AGTION PRESSED FORD. C. AIRPORT Federal and Civic Leaders! Stress Emergency at House Hearing. Emergency legislation to provide for continuation of the District air termi- nal, now privately operated at Wash- ington-Hoover Airport, was urged by representatives of the Federal Govern- ment and District civic organizations when hearings on the alport situation ‘were resumed today by the House Com- mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds. All witnesses appearing before the committee stressed the emergency char- acter of the legislation, declaring con- gressional action necessary at once, not | only to insure continuation of the air terminal, but also to protect the lives of thousands of air travelers visiting the Capital. The Commerce Department “feels very strongly that it is of great im- portance that something be done to im- prove conditions at the airport,” A. Pen- dleton Taliaferro, jr., cnief of the air- port inspection of the department’s aeronautic branch, said today. Alarmed by Conditions. “We have been considerably alarmed at the conditions at Washington-Hoover Airport,” Mr, Taliaferro said. “It is absolutely essent:al that Military road, now dividing +he airpor, bz closed so that the landing area may be enlarged. If this rcad could be closed and the grounds moved over it we would con- sider that safety is improved at least 100 per cent.” Mr. Taliaferro said the department is “heartily in favor” of the Government leasing the airport property for at least temporary operation by the Govern- ment. He advocated that the operation be placed in the hands of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of pub- lic buildings and public parks, declared that apparently private operation of the airport cannot be continued much longer in the face of the existing oper- ating deficit, and that Congress must act if the existing air transportation is to be preserved. Urged by Littlepage. Enactment of airport legislation was characterized as one of the most im-| portant projects for the District now | pending in Congress by Thomas P. Lit- | tlepage, president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Littlepage said the Inaugural committee, on which he serves, has had hundreds of requests from all parts of the country as to the condition of the local airport from people who expect ! to fly here March 4. He advocated im- mediate action as an emergency ep- pedient, leaving a permanent decision for the next Congress. ‘The Washington Board of Trade also requested passage of the bill through Ciarence A. Miller, chairman of its Air- gnrl Subcommittee. The hearings will COMMISSIONERS SET FOUR HEARING DATES Trensient Boy Problem, Blue Laws, Housing and Taxi Dances to Be Discussed. The District Cofmissioners yester- day set dates for fuor puhlic hearings on various matters.

Employe Found in Capital Apartment After Quarrel With Young Woman. Arrangements were being made to- day for the removal to Temple, Tex., of the body of Dennis Irvin, 28-year-old employe of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, who killed himself yes- terday while gazing on the photograph of a pretty young woman. Irvin, clad only in pajamas and bath- robe, committed suicide in the dinette of his apartment, in the 800 block of Eighteenth street, by inhaling illumi- nating gas from jets in the stove.

THE EVENIN BAR IN 10WA HELPS END FORECLOSURES |Opposition to Mortgage Ac- tion Spreads Over Sev- eral States. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, January 25.— association brought virtual cessation of farm mortgage poreclosures in one county yesterday as this problem con- tinued to occupy attention over a wide Midwestern territory. At Algona, Towa, where the bar as- sociation called upon its members to arrang2, if possible, amicable settle- ment between farmers and mortgage holders, only two decrees were asked in District Court out of 100 foreclosure cases called during the day. In one of the two the decree was entered with the consent of both parties. The bar | association’s plan provided also that no deficiency judgments be taken or receivers appointed until after the as- sociation had acted. Ask for Moratorium. Preparations were made by a Legis- lative Committee of the Illinois Tax- payers’ Association to ask Gov. Henry Horner to issue a proclamation for a | moratorium on farm mortgage fore- closures during the present emergency and until the Legislature can act. In Minnesota the Legislature will be asked to declare a two-year moratorium on farm debts owed the State. John | Meager, president of a Stearns County farm group, said Two hundred farmers gathered at Glenwood, Iowa, in anticipation that a deficiency judgment might be taken on the 260-acre farm of Max Leu of Malvern. No objections were made, however, when the insurance company Wwhich held a mortgage of $20,100 bid the full amount of the loan. Prosecutions Planned. At Jefferson, Wis, where Harold Dakin, district attorney who has an- nounced plans to prosecute farmers breaking up foreclosure sales, warrants were issued for 11 farmers charged with interfering with sale of mortgaged chattels on the farm of Otto Febock January 16. Dakin’s action in issuing the warrants was taken despite receipt of threatening letters. An unsigned let- ter from Iowa told Dakin he would be “taken for a ride.” A missive printed A Long-Distance Solution. BY H. A. RIPLEY. ROF.

Declaring “men have forgotten thelr | God,” the Most Rev. Michael J. Cur- ley, Archbishop of Baltimore, last night held that religion and a return to god- liness is the only key to solving the manifold problems ot the Nation today. ‘The prelate spoke before the quar- terly session of the Washington section of the Holy Name Society in St. Mar- | tin’s School hall. Urges Active Leadership. In urging members of the society to take a leading part in stimulating re- | covery through expounding Christ's teachings in social, business and politi- cal life, Archbishop Curley pointed out that Washington, as the National Capi- tal, is the logical point of origin for forces to combat the present-day evils. He said the new deities of “success, prosperity and pleasure” created by the American people were directly respon- sible for their economic ills. The Very Rev. Thomas F. Conlon, O. P, sharing the views of Archbishop | Curley, urged a campaign by laymen to bring the country “back to a realiza- tion of Jesus Christ.” “The object of the Holy Name So- ciety is the same today as it was in the thirteenth century,” he said. “It is not a social or beneficial society, nor is it a political machine. It is simply a religious society.” 15,000 Members Here. William J. Neale, president of the so- ciety, in his annual report, said the total membership of the Washington section now exceeds 15000. Activities | of the past year and for the ensuing| years aim at a program of building up junior groups, he reported. The report | was praised by Archbishop Curley. Mr. Neale was re-elected president of she section. Other officers chosen | purely and in ink, postmarked Barnesville, Ga., called the prosecutor “a hireling of the capitalistic class” and said he would | soon “feel a rope tightening about his neck.” Near Stanton, Nebr., the scheduled sale of chattels of John Reinold, renter, was postponed by the Federal referee in bankruptcy when approximately 4,000 | farmers gathered at the place.

Plans New Measure. In the interest of the District relief | fund, Chairman Byrnes of the House Appropriations Committee proposed t0-| day that the section of the bill disap- proved by the President be eliminated and considered in a second deficiency bill to be reported before the close of the session. He will confer this afternoon with Senators Hale and McKellar.

Senator Hale also said everything possible would be done to expedite pas- sage of the bill, Shortly after the bill was vetoed be- cause of the provision for a joint con- gressional committee to examine and determine whether tax refunds of more | than $20,000 allowed by the commis- | sloner of Internal Revenue should be | paid, the House sustained Mr. Hoover. The vote to override the vetc was 193 to 158, far short of the two-thirds necessary. Byrns will seek to have the bill, | passed without this proviso, which At- | | | constitutional. Hoover Bares Regret. The clause was inserted after Senator Norris, Repablican, of Nebraska, had criticized the present system of refunds under which the Treasury had approv- ed a return of $5869,951 to the estate of the father of Secretary Mills. The Attorney General passed on the validity in a lengthy opinion, which was sent forward to the House by Presi- dent Hoover with a message in which he expressed regret for the veto, be- cause it tied up funds urgently needed !for relief here, and for other causes, |including expenses for American par- ticipation in the next Geneva Confer- ence. The text of the President’s message follows: “To the House of Representatives “I return herewith without signa- ture— “H.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, January 25.— Plans of Mount Vernon as it is believed to have been when George Washington lived there are now on public exhibition in Rohinson Hall, the Harvard School of Landscape Architecture announced today. The plans are the first to be drawn since Washington's own time, and in- clude research drawings rexealing hitherto unknown detzils concerning the abode of “the father of his country.” Excavations condusted by Prof. Mor- ley J. Williams of the School of Land- | scape Architecture show that the orig- inal estate as occupied by Washington from 1760 to 1785 was much smaller that it is today, and the gardens of an entirely different character, Landscape and Architecture School official said. Investigation indicated that the orig- inal layout was of the medieval type, In 1785, Mount Vernon was greatly altered and expanded to accomodate the increasing number of visitors to the home of the Commander-In-Chief of the successful American Armies, and the gardens were completely altered to their present in- formal English style. ever should become law, “not enly would the proviso resdecting the power of the Joint Committee to authorize refunds be void, but the deficiency appropriations for payment of refunds would fall with it.” Mitchell argued that any act giving power to a congressional committee to authorize refunds would violate the Constitution, since it would allow the legislative branch to encroach upon the domain of the executive branch. Returning to the time of George ‘Washington, the Attorney General de- tailed how he and one after another of the Presidents who followed him had vetoed measures because they felt it necessary to “resist interference with the executive power.” He pointed out that such action had been taken among others by Presidents John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, John Jackson—on six differ- -Buchanan, Grant, Hayes and Wilson “Each President,” he added, “has felt it his duty to pass the executive au- thority on to his successor, unimpaired by the adoption of dangerous prece- dents.

Encroach- ments on the executive authority are not likely to be deliberate, but the very fact makes them all the more insidious.” Fourteen Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to override. Two Democrats voted to sustain. Chairman Byrns made the only statement on the floor. “I haven't had the opportunity to read the opinion of the General.” Byrns said, “it covers a good many pages. But the very fact it does cover so many pages leads me to be- lieve the Attorney General found some difficulty in arguing himself into a| decision the provision was unconsti- tuticnal. “In providing for this money to be paid out to individuals, it seems to me Congress has and should have the right to prescribe the circumstances by which the refund should be made.” Representatives Mapes, Michigan, Re- publican, tried to postpene action, but was beaten. 191 to 169. ‘The 14 Republicans voting to over- ride were: Amlie.

This was disclosed By a government- Inspired stetement by the semi-official | Wolff News Agency, according to which the government will not tolerate fur- ther adjournment of the Reichstag. Criticize Schleicher. Earlier in the day the Nationalist members of the Reichstag adopted a resolution saying that the chancellor was dilly-dallying and that he was liquidating the idea of an authoritary government. The government view is that the unsettled political situation is jeopardiz- : Ing business and domestic tranquillity, and that it would merely be prolonged by another adjournment of the Reichs- tag, as the legislature could meet again any time it pleased and the Na- tional Socialists have openly threat- ened to topple over the government the moment they choose.

PROGLAIMS DEATH FOR ALL GRAFTERS Chen Chi-Tang Makes Cor- ruption More Serious Crime Than Murder. CANTON (Special).—Death for cor- ruption in governmental circles is the penalty threatened against any official in the Kwantung provincial govern- ment, according to a recent decree pro- mulgated here. Gen. Chen Chi-tang, chairman of the Kwangtung government, appears to be determined to inaugurate a new mo- rality among his colleagues, and is se- lecting the most drastic measures to enforce it. Recently Gen. Chen enunciated a set of rigid ethics for government of- ficials in which all vices, negligence of duty, nepotism, etc., are considered se- rious offenses. He ranks official thiev- ery as a more heinous offense tban crimes committed by private citizens. Under him, the southwestern Kuo- mintang has decided that the accept- ance of bribes, participation in smug- gling narcotics and other articles on which there is a government embargo, are to be regarded as crimes warrant- ing capital punishment. More Serious Than Murder. Like the U. 8. S. R, Gen. Chen be- lieves crimes perpetrated with the in- tention of robbing the state for personal gain should be regarded as immensely more serious than crimes committed by individuals for revenge, out of jealousy and other motives. He would rank even murder as a less grievous offense than embezzlement of state funds. Nepotism, “squeeze” or petty embez- zlement, acceptance of bribes in the form of gifts, has long been considered the prerogative of afficials. An old tra- dition of the Manchu imperial govern- mental system, it has died hard in modern “republican” China. Gen. Chen’s drastic indictments of it as the “core of our national corruption” do not promise to be popular among Kuo- mintang officials. No Officials Executed. “Chung yung,” Chinese doctrine of compromise, which rules all human re- lationships, is expected, however, to work here, as in all things. No officials have been executed, although nightly dozens of them journey across the river to Ho-nam, Cantonese suburb, where they gamble at pie-chu and fan-tan, consummate deals in opium traffic and so forth, Gen. Chen'’s latest threat to his sub- ordinates is the creation of a “raiding squadron” to catch delinquents in their vice practices. (Copyright, 1933.) MRS. ANNIE S.
