A—-2 SHEARER'S SECRET PAPER ONLY A JOKE “Amazing Document” Bared as Satire on British Propaganda. ‘% Is By the Associated Press. The “amazing secret British docu- ment” of Willlam B. Shearer, naval propagandist, which was disclosed yes- terday to Senate investigators by Dr. W. J. Maloney of New York to be a “satirieal skit on British propaganda” written by him was entitled in its origi- | nal form “The Re-conquest of America.” It was distributed at 5 cents a copy | in 1919 during the League of Nations | controversy, Dr. Maloney said, and was intended to offset “propaganda for the League” in this country. More than 500,000 coples were distributed and it was printed in serial form in the Ca- nadian press. Former Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson barred it from the mails. Purporting to be a note to Prime Mini-ter David Lloyd George from the Brilish consulate in New York City, the 29-page pamphlet began with an analysis of the “American mentality on which hostility to England depended” and concluded with the suggestion that “the day prophesied by Mr. Carnegie is near at hand, the day when the Ameri- can Colonies will be in all things one with the motherland, one and invisible.” Document Was Unsigned. The document was unsigned and Dr. Maloney explained that the inference was left that it was written by Sir Wil- liam Wiseman, “chief of the British secret service in America,” in_erder to “give it an air of authenticit; "1 analyzed the American mentality on which hostility to England depend- ed,” the pamphlet said, “and found it composed chiefly of covetousness, pride, fear and traditional ignorance. 1 then suggested the formation here under Sir Giibert Parker of propagands bureaus to modify the prevailing 1gnorance, and requested power to apply adequate so- cial and financial pressure in order to satisfy native American ambition and 10 cater to the weaknesses which fed it.” Marooned when crumbled under pressure of backwaters from the swollen Obion River, between 35 and 30 familiss in the Poplar Ridge community, north of here, were béing rescued tonight by searching parties in Boats. “Secret” Pact Author ___DR.

Negotiations for sale of the Invest- ment Building, Fifteenth and K streets, had reached a point yesterday which re- sulted in an announcement from Emory L. Coblentz that the deal probably wiil be consummated within two days. The consideration is said to apprcximate $3.900,000. Coblentz, prominent banker of Pred- erick, Md., is represented as handliny the sale. He is a vice president of the ‘Washington Building Corporation, wiich appears on record as present owner of the building. According to & petition filed with the Circuit Court of Marlboro, Md., “ar- rangements have been made to sell this property to the Continental Life Insur- ance Co. of Richmond, the purchaser to pay enough cash to take care of the taxes, curtail and interest.” Company Ts Not Actual Buyer. The life insurance company has its main office in this city. Coblentz said yesterday that the life insurance com- pany is not to be the actual buyer of the building, but is representing an un- disclosed principal, - According to records at the District Bullding, Coblentz, in December, 1929, was _vice president and principal stock- holder of the Continental Life Insur- ance Co. He said over londg-distance telephone last night that he holds no stock in the company at this time. Permission to negotiate the sale was granted recently by the Circuit Court at Marlboro at the request of George W.

In forwarding his check for $25 Rep- resentative Gambrill told The Star, “You are be commended for your very public spirited efforts in raising this fund and I hope the response will be generous.” The explosion occurred in the dfstrict which Representative ‘Gambrill represents. John Hall is endeavoring to re-estab- lish his family, but has not been able to return to his work since the explosion in his Seat Pleasant home on New Year day. The only source of income for the stricken family, three of whose raembers are still in the hospital, is the $15 week- ly salary of Norris Hall, the eldest son, who works for a gasoline concern. The case does not come under the projects served by the Community Chest. | Another helping hand came to the aid | of the stricken family pesterday when | the Sibley Hospital Guild announced | that it had paid the hospital expenses of two of the bomb victims who died there—Dorothy Hall, 4 years old, and Samuel, the baby of the family, who was only 19 months old.

It is believed the creation of a permanent full-time executive officer would make for continuity of knowl- edge of zoning matters as well as to provide for effective zoning planning on the basis of technical studies.

COLLISION dF BOA'I:S MENACES AL SMITH Former New York Executive Had Head Out Cabin Window Shortly Before Crash. By the Associated Press. MIAMI BEACH, Fla., January 11.— An outing trip to Cocolobo Cay, exclu- sive millionaire's colony south of here, nearly brought injury to former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York tcday when the boat in which he was riding collided with another craft. Newspaper men and photographers, riding in a faster boat thau that in which the former Democratic presi- dential nominee was making the trip, passed the latter's craft to get pictures of him. Backwash from their vessel caused his boat to swerve sharply and into the path of the other boat as it turned toward the rear. The boats ccl- lided, damaging each other and throw- ing the occupants to the decks. Mr. Smith, who had had his head out of a cabin window, believed that he averted injury by withdrawing to the cabin before the collision. The trip was made in connection with the for- mal opening of the Millionaire’s Club House at Cocolobo Cay for the-season. Several hundred members of the Win- ter colony here attended. 1 Robert ' V.
