'KING PREPARES GREAT GREETING FOR MOTHER Maniu or Jorga May Form Cabinet as Rumanian Ruler Plans Administration. By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 9.—An early reconciliation between the newly installed King Carol II of Rumania and his former wife, Princess Helen, today was forecast in official circles, when « Carol returned their son, Michael, to his mother. Joint coronation of Carol and Helen in October was predicted. In official circles it was pointed out that, with the first interests of the country in mind and strengthened by the intimate needs of their son for a father and mother in the same domi- cile, Carol and his former wife undoubt- edly would adjust their viewpoints to the situation. The King and Princess Helen, who divorced him two years ago, had a long | discussion yesterday on their future mutual attitude, and finally agreed not to demand an annulment of the divorce. Leaves Michael With Mother. The King took Michael, Who is now known as the Duke of Alba Julia, to the Cotroceni Royal Palace. Today, how- ever, the King personally took little Michael back to the Kisseleffl Paiace, Where Princess Helen is staying, and left him there with his mother. The little former king, jusi like ny Plebian child, grew lonesome today for his mama, after spending the night with his royal daddy at the Cotrocent ace. Carol, although he had been installed as king, but & few hours before, found himself the abject subject of his little son, from whom he had been separated for so long. During the last few years, Michael's father had been just a name to him. He was a handsome man, who went away and was somewhere at sea, on a voyage that for some reason Or * another never seemed to come to an end. King Carol, upon going to his son this forenoon, quickly perceived that the young man who had since Ferdi- nand’s death been regarded as a mon- arch, was still just a very small boy, and so he took him forthwith to the ‘Whether Helei"§ decision "wotld be based upon the needs of their child for a domicile with both his parents or the demands of & nation was left to con- Jecture. Only One Opposing Vote. King Carol was proclaimed King by an almost unanimous vote in the Ru- manian parliament yesterday. The only vote cast against him was that of Vintila Bratianu, former premicr and liberal leader, and brother of Ionel Bra- tianu, one time dominant political fig- wre in Rumania. The army has taken the oath of fidelity to the new King and Carol has issued a proclamation to the Rumanian people stating that he had returned to serve his country and making an appeal for all groups to co-operate in the interests of the state. The King went to Curtes last night to visit the grave of his father, King Ferdinand, who died three years ago. He seemed deeply affected as he placed two wreaths on the tomb. He was back in Bucharest this afternoon, re- suming his consultations with political leaders. On his return today, the King was given an enthusiastic reception by the populace. Helen Is Urged to Forgive. Strong emotional and political con- siderations were urged today upon Prin- cess Helen to forget her quarrel with Carol and to share with him the throne of Rumania. She was understood to have viewed and to have been moved deeply by a tremendous popular display in her for- mer husband'’s favor yesterday. Romancers and politicians alike hoped an expression of willingness from her to live again by the side of the dash- ing prince whom she is said always to Jove, despite his preference for Mme Magda Lupescu, for whom he aban- doned his throne and went to Paris. M. Marinescu, who after proclama- tion of Carol as monarch resigned as premier to make way for a government of Carol's choice, talked with Helen. and was believed to have discussed with her possibility of nullification of their divorce. Court officials found that it was granted out of the ordinary term of court and therefore subject to ques- on. O feanwhile the nation’s happiness at the straightening of the dynastic rec- ord and at Carol's return seemed com- lete. Pl There is a possibility that either M. Maniu, who i tremendously popular, or Prof. Nicholas Jorga, Carol's former tutor, will be asked to form the next government. ) In a speech proposing nomination of Carol_as King, Prcf. Jorga declared ~ (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.) CHICAGO CHINESE READY FOR TROUBLE Extra Patrolmen on Guard as Tong Peace Parley Falls Through. By the Associated Press.

FUND DELAY 3T0PS WATER MAIN WORK Department Slows Activity Pending Passage of District Bill. The District water department today | found itself in stringent financial cir- cumstances because of the failure of Congress to pass the 1931 appropriation | bill. | The department’s construction fund, used for service extensions, is exhaust- | ed, and the maintenance appropriation | is barely sufficient to provide emergency | repairs and replacements, which may became necessary before the close of the current fiscal year on June 30. Construction work has been com- pletely halted and nearly 200 per diem workers laid off temporarily, a skeleton | maintenance force is being maintained, | however, but on & five-day-a-week schedule. As the water department's construc« tion fund becomes available immediately | upon the signing of the appropriation bill by the President, it had anticipated its 1931 appropriations several months ago. The bill, however, is tied up in conference, with no definite indication of when it might pass. As a result the water department’s 1931 construction program must be held in abeyance. Unable to Start Work. ‘The policy of making the depart- ment's construction funds available in advance of the fiscal year has enabled it to begin the succeeding year's pro- gram several months shead of a new fiscal year. Thus it was prepared in April to begin work on the projects provided in the 1931 bill, but the de- partment has been unable to proceed on account of the delay. The department’s maintenance fund is budgeted for the 12-month period and its shortage at this time is due primarily to an unexpected outlay dur- ing the year for operating the Bryant street pumping station, which is main- tained on a reserve basis. The aux- {liary pumping station was pressed into service for more than six months, due to a break in the first high-service main when it was put under the new M Street Bridge across Rock Creek. The station also was operated several times during periods of peak consump- tion to maintain sufficient pressure in Mount Pleasant. Although the construction fund is depleted, the department has used its dwindling maintenance fund to make several temporary service connections in outlying sections. These temporary connections are made by running a <mall pipe on the surface of the ground from the nearest main to the house connection. To Reinforce Mains. D. W. Holton, superintendent of the water department, said that as soon as the appropriation bill is passed the fur- loughed employes will be called back to work and the construction program started vigorously. One of the first projects will be a reinforcement of the mains in the fourth high-service area in Tenleytown and vicinity, where pressure is low at periods of peak co sumption on account of so-called “bottle necks” in the existing system. Apartment houses in the Tenleytown section have felt_the effect of the re- duced pressure, Mr. Holton said, and arrangements have been made to press a fire engine into service to keep up pressure when it shows a tendency to drop. New Hampshire Bank Closed. MANCHESTER, N. H., June 9 (#).— The Merrimac River Savings Bank failed to open its doors today upon order of the State Banking Commission. A commissioner visited the bank snd went over its accounts with his assist- ants and bank officials. SOUCEK SHATTERS ALTITUDE RECORD IN'FAILURE' TRIAL Mark for All Types of Air- craft Is Established at 43,166 Feet. CHECK OF BAROGRAPHS REVEALS NEW FIGURES Flyer Believed He Had Exceeded German's Height, but Not Enough to Claim Honors. Official checking of the barographs carried by Lieut. Apollo Soucek on his altitude flight from the Anaccstia Naval Air Station last Wednesday afternoon shows that in reaching the height of 43,166 feet he smashed all altitude records for aircraft of all types and has assured his official world’s record with a margin of 1,044 feet to spare, it was announced today by the Bureau of Standards. The announcement came as one of the greatest surprises in the history of altitude flying in this country, since barograph checking usually reduces the indicated altitude recorded by alti- meters. Lieut. Soucek, following his flight, said that he believed there was a pos- sibility he had exceeded the standing altitude of 41,794 feet established last vear by Willi Neuenhofen of Germany, but he attached so little confidence to this possibility that he immediately made plans to try again, making anoth- er effort, which was unsuccessful, on the following day. Describes Attempts to Rise. Under the international regulations governing altitude records, Soucek had to exceed the old record by at least 100 meters to establish a new official rec- ord. This required that he fly to an altitude of at least 42,122 feet. His altimeter, he said following Wednes- day’s fiight, hovered for 20 minutes be- tween 41,500 feet and 42,000 feet as he tried to force the little plane higher. could not tell exactly. Recognition of the record as official by the Federation Aeronautique Inter- nationale, now regarded as a certainty, will give Lieut. Soucek his second world record. He is holder of the world sea- plane altitude record, made a year ago last Wednesday in the plane he used Jast week, with pontoens replacing the land wheels, ‘This will be the second time_Lieut, Soucek has held the world altitude rec- ord. A year ago last month he estab- lished a new record, which he lost only 17 days later to Neuenhofen. Passes Unofficial Balloon Record. In climbing to 43,166 feet Lieut. Sou- cek passed for the first time in history the unofficial balloon record established by Capt. Hawthorne C. Gray, Army Air Corps, who died on a flight during which a check of his barographs showed he rose to an altitude of 42,470 feet. This record never was official, however, since the rules of the F. A. L. require that the pilot must be in control of his craft upon landing. Soucek experienced the lowest free-air temperature ever recorded in &n air- plane flight. An automatic continuous temperature recorded on & strut of his plane showed a minimum temperature of 67 degrees Centigrade or 9 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, according to Lieut. W. G. Brombacher, chief of the alrcraft instrument section of the Bu- reau of Standards. Calibration of Lieut. Soucek’s baro- graph by H. B, Henrickson of the Bu- reau of Standards, who was official observer of the flight for the Federa- tion Aeronautique Internationale and the National Aeronaute Association, showed he reached a region where the air pressure was down to only 118 mili- meters, Neuenhofen reached & mini- MRS.

The President assured Representative Cramton of Michigan, coauthor of the park bill, of this when the latter called today. Representative Cramton said after his talk with the President that he called at the White House to discuss with the President various matters regarding this important project. He told the President that an appropriate amount of money should be made available without delay so as to permit the starting of the park plan. He suggested that the next deficiency appropriation bill should contain an item for this purpose. He said the Pres- ident expressed himself as being favor- able to the proposition.

PRITCHARD AND BUTLER FIGHT FOR NOMINATION Early Returns Show Nip-and-Tuck Run Between Two Leaders in Four-Way Race. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The Republicans are to make a strenuous effort to elect a Senator in North Carolina to succeed Senator Simmons, according to reports today. The defeat of Senator Simmons in the Democratic primary Saturday by Josiah W. Bailey, takes the veteran Democratic leader out of the race. The belief has existed in some Republican quarters that it would be easier to elect a Republican in a race with Bailey than in a race with Senator Simmons. Political observers are of the opinion that North Carolina will elect Mr. | Bailey to the Senate when November | rolls round. They point out that Sen- ator Simmons already has let it be known that he does not intend to run as an independent and that he will not oppose the regular Democratic ticket, The nominee of the Republicans for the Senate is still undetermined, al- though the Republicans held a State- wide primary on Saturday, as well as the Democrats. Four Republican candi- dates were in the field. The returns, however, in the Republican primary, are not in. Believe Pritchard Will Win. Here in Washington, North Caro- linians expressed the opinicn today that Representative George M. Pritchard, of the tenth district, would in the end receive the nomination. The early re- turns gave George E. Butler, brother of former Senator Marion Butler, a slight lead in the Republican primary, but the expectation is that Pritchard will over- come this lead and win. Pritchard is the son of & former Senator from North Carolina, He created quite a stir in Washington after his election to the present Congress when he declined to be assigned an office in the House Office Building next to Representative De Priest, the Colored Representative from Iilinois.
