ARGENTIVE SHP DUE ON TUESDAY Training Vessel Will Land Crew of Officers and Mid- shipmen at Navy Yard. When the Argentine training ship Presidente Sarmiento reaches the Navy Yard Tuesday for a five-day Visit, she will be the first vessel of her kind to come to Washington in recent memory. j Carrying 45 midshipmen, 21 office and 246 enlisted men, the Presidente Sarmiento is a frigate of the clipper type and 2,750 tons displacement. Her commanding officer is Comdr. Alberto *Teisaire, who has been in Washing- ton previously, having come with an Argentine naval mission about 10 years ago. ‘Washington will be the first Amer- ican port she will visit on her cur- rent cruise, which will embrace New York and Europe. The Presidente Sarmiento left Buenos Aires early in April. Recently she has been at Santa Lucia in the French West In- dies from which she is coming to ‘Washington. Entertainment Planned. A round of official entertainment is being prepared for the Argentine officers, midshipmen and enlisted men. Tentative plans for entertainment in- clude an informal dinner and dance to be given by Secretary Swanson at the Army and Navy Country Club, a Juncheon for the commanding officer and officers, a visit to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, sight-seeing trips of Washington and a tour of the Marine Barracks at Quantico, Va. Reaching here on Tuesday, the ves- sel will stay until Sunday, May 26. Whether the public will be allowed aboard is left to the discretion of her commanding officer. Comdr. Teisaire is 43 years old, has been a commander for five years, and in ad- dition to his service in this country with the naval mission, he has been in the United States previously study- ing submarines, which is his spe- cialty. On 35th Practice Cruise. The Argentine training ship is now on her thirty-fifth practice cruise with this year’s graduating class of mid- shipmen. She was built in England in 1896 and since 1900 has made all but two of the midshipmen’s practice cruises of the Argentine Republic. The vessel has been all over the world. | The frigate has been host to a number of notables, including the former Czar of Russia, former Em- peror Wilhelm II of Germany, former King Alfonso XIII of Spain, for- mer President Taft, Prince Henry of Prussia and former President Obre- gon of Mexico. From Washington the vessel will go to New York and thence to Europe, including stops at London, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stock- holm, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Boulogne, France; Vigo and Seville, Spain; the Canary Islands, arriving back in Buenos Aires on December 1. SWANSON REMARKS ON GAMES REVEALED Record Quoted to Clarify Com- ment About Possible Japa- nese Maneuvers. By the Associated Press. Taking steps to clarify Secretary | Bwanson's recent remarks about Jap- anese naval maneuvers in the Pacific, | the Navy Department yesterday made available a partial transcript of the press conference at which these re- | marks occurred. | This showed the Secretary was un- | willing to take any official position in | the matter, although he said the 180th meridian (about 2,000 miles from Jap- anese territory and somewhat far- ther from the American mainland) was regarded as an imaginary “boundary.” The transcript of questions by newspaper men and Swanson’s reply said: Q. Would you have any objection | to Japanese maneuvering on the east side of the 180th meridian? A. We consider that a State De- partment matter and I don’t want to | express an opinion on it ‘That is the boundary that has been respected and | ‘we are respecting it. You can ask the State Department. I have got my | own views about it. I think they could | maneuver anywhere. BOOKLET EXPLAINS TUBERCULOSIS AID Association Is Distributing Pamphlet for Better Control and Prevention. As a follow-up in the campaign for better control and prevention of tu- berculosis in the District, the District of Columbia Tuberculosis Association s distributing free an 8-page booklet, “Modern Weapons to Fight Tuber- culosis,” to school children, parents and others who wish them. The book- lets can be had by writing to the association. Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing di- rector of the association, reported yes- terday that full co-operation in the examinations of senior high school pupils had been given by the medical profession, the District government and the public and parochial schools. ‘The booklet, published by the asso- clation, after ringing a hopeful note that “tuberculosis is curable, but not by medicine, serum or vaccine,” sets down a group of rules to follow in the treatment of the communicable dis- ease. The main points suggested are plenty of “flat rest, in bed,” and the proper food in the proper amounts. ———— WILL EXTEND SERVICE ‘Weather Bureau service is to be extended to 3,960 miles of new com- mercial airways established last year, under the terms of a $40,000 eppro- priation made available by Congress, it was announced yesterday by Willis R. Gregg, chief of the Weather Bureau. ‘The fund will be used to provide observers and meteorological instru- ments at intermediate points along the new air lines, including those from ‘Washington to Cincinnati, New York to Buffalo, New York to Atlantic ‘City, Charleston, S. C., to Atlanta, Ga.; Omaha to Bismarck, N. Dak.; Sioux Falls, S. Dak., to St. Paul, Minn.; El Paso, Tex., to Albupuerque, N. Mex.; Cheyenne, Wyo., to Billings, Mont., from Billings to Spokane, Wash., and Beattle to Spokane. At intermediate stations along these lines the Weather Bureau will make surface observations and at the ter- minals it will make upper air observa- ‘tions. This will increase to 72 the number of stations at which upper air made, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., M.I&Y‘ 19, 1935—PART ONE. BUR '5-Pc.
