PRESIDENT GREETS GREAT AND LOWLY Chief Executive, With Mrs. Hoover, Exchanges Kindly Word in Reception. (Continued From First Page.) which will not be concluded until the };: caller has filed past the receiving No Limit Set by President. ‘The President and Mrs. Hoover set no time limit upon this part of their reception. They were prepared to keep on receiving as long as there was any one to receive. Although the dazzling uniforms and decorations of the diplomatic corps and the uniformed officers of the armed services of the Government added much to the colorfulness of the occasion and presented a scene suggestive of a Enl!lnl. the real interest of the day, as always the case at New Year recep- tions, was furnished by the long line of Just plain, ordinary citizens from all stations in life, all races and creeds, who presented themsalves, not in re- sponse to any individual or particular invitation, but simply because they wanted to shake the hands of the Presi- dent and the First Lady and wish them all the good fortune possible in the year to_follow. There were happy and expectant faces in this long public line of men and women, and even children, some of them barely old enough to walk and some in arms. Public Lines Assembled Early. As an evidence of their spirit and their appreciation of the occasion was furnished in the early assembling of the. public line just outside the iron fence of the White House grounds along the sidewalk of Pennsylvania avenue. Regardless of the fact that the public reception was not to start until 1 o’clock in the afternoon, the line began to form long ahead of time. These early ones seemed to not mind in the least the long, tiresome wait, as they stood in the cold. Some came with luncheon in P . Some, evidently old hands at this sort of thing, brought stools to #it upon. Some stood upon folded news- papers to keep their feet warm and dry. As might be expected, the interior getting for this annual event was ap- ropriately beautiful. The rooms and Elfl'lyl of the historic mansion were festive in palms, ferns, carnations, Toses and the holiday poinsettia. Also there were greens of the Yuletide sea- son. Several of the many spruce trees which had been placed about the first floor as part of the White House Christmas decorations were left stand- ing. One oln"..hts;,l;filud in a far (cofi; ner of the state g room, was fully trimmed with t,.n‘sf'l..s gay colored balls and other ornaments. More color was added to the setting by the gay uniforms of the Marine Band, which, as usual, furnished the music. Also there were the many White SPECIAL NOTICE.

Army, Navy and Marine Corps, House aides in their full dress uni- forms, who were kept busy rushing about directing the various groups to their positions for assembling and then starting them along the receiving line at the proper moment. Uniformed men of the enlisted service were stationed at different points as guards of honor. Orchestra in Two Sections. The Marine Band Orchestra was di- vided into two sections, one section be- ing stationed on one side of the main way and the other section on the other side of the corridor. There was no let- up in their playing. As soon as one section stopped for a rest the section on the other side of the hall burst forth. This kept up throughout the reception, and the only airs played were lively ones, mostly of a dance or marching nature, Promptly at 11 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, followed by Vice President Curtis and Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, his sister and offictal hostess, and next by the members of the Cabinet and the women members of their families start- ed down the main staircase. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Postmaster General and Mrs. Brown were absent from this group. As the official family reached the bot- tom of the stairway the Marine Band greeted them with a fan fare of trum- pets and flourishes of the drums, fol- lowed with the playing.of,“Hail to the Chief.” o With Col. Campbell Hodges and Capt. Allen Buchanan, chief military and na- val aide, respectively, leading the way, the President and Mrs. Hoover were then escorted across the wide corridor to their position in the Blue room. An instant later the signal was given for the reception to begin. -~ Cabinet Members First. First to be greeted were the members budget and then the diplomatic corps. ‘The first foreign guests received were the Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard, who paid their respects on such an occasion for the last time, as the Ambassador very soon will retire from his post here. The British suite in an imposing one and, dating from the time when the late Lord Pauncefote proudly strutted down the line as the dean of the corps and the first Ambassador to represent his country in Washington, mank changes have come. Then there were 3 am- bassadors; now there are 14. The di- rector general of the Pan-American Union followed the diplomatic corps. Next came the members of the judiciary. The ranks of the members of the United States Supreme Court bench did not include Chief Justice Taft and Mrs. Taft. The death of the former's brother prevented their attendance. Behind the members of the Supreme Court followed the presiding judge and associate judges of the Court of Cus- toms and Patent Appeals, the chief justice and associate justices of the Court of Appeals of the District of Co- lumbia, the chief justice and associate justices of the Court of Claims and the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. ‘The members of the judiciary had as- sembled in the red room while await- ing their turn to pay their respects in the receiving line, ‘The next unit to pass was com- posed of the Senators and Representa- tives and Delegates in Congress, the librarian of Congress, the Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia and the public printer. The members of this group had assembled in the east room while awaiting their turn. Officers Represent Services. ‘Then followed the officers of the the staff of the commanding general of the District National Guard, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The officers in this uniformed group were all above the rank of major. Then followed the exccutive as- sistants of the members of the cabinet, the regents and secretary of the Smith- sonian Institute, the civil service com- missioners, the interstate commerce commissioners, members of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Trade commissioners, the United States tariff commissioners, the commissioners of the United States Shipping Board, the trustees of the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation, the Federal Farm Board, the National Com- mission on Law Observance and En- forcement, the members of the United States Board of Mediation, the United States employes’ compensation commis- sioners, the members of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the Federal Farm Loan Board, the United States Board of Tax Appeals, the con- troller general of the United States, the director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau, the national advisory commit- tee for aeronautics, the Federal radio commissioners, the chairman of the American National Red Cross, the treasurer of the United States, the chief of the United States Bureau of Efficiency, the alien property custodian, the heads of the bureaus of the several departments and the president of the Columbia Institution for the I:af and Dumb, ‘Then came the group formed by members of patriotic and civic organi- zations. The order of this line wa: ‘The Society of the Cincinnati, the Aztec Club of 1847, the Associated Veterans of the War of 1846-47, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United | States, the Grand Army of the Repub- lice, the Medal of Honor Legion, the Union Veteran Legion, the Union Vet- erans’ Union, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Soclety of the Army of San Diego, the Spanish War Veterans, the American Legion, the Army and Navy Union, the Minute Men, Soclety of Co- lonial Wars, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of the Revolu- tion and the members of the Associa- tion of Oldest Inhabitants of the Dis- trict of Columbia. As these lines moved slowly along there was a merry buzz of voices from all sections. East Room Scene Impressive, As the lines filed past the President and Mrs. Hoover in the blue room they continued on through the doorway into the green room and thence into the large historic east room. It was here that the lines broke ranks, so to speak, although a few individuals dropped out to meet friends and associates who had paused in the green room. With the great crystal chandeliers of the east room brilliantly lighted and the cor- ners of the room banked with palms and other greens and flowers, the sight in this room as the crowds stood about in groups chatting and laughing was impressive with marked absence of rigid formality. At the conclusion of the morning re- ception, at about noon, the President and Mrs. Hoover went to the front por- tico amd posed for a group photograph with a score or more White House military, naval and Marine aides. With this over they retired to the second floor of the house, where they rested and talked with friends before partaking of a light Junch. One of the interesting features of to- day’s New Year reception was the pres- ence of Irvin Hood Hoover, chief usher of the White House, who personally was in charge of the details and ar- rangements of this great affair. This reception served as Mr. Hoover's fortieth, he being one of the real veterans of the ‘White House official staff and more famillar with handling social functions at the White House than any other attache. As the clocks in the White House struck the hour of 1 the long line of citizens was started on its way to the blue room to exchange greetings. Honduran Official Injured. TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, January 1 () —Gen. Givente Tosta, former president, who now holds the interior and justice portfolios, was seriously in- jured yesterday when his automobile turned over and pinned him beneath. His driver fled, fearing punishment, and the general was left under the car until another automobile passed a few hours later. He was then rushed here for treatment, t . corridor just beyond the entrance door-: of the cabinet, then the director of the | THE EV. WASHINGTON HAILS BIRTH OF NEW YEAR Thousands Pay Formal Calls, While Florists Rush to Fill Orders. All was quiet along the Potomac to- day—after a few hours of fitful sleep— | until Washington awoke to a realization | that the lusty-lunged foundling it had adopted in a moment of rashness at imidnight was clamoring for a renewal of its christening festivities. Leaving the politicians to settle the mooted question as to whether last night's christening of 1930 was the “wettest or driest” on record, the resi- dents of the National Capital turned out in full force this morning to pre-} pare for-a return of time-honored New Year formalities. Officially, tfie cele- bration began with the reception at the White House, in which the public took | part, at 1 o'clock. Connecticut avenue, | ounce the scene of brilliant New Year | parades of the fashionable, again took | on the appearance of former years as official Washington went about its round of New Year calls. The Police Department may have its own opinion about the sobriety of ‘Washington's New Year celebration, and was checking up today on the casualties of the night and early morning hours. With specfal details of detectives on | duty at all public places where | “whoopee” reigned supreme, the down- town police precincts entertained a long list of unwilling guests. Many Church Services. ‘Washington celebrated the birth of the new year in its own way—and that way was determined by individual de- sires. Not all of the population packed the night clubs, hotels and theaters by any means. Almost every Protestant church in the city had its Watch Night service, and at the stroke of midnight the chimes of Epiphany tolled the glad tidings throughout the Capital. \ President and Mrs. Hoover, reserving today for their official recognition of the New Year, spent last night quietly at the White House, as did thousands of other families, despite all the in- ducements offered to draw them down- town. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover had a few | friends in for the evening and dis- | pensed with the custom of Marine trumpeters to herald the birth of the | new year in the picturesque man- | ner inaugurated by Mr. Coolidge. The ticker tape showers with which Wall Street greets celebrities were rivaled today by the paper and past- board deluge with which Washington welcomed the new year. Calling cards, mounting into many thousands, figu- rativly eddied and swirled and sifted about doorsteps like snow flakes, Every- body went calling. One leather goods house was com- pletely sold out of card cases yesterday, owing to the unprecedented demand. Antique Roman seemed to be the fa- vored lettering used on the cards. Most of them were of plain white, while a few were of the most expensive parch- ment. The Capital paid tribute to 1930, too, with about $20,000 worth of flowers. A leading florist estimated this amount as a fair New Year percentage of the en- tire holiday trade in flowers, which he says was between $90,000 and $100,000. Some single $500 orders for New Year flowers were placed with local florists Lists of 5 or 10 names were left with orders for $50 and $100 worth of flowers each, Gardenias, orchids and roses were usually included in the boxes, which were dressed up with fancy tulle and ribbons. The 1930 debutantss’ par- tiality for gardenias worn on the shoul- der has sold many of these blossoms at | $2 aplece, One of the largest New Year orders ever given a Washington florist was for $5,000 from a countess who is now in Europe. The check was accompanied by a list of names to whom she wanted $100 boxes of flowers sent. ‘Telephone Operators Busy. Last night was a hectic one for the long-distance operators at the tele- phone exchanges. There was a hum of | organized activity on the part of the 150 special operators who handled the greatly increased number of calls, which ‘vere made to every section of the United States. The local telephone company had increased its operating force to more than five times its usual number to handle the peak load of 7,000 calls, which occurred between the hours of 8:30 pm. and 3 a.m. today. Among the switching centers which | had increased circuits connected with ‘Washington were Albany, Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Hartford and New Haven, Conn.; Salem, Mass.; Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohle Milwaukee, St. Louis, Charleston, W. Va., and Rich- mond, Va. United States Attorney Leo A. Rover, upon whom falls the duty of prosecut- ing dry law offenders, will have some- thing pertinent to say about law en- forcement and observance in 1930, when he speaks today at the Young Men's Christian Association. The central branch will keep open house during the afternoon and after Mr. Rover's address at 2:30 o'clock, there will be a general reception, followed by athletic games. A committee of hostesses, headed by Mrs. Leonard W. De Gast, will assist in receiving the guests. GEN. PERSHING OUTLINES NEW YEAR RESOLUTION By the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr., January 1.— Gen.

She is Miss Phyllis Hight, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Hight, 1644 Twenty-first street. Mr. Hight is manager of the Willard Hotel. Miss Hight on January 2 will become cashier of the Child Welfare Thrift Shop, 504 Tenth street, which is oper- ated as a permanent activity for the benefit of four child welfare organi- zations in Washington. Miss Hight has | been offering her services at the shop for some time as a member of the | Junior League, but with the beginning | of the New Year she will join the | staff of the shop as full-time cashier, | on the pay roll. | ‘The Thrift Shop is operated for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital, the Child Welfare Society, the Children’s Country Home, and the Prenatal Clinic of Columbia Hospital.

And that's the very thing that makes me believe us Democrats may get a break in the coming year. I base my faith on the fact that 98 per cent of all predictions are wrong, and on the fact that it's an off-year in politics, and all off-years are Democratic years. (Copyright, 1930.)

Members of the Association of Old- est Inhabitants of the District of Co- lumbia were received by President Hoo- ver today, following the regular annual uew Year meeting at their headquar- TS, The principal feature of the annual meeting was the report of John Clagett Proctor, chronicler, who presented an interesting review of the outstanding events of each day of the year. Mr. Proctor touched upon local mat- ters principally, but also chronicled for the association the outstanding events in world history. “The year is closing with a beautiful day,” he reported for December 31. “It was 56 degrees at noon.” Members of the association who died during the past year were recorded by Mr. Proctor as follows: Henry E.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan Prosperity for 1930, despite ing memories of the stock market erash, 1; lfnrecut by Prof. Irving Pisher of ale. Prohibition, the application of sci- ence, and invention to industry and scientific management in mass produc- tion were cited as contributing factors for a better business outlook. He spoke last night before Iowa bankers. “Prohibition is a highly controversial subject,” Prof. Fisher said, “but not on the economic side. Whatever else we may think of prohibition, there is no gainsaying its economic value. “Future earnings may also be ex- pected to be greater, because we are now applying science and invention to industry as we never applied them be- fore. Inventing is now a profession. “Scientific management and mass production are contributing to in- creased output, which is reflected in increased dividend earnings. Labor unions are increasingly sympathetic with scientific management and have largely renounced the policy of limita- tion of output.” The stock panic was laid to “unsound financing of sound prospects.” “The real trouble,” he said, “was not so much the high prices of securities as that there were too many le in debt, and too deeply in debt. The outlook 'was so very bright as to dazzle the pub- ml and lure them into debt to get rich quick.” Loss of $30,000,000,000 in paper val- ues of securities was seen as no reason for t:lowlnl down of business and in- dustry.
