HELIUM T0 SOLVE | BALLOON TROUBLE Stratosphere Flight to Use Gas for First Time—Bag to Be Larger. Helium gas will be used for the first time in a stratosphere flight next June when the largest balloon ever built, a 3,700,000-cubic-foot glant, will be sent up by the National Geographic Society and the Army Air Corps from the “stratosphere bowl” | near Rapid City, S. Dak., to resume firsthand study of the stratosphere at | the point where it was -bandonedi when the hydrogen-filled balloon Ex-; plorer burst last Summer. ‘The new balloon will be approxi- mately 700,000 cubic-feet larger than the Explorer and is expected to be free from the troubles which ended the career of the 1934 balloon. Due/! to the use of helium, it will not be| necessary to keep the bag partially | folded during the early part of the! ascent to prevent creation of a dan- gerously explosive mixture of hydro-| gen and air. Sticking of the folds is held to have been responsible for| the rupture of the Explorer. | The bag of the new balloon, now under construction in the plant of the Goodyear Zeppelin Co., Akron, | Ohio, will have a top of 33 per cent stronger fabric and a bottom of 50, per cent stronger fabric than that used in last year’s balloon. It is because of the increased weight of the fabric and the smaller lifting power of helium that the size of the bag is being increased. The theoreti- cal limit of ascent of the new balloon will be about 75,000 feet, or between ; 14 and 15 miles above sea level. Capt. Albert W. Stevens, Air Corps, 1s to be in command of the flight and | in charge of the scientific work. Capt. Orvil A. Anderson will be pilot and Capt. Randolph P. Williams in charge of the ground work. A Scientific Advisory Committee for the flight, in co-operation with the| flight personnel, is checking on the design of the balloon and preparing plans for instruments to be carried | and scientific projects to be carried | out during the flight. Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, director of the Bureau of | Standards, is chairman of the com- mittee. — W. H. EUSTACE DEAD Bervices Are Held for Retired Farmer of Warrenton. Special Dispatch to The Star.

UROPEAN statesmen slept peacefully last night; the Saar plebiscite left no doubt that the Saarlanders want to rejoin Germany—Hitler or no Hitler. Their verdict favoring a return to the Fatherland was so overwhelming that ! the League of Nations must agree to the retrocession of the rich Saar dis- trict to the Reich. Like all these post-war plebiscites, the Saar vote is bound to cause some heartburns. The French nationalists see in it an increase in Germany's strength—hence an additional poten- tial menace to France. Some of the economic competitors of Germany who have been taking advantage of the German economic mess, as a result of Hitler's political mistakes, foresee an increased competition from the Reich within the next few years. Finally, | some of the Saarlanders and German emigrees who have been playing “win or lose” by staking everything on the maintenance of the status quo will have to get out of the Saar before Hitler's legions occupy the country. Their number exceeds 20,000, and they all will have to find shelter in some foreign countries. The French are nat letting their former helpers down and are offering them a place of abode in certain districts of France. Delicate Question Ended. But, on the whole, the statesmen of the world are delighted that the Saar problem is over without more M. | trouble than a few cracked heads and bleeding noses. Even the most pessi- mistic forecasters of a war in the near future have to admit that the Saar plebiscite has disposed of one of the most delicate questions which has hreatened the peace of Europe, and by implication, the world peace. It is up to Hitler, say the French and the British, to prove that he does not want to disturb the peace of Eu- rope and join the League of Nations again, now that he has obtained the Saar. It is up to the other nations of Europe to show their desire for peace, GE | says Hitler, by treating Germany as an equal and do away with the limita- tions imposed on her by the treaty of Versailles. Between these two viewpoints, dip- lomats hope, a2 happy medium can be found which will enable Germany to return to Geneva, on terms satisfac- Diplomats are supposed to be quick- witted, by definition—and sometimes they are. The story is told of a young secre- tary, who, being invited to a dinner, arrived about 45 minutes late. He rang the door bell, and the butler opened the door. He could see from the hall that everybody was already at dinner. Somewhat embarrassed, he decided to enter the dining room in a spectacular and amusing man- ner. He saw in the corner of the hall a broom, took it and rushed into PROPOSALS. CAPITAL OF PUERTO RICO ADVERTISEMENT OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jan. 9, 1938.

He did not stop his riding trip, but continued to run around the room, shouting: “I am off, | Iam off,” and disappeared through the door. Nicaraguan Disappointed Dr. Espinosa, the Vice President of Nicaragua, has just left the Far East | after an extensive visit to China and | Japan. The object of his visit was to | explore the ground and see whelhcri | there was any profitable business for | | his country if it recognized Manchou- | kuo. The government of El Salvador, | which has recognized that country, | a few months ago was apparently bragging about the splendid results of this recognition. Dr. Espinosa admitted his disap- pointment. There is nothing, he said, that Nicaragua can buy from Man- choukuo or China, and there is mighty little it can sell to these two countries; the coffee market is already over- saturated since Manchoukuo bought 1,600 bags from El Salvador. Accord- | ing to local officials it would lnke some 10 vears before this quantity is consumed. The Chinese offered the Nica- raguan Vice President a real Chinese bargain. “We will take,” they said, “as many bags of coffee as Chinese immigrants you admit into your cointry.” An actual treaty on that basis is difficult, however, because the Chi- nese government is handicapped by the clause of the most favored na- tion which precludes China from exer- cising freedom of action in fixing | discriminatory duties. * ok ok ok Nations are as sensible as indi- viduals, and when they think that | a name does not sound so good, they change it, without much ado. The Turks have set the example by changing the name of Constantinople into Istanbul and Angora into Ankra. Now the Persians have followed suit and changed the name of their state from Persia, as it was known for so many years to the outside world, to | Iran, an old Persian word, meaning the | “land of the nobles.” | GOLD EMERGENCY ACTION WEIGHED; INFLATIONISTS MEET (Continued Prom First Page.) session and can quickly legislate to meet any situation arising.” Commenting on the disturbance in | world markets yesterday, the Com- mittee for the Nation issued a state- ment saying “we do not believe Con- gress will permit the people to be driven into renewed deflation and general bankruptcy by a forced return to the old-gold-content dollar and the low prices inevitable under it.” Thomas said the Supreme Court had an example to follow in a de- cision in Great Britain that it was contrary to public policy to require payment in gold. Cites Alternative. “If the court should find,” he said, “that the President had been un- constitutionally granted power by Congress to regulate currency, Con- gress would be able to make the regu- lation itself.” Though it is believed the Supreme Court will seek to hasten its decision as much as possible, it was generally conceded it would not be handed down until February 4 at the earliest. Whether Secretary Morgenthau dis- cussed the monetary situation in his luncheon conference with President Roosevelt yesterday was not an- nounced. Meanwhile, Representative Dies, Democrat, of Texas, author of the Dies silver act, prepared a measure, calling jointly for a tax on private “gold clause” obligations and for in- flation, to meet what he called “a serious situation” in event the Su- preme Court renders an adverse opin- ion in the gold case. “From all indications,” Dies said, “the Supreme Court will not sustain :he validity of the gold devaluation aws.” Dies’ bill provides that on July 1, 1935, a tax equal to 40 per cent of the principal and interest on private obligations payable in gold be levied.

He declared he could see no justification:for disturb- ing the present set-up, which has proved satisfactory for 28 years. “When Congress vested the power of appointing the Board of Educa- tion in the_judges, it acted to divorce the schools from politics.” Among the first to protest lglimt a change to make the School Board responsible to the Commissioners were Mary C. Dent, president of the Wash- ington Teachers’ Union; Selma Borchardt, vice president, American Federation of Teachers; B. A. Woods, representing the Citizens’ Forum of Columbia Heights; Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, secretary, Forest Hills Citi- zens’ Association and a spokesman for the Alice Deal Parent-Teacher As- sociation, and Charles H. Wesley, rep- resenting a group of 50 spokesmen for colored bodies. Commissioner Hazen at the outset declared the Commissioners still were “open-minded” on the plan. Outlines Bill in Congress. Prettyman said it was vital that the background of the case be kept in mind in the debate. He said there is pending in Congress a bill to confer on the Commissioners all the powers that Congress could transfer under the Constitution. He said no one knew just how far that would go, if enacted. He reminded the public also that the Senate Committee is study- ing the reorganization of the District government and that one suggestion is for a complete departmentalizing of the government; that is, to make the Board of Education a District depart- other citizens’ boards. He said the basic ideas behind the bill were to-retain the commission form of government, to retain the various citizens’ boards, said to num- ber more than 30, and to leave with these boards all their present routine administrative duties, and to central- | ize executive powers in the Commis- | sioners. He argued that “where the | money goes, there should be the pow- er,” meaning that since the Commis- sioners expend District revenues they |should have at least an emergency lions and tigers, when the acudem‘mur over all agencies using those occurred.

He said it would be a “great shame” if debate on the bill, which covers questions ranging from finance to po- lice powers, should be centered on the | one subject of control over the citi- zens' boards. Roberts said the crit¥eism had arisen ‘unfairly in my opinion” against cer- tain features of the bill by persons who do not want any invasion of politics in the school system. “How can we prevent invasion of politics?” he asked. “Does it exist now?” He then said he wanted to see a Civil Service system established for the schools and the rest of the District government by law, saying the schools now have only an optional merit plan. He said that while the schools spend about one-third of the District appro- priation, the School Board was not | the only agency not under the control of the Commissioners. Miss Dent said she recognized the need for some form of co-ordination of District agencies, but she declared for “the absolute necessity of main- taining the complete autonomy of the Board of Education in educational ad- ministration and the school person- nel” Mrs. Borchardt then took up the argument that there be written into the bill a clause to safeguard the tenure of teachers’ jobs. She took flat issue with Roberts on the question of whether there is a real civil service for teachers now. She explained that the schools have their own merit sys- tem. Answers Roberts. Mrs. Borchardt further countered Roberts' argument with the declara- tion that party politics have not had a part in the selection of the school personnel. She explained that teach- ers from any place in the country may compete with District residents for teachers’ jobs here. Wesley reported on a meeting of colored civic leaders held last night. He cited a long list of organizations which registered their opposition to the plan as applied to the school sys- tem. “We know of no cause or occasion for a change in the present system,” he said. “The bill calls for the pro- hibition of action and even the power of removal of persons from office, out- side the civil service. We believe the exercise of these powers over the Board of Education will lead to greater injustices.” Offutt Favors Plan. George W. Offutt, chairman of the A. B. C. Board, appeared in favor of the proposal to enlarge the powers of the Commissioners. He declared the proposed measure was de{ectwe MWEIS' IIIEFS RUSH PRINTING BYRON $.

COMMISSION VETO| WHEATLEY NAMED HEAD OF D. C. BAR Ralph D. Quinter Elected Vice President—Gertman Again Is Secretary. Increasing strength as the voting continued brought the presidency of the District Bar Association to H. Win- ship Wheatley last night at a meeting of the association, attended by a large number of members. The final count was 392 votes for Wheatley and 280 vNous for former President F. Regis oel. Ralph D. Quinter was chosen first vice president, receiving 403 votes to 258 for William S. Culbertson. Other election choices were Robert F. Cogs- well for second vice president, 326 votes to 320 for Dean Hill Stanley, and the following . directors: Frank F. Nesbit, 348 votes: Milton W. King, 412 votes, and Sefton Darr, 381 votes. George Gertman was re-elected without opposition to his fifteenth term as secretary and Walter M. Bas- tian also was a unanimous choice for treasurer. In addition to electing officers, the association recorded itself in favor of a bill before Congress which would prohibit practice of certain legal ac- tions in the District by those who are not members of the bar. The measure is similar to one sponsored by the American Bar Association and would prohibit the drawing of wills by trust company agents or other persons not qualified lawyers. It failed to pass in the last Congress. Mr. Wheatley, the new president, 1s 52 years old and has been a member | of the District bar about 30 years. He received his law education at Na- tional University and is on the faculty there and at Columbus University. He is a member of the American Bar Association, is head of its local council ; and is a member of the Board of Trade and the law firm of Wheatley & Wheatley. His home is in Hyattsville. only in that it did not go far enough. Former District Attorney Leo A.| Rover made a strenuous objection to the proposal which would give the Comumissioners the right to issue, deny or revoke permits to schools and col- leges. Rover called attention to the naticnal and “almost international scandal” of the former “diploma mill” in the District. He said quacks .nd confidence men, equipped with diplo- mas from Washington’s former fly- by-night schools and colleges, went out into the country to seek victims. Rover insisted that the new method of licensing schools and colleges was | a highly technical matter, which should not be disturbed. Helen Samuel Applauded. A round of applause greeted the appeal of Helen Samuel, chairman of the Legislative Committee, Education ! Association of the District. She de- clared it was time for educators to emerge from their class rooms and fight the efforts of politicians to gain control of school systems. Other speakers included W. O. Tufts, who said he objected to the! school licensing proposal as a private citizen. Rover, who supported Tuft's argu- ment, was asked by Commissioner Allen: “Do you think the Board of Edu- cation should be appointed by the Supreme Court judges?” 1 The former District attorney an- swered in the affirmative. Kinnard Lodges Protest. R. B. Kinnard, representing the | faculty and president of Wilson ' Teachers’ College, protested against | the public school system being made | “the foot ball of politics.” W. W.| Paul of the Central-Northwest Citi- zens’ Association, declared his organ- ization favored full authority vested | in the School Board. A speaker in favor of widening the Commissioners’ power was Isaac Gans, a former member of the Board of Education. Speakers strenuously op- posing his stand included Mrs. George A. Corbin, representing the District Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Mrs. Mary T. Bannerman, chair- man of the Ccmmittee on Legislation National Congress of Parent-Teachers George E. Sullivan, chairman of a special committee of the Federation of Citizens' Association, urged the Commissioners to print copies of the proposed bill and distribute them throughout the District. Sullivan ex- plained that his committee was ap- pointed to study the reorganization proposal and that he felt the public should have a clear understanding of all detalls, —_— WHERE TO DINE. 4-COURSE DINNER $1.00 Fruit 1SUP,or, Soups.

INDUSTRY ON PAY Alternative to Collective Bargain Said to Be Con- trol by Law. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, January 16.—American industry was warned last night by | of the National Emergency Council, that the alternative to voluntary col- | lective bargaining is more political | control of wages and hours. | Addressing*the National Automobile Dealers’ Association, he pointed to the administration’s efforts to obtain “ade- quate organization of all large groups of economic interest,” and added: | “It should be apparent that the or- | ganization of wage earners to advance their group interests is equally neces- sary to preserve economic balance in a competitive system. Cites Vote Threat. i | | “In fact, if workers do not organ- ize as employes, you may be positive that they will organize as voters. “The result will be demands Yor | the regulation terms and conditions | of employment by statute instead of by collective bargaining.” Richberg also addressed himself di- rectly to the automobile industry. urging the necessity for action in eliminating the seasonal fluctuation in production which has caused like fluctuations in employment. ! Demands Action, “Let me be for a moment brutally frank,” he said. “The automotive in- dustry has an obligation to itself ard to the country to regularize produc- | tion, distribution and employment. “A great advance in present ron- | ditions is possible—not merely in 10 years, but in one.
