GRAVELLY POINT - PLANIS ACCEPTED Planners Also Approve Sports Center and Sta- dium Project. Voting to adhere to its oft-repeated Btand in favor of the development of Gravelly Point as an airport for the city, the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, concluding a three-day session, yesterday in- structed its staff to support the Gibson bill, designed to accomplish this. ‘This was one of the major actions taken during a crowded program, which embraced approval of prelim- inary plans to develop a sports center and stadium at the Anacostia River at the end of East Capitol street, so that relief work might be engaged immediately upon grading: opposing & plan to name new highways in the Mall after States; indorsement of its chairman’s action in assisting in selecting Louis R.

He sug- gested that inasmuch as the airport will be the greatest beneficiary, it should bear the major cost. Frowning upon a suggestion to name two of the Mall drives Maine and Missouri avenues, the commission voted this procedure would be out of harmony with development of Wash- ington and break up the continuity of the plan. the District, ing upon it, it said, has houses front- and to make an excep- tion in the case of Maine and Mis- souri would be unfair. It took this action after Senator Hale and Repre- sentative Brewster, Republicans, of Maine, had appeared before it to urge that the south vista drive in the Mall be named for the Pine Tree State. They suggested that inasmuch as Maine and Missiouri came into the Union together, that these should be preserved as twins in the Mall. avenues were wiped out in the Mall development. The commission will urge the District Commissioners to name some other thoroughfares of the city Maine and Missiouri avenues. Recreation Report.

Such a god adequately represents the Japanese foreign policy. While the foreign office declares incessantly that adventures, the war office proceeds with conquest after conquest. U Strategic, dynastic and ecopomic | motives drive her onwards to the creation of a new East Asia of which she hopes to be unchallenged mis- tress. e This has been on the cards for a good many years. It is for the pur- pose of avoiding the establishment of such an empire that the nine-power pact was made in 1922 in Washing- ton.

His main job is to check up China's suppressions of the anti-Japanese boycott and other anti- Japanese activities. His duties are waves the big stick over the heads of the confused Chinese officials. * Xk k x Japan intends to show to the Chinese that it is big hearted. The Chinese have been trying since the end of the World War to get rid of the foreigner’s extraterritorial rights without success. The Japanese government intends to abolish the extraterritorial rights of its citizens within the next few months. * ok ok X The truth is that the Japanese need no exraterritoriality. With the entire coastline and river system within reath of her gunboats and airplanes, she can afford to relinquish this “right” with much less fear of loss than the other powers. Her policy cannot fail; with one hand she strikes China and with the other she pats her on the back. This mixture is bound to give good results, especially that it cannot be copied by the other powers. e xn Among the “dont's” of diplomatic etiquette there is one which must be followed without hesitation: Don't serve salad to a Japanese official on plates. which have the picture of the Japanese Emperor or Empress painted on it. The imperial family is sacred to the Japanese; the Empress shows herself unveiled to her subjects only once a year, and that is a red letter day in the life of every loyal Jap- anese. Some time ago a high American official, not conversant with the Jap- anese customs, made the terrible faux pas of serving salad on a plate which had the head of the Empress of Japan pajinted on it. The hastess was particularly proud of having pur- chased in Europe a dozen plates, each having the painting of a different sovereign on it. To show her high > THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

PAUL LINE ASKS REORGANIZATION Cannot Pay $481,000,000/ Debt, It Says, Following ‘ Other Roads. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. June 29—The Chi- | Paul and Pa- cific Railroad today joined four oth- er systems seeking relief here from burdensome debt charges by filing a petition for reorganization under the bankruptcy act. | Its plea to the Federal Court lxsted' obligations of $481,521,686. Its action, looking toward its second financial | overhauling in seven years, followed | that of the Chicago & Northwestern, | which instituted similar steps here | yesterday. The Great Western, Chicago | & Eastern Illinois, and Rock Island roads previously filed under section 7| of the national act in this jurisdiction. The present financial set-up of the Milwaukee system, which operates over 11,500 miles of track from Chicago to the Pacific Ccast, dates to its re- | organization in 1928. | In 1925, the predecessor corporation —the Chicago & Milwaukee Railroad Co.—went into receivership here with | obligations of $465,045.000. It asserted that along with competition from the Panama Canal ambitious plans of its| owners. who had included the elder J. P. Morgan and P. D. Armour, to extend its lines from Mobridge, S. Dak. to the Pacific Coast cities of Tacoma and Seattle had saddled it with debt it could not pay. A Reorganization Committee, headed by Eastern banking groups. bought in the Milwaukee at the country's first major railroad auction sale and formed | the present company in 1928. Its directors at a meeting in New York Thursday indicated that re- organization was again necessary be- cause of dwindling revenues as a result of the drought and depression. Local authorities said approximately 75 railroad concerns were now in re- ceivership or in the process of reorgan- ization over the country. HEIR TO $84,305 SELECTED FROM 16 New Yorker Recommended for Estate Left by “Penniless” Home Boarder. By the Assoclated Press. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 29.— County Judge J. Ollie Edmunds said today May Furst of New York has been determined by the Probate Court’s guardian ad litem to be the sole heir of the estate of Michael Joseph Carroll, who died at a Salva- tion Army hotel here leaving $84,- 305.44. There were 15 other claimants. | Judge Edmunds has taken the guardian's report under advisement and expects to reach a decision in the case within two weeks. Carroll died at the hotel last No- vember at the age of 91. He had lived at the hotel for eight years, coming here from New York. His funds were deposited in five banks and the remainder invested in Gov- ernment bonds. He left no will. Carroll made his small fortune in the restaurant business in New York. regard for the Japanese military attache she put his lettuce and tomato salad on that which rcpresented his Empress.

Michigan State police and officers from Detroit bundled the four into automobiles and rushed them across the State line to a State police bar- racks at Jonesville, Mich., as soon as it was learned that they would offer no objection to extradition. Police Commissioner Henrich Pick- ert of Detroit and Detective Chief Fred W. Frahm hastened to Fort Wayne, but arrived half an hour after the police escort had departed for Jonesville with the four prisoners. Four Are Questioned. The officials overtook the party at Jonesville and, after questioning the suspect and the three women, pro-| ceeded to Detroit. “If any talking is donme, I'll do it,” Ferris told Pickert as he was led from the police barracks. “You can ask me all the questions in the world and I won't answer them. I won't talk until 1 get ready. “I don't know these girls,” he added, “or this Dickinson or anything about | a murder. I'm Arthur Reanals of Kansas City and I want an attorney.” Ferris walked with easy stride, smoking a cigarette. He was dressed | in a light suit and white shoes. De- tectives found only $25 in his pockets. Frahm said Ferris told him that he had hitch-hiked from Detroit to Kan- sas City last Tuesday, the day before Dickinson was shot to death, and had gone from there to Chicago before he came to Fort Wayne Frahm said Ferris claimed to have traveled by interurban from Chicago to Fort Wayne, but said an investiga- tion showed there was no interurban at the hour he named. Frahm said the girls told officers they hitch-hiked to Fort Wayne sev- eral days ago. They were registered | at the hotel as the “Meyer Sisters” Theatrical Troupe. The arrest of Ferris and the three women may have given Detroit in- vestigators, they said this evening, the missing big pieces in the jigsaw puz- zle of the Dickinson murder case. They have evidence that Ferris drove from his Detroit hotel early Thursday morning shortly before Dickinson's body was found. | Tried to Arrange Party. Ferris had confided to a taxicab | driver Wednesday night that ne was trying to arrange a party, with two women, for the “big shot lawyer” whom he also described as “a guy with plenty of money.” He can tell the police, they said today, whether such a party was organized. So, they said, can Flossie Jackson, intimate friend of Ferris, and her sister, Florence. The police said they believed that, | having found the car. the man andf the women, vhey can learn what the lawyer. here in connection with a $40,000 estates case, was doing the night before the murder. .

Fyfe of Madison, Ill, veterans of three bonus armies, said last night. Mrs. Fyfe proudly displayed her little daughter's new shoes as she stood on a dusty vacant lot along- side the other members of the bonus army in a meeting near the Transient Bureau. “Sure Huey Long bought 'em.” she sald. “And he bought a pair, too, for junior, who is 11 years old. We couldn’t get shoes from the Transient Bureau. Our Congressman turned us down, too. But when we went to Huey Long he bought shoes for both the children. Huey’s all right!” Mr. and Mrs. Fyfe, junior and 7- year-old Betty Lou are veterans of the famous ousted bonus army. They recalled last night how they had been ousted from their tent headquarters erected over an old dog pound and lost everything they had. Fyfe is a coal miner but unable to find work, he said. They are living in quarters rented for them by the Transient Bureau at 311 G street northwest.

The House District Committee, it was learned last night, will begin reconsideration of the crime report Wednesday, at which time a move will be made to eliminate a recoramenda- tion for the immediate removai of United States Attorney Leslie C. Gar- nett. The Garnett recommendation is the only remaining major point of dif- ference between committee members who last week voted, 10 to 8, to re- consider the report. Several of the most vigorous opponents of the Gar- nett recommendation, it is understood. are willing to accept the various oth# proposals of the Crime Committee as a compromise if the eight members opposed to the United States attor- ney will withdraw their objection to his continuance in office. One of the chief recommendations of the Crime Committee already has been cut out of the report—that which called for retirement of the Police Department “high command,” as well as all officers above the rank of captain who have reached 60 years of age. The report in its present form now recommends retirement of all officers above the rank of captain who have reached 65 years of age. The change saved Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown and Inspectors Thaddeus R. Bean and Albert J. Headley, all of whom have passed 60. i Headley Advances. Bean, incidentally, goes on the re- tired list tomorrow, and Headley ad- vances into his position as assistant | superintendent in accordance with the so-called “gentlemen’s agreement” be- | tween Representative Blanton, Demo- crat, of Texas and Maj. Brown—an | agreement that the Commissioners un- | expectedly recognized and approved Friday. Headley, however, as a result of another “gentlemen’s agreement” be- | tween the Commissioners and Blanton, will retire August 31 and his posmnn‘ |of assistant superintendent may be | | abolished. The promotion was made‘ primarily to raise Headley's retirement | pay $250 a year. Representative Randolph, Democrat, | of West Virginia, who served as chairman of the Crime Investigating | | Committee, is expected to make a | determined fight against any other changes in the report. Whether he can muster enough support to defeat the contemplated move to eliminate the recommendation for Garnett's ouster is problematical. The 10-to-8 vote for reconsideration indicated Randolph's strength. He "had two proxy votes, those of Repre- | sentatives Brewster of Maine and Dirksen of Illinois. both Republicans, but they were over-ruled on a point of order. Committee Personnel. There are 21 members of the com- mittee. Aside from Dirksen and Brewster, the only absentee when the motion to reconsider the report was adopted was Representative F‘en-i erty, Republican, of Pennsylvania. who | |1s not expected to be present at the meeting Wednesday. Assuming that all other members |attend and adhere to their original vote, the result would be a tie—10 That is what Randolph is counting on to defeat the proposed | move to eliminate the Garnett recom- mendation. A tie vote, he points out, would automatically sustain the orig- | inal action of the committee in ap- | proving the crime report. | PARK OFFICER RETIRED AFTER 25 YEARS’ DUTY Paul H.

The council, created some 18 months ago to advise the adminis- tration on the business viewpoint, now has 44 members compared with a total of 50 a few months ago.

Congress yesterday reached the end of one fiscal year with a record of having voted to spend $8,200,699,773, most of it in the 12 montha ending June 30, 7936. At that the legislators had pruned $131,437,557 off the amounts originally requested by President Roosevelt and the Budget Bureau, When the last gavel raps of the financial year sounded in congres- sional halls, 10 appropriation bilis were on the statute books.

By far the largest already enacted, of course, was the $4,880,000,000 for work relief, which the executive branch is having trouble spending. Next biggest was the measure mak- ing $903,635,678 available for the ‘Treasury and Post Office Departments. Around a third of that will be used to pay interest on the all-time record public debt of nearly $29,000,000,000. The administration’s effort to bolster national defense accounted for an- other $860,682,549. To the War De- partment went $401,998,170; to the Navy $458,684,379. Other bills already enacted includ- ed: State, Justice, Commerce and La- bor Departments, $98,561.895; District | of Columbia, $40,547,115; Interior, | $61,220,928; Agriculture, $125,157,983; | first deficiency, covering a score of agencies and activities, $112,633,830.
