PUZZLE CONTEST ‘BEGING THURSDAY $100 and 100 Tickets to Be Given by Auto Trade Body. The Washington Automotive Trade Association through the co-operation of The Evening and Sunday Star will again present a series of auto show puzzles, first of which will be found in Thursday's Star. There will be 20 puzzles in all, each one representing one of the auto- mobiles that will be on exhibit at the fifteenth annual automobile show to be held at 2601 Calvert street north~ west, November 14 to 21, inclusive. Skill is the key to the solving of these puzzles. Purpose Two Fold. The purpose of the contest is two- fold. First is the idea to stimulate continuous interest in the forthcom- ing show. The second is to provide amusement for the workers of the puzzles. On top of all this, $100 and 100 tickets to the show will be awarded the winners in the contest. The prizes will be distributed as follows: First prize, $50 and 12 tickets; second, $25 and 8 tickets; third, $10 and 6 tickets; fourth, $5 and 4 tickets. In addition there will be 10 more prizes of $1 each and 2 tickets each. As a con- solation for the next best contestants | 25 awards of 2 tickets each will be | offered. It costs nothing to enter the con- test. Copies of The Star may be examined in the files in the business office. In case of ties duplicate prizes ! will be given. Officials of the Wash- | ington Automotive Trade Association will be the judges of the contest and their decisions will be final. Will Last 20 Days. ‘The puzzles, starting Thursday, will last 20 consecutive days. When the lists are completed, address them to | the Washington Automotive Trade | Association, room 407, 1427 I street | northwest. With these answers a slo- gan of not more than 20 words de- scribing “Why the Automobile Show should be held in Washington every year” should be inclosed. This slogan is necessary. Accuracy and neatness | will be the deciding points. | Every one is eligible to compete | except emploves of The Star and the Washington Automotive Trade Association. All inquiries should be | directed to the office of the W. A. T. | A. Complete contest rules will be | found each day at the foot of the puzzle. | Winners will be announced in the | Auto Show section of The Star, Sun- | day, November 15. Milk (Continued From First Page.) say, asking us how much it costs to produce a ton of hay. “Well, T'll tell them if theyll all| come up and pitch hay all day in the | sun at 105 degrees, they'll think a ton of hay is worth its weight in gold. “If the consumer wants to fight, why doesn’t he go te the distributor and fight? If people like them are going to talk here, we might as well go | home and husk our:corn.” Only Hope Is Raise, Derrick said the only hope for in- creasing supply was a 47-cent a hun- | dredweight raise in the minimum | prices set by the agreement and , order for the Washington market. | From a present minimum of $3.02 for class 1 he wants the farmer price hoisted to $3.49, and for class 2 from | $2.82 to $3.29. These changes are equivalent to 4 cents a gallon, an increase of 1 cent & quart in the amount paid out by the distributor, and Washington dis- tributors have said informally that they would pass the increase on to the consumer. At the same time, Derrick asked for Rn increase in the percentage of milk for which the producer can obtain top price. This would be effected by A change in what is known as the farmer’s “base.” “The producer is put at a tremen- dous disadvantage by the increase in the cost of feed since June,” Derrick said in explaining his contention that | the farmer cannot afford to produce for the present price the amount of | milk Washington needs. Feed Supply Drops. “The harvest of clover and timothy is 50 per cent below what it was a year ago. Alfalfa is 75 per cent less. Pasture is so poor that the farmer has to buy grain, and the grain purchas- ing power of the milk producer is at its lowest point since 1927. “Labor costs have gone up since 1933. The general agricultural index is what it was in 1930, but the index for the milk farmer is 7 per cent under 1930. The butter manufacturer is get- ting 69.9 per cent more for his product than he did in 1933, but the farmer gets the same for his milk.” A survey made by the Maryland and Virginia Association among 131 pro- ducers showed that their grain and feed purchases increased by 43.89 per cent during the June-September period of this year above the same period in 1935, Derrick said. “Six of these 131 bought hay in 1935 and 26 of them bought hay in 1936,” he added as he piled up testi- mony to support his contention that it cost the farmer too much to produce his milk. At the beginning of the hearing, R. 8. Scott, attorney for the Washington Hotel and Restaurant Owners’ Asso- ciation, announced he would oppose the suggested price increases. Scott suggested that since the ques- tion of an injunction against the op- eration of the marketing agreement and its minimum price provisions is under consideration in District Court the hearing should be postponed. He was overruled. Issuance of the injunction depends on Justice Oscar Luhring, who is ex- pected to act within a few days. JAMES H. BOGGS, 72, RETIRED CLERK, IS DEAD James H. Boggs, 72, of 1026 Six- teenth street, retired clerk of the Treasury Department, died yesterday in Emergency Hospital. He had been i1l three weeks. Mr. Boggs, & native of King George County, Va., was retired from Gov- ernment service two years ago. He is survived by two daughters, Miss Lucile Hooe Boggs, this city, and Mrs, Herbert Grimes, Baltimore; a brother, John G. Boggs. Pittsburgh, Pa. and two grandchildren. His wife, Mrs. Lucy Hooe Boggs, died in 1931.

N ELDERLY woman carrying A a reticule and looking very much like a lively little bird, confided to an elevator boy in the Department of Commerce Building the other day—and he in turn confided it to us—that she would like to “see the proper authorities” as she had an idea that would save the Government money. “It's all nonsense,” she said, em- phatically wagging her birdlike head until her bonnet danced, “spending all this money for cement playgrounds for children and all that. There's no reason at all why this building can't be utilized on Sundays as a roller skating rink for Washington chil- dren.” The corridors, she figured out, would make an ideal place for Johnny or Mary to skate around in while Gov- ernment activities were suspended over the Sabbath. ‘The idea so piqued the press divi- sion of the department that the staff proffered some statistics to show that eight miles of corridors probably would make the biggest skating rink in the world. The subject lent itself to expansion. Some one suggested computing how many happy young- sters could be toted up and down to skate on the various floors if the 32 elevators were kept running at their full capacity of 800 passengers at one time, and other ideas were suggested having to do with two-lane skating traffic in the 9-foot halls and three- | way traffic in the 15-foot wide halls. There was general let-down of en- thusiasm when some one expressed interest in “seeing the expression on the Secretary’s face on Monday morning.” * ok ok x GARGOYLE. The spectacle people, driven always by an aesthetic semse to produce eye-glasses that will make every one look younger than his vears, or her years, probably would not be happy over something one of our operatives reports. The most gargoylish-looking gar- goyle she has found in Washington, she says, is one on an apartment house at Tenth street and Massa- chusetts avenue.

Through some slip, the tickets addressed to him eluded the other last Saturday, and he used them to go to the Bucknell game. The tickets, he went around telling his friends, were “the first Georgetown passes in years that had not been intercepted.” * x x X PETS. TAKE the word of Washington friends who go down to the Heath | Steele place in Maryland, the farm really is the great leveler in this world. At any rate all distinctions between a baby crow, a kitten and an Irish setter puppy—pets of the Steeles —have been eliminated. The three get along as if they belonged to the | same species: perhaps even better. All in the best of fun, the crow has a habit of nipping the tail of the kit- ten, which in turn cavorts with the puppy, until all three are so tired they saunter over to the common milk pan and refresh themselves like so many | little lambs. ‘The adult pet of the farm, the Irish setter father of the puppy, views the whole performance with an amused and affectionate tolerance. * ¥ % STICKER. An admirer of Roosevelt con- fesses to a sort of Landonish twinge at the sight of a sticker which he spied on the automobile of another Democrat on Pennsylvania avenue the other day.

WILL HONOR CARDINAL PACELL Papal Secretary of State to Receive Degree at Cere- mony Thursday. Georgetown University will confer its highest honorary degree Thursday afternoon upon Eugenio Cardinal Pa- celli, its was announced today, on the occasion of the brief visit' which the papal secretary of state is to make in Washington. Very Rev. Arthur A. O'Leary, 8. J., president of the university, said that Cardinal Pacelll would visit George- town at 5:13 o'clock in the altere noon, after a trip to Mount Vernon. He will receive from the oldest Cath- olic educational institution in the United States a degree of doctor of canon and civil law, an honor which Georgetown has bestowed only once before upon a foreign visitor, when Marshal Foch of France visited the university. A reception will be tendered the prelate Thursday morning by the faculty, students and members of the religious communities of Catholic Uni- versity in the gymnasium. He will be welcomed by the chancellor, Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, and then will address the convocation. After the exercises Cardinal Pacelli will visit the library and the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart on the university campus. Georgetown is arranging an aca- demic ceremony which will take | place in Gaston Hall as soon as the | | distinguished prelate arrives nn the campus. He will be met at the col- lege gates by the battalion of R. O. T. | C. cadets. Only the facuity, student | body and a few especially invited guests will attend the ceremony. There will follow a reception in his | | honor in the Hall of the Cardinals. | Cardinal Pacelli also is scheduled | | to address a gathering of newspaper | | correspondents at the National Press | Club at 1 pm. During his visit, he | | will be asked to write his name in the | | club’s guest book. The trip to Mount | Vernon will follow this meeting. | Immediately after the exercises at Georgetown, Cardinal Pacelll will de- part from the city. While in New York, Cardinal Pa- | celli has been a guest of Mrs. Nich- olas F. Brady at Inisfada, he: estate in Manhasset, Long Island. Mrs. Brady is the only woman ever to receive | an honorary degree from Georgetown University. She has also given the | | college library many rare first edi- | tions, including the original manu- | script of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. | | She will be unable, however, to at- | tend Thursday's ceremony, honoring Cardinal Pacelli. ‘The academic ceremony at George- town will be brief but colorful. Dr. | O'Leary will make an address of wel- come, Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, 8. J., chancellor, will read the university's charter, and Peter J. Brennan of Win- netka, Ill. student president of The Yard, will welcome the papal secre- tary of state in Latin. Cardinal Pa- celli is expected to make a brief reply after the president of the university confers the degree. . Spain (Continued From First Page.) warned the czituation was “grave,” and newspapers blazoned: “Danger at the city gates will mean the shooting of 100,000 workers,” President Azana will stay in Catalan “indefinitely,” his spokesman said. The government, claiming it d | repulsed attacks on Aranjuez and had | | conducted a victorious counter-as- sault due west of the capital (the Fas- cists denied this), injected a new note of international accusation. | Through the Socialist newspaper Claridad, it asserted 2,500 tons of mu- nitions had come to the Fascists, | through Portugal, from Nazi-domi- | nated Danzig and the Polish port of | Gdynia. Britain Presses for Reply. Worried lest Russia bolt the “hands- off-Spain” agreement and harried by a Laborite demand for immediate con- vocation of Parliament to debate Spanish neutrality, Great Britain pressed Germany, Italy and Port- | ugal to reply to charges they have | meddled in Spain. | Informed sources said merely that the government was “concerned a the delay” on the part of the author- itarian states, but it was learned that | Lord Plymouth, chairman of the Non- intervention Committee, had taken oc- | casion to confer with representatives of the three countries. So far, no date had been set for the next meeting of the committee, | despite growing Soviet-Russian irrita- tion. However, it. was believed Lord Plymouth would convene the body this week if the German, Italian and Port- uguese replies were forthcoming. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was expected to refer the labor demand to his cabinet. Island Reported Taken. At Lagos, Portugal, the Spanish Island of Fernando Po, off the Niger- ian coast, was reported in the hands of insurgents. Fascists were reported to have taken over the civil admin- istration and to have set up a pro- visional government, in which African inhabitants held office.

BY WALLACE R. DEUEL. By Radio to The Star. BERLIN, Germany, October 20.— Germany had a new economic dicta- tor today, Col. Gen. Hermann Goer- ing, whom Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler now has invested with full responsi- bility and full power for carrying out a four-year plan to make Ger- many as independent- as possible of foreign raw materials. Gen. Goering has received sweep- ing authority. In the words of the official announcement of his appoint- ment, he “will take all necessary measures for the fulfillment of the task entrusted to him and also have the right to issue legally binding ordi- nances and general administrative reg- ulations. He is authorized to confer with and give orders to all political authorities, including the highest na- tional officials, and to all offices of the Nazi party, their organizations and “their associated societies. This new step is another victory for the party radicals. Not that Gen. Goering Is & radical, economically speaking, because he is not. But he is a Nazi and the four-year plan is in itself a radical plan supported by the party left-wingers and it calls for the outlay, forced if necessary, of enor- mous amounts of capital which can come only from big industry and big banks. Outline Drafted by Keppler. ‘The broad outlines of the plan itself have been drawn up by Wil- helm Keppler, Hitler's personal ad- viser on economic questions and de- cidedly a left-winger. From being dictator of national economy. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, presi- dent of the Reichsbank and economics minister, now clearly has become “vice dictator,” an infinitely less im- portant post, but perhaps for that very reason a considerably more comfor able one. He will continue to plav a leading part in German economic af- fairs, but no longer the leading part. The masses of the German people paid and are still paying for H tlers first “four-year plan.” They paid for it essentially in terms of a low- | ered standard of living. The masses are now paying almost all they can be expected to pay for some time to come. The classes will pay for the second four-year plan. Gen. Goering is the man to make them do it. In putting this new pian into effect Gen. Goering probably will use to a large extent the same general te. ! nique he already has employed sev- | eral times in his capacity of dictator of German currency and raw mate- rial problems. He will call together the heads of industries connected | with the production of each commod- ity and serve notice on them that they must produce a given amourt by a given time, and find the capital and agree on the methods for doing so— | and report their progress to him by a | certain deadline. He has just given the artificial| gasoline industry a taste of his| methods. Research chemists employed by one company perfected a new process by which gasoline could be produced at a cost of 15 or 16 per liter instead of 25 pfennigs per liter which it was costing the industry by its old processes. Gen. Goering informed the entire industry | that it must begin using the new pro- | cess at once. Spokesmen replied that they needed at least six months o acquire new equipment, finance and change over | and begin producing by the cheaper | method. “I am not interested in walting six months nor in your reasons | for wanting to do 50.” said Gen. Goer- ing. “You will begin using the new done so. (Copyright, 1936,) Mrs. Simpson (Continued From First Page.) as one who frequently drives for King Edward.

Mrs. Simpson Is Not Expected to Take Stand at Ipswich, v the Associatea Press. IPSWICH, England, October 20.— Sometime before tea-time one week from today, Mrs. Ernest Simpson, American-born friend of bachelor King Edward, will tell a bewigged magistrate details of her husband's alleged misconduct. The merry-eyed former Baltimore debutante, seeking her freedom after eight years of marriage to a London shipping broker, probanly will not ap- pear in the court room until the third day of the Ipswich assizes. Nor will she take the stand, it was learned, “before 2:15 p.m.” Her attorney might ask that the dase be tried during any lull in court business, but such is considered un- likely. For one thing, business is brisk. For another, it would mean the so- cial Mrs. Simpson would have to sit waiting her turn on a hard bench in the court room or remain in a near- by antercom throughout the three- day assizes.

Protest against construction of the plant has come from several sources Secretary of Interior Ickes has called attention of the Commissioners to | the presence of a low-cost housing | project on Ridge road. half a mile from the abattoir site; Frederic A. De- lano, head of the American Civic As- sociation and uncle of President | Roosevelt, objected to the project on behalf of the association. and H. P. Caemmerer, executive secretary of the Fine Arts Commission, has expressed his personal opposition to it. The fine arts body is scheduled to con- sider it at its meeting Friday. Some time ago the commission went on rec- | ord as of the belief that no slaughter house should be permitted in the | Greater Washington area. In its suit yesterday, the packing house contended the refusal of Oeh- mann to authorize a permit for erec- tion of the structure was illegal and unreasonable. The court s told the nspector was about to grant the per- mit when “for some unknown reason | one or more of the District Commis- sioners™ requested that action be de- ferred. The plaintiff said it owned the | premises at 3737 Benning road since 11887 and operated an abattoir there until 1933, when fire damaged part of the building. Since then, a resident engineer has been kept on the prem- ises at considerable expense to care for the “complicated” machinery, it was stated. Recently, architect's plans for re- building the plant were submitted to | the Bureau of Animal Industry, which | approved them, the court was told. ‘The approval of the District Health Department and all other necessary agencies also has been obtained, the | suit stated. | No new reasons for opposing the | abattoir can exist, it was asserted, | since the proposed building will be no larger than the old one, nor its opera- | tion different in any , except that | the machinery used will be more mod- | ern and efficient. | On September 3 the firm filed plans | with the building inspector, and eight | days later obtained a permit for the | necessary excavation. On October 1 |a permit for the footing was issued and October 5 the foundations permit was authorized. The foundations now are being completed and will be en- tirely finished in five days, the suit declared. Asserting hundreds of residents of Benning would be given employment if the abattoir at 3737 Benning road northeast is reopened, the Benning Citizens' Association last night went on record as favoring granting of a permit to rebuild the slaughter house. At a special meeting called by Presi- dent Frank James to consider this | matter, the assoclation adopted a | resolution which said reopening of | the plant would not only afford em- ployment, but would tend to raise the value of property and enlarge the community. The citizen's association’s resolu- | tion declared that “as citizens of this district in which the abattoir is lo- cated, we are the most vitally con- cerned, and we have no complaints | against the plant.” CLEGG ARRANGES G.
