A2 ' ww PRESIDENT HOLDS | NG STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 28. 1930. DIET RULED BY LIKES IS URGED: CALORY COUNTING CALLED BUNK YOUNG IS PRAISED THE EVE JURISTS T0-CLOSE PEIPING PREPARES APPOINTMENTS OFF Delay of Choices as Far as Possible for Senate Action Seen as Policy. By the Associated Press. President Hoover is adhering as closely as exigencies permit to a quistly adopted policy of keeping recess ap- pointments at a minimum. The Chief Executive has taken the | view that unless situations arise requir- ing immediate filling of Federal posts to carry on the proper functions of the Government, appointments should be | deferred until Congress is in seesion. From authoritative sources it was as- | certained that Mr. Hoover reached this | conclusion out of consideration to both the Senate and his prospective .4p-| pointees. Opportunity to Consider. ‘Wherever possible, the President de- sires the Senate to have opportunity to consider his nominees before they take office. He is understood also to feel that should that legislative branch decline to approve recess .appointees, it would work hardships on the persons involved and the Government branches affected. In line with this policy, he has de- ferred until December the appointment of five members to the Independent Federal Power Commission authorized by Congress to replace that composed B¥ the Secretaries of War, Interior and Agriculture. In addition, he has postponed mak- ing appointments to fill vacancies in the Federal courts wherever court busi- ness is not préssing. Whenever necessary, however, the Chief Executive hesitated to name re- cess appointees, particulfrly to diplo- matic ts and to other positions where Government business and rela tions would be enhanced by having them filled. Applicants Are Studied. In the meantime, Mr. Hoover is studying applicants for vacant posi- tions and is understood to have chosen several. Within a few days he is expected to complete the personnel of the Tariff Commission, which, under the Hawley- ‘Smoot tariff act, is to be reorganized by September 17. Henry P. Fletcher, Pennsylvania, Republican, and former Ambassador to Italy, has been named chairman, and Thomas W. Page of Vir- ginia, a Democrat, and & former chair- man, also has been designated. Four others are to be appointed. Shortly, however, the President will be confronted with filling & place in his cabinet—that held by Secretary of Labor Davis, Republican nominee for the Senate in Pennsylvania. Also he has been looking for & successor to Am| Morrow to Mexico, Repub- Jican nominee for the Senate from New In’ addition, the Chief Executive must consider sppointing & chairman of the Pederal Reserve rd to suc- ceed Roy A. Young, who res! yes- | terday, and a chairman of the Merchant | Fleet Cor tion to take the place of John R. don, who recently died.

COUNTY OFFICIALS REPLY. Demurrers to Mobley Suit Deny Plaintiff | Relief in Equity. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 28 (Spe- clal).—The county commissioners and J. TForest Walker, county treasurer, through Attorney Joseph O. Clssel, to- day filed demurrers in the Cireuit Court here to the amended declaration in the suit recently instituted inst them by Walter W. Mobley, a prominent farmer and dairyman of Derwood, this m“flx::g).!y seeks to have the defendant account to the court for all moneys paid on behalf of the county to the Mary- Jand Publishing Co. of Stiver Spring for county advertising and other printing during the time members of the Board of County Commissioners were directors or stockholders in the Silver Spring company and up to the time they re- signed as directors and relinquished their stock and to require the commis- sioners individually to restore to the county treasury the money so paid, es- timated at around $25,000. The demurrer on behalf of the com- missioners holds that even if the state- | ments contained in the declaration are true, the plaintiff has no relief in equity. and so far as County Treasurer Walker is concerned. it is contended that he Is purely an administerial officer and paid the money upon the order of the com- missioners, he is not properly a de- fendant. Judge Robert B. Peter is expected to fix an early date for hearing arguments on the demurrers and thould the de- murrers be overruled a time would then be set for hearing the case on 1its merits.

By the Associated Press ' WINNIPEG, Manitoba, August 28— Diet, in the opinion of Dr. Robert Hutchison of London, should be a mat- ter of likes and dislikes. | The diet faddist, he told the ninety- | eighth annual meeting of the British | Madical Assoclation, is perhaps the com- monest and most malignant crank. “The scientific truth about all this diet business,” he said, can be summed | up as follows: Eat moderately, taking ordinary mixed diet, and don’t wurry about anything else—to take no thought for what you shall eat or drink is wiser than to be always fussing over it. Likes and dislikes, however, should be listened | to; they are nature’s indication of what | probably agrees or disagrees.” | Harking back to the “days of mud | ples,” Dr. Hutchison said, children were probably healthier and happier then than the oftweighed, pampered, dieted and psycho-analyzed infants of today. He lsughed at®calory counters and vitamin victims and held up as ideal the easy-going individual who “merely meanders to health.” “What we need for the attainment of health as individuals is not more knowl- edge, but a change of heart. Let us therefore cultivate character and let health ook after itself, being assured that to a Nation made up of men and women of character, all things—health included—will be added.” He adjured humans to “leave raw vegetables, except salads, to herbivorous animals and let the calories look after themselves. “Do not worry too much about the health of your children and let them eat plenty of plain, simple food.” Jews and Americans, he said, are especially prone to think too much about health.

Roy A. Young, governor of the Fed- eral Reserve Board, will leave the serv- ice of the Government September 1, to become governor of the Federal Reserve Bank, at Boston, at a considerably in- creased salary, His resigntaion after three years' service was attributed in a letter to President Hoover, made publc yester- day, to the need of a higher-salaried position in the private banking world. His present post pays only $12,000 & year, while the Boston governorship will give ‘him at least twice that amount. Had Postponed Resignation. Young told the President he had pottponed his resignation until the dis- turbed state of the country's credit con- ditions had settled down. “Now,” he , “it is clearly evident that the credit structure of coun- try 18 in an easy and exceptionally strong position.” In accepting the resignation, Presi- dent Hoover combined with praise of his serviees a statement that & suc- cessor would be hard to find. This se- lection he expects to make shortly. Sec- retary Mellon paid high tribute to Mr. i Young in a letter in which he sald: Praised by Mellon. “I regret extremely, not only from the standpoint of the Federal Reserve System, but from a personal one, that you feel compelled to tender your resig- nation as governor of the Federal Re- serve Board. You have conducted the very responsible duties of your office with & high degree of skill, sometimes under extremely difficult ciroumstances, and your three years of service have been of very distinct benefit to the Fed- eral Reserve System. Our personal re- lations have been the pleasantest pos- sible, and you will carry with you from Washington not only the respect but the affection of your associates on the board.” At Boston Mr. Young will succeed the late W. P. C. Harding, who died last April. Harding also was a former Ped- eral Reserve governor. Young is only 48, but has had a distinguished finan- cial career. At 37 he was governor of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. He is a native of Marquette, Mich. CITES LOW SALARIES. Young’s Resignation Revives Question of Improving Public Service. BY DAVID LAWRENCE Resignation of Gov. Roy Young as head of the Federal Reserve Board has revived the question of whether the publie ler'\,rlc‘ef will ever be improved very mucl the present policy of Congress in holding down thepo scale of salaries for important posts remains un- changed. One of the most valuable men in the Federal Reserve system, because of his experience, first as a governor of the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis and for several years now head of the Federal Reserve system {tself, Mr. Young's services are now lost to the Government because he cannot afford & $12,000 a year salary. . In accepting the position of the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of Boston, Mr. Young goes back to private life because, while the Reserve banks are supervised by the Gbvernment as to policies, the salaries of the governors are paid by the mem- bér banks, and they consider the job worth at least $25.000 a year, and t is the salary Mr. Young is now to re- celve. ~ Congress has mothing to say about the salaries of the Federal Re- serve the Government, but by the banks th;;n:elv;s directly. 0ok a long time before the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States was paid a salary of $20,500 and the assoclate judges were moved up from $12,000 to $20,000. Members of Congress have been hesi- tant to increase ‘salaries in excess of their own, and even the increase of Congressmen to $10,000 & year was not easily arranged, because of the embar- rassment the members felt in voting for a raise in their own salaries, Financlal Sacrifice Necessary, While there are members of Congress who probably never earned 010,05\) a year in private life there are many who could earn several times that sum in law practice or in business. The whole scale of governmental salaries for the higher executives is, however, affected by the Cnnfireulonll viewpoint, and that is*one of the difficulties every President has in filling important posts, for in every case a financial sacrifice is in- volved if & man comes to the Govern- ment service from & succeséful career in private life, This means that the Government is dependent upon men who have made their fortunes and who may like to come to Washington efther for social Teasons or because they are lookimg for & change in their own work and new interests.

Another phase of the matter is that puglic officials are frequently be- sought to make decisions on matters of discretionary polfcy by persons who are in a position to help them in business when they resign from the Government. Laws have been passed by Congress to prevent Government officials from serving for a period of a year of two after they leave the Government those companics on whose interests the Gov- ernment had been passing judgment. This is particularly true now of the in- come tax personnel. Gov. Young felt that he could not very well accept a po- | sition with a private bank, though no doubt some of the larger banks in New York would have been glad to get his services. It is not often that a vacancy oceurs in the position of a regional Re- serye bank and the post has an inde- finite tenure.

PEIPING, Chins, August 328.—The local garrison is mounting antiaircratt guns on the towers of the eity walls and on the famous coal hill in anticipa« tion of further bombings by Nanking airplanes. Chinese officials and the press here are extremely indignant over yesterday's air rald, declaring that Peiping is not a military area, but a cultural center containing, moreover, foreign legations, and that the bombing was not junstifi- able militarily. On the contrary, they- assert, the attack was calculated to de stroy historic monuments. Judging by the location of the bombs, the two principal objectives were the- magnificent former imperial Hua Ijen- Tang Palace, where Kuomintang organizationists are conferring on the establishment of a new %o;enm t, and’ the residence of Wang Ching-Wei, Left’ leader of the Kuomintang. Both were undamaged. Since both the bombs and the planes employed in the rald were of foreign manufacture, the press demands that forei governments forbid sales of arms to China. (Copyright, 1830.)
