U.3. WORKERS' BODY WILL PAY ANNUITIES System Providing Retirement Fund Is Planned by Em- ployes’ Federation. As a result of action taken at the sessions of the executive council of the National Federation of Federal Employes | held during the week it was announced yesterday that a system of retirement annuity for the permanent personnel of the organization’s headquarters will be put into effect February 1. Organized Federal employes in setting up such a plan are “practicing what they preach” in regard to the most lib- eral treatment of annuitants on the Gov- ernment pay roll, Luther C. Steward, Dresident of the federation, declared. ‘The federation is the first labor organi- zation to inaugurate a retirement sys- tem for its own personnel, he said, and in setting such an example “is placing itself in the forerank of progressive em- ployers.” Minimum Is Put at $1,200. ‘The federation’s retirement plan, as approved by the executive council, calls for a minimum annuity of $1,200 a year, payable at the age of 65 after 30 years of service. A deduction of 3 per cent will be made from employes’ salaries, the balance to be contributed by the ;;d:rluon to a permanent annuity nd. Eighteen employes at present benefit from the federation’s retirement system, which excludes elective officers of the organization. Should any employes be separated from the federation’s service before reaching the retirement age the entire sum of deductions made from salary for application to the retirement fund will be returned with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, com- pounded semi-annually. Steward Discusses Move. Discussing the federation’s proposal, ‘Mr. Steward said: “Since this plan of retirement has been installed as the result of unani- mous action taken by our last national convention it is the best possible evi- dence of the consistency of viewpoint on the part of organized Federal em- ployes, who believe firmly in the appli- cation of the fflnclplu of equitable re- tirement annuity to the men and women members of the Federal service, and have put such & plan into effect at the earliest possible moment in their own household.” Before adjournment the executive council & comprehensive leg- islative program last night and went on record as opposed to the Follcy of placing enlisted personnel of the military services on Government work which, the organization contends, should be performed by civilian clerks.

DANZIG, Danzig Pree State, January 11.—VYesterday, the tenth anniversary of the “forcible” severance of Danzig from . vne German fatherland, was kepj as a day of mourning by the overwhelmingly ! German population of the city. ‘The papers recalled the declaration »by Poland’s first premier, Ignace Jan Paderewski, in 1918, that “Danzig’s oc- cupation will be Poland's aim.” They emphasized that colonization of the Danzig port and raillways was making continuous headway. * The papers then called upon the Ger- man gpu!luon to stand shoulder to shoulder and work for the weal of the and Business Life. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Frankness, fearlessness and femininity | —these three, interwoven and insepa-' rable, mgiht well sum up the personality of Gladys Moon Jones, the slight young woman who Friday startled the dignity of members of the Senate lobby com- mittee by telling them, face to face, what she thought of their investigating methods. One meeting Mrs. Jones in a casual manner would never suspect that be- hind the slender, girlish frame, always attired in the most modish apparel, lies hidden a dynamic will, which in the short period of 10 years has surmount- ed unbelievable obstacles in attaining a domestic and professionsl success, sel- dom achieved either men or women of her age. ing ‘two academic Possess| degrees, an A. B. from De Pauw Uni- versity, Indiana, and the degree of bachelor of laws from Northwestern Uni- versity, Illinois, Mrs. Jones, despite her success as a magazine, newspaper and publicity writer, has an_intensely do- mestic side, which predominates and penetrates the business side of her life. A happy romance has strongly colored the past 10 years of Mrs, Jones' iife, and may in a large part account for the fact that despite her efficient deal- ings with the “hard-boiled” business world she has retained all the charm and appeal of her sex. Married War Veteran. While finishing her last year as a law student at Northwestern University in 1919, Gladys Moon met Harry LeRoy Jones, who had just returned from Europe, where for two years he had served in the aviation and the judge advocate general's department of the A. E. P. Jones had returned to com- plete his law studies at Northwestern, interrupted by his war service. Within a few months after their meeting the two were married, despite predictions from well-intentioned friends that it was the height of foolhardiness for struggling young law students to try to make a go of the difficult business of matrimony. But the “Joneses” did make a go of it, and then some. Not only did Mrs. Jones carry on the busi- ness side of life with her husband, but proceeded as efficiently to fulfill the domestic side as well. A little daugh- ter and a 3-year-old son, both perfect specimens of babyhood, are Mrs. Jones' answer to the contention that no woman with a professional career can be_a successful mother as well. But to combine motherhood and busi- ness has not been an easy task. Many sacrifices of good positions have of necessity been made because of the de- mands of married life. Took Baby to Class. “I gave up a position as instructor in the Blackstone Institute of Law be- fore my first baby was born,” reminisced Mrs. Jones, “but when she was 6 months old I started working for my master’s degree at Northwestern. Many a time 1 have wheeled my baby to class in her carriage, hired a little girl to look after her and then attended classes while the baby remained outside. Some- times it would be snowing, and I have frequently returned after class to find her wrapped in her blankets, covered with snow, with just her little pink nose peeping out.” Accompanying her husband, who had accepted a position as attorney with the General Counsel of Internal Revenue, trying cases before the tax board, Mrs. Jones moved to Washington, where, in addition to a number of other undertakings, she has been engaged as publicity representative of the United States Sugar Assoclation and the Amer- ican Chamber of Commerce in Cuba. Approached for an interview in her ‘Washington office, Mrs. Jones expressed some of her well determined principles and convictions with the same emphasis which she has displayed in her public enterprises. “First,” she said, “I do not believe in playing up a woman in public life, just because she is a woman, any more than you would a man occupying the same position and doing and saying the same things. I do not think there is any difference in the intellects of the two sexes. But a woman is handi- capped greatly by her physique. A man may frequently remain calm and eon- tained in business matters, where a woman, more emotionally constructed, n.ay find it difficult. Against Hard-Boiled Type. “But I am dead set against being the hard-boiled, sophisticated type of business woman. I think a woman should keep herself attractive and feminine in her professional career and I have always made it my ambition to work for truth and principle and never descend to the personal side, which, as FPree State, never “I g the glo- rious past nor ever idoning hope of revision of the treaty of Versailles ‘80 that may return to the Ger- a rule, the world believes is a feminine falling. ‘That 1s why T refused to answer Senator Walsh question about MRS.

I did not wish to become involved in Relative to the work of the lobby investigating committee, Mrs. Jones continued, “it is unfortunate that the word ‘lobby’ in public opinion, is syno- nymous with dishonest methods of se- curing legislation. Our democratic government, from the time that Benja- min Franklin spent 15 years before the Revolution, lobbying in England for the Colonies, rests upon the expression of the wishes of the governed. The Bos. ton tea party was a publicity stunt the Constitution itself was put over with a series of publicity articles writ- ten by Hamliton, Madison and John Jay. I came to realize while on the witness stand, that the committee was trying to bring out the value of open dissemination of accurate facts in a good cause. Ridiculous Questions. “It is really ridiculous,” laughed this candid, blue-eyed woman, who knows what she believes, and is unafraid to say 80, “some of the questions which have been asked me regarding my attitude on the sugar tariff. One person, who wished ot endow me with super-femi- nine qualities, asked if it were not be- cause as a housewife I was interested to see the price of sugar lowered. “Others believe that my only interest is in the fact that I have been paid big salaries by sugar producers. None of this is so. I am interested in the reduction of tariff on Cuban sugar be- cause I think it is actually immoral of this country, which stands in posi- tion of creditor to the rest of the world, to place about itself such a high tariff wall, that it makes it impossible for other countries to sell their goods and thus pay off their debts. I have always believed in low tariff and particularly for Cuban exports, considering that Cuba takes 80 per cent of its imports from the United States. “As_far as concerns the statement that I am interested because of the high salary which I have been paid, I state firmly that no matter how much money I was offered, I would never work for & concern or an enterprise with whose principles T did not agree.” Mrs. Jones' office force is composed of women entirely. “I have made a rule never to em- ploy & man in any of my organizations,” she said. “Not because I think women are better workers—in fact, I might frequently rather have a man in my employ—but I have so much that I can hand_over to younger, ambitious girls that I have learned in my life’s strug- gles 8s a business woman and a mother. any personalities.” WELL KNOWN VIRGINIA WOMAN, 80, SUCCUMBS Mrs. Eliza Moore Carter Was Wife of Distinguished Confederate Soldier.

Mex., an- “nounc!d here today that John Gaw Meem of Santa Fe had submitted the ! winning architectural design for the ! museum and laboratory. The first unit |1s to be built in the Spring with funds | donated by John D. Rockefeller, jr. | " The project, when all 10 units are completed, will provide laboratory facil- ities for the study of American Indian | life, museum exhibitions, libraries, lec- | ture halls and facllities for graduate | instruction in archeology, as well as | public education in the history of America's native races. It will be on the outskirts of Santa Fe, in the heart of the cliff-dwelling area. ‘The announcement said the trustees wished to supplement the efforts of other scientific agencies in the South- west, and the laboratory also would ald the welfare of surviving native races through medical and social research. Mr. Rockefeller has donated $200,000 {for the construction and equipment of | the first unit, which will comprise ad- ministrative offices, exhibition halls, laboratories, studies, an assembly hall and lounge and library. He also will contribute the income from a $300,000 fund toward the laboratory’s budget for flve years, it was announced. Mr. Meem's design follows the so- called “Santa Fe” type of architecture —long, low and rambling. John V. Van Pelt of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Archi- tects conducted the competition for plans for the group. The Laboratory of Anthropology was incorporated in New York in 1927 by R. B. Dixon of Harvard, Kenneth M. Chapman of the Indian Arts Fund, F. W. Hodge of the Museum of the American Indian, Neil M. Judd, Smith- sonian Institution; A. V. Kidder of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.; Sylvanus Griswold Mosley of Carnegie Institution of Washington and Clark Wissler of the Museum of Natural His- ry.

Such & situation should not be permitted to happen, he pointed out, in referring to the probability of a long and protracted delay in resuming them. To meet the situation, Bishop PFree- man said, the executive committee of the Washington Cathedral committee had worked out a plan for the organi- zation of a woman’'s committee to co- operate in the campaign. This. proposal, put before the com- | mittee in the form of a resolution by Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, was unani- mously adopted. It pledges the Wash. ington committee to allow any neces. sary adjustments of relationship to or between existing committees to be left to the bishop and the dean with power. Dean Bratenahl Presides. The Winter meeting of the Washing- ton Cathedral committee was held at the residence of Dr. William C. Rives, 1702 Rhode Island avenue, during the afternoon. Its 200 or more members comprise pioneer workers in the build- ing of the cathedral, out of whose organization grew the national com- mittee. Dean G. C. F. Bratenahl pre- sided in place of Mrs. Rives, chairman of the committee. One of the purposes of the meeting was to hear for the first time a description of the architectural beauty of the cathedral and the prog- ress of the work from Philip Hubert Frohman of the firm of Frohman, Robb & Little, architects of the cathedral. The speaker illustrated his talk. Both Bishop Freeman and Canon Stokes emphasized the need of the cathedral keeping pace with the $200,- 000,000 building program of the Federal Government and other projects, such as the Mount Vernon Boulevard, so that the cathedral could fulfill its part in the celebration of Washington's birth anniversary. “It is tight and proper to hold a great religious service in Washington then,” said Canon Stokes, “and there will be no place to hold such a meeting indoors during the Winter unless we carry the cathedral construction for- ward.” Completion of the two transcepts by that time would provide l@l'.ln’ accom- modations at the cathedral for 2,500 persons, Bishop Freeman said, with standing room for nearly 7,000 others. He declared that when all views are summarized the one note sounded is that the success of the project is indis- pensable to the Government in con- nection with the Washington celebra- tion in 1932. “This is the opinion that prevails among the 25 big men connected with the cathedral committee,” he said. “The need for a forward movement was never greater than it is now.” The meeting yesterday was held on the anniversary of the birth of the late Bishop Satterlee, under whom the early Many Reduced to.... 1930—PART _ONE.

EISEMAN'S Seventh and F Sts. MISSING FLYERS REPORTED SAFE: Capt. ‘Reid and Passenger Land Cabin Plane at Unalak- leet, Message Says. By the Assoclated Press, FAIRBANKS, Alaska, January 11— Capt. Reld and his two passengers, | William H. Hughes and Jim Hutchinson, | missing since they took off a week ago from here for Nome, arrived in their big cabin plane safely today at Unal: kleet, Norton Sound, Maj. H. C. Deck- ard radioed here from the trading post at Nulato. They succeeded in getting the ship in air again today. ‘The message did not state where the trio had been stranded, Unalakleet is | about 150 miles across Norton Sound from Nome, south of a direct air line from here to Nome, and the plane may have been down out on the ice or inland. Maj. Deckard was with Matt Nieme- nen, Alaskan pilot, and Sam Macauley, mechanic in the other cabin plane which took off at the same time as Reid’s plane last Saturday for Nome to ulrc?\ for Pilot Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland, missing_since November 9 last. Niemenen lost Reld in a blizzard | which they encountered after flying more than half the distance. Nieme- nen landed his plane safely at Nulato. ‘more than 300 miles west of here, about 100 miles northeast of Unalakleet. ‘The planes which Reid and Niemenen were flying were two of three Fairchilds brought north to engage in the search for Eielson and Borland, Alaskan avi- ators, who disappeared while flying from Teller, Alaska, to North Cape, Siberia, where the fur-trading ship Nanuk is locked in the ice. The third plane was cracked in an attempted take-off here. Since last Saturday when Reid was lost in a blizzard, weather conditions here and at Nulato prevented an air search for the missing men. Meanwhile no progress has been made for several days in the Eielson-Bor- land search except for the use of dog teams. Adverse weather also has kept Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gillam, who_are at the Nanuk, from doing much scouting. Reld's plane was well provided for emergencies. It carried sufficient food to sustain the three occupants for a period of five weeks and the men were equipped with heavy Aretic clothing and sleeping bags. They also an alcohol stove. ALTITUDE FLYERS LOST. Pilots and Plane Sought in Four States ‘Without Result. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 11.—With only one tangible clue—that a heavy-motored airplane apparently lost in the fog had passed over an airport in Connecticut— more than three dozen planes scoured a wide area today in quest of two flyers who went up on an altitude flight yes- terday and did not return. ‘The two men, Danlel Marra and Willilam Kirkpatrick, were belleved to have been caught by a cross wind and, hampered by poor visibility, to have lost their bearings. They took off from Farmingdale, N. Y., yesterday morning ; to determine the altitude capacity of a six-place cabin monoplane owned the Fairchild Airplane Manufacturing | Corporation, a unit of the Aviation | Corporation, No Word From Plane. ‘They had expected their flight to re- quire only an hour or two, but the| afternoon and there was no| word of them. Last night the Aviation Corporation sent out a radio appeal to | ships along coast, but without result. This afternoon word was received of a plane that passed over the airport at Bethany, Conn.. yesterday morning when the fog ceiling was only about | 100 feet high. Persons at the field could not see the ship, but judged from | the sound that it was a heavy-motored | craft. They heard it circle once over the airport as if seeking a break in the fog to find a landing place, and then it proceeded toward Clinton, Conn., on Long Island Sound. A check at nearby airports failed to disclose any planes missing. Search Four States. A systematic search was begun today over four States and out to sea, under the direction of M. C. Baird of the Fairchild Corporation. Baird, basing his theory on wind conditions and the plane’s direction and fuel supply, ex- cathedral program was launched. In his lecture on the great building, de- signed as a “place of worship for all eople,” Mr, Frohman said it was large- y due to Bishop Satterlee that the English Gothic style of architecture was adopted for the cathedral. This type of architecture, he said, was more representative of the Anglican Church than that of the Renaissance period. Although the fourteenth century Eng- lish Gothic architecture employed in the bullding of the Washington Cathe- dral is more conservative, he declared it is more representative of the vitality of the church than any other. Mr. Frohman said it is hoped soon to have the whole choir illuminated at night, and by 1932, he said, both trans- cepts will be lighted, making a singu- larly beautiful sight.

By the Associated Pres: LEAVENWORTH, Kans., January 11. —The application of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Arctic explorer and oil promoter, for a release from the Federal Peniten- tiary here will come before the Prison | Parole Board, which convenes tomorrow. Dr. Cook’s case is among 1,200 to be considered at the session here. Indications have been given recently that there is no opposition to the grant- ing of a parole to Dr. Cook, who entered the penitentiary April 6, 1925. If his release is recommended he probably would be freed within a month or so. No announcement is expected here of the action taken by the board, as such information is made public in Washing- on. Dr. Cook has become eligible for a parole hearing, having served the mini- mum time required of his sentence of 14 years and 9 months imposed at Fort Worth, Tex., by Federal Judge Killitts of Ohio, in 1923, for using the malls to defraud in his oil promotions. Federal Judge Wilson of Fort Worth, who has contended Cook's sentence was too severe, attempted to free him 18 months ago on a probation order, but higher Federal courts held that a judge could not grant probation after service of the sentence had begun. Judge Kil- litts sat in Judge Wilson's place in the Cook trial. In addition to the prison term, Dr. Cook was fined $12,000.
