Greatest Parade of Veterans. "In unbroken array, eight abreast, the men of the Legion marched in what their officers said was the greatest pa- #ade of World War veterans—a greater array than gathered in one marching unit even during war-time days. From 30 o'clock, when the first units got ler way, there was no let up through day, and darkness was expected to fall as the last rank reached the end. = They were there from Alaska to Pan- &ma, from Maine to the Philippines, & seattering few from the more distant points, a regiment or more from nearby tes.

Their entire attention will be devoted to important measures. Yes terday they welcomed their old com mander, Gen. John J. Pershing; former President Coolicge and war heroes of most of the allied countries. Two Cities Bid for Convention. The contest for the scene of the next mational convention narrowed down to & fight between Los Angeles and De- troit. These two cities were the only ones to bid officially for the convention before the Time and Place Commitiee. Baltimore, Md., made a bid for the con- vention of 1932 and Chicago for 1933. Since the Legion rules require a city bidding for the convention to present certified checks for a substantial amount of money, Portland, Oreg., withdrew its bid for the next year’s convention. The Oregon representative explained that Bhis department had not prepared for such a condition. ‘Wilbur M. Brucker, Republican nom nee for Governor of Michigan and a @elegate to the convention, presented the claims of Detroit. He gave the committee a certified check for $25,000 and exhibited a sheaf of telegrams from citizens and organizations asking that Detroit be chosen. He had a letter from Mayor Frank T, Murphy, himself a Legionnaire, asking for the convention for his city. Brucker seid there weculd be 25,000 hotel rooms available &nd showed an agreement signed by the Detroit Hotel Association promising sufficient housing facilities and no increase in rates, ) He held that Detroit was the logical geographical choice and said it would be 8 central point for Legionnaires whose a,nam'm condition would prevent a trip the West Coast. Quinn Presents Claim. The claims of Los Angeles were put forth by John Quinn, past national ‘¢ommander of the Legion. He gave the CHARGES ARE MADE Nebraska Claimed to Be Scene of Irregularities of Nye Committee. By the Associated Press.

Matson of Lincoln, Nebr., in a letter to Vice President Curtis, Nye entered & denial and complained of a “persist- ence in dragging a red herring across the trail to conceal the worth while things resulting from the committee’s inyestigation.” ‘The chairman said he would return to Nebraska before election and would subpena Matson. The trip to Nebraska is planned to determine the source of | money spent in behalf of George W.| Norris, the Broken Bow grocer who filed but was not permitted to run for the Republican nomination against Senator George W.

Paul G. Armstrong of Chicago sub- | mitted his city’s plea for the 1933 con- | | yention. He explained that the World's | Fair would be held in Chicago in that year and that it was necessary to go before the committee at this early time {to seek the convention so that plans could be made. Asa Needham asked that Baltimore | be_given the 1932 convention. No action was taken on either one | of the bids and it was voted that the committee report to the convention that it had found both Los Angeles and De- troit prepared to handle the convention and that the convention vote on the matter. The committee will also report to the committee letters from John C. Austin, resident of the Los Angeles Chamber ‘ Commerce; Mayor Porter and the councll of his city. He argued that R s Edwin R.

HOBBS INDICTMENT IS HELD DEFECTIVE Justice Cox Sustains Demurrer in Mail Fraud Charge Today in District Supreme Court. Justice Joseph W. Cox, presiding in the Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court, has sustained a de- murrer filed by Attorney Daniel Thew ‘Wright on behalf of James D. Hobbs to an indictment charging the former of- ficial of the Wardman Construction Co. with using the mails to defraud in con- nection with the management of prop- erty of John V. Morris. The court held the indictment defective because of un- certainty and inconsistencies. Because of the fact that the alleged use of the malls occurred in March and August, 1977, the statute of limitations would 'bar another indictment, and United States Attorney Rover is expect- ed to dismiss the indictment and take no further steps in the matter. e SAIL FOR NICARAGUA American Sailors and Marines to Supervise Elections.

Highway construc- | tion experts from many nations turned their world experience into other chan- nels today and sought further benefits in the realm of automotive transporta- tion. In the first practical step of the sixth International Road Congress, the two pan-American republics turned over a' new leaf and joined with 18 other) hations and the United States in agree- | ing that the rule of the road shall be | that automobiles shall pass on the right | of the highway. All the Pan-American nations en- tered into a convention late yesterday and formally agreed to several pro- | visions designed to facilitate the inter- national movement of automotive traffic. England Retains Practice. Heretofore automobiles in Argentina | and, Panama have used the left side of i highways as their right-of-way and the convention arrived at yesterday leaves Engiand the only important nation holding to the reverse of the American practice. The delegates from about 60 nations | turned their attention this morning to | technical problems of highway con- struction and ways and means of | financing roads. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, where the meetings are being held all this | week, resounded with words of four languages as men from all over the world exchanged information. English was the key language used at the meectings and an American, Samuel Eckels, chief engineer of the Pennsylvania Department of Highways, presided at the section on construction and maintenance. The magic of the interpreter’s art smoothed over all dif- ficulties and by the use of an elaborate telephone system natives of all coun- tries followed thé proceedings in their own tongue. As the reports were read, before Mr. Eckels, by Frank T. Sheets of Illinois, the words were translated into Spanish, French and German and throughout the hall speakers of those tongues heard their own language through bead sets. Reports Are Read, Alvan Macauley, president of the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, presided over the section which studied trafic and administration, and portation and communication depart- Commerce, reported on the subject with particular reference to ways and means ways. In this section the head sets were also in use. Before both groups delegates from France, Spain, Germany and other lands read extracts of reports from time to time and as each rose the men from other lands reached for their head sets in_order to follow the proceedings. Reports on such technical matters as the results obtained in road construc- tion by the use of cement, bricks and other materials; the most recent meth- ods adopted for tar and asphalt; traf- fic regulations in large cities and sub- urbs, and parking and garaging of ve- hicles, were printed to the number of more than a half million copies and dis- tributed among the countries several weeks before the congress. The busi- ness today was to agree upon the re- ports as submitted, and, finally, on Fri- day, the official representatives of the JaTious governments will meet in plenary session and determine what is to be their decision on the points raised. Practical Work Shown. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, who supervises the construction of streets in the Dis- trict, probably did not have the con- gress in mind, but in sending his high- way engineers to Madison place, which bounds Lafayette Square on the east between Pennsylvania avenue and H street, he afforded the 2,000 delegates and members of the congress a first- hand demonstration of the ingenuilty of American road builders. Hundreds of delegates passed the streets on their | way to the meeting this morning and many paused to watch a giant concrete mixer laying down a bedding of crushed rock and cement. delegates were the luncheon | guests of the American Organizing | Commission for the congress at the \Wnshing:on Auditorium today and later viewed with considerable interest an ex- hibition of road-building machinery can Road Bullders’ Association.

Washington Now Sees Revolt As of Real Significance, By the Associated Press. A sharp change in the opinion of ‘Washington officialdom as to the seri- ousness of the Brazilian insurrection ‘was manifest last night as reports came to the Capital from the Latin- American Republic. Some observers previously had ex- pressed the opinion that it was the result of repercussions of recent revolts in other Latin-American countries and the economic depressicn with which Brazil has been affected to the same measure as other countries. Military observers pointed out a factor which might have a bearing on whether the insurrection may be pro- longed over a considerable period. This was the vast distances between the points along the coast and in the in- terior where it would appear the revolu- tionists have to & measure been successful. Both Sides Hampered. ‘These distances would prevent an immediate junction of the revolting forces, but also would hamper the gov- ernment in getting loyal troops to so many scattered areas so far from loyal centers. Word that the revolution had broken out almost simultaneously in & number of points was interpreted as indicating plans had been laid over a considerable period for the outbreak, and that the revolt did not constitute incidents grow- ing out of a single minor movement.

BAN FRANCISCO, October 7.—Hav- ing heard Communists testify their ob- jective is the overthrow of the Amer- ican Government and substitution of Soviet rule, the Congressional Commit- tee investigating Red activities con- tinued its inquiry here today. ‘William J. Simons, described by other witnesses as a Communist leader, took the stand yesterday in flery mood and told how his followers planned to estab. lish a “dictatorship of the proletariat. He described his visit to Moscow three years ago §s a delegate to the Fourth Intenationale and said workers were far better off in Russia than in this| country. Warned Against “Speeches.” Simons attempted to read a prepared statement, but was stopped by Repre- sentative Carl G. Bachmann of West legiance, that of this country or that of the Soviet Union?” Bachmann asked. “It is not a question of flags,” Simons shouted. “It is a question of the sys- tem they represent. I stand for the workers against the bosses—the Soviet gystem for the workers ,against the American system of the bosses. Simons charged the committee had started its investigation “so you can go back to Washington and more laws agaisnt those trying to ald the workers.” He said the Communists would bring about a change in government “when the workers feel it is time to take over the industries and assume command under leadership of the Communist party.” Questioned as to Violence. “Would the workers use force and violence if necessary?” asked Bach- mann. “The workers will decide,” Simons replied. The witness also charged the com- mittee had evaded the unemployment question and was opposing Communists who sought to “alleviate” conditions. Mike niels and Maurice Rapport, Communists, reiterated many of Simons’ statements on taking the stand. They refused to take the oath, saying they believed in no Diety. —— The standard of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, has been presented by the Queen of E: Peteresborough) Caf 0 th 1, -nlld.h;llll be placed over Ketherine's tomb there, d | to e |U.

Lauds Prof. Claude. attainments and commendable persever. ance,” Dr. Munroe declared. Despite great obstacles and many discouraging and attained his objective. I regard this work as one of the outstanding achieve- ments of sclence since the time of Faraday.” The Federal sclentists explained to | The Star the principles on which Prof. Claude’s scheme is based. ‘Water, it was pointed out, turns into steam when the temperature is raised |to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Centigrade), providing the water is under atmospheric pressure. If the pressure is lowered, however, less heat is required to start the water boiling. Thus, when the pressure is lowered so that a vacuum Iis created, the water need only be warmed to give off steam. This is where the natural warmth of the gulf stream is utilized. By pumping into vacuum tanks warm water from the surface of the ocean, | the water instantly turns into steam I:'xfl:mn the aild of artificially applied | heat. Since a vacuum is necessary for the conversion of warm sea water into | steam, Prof. Claude seized upon the |idea of using cold water from the depths of the ocean to help him pro- duce the low pressure required in the conversion tanks. Vacuum Is Created. There is a law of physics which says that differences in temperature are ac- companied by differences in pressure. If the temperature on the outside of the tanks is lower than that prevailing within, & partial vacuum automatically is created in the tank. As the tem- perature outside is lowered, the vacuum within increases. Accordingly, Prof. Claude devised his plan for building a long pipe extending to the bottom of the sea, where the cold water of the ocean bed could be sucked up by pumps and circulated | about the tanks. = At the same time, an- other pipe line was arranged to bring the warm water of the surface into the interior of the tanks. Cold water outside—warm water in- side. The result was a partial vacuum that finally reached a point where the naturally-heated sea water began to boil and give off its power-producing steam. . Of course there are many drawbacks to the plan that must be overcome, many developments that must be per- fected, before the Gulf Stream power plant idea can be made commercially profitable. In the first place, power must be generated first to turn the powerful pumps needed to draw the ‘water from the ocean floor. To be- come commercially practicable, the in- itial cost of turning the pumps miust be reduced belo wthe level of revenues obtained from sale of the electrical enrgy. Must Find Cheaper Power. Mnnl!emi!. the ocean turbines can- not themsel operate the pumps, for the law of perpetual motion holds that no machine is capable of producing more energy than goes into it. Thus it would take a quantity of power in excess -tuthtn: generated %lm gurmxlma operal e pumps. e only solu~ jon, then, is to find & power supply for the pumps that is cheaper than | enthusiastically over the reports of the | “Prof. Claude is a scletist of marked | developments, he has kept at his plan | power output of the turbines.

MANTANZAS, Cuba, October 7 (#).— Prof. Georges Claude, French scientist and engineer, put nature to work here last night and kept 40 500-watt elec- | tric lamps burning for more than a | halt hour. | The feat culminated five years ot constant and unremitting effort and expenditure of about $2,000,000 of his own money to finance a scleme utilizing | thermal differences in surface water |from the Gulf Stream anc¢ water from 11,800 feet below the surface to generate | steam, run a turbine, drive a dynamo |and generate the electricity to light | the 1amps. | . A gathering of engineers and scien- | tific men saw the demonstration staged |by Dr. Claude in his laboratory. He received with calm a chorus of con- gratulations on his achievement, many of them from those who in the last few years have declared his scheme imprac- ticable. Some sald afterward the e | periment conceivably would revolution- |ize the entire fleld of industrial power methods. Vacuum Turns Turbines. Dr. Claude first pumped warm water | from the surface of Matanzas Bay, and then, through a mile-long tube sunk | 1,800 feet below the surface of the sea, from the depths. The warm surface | watgr was submitted to a vacuum and | became steam, finally of sufficient power | to_turn the turbine. From the turbine the steam was sent into a tank, where the cold water con- |densed it, creating & new vacuum in | which new ‘steam ‘could be generated |as soon as the first vacuum was ex- hausted, the salternate process to be kept up indefinitely. As the turbine gathered speed and finally attaned several thousand revolu- tions a minute it turned a dynamo and the electric lights began to glimer and then burn brightly. The experiment was kept up long enough to convince | even the most skeptical of success of | the generative methods. Plans Larger Plant. The only energy extraneous to the process itself used by Dr. Clauce was in keeping the pumps which brought him warm and cold sea water going. Skeptics have expressed doubt that he will be able to drive the pumps with the power he generates and still have enough left* over for any practical pur- poses. He said that he would work for some | time longer to increase the efficiency of his contrivance before going to Europe for a short while. Returning, he will construct a larger plant somewhere on the coast of Cuba. Abbey Funeral for Peer.

(Continued Prom First Page.) to start perjury proceedings against Seymour and Grocer Norris because of their testimony before the Senate com- mittee last July, denying that there was any connection between them in the flling of Grocer Norris' papers for the senatorial primary, is still waiting, ap- parently, for the record of the testimony, There are plenty of Republicans in Nebraska opposed to the re-election of Senator Norris. It is generally suppased here that some of them had a hand in the effort to place Grocer Norris in the Republican senatorial primary against Norris. But just who these Republicans are is still a matter of mystery. There is talk here, as in Washingion, that possibly the Grocer Norris affair reaches back to certain persons connected with the Republican Senatorial Committee, and even the National Committee. But it is still merely a matter of surmise. Seymour Remains Silent. Seymour until recently was an as- sistant to the vice chairman of the Re- publican Senatorial Campaign Commit- tee, Senator Steiwer of Oregon, at:the committee headquarters in Denver, Colo. He resigned his pos as he announced, voluntarily the good of the party. Now he is back in Lincoln, according to reports, but is saying nothing, ‘While the efforts to embarrass a can- didate for office through filing another candidate of the same name may be & new wrinkle in politics out in the other States, it is not new in Nebraska. Ow- ing to the way the primary law is crafted, there is no way to distinguish on the primary ballot between the two men who bear the same names. For example, if the law had permitted, It would have been a simple thing to have designated George W. Norris of McCook. as “Senator” George W. Norris in a race against his namesake from Broken Bow, the grocer. But this could not be done. ‘There have been a dozen other a tempts to capitalize a name in primary elections in Nebraska, probably more. The law, as it is drawn, seems to work a manifest hardship on men who have won approval of the voters and built themselves up a reputation. How easy, under the circumstances, for a Smi to enter against another Smith, divide the vote in the prmary, and thereby give the nomination to a third candi- date by the name of Brown. Aims of His Backers. ‘The attempt by the backers of Grocer Norris was to force Senator Norris to withdraw from the Republican primary and run as an independent. Had Sen- ator Norris done so, however, there was nothing to prevent Grocer Norris from withdrawing immediately afterward and also filing as an independent for the general election. Such tactics- would have made a difficult situation for the Senator in the general election. ‘The court ruled that the Grocer Norris filing was received too late by the secretary of state. That took the grocer effectually off the ballot. Norris remained in the primary and won the Republican nomination. backers of Grocer Norris sent in Grocer Norris’ papers two days earlier, for ex- ample, there would have been no court action by which the grocer’s name could bave been removed from the ballot. It seems a stupid oversight or delay, if the grocer’s backers really wished to push the matter to an issue. One rumor go- ing the rounds has it that the Grocer Norris was purposely late in getting his papers to the secretary of state. But ?g. t‘plruculu reason is assigned for A case in point, showing how the similarity in names has been used to embarrass candidates for office in Ne- braska other than Senator Norris, is that of Robert Smith, clerk of the court in Omaha for many years, power in the Republican party and a supporter of Senator Howell and of Senator Norris. The nominating papers of a Robert L. th, a 24-year-old Jjockey, son of a raiser of race es, were filed this year for the Republican nomination for county clerk. Runs as Independent. There was no way in which Mr. Smith could get the jockey's filing sed aside. the end, Mr. Smith, who has served with credit as clerk of the court for a long time, withdrew his own ing for the Republican primary now running as an independent the Democratic nominee and the publican. The Republican no; was not won by the jockey, but another man, a lawyer. But the out of the ublican 3 off the Republican ticket in Nov This, by the way, is only ons of series of similarity of names in elections this year. So the people of Nebrasks have mot been so excited, perhaps, over the Grocer Norris incident in the senatorial race as they might have been. Many of the Republicans insist that Senator Norris had no business going into & Re- publican primary at all in view of his support of Al Smith in 1928 and his constant attacks on the Hoover admin- Istration since then. There is likely to be an effort, however, when the Legis- lature meets this year to amend the primary law so as to put an end to such practices as forced Robert Smith to run as an independent in the clerk- ship race this year. The campaign has not yet really gotten under way, though both Hitch- cock and Norris have made a number of speeches. Senator Norris, however, will begin next week a whirlwind cam= paign, speaking daily until election day, and, it is reported, attack the record of Senator Hitcheock. Norris’ support- ers say that he will assail Hitchcock because of his opposition while he was in the Senate to the woman suffrage amendment, to the eighteenth amend- mcnt and to his vote for the Esch- Cummins transportation act and to his vote against the imposition of higher rates of taxation on big incomes. Attack May Be Returned. If Senator Norris begins a personal attack on the Democratic nominee, there are chances that the attack will be returned in kind. The opponents of Senator Norris insist they have some ammunition which they may unload with a disconcerting effect on Norris. Thirty-five years ago Senator Norris, when a candidate for district judge, was involved in a law suit in which it was charged that his election had been obtained fraudently. The State Su- preme Court sent the case back, but with the implication there had been fraud. The case was not brought again to the Supreme Court, however. have been threats on the part of some of the Norris opposition to bring that matter up and air it again, and also charges he was close to railroad inter- esis in the State during his earlier political career.
