[TALY NOT SEEKING LOAN, GRANDI SAYS Foreign Minister Denies Need to Borrow in Interview at New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 26.—Dino Grandi paused in & day of relaxation and sightseeing yesterday to declare with a proud smile and in emphatic words that Italy needs no foreign loan; that financially she can stand on her own feet. Twenty reporters had gathered around the black-bearded foreign min- ister from Italy as he rested in a hotel suite that was studded with vases of chrysanthemums and roses. Replies to Question. Some one asked if he had discussed @ loan from American interests with J. P. Morgan, Thomas Lamont and other noted bankers with whom he had luncheon Tuesday. | Pencils came out as the young diplo- mat, attired in morning clothes, squared his shoulders and began speaking in perfect English, weighing each word and emphasizing each one as he uttered it. “Gentlemen,” he began, “I would have you remember that some months ago my chief, Mussolini, as head of the government, asked for an internal loan —that is the right word is it not?— asked for an internal loan from Italian people for internal needs. “He asked three and one-half billion lire and the Italian people subscribed seven billions. Now that will give you an idea of the confidence in our country. He explained the surplus had been turned back to the subscribers, then he added: “So there was no question of a loan at the luncheon yesterday. Italy needs THE i Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation ! ‘;4%,,‘9;’«2.{ 5 b o o A, it none. Our internal condition is so strong we are perfectly sure of our- selves.” He took the opportunity of emphasiz- ing, as he has on other occasions, that his conferences in Washington were highly successful, another step toward the goal se‘t by “previous international Y ’s schedule for the dis- tinguished visitor was the most leisurely since his arrival. It included a lunch- eon given by Percy R. Pyne, 2d, and a theater party last’ night with John W. Garrett, ambassador to Italy. Signora Grandi Shops. Signora Grandi went shopping during the morning and remained in her hotel suite for luncheon. Among her pur- chases were a toy tank for her son and @ doll for her daughter. ‘The only time reporters have seen the foreign minister gesticulate in the Latin manner was when he was telling | how he had evaded for a time yester- day the heavy police guard that has surrounded him since his arrival in New York. He was on his way to the home of Mr. Lamont for luncheon. The ard did not catch up with him until g‘e‘ was ready to start back. “I enjoyed it very much,” Grandi said with a twinkle in his eyes. “I was able to raise my éyes again to I saw many, many new things.” Late in the day the foreign minister saw New York from the top of the Empire State Building, with former Gov. Alfred E. Smith as his host. After a rest at his hotel Grandi went to the home of Charles E. Mitchell, | chairman of -the National City Bank, for a brief reception.

For nearly a century the original proclamation of President Washingtcn was a lost document. It was believed mislaid or stolen when records were moved from New York to Philadelphia or from Philadelphia to Washington. Rightfully it should be today a part ¢f the official records in the Bureau of Archives of the State Department. But jn 1921 it was purchased at a New York auction sale for $300 by the Li- prary of Congress, and there it remains, evidently destined to stay. Bcre No Official Seal. Dr. J. C. Fitzpatrick, assistant chief of - the manuscripts civision of the library, observing an item of a “presi- dential thanksgiving proclamation” in an announcement of a sale at_the| American Art Galleries in New York“ City, journeyed to the metropolis and examined the document. It bore no official seal of the Secre-| tary of State, such as did subsequent proclamations; nor had it a_govern- mental seal of any sort. But Dr. Fitz- | patrick, an expert on Washingtoniana, | Gecided the proclamation was an au- | thentic original, there being no ques- tion about the characteristic signature of Washington. He entered the bid- ding for it and purchased it at the un- heard-of price of $300. Now it is re- garded as a priceless relic of the first administration. The State Department has record of only one other presidential ‘Thanksgiv- ing proclamation by George Washing- ten, cated January 1, 1795, and set- ting February 19 of that year as Thanksgiving day.

Tssued Orders in 1775. On November 18, 1775, Gen. Wash- ington issued orders from his Cam- bridge, Mass, headquarters, setting November 23 of the same year apart as a day of public thanksgiving “to offer up our praise and prayers to Almighty God, the Source and Benevo- lent Bestower of all that He would be pleased graciously to continue L e il Flicenaily /"‘/n‘;%”nw':; o KD i 4/7;7/1?&‘—%,21 ) to smile upon our endeavors to restore peace, blessing our rights and privileges to the last posterity; prosper the Ameri- 10| can arms, preserve and strengthen the Army of the United Colonies and avoid the calamities of a civil war.” On December 17, 1777, following the vgearing campaign of 1777, Gen. Wash- ington ordered December 30 of that year set aside as a Thanksgiving day. He repeated the order in subsequent years also, naming days in December, January and other months of each year as days of giving thanks and prayer. Complying with his own presidential proclamation, Washington on Novembrr 26, 1789, attended St. Paul's Chapel in New York, and the records of his diary show the weather was “inclement and stormy; but few people 2t church.” MIX NEARING CRISIS IN FIGHT FOR LIFE Fate of Film Actor Expected; to Be Known Within 24 Hours.

It had been learned, the news- per reported, that he recent- ly tcok steps to obtain some paint to hide two parallel scars across his left cheek from which he got the name “Scarface Al" Attaches of the county jail, where Capone is being held pending disposition of an ap- peal from an 1l-year sentence as an income tax dodger, said they had noticed no astonishing change in the gangster's appear- ance.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 26.— This was truly a day of thanksgiving for Mary Mazmanian, 18-year-old high school senior. | She was back with her family after being released from jail on probation yesterday, having served 21 days of a six-months’ sentence for an automobile accident in which she wrecked a West Philadelphia drug store and injured John Cipriotti, one of the customers. Days spent behind prison bars, sev- eral of them in the company of a con- victed murderess, had made a deep im- pression on the young girl. Happy to Be Home, “You can't realize,” she said, “how happy I am to be home again. I never was away from home so long before, and I hope I never will be again.” Judge Utley Crane, who sentenced her, released the girl on condition that she pay $180 damages to the owner of the store and a $10 doctor bill for cipriotti. Judge Crane, despite numer- ous petitions of prominent citizens for the girl’s parole, had steadfastly refused to consider releasing her prior to the regular time for hearing such applica. tions. Tmpressed by “Injustice.” “I was really treated very well,” the girl said, speaking of her experience. “The cellmate I had was very nice to me. After she was taken away to an- other institution, I learned she had been arrested for killing some one. “My most persistent thought when I went to jail was about the injustice of it all” she added. “Here I was in prison for something which did not seem to fit the sentence I received. I suppose the accident was my fault and I should have been required to pay for the damage, but I should not have been sent to jai Notwithstanding her feeling about the jail sentence, Mary was so glad to be home today, she said cheerfully she in- (sexx;gs to do needlework to help pay the BASKETS TO BE GIVEN -1 Girl Scouts Provide Food in Social Relief Program.

Therfault, Engineer Manley Gooddick of Digby, Nova Scotia; Paul Pitts, Oscar Thibideau and John Powers. “The fate of the others,” said Capt. Theriault’s message to his ship's agent at_Gloucester, Mass., “is not known.” The Gypsum Prince put out life boats immedaitely, but the Edith and Elinor —named after the wife and daughter | of her master—went down within four minutes of the crash. ‘Two Coast Guard craft, the Agassiz and the Antietam, were dispatched at once to the position given by th¢ Gyp- sum Prince, which was standing by in the hope there might be additional sur- vivors. The collision occurred at 7:27 o'colck last night The Edith and Eilnor was a week out of its home port, Gloucester.
