PRESIDENT RUSHES WORK ON MESSAGE Expects to Complete Writ- Ing by Tonight—Delivery “Likely Friday. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt is spending New ‘Year day working on his annual mes- sage to Congress and putting finishing | touches to his message accompanying the budget estimates, also to be sent to Congress after it convenes. The President said early today he expected to be laboring the greater part of the day. He made no arrange- ments for any formal observation of New Year holiday. Like millions of others throughout the country the President remained | up last night to see the New Year in and consequently remained in bed this morning later than usual. Retired After 1 O'Clock. It was past 1 o'clock when Mr. Roosevelt finally retired for the night. During the earlier part of the eve- ning he had presided over a New Year eve dinner party in the state dining room, and afterward enjoyed an entertainment in the east room, the feature of which was a sleight- of-hand performance by J. Elder Blackredge, an amateur magician. The President following this watched the cancing of the young folks and later went to his study on the second floor of the White House, where with Mrs. Roosevelt and his mother, Mrs. Sarzh Delano Roosevelt, he awaited the new year. The dinner party at the White House last night preceding the dance ‘was in honor of James Roosevelt, the eldest of the Roosevelt sons, and his ! What’s What Behind News In Capital Headache Plus Japan Plus U. S. Equals Wrong Naval Answer. | BY PAUL MALLON. F YOU have a New Ydar head- ache, don't try to put two and two together in the Japanese naval trouble. Even with a clear head you would get the wrong answer. The subtle purposes of diplo- macy cannot be reduced to arithmetic. It is true that the arms limitation treaty is probably lost for the present. Privately, our people do not expect | Japan to give in, and we certainly have no idea of surrendering. It is also true that our fleets are going through unusually fancy maneuvers not far from each other in mid-Pacific next Summer; that legislation to limit war profits will probably be enacted before then; that diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States | are fast becoming no better. Yet the sum total of these facts is not what it seems to be. In reality, it is not even enough to make a major crisis. ‘War Talk Nil. There is no war talk at all here among people who know what they talk about. There is some conversa- tional gossip, in idle moments, but 10| jout of 10 authorities in the State, War | and Navy Departments do not even think of the existing situation in terms of war. They look on it as diplomatic haggling which is not even dangerous if every one keeps his head. wife, and Elliott Roosevelt, the sec- ond eldest son, and his wife. The Elliott Roosevelts were delayed on their journey back from Texas, where they had been spending the Christmas holidays and, therefore, did not ar- rive in time for the dinner party. They reached the White House in time for breakfast this morning. As was done last year, the President and Mrs. Roosevelt omitted a New Year day reception. No Engagements Today. Mr. Roosevelt made no engagements for today. He would make no predictions to- day, but hopes to complete the mes- sage some time tonight and get it to the Public Printer in time to correct his proof sheets before noon tomor- Tow. It is likely the President will go to the Capitol in person to read his mes- sage. It has not been decided yet Jjust what day the message will be read, although it is understood that 1t will probably be Friday, the day fol- lowing the convening of the Congress. The budget message will follow prob- ably Monday. STEALING OF ORANGES BRINGS 2-YEAR TERMS Fruit Taken From Refrigerator Car, Pair Confess on Seizure by Rail Detectives. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., January 1.— Because of a legal technicality, two youths received 2-year sentences in Algoa Reformatory today when they pleaded guilty to stealing two dozen oranges. The pair—Howard Miller, 18, Day- ton, Ohio, and Oliver Thomlinson, 18, St. Louis—were apprehended at New- burg, Mo., December 28 by Prisco Railroad detectives. The boys sald they had been attempting to find work and were ‘“riding the rods” to their homes. “We just moved a bar about an inch so we could get our hands in a refrigerator car to get some oranges,” Miller explained. “Gosh, we were hungry.” .

By the Assoclated Press, BOSTON, January 1.—Resolutions indorsing the establishment of a Fed- eral youth service and condemning censorship of college publications were adopted by the tenth annual Congress of the National Student Federation of America.

CHICAGO, January 1.—Tip to the underworld: A good resolution for the new year apparently would be to steer clear of Chicago. The reason—police here killed 34 criminals in 1934 and private watch- men and citizens boosted the number by 24 for a total of 58, as compared Wwith 33 in 1933. Chief among fallen desperados here was John Dillinger, bui he went to the Federal scorecard, Ten policemen lost their lives in 1934, compared with fifteen for the previous year. LAWMAKER FILES SUIT Head of Legislators’ Association Sues for Divorce. LA GRANGE, Ky., January 1 (#).— A divorce from his wife, Helen Strong Belknap, wsa sought in Oldham Cir- cult Court yesterday by William B. Belknap, president of the American Legislators’ Association. Belknap, a member of the State Legislature, claimed incompatibility. The Belknaps' 2,000-acre estate, Land O'Goshen, is noted for its hospi- tality. Mrs. Belknap, formerly a vol- unteer teacher at Berea College, is an expert equestrienne. Balknap asked custody of three children. — New York Writer Dies. NEW YORK, January 1 (P)— Charles Brandebury- De Camp, 60, former literary editor of the Metro- politan Magazine and an editor writer or the New York Herald Tribune, lied yesterday after & long illmess. \ Their reasoning is convincing. The Japanese fleet is slightly su- perior to ours in its home waters, but sharply inferior to ours in our waters. Neither needs to fear the other if it stays where it belongs. Under our building program, we will not reach for eight years the strength allowed us under the de-! nounced treaty. Unquestionably, we | will speed up that program eventu-I lally, but neither Japan nor the | United States can go beyvond its treaty restrictions until two years | from last Saturday. (The treaty is in effect until two years after de- | nunciation) From a strictly naval standpoint, therefore, the ideal time | {for us to go to war would be no socner than five years from now. Also, the denounced ‘treaty calls for a conference of all parties next December. Many things will happen before then. Indeed, it would not be surprising if there were a social upheaval in Japan. Neither Wants War. The most convincing argument ‘against war, however, is the old fact that we do not want it and | Japan dbes not want it. We know| what Japan is up to. She wants to build up her empire in the Far | East She will reach out bsyond ! the borders of Manchukuo as soon as she has absorbed that area com- ipletely. Many of our authorities are secretly convinced that she started this naval argument partially as a move to distract world attention from her purpose. A war nmow would bring the world powers down on her neck and ruin her expansion program. She will not be s foolish as to bring it on. State Secretary Hull has used the Ppublicity rapier sharply in fencing | with Japan lately. He heard 24 hours in advance that the Japanese denunciation of the | naval treaty was coming. Immedi- | ately he gave out a new protest against a Japanese oil order in Man- chukuo. That order requires all cil companies to keep six months’ supply on hand. Of course, the Japanese want to seize the ol in event of war, Oil is their major weakness. { | | Afterward, when the denunciation note was delivered, Hull hastily pre- pared a statement of the American position. He did not give it out im- mediately, but held it back for morn- ing papers, so as to get maximum pub- licity against the Japanese note. There will be much of this sort of fencing from now on. Untrusted Resolutions. The invisible reporter is not en- tirely trustworthy, but he has collected & number of New Year resolutions supposed to have been made mentally by New Deal statesmen. They in- clude: President Roosevelt—"“I hereby re- solve not to permit reform to interfere with recovery.” Mr. Morgenthau—“Keep the gold and let the silver go; also send a Christmas card to Controller O'Connor next year.” Mr. Hull—“Allow George Peek one trade agreement, possibly with Li- beria.” Mr. Farley—“To carry the air mail myself next time. Mr. Richberg—“Never to believe anything until I see it in book form.” Mr. Ickes—"“To have Glavis investi- gate me.” Prof. Tugwell—"To be seen but not heard.” Wishes Ahead. The same unauthoritative source re- ports with more of a ring of sincerity what they are looking forward to in the coming year: Mr. Roosevelt—Recovery. Republicans—Leadership. dsennor-elect Rush Holt—A birth- ay. Senator Borah—A white-haired scalp. Republican Chairman Fletcher— Borah, Mrs. Roosevelt—Homesteads with porches. Speaker-to-be Byrns—The recess of Willism Green—An interpretation of 7TA. Donald Richberg—Twelve months without Gen. Johnson. Gen. Johnson — Twelve months without Richberg. Harry Hopkins—Another job.

COLON, Panama, January 1.—Pre-, cautions described by old residents as| unprecedented in the history of the, Panama Canal were taken here today as rumors of threats to blow up Gatun Locks spread through the area. The canal authorities were quick to deny the receipt of a reported anony- | mous note to H. M. Thomas, assistant superintendent at Gatun. It was reported the strict precautions : would be taken for a four-month | period. No outsider was permitted to enter the lock area.” Three sentries and a Canal Zone policeman were stationed at the gates. All employes, who carry packages are being searched. The 14th Infantry Company was en- camped on the wall of the lock. The Military Intelligence Service and Thomas himself, denied receipt of the note. Tourists arriving here on the S. 8. Kungsholm were refused entrance to the lock area. United States Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, a passenzer aboard the ship, smiled when he and his party were forbidden entrance to Gatun Lock, as a Japanese freighter was being locked through. - RECOVERY IS NEAR, SAYS GEN.

RICHMOND, Va., January 1 (#).— The promise of 1935 seemed bright to Mrs. Ethel Andrew who received word today that she is heiress in law to at least one-fourth of the estate of the late Walter Garrett of Philadelphia, estimated at $17,000,000 in value. Mrs. Andrew said a cousin, James Garrett, of Columbus, Ohio, had in- formed her that only establishment of their idefitity is necessary for them to share in the fortune of the Phila- delphia capitalist, who left no imme- diate family except his widow, who died without making a will.

SHEPHERD, Tex., January 1 (#).— Tyrun Clark, son of Charles Clark, Polk County treasurer, and Clarence Lowrie, & tailor, were charged -with murder last night for the fatal shoot- ing of Frank Laverine, 30-year-old Mexican.

L Atter shivering in the snow and ice of the Adirondack fastnesses for more than two days, the men were led and carried to safety late yesterday by a party of rugged native woodsmen. It was the snow that softened | their fall and saved their lives when the luxurious airliner crashed Friday night on Wilder Mountain, 25 miles north and east of here. One of the men, Dale Dryer, co- pilot of the airliner, had become de- lirious. He dashed away from his companions and into the bleak woods. The rescuers brought him back. Tells of Suffering. Ernest Dryer, pilot, who is in St. | Elizabeth’s Hospital here with frac- | tured ribs and frost-bitten hands and feet. said: “We suffered a good deal. If the | Pertello boys (the rescurers) had not got there when they did we couldn’t have kept a fire going. We were too weak.” Dale Dryer, with a broken jaw and facial. lacerations, and J. H. Brown, pilot who was a passenger, were also in the hospital. R. W. Hambrook of the Federal Bu- reau of Education, fourth member of the party, came through the ordeal comparatively unscathed. Arriving in Utica, he shaved and caught a plane for New York City. He, too, had despaired of his life. Tells of Plane Crash. “We knew we were done for if no one found us Sunday night,” he said. Upon his arrival at New York last night, he expressed willingness to fly on to his ultimate der “~ation, Wash- ington, but was held to tne ground by adverse weather conditions. He in- sisted he would resume the flight to- day. He told a story of the plane crash: “Suddenly we felt there was some- thing wrong, but there was no panic among any of us. We felt the left motor go and knew we were losing altitude. The next thing we knew we hit the trees. “I saw the plane knock a tree com- pletely over and the wings were torn out. We dropped into a snowbank, and I think that is what saved our lives. Hambrook Wires Chief. Frank Cushman, chief of the Trade and Industrial Education Service, Federal Board for Vocational Train- ing, received a telegram last night from Robert W.

The mere fact it had been an- nounced and pretty generaily under- stood there would be no New Vear day reception at the White House to- day did not deter John W. Hunefeld, the Northeast painter, who has heen prominent at the head of the line in past receptions, from making his an- nual appearance at the Executive Mansion. “I thought I'd better come,” Hune- feld explained, “in case Mr. Roosevelt changed his mind and decided to do some receiving. I also wanted to keep my record clear.” What Hunefeld meant by this was that he wanted to be first in line even though there was nothing to be first in line for. He is very proud of his rec- ord, and said today that it is his aim to come to the White House gate every New Year day as long as he lives. “If New Year day passes without me showing up, you will know I am ejther sick in bed or dead,” he explained. Wears Special Tie. Hunefeld, as usual, wore a brightly- colored necktie, whichehe said he wears only for White House visits. “I had it on the first time I was first in line,” he said, “and it brought me Iuck then and ever since.” Speaking of his record, the veferan first-in-liner explained that he does not count the time & young woman edged her way in front of him when he was at the head of the line forming at the west gate in 1928. He said the ‘woman represented herself as a news- paper reporter, so he did not take is- sue with her at the time. Except for New York State Teachers’ Association in Syracuse.

TREASURY DEFIGT | NEARTWO BLLON $1,696,286,861 More Spent Than Received in First Half of 1934, | By the Assoclated Press. The Treasury closed its bovks on the first half of the fiscal year with ' | the deficit rapidly pushing toward the | | two-billion-dollar mark. | With figures for the last two days | still to be made public, this excess of | | money spent over money received ! | stood at $1,696.286,861, in spite of an increase of nearly half a billion in revenues. Expenditures Greater. Both general and emergency ex- penditures were greater than in the corresponding period a year a2go to produce a correspondingly greater deficit than that of $1,152,972,595, which the books revealed on Decem- ber 28, 1933. Borrowings to finance the adminis- tration recovery drive over the last six months jumped the public debt by neerly a billion and a half. When the fiscal year began, it stood at $27,053,- 141,414—last Friday, it was $28,480,- 663,124, And the $1,427,521,709 borrowed all has been spent and a little besides, for the Treasury’s cash balance is now about $20,000,000 less than when the fiscal year started last July 1. With these facts before them, Presi- dent Roosevelt and his advisors are constructing a budget for the re- mainder of the current fiscal year &nd for the fiscal year which will end June 30, 1936. It probably will be submitted to Congress next Monday. Message Is Awaited. The message and its figures are awaited with intense interest by all in Washington, for it will reveal with exactitude the Chief Executive’s plans for relief payments through the rest of the Winter and the size of the pub- lic works program he has in mind. Unofficial estimates of its extents have ranged from 2 to 10 billions. ‘The business world and Republican critics who have been clamoring for a balanced budget at the earliest pos- sible date are watching for indications of the President’s revised plans in this connection. A year ago he forecast a balanced budget by June 30, 1936. TWO DEAF MUTES WED Pair Married on- Stroke of 12 Ushering in 1935.

Survey parties returning from out- lying districts, brought new evidence to strengthen the belief of seismolo- gists that the quake had its epicenter not more than 12 miles south of the international border. It began at 10:46:40 a.m., Pacific standard time, and lasted 2’ minutes. Observers said that irrigation canal banks had dropped as much as 2 feet, in some instances, and told of roads so badly broken and scarred that it was difficult to maneuver an automobile over them. Deep cracks in the earth were de- scribed in the vicinity of a volcanic lake below the border. The district telephone system was reported to be out of order as a result of equpment damaged by the quake. No estimates of the destructon were advanced. This was the second South- ern California quake in two days. Other property damage in cities in the Southern California area appar- ently was negligible. The quake was described by seis- mologists as being at least twice the intensity of the one in March, 1933, at Long Beach, Calif, in which 120 persons were killed and $75,000,000 property damage caused.
