. BRITAIN DEMANDS FREE DARDANELLES 24-Clause Document Asks Clear Entry to Black Sea for All Ships. BACKGROUND— Polite Turkish diplomais, to whom direct violation of treaty pledges have seemed odious, if not crude, made respectful pleas to re- arm the Dardanelles. The powers were almost comic in their rush to bless the Turks and forestall anoth- er slap in the face such as Germany administered in reoccupying the Rhine. Advisers said that Turkey could easily have defled any objec- tion with much of the rearming already accomplished. Meeting of the League to de- bate the Ethiopian question broke up the conference recently where Japan, as usual, was chief objector to restrictions, especially those that might bar submarines. By the Associatea Pre: MONTREUX, Switzerland, July 6.— Great Britain demanded today un- restricted passage for her warships to the Black Sea &s the International Dardanelles Conference resumed its session. The British proposal was embodied in an official document of 24 articles distributed to all delegations at the conference. . Contrary to the draft of the Turk- ish proposal, the British demand cre- ated a stir among delegates called to- gether to consider a Turkish request to refortify the Straits, officially con- stituted as the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorous. (Turkey, at the first sessions which were interrupted by the League of Nations assembly meeting, proposed to limit warship tonnage proceeding east- ward through the Dardanelles to 14,- 000 tons at any one time.) Commission Requested. The British draft maintenance of some form of a Straits commission, a feature which Turkey eliminated from her four- peinted request because she declared | no international supervision was necessary. The British statement also refused TTurkey the right to close the Darda- nelles when Turkish diplomats become | convinced their nation may be men- aced by war. The British insisted Turkey should gubmit such a question to the League Council, which would decide by a two- thirds vote whether Turkey was menaced The British proposal was expected to draw opposition from the Japanese gince Japan has withdrawn from the | League of Nations and therefore can- not be governed by a decision of the council. No Preferemce Sought. Great Britain acknowledged rights for passage through the Dardanelles given to her as a belligerent would be accorded to other belligerents. Critics of the suggestion remarked this, however. would automatically favor Great Britain because of her naval supremacy. The British document also proposed an increase in tonnage each nation may send through the Straits from 14000 to 15000 tons in peacetime with & maximum of 30000 tons for all nations which would be boosted to 45,000 tons if the size of the Rus- gizn fleet were increased A plenary session of the conferees was called for 5 pm. to discuss the British draft. also proposed | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Mrs. Roosevelt Opens W. P. A. Tour 3 inspecting relief projects. o Mrs. Roosevelt is shown as she opened a W. P. A. and N. Y. A. inspection tour with a visit to a sewing room of the District W. P. A. With her is Miss Gertrude Van Hoesen, director of the sewing department. Mrs. Roosevelt recently announced she would spend most of the Al i ummer —A. P. Photo. fields last night and turned to W. P. A. jobs for a livelihood. While a scorching sun seared away all hope of drenching rains for at least three more days, hands that should have been harvesting reached for picks and shovels. In North Dakota, where week-end | temperatures boomed along at 100 de- to shift from farmer-producers to labor - consumers today. Hundreds more were to be added to relief proj- ects as the week progressed until the State’s quota of 10.000 was filled. ‘The farmer would at least have the pleasure of improving his roads to market while he worked for the W. P. A, Administrator Will G. Metz of | Wyoming declared. He highways and water development projects would employ most idle farmhands in his State, beginning | with 400 to 600 men today and build- ing up to 1,500 by the close of July. Five hundred farmers were ready |for W. P. A. jobs with the coming of dawn. Thre2 thousand more were to be at work in Montana. “within the next few days,” Deputy Admini- istrator C. W. Fowler said. The weather forecaster pored over his maps at Chicago, but could see no sign of rain that would amount to any- thing “for two or three days anyway."” j Masses of hot, dry air continued to ,pour in from the Pacific over the whole Midwest Northeast winds blowing off Lake Michigan kept Chi: cago comparatively cool, but blistering weather reigned in Montana, Wyo- mirg, the Daoktas, Minnesota, Ne- braska, Kansas, Eastern Colorado, | Missouri, Towa, Illinois and Indiana. Waters were subsiding in the South Texas flood region, with 26 dead and property loss estimated at $3,500,000. The hot-weather belt stretched into Alaska, sending temperatures into the 80s. Mrs. Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) brought (Continued From First Page.) opening with sellers holding on in the face of the bullish market Corn futures were up about 4 cents. The Winnipeg wheat market was more than 4 cents higher at times and Liverpool quotations closed 4 to 4'4 cents up. Resumption of heavy speculative buying in all world grain markets was based on fear that wheat production in the Northern Hemisphere might be so small as, to seriously impair necessary reserves carried over from one crop to another. The balance of the supply situation was finely weighed on the outcome of the Canadian Spring wheat crop. and many traders believed that should it develop that losses in the Dominion were substan- tial, the supply and demand adjust- ment might be close. Although the United States Winter crop turned out better than last year, this country was expected to be forced to continue on an importing basis, dependent par- ticularly on Canada for better grades of wheat. The world's carry-over of wheat was estimated at the smallest level in nine years. Successive years of poor crops in North America since 1932 have re- gulted in substantial depletion of the big reserves which a few years ago constituted surpluses that depressed world wheat prices, Thousands of Catholics in Nebraska knelt at special masses yesterday to pray for rain. They were urged to continue their orisons. In an Epis- copal letter on “these days of alarm and distress,” Bishop L. B. Kucera of | Lincoln set forth in part: “In view of crop failures in our territory during the past several years, the present situation gives rise to a most acute problem. Human ingenuity fails completely. Poisoned mash may conquer the grasshoper plague, but what shall we do to move those things which only God can control? There is but one answer. We must pray.” Out in Arizona the Navajo Indians chanted supplication in a “rain-mak- | ing” ritual. Approximately 3,000 resourceless farmers in Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana were called to work on W. P. A. relief projects. Adminis- trators planned to employ at least 50,000 in building water couservation dams and farm-to-market roads in those States and South Dakota and Minnesota. Harried planters looked to Wash< ington for the ompletion of a full program, co-ordinating the activi- ties of all Federal agencies acting in the emergency. There—today or to- morrow—Government relief officials planned to lay a detailed report on the Midwestern drought and an out- | | E W. P. A. director of women's work in | the District, and Miss Marie McCurry, special assistant to Mrs. Ellen 8. Wood- 1 ward, assistant W. P. A. administrator in charge of the women's division. Here the President’s wife examined closely garments ranging from outing sleeping wear to dainty cotton frocks, showing particular interest in the knit- ting room where 53 colored women were busily engaged in making sweat- ers and caps. These, she was told, will be stored until Autumn before they are distributed. Hopes for Cafeteria. As she left the building, Mrs. Funk- houser pointed across the street to show where the unit hopes to have a cafeteria and a nursery school at some future date. . At the surplus commodity warehouse, where all articles for W. P. A. relief are distributed, Mrs. Roosevelt was told that direct relief to 6,000 unem- | ployable cases, representing some 25, 000 persons, is handled there. Ap- proximately 8,000 cases are also on | work relief, she was told. The turn- |over at the surpius commodity house averages every 30 days, it was said. Though residence of one year fs | required for W. P. A. relief, many of the cases are persons who have { moved to the District within the last several years, it was said. | Commenting on the cleanliness of the buildings used in the project, | Mrs. Roosevelt called the work “a | remarkable success out of poor sur- | roundings.” Inquiring about a maid-training | project, Mrs. Roosevelt also com- | mented: | “The country over, these projects | are not very popular. Women won't take them if they can be trained for anything else, conditions when they | come out are so bad. Along with the | schools for maids should go another | school for employers.” Mrs. Roosevelt will leave Washing- ton tonight for Arthurdale, W. Va., to confer with officials on the amal- gamation of the resettiément school system. From there she will go to New York.

NEW YORK, July 6.—Federal agents out to destroy an international bond | theft syndicate credited with two phantom-like snatches totaling $2,- 1 046.000 hunted today two men whose arrest would bring to 18 the number’ in custody. Agents of the Federal Bureau of In- | vestigation who rounded up the five men. including & material witness in | the William Hamm, jr.. kidnaping case in St. Paul. had hoped a series of quiet | week end forays also would snare that pair. Although the continued hunt for | these two—unidentifiecd—was unsuc- cessful so far, the officers retrieved two $100,000 Treasury notes from a bag checked at Grand Central Terminal. Rhea Whitley, New York representa- tive of the Federal bureau, said the check for this bag was found in pos- session of Morris Roisner, the Hamm kidnaping witness This recovery in addition to others. including $440.000 worth of securities picked up in Europe several wecks ago | brought the total retrieved to about £950.000.

Roisner, Bond-Theft Suspect, Linked to Karpis-Barker Gang St. Paul “Merchant” Shadowed by G-Men After Hamm Case. BY REX COLLIER. F Morris Roisner, held by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York in connection with the theft of $2,000,000 in bonds there more than a year ago, has been in “association” with the Karpis-Barker gang of kid- napers, it was disclosed here today by J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. director. Alvin Karpis, former so-called pub- lic enemy No. 1 and co-leader with the Barker brothers, Arthur and Fred, in the kidnapings of William Hamm, jr., and Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul millionaires, was captured recently in New Orleans by F. B. L. agents. It .was recalled today that after Karpis' arrest, Hoover, in reply to a press query as to whom the F. B. 1. would “go after next,” remarked that “special attention” would be given to “stolen bond racketeers.” Roisner was arrested several weeks ago by G-men as a “material witness” in the Hamm kidnaping and was re- leased under $1,000 bond. Since his release he and several associates in the alleged stolen bond racket have been under constant surveillance of Federal agents. Roisner, Hoover said, “purported to operate” a clothing concern in St. Paul, and is interested also in a liquor store, bar and tavern there. Under- world figures are known to have fre- MORRIS ROISNER. ‘The nature fo Roisner’s alleged con- nection with the Karpis-Barker gang and the Hamm kidnaping was not divulged by the F. B. I director, but it was declared he was in “association with the ringleaders in this (the Hamm) abduction.” The ringleaders of that kidnaping, the F. B. L previously has asserted, | were Karpis, captured recently in New | Orleans, and the Barker brothers, Arthur, serving life at Alcatraz Prison, | and Fred, killed by F. B, I. agents in Florida. quented Roisner’s establishments.
