of the tariff, he said, might produce the other billion. JAILED IN STAMP THEFT. Philippine Clerk Gets 10 Years and Fine of About $106,000. MANILA, December 18 (#)—Floren- cio Reyes, former stamp clerk in the Bureau of Posts, was convicted yesterday of embezzling 212,349 pesos’ worth of stamps. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined the amount of the embezzlement, about $106,000. Reyes' property, which was seized some time ago, amounts to only a frac- tion of the sum of the fine. The sheriff is still busy locating the property of Jose Topacio, director of the Bureau of Posts, against whom the government has filed suit for 281,000 pesos ($140,500), alleging it lost that amount through ! his_inefficient management of the de- partment. Property amounting to $100,000 in Topacio’s name thus far has been located. Reyes was the first of several Bureau of Posts employes to be tried as a re- » | sult of an investigation of the depart- ment., = . 59 Michelson on Eve Of 77th Birthday Plans New Study | Professor, Afraid He’s “A Back Number,” Will Measure Light’s Speed. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 18.—Although but recently released from a hospital room, Prof. Albert A. Michelson, world- famed University of Chicago physicist, will observe his seventy-seventh birt day anniversary tomorrow evincing an eagerness to return to his research on the speed of light. First American to win the coveted Nobel prize and one of the few men who understands the Einstein theory, W. | Prof. Michelson broke an interviewer's moment of silence with: “I am afraid I am a back number. I believe men make their greatest con- tributions to the world during the 20- year span of life between 25 and 45.” Prof. Michelson is more than 30 years past this mark, but he hastened to say that after a rest in the South he will 80 to California to resume his work in calculating at a greater accuracy the speed of light. ‘The professor gave out his philosophy of life when he said: “Keep amused. Don't take life too seriously.” Some of his pastimes are chess, painting and solitaire. “Solitaire,” he sald, “is a sort of idiot's pastime, but it's a great sleep | inducer.” Lady’s Diamond Wedding THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, December 18 (#)—Charging that the Department of Interior ruling of March 12, which prevents oil and gas prospecting on the public domain, is unjust and discrimi- natory, the Mountain States Permit- tees’ Assoclation has forwarded a reso- lution to Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur asking that the order be rescinded. ‘The order, the resolution said, has | stopped expenditure of $3,000,000 which bad been provided for prospecting in the mountain States.

Pola Negri had among her old husbands an amateur prince; that is, he was a prinee, but he had nothing to be prince of. He was supposed to be “Prince of Georgia,” so I suppose his mother was Empress of Atlanta and his ‘ather King of Coca-Cola. ‘Well, it seems that Pola had asked waivers on him, but when she heard that Mary would take up his option, why Pola, feline like, reconsidered and started feeding him again. Well, did Mary rave? She did not. She said, “I hope they will be hap- py. and it's saved me a board bill.” That-a-gal, Mary! Cheer up! We will dig you up the Duke of Holly- wood.
