A—12 GOETHALS SHRINE MEASURE SIGNED' President Approves Bill for $75,000 Memorial to Canal Builder. In recognition of one of the great engineering feats of all time, Presi- dent Roosevelt yesterday signed a bill authorizing the erection of a suit- able memorial in the Canal Zone to Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals, “puilder” of the Panama Canal. ‘The act authorizes the expenditure of $75,000 for the memorial to the great Army engineer, the site to be selected by such persons as the President may select. John Callan O'Laughlin, chairman of the Goethals Memorial Committee, comprised of many prominent persons who participated in the building of the Canal, declared it was fitting the United States should give recognition to the outstanding services of Gen. Goethals. ‘' Gorgas Paid Honor. “We have already commemorated the important part played by sani- tation in the construction of the Canal,” he said, “in the passage by Congress of resolutions establishing the Gorgas Memorial Institute at Panama and the renaming of the An- con Hospital for Maj. Gen. Willian: C. Gorgas. “France has erected at Colon & statue of De Lesseps, who first at- tempted construction of a canal at the Isthmus. The enactment of this bill makes it possible for us to pay tribute to the man who had the principal part in the direction of the entire operation, who took over the task on which others had failed and in seven years carried the gigantic task through to completion. Honored by Presidents. Four Presidents of the United States have honored Gen. Goethals— ‘Theodore Roosevelt, under whom the Panama Canal was started; Willlam Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, in whose administration the Canal was completed and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who took a personal interest in the proposal to erect the memorial. Senator Sheppard of Texas and Representative Schuyler O. Bland of | Virginia were praised by the Goethals Memorial Committee for their active interest in pressing the measure in the Senate and House, respectively.

RADIO TESTS PUSHED Commission Urges- Action by Temporary License Holders. The Communications Commission | yesterday urged the holders of tem- porary licenses for high frequency experiments to hasten their tests in order to determine the worth of such Irequencies for commercial use. The request grew out of applica- | tions from many of the 981 high| frequency stations for permanent al- location of wave lengths within the 30,000 to 100,000 kilocycle band. The commission said is had not been convinced yet that available material was sufficient to warrant the allo- cation of these frequencies to com- mercial services.

By the Assoctated Press. CINCINNATI, August 24—United | States Senator Lester J. Dickinson of | Towa predicted tonight that President Roosevelt would be the principal issue of the 1936 presidential campaign. Mentioned as a potential Repub- lican candidate, Senator Dickinson told the Hamilton County Republican Club at a dinner-rally that never in the history of the United States has there been a betrayal of solemnly pledged principles or the subordinating of a great party as has taken place so-called “New Deal.” His prepared address called Presi- | dent Roosevelt the central isssue. It criticized the Chief Executive for “a perfectly amazing capacity to say one | thing and do the exact opposite.” It charged the administration with fail- ure to keep pledges to reduce govern- | mental expenditures, balance the bud- get and remove government from the field of private industry. Recalling a Roosevelt pledge for “a | sound currency to be preserved at nu| hazards,” the Senator said “we have the hazards all right, but where is the sound currency?” Refering to the President’s criticism | of the Supreme Court, he said “per- haps it is only natural that constitu- tional safeguards should irritate am- bitious men who always reach out, | under guise of ‘emergency,’ to gather into their hands more and more au- thority. Pressing national problems can be solved, so they maintain, only if & completely free hand is given them.” Better Than No Bread at All,| Says Pension Group’s Head. Dr. J. E. Pope, head of the Na- tional Old Age Pension Association, yesterday called the social security program a crumb, but said it was bet- ter than no bread at all. “We are for Franklin D. Roosevelt,” he said in a statement. “The social security law does not embody every- thing we want; it is far short of what we demand, and of what we must have. Yet * * * we are forced to acknowledge Mr. Roosevelt as the only President who ever gave us any- thing in the way of old age security. “He has not given us enough, but the crumb is better than no bread at all.” Sail for Quebec. SOUTHAMPTON, England, August 24 (P).—Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vander- bilt and her sister, Thelma Lady Fur- ness, sailed for Quebec today on the liner Empress of Britain.
