U. . ANNEXES 3 PACIFIC ISLANDS Tiny, Barren Dots of Sand and Coral Colonized for Air Bases. Three tiny sand-strewn coral reefs | in the South Seas, far to the south and southwest of Hawaii, have been annexed by the United States and have been colonized as potential air bases for trans-Pacific air commerce between this country and Australia and New Zealand, it became known | here today. Colonization of the islands, hitherto barren, was at the instigation of the Bureau of Air Commerce of the De- partment of Commerce. The new territory will be withia the adminis- tration of the Territory of Hawaii. Necessity for further air base facil- ities became apparent when the Pan- American Airways clipper made its 1,500-mile flight from Wake Island to Guam. J. Walter Doyle, collector of cus- toms in Honolulu, recently visited the three islands, and upon his return to his post, declined to allow his baggage to be examined, contending that he | had not been outside the United | States. It was on the strength of this | contention that the islands were an- nexed. The islands are Jarvis, 1,400 miles due south of Honolulu, nnd‘ Baker and Howland, 60 miles apart | and 1600 miles southwest of the | Hawaiian capital. The reefs were “colonized” by four young Americans of Hawailan blood, under the sponsorship of William T. Miller of the Air Commerce Bureau. The Coast Guard cutter Itasca in- spected the area. W.P. A “S.POILS” HIT BY SOCIALIST CHIEFS Say “We Are No Nearer Solution | of Unemployment Problem.” By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, October 14.—The Na- tional Executive Committee of the So- cialist party adopted a formal state- ment today censuring the Works Progress Administration and declaring the spoils system has become con- &picuous in the W. P. A, Meeting in quarterly session, the ecommittee announced the party’s tional nominating convention next year will be held from May 16 to 22, but made no decision as to a site. Indianapolis, Cleveland and Chicago were under consideration. The statement on the W. P. A. de- elared “we are no nearer a solution of the problem of unemployment than when President Hoover retired and | President Roosevelt succeeded him.” “The admitted failure of the Works Progress Administration,” the state- ment read, “is the culmination of a long series of disappointments for those who relied on the glowing prom- jses of President Roosevelt and his official colleagues. “The Works Progress Administra- tion itself began with an announce- ment of fearfully low wages for skilled and unskilled workers and differing wage scales in the North and South. The wage scales built up by decades of struggle and sacrifice by the organ- {zed workers were so imperiled that the workers rightly answered by strikes in many cities.” HELD IN KILLING OF SON Californian Faces Arraignment in Death of Boy, 4. SAN FRANCISCO, October 14 (. ~—Arthur Hartley, arraignment on a murder charge here today as a result of the fatal shooting of his 4-year-old son at the home of | his estranged wife. Samuel Baker, 38, who entered Mrs. Hartley's apartment while her hus- band was there Saturday night, was wounded in the chest and leg. ‘The boy Robert died several hours after he was shot as he ran across the line of fire. Officers quoted Hartley as saying Mrs. Hartley had denied he was the father of two of their three children. “No matter if I was his father or not,” Hartley cried when told the boy was dead, “I loved him and I love the other children, too.” na- | 30, was held for| moved manually. Tiny Garage Hallts {“Splicing™ 14-Story Office Building Difficulty Discovered in Cutting Structure in l Half to Move It. | By the Associated Press LOS ANGELES, October 14 —Work- men toiled five hours last night trying to fit together two vertical sections of a 14-story office building—and dis- covered & comparatively puny two- story garage blocked the ‘way. | So—the garage will be amputated so half the building can be shifted 5 feet to join its other half, a process made necessary by a new street plan. When the street was widened the building owners figured it was cheaper to take a 5-foot section from the heart | of the structure and then move the halves together than to try to alter the front. RACE DRIVER KILLED Front Wheel Strikes Rear of An- other Car at Knoxville, IlL GALESBURG, Ill, October 14 (#).— Jack Scott, 24, of Champaign, Ill, automobile race driver, was killed yes- | terday at the Knoxville track, near | here.

A study of old-age pension laws was reported today tc have convinced officials that more than 35 States must call special sessions of their Leg- islatures in the next month or so if they are to share immediately in old- age benefits of the social security law. Two of the 11 States that have no old-age pension laws—Virginia and Mississippi—have regularly scheduled sessions in January. Officials con- nected with the Social Security Board said Kentucky, the only other State that has a regular session opening in January, will have lo change her old- age law to conform to Federal require- ments if desiring the benefits. Only one other State's Legislature meets in 1936 in regular session. It is Louisiana, which has no old-age pen- sion law and whose next regular ses- sion is in May. Modifications Needed. ‘While studies of tne State laws were said by officials to be incomplete, they believed that virtually all the 28 States | that had pension legislation before the Federal lJaw was enacted will have to modify their statutes in some respect. Officials said even Delaware, whose pension law is one of the most liberal, probably would have to make minor alterations in order to meet the re- quirement that half of the amount collected from the estate of pension | recipients ‘be paid to the United | States. While the skeleton staff so far as- sembled by the Security Board had not been able to complete its ex- amination of the laws in those States, some officials felt that the last seven to enact pension measures might meet the requirements. These were Arkansas, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Mis- souri, Illinois and Florida. Their statutes were written while the Fed- —Copyright, A. P.

For this reason officials felt that their laws might be found to make them eligible from the outset for | Federal pensions grants. Eleven States have no old-age pen- sion legislation. They are Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North and South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. STOLEN WATCH IS FOUND | IN SUSPECT’S STOMACH X-Ray Outlines Tiny Timepiece. Police Say He Swallowed It as They Closed In. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 14— William T. Fletcher had time on his stomach as well as on his hands today. He was held in jail on suspicion of having robbed Mrs. Mildred Ferguson of her watch. Police Capt. Clyde Dugger said Fletcher swallowed the tiny wrist watch as the officer ap- proached to arrest him. An X-ray photograph, taken at the | police hospital, disclosed the time- | plece in Fletcher's stomach, Dugger said.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 14.—Amelia Earhart Putnam disclosed today she had returned the -medal that was pinned on her with considerable cere- mony by Dr. Giuseppe Castruccio, Italian consul general to Chicago. The famous aviatrix advanced this reason for her action: She had regarded the award as an official decoration of Mussolini’s gov- ernment. The consul subsequently informed her, instead, that it was a “gift of his personal devotion.” So she sent it back. The medal was presented befdre 2,500 clubwomen here last May 23. ‘The general impression was that it betokened Italy’s recognition of Miss Earhart’s achievements. Her hus- band, George Palmer Putnam, said the leather case bore this inscription: “Conferred on Amelia Earhart by BISHOP OF DERBY DIES Dr. Edmund C. Pearce Was For- merly Mayor of Cambridge.
