STUDENT EDITORS | CONFER ON WORK Newspaper Writers Speak at Convention at G. W. Officers Named. Various phases of newspaper work were discussed this morning at the annual press convention of high school editors of Washington, Maryland and Virginia at George Washington Uni- versity. The convention is under aus- pices of the “Hatchet” and Pi Delia Epsilon, national journalistic fra- ternity. The student journalists were divided into groups to facilitate their studies of special problems. Hudson Wells of Eastern High School was elected president of the convention late yesterday, the opening day. Other officers chosen were Owen Chappel, Alexandria High School, vice president; Virginia Clapp, Lee-Jack- son High School, secretary, and Robert Garrison, Central High School, treasurer. The convention opened yesterday morning with an address by Dean Robert Whitney Bolwell of the facu!ty. Laura Vitray of the Washington Post also spoke at the morning session. A luncheon was held at the Press Club, where Daniel de Souza of The Evening Star and president of the Washington Newspaper Guild, spoke. Dean Henry Grattan Doyle of the fac- ulty, told the students the prime requi- site for the journalists is intellec- tual honesty. Group meetings were held during the afternoon and in the evening the delegates attended the George Wash- ington-North Dakota foot ball game. After the game, they went to tne “Hatchet” printing plant to witness the final stages of make-up and print- ing of the special convention issue of the paper. Eugene MacLean, general manager of the Post, was to address a general session at 1:30 pm. today. Mark Foote, president of the National Press Club, and Nelson Poynter, business manager of the Daily News, will be the guest speakers at a banquet to- night in the Mayflower Hotel. Cups will be awarded the best high school annuals and newspapers submitted. A dance will follow the banquet. HIGHEST ALTITUDE PHOTO EXHIBITED Capt. A. W. Stevens Shows Rare Picture Taken in Strate- sphere. A photograph of the world's sur- face made from the highest altitude to which a mapping camera ever has been carried was shown by Capt. Al- bert W. Stevens, Army Air Corps, during a lecture last night before the National Geographic Society on the Alr Corps-Geographic Society strato- sphere flight of last July. The photograph, made at an alti- tude of 113; miles. covers 98 square miles of territory, the greatest cover- age ever made in a single vertical ex- posure. A special map made from the photograph also was shown as a demonstration of the value of such hizh altitude photography for mili- tary and commercial uses. Capt. Stevens described the scien- tific uses to which more than 150 salvaged photographs made during the flight are being put, including accurate checks on existing methods of measuring the altitude of aircraft, methods of checking maps and topo- graphic measurements and measure- ment of speed of drift of the balloon, which in turn serves as a key to air movement in the stratosphere. Capt. Stevens announced that latest reports from studies of cosmic ray records made by Dr. W. F. G. Swann of Swarthmore, Pa., from the material collected during the stratosphere flight indicate that the intensity of the little-known cosmic rays increases tremendously at the higher altitudes. At 40,000 feet above sea level these T are 39 times sea level intensity and at 55,000 feet increase to 60 times the sea level intensity. Salvaged records from the balloon now are being studied in laboratories in Pasadena, Calif.; Swarthmore, Pa., and Rochester, N. Y., Capt. Stevens said. —— MELLON SCHOLARSHIP REJECTED BY HARVARD Nephew of Former Secretary of Treasury Offered $1,500 for Study in Germany. By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,, November 24. —Harvard University officials said yes- terday that a $1,500 scholarship prof- fered by Matthew T. Mellon, nephew of Andrew W. Mellon, former Secre- tary of the Treasury, had been de- clined. The money would have financed a year’s study by a student in Germany. The position taken by the university in turning down the gift was similar to its attitude in turning down a $1,000 scholarship offered last June by Dr. Ernst F. S. Hanfstaengl, aide to Adolf Hitler, chancellor of Germany. SPECIAL NOTICES.

DAWSON CHARGES ELECTION FRAUD IN MONTGOMERY (Continued From First Page.) appearing on the tally sheet when the counting of the ballots was completed. Dawson also claimed in his petition that one of the Potomac district judges “abandoned and deserted” the polling place “one or more hours be- fore concluding the counting of the ballots.” He said that the judge de- clined further to participate in the counting of the ballots, and without arranging for a substitute, thereby depriving Dawson of the benefit and protection of the laws controlling elec- tions. Officials Left Posts. 1t also was stated that both Demo- cratic and Republican poll officials in one precinct of Bethesda district, at intervals during the counting of the ballots, left the polling place to eat, leaving the ballots, the receptacles containing the ballots and the polling place unguarded and unattended. The petition charges many other ir- regularities on the part of both poll- ing officials and voters, a number of which are identical to the allegations made by John B. Diamond and Ra- leigh S. Chinn, Democratic candidates for county commissioner, who filed re- count petitions earlier in the week. Dawson’s petition claims that 91 ballots were illegally counted for Pugh by poll officials throughout the county, while an identical number properly marked in his own behalf were not counted and returned to the Board of Canvassers. Unlawful Handling Charged. In addition, he declared, 180 ballots which were rendered invalid by “rea- son of the act on the part of the voters in marking them” or by reason of the “illegal and improper act of the judges of election in counting the same” were recorded in Pugh’s favor. It is charged in the petition that watchers and challengers of the Dem- ocratic party were unlawfully per- mitted to handle and inspect the bal- lots before, during and after the judges’ examination to determine whether or not there appeared on the ballots proper marks, erasures, identi- fication marks, etc., in an effort to determine whether the ballots should be counted as a whole. In certain instances, it is alleged, ballots were snatched from the hands of the judges by Democratic watchers and challengers and they were per- mitted to scrutinize the same, contrary to the rights of the petitioner. Accused of Sleeping. Dawson also accused “certain other Republican judges and clerks” in the Wheaton and Bethesda districts of sleeping at intervals while supposedly engaged in their duties in the count- ing end tallying of votes, leaving only Democratic officials to inspect, pass upon, count and tally the votes. Polling officials in every precinct, the petition says, counted for Pugh many ballots which should have been rejected because they were illegally and improperly marked by voters with cross marks outside the alloted spaces on the ballots, with marks other than those required by the statute and with identification marks. Mu- tilated ballots marked for Pugh also were passed and recorded, the petition avers. Certain ballots cast for Dawson were rejected by officials throughout the county, despite the fact that they were marked in every respect in ac- cordance with law, it is claimed in the document. a THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1934, BALA CLOSING SET |CITIZENS OPPOSE | FOR FOOD SHOW Double Attendance Expect- ed, With Auto Gift Feature; Event Great Success. The seventh annual food show of the District Grocery Stores tonight will stage a gala closing night, with both floors of the Washington Auditorium available for the usual large final night crowd. Since a week ago last Wednesday the display has attracted thousands of persons every day, and the throng tonight is expected to be double that of previous evenings. There will be room aplenty for all who come and duplicate gifts of food will be handed out on both floors. The major gift of the show, an auto- mobile, will be awarded. An amplification system similar to that which has made audible to all persons on the downstairs floor of the building the nightly proceedings, will be installed on the upper floor. An- nouncements wil be synchronized by a telephone system connecting the two halls. Most Successful Show. L. Jacobson, president of the Dis- trict Grocery Stores, Inc., character- ized this year's show as the most successful since the displays were begun seven years ago. Foods of all sorts, kitchen equipment, household furnishings and all the appurtenances of the home have been on exhibition in 67 booths and may be seen for the last time tonight. The automobile will be awarded at 9:30 pm., and the other presenta- tions will be in the nature of conso- lation gifts. An electric vacuum cleaner will be given away this after- noon. Seven couples took part in a hat- dressing contest last night, the final one of the humorous competitions which have been nightly features of the show. Any doubt that it was a sissy game was dispelled by the outcome. A ro- bust, hardy soldier, J. R. Smith, who appeared in uniform, was the winner. He admitted later, however, that his skill came from marriage rather than from martial training. The girls who modeled the hats were allowed to pick their partners from among the competing men. They also selected the hats they thought most becoming to them. Then it was up to the men to apply the trimming. 84 Cents Each Final Cost. The final products cost just 84 cents apiece and all the parts came from the 5-and-10-cent store. The trimmings consisted of flowers, feathers and ribbons. The results may not have been the most artistic in the world, but then a 5-and-10-cent store is a long way from a Fifth Avenue shop, and it must be admitted there is a little difference in the skill of an amateur and a modiste. The baby contest yesterday after- noon ended in a triple tie. Two of the prize infants were the twin sons j of Mr. and Mrs. Norman E. Ward of 236 Neal street northeast, John Rus- sell and Leroy Otho Ward, 2 years old. The other winning baby was James David Adams, 2!; years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Adams of 228 Third street. The main prize last night, a gas stove, went to J. Mulholland, 3505 Thirty-fourth street, Mount Rainier, Md. Earl Abbott, 3231 Volta place, received an electric washing machine yesterday afternoon. FRANCO-RUSSIAN ‘MILITARY ACCORD OFFICIALLY DENIED (Continued From First Page.) the declaration that Russia has prom- ised military aid to France should she be attacked by Germany. The officials gave as their reason the lack of a translation of the speech, but generally indicated they were of the opinion the statement was “mis- interpreted.” Soviet newspapers printed no re- ports of the French assertion. BERLIN SENSES DANGER. BERLIN, November 24 (#) —Reports of a Franco-Russian military alliance were viewed a5 having a possible “poisonous effect on the international atmosphere” here today. One government spokesman said “an alliance between two such highly armed nations as France and Russia is regrettable. “We do not feel concerned, because our western frontiers are safe enough, apart from the Saar, which will be ours after January 13. On the eastern side we are not contiguous to France's ally. “France is ready for protection against an eventual attack—from what side? Certainly not from ours.” _— Marriage Licenses.

PARKING BARRIER Anacostia Meeting Hits Plan to Post Nichols Avénue in Rush Hours. The Anacostia Citizens’ Association last night opposed erection of “No Parking signs on Nichols avenue southeast between Good Hope and Sheridan roads applying to morning and evening rush hours. The group also suggested that the street car stop at the southeast cor- ner of Good Hope road and Nichols avenue be moved to the northeast cor- ner and that a loading platform be installed between Good Hope road and S street southeast. The association heard a report from Charles Cashell of the traffic director’s office, giving traffic statistics pertain- ing to Nichols avenue between the two points designated. Approves Bus Plan. Dr. George C. Havenner, president of the association, approved the plan suggested by People’s Counsel William A. Roberts, to install a bus service from Good Hope road and Nichols avenue south to the Congress Heights area and residents in Washington Highlands. Dr. Havenner did urge, however, that the busses start on the streets. The association decided to join the newly formed Southeast Council of Citizens’ Associations and the presi- dent appointed Capt. Frank M. Dent, | William J. Tucker and Lorenz Thomp- son .as delegates. Suggests School Name. A motion was presented by Dr. Havenner that the new junior-senior high school, now under construction in Anacostia, be named the Anacostia Junior-Senior High School. This name was selected, he pointed out, not primarily because of its locality, but because of the historical signifi- | cance connected with the founding of Anacostia. A resolution was passed approving Public Library of the District of Co- lumbia and a letter was to be di- rected to the head librarian, Dr. George F. Bowerman, to this effect. ‘The association met in the Metho- dist Church Hall, Fourteenth and U streets southeast. TEACHER RELEASED INTRUNK DEATH CASE | Detective Says Woman Is Not Linked With Finding of | Three Bodies. By the Associated Press. BROOKLYN, N. Y., November 24— | A charge of homicide placed against Miss Ruby Clarke, 36. of Nyack, N. Y., after the bodies of three infants were found in a trunk which belonged to her, was dismissed yesterday. Miss Clarke, attractive former school teacher, had been held without bail | since Tuesday night, when she re- | turned voluntarily from a hunting trip in upstate New York after police in- formed her of the discovery of the bodies. Miss Clarke had stored the trunk in which the bodies were found in a Brooklyn warehouse in the Summer of 1932. The trunk contained only odds and ends when she stored it, she said. A detective informed Magistrate David Hirshfield that he had found no evidence linking Miss Clarke with the deaths of the babies. A. A. A. TO DISMISS 305 NEXT MONTH; 300 IN FIELD TO GO (Continued From First Page.) Employes in an effort to retain their names on the A. A. A. pay roll. Seek Farm Census Jobs. Meanwhile, temporary employes of the Census Bureau who are to be dropped from the rolls next month when their work is completed, held a mass meeting last night and adopted a resolution asking President Roose- velt to hold as many of them in serv- ice as possible, for the forthcoming farm census. These temporary employes lack civil service status, and have not been able to take a test to acquire it. Conse- quently they are barred from the farm census work under the terms of the executive order which provides that this employment must go to civil service employes. At the Census Bureau it is said tbat these temporaries number 135; all have had six months or more experi- ence and officials there would retain them if possible. Held by Commerce Lodge. The meeting last night was held under direction of Commerce Lodge, American Federation of Government Employes, and was addressed by E. Claude Babcock, the president; Charles I. Stengle of national head- quarters, and Miss Jessie Dell, for- mer member of the Civil Service Com- mission, who now is in the Census Bureau. These three were appointed to a committee which will seek signatures to a petition to be laid before the President, The meeting, held at Thomson School, also indorsed a petition from temporary Treasury workers who are seeking to retain employment which they are about to lose. ..

PRETTYMAN CITES EXTENSIVE DUTIES Round Table Luncheon Told Possibility of Slips ‘in Legal Work. Citing the huge volume of work handled by his staff, E. Barrett Pretty- man, corporation counsel, told the members of the Washington Round Table at luncheon at the University Club yesterday, not to be surprised “if we slip once in a while.” Prettyman and his staff of 16 as- sistants, in addition to their purely legal work, either attend as mem- bers or counsel the sessions of 16 boards or commissions of the District government, he said. He divided his official duties into six classifications: Advisory opinions, civil litigation, criminal prosecution, legislation, public utilities and mis- cellaneous. Last year, he said, his office wrote approximately 2,000 formal legal opinions; reviewed between 1,300 and 1,400 civil claims and suits; handled close to 54,000 criminal cases, includ- ing 26,000 traffic violations; liquor law cases, reviewed 2,000 contracts and bonds; handled 2,500 jury cases in Juvenile Court, 700 in Police and Traffic Court, 141 cases in District Supreme Court, 15 in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 660 lunacy cases, in addition to purely advisory work for all branches of the District government. Prettyman declared he is opposed to increasing traffic penalties, ex- plaining that higher penalties will re- sult in a larger number of demands for jury trials and an increase in jury trials will undoubtedly result in con- gested dockets. The corporation counsel also out- lined briefly, a number of bills to be the next session of Congress. PILOTS UNHURT IN CRASH Two Army Aviators Escape, but Ship Is Demolished. UTICA, N. Y, November 24 (#)— A new Army pursuit plane en route from Selfridge Field, Mich, to New York was demolished, but its two occupants, Maj. Ralph Royce and Lieut.
