A—2 » NEEDLESS DEATHS IN STORM CHARGED Legion Opens Probe of Hurricane Toll—Hears Trucks Unused. By the Associated Press. KEY WEST, Fla, October 12.— Hundreds of war veterans who died in the tropical hurricane that ravaged the Florida keys September 2 could and should have been saved, American Legion Investigators were told here today. Speaking with deep feeling, Arthur Brown of New York, timekeeper at Camp 3 on lower Matecumbe, where 90 of 242 encamped veterans died, testified before the Legion Committee: “There was sufficient time to get all veterans out from Camp 3, and the trucks (trucks Brown said stood idle in the camps while the storm raced toward the keys) could have picked up men at Camp 5, seven miles to the north, and prevented great loss of life there.” First Testimony Taken. Brown appeared at today’s initial session of the investigating committee appointed at the recent Legion con- vention in St. Louls to determine whether the 300 and more veterans killed in the Labor day storm died needlessly. Maj. Quimby Melton. editor and pub- lisher of the Griffin, Ga., Daily News, and the chairman of the committee, said as the hearing opened: “We have come into Florida with perfectly open minds. We are not here to whitewash anybody. If there is any blame to be fixed we want to find on whose shoulders it properly rests.” To Investigate in Carolina. Other members of the committee are Dr. W. E. Whitlock, High Springs, Fla.: national vice commander of the Legion, and Catesby Jones, Selma., Ala., national executive committeeman from that State. After hearings in Miami and Talla- hassee on the storm disaster, the board will proceed to North Carolina to investigate conditions in veterans’ camps there. In his testimony Brown said: “The veterans were called together by a siren at 2 pm. (Monday, Sep- tember 2) and told to prepare to evacuate. Most of them got their belongings together in blanket rolls and awaited arrival of the train which we were told was coming. “Again at 4 pm. the siren sounded and the same instructions were given. The mess sergeant prepared food to carry on the train. But it never ar- rived.” The train was wrecked eight miles above Brown's camp. - Brown continued: “We were always led to believe & train would be held in readiness if & storm threatened the keys. There were two spur tracks at camp No. 3 axfd trains could have been placed there without interfering in the slight- est with regular train movements on the main line.” i, Charges Lack of Discipline. + Comdr. Trevor, in his testimony, Had hinted discipline was not all it could have been in the camps. Brown was asked about that. He replied: “There was absolutely no discipline. Later he said: “About 80 per cent of the veterans would have been good soldiers and would have liked to have had discipline. Oihers would have gotten out of the camps. “If the camps had been operated with military discipline this disaster would have been avoided. There never at any time was held an evacuation drill.” _— CANADIANS TO VOTE ON 894 CANDIDATES Three or Four Parties May Dom- inate House as Result of Election Tomorrow. By the Assoctated Press. OTTAWA, Ontario, October 12.— Political authorities’estimated tonight that 6,000,00 votes would be cast in Monday's election for the next gov- ernment of Canada. A variety of parties have placed 894 men and womea in the race for the 295 seats in the House of Commons, but not one of them has advanced what can be accepted by voters as a clear-cut issue to be settled by the vote. Two new parties have iniroduced themseives in the present campaign, aad political forecasters say three and possibly four of the parties have a chance of dominating the House. Out west, where thought is some- what radical, the Social Credit party, pledged to overhaul the financial sys- tem, has sprung up. Doubtful of forming a government, because of its relatively small number of candidates —47—the Social Credit champlons, it is conceded, may be a dominant fac- tor in the House if no other party has an over-all majority. SILVER COMMITTEE CONFERS IN UTAH Senators Consider Effects Prices on Domestic and World Economy. By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, October 12.— The United States Senate Silver Com- mittee held an all-day meeting here today and adjourned with an an- nouncement that “we did not discuss Ppolitics at all; we are after facts.” The chairman, Senator Key Pitt- man, Democrat, of Nevada, said the conference, a preliminary session to assemble and consider data concerning the effect of the rising price of siver on domestic and world economy, was “most harmonious, marked by not & single captious remark.” Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, said the facts thus for disclosed substantiate his previous opinion that the present silver policy is no better than a stopgap. “We have a world of information, but to date I have seen nothing to convince me that silver should not be defi- nitely and completely remonetized ” the Oklahoman said. of ‘Woman Telegrapher, 53, Dies.

Greely, the Man W ho Issued Order, at Hospital Daily. By the Associated Press. The secret of a bizarre military execution almost in the shadow of the North Pole remained locked last night as the 55-year friendship of two men neared a close. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, 91, who commanded the ill-fated Arctic expe- dition which made a “farthest north” record, 1881 to 1885, was in Walter Reed Hospital where physicians say he could not live long. The only other survivor, Brig. Gen. David L. Brainard, 78, but with up- curling military mustache and sol- dierly bearing denying his years, sor- rowfully visits him daily. Brainard has never told Greely the secret of who shot Pvt. C. B. Henry. and Greely, who ordered Henry executed for steal- ing food, has never asked.

A.F.L.FACTIONS STRIPFORBATTLE Industrial Union Issue Pro- vokes Week End Arming for Fray. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., October 12. —A week-erd respite from convention | oratory gave American Federation of | Labor chieftains an opportunity today to line up their forces for next week's big fight on the industrial union issue. Should the federation take an un- qualified stand that all the employes in a mass production industry, such as automobiles, should be organized into one big union? That is the question that promises to provide one of the most bitter con- vention fights in the federation's his- tory. John L. Lewis, scrappy president of the United Mine Workers, says the answer is “yes.” With him are allled such well-known figures in the labor movement as Sidney Hillman, presi- dent of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers; David Dubinsky. president of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers, and George L. Berry, presi- dent of the Printing Presemen. Others Are Inciuded. With Lewis also are the brewery workers, the oil fleld and refinery workers, the Western metal miners, many delegates from the newly-orgal ized Automobile and Rubber Worl ers’ Union, several other interna- delegates from the “Federal” unions— “catch-all” organizations set up in factories which are not under the Jjurisdiction of now-established unions. On the other side are the federa- tion's old guard, led by John Frey of the Metal Trades Department and Arthur Wharton, president of the Machinists’ Union. They deny Lewis’ contention that industrial unions would give labor greater strength than would organiza- tion by craft. What is more, they have been counting noses and pri- vately say that the federation's tradi- tional craft policy will be maintained. Other Matters Impend. Other moves expected next week: (1) Strong condemnation of the Pascist and Nazi forms of govern- ment, and indorsement of President William Green's stand that the United States must stay out of any Euro- pean war. . (2) Defeat of the dozen resolution: calling for the federation to form an independent labor party, despite support for a labor party from the Ladies’ Garment Workers, the United Textile Workers and many others. (3) A new move to purge the fed- eration of Communists. (4) Adoption of a legislative pro- gram calling, among other things, for a continued fight for the 30-hour work week, and minimum wage and maximum hour laws that will comply with the Federal Constitution. (5) Continued efforts to settle the building trades department row. Most of the speech making has been finished. The convention will start consideration of committee reports. These are the basis for the scraps. Before the executive council, auto- mobile unionists aired further their complaint against President Green's appointment of their temporary offi- cers. The council reached no decision and will meet again at the presi- dent’s call. ‘The automobile workers have intro- duced a resolution and may carry their protest before the convention. In the building trades depart- ment dispute, officials continued ne- gotiations but came to no agreement. They will make further efforts to- IMOITOW. — QUADRUPLETS BORN TO ENGLISH WOMAN Four Boys of ‘“Fair Size” Pre- sented to Metal Polisher by Wife. By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. WARSAW, October 12. — President Moscicki looked to two men tonight | ship of Col. Walery Slawek, who re- | cabinet. They are Marjan Zyndram-Kosci- | alowski, Premier Slawek's minister of the interior, and Gen. Casimir Sos- nowski, a close collaborator of the late Marshall Pilsudski. The Slawek cabinet resignations fol- lowed the failure of electoral reforms, fathered by the retiring premier, which allowed voters to ballot only | for candidates named by government- controlled groups. First manifestation of the reform voters at the Summer parliamentary elections. Absence of Foreign Min- ister Joseph Beck in Geneva prevented an earlier change of government, it was said in semi-official circles. Political authorities suggested that Koscialkowskl, if he assumes the pre- miership, would concentrate his ef- | forts on a union of the opposed fac- tions. Reconciliation between the government party and the radical opposition, as well as the government and the nation will be striven for, they said. It was also deemed likely that Kos- | clalkowski would undertake measures for improved economic conditions. Gen. Sosnowski is looked upon by political spokesmen as a second choice, since Koscialkowski has the advan- tage of having had connections with | the radical group. | The president has asked the cabinet ministers to remain in office until the new government is formed. — AIRMAN RACES WINTER DANGERS FOR ILL MAN By the Associated Press.

COMPLETING REFUNDING TASK Treasury Officials Gratified by Success of $8,000,- 000,000 Refinancing. By the Associated Press. Treasury officials raced toward com- pletion of an $8,000,000,000 refinanc- ing job last night, expressing gratifi- cation that another such udertaking will not be necessary for more than four years. ‘With the end of the task of refund- ing the huge issues of Liberty bonds with which America paid its way through the World War, the next se- ries of maturing bonds will become callable in 1940 and in much smaller amount. Intent on their current activities, officials declined to comment on & Re- publican National Committee charge that President Roosevelt's recent re- vision and summation of the budget was “deceptive and misleading.” Figures Held “Misleading.” The committee said the President had “groesly overestimated” expendi- tures and “grossly underestimated” recelpts in order to predict a “fictitious deficit” and show a saving when the fiscal year has been ended. In 1940 the Treasury may, if it chooses, call in an issue of $352,000,- 000 in bonds. Another of $544,914,000 becomes eligible for retirement in 1941 and a third of $834,474,000 in 1943. Much of the New Deal borrowing | has been in 10 and 12 year bonds which will not fall due until 1943. Between then amd 1046, a total of some $5,000,000,000 will mature. The current operation involves the refunding of the last block of Fourth | Liberty bonds, $1,250,000,000 in amount, for which the Treasury offered in exchange new securities at lower in- terest. This conversion will remave the last of the $8,000,000,000 of origi- nal war securities. Reckons Near Billion, Latest estimates were that some $900,000,000 of the bonds had been posted for exchange, and the general expectation was that last returns would raise the total to $1,000,000,- 000, or 80 per cent, which the Treas- ury has come to consider & normal response. On the remaining $250,000,000 it will pay cash as the bonds are pre- sented for redemption, a process that probably will require number of years. The Republican committee said that | at the end of the year, the President would show “he has not spent the money he said he would” and “has received more money than he thought he would.” The committee's views were ex- pressed in its weekly publication, Facts and Opinions, which said “there ihu never been a more deceptive and | misleading statement regarding the | fiscal affairs of the United States” ident. Patriotism Responded. At intervals throughout the war Liberty loans were floated on the crest of a surge of patriotism, each suc- ive issue was far oversubscribed. ‘Four-minute men” spoke in the thea- ters, on street corners and wherever a group might be assembled, urging that the people lend to their Govern- ment. Down to the smallest hamlet, quo- tas were arranged and tremendous | drives put on to meet such allotments | quickly. In numerous sections the | Liberty Loan drives took the form of | contests between communities to see | which could reach its quota soonest. America had been in the war scarce- ly two months before the First Lib- erty Loan was announced. The Gov- ernment asked for $2,000,000,000 and the people offered it $3,035,226,850. The actual issue totaled $1,989,455,000. After three more ‘“Liberties,” at last came the Victory Loan of May 20, 1919. The Government asked for $4,- 500,000,000, was offered $5,249,000,000, and took $4,495,000,000. o END TO WARS ASKED BY JUNIOR CHAMBER Young Men Pay the Price, Na- tional President Says, in Explaining Stand. By the Associated Press. OMAHA, Nebr, October 12.—Di- rectors of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce today adopted & new outline of principles—chief of which was a ringing declaration in favor of abolition of wars of aggres- sion. Passage of the war resolution—< voted unanimously—marked the first time the Junior Chamber of Com- merce directors have taken such ac- tion. Allen Whitfield, president, said the resolution was passed because “of a feeling that the young men are the ones who have to pay the price of ‘war.” The directors voted also for adoption of a plan whereby the members of the organization would act as “godfaijer” to youths in Civillan Conservation Corps camps. Other new planks included one ad- vocating elimination of discrimination in the employment in Government service or in private business between young men and men of any other group or class, and another calling for limitation and eventual abolition of Government competition with private enterprise except such “as is necessary to the proper administration of strictly governmental functions.” Wallace to Speak in Forum than the budget summary of the Pres- | Place Wreath at zations looked on yesterday. COLUMBUS HAILE AS GREAT THINKER ! Found No Conflict Between' Science and Religion, | Wheatley Says. | Chfistopher Columbus found no conflict between science and religion. H. Winship Wheatley, president of the | District Bar Association. declared last night at ceremonies herc marking the 443d anniversary of the discovery of America: Wheatley was the principal speaker at a celebration centered around the | Columbus Monument Fountain at Union Station Plaza. A dozen Catholic ‘ organizations participated in the cere- | mony, sponsored by the Knights of | Columbus. ¢ Asserting Columbus was probably the | | foremost scientific thinker of his day. | Wheatley said: “He pursued sclence for science's sake and there was no attempt to mix religion into it. Columbus found no | coflict between sclence and religion. | | In this he differed from many pseudo- | scientists of today. But rather as | Louis Pasteur found in a later age, |and John Henry Newman expressed, | there can be no conflict. Between true | sclence and true religion there can | never be a conflict. | “‘“Truth cannot be contrary to, truth,’ said the saintly and learned Newman. I venture to add whether it | {be discovered by science or revealed | by the Omniscient. To this truth I} L2 call Columbus to witness, and I say to | you that it gives food for thought to | the men who claim there is such a| conflict.” “Dauntless Courage.” Earlier in the evening George E.| Herring, State deputy of the Knights | of Columbus, delivered an address | broadcast over Station WRC. Lauding Columbus’ determination | to prove his theory that the world was round despite obstacles thrown against him, Herring said “the same daunt- less courage and persistence so well illustrated by Columbus is more than ever needed today, not only by those | charged with the grave responsibility of protecting the rights and liberties of the citizens of America, but by every man, woman and child. “Present disturbing conditions,” he continued, “demand that we face with open eyes and & full realization of their seriousness the problems of to- day. Nothing will be accomplished by blinding our vision to them; nor can we shift our responsibilities and duties to others. Each age must face its own problems and we of today must realize that all of the problems, difficulties, discouragements and hard- ships that now confront us were known and suffered and surmounted by Co- lumbus and by our forefathers in their day and generation, as ploneers and builders of the New World.” A group of Italian organizations yes- terday morning placed a wreath at the foot of the Columbus Statue in the plaza. Knights March to Plaza. At 7 o'clock last evening the Knights of Columbus Councils of the District and military units and societies formed at Tenth and K streets and marched to the plaza.
