3 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1935. PRESIDENT LAUDS NEW TRADE PACTS Says Russian and Brazilian Treaties May Raise U. S. Employed. By the Assoclated Press. President Roosevelt strongly in- dorsed the new Russian and Brazilian trade agreements today and expressed belief they would result in increased employment in this country. The agreement with the Soviet Union, under which Russia agrees to buy $30,000,000 worth of goods from this country during the next 12 months, has been attacked sharply in the Senate. Soon after it was con- cluded Senator McCarron, Democrat of Nevada proposed repeal of the law on which the New Deal's reciprocal tariff policy is based. Discussing the lowering "of the American taritf on manganese in the Russian pact, Mr. Roosevelt said at ‘This regular press conference he thought infinitely more people would be puf to work making steel products than if only domestic manganese were con- sumed. Sees Steel Cost Up. ‘Under a high tariff barrier, he be- Tieves the cost of steel products would be increased excessively because of the limited manganese supply in this country. The cost would be as much as 50 times more than ‘the earnings of the few employed in manganese produc- tion, he feels. He said the increased purchasing power of workers who would be em- ployed making steel products with a plentiful supply of manganese would | put 10 times as many to work in this country as might be employed in American manganese fields. Discussing the proposed legislation to restrict tariff agreements in the trade pacts to nations giving this country the most-favored-nation rec- ognition, the President said he thought it would be difficult to draw & strict line like that by legislative action and prefecved to treat each case on its own feet. German Pact Negotiated. 1In spite of Congressional threats to repeal the foreign trade policy law the United States is ready to negoti- ate a reciprocal tariff agreemem with Germany. The announcement was made yes- terday by Acting Secretary of State Phillips as Dr. Hans Luther, German Ambassador, was discussing the mat- ter with Berlin officials. The United States set up the condition that Ger- many must pledge equality of treat- ment to American goods. Phillips said the German govern- ment had made overtures for the negotiation of a trade agreement in a note on May 24, and that the United States had replied on June 28, out- lining terms of the administration's foreign trade program which Germany would be expected to meet. His statement was iuterpreted as new evidence that President Roose- velt would press his reciprocal trade program in the face of congressional attacks. Pending in the Senate is an amend- ment proposed by Senator McCarran, to the farm adjustment bill seeking to repeal the President's authority to negotiate reciprocal tariff treaties. It was prompted by the recently con- cluded trade agreement with Russia, which would extend to the Soviet Union the reduced manganese duty in the Brazilian pact now awaiting approval by the nation’s Parliament. Active negotiation of proposed pacts | with Canada and France also were expected to be started by the admin- | istration within the next two or three weeks. MRS. ROBERT A. TAFT Arrested With .Son in New York Town, She Complains to Court of Policeman’s Surly Tone. By the Associated Press. BATAVIA, N. Y, July 17.— Mrs. Robert A. Taft, daughter-in-law of the late President William Howard ‘Taft; her 19-year-old son and Clar- | ence B. Kayser, a salesman, all of Cincinnati, were fined $2 each in City Court yesterday for speeding. Mrs. Taft, paying $4 for herself and son, complained of the “over- bearing manner” and “surly tone” of the arresting officer, but Judge John B. Greeley ruled no violation had been committed by the motor cycle officer. Kayser said the $2 fine would dent his vacation funds and was released on promise to mail the money as soon as he arrived home. ——— SPECIAL NOTICES.

Il Duce’s repre- sentatives are not stingy with their silver, remembering that in the East many battles have been won with other arguments than cannon and bayonets. * X X *x In the meantime, Selassie, who is preparing himself for battle, has been helped by Jehovah. Some three weeks ago, the pretender to the throne, Lidj Yassu passed away under mysterious circum- stances. Europeans who have just come out of Abyssinia say that Selassie has helped the hand of Jehovah, T Yassu, who by rights should have been the Negus Negussi (King of Kings) of Ethiopia, was imprisoned in 1916 by Selassie, who, under the name of Ras Taffari, was at that time the regent of the country. Empress Zoaditu, the nominal em- press, and Selassie’s wife, Wazeru Manen, prevented the ambitious Selassie from expediting Yassu into the Kingdom of Heaven. e Yassu weas sent to Harrar, which is not Abyssinian country. There, on the top of an extinct volcano, a royal clse was built for him. And since he could not be killed outright he was murdered slowly. He was given dope three times a day. At first it was in small quan- tities in his meals; later the dose was increased until the man became a haif wit. In order to precipitate his decadence the monks who were unt to keep him company chanted m whole night to.the accompaniment of African drums. * X ¥ X Three weeks ago, the news came out that Yassu had died.

CONGERT TONIGHT T0ATTRACT MANY Long Lines Seek Tickets to | Symphony Program, Sec- ond in Series. A crowd even larger than the 10,000 which heard the first National Symphony Orchestra: concert on the water Sunday night is expected to be present for the second in the series at the Arlington Memorial Bridge at 8 o'clock tonight. C. C. Cappel, business manager of the orchestra, said long lines of music lovers have filed by the ticket window at the box office in Garfinckel's de- partment store since Monday. In order to care for the anticipated crowd, the box offices at the concert site will be| opened at 5 pm. today, instead of | 6:30 pm. As a means of speeding up seating. Cappel urges all holders of reserve seats to enter the “bowl” by the lower “They call us pagans and heretics, but this one fight in past years has brought more religion than all theology and all priests together.” Catholic Youths Called Army. Catholic youth organizations also drew fire in the meeting at Opladen, where Ley said: “They are organized like an army. This sounds dark and dangerous for a religious organization.” The commissioner, who is also presi- dent of the States Council, gave assur- ances of religious freedom to indi- vidual citizens and independence to churches, but added: “The necessity of unity of German youth, for whom Hitler's youth organ- ization was established, is in accord- ance with Der Fuehrer's will.” Nazi eugenie experts extended one olive branch to the clergy in an at- tempt to overcome, at least somewhat, their objections to the sterilization law, backbone of the doctrine of racial purity. Sterilization of expectant mothers, considered the greatest obstacle in the way of understanding between the church and state, was amended to call for consent by the woman. Danger Declared Removed. ‘The medical expert of the newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung has claimed that the latest achievement in eugenic surgery makes possible sterilization of expectant mothers without danger. Newspaper editorials asserted that “this solution, it seems to us, can e accepted by all.” The procedure of the eugenic courts was believed to have been facilitated greatly by this action. The Vatican dispatched a note of protest to Berlin yesterday, charging Germany with violation of their concordat. The note objected to application of Nazi sterilization laws to Catholics, interference with the existence of Catholic lay organizations and attacks on the freedom of the Catholic press ® There is no substitute 'if your palate is sensitive. ‘mportedby W.A.Taylor&Co.,N.Ye ——— level, through the underpasses of River Drive.

By the Associated Press. President Roodevelt today allotted $5,263,995 of work-relief fund to the Coast Guard for 51 new patrol boats and reconditioning of a number of shore stations. He also apportioned $453,800 to the Veterans’ Administra- tion for construction at several hos- pitals. The allotments were recommended last week by his Advisory Committee. ‘The largest item in the Coast Guard building program is $582,000 for seven' 80-foot patrol boats, which will re- place ancient 75-footers mow to be withdrawn from service. Four cap- tured rum runners used by the Coast Guard also will be replaced with 65- foot high-speed patrol boats costing $209,000. Others are: Eighteen 38-foot cabin picket boats, $226,000; two 62-foot harbor craft, used as ice-breakers, $126,000; five “crash boats” for aviation duty, $37,- 000; ten 26-foot motor boats to be carried on cutters, $60,000; five 50-foot boats for harbor craft, $263,000. Interest Rate Cut Sought. The allotmnts followed announce- ment of one more proposal for a change in the work-relief machinery. Secretary Ickes suggested reducing the 4 per cent P. W, A. interest rate where private lenders charge “exorbitant” interest. This is an attempt to obtain a substantial amount of State and community P. W. A. projects. Many city officials have expressed prefer- ence for projects carried out by Har- ry L. Hopkins’ Works Progress Ad- ministration, because of easier terms. Effects of the present 4 per cent rate will be studied by a subcommittee. Another development was a recom- mendation by the President's Allot- ment Committee that the Rural Elec- trification Administration receive an additional $50,000,000. It also gave its approval to $34,963379 worth of works progress . projects for nine States, Indiana, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, ©Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. Officials estimated this sum would provide a year's employment for 52.- 000 persons, at an average cost of $700 per job. New Border Stations Asked. Meanwhile, an application for $1,- 664,000 was filed by the Customs Serv- ice for new border stations and living quarters on both the Canadian and Mexican frontiers. ‘The Ickes proposal for a cut in the P. W. A. interest rate was made | at a meeting of the Allotments Com- | mittee, which recommended only | $893470 in such projects out of a list totaling $108,635,809 that it sent to President Roosevelt's desk. | The particular difficulty which | Ickes sought to meet revolved around | difficulties of States and cities in bor- rowing the 55 per cent still required after they receive P.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md,, July 17.—Oppo- sition to the State Roads Commis- sion’s tentative plans to construct e parkway in the center of Wisconsin avenue at Bethesda was voiced by the Board of Montgomery County Com- missioners at its meeting yesterday. Holding that the volume of traffic justifies paving, the commissioners wrote the highway body requesting that it discard its plans to construct a landscaped parkway in the center of the thoroughfare after the Cap- ital Transit Co. abandons its electric railway. The board suggested that the cen- ter lane be paved if funds are avail- able for the work, or that the trac- tion firm’s right-of-way be filled with ballast to permit paving at a later date if the highway commission is financially unable at this time to sur- face the gulley in which the tracks pow lie. Action was taken when it was brought to the board’s attention that highway officials have tentatively de- cided to build a landscaped parkway to fill in the gulley and eliminate the serious traffic menace that it causes. The road group, it was said, con- tends that the flow of traffic over Wis- | consin avenue would not justify the paving work after the traction com- pany substitutes busses for its Wash- ington-Rockville line. Commisisoner Robert D. Hagner de- clared, however, that the volume of traffic in the early morning and late afternoon hours taxes the present roadway and the congestion will be even greater when the railroad sus- pends.
