COL. HOUSE VISITS PRESIDENT S BOAT Prpblems Before London | "Conference Believed Un- der Discusison. ___(Continued From First Page) Bernard M. Baruch, now the unofficial policy spokesman of Mr. Roosevelt in ‘Washington, who had arranged to con- fer in New York with the Assistant Secretary today. Moley also has been in continuous touch with the American delegation at London by cable. Speculation in the meantime turned on the motive behind yesterday's new assertion by Dean Acheson, Under- secretary of the Treasury, that the ad- ministration did not see any reason for quick stabilization. Dollar Goes Lower. Washington, conscious of Mr. Roose- velt's desire to see the world’s major currencies level off without artificial support before the dollar is pegged, noted that the United States blocking of stabilization has sent the dollar tumbling lower in the world markets, noted too fresh French alarm that tae dollar decline would force the franc itself off the jealously held gold stand- ard. The effect of the Treasury declara- tion was particularly pointed since the consternation caused at the London Conference by the Roosevelt veto of the first stabilization proposal had been considerably allayed by the American plan for revalorization of world curren- cles, which has been gaining many ad- herents among the conferring nations. The Washington officials had no com- ment to offer on the dollar’s move—in fact, refused to discuss this or the French gold situation—but they did mention again that the United States ‘wants other objectives accomplished at the World Conference before the sta- bilization question is solved. Since France has ‘insistently heid that fixing the fluctuating currencies is necessary if the conference is to get anywhere, there was no idea here that the Treasory actually visualized indefi- nite postponement of that step, and some American move was looked for to answer the French proposals for ad- Journment of the parley.” Sees “Smaller America.” ‘Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Speaker Rainey said that if the World Economic Conference at London “fails, we will have to be a smaller America.” “During the last three months there has been a great change in thought in this country,” he told newspaper men. “During the past three administra- tions the American people were in- fluenced to believe that America was self-sufficient and could live alone. “But within the past three months people have decided that they want to do_international business. “Industrialists who clamored for high tariffs in this country now are clamor- ing for a reduction of tariffs in foreign countries. “One of the primary purposes of the London conference is to obtain a reduc- tion in tariffs. If the conference at London fails, we won't be able to do as much foreign business as we would like. We would have to be a smaller America. I would regret to see that.” Rainey said that without a lowering of tariffs by all nations and the stabili- zation of exchange, the world “cannot regain prosperity.” egl’mmp‘wme officials last night there came the assertion that the attitude of the numerous countries represented at the conference should be given care- ful consideration before any action was taken on the French move toward ad- Journment. Given Undue Importance. These expressed the view that the stabilization question had been given undue importance by France and other gold standard countries and that many things could be accomplished in ad- vance of an accord on this subject. With this in mind, &s well as the disastrous affect upon public opinion, which they believe would follow ad- journment, they argued that the parley could and should continue profitably ‘without a recess. However, if it should become apparent that a dominant proportion of the na- tions involved favored a postponement of the parley’s work, the United States delegation undoubtedly would acquiesce. —_——— KILLS OTHER WOMAN, WOUNDS HUSBAND Wife Becomes Enraged Upon Find- ing Couple Together on Her Return From Visit. By the Associated Press PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, June 21.—A wife enraged at finding her husbnndl with & strange woman in their home, shot and killed the woman and seriously wounded her husband. The story of the double shooting was told in detail by the wife, Mrs. Ethel Pusateri, 45, police said as they pre- pared to file charges of second-degree murder against her. Mrs. Pusateri and her daughter, | Nancy, 18 had gone to Cincinnati to | visit. They returned unexpectedly shortly before midnight and found the house darkened. Mrs. Pusateri was attracted by a noise in an upsta room, she said, and Nancy called out to her father, August Pusateri, 46, well known whole- sale fruit dealer. He answered and soon afterward ap- peared at the head of the stairs to re- quest Nancy to have the family auto- mobile filled with gasoline. Mrs. Pusa- terl said she went to a sun porch to await Nancy's return. Pusateri and the woman, identified by relatives today as Mrs. Ermatrude Bat- terson McCoy, 28, came down the stairs, evidently believing Mrs. Pusateri had ac- companied her daughter. As they ap- proached the door and prepared to leave, Mrs. Pusateri said she snatched a rifle owned by her daughter and fired four times She then called a private hospital, where police found the woman dead and Pusateri wounded in the chest. The woman had been shot through the head. Police tound Mrs. Pusateri in the yard taking off her shoes. She ap- peared dazed. but later. nervously but clearly, she told her story at the police station.

Cruise of the THE EVENING Amberjack II Hearty Reception Given Schooner’s “Crew” at Gloucester—President Is Presented Picture and Fish by Famous Fishermen. BY JAMES ROOSEVELT. ON BOARD AMBERJACK II GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 21.—We arrived safely in Gloficester harbor after a bully sail from Nantucket, mak- ing first leg of cruise by night sailing and navigation. Gloucester's reception was enthusiastic, harbor craft giving deafening salutes. The outstanding feature of the re- ception here was the presentation to- day to the President of a beautiful por- trait of the schooner Gertrude Thebaud by Capt. Ben Pine, famous racing skip- per, with his no less famous ship. ~ The Gloucester fisherman virtually loaded the Amberjack II with a crate of fish, one being a 45-pound halibut. \ Newspaper Men Busy. Movie cameramen, newspaper pho- tographers and newspaper correspond- ents had a field day making pictures, writing stories and enjoying the cruise on the picturesque harbor waters. We are still having difficulties with the galley stove, which refuses to warm our breakfast when the wind is from certain quarters, and providence seems to favor winds from directions which | give us a cold stove and breakfast. Yesterday's and last night's cruise from Nantucket tired the Amberjack I's crew and all members turned in soon after reaching anchorage. Snores both on the intake and outgo soon were heard from certain members of the crew, but all hands were on deck early this morning, ready and pleasantly an- ticipating today's proposed run to| Portsmouth. We were delayed some- | whet by a most hospitable reception. | The Amberjack II, however, was under | way again shortly after noon. Fine Day Yesterday. Yesterday the wind was light all day, and so the four-cylinder engine was on duty nearly all the time. Directly of Chatham she began to fail and finally died altogether. We all tried, under Paul Rust’s leadership, to suggest cures. Nothing worked. We all voted for a tariff on water when mixed with gasoline. Finally the ma- chinist’s mate of the Navy cutter came over and mended a short circuit and away we went again. Very shortly the destroyer Bernadou hove in sight. We had left her in Nan- tucket. She brought Raymond Moley, Assistant Secretary of State, who flew from Washington. We hove to and he came aboard. The skipper went below to confer with him and for the first time, so far, serious problems affecting theantion were decided aboard this craft. Moley Gets Ride. We kept running right along. so Mo- ley had a fair amount of experience in New York, all within 15 hours. | About New York landed on the water nearby. later we received a message from the destroyer saying the plane had become disabled and shortly both convoying de- stroyers disappeared, so we don't know just what did finally happen.

BARNSTABLE, Mass, June 321 P)—Cyril Buck, who with his brother, Kenneth, is chatged with the kidnaping of Margaret (Peggy) McMath, collapsed on the witness stand in Barnstable Superior Court today as he started to testify in his own defense. By the Associated Press. BARNSTABLE, Mass., June 21.— Margaret (Peggy) McMath was es- corted to the witness stand in Barn-| stable Superior Court today to tell a| judge and jury of her kidnaping ex- periences. Before her sat Kenneth and Cyril| Buck, brothers, charged with the kid- naping. For three days and nights, the State contends, she was kept in the company of Kenneth in & cranberry shack and beneath the floor of a vacant house, being led to believe he was her friend who was shielding her from ‘kidnapers.” Peggy was scheduled as the last witness for the prosecution. The 10-year-old child brushed her black hair back from her forehead with a sweep of her hand as she answered questions put to her by the smiling prosecutor, William C. Crossley. As D. C.

She testified they then went to “the town landing,” where she and “Daddy” rowed out to the schooner Bob in Wychmere Harbor. She said that later Cyril rowed out with “Mother” and Harold Sawyer and that “Daddy struck a match so that mother could see me.” St CITY HEADS AWARD | SEWER CONTRAGTS Four Large Projects Will Be Constructed at Cost of $117,403.09. 1 Contracts for construction of four | large sewer projects, having a total cost of $117,403.09, were awarded yester- day by the District Commissioners. The work will provide employment for a con- siderable number of laborers estimated to run at the rate of 700 men for one | month or 100 men for seven months, | depending on the amount of time re- quired for the work.

The Western delegation, headed by Marshall Dana of the Portland, Oreg., | Journal, and chairman of the Western Reclamation Association, resumed their conferences with governmental officers today with representatives of Dongld H.

The money is being asked from the $3,300,000,000 public works fund and would be used to repair and complete existing reclamation projects without building new projects. Delegation members said the prime necessity is to make available more water in existing projects and to lower production costs as much as possible.

MOLEY CONFIDENT OF PARLEY RESULTS Says There Is No Possibility of President Attending Lon- don Conference. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, June 21.—Assistant Secretary of State Raymond F. Moley salled for London today, saying that America may expect “definite results” | from the work of the American delega- | tion to the World Economic Conference. Prof. Moley sailed on the liner Man- hattan as a special representative of President Roosevelt, with whom he had a conference yesterday. He was accompanied by Herbert Bayard Swope, former newspaper ex- ecutive. President Won't Go. Prof. Moley said there was no possi- bility that the President himself might “I talked the whole matter over with him yesterday,” he said, “and the in- structions I received were not in the nature of specific orders. “T can be useful to the delegation in giving them background. There have been many developments here since they sailed.” Bernard F. Baruch was at the pier to see Moley, but missed him through a misunderstanding. Moley and his party boarded the ship without reporting Lo the passenger agent. Consequently when Baruch asked for Moley he was told that he was not yet aboard.
