TOKIO, July 11.—Twenty-four per- sons were killed and 58 injured today by a severe earthquake in the rich Shizuoka district of Japan, from which America annually buys millions of dol- lars of tea and oranges. A police survey showed that the cas- ualties and the more serious damage were confined to Shizouka City, 100 miles southwest of here, with a popu- lation of 136,000, and Shimizu, with a population of*56,000. A total of 47 buildings were reported destroyed with many score more seri= ously damaged. Fires broke out, but were subdued before they spread seriously. Electric power plants were put out of commisison and the cities were in darkness at 8 p.m., but authorities said they hoped to restore the service dur- ing the night. | Shizuoka, capital of the prefec(urel of the same name and of the Province of Suruga, is a clean and airy city, noted for its manufacture of cheap Jacquer ware, delicate basket work and fine bamboo plaiting.

TOKIO, July 11.—The Japanese Navy is preparing to demand in the | next budget an appropriation of 712,- 000,000 yen (about $178,480,000), which is 35 per cent above the cur- rent year's 530,000,000 yen, the larg- est in the nation’s history. This figure was set by the navy's Budget Commission today on the as- sumption that, when the next fiscal year begins, April 1, 1936, it will ex- tend into a new era in which w sea powers will have abandoned lim- itation of navies with consequent prospects of a naval race.

VOLIVA WINS FIGHT FOR ZION POSITION Plan of Reorganizing Business Under Amended Bankruptey Act Approved. By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, July 11.—Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion City and chief promulgator of the theory that the world is flat, won his fight to | remain technical chief of Zion In- | dustries, Inc., yesterday when Federal | Judge William H. Holly approved a | plan offered by Voliva to reorganize | the business under the amended bank- ruptey law. A group of noteholders sought to oust Voliva from the corporation on the grounds that he had insufficient business ability but the overseer, who testified he built the business from | the ground up with only 83 cents| capital, convinced the court his plan | was sound. Attorney Paul Fischer, representing the dissenting noteholders, said Vo- liva’s position in the reorganized cor- poration would be “deeorative,” in- asmuch as he will be outnumbered on the Board of Trustees and the busi- ness will be run by an assistant man- eger appointed by all the trustees.

MARSHFIELD, Mo., July 11.—Still fumbling with the chords and phrases of his hillbilly lament for the father he slew, Lloyd Robinson, 18, prepared today to spend the rest of his life in prison. “The song ain't ready yet” Lloyd explained late yesterday after Circuit Judge C. H. Skinner had sentenced him to life imprisonment for the mur- der of his father, Robert Robinson, 50. “I haven't got the words yet and I haven't got the tune worked out, either.” Robinson, who implicated his mother, Mrs. Mary Robinson, and Dr. William F. Schlicht, in his confession, strum- med his guitar and mumbled a phrase of the ballad to himself. “I can't work good up here in the 4ail,” he then continued, “and worry- ing about what I was going to get has kinda slowed me down.” Robinson will be taken to the State penitentiary tomorrow. His mother and Dr. Schlicht will be tried in September. Officers said Rob- 1nson was slain for $10,000 insurance. ties of leadership, which he said, roused much admiration in this coun- try. In the opinion of Mr. Roosevelt this portrait will be a symbol of the many ties, as he expressed it, which draw together the people of Great Britain and the United States. The President will have this por- trait hung in the National Gallery in Washington. Purpose of Gift. Ambassador Lindsay, in making the presentation, pointed out that the gift from Artist Salisbury is in recogni- tion of the feelings of affection and respect which King George's personal qualities have inspired in this country. He expressed the hope this gift may further strengthen “one of the many and important bonds of sympathy between the United States and Great Britain.” The informal presentation cere- monies took place in the President’s | The Ambassador was accom- | office. panied by several members of the em- bassy staff, and with the President | were members of his secretarial staff and Richard Southgate, White House ceremonial officer. The remarks of the British Ambassa- dor delivered when he made the pre- sentation of the portrait were: “Mr. President, on behalf of the artist, Mr. Frank Salisbury of the British Royal Academy, and with the consent of the King, I have the honor today of offering to your aceptance on | behalf of the American people, this portrait of His Majesty King George V. As the King’s Ambassador in America, I have often been impressed by the feelings of affection and respect which His Majesty's personal qualities have inspired widely in America and which were so noticeable when he was gravely ill some years ago. They were again illustrated by the interest with which the American public during this Summer has watched the ceremonies of the King's silver jubilee. It is in recognition of these feelings that the artist offers this gift of the King's por- trait to yourself and to the American people; and I, for my part beg you, Sir, to accept it today, in the hope that it may further strengthen one of the many and important bonds of sym- pathy between the United States and Great Britain.” Acceptance by President. The President'’s briet address of acceptance in fwl follcws: “Mr. Ambassador, 1 am havpy to| accept on behalf »f the American people this admirable portrait of his majesty, King George ¥, which 1s pre- sented by the artist, Mr Frank Salis- bury. “I have already expressed fo Mr. Salisbury my appreciation of this gift, but I should be g:ateful, *r.

ASHEVILLE, N. C. (®.—F. V. McCanless, sr., and his son fished all day in the French Broad River and caught—nothing. Then, while they rowed to the bank, a large trout jumped into their boat. | To add to the destitute mother's grief is the knowledge that her young- est child, 7 months old, lies in a hos- | pital, where she tcok it several days | ago, “with fever of 105 degrees.” The baby girl's condition was said to be | unchanged today. It is feared she | has pneumonia. | | Lee Kearns, father of Mary, 14, and | Richard, 10, whom Calhoun tried un- |succassfully to save, tinged his grief | with bitterness. He blamed the lack | | of swimming facilities in the neigh- | borhood of his home at 1901 First | | street southwest for the death of two | of his eight children. | | “I don't think my children would | have been drowned if there were a | pool in the neighborhood,” he said. | Liked to Play With Sprinkler. | “They used to go down the street | and play under a sprinkler in a man’s | yard. I think they went down there | | yesterday, found the sprinkler shut | off, and then decided to disobey my | | repeated warnings and wade in the | river.” | Frances Kerns, 14, verified her father’s statement. | “I was with Mary and Dicky,” she | said. “We went down to the sprinkler, | | but it was shut off. Then we said we | | would go to the river and wade just | | a little. When we got there I was | | afraid, so I sat on the bank.” | The more audacious brother and | | sister stepped out into the water and | over their depth into a 30-foot chan- | i nel, where they were caught helplessly | | by the stiff current. “I didn't know they were drowning,” | Frances said, “until the colored man (Calhoun) jumped in after them. Then another man (Albert Wingert, 15) came rowing out in & boat and I ran home to tell mother. She was in | the garden picking beans.” Kerns, like Calhoun, had been on relief, but a short time ago he resumed his trade as a lather. He said in- surance money is available to defray costs of funeral expenses of his two ‘luhfldren. ‘Tiie bodies will be at Cham- bers’ funeral chapel until burial at 10 a.m, Saturcay in Cedar Hill Ceme- tery. Officials of the Southwest Washing- ton Citizens’ Association shared Kerns’ view that the drownings might have been prevented if there had been a swimming pool in the Southwest section. —_ TWO D. C.

J, July 11.— Well, anyway, Max Baer got back to- day to his bride's cottage. He arrived from Baltimore early in the morning, paused on the front porch of his bungalow and said all the talk about a rift between them was “mixed up.” He repeated yesterday's numerous denials that he had said his mar- riage to the former Mary Ellen Sulli- van was “on the rocks.” The report of a separation got started, he said, because he was mis- understood when he told of religious differences with his wife. “I simply was explaining why it is that we won't be able to have a Cath- olic ceremony for at least a year,” he said. “I'm tickled pink over what the doctors told me,” the colorful play- boy heavyweight said before leaving Baltimore. “I want to get back In the ring. I still believe I am the best of the heavyweights. I knew my hands were not right when I met Braddock, but there was nothing I could do about it after I got into the ring.” Dr. William F. Rienhoff, jr.,, whose X-ray examinations showed Baer's left hand was inflamed, told him he should not have fought Braddock with his hands in that condition. “I want to meet Braddock again,” | Baer said, “but will fight once or twice before I go after him.

SENATEROW CUTS PARTY LINES Democratic Leaders Chal- lenge Foes to Produce Better Plan. By the Associated Press. A strenuous encounter over another major New Deal policy—the A. A. A— engaged the attention of the Senate today. The fight cut across party lines. Taking up amendments to broaden the Agricultural Adjustment Admin- istration’s powers and bulwark it against court attacks, Democratic leaders challenged critics to propose a better method of increasing farm prices. Opponents called it “complete regimentation of the American peo- ple.” Senator Robinson, the floor leader, led the defense of A. A, A. yesterday with the assertion it had accom- plished the fundamental purpose for which it was designed. Hurls Challenge at Foes. “If any one here—and I don't care what his politics—can find a way of stabilizing prices without controlling production,” he shouted, “he will do & favor to this country and to the world if he will bring forward his plan now.” Congress “dare not,” he added, abandon or change the farm program. Quickly jumping into the attack, Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, as- serted the bill containing the amend- ments was full of “subtle, misleading, non-understandable language” and was “a scheme for nullifying the rights of individuals.” Senators Borah, Republican, of Idaho, and Byrd, Democrat, of Vir- ginia, proposed a dozen or more amendments to strike out major fea- tures of the legislation. Senator Van- denberg, Republican, of Michigan, at- tacked the Senate Agriculture Com- mittee’s action in eliminating a House provision which would have increased tariffs to offset increases in costs of production, The bill is designed to revise the agricultural adjustment act in line with the Supreme Court’s N. R. A. de- cision. Among other things, it would provide for an “order” system to set up marketing agreements among pro- cessors and producers and specify a list of commodities for which agree- ments could be arranged. At the suggestion of Senator Borah wool and mohair have been eliminated from the list of commodities subject to marketing agreements. - Rice Sown by Plane.

DECREASE IN COTTON EXPORTS INDICATED 2,500-Bale Drop Seen as End of Present Crop Year Draws Near. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, July 11.—As the 1934-35 cotton year draws to a close the main problem confronting the trade is the indicated 2,500,000-bale drop in exports of American cotton, leading New Orleans traders said yes- terday. Three weeks from yesterday the present crop year ends, with every | indication that total exports for the past 12 months will fall far below | 5,000,000 bales. Only twice in the past 30 years have exports of domestic cotton dropped below this figure, it was pointed out, once during the depres- | slon year of 1921 and back in 1917, when submarine warfare restricted ocean commerce, | With total exports thus far this year 4665579 bales, the trade does not look for more than 4,900,000 bales to be sent abroad this season. This compares with 7,534,415 bales in the season which ended July 31, 1934, Many leaders of the cotton trade have blamed the loss of foreign mar- kets to the present Government cot- ton program, which, they charge, has kept the price of American cotton at an artificial price which foreign con- sumers refuse to pay. 711 Twelfth Street This After-Inventory Sale Includes —the broken lots—ones and twos of a kind—patterns and models we don’t want to replenish.
