Dr. Welch has reached his 80th year and :uwholl Nation joins in good ‘wishes to him. “Dr. Welch is our greatest statesman in the field of public health, and his public service to the great Nation well warrants our appreciation of him. With profound knowledge, and skill in dealing with men, sound judgment and a vision of the future, he has been a great asset to the Nation, and we may fortunately hope that he will continue for many years more to bless mankind with his invaluable lead- ership. _“Our age is marked by two tendencies, the democratic and scientific. In Dr. ‘Welch and his work we find an expres- sion of the best in both tendencies. He ot only represents the spirit of pure science, but constantly sees and seizes opportunities to direct its results into service of human kind. “Medicine until modern times was a species of dramatic play upon emotions rather than a science made useful through technology. It combined cen- turies of experience in trial and error in reactions from many drugs, with & maximum of skill on the part of the practitioner in a kindly art of making the patient feel as hopeful and com- fortable as possible while he was dying of which was as yet undiscovered.

Made Valuable Discoveries. “Modern medical practice, however, is based upon a vast background of scientific research and discovery. In the creation of this science, in the con- version of its principles into technical methods for use in actual practice, in the diffusion of knowledge of these prin- ciples and metheds, and in the applica~ tion of them upon a national and world wide scale, Dr. Welch has played a lead- ing American part. As a research worker in pure science, he has made original and valuable discoveries. As a technologist he has devised practical methods of applying pure science. As a teacher he has spread true knowledge and inspiration among thousands. But in organizing and directing research and application of medical knowledge on a wider fleld of prevention of disease, he is among the pre-eminent few who de- serve the title of statesman “No valuable change in every-day practice of any of the great arts has even been made that was not preceded by the accretion of basic truths through ardent and painstaking research.

STEEL FIGHT RESTS ON SESSION TODAY Youngstown Stockholders Meet to Vote on Merger With Bethlehem. By the Associated Press | YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, April 8--The meeting of the stockholders of Youngs- town Sheet & Tube Co. to vole on the merger with the Bethlehem Steel Cor- | poration opened at 10:45 am. today. while at the same time a hearing was begun in Common Pleas Court to pre- vent the voting of 51,038 shares of Sheet & Tube stock held by Otis & Co. of | Cleveland. | Luther Day of Cleveland, attorney for | Otis & Co., said he would ask a tem- i porary restraining order to block the DANIELS INSISTS BEFORE SENATORS RASKOB SHOULD GO (Continued From First Page.) Montana, a Democrat, who was acting as chairman of the committee today in the absence of Senator Caraway. Senator Robinson suggested that it was rather extraordinary that Senator Walsh, a Democrat, should be unwilling to have such a distinguished Democrat as Mr. Daniels express his views before the Senate committee. Walsh Blocks Answer. Senator Walsh said that Mr. Daniels would not be permitted to reply to the question asked by Senator Robinson. “Not if I can help it,” continued Sen- ator Walsh. “Apparently the question has no relation to anything that, this | committee was created for.” Senator Robinson then changed his question so as to ask whether Mr. Daniels believed that the facts set forth in the editorial which he had read were HOLDS SEA ORDER ENDED RACE TESTS Al Wiliams Testifies New Duties Would Have Halted Mercury Project. | The seaplane development which he had carried on almost single-handed for | nearly flve years would have to be | abandoned if he were ordered to seg {duty and he therefore resigned from | the Navy, Lieut. Alford J. Williams, jr., famous Navy racing and acrobatic pilot, today told a subcommittee of the Senate committee on naval affairs. Funds raised for the development of the Mercury racing plane which he built to represent the United States in the Schneider Trophy races last Fall would be thrown away if this work were abandoned, he declared. “I decided when I was ordered to sea duty by the Wavy Department last ll'l'llll’lth," Lieut. Willlams said, * “that | there was no hope of continuing this | work at all if I obeyed the order, which | assigned me to sea duty for three years. 1 realized that absence for that length of time would mean the utter loss of the project. Aviation progress is too rapid today to permit standing still for that length of time.” Obligated to Backers. Lieut. Willlams said he felt an obli- gation to the small group of private citizens, who have financed his project to carry the work through to a con- clusion. He sald he feels if he con- tinues work on the Mercury racer for another year he either could carry it to a successful conclusion or determine definitely that the plane is worthless. Lieut. Willlams declared the Mercury Flying Corporation, a private non- profit-making corporation, com| d largely of his personal friends, had planned to donate the Mercury racer to the United States Navy upon the conclusion of the tests. ‘Today's hearing was confined to the questioning of Lieut. Willlams by mem- bers of the committee on the history of speed plane development by the Navy Department and himself during bis dis- tinguished 13-year career as a naval aviator. No other witnesses were called today and the hearing was adjourned shortly after noon untll 10:45 am. tomorrow. The Navy Department was repre- — | sented by David 8. Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, and Comdr. John Towers, acting chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. Considers Development Necessary. Lieut. Willlams told the committee that he is convinced personally of the necessity for speedplane development if the United States is to maintain its place in the aeronautical world. Such development is necessary, he believes, not only for military aviation but for | commercial air transport as well. He told of the part he played as a Navy pilot in speedplane development |and competition in the Pulitzer and Schneider speedplane classic over a period of nearly 10 years. The Navy Department. he testified, took part in these contests until 1926, when, following the Schneider trophy contest at Norfolk, Va., a change of feel- ing became apparent among Navy officials. “The question arose. the Army and Navy had any business STAR, WASHINGTON, INDITENTS MADE FOR NGER SALES 35 Charged With Conspiracy After Outbreak of Partial Paralysis in Kentucky. By the Associated Press. COVINGTON, Ky., April 8.—Federal law enforcement agencies moved today to remove the source of what health officers believe to be the cause of the recent outbreak in Kentucky and other States of partial paralysis—adulterated jamaica ginger. Following the voting of 35 indict- ments by a Federal grand jury here for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws, two Federal officers today were on their way to Eastern cities to serve capais warrants on indicted officers of various concerns charged with manu- facturing or distributing the product. Officials of firms in St. Louls, Phila- delphia, Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, Ky., Boston and New York were named in the indictments, it was announced. Sawyer Smith, Federal district at- torney, declared Government chemists have found that denatured alcohol was the principal ingredient of the ginger concoction, with castor oil used as a solvent. He declared manufacturers have profited as much as $1,700 a barrel on the product. Among those named, according to information given out following a re- port to Ernest Rowe, Louisville, acting Kentucky-Tennessee prohibition ad- ministrator, are Forest James, L. A Hill and J. C. Boyd, officers of the PFulton Chemical Co.. New York City: officials of the Elon Co. Brooklyn; officials of the Hub Products Co., Bos- ton: Frank E.

More than 300 cases of the partial paralysis, subsequently diagnosed by Kentucky health board officials as mul- tiple neuritis, have been reported to the board.

By the Assoclated Press. Scandals in the leases of post office buildings throughout the country, said to be costing the Government millions annually, were charged by Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, in a speech today in the Senate assalling the St. Paul Commercial Station lease. Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon- sin, offered a resolution calling for a Senate investigation of the post office leases. His resolution charged that “fraud, misrepresentation and corrup- tion” had entered into the negotiations for the leases Senator Nye called upon the Senate to adhere to a provision in the House appropriation bill for the Post Office Department which struck out the $120,- 000 fund for rental of the St. Paul Commercial Office. Calls Situation Rotten. “The story at St. Paul smells to high heaven,” Nye told the Senate. “If all other post office building leases are on a par with that at St. Paul the situas tion is rotten and unconscionable. It is a story that possibly rivals the Tea- pot Dome and other naval ofl reserve leases. “I remember a Mr. Fisher who was in igator for the Senate lands com- mittee who told me frequently that ff Congress would go into the Post Office leases it would uproot a scandal that has fastened itself upon the Government over a period of administrations. Mr. Fisher died suddenly about two years ago and under circumstances which some people believed very suspicious.” Senator Nye said that in 1920, the Government "entered into a contract, without open bidding, for the construc- tion of a sub-station in St. Paul. The contract provided that the Government would rent the building for 20 years at an annual rental of $120,775. Recommends Reduction. In a letter read to the Senate by Senator Phipps, Republican, Colorado, Postmaster General Brown today sug- gested that the Senate cut down the appropriation for rentals for post office buildings by $60,000. He estimated this sum of $60,000 could be saved in the rental of another building at St. Paul. Senator Phipps said the St. Paul lease was now before the courts. Both he and the Postmaster General urged that | Congress not take action, as was done by the House, to cancel the lease while way. In his statement, Hanson, whose "client is urging congressional approval of a park-power development project in the Great Falls area, charged that the Jadwin report was suppressed notwith- standing the fact that Gen. Jadwin was chairman of the Planning Commisison at_the time. Representative Cramton today denied that the Jadwin report was suppressed it was before the court. Senator Nye | insisted the situation existing at St. | Paul was applicable to other cities. | “Both the Government and the public | are bein duped,” he asserted, pleading | for a Senate investigation. “It does not { lie at the door of any one administra- | tion, but covers them all.” PENNSYLVANIA VOTES tions, with its drama of . | : mgfi“’?a F R N2 | Swarajist, or Indian Nationalist, was and said that he had caused to to_watch developments have | representing the United States in such | printed in the Congressional Record all voting of this stock. powerful and sure method of nature 1. he‘):ls;r.

Dr. Welch was born in Norfolk, Conn. | His father and four uncles were physi- cians. A grandfather and a great- grandfather also had been physicians. He entered Yale at the age of 16. graduating in 1870, and four years later at the College of Physiclans and Sur- geons in New York. The pioneering work Dr. Welch. began in 1877, when he started fz:&hz pathology at the Belle- H ‘}"‘:‘k. P a study tour abroad and familiar with the new scientific technique which had led there to the discovery that infectious diseases were caused by germs, he introduced at Bellevue. the laboratory methods which Jaunched a new era in medical educa- tion in this country.

Eaton, Cleveland | financier directing the struggle to pre- | vent the consolidation, lost his fight to stop today's meeting, he reiterated his claims that he and his associates “are absolutely confident of defeating the | proposed merger.” Those urging the | consolidation likewise were confident of victory. Eaton proved a sensational witness in | Federal Court late yesterday, telling of the ramifications of his huge operations in holding companies and in the steel industry. He declared that passing of control of Sheet & Tube to the East would “make clerks of all of us in the Middle West,” told of reports that Eugene C. Grace, president of Bethle- hem, draws a salary and bonuses of $1,000000 a year and that some vice presidents of the same corporation re- ceive $300,000 annually, and said the merger was decided upon at a date too late to allow sufficient examination of its advantages. Approval of holders of 800,000 of the approximately 1,200,000 shares of Sheet & Tube common stock was needed to fatify the merger. « Attorney Day said an appeal from the decision of Judge Tuttle will be filed today in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati. In the event the stockholders should approve| the merger, the appeal, if granted,, would nullify the stockholders' act. If the vote is close or the contest becomes shw, the count may take sev- eral days, with possible further court action, it was said. BAND CONCERT.

With a smile Sen- ator Walsh continued that he had a high regard for the opinions of Mr. Daniels, not seeking opinions. Senator Robinson said he would not press the question. He asked Mr. Daniels whether it were not true that the Association Against the Prohibiion Amendment. has already set up three headquarters in Philadelphia to take part in the primary election there and in an effort to make prohibition a domi- nant issue. “I do not know,” said Mr. Daniels.

He testified he was granted seven months’ leave by the Navy for develop- ment of the plane, four months of this time being due him as accumulated leave. He raised private capital amount- ing to nearly $70,000 and formed the Mercury Flying Corporation, he said. He then told in detail of the difficulties encountered in development of the plane,. which in practically’ every re- spect was a pioneer effort. Developing His Plane. While the question of his assignment to sea duty came up, he told the com- ittee, and it was with great difficulty that he obtained authority to remain ashore and continue the work. In response to questions by Senator Tydings, Democrat of Maryland, chair- | man of the subcommittee, Lieut. Wil- liams said that he should have had sea duty beginning about 1922 but that this had been postponed so he could con- centrate on racing plane development. In 1927, when the question of sea duty again was raised, he said, he was permitted to remain ashore and con- * tinue the work only because of the ac- | tive_support of Rear Admiral Willlam | A. Moffett, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The question of sea | duty was left open, he said, until the | conclusion of his work of rebuildin | the Mercury racer for the 1929 Schnei- | der_races. | He then raised another $30,000 of pri- | vate capital and began rebuilding the . plane at the Philadelphia Naval Air- | craft Factory. The Yhnc ‘was completed in time for tests last August at the United States Naval Academy, Annapo- ‘lis, Md. These tests failed, he said, | principally because the plane was greatly overweight. He said he called upon Comdr.

Both Conservatives and Liberal party leaders approved the prime minister's stand, and Mr. Locker-Lampson with- drew his motion, which was made in the absence of Sir Austin Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin, who generally are responsible for Conservative party pro- cedure. A statement of David Lloyd George, Liberal leader and formar coalition premier, in the course of debate at- tracted considerable attention. He de- clared: “It is very important that we should know what we are being com- mitted to, because these commitments are matters of peace and war. There has been a good deal of discussion as to whether or not we were committed in 1914. If we were we were committed to something which was very vague, but where .t was a question of honor, whether there was a real commitment or not, we gave the benefit of the doubt to the others We don’t want {hose conditions to rise again. We don’t want any commitment by which the French will assume we have incurred certain to:lik!tlnm which we did not intend to cur.” OPPOSE FOUR-POWER PACT.

PARIS, April 8.—Predictions were : heard in responsible circles today that | the Five-Power Naval Conference at London would have as its principal ac- | complishment a three-power limitation accord to which France and Italy later can adhere. | Today as Artistide Briand, French prime minister, entrained for London, there were clear indications that France would hesitate to sign a treaty which would .leave ltaly outside, and place Italy, neighbor to France, in an iso- lated position with reference to the other great powers. Many Prenchmen, it was said, would think it unsound politics to have France adhere to a treaty at London, even: it that were possible, and thus five Italy the impression she was being left out. particularly since France de- sires to find a solution fer such out- standing questions as the status of Italians in Tunis and rectification of the southern frontier of Tripoli. man of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission at the close of | the last fiscal year, it is to be presumed | that he could have secured the in- | clusion of any minority statement he desired in their report for that fiscal | year. Evidently he did not care to em- | phasize his opposition to the views of | the other 10 members of the commission to that extent. Certainly until Gen. Jadwin indicates some feeling that his } views have been ‘suppressed’ by the | Planning Commission, Mr. Hanson does not need to worry about it. | “So far as the House of Representa- tives is concerned, the views of both Gen. Jadwin and Maj. Somervell were brought to the attention of the House as fully as possible before H. R. 2 the bill in controversy. for the estal lishment of a park at Great Falls, came up for consideration in the House. The | bill was considered in the House on Thursday, January 30. In the Col gressional Record of Tuesday, Janua 28, and again in the Congressional Rec- |ord of Thursday. January 30, appears the Gen. Jadwin statement in full, once | inserted at the request of Representa- tive Wilson of Louisiana and again at | the request of Representative McDuffle of Alabama. “In my principal address on this bill in the House on Monday, January 27, I referred to the views of Maj. Somer- vell and placed in the Record in full the letter of Maj. Somervell to Repre- | sentative William E. Hull of Illinois, in which letter was thus first given to the | public by me the $100.000,000 waste conclusion of the majcr. Both the Jadwin and Somervell views were, therefore, before the House, and not- withstanding on Thursday, January 30. the House proceeded to pass H. R. 26 by a vote of 199 to 24. Hearings Year Ago. “I have wondered that the power | company that is fighting this park bill | has not made -complaint at the ‘sup- 'pression' of the Hanson views with ref- erence ta H. R. 26. The identical prede- cessor of this bill was the subject of hearings in the Seventieth Congress, a year ago, before the committee on pub- lic buildings and grounds of the House and the committee on the District of | Columbia of the Senate, both hearings being publicly announced in advance, but no one appeared in opposition to ;;le bill and the views of Mr. Elisha Corporation, appear to have been ‘sup- pressed’ at that time. In this Congress nounced public hearing before the com- mittee on public buildings and grounds i of the House and also the committee ool on rules of the House, in December, ‘192!. and January, 1930, respectively, {of the Potomac River Corporation con- tinued to be ‘suppressed.’ One may have a suspicion that Mr. Hanson thought that his own quiet and unobtrusive per- sonal activities had killed the bill, but this did not prove to be the case, and it was not until the bill had passed the House and was pending before the Sen- ate committee that attorney for the Potomac River Corpo- ration, gave any public expression to his very definite and positive, but not disinterested. views concerning the pr posed park at Great Falls. It is ap- parent that the real ‘suppression’ of views in connection with this legislation has to do with the Elisha Hanson views, which were only presented publicly to Congress after he was surprised by the it victory gained by the legislation in the House and driven to abandon his | old: more_unobtrusive methods and take up a public activity in behalf of his cor- poration.” Say Bean Crop Is Largest.
