Nation-wide George Washington bicentennial celebra- tion. which its sponsors declare will be “the greatest celebration thus far known 1n Distory.” It is mot to be heid in one lace, but it will center in the National apital, where the principal events of the 1032 series of programs will occur.

Three permanent memorials to George Washington have been authorized by the Federal Government as part of the 200th anniversary celebration of his birth in the year 1932. They are the Mount Vernon Boulevard, from the Virginia_end of the new 'Arlington Memorial Bridge to Mount Vernon; the yestoration of Wakefield, birthplace of Washington, and the publication by the Government, in at least 25 volumes, of a definitive edition of the writings of George Washington. It is the last of these three perma- nent memorials which the largest num- ber of persons will see and which will doubtless do more than anything_ else ta portray the man “in his true colors” to his fellow countrymen. For the definitive _edition of George Washing- ton's writings will be available not only in_one place but may be consulted by scholars and the public in the future, in ublic and private libraries all over this nd and in other lands. The work of preparing the writings of ‘Washington for publication is an enor- mous task and one that requires the ability of a man who is not only fa- miliar with old letters and manuscripts and the business of publication, but who bas a loving insight into the life and character of George Washington him- self, Dr. Fitzpatrick in Charge. Such a man the George Washington Bicentennial Commission has found in Dr. John Clement Fitzpatrick, for many years associated with the Library of ‘ongress as an archivist, where he had special charge of the Library’s enormous and constantly growing collection of un- published letters of Washington; an au- thor who has written many fascinating works on Washington, and one who has studied the life and character of the first President until he knows him like @ living friend. Since Congress adopted a resolution authorizing the publication of the defi- nitive writings of Washington, the gen- eral public has had a somewhat hazy 1idea of what “definitive,” as used in this resolution, meant. Among the various definitions of the word found in Web- ster’s New International Dictionary are the following: ‘Positive, final, conclu- sive, unconditional, express, complete.” is in all of these senses that the ~word is doubtless used, but probably the “ definition “complete” expresses it better from the general point of view. < However, Dr. Fitzpatrick, who has beca appointed by the George Washing- -ton Bicentennial Commission as the editor of the “Congressional Memorial = Writings of George Washington,” has ¢ Star his own account of the work to be done. “The main literary activity of the George Washington Bicentennial Com- -mission,” said Dr. Pitzpatrick, “will be a publication of the definitive edition of -the writings of Washington. Some pre- ~liminary explanation of this is neces- -sary that the public may understand ~Just what this is and why it is. Not Half Have Been Published. “To begin Wwith, not' 50 per cent of “Washington's writings have been pub- “lshed up to now, although in the 18308 ~Jared Sparks, then president of Harvard ~College, published 12 volumes of ‘Wash- ~ington’s letters, and, 50 years later, Worthington C. Ford published another edition in 14 volumes. “Ford included most of Sparks, but omitted quite a number, while he added many letters that Sparks had failed to print. But both the Ford and Sparks publications, taken together, only print- ed about half of the total number of ‘Wasnington's letters. The Bicentennial Commission will print all the letters used by both Sparks and Ford and all the, as yet, unpublished letters. This will require an edition of 25 volumes (at least) to include all the essential and important letters written by Washington. “The purpose of this, the reason for doing it, is precisely and exactly the purpose and reason for the bicenten- nial celebration, to wit: That George ‘Washington may become better known and better understood by the people of the United States. Hundreds of lives of Washington have been published, and almost all of them have been written from the 50 per cent of the letters printed by Ford and Sparks. Is it any ‘wonder that Washington is only half understood? How can it be otherwise when nearly all biographers have been content to form their judgments from only half of the evidence? All Phases of Life Shown. “All of this evidence would show ‘Washington's entire opinions, thoughts and actions in every year of his life— his farmer days at Mount Vernon, where he was not too proud or haughty to take off his coat and work with his slaves in the hayfields, in building fences or in planting bushes and trees; his war days in the camp of the Con- tinental Army, where he all but fed, clothed and equipped the troops and fought, retreated and fought again un- til vietory was finally won; the presi- dential days, when he had to carry a young, weak and tottering democracy upon his aged shoulders until it was able to stand firmly on its own feet be- fore a cynical world. Washington's work in these things can be fully understood only when all of Washington's letters are in print and available for study. “Included in this definitive edition will be the military orders of Gen. ‘Washington throughout the entire pe- riod of the Revolutionary War, which have never before been published and which will give us a vivid picture of the way in which the commander-in-} chief handied the Continental Army. “Washington is the American ideal of patriotism and citizenship and because of this plain John Smith is never satis- fled; never will be satisfied with any of the biographies of his national saint. Sparks, ‘Life of Washington,’ Marshall's ‘Life of Washington,' Henry Cabot Todge's ‘Life of Washington, Woodrow Wilson's, Owen Wister's and all the others are only Marshall's, Ladge’s and Wilson’s opinion of Washington and what John Smith really wants is John Smith's own opinion of George Wash- ington. “There is only one way for John Smith to get it satisfactorily and that} is to read what George Washington | wrote himself. And John Smith is in-| terested enough to want to read what Washington wrote. That was proven by the way in which the ‘Washington Diartes’ were bought by the public. Greatest American Legend. “Washington is the great American | legend and a legend a nation can be proud of. Every American wants to be a | part of this national legend and this de- | afre, conscious or otherwise, is the main impulse behind the individual interest in George Washington. . “In & man's letters the man himself, the true man, slways stands revealed. He cannot hide himself in them and any complete collection of the letters of a yubjic man inevitably portray that man Ba his true colors. “The George Washington manuscripts 1n the Library of Congress are 98 per cent complete. There are 500 volumes of them and the entire character of George ‘Washington is contained therein. The Cash Register’s “Touch System” Saves Cafe Cash By the Associated Press.

Agreement to Release Draft- ed American Visitors Is Not Put in Writing. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1830, ROME, Italy, May 12.—Thirty Italo- Americans who have been impressed into the Italian army during the last few months will ‘be released and al- lowed to return to the United States immediately as a result of an agree- ment between the American and Italian Governments. Following continued representation from Washington, on behalf of various naturalized citizens who were arrested and forced into service on visits to the “old country,” Italian authorities have decided to allow citizens holding passports of the United States and other countries in North and South America to return freely in future with- out fear of trouble. Sole exception is made in the case of those young men who happen to be visiting Italy at the time their military classes are being called. These will be required to serve in the Italian army if they are of Italian nationality, even though they also hold American’ pass- rts. pom new decision. announcement of which was made last night, applies only to Italians resident in North and South America and is made as a gentle- man’s agreement on Italy's part rather than as & written pact. . CONFEREES TACKLE FLEXIBLE PROVISION Attempt to Reach Compro- mise Will Be Made Tomor- row or Wednesday. By the Associated Press. ‘The Senate-House tariff conferees will make another effort tomorrow or Wed- nesday to reach a compromise - agree- ment in their dispute over whether the fexible visions of the Smoot-Hawley bill shall continue or revoke the Presi- dent’s authority to make emergency im- port duty changes. v This question has produced a wide variance of opinion among the ub- lican conferees. The House bill would have the President retain his power o increase or lower rates by 50 per cent, while under the Senate measure authority would be taken over by Con- gress. Over the outspoken objection of Presi- dent Hoover, the Senate plan was writ- ten into the bill by the coalition of Democrats and independent Republicans ‘when it was In control of the tariff situ- ation, ¢ ‘Texan Warns of Battle. ‘With an historic phrase, Sendtor Con- nally, Democrat, Texas, last night served warning that any effort to eliminate the Senate provision would be determinedly contested. “We propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all Summer,” he said. “The Senate amendment restoring to Congress the tariff-making power isab- solutely fundamental. If the tariff bill passes, it must restore to the represent- ativés of the people the right to make laws that govern them.” Administration leaders, he continued, are determined to kill the Senate amend- ment and their “grand strategy” is then to “hammer through the high schedules of the bill” Sugar Schedule Is Reopened. ‘The sugar schedule again came to the front over the week end, with effo for the pur] of correcting an alleged error in calculating the duty on the re- fined product. Rudolph Spreckels, New York refiner and president of the Sugar Institute, issued a statement saying that the bill Temoves present protection on refined sugar and in addition gives Cuban re- fined sugar a premium of 2 cents a hun- dred pounds. His statement was in reply to one by John E. Snyder, vice president| of the Hershey Corporation, Hershey, Pa., which maintains rofineries.in Cuba. Snyder, in a further statement, last night said that the effort to obtain a higher duty on refined sugar was in- tended to make his company “depend- ent upon members of the Sugar Insti- tue for refined cane sugar.” They only furnish-us with the common touch that brings George Washington nearer to us, helps us understand him better and humanizes him. “This is what the ~bicentennial denitive edition of Washington's writ- ings will do. It will give us the whole picture of the man, of his difficulties, is problems and the way in which he met and solved them. And those solu- tions produced the United States of America. This is what John Smith feels is the truth and he is interested in knowing how it all happened. U. 8. to Publish Standard. “The definitive edition of Washing- ton's writings is planned to reproduce every document of importance in pre- senting the complete record. Both Ford and Sparks were limited by the commercial aspect of the work. Fifty years after Sparks, Ford's effort was to better the situation. He succeeded 50 well that his edition at once became the standard; but it is now out of print—so is Sparks’. “Now, nearly 60 years affer Ford, the United States is to publish the abso- lute standard, the final, conclusive and definitive Washington writings, unham. pered by commercial profit or restric- tions of any kind, which will give the geop]e of the United States the true eorge Washington. e last and most important point is this: Congress and the bicentennial commission will create in.this 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth a great revival of interest in George ‘Washington, which is a revival of patriotism, by stimulating the admira- tion of Washington which is always present in the heart of every American. “The celebrations of the year 1932 | will be inspiring,. but the main pur- | pose of it all s to rouse in every one the best of citizenship enthusiasm by recalling the virtue of our greatest citizen. This can be done and will be whole of the man is there: all of his stwength and all of his weakness, though the few weaknesses are nothing to gxigve over; nothing to be ashamed of. done, and what the definitive edition of Washington's : writings will do will be to keep thab enthusiasm alive and warm as long as America lasta,” to reopen it by a concurrent resolution THE EVENI The delegates from the London Naval Conference today appeared before the Senate foreign relations committee and presented the treaty to the committee for discussion.

(Continued From First Page.) the American delegation had been con- ducted with a full conference of the entire delegation, and with the advice of the American naval experts. He highly praised Senator Reed of Penn- sylvania, a member of the delegation, for the work He had done in a minute investigation of the naval problem. U. S. Group Agreed Always. “On every major question,” continued Mr. Stimson, ‘“there was unanimous agreement by the American delegation. There was no important yuestion de- cided in any other way. The Ameri- can delegation knew its own mind and knew it unanimously. This had great effect on the entire course of the con- ference.” Secretary Stimson said that there had been certain differences of opinion among the naval experts on minor mat- ters, but that every one had been given a full hearing with the result that de- cisions were unanimous. ‘The Secretary of State pointed out to the foreign relations committee the difficulties which exist for any inter- national conference for disarmament. In the Washington conference in 1922, Mr. Stimson said the United States had a tremendous advantage in its battleship fleet to offer on the altar of disarmament. He pointed out that the Washington conference had suc- ceed only in reaching an agreement on battleships and aircraft carriers. Efforts to agree on cruisers, submarines and destroyers had failed. The three-power conference in Geneva in 1927 and six meetings of the preparatory conference of the League of Nations, have failed in recent years to reach any agreement on disarmament. Praises Latin-American Pact. Secretary Stmson said, however, that he thought all these conferences were not without accomplishment, since’ ‘the fact that they had been held indicated an’ increasing demand by the peoples of the world that something be done. He ed an agreement reached in 1902 between Chile and Argentina for this | naval limitation. Secretary Stimson stressed the im- portance of limitation agreements, which, he sald, were actually more im- portant than naval reduction because of their beneficial effect on interna- tional peace, terminating naval rivalry and producing greater confidence. ‘The Secretary of State told the com- mittee that the three-power conference in Geneva in 1927 had broken down largely because Great Britain then in- gisted on a minimum of 70 cruisers, with a total of 420,000 tons. Under the London treaty, he sald, these demands had been reduced to 50 cruisers of 339,000 tons, a marked reduction. He sald that the British were not build- ing & navy against the United States; that the figures which they demanded to cover the necessities of the empire. l‘l’lny elderly British admirals, Sec- retary Stimson said, had written to the London Times during the Naval Con- ference, declaring that the British gov- ernment was jeopardizing the empire in offering. to reduce the number of cruisers to 50. Quotes Lord Carson's Criticism. Lord Carson, he said, does not be- lieve that the treaty provides for the building of the kind of ships that Eng- land wants, but rather for the kind of ships that America wants. This criti- cism, Mr. Stimson said, sounded much like criticism made by certain Amer- icans of the treaty who held that the treaty forced the Unitétl States to build the kind of ships Britain wants. “We reached a fair agreement,” said Mr. Stimson. “Neither party over- traded the other. We were trying to reach a fair agreement.” Secretary Stimson then discussed in some detail the five parts of the treaty. ‘The third part provides the naval agree- ment_between America, Great Britain and Japan. The other four parts in- volve all five of the naval powers, in- cluding France and Italy. Part one relates to the battleship holiday and provides for the scrapping of battieships and for the non-replacement of others. Part four, Mr. Stimson said, related to the use of submarines against mer- chant vessels in time of war. He sald that this section of the treaty contains sertain improvements over the provisions made at the Washington conference for the control of submarine warfare, The provision made at the Washington con- ference was never ratified. The pro- visicn made at London relating to sub- marines, Mr. Stimson said, would be ratified, Hopes for Future. In part five which provides for the treaty becoming effective, there is con- tained an important provision providing for another conference in 1935, at which all five powers will be present. “Disarmament cannot be accom- plished by a single act,” said Mr. Stim- son. “It must come step by step as the powers grow more confident. 1t is our hope that the cause of disarmament will receive added momentum from the London treaty and that the conference in 1935 will bring’ further steps looking to disarmament. We went a long step forward at this London Conference in the agreement for a battleship holiday and for scrapping battleships.” Secretary Stimson said he believes it would pe unwise for him to say any- thing about the failure of the three European powers to reach an agreement except to say that the American dele- gation had rendered no more valuable service than when it prevented the con- ference from breaking up in a bad at- mosphere and without any agreement involving all five powers. He said that At one time there had been grave dan- ger that two of the powers would with- draw from the conference. If that happened, he said, Great Britain might have been unwilling to go into the three- gfl“r pact with the United States and apan. Becretary Stimson pointed out that under the new treaty battleship parity between Great Britain ;nd*\e United States provided for in the Washington Dr. Reichelderfer Outlines Purpose Of Clean-Up Week By Dr. Luther Reichelderfer, President of the Board of District ‘Commissioners. Clean-up week should be & period of general civic house- cleaning to promote the health, safety, sanitation and good ap- pearance of the entire com- munity. Individual and community good health depend upon a variety of factors, among which are clean- liness and proper sanitation. Clean-up week aims to clean up insanitary conditions and to dis- pose of accumulated trash and refuse. Clean-up week should not be observed as an isolated period for overburdening the refuse de- partment, but rather as the time to start a gradual and effective cleaning up extending over the balance of the year. It should be an object lesson to remind all of us that high-pres- sure housecleaning is only nec- essary when current cleaning has been neglected. ‘The final aim_ of Clean-up week should be to locate all pres- ent accumulations of trash and waste material, to provide for its disposal and, finally, to so plan and arrange our household activ- ities as to prevent similar ac- cumulations in future.

' The London treaty, he sald, brings about_this parity almost immediately, with Britain agreeing to scrap five bat- tleships and America three. He said, too, that growing out of the London conference had come an agreement by the British not to object further to the elevation of guns on some of the American battleships needed to equalize the strength of the two battleship fleets. The elevation of guns has been pro- tested by the British in the past. Mr. Stimson sald that a letter showing the willingness of the British government to have America elevate the on its battleship would be laid before the committee, “We now have the right to modernize our battleships,” sald Secretary Stim- son, At this point in Mr. Stimson’s testi- mony, Chairman Borah announced that the committee would suspend until to- morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock.

Bishop James Cannon, jr, wired Chairman Caraway of the Scnate lobby committee today that he had personal- 1y received and disbursed practically all funds of the Virginia anti-Smith com- miitee in 1928, but had made no report to Congress, because it was not required by law. The telegram was sent from Dallas, where Bishop Cannon is facing church charges because of his anti-Smith activties. He sald he would be busy for some time, but would appear before the . lobby committee as soon as pos- sible. He will be questioned on testimony by Representative Tinkham, Massa- chusetts, wet, and E. C. Jameson, New York capitalist. Tinkham charged that Jameson had contributed $65,300 to Cannon for use in the Virginia anti-Smith campaign, but that the bishop had reported ré- ceipt of only $17,000. Jameson said he had contributed the $65,000. Caraway announced that a reason- able time would be given the bishop to appear. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH * “SPANKS” PRESS FOR AIRING PARLEY-FIGHT (Continued From PFirst Page.) bishop's administration is subject to re- view in every phase; that every mem- ber of the church has a right to bring before the committee any complaint, and that every conference sees scores of such complaints filed. One bishop, who asked that his name be not used, expressed the opinion that the charges would not be considered seriously either by the committee on episcopacy or by the General Confer- ence. “The General Conference,” he said, “has never been so disgracefully treated as in Dallas,” adding, “higher-ups” were responsible for repeating what was termed “slander.” Both bishops characterized Rev. Mr. Smith as an “honest, but eccentric,” Methodist preacher. When it was pointed out that they previously had palked all attempts of newspaper men t facts from them personally, they declared that they had not paid any attention to the charges or complaints, one bishop saying that they were not charges until brought to the floor of the conference. Meanwhile delegates to the conference today awaited committee reports that promised to result in spirited contro- versy over prohibition enforcement and requested censure of the four bishops. Bishop Cannlon, who is aggressive in his defense of prohibition, also is ex- be accused of maintaining marginal stock accounts in the New York stock market shortly before the recent market collapse. Meeting for the second time since the convention began, the committee on temperance and social service was to consider two recommendations made by the militant bishop. The Washington churchman has recommended that Con- gress be memorialized for more prohibi- tion enforcement legislation, and that the Supreme Court be commended for interpretation of prohibition laws deemed helpful to stringent enforce- ment. Definite disposition of & proposed written constitution for the church is expected early this week. Dr. Walter Anthony of Savannah was to lead the fight against adoption of a constitution of any kind, and delegates freely ad- mitted it was doubtful if the conference would accept one, since a two-third vote of the membership of the confer- ence 15 required. Also pending today was a proposal that tenure of bishops be limited to eight years instead of life.

John Philip Sousa, whose inspiring martial music has been heard through- out the world, smiled a quiet, unper- turbed smile, when informed of the latest order regarding the plans for future military music. “Will Truck Keep in Ste, “Will the truck keep in step, too?”, he smiled, recalling the many dy““ when at the first note of his band, the companies fell into a long rythmical march. “No,” he nodded, “I don’t think there'd be any inspiration to military men marching behind a machine. I don't think that mechanical music could ever produce the same effect upon its auditor as personal music. Then an- other thing, what would the private in the rear ranks think? “I think the private in the rear ranks would want & moment when he could have his cal music on & truck, there would be no necessity to stop the music.” Lieut. Comdr. Sousa, who arrived in Washington to play his latest composi- tion, “The Royal Welch Fusilliers,” be- fore President Hoover, at the White House today, has probably had more experience than any man living in con- nection with military bands and music, and the effect of martial music upon its auditors. For many years conductor of the Marine Band in Washington, he rendered invaluable service during the ‘World War in organizing naval at the Great Lakes Training Station. At one time over 800 were conducted by him in one band. After the war Lieut. Comdr.

I had been very homesick and I think I must have walk- ed the deck at least 300 times, with the notes of the march going through my head. By the time I reached New York T completed the composition.” Another composition of Lieut. Comdr. Sousa, “The Pageant of Atlantic City,' was composed, arranged and published before the composer ever heard a note of his music. “I was at a hotel at the, time,” he explained, “and had no in- strument near me, so I sent the manu- script to the publisher without ever having heard the music.” “The Washington Bicentennial” a march, to be dedicated to the bicen- tennial in 1932, needs but one more strain for its completion, Lieut.

The officers suddenly emerged from their hiding place and opened fire on the robbers. One of them darted into the bed room where Hayes was hiding. Apparently thinking Hayes was another officer, the robber shot him, and then himself was shot as he turned back. One of the slain robbers was identified b{l his fingerprints as Harry White, 38, eged killer and robber, sought in connection with the killing of a victim during a robbery last December. The other was identified by Mrs. Hayes as & man who formerly had worked for her husband. He was discharged some time ago.

NAVSARI, Bombay, May 12 (#).— Abbas Tyabjl, successor to Mahatma Gandhi as head of the civil disobedience campaign, obviously expecting arrest to- day, had prepared a statement for lease to his followers when the police finally came for him. The statement read: “Friends, in one short month the Mahatmaji (a rever- ential name for Gandhi) has succeeded in arousing a desire for complete inde- ndence in the breasts of millions of India's sons, who previously thought, it all, most perfunctorily about it. ‘To all of those who have worked according to the Mahatmaji's instruce ‘tions during the month it is evident no amount of coercion is going to subdue the spirit of the people. There can be no peace in India till freedom is won. I and one and all of my country= men will work out the program chalked out the Mahatmaji with all the intensity of which we are capable. “Keep our flag flying.” TROOPS SENT TO SHOLAPUR.
