TA-12 % BONUS HARGHES N RUSH TO O FORESTRY CANPS Many Veterans Enroll for Work as Convention Nears End. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RECEIVES COMMITTEE Only 702 Take Part in Delayed Parade—Petition Not Presented at Capitol. ‘The rush for reforestation jobs was on at Fort Hunt today as the now ‘badly disorganized veterans’ convention prepares to close up business. By Mon- day it is expected that a majority of the present delegates will accept the denim work clothes of the Civilian Conservation Corps and start their con- ditioning period for work in the woods. In spite of almost frantic appeals of the left wing leadership, the official police count yesterday showed that only 702 men took part in the parade of those chanting: “We want our back pay Not a dollar & day.” Fail to Heed Leaders. The left wing spellbinders during the morning at camp had told the men that anybody who did not join the pa- Tade or who signed up for a forest job Bt $1 a day was “a traitor to the cause.” This did not stop some 1,500 men from signing up. There were ap- proximately 2,400 men in camp yester- day, and some 200 arrivals during the night or early today swelled this to about 2,600. Most of the new arrivals, from New York, said that they would sign up for the forest work. ‘The Mike Thomas, or right wing faction, has decided to stay and accept the forest jobs, and to continue the work of organizing the right wing move- ment in the forests. The parade yesterday, scheduled to start at 1 o'clock, finally got moving from the Monument Lot shortly before 4 o'clock. The slow transportation of the men from Fort Hunt by busses, several of which broke down en route, ‘was given as the reason for the late Received by President. ‘There was another long wait in front of the White House while a left-wing committee went in to see the President. The committee comprised George D. Brady, Edward J. Williams, A. Basil Wheeler, George Alman, Richard Love- lace and Alfred J. Sellers. Previously the President had received a right-wing committee, consisting of Mike Thomas, Ralph “Happy” Voight, Maj. Albert Wood, John L. Sullivan and Eddie Tomlinson, the four last-named all wearers of the Distinguished Service Cross. ‘The left-wing committee was non- commital when it emerged from the President’s ofice. The right-wing group fid it had had a “satisfactory” inter- w. ‘Then the parade went down 1- vania avenue and Constitution avenue to Delaware avenue, just west of the Capitol. By this time it was 5:45 o'clock and the Speaker and Vice Pr ident, to whom the left wing commit- tee had intended to deliver petitions, had long gone home. Will Make Another Attempt. ‘The sergeants at arms of the House and Senate offered to accept the peti- tions, but Brady got up on top of a truck and told his paraders that they would be presented at another time. “I want you to feel that the effect of this has not been wasted,” he shout- ed, cupping his hands to his mouth. ‘Then the weary marchers trudged back to Sixth street and Pennsylvania ave- nue and boarded busses for Fort Hunt and supper. While the ex-service men were wait- ing at the Monument Lot, Harold Foulkrod, one time leader of the right wing, who was excluded from the camp ‘Thursday because his credentials were said to be not in order, appeared with a large brief case full of documents, and gathering little crowds around him proceeded to pass them around. The documents recounted the Foulkrod po- litical exploits in behalf of the Demo- cratic national ticket in 1932, Displays Army Discharge. He exhibited an honorable discharge, | No. 242025, to Harold Foulkrod. It was | dated June 3, 1919, and took effect as of February 28, 1918, listing his char- | acter as “excellent.” It showed that | before joining the American forces he had served with the Worcester Regi- | ment of the British Army,.and had been in engagements at Alsace-Loraine, the Marne, Juvigna, Vesle and the Argonne. He said that this proved his creden- tials were in order. “As a result of my war services,” he said, “I went insane in 1920 and 1921, and I did certain things at that time, and that s what the Government is holding against me.” GARNER ATTENDS RITES FOR GILBERT Others Prominent in Official Life at Funeral of Newspaper » Correspondent. Funeral services for Clinton W. Gil- bert, head of the Philadelphia Public Ledger Bureau in Washington, were held yesterday afternoon at the chapel of Joseph Gawlers' Sons, 1754 Penn- sylvania avenue. Mr. Gilbert, who was | Cuban Exiles Visit Here CONFIDENT ISLAND WILL WORK OUT SALVATION. GUILLERMO CANCIO AND ALBERTO SAUMELL. HOUGH today oppression stalks the land, the l];eople of Cuba are confident they will be able to work out their own salvation and look with hope to the day when peace and tranquillity will reign in the island, according to Guillermo Cancio, young political exile, just freed from prison with his friend, Alberto Saumell. The two young men reached the Capital yesterday. Cancio, 30-year-old son of the noted Cuban economist, Leopoldo Cancio, and Saumell, who is 24, like hundreds of their associates, fell afoul of the Machado machine, which they are struggling to’ overturn, and a cell was their inevitable fate. Recently Released. He was freed May 6 after an im- prisonment lasting since February; Saumell was released only four days ago, having been in jail since July, 1931. They were arrested in the course of “round-ups” of anti-administration forces which, they explain, customarily follow any outbreak against the gov- ernment. It was the second for his companion, whose apprehension quez Bello, President of the Senate, afterward killed. Both were law students until the Uni- versity of Havana was closed, in 1930, and the plight in which they found themselves shortly thereafter was sketched by Cancio, who has best mas- tered the English language.

Cancio and another companion, Augusto Miranda, were taken to jail. The wounded youth, Felix Alpazar, was carried away in ,Cancio’s car. It was found, blood stained, on a country road later. Noth- ing was ever seen of Alpazar again. Cancio was held in jail only 62 hours at that time, but it was 11 months be- fore Miranda was freed. Again Under Arrest. ‘Then Cancio was arrested again, also Saumell, and freed in a general libera- tion of political prisoners reported in progress, with the understanding they would leave Cuba. They lost no time coming to this country, particularly since Cancio had been asked, during his imprisonment, if he would “prefer” to be shot or hang ed. Cancio proposes to stay in Washing- ton with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Tomasita C. Shea, 2815 Cathedral avenue, while Saumell is leaving tonight for New York.

RIVER POLLUTION CURBS SUGGESTED Gotwal’s Proposals Expected to Be Held for Action by New Officials. ‘Three proposals looking to an eventual attack on pollution of the Potomac River were contained in recommenda- tions laid yesterday before the Board of District Commissioners by Maj. John C. Gotwals, Engineer Commissioner. It appeared likely today, however that all three suggestions would be held over for action by the new Commis- sioners to be named by President Roose- velt, since they involve proposals for appropriations in the 1935 budget which will be prepared after the 1934 budget, now before Congress, is passed. $10,000 Item Included. One suggestion is for an appropriation in the 1935 bill of an item of $10,000 for chlorination of municipal sewage during July and August when the river is most used for recreational purposes. The work would be done in the river near the District sewer outlet below Blue Plains. A second suggestion is for the War Department district engineer to stop private interests from dredging at Oxon Bay on the ground this work is killing off plant life which provides oxygen needed to purify the river. Would Create Board. “The third proposal is for thescreation of an advisory board of engineers under the 1935 budget to study plans for de- velopment of a sewage disposal plant, between $8,000,000 and $9,000,000. Maj. Gotwals recommended approval of the recommendations, but pointed out that planning of a costly disposal plant appeared now to be premature because of the present financial condi- tion of the District. He added, however, that the demand for a disposal plant years. o [CHURCH TO HEAR UPSHAW Former Representative Will Give Talk on Old-Time Religion. “A Congressman’s View of Old-Time Religion” will be the subject of an ad- | dress by former Representative William D.

Armed with petitions carrying more than 100,000 signatures, representatives of the Women's International League | for Peace and Freedom went to the White House at noon today and called on the President to secure further | drastic cuts in military and naval costs and work for international agreements; | among nations to disarm totally. ‘The petitions stated: “We call upon you, Mr. President, to secure immediate action by Congress for a drastic cut in military and naval costs, thus releasing | money for relief and general welfare. | Wide Campaign Conducted. “We call upon you to use all your| | power to secure international agree- ment for universal total disarmament, | thus carrying out the spirit of the| | Kellogg pact.” Signatures were obtained during the | | 1ast month in a campaign covering the | | entire country.

The more than threescore units of the parade were to assemble at Third and Constitution avenue, preparatory to the start of the march at 2:30. A detachment of Artillery from Fort Myer, the mounted band from that station and a troop of Cavalry were to escort Harry M. Littell, supreme Tall Cedar, down Pennsylvania avenue from John Marshall place to Pifteenth street, where the line of march turns south to Constitution avenue, then west past the reviewing stand. Roosevelt to Be Absent. Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintend- ent, and a police escort were to lead the parade, composed of about 60 units and 50 bands, with a drill team accom- panying most of the units. President Roosevelt, himself a Tall Cedar, informed Marshal J. Fred Huber that he will be unable to review the procession, and in his place will be a number of Senators, Representatives and other high Government officials. Marshal Huber estimated the procession will require about an hour and a half to pass down the Avenue. ‘The Tall Cedars visited Arlington Cemetery this morning, where they placed & wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the convention will close formally tonight with initia- tion services for Capitol Forest, No. 104, ‘Washington, in the Belasco Theater.

ASSAL HTLERS " PEACE MESSAE Jewish Leaders, in State- ment Here, Say Racial War Belies Declaration. ‘The world cannot accept the Hitler assurances that he is for peace “so long as he is waging a bitter war against the Jewish people within his borders,” it was declared here today on the eve of the opening of the twelfth session of the American Jewish Congress, con- vened as an emergency session to deal with the anti-Jewish developments in Germany. The statement was issued over the names of -Rabli Stephen S. Wise, hon- orary president of the congress, and Bernard S. Deutsch, president. Approximately 400 delegates from every section of the country are gather- | ed here for the three-day meeting at | the Willard Hotel, opening with an ex- ecutive meeting this evening. Peace Declaration Assailed. In the statement issued this morn- ing, Dr. Wise and Deutsch say: | “As one listened to the chancellor of the German Republic, one wondered how a self-respecting and intelligent world could listen to a man who de- clared ‘I am for peace’ when within the borders of his own country he is waging the most damnable war against its in- habitants. “Is this a great day for peace when | a man who has forfeited for his coun- try and himself the decent respect of mankind is by an incredibly generous gesture on the part of the United States lifted up again, if only for a moment, to a position of respect among man- kind? “The American Jewish Congress will | at its Washington sessions deal with | the whole complex of Jewish problems. | From the viewpoint of organization, the | World Jewish Congress suggested and | urged by the American Jewish Congress | will have a dominant place in the pro- | ceedings. It is grim satisfaction to find | that the events of the year since the | World Jewish Conference of Geneva, | August, 1932, have confirmed us in our | belief that a World Jewish Congress is i the most imperative need of the hour.” Rainey Banquet Speaker. Speakers at tomorrow’s session open- ing at 10 o'clock in the morning will | include Rabbi Wise, who will speak on “Germany and the World Congress,” | and Prof. Horace M. Kallen of the New School of Social Research, who will lead the discussion of Rabbi Wise’s subject. ‘Tomorrow evening there will be a banquet at which Senator Gerald P. Nye, Speaker Henry T. Rainey, Repre- | sentative A. J. Sabath, Rabbi Wise and | Mr. Deutsch will speak. | The congress today issued statements | of sympathetic Christian clergymen, in- cluding one from Right Rev. James E. | Freeman, Bishop of Washington, who | sald: “I am confident every right-thinking | man and woman in the country is pro- foundly moved by the outrages that | have been perpetrated upon the Jews in Germany. Such a situation does not belong in this country. | Metcalf Makes Statement. | “I shall use every influence at my command to arouse public opinion in America to resist the forces that have conspired to cast a dark shadow upon ! the fair name of Germany.” Senator Metcalf of Rhode Island de- clared: “I cannot understand how, in these days of enlightened civilization, a great country can persecute by law and force any group of people of racial prejudice. To my mind, one of the most impor- tant things to be brought about in the world is the existence of a complete racial and religious tolerance.” PLANNING COMMISSION FAVORS CIRCLE CHANGE Further Consideration to Thomas Area Will Be Given by Fine Arts Body. The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission today was op record in favor of the alteration of Thomas Circle to speed up traffic in that area, and the Fine Arts Commission, at its meeting Friday, will give further at- tention to the problem. The Planning Commission engineer asserted the new program “does not disturb the trees or the statue of Gen. Thomas,” and provides an oval for the car tracks. From a distance, Maj. Gil- lette contended, Thomas Circle will look as 1t does at present. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

The joy-rider, who made off with a 33-passenger bus last night, has a rival not entirely destitute of ideas himself. Joy-rider No. 1 absconded with a bus which had just brought a party of New Jersey tourists to town and was parked at Water and N streets southwest, Joy-rider No. 2, however, went one better by seizing a police patrol car which he found at Connecticut ave- nue and Albemarle street. Moreover, Policeman 1. E. Dalziel had only left it for a moment. Both vehicles were recovered soon afterward within a few blocks of where their drivers left them.

Thrasher, as- sociate professor of education, New York University, declared last night at the annual meeting of the Soctal Hyglene Society at the Y. W. C. A. Efforts to curb crime, he said, should be started among small children. He pointed out that when people leave what once was the residential section of the city because of the encroachment of business and manufacturing, it ba- comes the hiding place of criminals. Children of such a section, with little hcme life, gravitate to the streets, he said, become members of “gangs” and get a conception of life warped be- cause of the life they lead. Studied 1,313 Gangs. He urged the society to undertake the teaching of sex life in the schools so as to counteract conditions taught in the street and declared this would help keep boys from becoming potential gangsters. His illustrations were drawn from a study of 1,313 gangs in Chicago. Dr. Willlam A. White, president of the society, opened the meeting, ex- plaining the channels through which social hygiene facts may be placed be- fore the public. Ray H.

Preparations to organize the South against prohibition repeal were begun by Southern Baptists today as a dele- gation of their convention leaders called at the White House and pre- sented to President Roosevelt a reso- lution deploring the return of beer and expressing the hope that he will not participate actively in the movement to repeal the eighteenth amendment. “We would regard repeal as a calam- ity to our Nation,” the letter given the President said. “We believe that pro- hibition at its worst is better than the legalized sale of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes at its best.” Vigorous Stand Forecast. ‘This move forecast a more vigorous stand in the convention Monday night when the social service report is ren- dered. Steps will be taken then to unite Baptist forces in the campaign to block repeal through the legislative machinery of a majority of the 18 Southern and border States. The delegation calling at the White House was headed by Dr. M. E, Dodd of Shreveport, La., acting president of the convention, and included one rep- resentative from participating States. They had been directed also to assure President Roosevelt of the earnest sup- port of the Baptist people in his efforts to relieve the distressed millions now without employment. That meant, among other things, a pledge of Bap- tist co-operation in the furnishing of church services to forestation camps as requested yesterday in an address by Dr. Julian Yates, chief of Army chap- ins. Tne Baptist delegation also conveyed to the President the hearty approval cf the convention of his “noble appeal to the rulers of all nations to maintain peace and to frown upon aggression on the part of any nation against an- other nation.” These actions, accompanied by a spiritual blessing upon the President, were embcdied in a letter prepared by the convention last night, for presenta- tion at the White House.

Dan- Iel‘slvkglg:m leanwhile, the convention session to- day devoted itself to consideration of vexing financial problems, particularly in comnection with the handicaps cre- ated by & $1,000,000 deficit in the for- eign mission fleld. Ground was laid for this work at a meeting last might at which 17 re- turned missionaries, all in thjs country on enforced furlough without salary, were presented. Three of them, J. L. Hart of Chile; I. M. Patterson of Af- rica, and Dr. John Lake of China made appeals for contributions to mission work. Dr. Charles E. Maddry of Rich- mond, Va., executive secretary of the Foreign Mission Board made a strong appeal for convention action to Hft the burden of debt from the board. The oldest and youngest convention, members were presented, James- Lomax Prazier, aged 8 of Fort Worth, Tex., and J. M. Hillard, age 86, of High Point, N. C., who is said -to -have at- tended every Baptist convertion-in the last 61 years. Missionary Reports. At tonight's session, beginning at 8 | o’'clock, reports will be made by the Woman's Missionary Union, the power- ful auxiliary of the convention, and other reports on honi¢ missions and missionaries. Tomarrow prominent Baptist pastors and lay workers will ¢upy ,\:m pulpits in practically every t church in Washington at morn- ing and - evening services. Southern Baptists face the necessity of cutting $50,000 or more from the foreign mission budget, compelling the holding in this country, without salary, of 30 missionaries now on furlough and ready to return. Thirty-two mission- aries in the field, due to come home on furlough, had to_ stay there, and 17 others resigned through necessity, Secretary Maddry reported. For the home missions, J. B. Law- rence of Atlanta, Ga., reported “meet- ing obligations on a constantly de- creasing income.” His twin, Dr. Joseph Thomas ‘Watts, lives in Baltimore. They were born at Raleigh, N. C., more than 50 years ago. Friends said they were named ‘Thomas and Joseph at birth, but they got so badly mixed in infancy no one could be sure the proper name got fastened on the Pproper person. So they gave both of them both of the names. They have been mixed up, whenever together, from that day to this. In his report on home missions, Law- rence told the convention the finances were in such a critical state that the board had a consultation with bankers just before coming to the convention. He said the debt totaled $1,647,000, but assured the convention he believed the bankers would “play along” with the church and “see them through.” Last year Southern Baptists spent only $121,000 for all home mission work, he said. That was less than the amount expended yearly before, he said. for Indian and Negro work and work among the foreign population in the cities alone.
