A—2 % AID T0 STEAMSHPP LNESISSTUDED Roosevelt Goes Over Ship Subsidy Program on Way to Cambridge. By the Associated Press. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT RQOSEVELT TO CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 23.—A new ship sub- sidy program to supplant the present Government policy of ocean mail con- tracts engaged the attention of Presi- dent Roosevelt today as he traveled toward New England for a visit to his alma mater, Harvard University. Favoring direct grants to Amgrican steamship lines rather than aiding them by indirect subsidy through mail contracts, the President studied a re- port of a committee of experts who made an investigation of the whole subject. There were {indications that he would put the finishing touches on a message covering his recommenda- tions which may be sent to the Capital for transmission to Congress hefore he, himself, returns to Washington. Although his trip is being made primarily to watch his son, Franklin, jr.. initiated tonight to the exclusive Harvard Fly Club, the President will extend his week end from Washing- ton to pay a short visit to his home in Hyde Park. N. Y. He will go there from Cambridge tomorrow. Expected to Return Thursday. Expectations were that Mr. Roose- velt would return to the White House not later than Thursday, when the last of the season's formal receptions will be held there.

By the Associated Press. TOKIO, February 23.—Army offi- cers, after an investigation today, cleared the American tanker Eliza- beth Kellogg of suspicion of espionage, the newspaper Asahi said, in a dis- patch from its Yokosuka corres- pondent. Officers from headquarters of the fortress commanding Tokio Bay gave the Americans a clean bill, after the inquiry. The vessel, under charter to a Japanese firm, will be free to proceed to Osaka as soon as she is refloated. A second attempt to re- float the tanker at high tide failed today. I | Officials Suspicious. Suspicions of army and naval offi- clals were aroused when the ship be- came grounded yesterday in the mili- tary zone at the entrance to Tokio Bay on a spot which commanded a splendid view of the defenses. The newspaper Kokumin said a naval officer boarded the Elizabeth Kellogg Friday morning and ques- tioned Capt. M. I Anderson and several of the crew, but failed to ob- tain an intelligible explanation of the grounding. After the officer returned to Yokosuka the navy base wirelessed the Elizabeth Kellogg to anchor after it was refloated. Naval officers denied they had in- tended to investigate the ship’s crew, although officers Friday told Jap- anese reporters the probe had been ordered. After tugs failed to release the D.

WILEY POST EAGER } | HOOVER'S MOTIVES STILL I DOUBT Return to Arena of Public Discussion Received With Mixed Feeling. BY D'AVID LAWRENCE. Herbert Hoover's apparent return to the arena of public discussion has been received here by the political folk with mixed feelings. ‘The Democrats are rather glad— they say satirically that he helps to crystallize their own strength at a time when they were beginning to fall out among themselves. The Re- publicans say privately that the wis- dom of Mr. Hoover's move depends entirely on whether he is seeking the Republican nomination in 1936 or whether the public will think he is. ‘The truth of the matter probably is that Herbert Hoover has been keep- ing silent for nearly two years largely because to speak would have been to arouse precisely such doubts as have now been expressed. But it was a choice between speak- ing for about 13,000.000 or more who voted for him in 1932 and voted for his party again in 1934 and being misunderstood, or keeping quiet and doing nothing in what Mr. Hoover regards as a challenge to liberty and a fundamental struggle for the pres- ervation of the American form of Government. Hoover to Make Comments. Mr. Hoover has already decided, no doubt. that he will, as the country’s only living ex-President, be able to exert an influence which few other private citizens in the Republican party can exert, and also that when the time comes he will reveal his lack j0f ambition to become a candidate tanker, the navy sent a destroyer to the sscene, the reports added.

From now on the word here is that Mr. Hoover will make comment on public questions and endeavor to dis- cuss them dispassionately but with the same zeal for his doctrines which he expressed when he fought vainly in the last few weeks of the 1933 campaign. What will be the political value of his contributions? Certainly at the moment the so-called right wing is no better organized than the left. The Republican party is floundering and has a sort of insurgency in its own ranks, as the groups who think liberalism should prevail look askance at the older ‘members of their party. Strange as it may sound, Mr. Hoover | never considered himself a conserva- | tive and was far from popular in Wall Street. As a matter of fact, it was President Hoover who encouraged the starting of the famous Stock Exchange and banking investigation in the Senate which did more to arouse popular prejudice against the con- servative forces than anything the Roosevelt administration itself has done. > Hoover Methods Used. Mr. Hoover wculd probably classify himself as somewhere between the New Dealers who believe in State in- tervention. irrespective of the Con- stitution, and the conservatives who want to stick to the Constitution and the old order irrespective of whether the sccial order can stand the strain.

For & year he recuperated at Walter Reed, then spent two years with other maimed soldiers, learning silver and goldsmith work under Miss Alberta Montgomery, am Army reconstrue- tional aide. Grimm, or Ralph Oriaon Grimm, as the Army records carried him, became a close friend of another student jew- eler, Hans Sorensen, who had losi a leg on the same day in the saice as- sault, and now has his own shop at 1110 F street. The two were determined to lead successful lives. Grimm, who lived at 1316 Floral street, set up his shop in the basement there. A married man, he supplemented the family budget with the sale of silver crosses and trinkets. He took these to Washington Ca- thedral, and visitors there bought them as worthy mementoes of their visit to the great Gothic edifice. Work absorbed Grimm, and he also became deeply interested in the problems of handicapped veterans. For years he was a familiar figure at meetings of veterans and of various patriotic groups. Planned River Trips. Grimm even bought a motor boat and operated it himsell during the Spring and the Summer. He managed to get about quite a hit. although his legs had been amputated at the thighs and artificial limbs proved almost use- less. Only recently he and Sorensen planned river trips this Spring in a new motor boat which Grimm was going to make with his own hands. But last night Grimm was beset with the old memories. Not even his little silver crucifixes could win him from the mood. Friends said he Civil War Veteran Sailed on Seven Seas Without Mishap. Rumsey—he fought through the Civil War, fought bandits in China's hinterlands, watched a fire lay waste to most of Chicago and salled the Seven Seas on steamer and wind- jammer—had only a few scars to show for his adventures. He died yesterday at the age of 90. A fall in his own house was the cause of death. Deduction for Depreciation. The revenue act provides for “a reasonable allowance for the exhaus- tion, wear and tear of property used in the trade or business, including a reasonable allowance for obso- lescence.* For convenience, such al- lowance usually is referred to as de- preciation. In claiming a deduction for de- preciation several fundamental princi- ples must be observed. The deduction must be confined to property actually used in trade, business, profession, and to improvements on real property, other than property used by the tax- payer as his personal residence. In general, it applies to the taxpayer's machinery, capital assef 3 h cannot be etc.—the cost of whic! deducted as a business expense. fought against the notion, but from |used time to time it would overwhelm him— a notion that his sacrifice was futile after all, that he and many another could have been .spared the price they paid, with the armistice already in sight.
