PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, May 26.—The Gral Zeppelin will leave Pernambuco ‘Wednesday for Havans. The hour of her departure has not yet been made known. ‘The Graf'sstay in Havana will be short, allowing only time enough to take on provisions. ‘The dirigible will then fly over the Bahamas to Lakehurst, N.

Eastern standard time) and was moored 80 its mast in this city to begin prepara- tlons for flight to North America. ‘Two airplanes of the Aeropostal Co. circled about the great airship as it made for the landing fleld. The Graf first appeared over Pernambuco at 8:25 am. (6:25 a.m. Eastern standard time).

The statistical section of the Internal Revenue Bureau began moving today into the new Internal Revenue Building, at Tenth and B streets. Big trucks of the Office of Public Buildings and Pub- lic Parks of the National Capital, aug- mented by trucks from the Treasury Department, began the work before 8 o'clock, and it was expected that the entire section would be moved into its new quarters before tomorrow night. Edward White, chief of the statistical section, supervised the move from the old quarters in Treasury Annex No. 1, adjacent to the Belasco Theater. ‘The card section with its card-punch- ing machines was the first outfit to be transferred. The 44 machines were among the first equipment moved, and they were placed in & long room on the first floor of the Tenth street side of the building. This room has been soundproofed with acoustic tile, made of um and asbestos, to kill the noise of the machines. Electriclans were busy in- stalling the electrical wiring this morn- ing for the machines, and It was thought they might be ready for re- sumption of work in their new quar- ters some time today., The girls who work the machines were ordered by Mr. ‘White to reron for duty at 1 o'clock.

EUROPEAN FLIGHTS PI.AM NEW YORK, May 25 (P).—Wath 85,000 miles already to its credit and with the same motors it had when commissioned on September 18, 1928, the Graf Zeppelin now faces at least 17 flights in Europe to give it a mileage ©f more than 100,000 at the end of the ummer. The Haml -American Line, book- ing agent for the Graf in America, to- day announced a tentative itinerary which will take the ship to points almost every European country. From July 8 to 11 a northland cruise o the North Cape, at the extremity of Norway, is scheduled. A week later another northland cruise to Spitz- bergen and the week after that a voy- age to Iceland are planned. Flights tc the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas are listed in addition to shorter trips. ‘The Zeppelin has crossed the Atlan- tic five times and the Pacifit once, spanned Europe three times and Asia once, and on the present European- pan-American tour has added the South Atlantic, Northern Africa and Sout} Africa to its log.

SENATE INDORSES RETIREMENT BILL AFTER DALE TALK (Continued From First Page.) of retiring two years earlier than under present law after 30 years of service. The retirement age limits are 70 years for clerks, 65 years for letter carriers and 62 years for railway postal service and those in hazardous employment. Under this bill, after serving 30 years, they could exercise the option of re- tiring at 68, 62 and 60 years. Dale Estimates Cost. Senator Dale told the Senate that the present retirement law, which fixed a maximum *annuity of $1,000 for all employes, would have cost the Govern- ment about $20,600,000 a year during | the next 27 years. He estimated that additional cost of the bill just agreed to would be about $13,000,000 annually, making the total annual cost to the Government about $33,000,000. Senator Dale estimated the gross cost at $40,- 000,000, but explained that there should be deducted from that $5,000,000 a year, i representing the $1 a month contribu- lons of the employes toward the basic annuity and $2,000,000 representing certain forfeiturcs. By deducting these two items of $7,000,000, he arrived at the Government estimated cost of $33,000,000. Senator Dale expressed the hope that the new plan would be for the good of both the Government and the em- ploye, and sald that “under the urge | of the mecessities of aged employes, I offer the pending measure in submis- slve reccmmendation.” When Senator Dale completed his explanation of the bill no one else arose to discuss it and it was declared approved without objection. Those who served with Senator Dale in con- ference were Senators Couzens, Repub- | lican, of Michigah, and McKellar, | Democrat, of Tennessee. —_— Marriage Licenses. plester Green, 34, and Ester Williams, 33; : nay, “Prederick M, Barker, 73, and Catherine T.

DANVILLE, Va., May 26.—An awe-stricken congregation of Primitive Baptists yesterday aft- ernoon heard Rev. A. W. Flinchum inform them from the pulpit in the course of a sermon that he felt that “my time has come,” whereupon he subsided and died within a few seconds. The min- ister was preaching at Mass- Edonis Church, near Wentworth, N. C., at 2:30 o'clock. On reach- ing the pulpit the minister com- lained of feeling {ll and paused or & few minutes.

Scott Mc- Bride, national superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, told an audience in the Westallis Methodist Church last night that the entrance of Dwight W. Morrow as & senatorial candidate in New Jersey might portend the desire of the Republican y to have a wet candidate in readiness for the 1932 presidential race. “Mr. Morrow is internationally known a8 & statesman and is recognized as a very able man,” McBride said. certhinly would rank as sidential calibre. He may win the first hurdle, but as a wet he'd never be elected President.” McBride said he believed Republicans were grooming Morrow as a presidential candidate in the event they interpreted public sentiment as shifting toward modification or repeal of the eighteenth amendment. He assalled Morrow’s prohibition views as “amusing.” “First he wants repeal,” McBride said, “then State optlon with the Feder: Government helping to enforce the ban on border shipments into Etates that vote to remain dry. If he wants to let the wet States be wet, why doesn't he g0 further and let the wet countles be wet? To be logical, and not separate any one from his ‘personal liberties,’ Mr. Morrow should permit villages that so desire to be wet, and carry the plan on down to the individual. Then he wil be back where we started, which is real- ly what the wet leaders desire.” ‘The dry leader said one of tue biggest handicaps the prohibitionists had to overcome was the attitude of newspaper men and the press. “Nearly all newspa- per men are wet,” he said, “and would be glad to see the prohibition amend- ment repealed. They feel that things are livelier under & wet regime, and that they are handicapped under prohibition l!‘rkom finding stories with the color they e.” WILL DISCUSS LIBRARY BRANCH IN GEORGETOWN Mrs. McCormick and Dr. Charles F.

(Continued From First Page) presentation of the candidate's views and the issues involved,” replied Sena- tor Grundy. He said that there had been ex- pended for him a great deal of money on advertising and printing. Questioned by Senator Wagner as to the wisdom of a candidate receiving contributions from a man interested in public utilities amounting to $200,000 or $300,000, Senator Grundy said first that he thought it would “‘unfor- tunate” for a candidate to accept such contributions. Pressed still further, he said that he belleved that a candidate would be “unworthy” to accept such contributions. Senator Nye, chairman of the com- mitee, asked Senator Grundy whether he thought the senatorial campaign or the gubernatorial campal had aroused more interest among the voters in Pennsylvania. “My personal opinion,” said Senator Grundy, “is that the gubernatorial campaign overshadowed all the rest.” Senator Grundy told the committee that he had not been connected with any of the candidates for governor in his campaign for the Senate. He in- sisted that he had made absolutely no contributions to the cause of any can- aldlu for the gubernatorial nomina- jon. Questioned again by Senator Wagner, Mr. Grundy said that he believed any candidate for a senatorial nomination who happened to be president of a raiiroad or president of any other pub- lic service corporation had no right to put up a large sum of money to get himself nominated. “A man of ordinary means would not have a ghost of a chance to win a mnomination in Pennsylvania,” suggested Senator Nye. Senator Grundy replied that the suce cessful candidate for governor, Gifford Pinchot, had expended little, if any, money in his campaign. “He is a man of 'g¢ means,” said Senator Grundy, “but he refused to spend money.” “I remember that this same man mmt nearly $300,000 when he ran for e senatorial nomination four years ago,” countered Senator Dill. Senator Grundy demurred to a sug- gestion by Senator Nye that the State itself might undertake to pay the cam- paign expenditures of the candidates for senatorial nominations. He sald that the State should keep out of it. Davis Takes Stand. Becretary Davis, the next witness, testified that he had ded $4,541.45 during the campaign for his personal traveling expenses, hotel bills, printing and radio. He said that he had con- tributed $1,000 to the State committee backing the Davis-Brown ticket and had pledged $5,000 more. “You were supported by the Vare machine in Philadelphia?” asked Sena- tor Wagner. “I was supported by the regular Re- publican organization of Philadelphia,” said Mr. Davis, “There is no doubt that Mr. Vare was in your corner in this fight, is there?” persisted Senator Wagner. “I talked with Mr. Vare and he said he would support me,” sald Secretary Davis. “When I talked with him he said he was not going to be a candidate and T said that I would go into the T you any idea how much the in. this cam- ner. . Davis, “I told my name must not be used to raise money." Mr. Davis admitted that he would have a share in the responsibility for any money that was used in the cam- pflfll by the organizations which sup- ported him, including the Vare organi- zation. He sald that he had not dis- cussed with Mr. Vare the conduct of the election in Philadelphia. He was asked by Senator Wagner if he did not know there had been charges of corruption in the senatorial cam- paign in Philadelphia in 1926 when Vare was running against former Sen- ator Pepper. “You were mnot indifferent to that, ‘were you?” asked Senator Wagner. “I have always been in favor of clean elections,” replied Mr. Davis. “And I gave the organization to understand that every legal voter in Philadelphia should be permitted to vote.” Mr. Davis said that he had never asked for & contribution by # had never offered it one. “Did Mr. Vare urge you to become a candidate for the Senate?” asked Sen- Bernard Meyers of Lancaster County, State chairman for the Brown-Davis ticket, told the committee it would have to get from Samuel Vauclain, treasurer of that committee, all the detalls of contributions and expenditures for the Brown-Davis committee. Mr. Vauclain was not present. He is & former president of the Baldwin Loco- motive Works. He sald that in some counties of the State the Brown-Davis committee has started proceedings to have the ballot boxes opened for the purpose of a recount, but that such a only in the gubernatorial election and had nothing to do with the senatorial election. “Did you know of funds being raised for the campaign and how they were coming in?"” asked Senator Dill. “No,” was Meyer's reply. clain said the money was comin slowly.” ‘The witness told the committee that he believed the expenditures in the re- cent primary campaign in Pennsylvania had been smaller than ever before, He sald that he had heard reports of ex- cessive expenditures, but they did not check with his own information. Bohlen Spent Nothing. Francis H. Bohlen, a member of the faculty of the University of Pennsyl- vania Law School, who ran for the senatorial nomination on a wet plat- form, said that he had made no per- sonal expenditures or contributed any money o the campaign. He said he ;nddh.d nothing to“do with campaign unds. Asked if he would make the race again, Mr. Bohlen said: “Not in & thousand years.” “Is ¢ use of the result?” “No,” sald the witness. “Under mo clrc‘urmu.ncu would I be a candidate Prof. Bohlen said that a total of about $200,000 had been contributed and ex- pended in the campaign for the wet ticket, which included himself and candidates for governor and lieutenant governor.

Declares Hunt Useless, “It is useless to hunt for the boys in the sewer, anyway.. If they were in there at the time of the storm, -they would have been swept right through to_the harbor.” ‘The boys, Wilbert Alban, 15 years old; Donald Moore, 12 years old; Francis Weldon, 9 years old, and John Kelly, 14 years old, left here at 1:30 Saturday and went to the section of open country near the sewer inlet to play. They had been seen around the section before with other boys, and neighbors reported that they had warned the children to keep away from the sewers. Located in the rear of the lepeny of J. T. Evans, colored, who lives at 784 East Twenty-eighth street, the sewer carries off storm waters brought down the stream valley in the vicinity. The entrance to the sewer is five feet high, running into a bank. ‘The heavy storm Baturday taxed the capacity of the sewer, at one time causing it to overflow. Saw No Boys Nearby. Evans said that prior to the storm he was sitting fac the sewer, but that he had not seen any boys playing near it. He went into the house when it began to rain. According to police reports at the Missing Persons Bureau, when the boys were reported missing, a sister of Wil- bert Alban said that it was thought that her brother had gone swimming at the Beaver Dam quarry with Donald Moore, Moore's father reporting that his son was thought to have gone with Alban. John Kelly, sr., father of John Kelly, another parent, went to Beaver Dam yesterday, but could find no verification of the report that boys had been seen in | swimming there about 3 p.m. Saturday. 40 Injured in Student Riot.
