\ HOOVER IS FACING KNOTTY PROBLEMS Swarm of “Touchy Issues” Confront Him at Middle of Presidential Term. BY BYRON PRICE, Associated Press Staff Writer. Just at the political half-way mark | of his four-year term, President Hoover finds his fortunes ringed about these June days with a numerous and per- sr-gistent swarm of touchy public issues. As if by prearrangement, the whoie brood—tariff, farm relief, 'prohibition, | foreign relations, internal party troubles —has come buzzing about the head of | the man who, by virtue of being Presi- | dent, lican party. Two years ago tonight, buntin; Kansas City, leadership by a single, call Two _years hence—unless _history ¥ breaks her well-established habit—sn- other national convention will see his followers rallying to consummate his Yenomination. 1932 Campaign Discussed. Already the straws are bending to the passing breeze and Washington is full of talk of 1932. What Mr. Hoover him- self may be thinking—and what first- term President ever has failed to think at subject—no one is undertaking His friends, however, are getting , and so are his enemies within he was_ elevated to that| one-sided roll i0se who lock to another term for him rely heavily on the appeal they claim for him among the rank and file of voters. They declare this hold is stronger, rather than weaker, by virtue of such defeats as he has suffered in Congress and such open breaks as he has -arrived at with party politicians. They see in the great number of major projects he has planted in the national fabric a promise of bountiful fruition in the two years to come. Third Party Gossip Persists. Those within the party who have at- tacked him—for instance, Senator Borah, Senator Norris and the whole senatorial fraternity of discontent with his policies—are not talking for publi- cation on the subject of 1932. The; are talking among themselves, howeve: and the third party gossip, which has been a part of every Republican pre- convention campaign for a generation, persists. It persists, but no one is will- ing to sign his name to a prediction. Two years is a moderately long time in presidential politics. Many a politi- 4ca! wind will blow before June, 1932, and no man knows what sails will be filled or what high ventures will break on the rocks. Yet both friend and foe of the President’s fortunes understand . sthat a great deal of real import may be found later to have had its source in this very cave of the winds which en- Yelops Mr. Hoover in the month of June, Almost immediately he must decide, for better or for worse, whether to sign or veto a tariff bill, which has divided opinion in his party and kept political weathervanes whirling. Farm Relief Arouses Contention. The whole Hoover farm relief pro- gram, with its multitude of intra-party complications, has become sudd<nly ex- posed to another Senate debate—than Which there is none deadlier—through ¢Tenomination of the head of the farm board. If it can be said with no derogation of the presidential dignity, his coattails are being pulled this way and that by advisers who think they know what he should do and what he should refrain from doing about uncmployment and the situation in the stock market. A group of Senators, led by Repub- licans who show an increasing willing- ness to talk back to tne White House, has steered the Hoover naval treaty into the doldrums and heroic relief measures may be required. Quarrel Rages Over Prohibition. As the off-year elections approach, the President finds not only Republicans; but Hoover Republicans, quarreling ali about him over prohibition. Finally, his own Republican national ‘& organization is debating whether to drop its pilot, wnder attack, and select a new national party chairman, and if so, whom, and also, how. All of which are but a few of the tLings that silver the hair and furrow the faces of Presidents, and often spell re-election or defeat. And opinions dif- fer whether the first two years are the hardest. PLANE TO BE MEMORIAL SANTA MARIA, Calif..

ITS FLAG |Place Where Congress Met to Make Over National Em- blem to Be Razed. BY FRANK W. HUTCHINS. Of course it was in Philadelphia that | our national flag was first designed and \cr!atcu’ All honor to the Quaker City and (for the story is too pretty to doubt)_the nimble fingers of Betsy Ross. But Washingtonians should not forget that later the little Capital on the | Potomac had to do the job all over. | It was this way. That first legally established flag of 1777 consisted of 13 stripes, alternately red and white, and 13 white stars in a canton of biue. A beautifully appropriate emblem while the number of States remained 13. But soon other States were added to the | Union. Now what to do? Congress enacted that a new star and a new stripe should be added to the flag upon the admission of each new State. { " That proved impracticable. It soon | led to more stripes than the flag could effectively carry. And, no telling how many more yet to crowd on. -Fhe nat- ural result was that the law was little observed. Flags of varying numbers of stripes were floating everywhere— even over Government buildings. The national banner had come to be almost anything that was red, white and blue. Nation's Flag Reshaped. Such was the situation when Uncle Sam moved from Philadelphia to his new seat of Government on the 'Potomac. It was there, in little Washingion City, that he faced the difficulty and re- shaped the flag. ‘That was in 1818. The act of Con- gress declared that thereafter the num- ber of stripes should be the original 13, but the number of stars always to equal the number of States. That is the flag law under which we live today. But all that does not half tell the story for this particular Flag day in ‘Washington. This one has peculiar significance. On the corner of Pirst and A streets northeast stands a great gray building of out-of-date dignity in the midst of tree-grown gardens. We all know it as the “Old Brick Capitol” Its genuineness as the one time home of Congress, though at times questioned, has recently been thoroughly estab- lished. Greatly changed in the pass- ing of a century, it still rightly wears its honors and its bronze tablet. But it stands today condemned, empty, awaiting destruction to make room for the new Supreme Court Building. This is the last Flag day that will see any vestige of the old structure left. What of all that? Well, it was in this “Old Brick Cap- itol” that Congress was sitting when it made over our national flag. Banner Is Unfurled. | _Tired of flying all sorts of banners— 113" stripes, 15 stripes, 19 stripes—this | little Capitol on the corner ended the confusion. A flag was at once made in accordance with the new law. It was | the work of a Revoluilonary soldier's | daughter. So, all unheralded and un- | sung, a new Betsy Ross! The flag was | at once unfurled from the peak of the Toof over Congress. | At last a_national embiem symbolizing | simply and beautifully our origin and |our growth. Those changeless few | stripes, the little commonwealths that {won our independence; those ‘every { mounting stars, the growing galaxy of | States united to preserve it. And, peculiarly significant today, that this perfected flag of our country was designed, declared and first flung to the world by that doomed “Old Brick | Capitol.” | e {STOCK TRANSFER ORDER IS REQUESTED IN SUIT Sharon Executors and Trustees of Lady Hesketh's Estate Seek $181,400 Certificate. Suit to compel the Chevy Chase Land Co. to transfer stock in the company belonging to the estate of Dame Flor- ence Emily Fermor-Hesketh (Lady Hes- keth) of London, who died September 25, 1924, to the estate of her deceased cousin, Willlam Evan Sharon of San Francisco, who died February 25, 1926, and who had been named fesiduary leg- atee under the will of Lady Hesketh, was filed yesterday in the District Su- preme Court by the Sharon executors and trustees, his widow, Mrs. Lillian Sharon, and his sons, Robert A. and Burford C.

By the Associated Press. | The spectacular career of the Senate | lobby committee is believed to be ended, | except for a few formalities. Committee members, who have beenx laboring for eight months to expose the | !activities of lobbyists to public llu» have not definitely decided to suspend | operations, but they consider it unlikely | that any further witnesses will be called. | ‘The next move by the committee will | be a report to the Senate on the ex- | amination of Bishop James Cannon, | jr, who defiantly refused to answer questions about his 1928 anti-Smith ac- | tivities. It will be made early next| week. No further action against the Bishop is planned by the committee, but Sena- tor Blaine, Republican, ~Wisconsin, ccntends that when the report is transmitted to the Senate, Vice Presi- Gent Curtis is required by law to present it to the district attorney for possible contempt. proceedings. Chairman Caraway, however, main- tains the bishop did not legally refuse to answer questions, because the com- mittee ruled it did not have authority to question him about his political ac- | tivities. A general report on the prohibition | investigation and one on the entire lobby inquiry will be made later, and that is expected to terminate the com- mittee’s activity. It began operation last October 15, un- der a resolution introduced by Senator | Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, who was | named chairman of the committee. Since that time approximately 100 wit- nesses have paraded before the five in- vestigators for questioning about polit- ical activities. The record consists of approximately 2,500,000 words. The examination of Cannon wound up an investigation into prohibition ac- tivities of the Assoclation Against the Prohibition Amendment, e Anti-Sa- loon League and the Board of Temper- ance. Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church. URGE BILL ENFORCING LGCAL WAGE SCALE Builders of Government Works Must Pay Washington Salaries Under New Measure. A bill to provide that all contractors | doing building work for the District government would have to pay laborers and mechancis the prevailing wage scale in Washington was recommended to members of the Senate yesterday by John B. Colpoys and E. J. Murphy, representing the buy-in-Washington | commhl" ‘They had in' mind the possibility of | hnertlns & provision in the appro- priation bill, but were advised it should be handled as a separate piece of legis- lation. They conferred with Chairman Capper of the Senate District commit- tes and Chairman Bingham of the Dis- trict subcommittee on appropriations. The bill would require that the fol- lowing clause be inserted in all propo- sals for estimates on municipal proj- ects: “Provided that all wages paid me- chanics and laborsrs working on con- struction projects as provided for in this bill shall be one prevailing scale as es- tablished and paid in the District of Columbia.” Mr. Colpoys and Mr. Murphy explain- ed that this would put all bidders on an equal competitive basis, and also would tend to prevent impairment of the standards of employment of all build- ing trades, mechanics and laborers. They said that placing this clause in the proposals would give notice to out- of-town bidders of the wages to be paid on District work. $328,760 IS LOW OFFER TO RESURFACE STREETS Corson & Gruman Submit Small- est Figure in Bid for District Work. Corson & Gruman submitted the low bid for the work of resurfacing streets listed in the 1931 District bill. Their bids was $328,760. W. R. Brenizer put in the low bid for laying concrete road- ways, his bid being $160,384.50. These bids carried a clause stating that no contract would be awarded until after enactment of the appropria- tion bill. They were filed with a “atch of other bids for District highway work, which must be delayed until the bill is signed. About $2,000,000 in new coa- struction of streets and roads is tied up by failure of the conferees on the District bill to agree on its terms. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

SHIP FIRE PROBERS TO0LD PUMP IDLE |Fairfax’s Second Assistant Engineer Describes Finding Main Water Not On. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, June 14.—Second Assist- ant Engineer John T. Prench of the steamer Fairfax, testified today that 15 minutes after the collision Tuesday night with the Fall River tanker Pin- this and the subsequent fire, he found that the main fire pump had not yet been started. French answered questions of Chief Inspector Dickerson N. Hoover of the United States Steamboat Service, and his assistants just after the opening of today's hearing in the Federal in- vestigation into the disaster, which cost 47 lives. Low Pressure of Hose. The engineer :aid the two deck pumps were working fore and aft, but that while handling a deck hose, he said he called the chief engineer’s attention to the low pressure. French went to the engine room and found the main pump hag not been turned on. French explained the fact by saying that the engine room was full of smoke and conditions were bad down there. His questioners then brought out that previously the third engineer had testi- fied that the engine room was compara- | tively clear of smoke, although the fire room was fuil. Couple Warned in Vain. While on the deck with the hose, French said, a man and woman with life preservers asked him about jump- ing overboard. “Don't do _that” French replied. “stay here. You're safe here. If it comes to going overboard, we'll all go together.” Nevertheless, French testified, couple Jeaped into the sea. Capt. Pred Tlower, port captain for the Lake Tankers' Corporation, owners of the Pinthis, read into the record the names of the 19 members of the Pin- this' crew who were lost. He was fol- lowed by A. J. Powell, Fairfax third of- ficer, whose third appearance on the stand revealed that Hoover had other inspection of the Fairfax t. the Questioned About Rope. Powell was questioned about the tes- timony of James Boggs, second steward, who had said a Marinc cut a fall rope on lifeboat No. 7, while Boggs and Pow- ell were attempting to lower it. Powell said the rope certainly appeared to have been cut when they examined it last night. Dickerson N. Hoover, inspector general of the United States Steamboat Service, announced that he would go to Norfolk. Va., to hear the testimony of survivors now in that vicinity. The hearings in that city will begin Monday. Hoover said there were about 15 sur- vivors, mostly service men, who will testify at Norfolk. Among them are Chief Peity Officer Edward Cullen, Signalman C. D. Farrell and Pirst Sergt. A. E. Abbott, U. S. M. C,, who were passengers on the Fairfax. Brandywine High Play Last Night.
