Globe-Girdler Finds Repese Even Though Liner } 2 Is Tossing. £ BY LEO KIERAN. By Radio to The Btar. ON BOARD THE PRESIDENT PIERCE, EN ROUTE TO MANILA, October 14.—This reporter, having set out to make a trip around the world by using only established commercial transportation facilities open to any traveler, is now steaming toward Manila exactly on schedule. Natives along my route, however, appeared to have the mistaken idea that this was an attempt to better the “round-the-world record of seven days established my Wiley Post. Without chartering special pianes, it is appar- ent that regularly scheduled transport facilities at present cannot bring a person around the world in less than three weeks. Landing at Hongkong early yester- day afternoon banished all doubts of making my schedule, the Imperial Airways plane bringing me here with several hours to spare for my boat connection. At Manila, I expect to take the China Clipper for San Fran- cisco on the first regular passenger flight across the Pacific. Talks to Correspondent. Flying into Hongkong, I talked by radio-telephone with a New York Times correspondent stationed in the city and asked him to have a car in readiness to take me to the steamship pier. This, so they tell me, marked the first time in the Far East that agy one on land had conversed with an airplane passenger by radio. CAfter the long hop by air from Brindisi, Italy, the sea leg of my round-the-world journey looks pirticularly inviting to a somewhat wearied traveler. I'll have a chance td' get brushed and shined up a bit fgr the homeward hop across the Pacific. My flight from Bangkok to Hong- kpng, through Penang, Saigon and Turanne, was accomplished in the wbrst weather conditions I have expe- rienced in 18 years of aviation, but, from a passenger viewpoint, it was tHrilling, exhilarating and time-shat- tering. The plane left Saigon at dawn, 10 minutes late because of the tgrdiness of the auto driver from the hotel. We climbed through the clouds t4 16,000 feet and headed northeast for Turanne, where we landed only five hours behind the regular run, which is supposed to start the day at ‘Turanne for the trip to Hongkong. The plane refueled and soared to the 13,000-foot level for the 600-mile flight over water to Hongkong, where ‘we arrived two hours behind schedule. But I still had nearly three hours in which to catch the boat, only a short distance away. Out of Laundry. I found myself completely out of laundry, so I spent the intervening time in remedying the lack. I pur- chased three shirts and & pair of gray slacks to replace my trousers, which had been ruined when my fountain pen exploded at a high altitude, spat- tering them with ink. ‘The President Pierce is rolling vio- lently as this is written—more dis- comfort. I have gxperienced in the last 12,000 miles—but I find re- pose in the thought that there will be no hurried rising at dawn to go else- ‘where. I would recommend thas, on a dupli- cation of my trip, longer stops be made to see the wonders of the world, but that the travel schedule be kept the same. With week end visits to interesting places, the world might be done educationally and comfort- ably in less than six weeks, (Copyright, 1936, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

Dancer in Psychopathic Ward of New York Hospital. NEW YORK, October 14 (#).—Fed- eral authorities disclosed today that Frank Vittolo, a former acrobatic and adagio dancer of Yonkers, N. Y., ac- cused of several attempts to extort sums ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 from prominent persons, is under ob- servation at the Bellevue psychopathic ward. Department of Justice agents said he had confessed to having attempted to extort money from Harry Sinclair, the oil man; Bernard E. Smith, a broker; Ool. Douglas I. McKay, a banker, and Dr. Alexander H. Rice of Newport, R. I, an explorer. They said he had admitted writing to W. R. Coe, whose Long Island home was robbed of $237,000 in jewels several months ago, the return of the jewels for $20,000. Vittolo is held in lieu of $10,000 bail. A Department of Justice agent in Philadelphia disclosed that Vittolo had admitted attempting to extort $5,000 from Mrs. George Horace Lorimer, wife of the editor of the Saturday Evening Post. > Chinese Road Finished, Ta Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. 80?

The Dane is the most affectionate of all dogs, he in- sists, explaining how one, s bob- tailed animal, lost his tail. “You may believe it or not” he said, “but that dog broke his tail thumping it on the floor, greeting & member of the family. We had to amputate it.” k%% IN HASTE. Judge Mattingly, court attaches will tell you, never is more impres- sive than when he gives a bum the choice of getting out of town in one hour or going to jail jor many months. Yesterday was one of his very best days in that respect. The derelict to whom he had doled out the sentence asked a policeman to direct him to the nearest spot on the border of the District. The officer thought a moment, then suggested the Highway Bridge as the quickest ezxit, giving ez plicit directions for reaching it. “Lord,” said the bum, “do you think I can make it? He gave me only an hour.” L ] STICKERS. ONE of those sees-all, imagines-a-lot ‘Washingtonians has figured out that a local family which owns a big automobile is living pretty miserably until election day. His deduction is based upon the evi- dence offered by two plates, one on each rear fender of the car. On the driver's side, in other words, the husband’s, the plate voices a prefer- ence for Roosevelt, while that on the right rear fender is a Landon-Knox plate. One could assume that the couple were great kidders, but the more cor- rect, if sadder, assumption is that the husband and wife no longer are see- ing eye-to-eye. The same operative, a really ob- servant person, says he has yet to see a Lemke sign or sticker on an au- tomobile. From that, he deduces that Lemke advocates do not have cars on which to put stickers. k% % MORE STICKERS. CAR stickers and plates, indeed, seem to be much in the contem- plative mind these days. ‘The owner of one such mind looks forward with terror to the day when automobile owners will start using their vehicles as billboards upon which to voice all their preferences and prejudices. He anticipates the day, for instance, when the citizens whose cars voice & preference for cocktalls will decide to ride down those whose stickers proclaim a taste for tes. thinks, unless the country's traffic authorities take steps to bring auto- mobiles back to the simple status of horseless carriages. * 2% x GIFT. 8 EDITOR of the National Aero- nautic Association’s monthly house journal, Wayne Parrish has been the recipient of some odd gifts, but none more peculiar than an un- willing air traveler who came to him the other day from Arizona as a per- sonal gift. ‘The stranger, a full-grown Arizona porcupine, caught by a Supai Indian on the rim of the Grand Canyon, now is a boarder at the Washington Zoo until Parrish makes up his mind what to do about it. Porky was put into a box with some lettuce and loaded into a tri-motored plane, which flew him the length of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, N. Mex., where he went aboard a regular airliner eastbound. “He is quite shy and neutral in his politics,” said a note accompanying the animal. * x X GESTURE. The story comes to us that a young man about town was passing a bank oh Fourteenth street the other day with an important re- ceipt in his pocket. Just as he was passing, an armored truck stopped and the guards swarmed all over the street in front of the bank. The young man at this moment thought of the receipt and reached into his side coat pocket to re- assure himself it was still there. The guards immediately became very interested and it is recorded that the seams of the pocket as well as the young man’'s merves underwent a severe strain as he very hurriedly ezhibited his hand to the custodians of the cash. * k Kk & GYPPED.

KIERAN BOARDS | [Washingzon]|P.W. A TMING . PERSONS REFUSING CSHP TOMANLAI| Wavside || HELD ESSENTIALIDATA SUBPOENAED Coyle Tells Engineers Proj- ects Should Not Be Self- Liquidating. The economic depression has proved that public works must conform with certain conditions of the business cycle in order to be successful when private business is at low ebb, David Cush- man Coyle, noted New York consult- ing engineer and political eccnomist, said last night. He spoke at the final session of the annual convention of the National Soclety of Professional Engineers at the Hotel Mayflower. “Public works, we have found, must be inaugurated in opposite order to the business cycle,” Coyle said in his address on “Timing of Public Works.” ‘To best serve their purpose in periods of depression and deflation, Coyle as- serted public works should be con- ducted by the Federal Government, the bonds should be sold only to banks and projects should not be self-liqui- dating. The reasons he gave for this state- meat were financial difficulties of municipal governments in depressions, the fact that proceeds from bonds re- tired by the Government from private individuals will help inflate capital markets, and the contention that self- liquidating works do not help pur- chasing power. Traces Financial Oycle. Coyle traced the business and gov- ernmental finance cycle before the depression and asserted in years of prosperity the Federal Government was retiring bonds held by private citizens. He attributed this money going into circulation as the chief cause of security market inflation. Experence in public works to date, Coyle contended, has proved it would have been better to apend more billions each year for better projects and put fewer men on the Government work pay roll, thus causing countless other unemployed to be put to work by pri- vate business. Then, he continued, there would be “no boondoggling.” He advocated greater expenditures for public works in future periods of de- Ppression. Other speakers on last night's con- cluding program, which followed the society's annual banquet, were Harry P. Mitchell, president of the United States Civil Service Commission, and Arthur V. Sheridan, incoming presi- dent of the society, chief engineer of the Bronx Borough, New York City, and editor of the American Engineer. Engineers, Mitchell said, have played an important part in modern inven- tion, from invention of the wheel through many centuries to the auto- mobile and the airplane. Sheridan spoke on “Whither Soci- ety,” and declared engineers must de- velop a higher conception of the spir- itual side of life and be more con- sclous of their obligations to society as well as to science and the creation of material things. “To the question, concord or chaos, the answer rests largely with the engineer,” Sheridan said. “Whether he will lead mankind ‘We cannot say, unless he studies man.” Sheridan succeeds Dr. D. B. Stein- man, New York consulting engineer, as president of the soclety. Moderators for Watershed. Rural Electrification Administrator Morris L. Cooke, in an address to the society yesterday afternoon, ' advo- cated appointment of so-called “mod- erators” for every watershed in the country, to co-ordinate residents and land owners and to represent their interests in the cause of conservation, The American people, he said, must be impressed with the urgency of the conservation movement which “is go- ing to involve more sacrifices than usually go with public service.” “I have said before that unless conservation of resources is under- taken, and on an adequate scale, our Nation has only 100 years of virile national existence ahead of it,” Cooke told his audience. The convention closed with s dance following the annual dinner, The first sessions were held Monday, after two days of sightseeing for early arrivals.

Burial was with full military honors. Col. Gibson died Friday in New Haven, Conn. Senate Committee on Cam- paign Expenditures Ignored in Several States. B> the Assoctated Press. A special Senate committee investi gating campaign expenditures was de- scribed by authoritative sources to- day as having issued subpoenas for several unnamed “prominent” pere sons who refused to furnish infor- mation to the committee. ‘The subpoenas have not been served, it was said, but are in’the hands of United States attorneys and deputy marshals in several States. Service was being deferred, the informant said, in the hope that the individuals would respond to the committee’s re- quest. Chairman Lonergan was represented as hopeful he could persuade the pere sons for whom the subpoenas were is- sued to come voluntarily to his of- fice and provide the desired informa- tion. 2 If the refusals persist, Lonergan ‘was reported as determined to “give no quarter.” Two Ignore Committee. Although identities of those named in the subpoenas remained undis- closed, it was learned two men “around Pittsburgh” had failed even to ac- knowledge the committee’s original telegrams, Committee investigators have been at work in Pennsylvania the last week in connection with Republican charges that Works Progress Administration employes there were being subjected to “political coercion.” Inquiries into complaints involving New Jersey, Maine and Michigan also have been instituted. Some committee members were de- scribed as having sought to persuade Lonergan to subpoena “about 60" prominent men, but the chairman re- jected the proposal. Public Hearings Likely. If the subpoenas already issued are served, it was explained, public hear- ings might be necessary, although some other form of questioning might be used. In the last few days, it was said, the committee has received “collect” telegrams from several political lead- ers questioning credentials of men representing themselves as agents of the committee. “While seeking further identifica- tion of these agents” an informed source said, “these telegrams also con- ! tained political attacks against the committee and frequently were made public by the senders.” Lonergan, the informant said, re- fused to accept the messages and the charges always were paid ‘“on the other end.” D. C. MAN CLEARED OF ASSAULT CHARGE Verdict Directed by Judge in Case of Argument With Policeman. Thomas E. McDonald, 23, of 309 Third street southeast, was found not guilty in Police. Court yesterday on a charge of assaulting Policeman H. L. Pilling, third precinct. The verdict was returned by the jury on direction of Judge Edward M. Curran. ‘The incident leading to the charge occurred on the bridge at Twenty- ninth and K streets cn he night of October 1. According to testimony, one lane of thé bridge was blocked by a stalled truck and McDonald and Pilling attempted to cross the bridge in opposite directions in the same lane. Meeting in the middle, each refused to back his car up and s scuffie between them followed. Pilling testified his car was in the wrong lane. ‘The jury was practically the seme as that which was challanged last week on constitutional grounds be- cause 12 of its 36 members had been discharged by Judge Curran. Twelve new members from the reserve list had been called since and Attorney T. Edward O'Connel, representing McDonald, said he would not chal- lenge the jury today. —_— METHODISTS TO VOTE ON UNIFICATION IN 1937 Virginia Conference Decides Not to Wait for Action of General Body Year Later.

DANZIG OPPOSITION Social Democratic Party and Affiliated Groups Disbanded by Police. By the Associated Press. FREE CITY OF DANZIG, October 14.—The Social Democratic party and affliated organizations, comprising the strongest opposition to Nazi political groups, was disbanded by police to- day. The dissolution order was based on alleged illegal ownership of ammuni- tion which Nazi secret police claimed they discovered during a raid on party headquarters October 8. ‘The official action followed a strong political campaign waged by the Nazis to gain complete control of the Free City government during which 100 social democratic leaders were ar- Tested. Dissolution of the party caused con- siderable excitement here. Nazi secret police, acting quickly, ists to 125. | agent for the League of Nations re- | turned to see that the free city ad- ministration lives up to the guaranteed constitution. Lester, who was high commissioner of Danzig for the League of Nations, was appointed deputy secretary- general of the League September 30. At the time it was decided he would continue his work in Danzig until & successor was appointed. Simultaneously, it .was announced that Gerhardt Weise had resigned as leader of the Nationalist party, to be succeeded by Kurt Blavier. Duke of .Leinster (Continued Prom First Page.) lived, until 1928, on a £1,000 yearly allowance from the purchaser of his contingent reversionary interest in the Leinster family estates. This allowance, however, was made subject to several conditions, one of which specified he could not go abroad without permission. He also disclosed he never had ap- plied for a discharge from bankrupt- cies ordered in 1919 and 1922, ‘The exact amount of his present gross liabilities is £139,233. ‘The Duke of Leinster created an international stir in 1922 by proposing to race across the ocean in a ketch and came to New York to arrange the race. However, he returned to Europe to face his creditors. Shortly thereafter, in 1923, he was convicted of obtaining credit without disclosing the fact that he was an un- discharged bankrupt, but the Old Bailey recorder discharged him. Miss Etheridge, former musical star, who was the duke’s first wife, was found dead in February of 1935 in a bungalow near Brighton, England. Authorities said a bottle near her body contained a sleeping potion. The Irish peer married her in 1913, She had come to his attention when the leading lady in her show became ill and she was given the star’s part for the night. They had one son, the present Marquis of Kildare. Ever since he inherited his title upon the death of his elder brother, killed in action in 1916, the Duke of Leinster has been in financial straits.

By the Associated Press. HILLIARD, Fla., October 14.—Three Daytona Beach, Fla., men were killed today when their cabin monoplane crashed near here after losing one wing. ‘They were: Ralph Green, about 35, real estate operator and sportsman pilot. Robert Bond, salesman in Green's office. Hearst McClelland, 45, garage owner. The men took off from the Daytona Beach Airport this morning for De- troit, Mich., in Green's plane. They passed over the Jacksonville Airport and had almost crossed the Georgiae Florida State line, near here, when the accident happened. ‘The plane circled wide over a Civil- ian Conservation Corps camp and was heading back toward Jacksonville, ‘when watchers at the camp saw one wing crumple. The plane, fiying low, fell immediately. It did not burnm, but was badly damaged. All three men were dead when mems bers of the camp reached them. To Send Investigator.

Committee was convinced the Mary- land fight was hopeless. ‘The Young Republicans’ letter, sen! to Joseph W. Martin, jr., Eastera manager of the Landon-Knox cam-« paign, said: “News has traveled around that the Republican Naticoal Committee will depart from its usual custom in na- tional campaigns and will not send any funds into Maryland, and that this is because of the Baltimore Sun papers poll.” MUST FACE TRIAL Detective Robert J.

District Schools Block Tendencies To ‘Mirror Minds’ Modern methods in Washington's public schools have eliminated a tendency toward so-called “mirror- mindedness” in left-handed children, according to Robert L. Haycock, first assistant superintendent of schools. Discussing a statement by Dr. Paul Ewerhardt, director of the Child Guidance Clinic, to the effect that ‘mirror-mindedness” is on the in- crease in many schools throughout the country, Haycock said this mental condition is usually the result of mis+ guided efforts to change children nat- urally left-handed. No such efforts are made under modern methods in use here. “Mirror mindedness,” Haycock ex- plained, is not unusual, but ordinarily such children escape being retarded when left to develop in their own way. Haycock said all such children are the subjects of special and” individual studies by Miss Jessie La Salle, chief psychologist. Haycock also said the modern plan of teaching reading by the “thought unit” method helps develop the chlle * dren much more rapidly than the old- fashioned “phonetic” method. (
