TILSON PRAISES HOOVER POLICIES House Leader Says Demo- erats Conceal Facts in Dis- cussing Administration. Democratic leaders have concealed facts in_discussing publicly the first ear of President Hoover's administra- on, Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the Republican leader, rday. In a statement issued through the Republican national committee, Tilson said that “in the welter of discussion in which some of our Democratic friends have been indulging there has been such a continuous concealment of the facts as to make it appear that there has been a studied effort at mis- representation.” Tilson made the statement public shortly after leaving the White House yesterday, where he has been con- valescing since last Tuesday, following & severe attack of the grippe. Clarifies the Situation. “8o that the situation may be clari- fled,” the Republican leader said, “and the record kept straight, I list here some of the highlights of the legisla- tive proposals recommended by Presi- dent Hoover and passed by the Con- ‘The list consisted of six items: The $160,000,000 tax reduction program: the $500,000,000 farm relief legislation; the $230,000,000 public buildings program; the $300,000,000 good roads legislation; the act setting up a permanent Federal radio commission, and the reapportion- ment measure. “Most of these measures have their direct reflection upon business condi- tions, and more especially tax reduction and the buildings and roads bills,” he sald. “These last two measures repre- sent the Government's own part of the very comprehensive program which President Hoover so promptly and energetically set about after the stock market crash last Fall as a means of restoring confidence and alleviating un- employment in the country.” Building Program Cited. The building program would not only mthe Government to proceed with itself throughout the country, ‘Tilson said, but would “furnish employ- ment to many thousands of skilled workers, and along with the construc- tion program of public utilities and other private enterprise will continue 10 augment the improvement already noticeable in the employment situation.” After eight years of delay, Tilson said, the farm relief bill was passed last June along the lines recommended by President Hoover. He added: “This legislation has already brought wd courage to agriculture. An il- tion of the effective assistance of the Farm Board is able to render agri- culture was shown by the prompt ac- tion of the board in the recent embryo wheat panic, which, if left alone, might :ve precipitated & major disturbance ity prices menuy." ‘Yhe public roads would permit to_extend road construction pportionment measure he pointed out as outstanding accomplish- ments and the creation of the commis- sion to study mwllcy toward Haiti | is another, he COMMUNION SERVICE FOR DEAF IS HELD HERE Lutheran Church of Atonement Planning Future Religious Ministrations.

By the Associated Press. D, March 31—The type of shoulder blade a person possesss may hold secrets of considerable value in the study of those factors underlying his health, the length of his life and his adaptability. This is the belief of Dr. Willlam W. Graves, professor and director of the department of neuro-psychiatry, St. Louis University School of Medicine, who is examining blades and other bones in what is said to be the largest and most complete collection of human skeletons in the world, conserved in the Hamann Museum, Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He has classified shoulder blades ac- cording to the contour of their verte- bral borders, which lie adjacent to the spinal column. He has found that the borders of shoulder blades in all accessible races of man, whether ancient or modern, are readily classifiable into convex, straight | and concave types. The three types are found before birth as well as in subsequent life. Convex Mostly in Old. Studying these three types, Dr. Graves has discovered that the straight and concave predominate in frequency of occurrence in the young, whereas the convex predominate in frequency of occurrence in the old. “From my own studies of the living, when chosen at random, in various pe- riods of life from birth to old age, ap- proximately 656 per cent, in the first 10 years of life are possessors of the straight and concave, whereas only 35 per cent are possessors of the convex,” Dr. Graves said. “In all old people, similarly chosen, beyond 65 years of age, only approximately 35 per cent have straight or concave and 65 per cent convex.” Seeking corroboration and explana- tion of these findings, which, Dr. Graves said, are unparalleled by any other fea- ture of man's make-up, he and other workers have found supporting evi- dence for only one explanation. This is “that a large number of possessors of straight and concave than of con- vex types are among persons unduly susceptible to disease, the sick and the shorter-lived individuals of the race.” During 20 years, while Dr. Graves has had several hundred individuals of va- rious ages under continuous observa- tion, he has found that the shoulder blade type in each indjvidual remains unchanged, regardless of disease, flan- dular function, occupation, or a natural of growth or advanc age. Moreover, he has found t the “plus-potentially sick,” in the broad- est sense, such as the feeble-minded, the insane, the tubercular and the groups classified as criminal, show rela- tively large percen of straight and concave shoulder blades than groups considered healthy and normal. Dr. Graves said that aside from the characteristic more constantly trans- mitted by heredity than a shoulder blade type. Power of Heredity. “Obviously, a shoulder blade type cannot have a greater ce for the individual than his heredity,” Dr. Graves said. “The part is never greater than the whole, nor the whole greater than the sum of all its parts., There- fore, whatever type a person may pos- sess he has probably gotten it from his ancestors, and whatever type or any other inherited feature he may have, it is a cause neither for elation or de- pression.” Dr. Graves has examined more than 1,000 families and approximately 15,- 000 shoulder blades of ancient and modern man and other mammals. After spending six months here, he will ex- | amine sections of bones of pre-Colum- bian Indians and other ancient races, holsed in Eastern museums. Comg:etlnl his study of bones, he hopes begin extensive investigations on the listing in reference to shoul- der blade types and co-existence va- riations in their possible bearing upon }amblemx of human heredity, morbidity, longevity and adaptability.

They applauded when he said at a reception: “We admit the Irish are fighters, but they fight from necessity and not through choice. Ireland never has raised an army to invade another country.
