2 HOP WITH SILVER FOR PARTY DENIED Story of Sending Army Plane €5 “Save” Davisan Dinner Is Called Fiction. Stories of a death-defying flight at dusk through & heavy fog to carry sil- verware from the National Capital to the Long Island estate of F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics, to “save” a dinner party, are branded by War Department offi- clals as pure fiction. According to the story, which was sent out from New York, ths Davisons were giving a dinner party at their Sands Point estate Wednesday night and_had invited a number of distin- guished guests. Just before the guests began to arTive, according to the story, it was discovered there was not suffi- clent silverware. Mr. Davison, accord~ ing to the tale, thereupon telephoned to his home in this city and ordered that the necessary tableware be sent to Bol- ling Field, put aboard an Army plane and flown immediately to Mitchel Field, Long Island. Forced Down by Fog. The stories then went on to say that Lieut. W. J. Willls, Army Air Corps, in the role of a modern Paul Revere, | dashed out by air into the gathering gloom to rescue the dinner party. Wil- lis was forced down by fog at Trenton, N. J, and, so the stories stated, the siiver aid not arrive. As a matter of fact, it was stated at the War Department, Secretary and Mrs. Davison were in the National Cap- ital Wednesday night and had been for some time. There was no dinner party, and there were no plans for a dinner party at Sands Point. Lieut. Willis' fiight from Bolling Field to Mitchel Field was in the ordinary line of duty. He carried no silverware. When he encountered fog in New Jer- sey, he landed at Trenton to await better weather. One Possible Basis for Story. ‘The only possible foundation for the story, according to the War Department, is that several days ago Secretary Davi- son sent a box of, silverware to Bolling Field, with the request that it be taken to Mitchel Field, N. Y., whenever there happened to be a plane which had the necessary space going there on regular duty. He left specific directions that there was to be no special flight. Yesterday morning Lieut. C. W. Cous- land took off from Bolling Field with an LB-6 Keystone bombardment plane which had been ordered “ferried” to Mitchel Field for duty there. The sil- | Vverware was put aboard the plane and flown to New York, arriving at Mitchel Field yesterday morning. -— NEW ZEALAND CABINET ASSIGNMENTS MADE G. W.

S.| Trade as Weapon Against Tariff Threat. By the Associsted Press. NEW YORK, May 30.—Commenting ‘Tuesday on talk of possible European retaliation if the United States raises its tariff, Senator George H. Moses said that “we are not without a weapon if retaliation is the order of the day.” “We can put an embargo on articles and materials which this country alone produces and which they obtain from no others.” Senator Moses made his suggestion in an interview given as he returned with Mrs. Moses from a vacation abroad. He declared, however, that he had heard of ‘“retaliation here and retalia- tion there, but I do not know of any- thing definite save possible reports from France and Canada.” “Why should Europe want to invoke retaliation,” he asked, “when our im- ports from her are $1,400,000,000? If you contrast this immense figure with the $223,000,000 exports from this coun- try on which France would raise a tariff the latter figure is small indeed.” Chanute, Kans., has an absent-mind- ed carpenter.

Be- lieving their cause is best served by time, there are some indications the opponents will seek to defer consid- eration of the treaty until the December session.

Both Senator Watson of Indiana and Senator McNary of Oregon, the Senate Republican leaders, today agreed that adjournment by June 20 is in prospect. It was Senator Watson who informed the Senate yesterday that he “imagined President, Hoover will sign the tariff bill,” and on the basis of that declara- tion the Capitol is assuming that the President will affix his signature to the measure if it ever passes. Once the tariff is out of the way, the Senate will tackle the $120,000,000 rivers and harbors legislation, which already has the approval of the House. Some sharp controversies remain to be smoothed over before this bill can get Senate approval, but its proponents are confident of quick passage. Attitude Ts Unknown. However, President Hoover's attitude on this legislation is unknown. There have been intimations from administra- tion Zeaders in the Senate that the Presielent is displeased.
