Seventh to Receive Medal. ‘The National Geographic Society medal, the highest award for geographi- cal achievement in this country, was received by Mrs. Pvtnam from the hands of President Hoover. She was the seventh person in history to re- ceive the medal from a President. The presentation, made in Constitution Hall | parcel 6, 331 Missouri avenue, Mary A. before a brilliant ¢hrong of national leaders, was the climax of a day of honors for the slender girl who has written her name in aviation's hall of fame. In presenting the medal, President] Hoover said: “It is a great pleasure to come here ond share in vour honoring of Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam. She has shown a splendid courage and skill in flving alone across the Atlantic Ocean. She has often before demonstrated her ability to accomplish the most difficult tasks that she sets herself to do. She |7, 469 Missouri avenue, estate of Frank has been modest and good humored. “All these things combine to place her in a enirit with the great pioneer- ing women to whom every generation of Americans has looked up. with ad- | bo ek miration for their firmness of will, their | 2vchu® § strength of character, and their cheer- ful spirit of comradeshin in the work of the world. It is significant that she found the first outlet for her energies in sccial settlement work, and that through all her succession of triumphs in aviation, her transcontinental and transoceanic flights, she has continued active in this warmly human labor.” Adds Nothing, She Says.

She told briefly of her struggles with weather and of mechanical troubles which besct her during the ocean flight. ‘The flight convinced her, she said, of the need for more comprehensive ocean weather information, to be gathered, possibly, by the crew of an anchored weather observation station in Mid- atlantic. “I believe regular transatlantic air service is inevitably coming.” she said in conclusion. “How soon depends on many factors, perhaps chief of which is airplane design. 1 shall be happy if my small exploit has drawn attention to the fact women are flying, too.” Sets New Air Records. The President was introduced by Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the Na- tional Geographic Society, who presided. Dr. Grosvenor called attention to the fact Mrs. Putnam’s flight not only was the first by a woman, but that it also established 2 new speed record for the Atlantic crossing of 16 hours and 12 minutes and a distance record for flight by a woman of 2,026.5 miles. Constitution Hall was crowded to ca- pacity and many hundreds were turned away. The audience included diplo- mats and statexmen, members of the cabinet, the Senate and House; officers of the Army and Navy and leaders in official and social life of the Capital. The presentation was the climax of & day of high honors, which included a reception on the floor of the Senate, a privilege accorded few men or women in history. Mrs. Putnam shook hands ‘with each member of the Senate after being escorted to the floor by the Vice President. The Senate recessed in her honor on motion of Senator Bingham of Connecticut, president of the Na- ! tional Aeronautic Association, of which Mrs. Putnam is vice president. From the Senate she was takem to the House, welcomed by Speaker Garner and escorted to the gallery, from which she was presented to the membership by Representative Millar of New York. ‘The members rose to their feet with a burst of applause and cheers. Praised by Secretaries. She received the personal congratula- tions and praise of the Secretaries of *¥ar, Navy and Commerce later. Her day's activities began with a re- &eption by the President and Mrs. Hoover at the White House, followed by A luncheon given in her honor by trus- :ces of the National Geographic So- iety. At the Mayflower Hotel, where she occupied the suite reserved for visiting royalty and distinguished guests, she held an informal press conference late yesterday.

Others who arrived today were: Nor- man W. Baxter, publicity director for Ritchie, and David Stiefel, secretary of the Maryland delegation. Discussing the outlook for Gov. Ritchle, former Judge Walsh said: “Gov. Ritchie is the cnly candidate whose strength has grown during the past two months, and the eve of the convention finds him the strongest can- didate the party could nominate. I do not mean in any way to reflect upon the cther distinguished gentlemen who are aspiring for the ncmination, but it is common knowledge that serious ob- jections have been raised in one quarter or another regarding the availability of practically all of them, while, on the cther hand, tte more Gov. Ritchie's record and accomplishments have been been studied the stronger he has be- come. “At a time when the people of the country regardless of party affiliation are crying aloud for strong leadership and when the country is desperately in need of such leadership, Gov. Ritchie's courage and candor in expressing his views on public questions, and his well known fearlessness and fighting abilities appeal strongly to every one. Popular Demand Seen. “The American people are sick and tired of pussyfooting and evasion. They want a real man for President, d the nomination and election of Gov. Ritchie would give them just that. “Ritchie would carry the South and the border States, would sweep the big dously strong in the Middle West, and these are the sections of the country which held the chief hope of Demo- cratigsv ictory.” HENRY RE-ELECTED A.

LOS ANGELES, June 22.—Myrtle | Joan St. Pierre, who pictured the hus- band of Aimee Semple McPherson Hut- ton as a flery lover, faced cross-examin- ation today on the story of love scenes | she told yesterday from the witness stand. | Before his marriage to the evangelist, | the 30-year-old nurse testified in her $200,000 breach of promise suit, David | Hutton, choir singer in his wife's Four | Square’ Gospel Church, told her mar- | riage was a man-made institution that could be ignored at times. In the midst of her story the nurse fell from the witness stand in a faint. She continued her story of her rela- tions with the singer only with the aid of smelling salts. | So intimate were the scenes she de- scribed, the court room was cleared of | all who did not have an immediate in- terest in rthe case. While she told of his love, Miss St. Pierre gazed steadily | at Hutton. He stared back fixedly, oc- | caslonally swallowing hard. | Meanwhile, unaware that the trial | had even begun, Mrs. Hutton was con- fined to a sanitarium. She is suffering from & nervous breakdown and a strange tropical illness contracted on her recent tour of Central America | with her husband.

NEW YORK, June 22—War clouds grew black in the contract bridge coun- try today, gathering quickly after an- nouncement of a peace plan. Waldemar von Zedtwitz, president of the American Bridge League, issued a statement criticizing the plan of Ely Culbertson, bridge headquarters, an Milton C." Work, to have the newly formed United States Bridge Asocia- tion supervise the game and conduct national championships. Von Zedtwitz set forth that his or- ganization already is the national rep- Tesentative body. He characterized the aim of standardization of bidding sought by the Culbertson and “official” groups as dubious. ‘Was Culbertson Partner. Long a member of Culbertson teams and one of Culbertson's partners in last Winter's match with Sidney S. Lenz, Von Zedtwitz, a wealthy amateur, in recent months has been friendly with the Deal Club players, including the “Four Horsemen,” who are the predom- inant influences in the American Bridge League. His statement follows “The Amerjcan Bridge League, found- ed in 1927 on & purely non-profit and non-partisan basis for the purpose of promoting the game of bridge as a sport and affording an open forum to all lovers of auction and contract, is already the national representative body of players throughout the country. “It was formed by members of the American Whist League because that to extend |its” tournament activities beycnd one a year. Cites League's Work. “The American Bridge League has been working on a plan to incorporate clubs, following the pattern of the United States Golf Association. for the past six months and for several years has been promoting, organizing and conducting universally recognized sec- tional, State and championship tourna- ments. “Apart from activities already cov- ered by the American Bridge League, the new proposed organization, sponsored by Messrs. Work, Culbertson and Courtenay, admittedly the result of a marger of their interests, intends pro- moting standardization of bidding methods along lines recommended in thelr systems, an aim which the Amer- ican Bridge League regards as both dubious and beyond the scope of an offi- cial body representing and reflecting public opinion as distinguished from professional interests.” MIAMI PLANS BIG HAUSNER WELCOME Rescued Flyer to Be Taken From Ship on Way to New Orleans as Friends Gather.

An advisory council of leading racial organizations today was working out plans to co-operate with Secretary of Labor Doak in a renewed campaign by the Labor Department to prevent frauds on aliens and racketeering in connec- tion with the enforcement of tior and naturalizatior. laws. A conference was held here yesterday by representatives of the organizations and Labor Department officials. Secre. tary Doak informed the conferees rack- eteering has been brought about largely by lack of information and of services available to the alien “within our bor- ders which has made him an easy prey for those who extort money from him.” The cabinet officer contended this racketeering is practiced not only on aliens illegally here, but on many more who are legally here, who are told falsely that some fault has been found with their papers and they must pay to avoid deportation. He estimated many millions of dollars each year are paid by aliens to these so-called gangs. He asserted the de- partment thoroughly understood the de- plorable situation throughout the coun- try resulting from this alien exploita- tion. In an effort to put a stop to it, he explained, he was asking the co-op- eration of the organizations interested in the protection for foreign-born. It was pointed by the Secretary that racketeers have been inducing rela- tives of aliens to bring their friends, by | illegal methods, into the country, to ex- tort money from them on the threats of | turning them over to department for deportation. Those who took part in the confer- ence were: Secretary Doak, Second Assistant Secretary of Labor Husband, Commissioner General of Immigral Hull, Commissioner of Naturalization Crist, the commissioner of immigration At Ellis Island, Edward I.

By the Associated Press. | COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 22.—Gov. | George White, Ohio's favorite son choice for the Democratic presidential | nomination, was on record today as | favoring early return of “good quality” ! beer and submission to the States of a | prohibition repeal amendment. | Long a supporter of the dry cause, the Governor formally declared his present attitude in replying to a letter from former United States Senator Atlee Pomerene of Cleveland, who will rominate him at the Democratic Na- tional Convention next week. | It was Gov. White's first statement on the liquor question since he told the | Women's Christian Temperance Union convention here recently that he would gt oppose a popular vote to settle the ue. While “unalterably opposed to the return of the saloon anywhere,” the | chief executive expressed the belief that legalization of beer “would have a salu- tary effect in bringing about a business revival,” would curtail consumption of bootleg liquor and “go a long way to- ward putting an end to racketeering n‘nii widespread lawlessness in our large cities.” | PERSONAL RIGHTS AGAIN SUSPENDED IN CUBA President Machado Given Author- ity to Curtail Constitutional Guarantees for 3 Years.

Pratt, head of the organization, said the situation had been noted and that steps would be taken against it. declined to reveal, however, just what action would be tak OF RAICHLE OPENS Lawyer’s Trial Begins Before Justice Letts in District Supreme Court. ‘The perjury trial of Prank G. Ralichle | of Buffalo, N. Y., law partner of former | Assistant Attorney General William J Donovan, opened in District Supreme | Court today before Justice F. D. Letts. | Selection of a jury which include: eight men and four women was con- | cluded just before the luncheon recess. Previously the court had overruled a motion by James O. Moore, Buffalo at- torney, seeking to have a portion of the indictment quashed. | Raichle came here from Buffalo in | the latter part of 1930 to assist in the | defense of G. Bryan Pitts and two | tion | other officers of the F. H. Smith Co. | who were brought to trial at that time | on charges of conspiring to embezzle | funds of the Smith Co. | During the trial the defense offered in evidence a number of authorizations | purporting to show Pitts was legally en- | titled to money the Government claimed he had embezzled from the Smith Co., | which he controlled as chairman of its | board of directors. The defense also had marked for identification 22 prom- issory notes made payable to Pitts and signed by Emory L. Coblentz, Frederick, Md., banker. lese notes, however, were never introduced in evidence, as, the court sustained an objection by the Government to their introduction. | Some months after Pitts and his co- | defendants, C. Elbert Anadale and John H. Edwards, jr., had been convicted on the conspiracy-embezzlement charges the grand jury returned an indictment against Raichle. The last two counts of this indictment, on which he is now being tried, charge him with suborna- | tion of perjury in connection with the introduction of the authorization and with obstructing justice in connection with the marking of the promissory notes. It is alleged that he induced Pitts to testify falsely concerring the author- izations, which, according to the Goy- ernment, were prepared in Florida shortly before the trial opened, al- | though they purported to reflect trans- actions which occurred several years before the trial. | It was revealed this morning that Pitts. Edwards and Anadale, formerly Raichle’s clients, will appear against| him during this trial as Government witnesses. The case is being prosecuted by As- sistant Attorney General Nugent Dodds and Neil Burkinshaw, a Special Assis- tant to the Attorney General, with the | assistance of Louis Loebl and Aaron W. Jacobson, special agents of the Bureau of Investigation. 1,003 BOOKS RETURNED Opening of Second Fineless Week at Library Sees Increase. ‘The opening of the second “fineless | week” at the Public Library Monday | saw the return of 1,003 books, swelling | the total received to nearly 9,000. The number was nearly double that of the previous Monday, when 553 vol- umes were returned to delinquents. | The “conscience box" collected 25 books Monday against 16 a week ago. At the central building and four major branches the total of canceled fizes| was $84.49. = e o) CITY KEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY. Card party, Carol Club, 809 E street, 8:45 pm. FUTURE.
