MANY LAUD WORK OF JANE ADDAMS Veteran Founder of Peace League Extolled at Birthday Feast. BY GKACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. Jane Addams, 75, witty and philo- sophical, heard the wife of the Presi- dent of the United States, a member of the cabinet, a great industrialist | and a sincere laborite give her indi- vidual tributes last night. The occa- sion was a dinner given by the Wom- an's International Leggue for Peace and Freedom in celebration of the 20th anniversary of its founding and the 75th birthday anniversary of Jane Addams, its founder. _As a tribute to an American woman it was a unique performance. It was the largest dinner ever served in the big ball room of the Willard Hotel. Over a thousand people were served dinner and some 500 more came in afterwards to listen to the speeches. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who opened the program, that was broad cast over a national hook-up, said, “It 1s for being yourself that I thank you tonight and for the inspiration which your character and life have given to many people who have known of you, even if they have not had the oppor- tunity of knowing you personally. Many have done better work in their own small sphere because of your ex- istence.” Miss Addams Denies Praise. Jane Addams was the last speaker. She talked with her customary humor, denying the high praise that had been showered on her and confessing, “I have never been very sure that I was right!” Whereas many pacifists are so violent in their convictions that they and only they are right, Miss Addams never seems to lose her reason over an issue. Talking of the peace ship ex- pedition she said: “We didn't expect to change human nature, but we did hope to modify human behavior. We have to be ready in case these unfortunate ac- cidents (such as war) occur with in- stitutions such as the League of Na- tions and the World Court.” Representative Caroline O'Day * of New York was the toastmistress. Mrs. O'Day was the only woman ever in- dorsed for political office by the league. Because of her stand on peace, the “Flying Squadron,” organized by Miss Mabel Vernon of Wilmington, | Del.. the national campaign director, campaigned for her last Fall Ickes Speaks. Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, followed Mrs. Roosevelt on the program. Mrs. Ickes, the former Miss Anna Wilmarth of Chicago, is a lifelong friend of Miss Addams and | has acted as chairman of observance during this celebration. Mr. Ickes voiced a real tribute: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Peace Leader Honored at Dinner Mrs. Roosevelt last night attended a dinner in honor of Miss Jane Addams, given by the Women's Interna- tional League in commemoration of the founding of the league 20 years ago.

At 12, the national board members joined the founders and had lunch at Mrs. Rublee's. At 1:15, the young people’s delegation as- sembled at the Union Station Plaza and from there they went to the For- eign Relations Committee room in the Capitol and saw Senators Key Pitt- man, Joseph T. Robinson and Carter Glass. LIGHTNING KILLS TRID N KENTUCKY Storm Centering Around Louisville, Scene of Derby, Entails Damage. By the Associated Press.

An estate valued in excess of $136,000 was left by the late Beale R. Howard, vice president of The Evening Star Newspaper Co., it was disclosed yes- terday when a petition for probate of his will was filed in District Supreme Court by his widow, Mrs. Grace Adams Howard, and his son, George Adams Howard. The petition stated all of the estate was in personal property, such as cash, stocks, bonds, notes and Jewelry. After specifying certain bequests to his children and to servants, the will < | directed that the residue of the estate be given to his widow. George Adams Howard, who is automobile editor of The Star, was bequeathed $11,200; a daughter, Edythe Howard Hickey, was given $10,000, and another daughter, Margaret Howard Remey, received $10,000. Kathryn Gwynn, a niece, was given $10,000, and the vestry of St. James’ Protestant Episeopal Church of Baltimore was given $1,000, half of which, the will stated, is to be ap- plied to the rector’s salary. ‘The estate consisted of cash due from the Evening Star Co. and in the Federal-American National Bank, $15,960.48; real estate notes, $40,500; stocks and bonds, $61,870, and jewel- ry, $100.

As it is, no less than $2,000,000,- 000 of the tarpayers’ money is be= ing spent either for mew arma- ‘ments, the maintenance of the mil- itary establishments or for paying off the expenses of the last wars. ‘The Labor party, which intends to | put up a strong fight at the next elec- tions, has already started clamoring | that every budget presented by the | national government is a battleground | between money for war and social services, and at present money for war is the victor. * k ¥ % ‘The political picture of Europe is changing from week to week. At present there is the following set-up to confront the German menace: A western group led by Britain and France with the Locarno treaty as its basis. An eastern group in which France is linked with the Soviets and Czechoslovakia. A central group in which Italy and France will act with the Little Entente to preserve the status quo of Austria. Finally, there is a prospect of @ Balkan group to watch Bulgaria. All these groups claim to accept the jurisdiction of the League of Na- tions, but it is unlikely, if an actual aggression occurs, that there will be time for any of the legal formalities of Geneva. When the first bomb is dropped (nobody talks any longer about the first shot being fired) the soldiers will take control and the diplomats will be shoved into the background. * % * X Germany is trying to fight the steel ring which is being formed around her by strengthening her ties with Japan.

Chamber Head to Present Resolutions “in Friendly Way.” By the Associated Press. The fight talk with which the | Chamber of Commerce of the United States registered a wholesale break with major policies of the New Deal will be presented to President Roose- velt “in a friendly way” by Harper Sibley, new head of the chamber, who was a schoolmate of the Chief Execu- tive. This word was forthcoming today as the banker-farmer-business man prepared for the tasks of laying before the President the severely critical resolufions with which the organized business men concluded their conven- tion yesterday. Sibley, a Rochester, N. Y., man, con- ceded that the differences between the chamber and the New Deal were “pretty crucial,” but denied they sig- nified “antagonism.” An old friend of the President, Sib- ley is regarded as not being in accord with all his policies. “I do not object to the President's motives,” he said. “I simply feel he has moved with too much haste. I hope we can sit across the table. I | see no reason why the chamber should not register its differences of opinion strongly. This does not mean an- tagonism.” Urge Security Study. ‘The resolutions called for further study of social security and questioned the constitutionality of the Federal Government's taking “jurisdiction of | this proposed legislation.” They dis- llgreed. in more or less severe terms, with steps urged by President Roose- velt on banking, N. R. A. and utilities holding companies, and, as antici- | pated, demanded the end of Govern- | ment competition with private busi- ness. e As the convention “ended, some | | business men moved to sound a more | friendly note. The Commerce De- | partment’s Business Advisory and | | Planning Council—which _includes | some prominent members of the cham- ber—called at the White House. After~ ward Chairman H. P. Kendall said: “We separately reported what we are | doing. We are working regardless of | political affiliations to hold up the President in his fight against the de- pression.” Favor N. R. A. Extension. At the White House the council | presented memorials favoring exten- sion of N. R. A. for two years—the time desired by the administration— and approving principles of the social security plan. There were reports, however, that some of the council members were dissatisfied with the fate of past rec- ommendations offered to the admin- istration. The N. R. A. resolution adopted by the chamber conformed to the prin- | ciples outlined by Henry I. Harriman, | the retiring president, a short while ; ago, which were based on a chamber | referendum. It stands for voluntary code adherence—self government— | whereas the administration’s proposed bill would give the President power to impose codes. I Against Bargaining Clause. The chamber also said that the “collective bargaining provisions of the | present law have definitely disproved their worth.” In this latter connec- | tion, a resolution adopted dl%appm\ed of the 30-hour-week bill, the bill to | create a national labor relations board, | and called for collective bargaining that would have due regard for rights of “minorities.” ‘The chamber found itself in sub- | stantial accord with the President on | transportation regulation, but fa- | vored separate measures for rail, bus, truck, water and air transportation. | It also supported aid for aviation and merchant marine. It called for creation of a special agency in the Department of Justice {to war on those guilty of subversive activities against the Government; and urged an adequate national de- fense policy. ' Chosen by Directors. Sibley was chosen by the Board of Directors immediately after adjourn- | ment yesterday afternoon. Vice pres- idents who will serve with him are: David F.
