MRS, COOK DENIES SHELL TAKE FLOOR Honorary President General of D. A. R. Will Ignore . Mrs, Hobart’s Stand. Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, honorary President general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, yesterday de- | THE EVENING ' STAR, WA HINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, A PRIL 18, 1930. nied reports that she would take the floor of the congress on a question of personal privilege to answer the decla-| ration of Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart that prohibition has no place in the| affairs or policies of the Continental Congress. The situation assumed major impor-| tance when i, was learned that Mrs, | Hobart's stand is in direct conflict with | the action taken by the 1924 congres: at which prohibition not only was dis- cussed on the floor but was vigorously championed in a formal resolution of the congress. Mrs. Hobart's repudiation of attempts | to bring prohibition to the front was interpreted on the opening day of the session as a rebuke to Mrs. Cook, who earlier in the day had made a ringing| defense of prohibition during the course of her greetings to the congress. Dry advocates in the congress, coming tof Mrs. Cook's defense, dug up from the 1924 records the resolution adopted that year. found on page 543 of the pro-| ceedings. She Ignores Incident. | The Pennsylvania leader explained yesterday that so far as she was eon-| cerned she would ignore the incident and stand on her personal record and that of the 1924 congress, over which she presided as president general. | Whether the present congress without | formal action can repudiate the policy of the previous congress was a question which the parliamentarian must decide, in the opinion of national officer: “I stand on my record of 15 years as chapter regent, three years as State wvice regent, three years as State .regent. and three years as president general,” Mrs. Cook said, “and no explanation is necessary.” T | While the administration steam-roller | robably will succeed in clamping. the id down on prohibition in open session, the declaration of Mrs. Hobart in oppo- sition to any injection of it into the affairs of the congress is having its reaction in cloak-room taik The record of the 1924 congress re- | specting _the prohibition amendment yeads as follows | “The committee recommended the | adoption of this resolution which the | congress voted to adopt. “Whereas respect for law and law observance constitute the cardinal prin- | cipal essential to the perpetuity of the Nation; | “Resolved, That we urge all patriotic citizens to obey the Constitution of the | United States, including the eighteenth | smendment and existing laws enacted | pursuant thereto, to make such amend- | BANDIT CAPTIVE | that of unpaid ransom victim was to be Upper. left to right: Utah and Mrs. Matthew Brewster of Louisiana.

Mrs., Hoover was eliminated by 16 votes under her nearest competitor, Mrs. Ralph Everett Bristol, Utah's first candidate for national office. She stood ninth among 11 candidates for vice| | presidents general. Many delegates un- | doubtedly were opposed to electing two | officers from the same State, despite the fact there are two notable instances ln‘ | the cases of Pennsylvania and New | | Jersey in recent years. These elements, | combined with a split in the California | delegation, undid the work of 1,162 delegates who voted for Mrs. Hoover, when only 905 votes were necessary for | election.

To Install Officers Tomorrow. With pomp and ceremony the newly elected officers will be installed tomor- row at the closing session of the thirty- ninth Continental Congress in Consti- tution Hall. At 3:30 o'clock the president general accompanied by the Daughters, will make a pilgrimage to Arlington Na- tional Cemetery, there to place a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Mrs. Stephen Abbot is chairman of the committee, which comprises Mrs. Will C. Barnes, vice chairman; Mrs. William H. Cudworth, Mrs. Boyce Picklen, Mrs. Donald Macrae and Mrs. W. Z. Stuart. Tonight's session in Constitution Hall | will be the final one devoted to a spe- cial program. The speakers are Frederic willlam Wile of the editorial staff of The Evening Star and political analyst of the Columbia Broadcasting System, who recently returned from the London | nzval conference and will discuss its problems, and Alfred H. Haag, head of the international shipping department of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. The speakers on last night's program, devoted to international problems, were the Princess Cantacuzene, who told of her _experiences in Russia; Richard | Washburn Child, former Ambassador to | Italy, and Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, 8. J,, vice president of Georgetown Univer- sity and regent of the School of Foreign Service. Indorses Hoover Program. A hearty indorsement os the work of President Hoover toward bringing about a reduction in naval armaments of the world, coupled with a demand that America remain “unshackled” by affil- fation with the World Court, was voiced by Mr. Child. In referring to the results of the London Naval Conference, envoy said that “a gain has been made to the credit of this administration.” He added, however, “it is unintelli- gent not to recognize that parity with another naval power cannot be more than a pretense when a superior mer- chant marine can be converted into ships of war.” Mr. Child named the Bremen and the Europa as “potentially unbeatable.” The London gain, he said, was “an honest gift of the world” of illingness to seek for the removal of the burdens f armament.” He urged recognition of t least a partial victory in London.” “There is no reason to delay tonight in renewing assurances of our tribute to ne who worked with zeal and earnest- ness for a great end—the President,” he said. However, urging the duty to keep America_“free and unshackeled for to- morrow,” he spoke in direct opposition to the World Court, for which President Hoover urged indorsement in Monday night's address before the Continental $ the former | Congress. plauded. | He quoted President Hoover as say- | ing, “I believe it is clear that the United | States can more effectively and wisely work for peace without commitments to use coercion and to enforce settle- | ments.” But Child warned: “We may not only commit ourselves in advance to use | coercion in the sense of armed forces and economic boycotts, but we might commit ourself to a minority associ- | ation with a pool or a little League of | Nations” using ‘“coercion of political propaganda.” Declaring it “folly” to join a World | Court if it meant “handcuffing” future freedom, he advised waiting unfil as- | sured “it is a court unhampered by the | mastery of any machinery of the old { political internationalism.” Plea for National Defense. Dr. Walsh, who has addressed the D. A. R. on other occasions on Com- munistic activities, combined his re- marks about Soviet Russia with a strong plea for national defense and the| preservation of American traditions. During. the course of his remarks, | Dr. Walsh made pointed reference to the incident that occurred here when a Baltimore pastor, speaking at a local | church, condemned Army and Navy | chaplains for services in the war.
