CLPPER HEADING FOR WAKE SLAND Kieran Expecting to Be in L New York Four Days B Behind Schedule. BY LEO KIERAN, By Wireless to The Star ON BOARD THE CHINA CLIP- PER, EN ROUTE TO WAKE ISLAND, October 21.—At 6:28 this morning, Capt. Ralph Dahlstrom seudded the China Clipper along the crests of a considerable sea-swell, and, 59 seconds later, the giant airliner slapped against the last crest and vaulted into the air. Within a few seconds, the huge ship banked lazily over the sleepy village of Sumay, Guam, and headed on its course for Wake Island, 1,522 miles away. ¥ My scheduled tour around the world thus is merrily approaching its end. | The half-way mark is well behind and the rest seems all down hill. There has been but one interruption, in the form of a four days' delay at Manila because of a typhoon, and so I ex- pect to be back in New York just four days behind my original sched- ule. The trip has never approached stunt proportions and could be dupli- cated at standard fares by anybody. 18 Persons Are on Board. There are 18 persons aboard, 7 of them being -members of the crew and the others press correspondents. At Manila, I joined the correspondents for the China Clipper’'s return flight to San Francisco, after the wait of four days following my arrival in Manila from Hongkong. The passengers and members of the crew were royally entertained last night by Gov. Benjamin V. Mc- Candlish at Guam. Even before leav- ing the dock, each of us was present- ed with a sample of native handiwork. Later we were guests at a dinner, at which local officials, Comdr. Robert A. Kelly, Capt. Spencer Higgins of the Naval Hospital, Col. A. E. Randall, Lieut. Carl Thieme and their wives welcomed the first passengers on the new ocean airline. We were abed early and up seem- ingly earlier. There were scattered clouds hanging low on the horizon all around, but brilliant 8tars shone di- rectly overhead. After breakfast, a rolling ride in a motorboat to the Clipper, anchored off-shore, gave an Indication of what was to.come. Taxis Through Reefs. Capt. Dahlstrom taxied . carefully through a maze of coral reefs into deeper waters, where a swell that rose more than 15 feet made the 24-ton craft rise and fall like an elevator shuttling up and down in a one-story building. At last, he wheeled the ship, opened the throttles, and, rid- ing the swells like a surfboard rider, headed in-shore, jumping from one to the next but touching each with ever- lightening impact. In 59 seconds the wings finally rose and swung majesti- | cally over the wooded knolls of the Washingt Waysid ’ . Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. ACIDULOUS. RANK P. CARTWRIGHT, re- search authority on lumber, its substitutes, by-products and preservatives, ran into an inci- dent on his recent trip over America which was far removed from.trees or splinters He was climbing upward toward the top floor of one of those skyscraper hotels in an elevator occu- pied by several women. They apparently were in the me- tropolis only for the day and had made the wrong choice of clothes to bring along. Indeed, so busy were they be- moaning the absence of a “vestee” and the floweréd foulard that they were carried past their floor. “And they gave them the vote,” hissed the elevator operator out of the side of his mouth to Mr. Cartwright, who had never realized before how im- portant dress could be to womankind. * x ¥ » FIREPLACE. A fireplace in the yard is a romantic sounding thing, with its suggestion of broiled steaks, gath= erings of one’s friends and the like. That, however, is before you build it. Long before the last brick is placed, the romance is dead, your fingers are lacerated and you have begun to remember the smoky flavor of food so cooked. So says A. Stanley Moreau who has just gone through the fireplace phase of home ownership. Even after the fireplace was built and his wounds had begun to heal, the possibilities of .joyous use dimi- nished when it was realized that wood had to be gathered and a dozen other details managed. So, the Moreau fireplace has be- come just an incinerator, * * x ¥ LAURELS. 'HARLES E.

HEALTH CENTER | APPROVED BY FORUM, Columbia Heights Citizens Also Favor Change in Hours for Firemen. ‘The Citizens’ Forum of Columbia Heights last night approved a health | center for the District and a change in the District firemen’s hours, pro- viding the action necessitated no in- crease in local taxes. Dr, Lyman F. Kebler, chairman of the Forum Public Safety and Health Committee, introduced a motion in- dorsing in principle the idea of a Dis- trict health center. Under present conditions firemen work a 10-hour day shift and 14-hour night shift. The resolution approved proposed that a change be made to provide three shifts of eight hours each. The resolution was adopted at the request of the Bradbury Heights Citizens’ Association. Both resolutions included the tax-increase stipulation. Dr. Kebler and Dr. C. J. Fernald were nominated for president at the meeting in the Powell Junior High School. Other nominations were: Les- ter T. Walter, Oliver E. Foulk and William L. Ford, first vice president; Mrs, C. J. Fernald, second vice presi- dent; Charles S. Easterling, chaplain; William L., Ford, secretary; Sparrel A. Wood, treasurer, and Burd W. Payne and A. M.

Davis Declares It Has No Claim on Any Democrat. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 21.—John W. | Davis, Democratic candidate for Presi- dent in 1924, held today the New Deal “has no just claim, simply because of | party membership, on the support of | any Democrat.” g “Whatever it is or is not, whatever it holds of good or bad.” the attorney | said, “one thing is certain; the New | Deal is not Democratic as the Demo- cratic party has hitherto emplcyed: that word.” He asserted there was only one course open to the voter “who still holds to the creed of Democratic lib- eralism: To stand up, speak up and on election day take his judgment and | his conscience with him into the pol- | ling place and make his protest good.” | Davis' first address of the campaign | was broadcast nationally last night un- | der the sponsorship of the National | Jeffersonian Democrats. Davis explained that he spoke be- | cause his position as a former head of | his party’s national ticket made it im- | possible for him to remain “entirely silent.” | ‘The former nominee contended the | record of the Roosevelt administration | shows “the most callous disregard of | party principles, platform promises and | personal pledges in all the history of | American politics.” He protested especially against laws | ‘passed in violation of constitutional | provisions,” the “surrender” by Con- gress of its powers to the President; the appropriation of billions of dollul! “with a carefree hand,” with the dis- | posal of the funds placed at the di cretion of the Executive; a “swollen” public pay roll, a “mounting burden” of taxation, Pederal entry into private enterprise and “persistent and unre- mitting” effort to regiment the social | and economic life of the Nation. | “Every legitimate reform can be wrought out within the structure of the Constitution by the machinery it ' provides,” Davis said. “But the very life of the Nation demands that the | Constitution shall be obeyed. It has | not been obsyed, either in letter or in | spirit, during the last three years. It will never be obeyed by the two men who seek, in pursuit of greater power and glory, to centralize in their over the economic, industrial social life of the continent.” Davis also spoke against the principle of “taxation to encourage a wider dis- tribution of wealth.” This, he held, “is as foreign an intruder into the body of democratic or American doctrine as the expropriation of all property under a communistic regime.

Hammering home his attack upon “abuse of the power of Government.” Landon used his right fist in choppy gestures as he said, “All business mer under the Blue Eagle, were faced with arbitrary enforcements of arbitrary interpretations of arbitrary rules— rules not made by Congress, but oy some appointed subordinate sitting at & desk in Washington, and fumbling with the business of the country.” “One way of stamping out unfair trade practices and monopoly was pointed by Justice Cardozo in his con- curring opinion of the N. R. A. de-' cision of the Supreme Court,” Landon continued. “The learned justice said: ‘If codes of fair competition are codes elimt- nating “unfair” methods of competi- tion ascertained upon inquiry to pre- vail in one industry or another, there is no unlawful delegation of legislative functions when the President is di- rected to inquire into such practices and denounce them when discovered. For many years a like power has been committed to the Federal Trade Com- mission with the approval of this court 1n a long series of decisions.’ " Turning to Federal spending, the Republican leader declared “the Chief Executive” has not hesitated to use the power given by “eight times as much discretionary spending power as was given to all of his predecessors together in 143 years of our history.” “There is unmistakable evidence” Landon asserted, “that these vast funds have been used to force Con- | gressmen and Senators to support administration measures,” “to prevent | criticism by officials and representa. tives of local communities” and “ | prevent freedom of choice at the polls.” “Nothing can be more shameful than the way some of these Federal funds have been distributed,” the Kansan said, while the crowd roared, mingling applause and booes. . “Relief funds have been used in an attempt to force our less fortunate fellow citizens to vote for the return | of this administration to power. - Does this undermine our freedom?” Again the crowd roared, “You bet youl’-. life,” “I'll say it does” and “Yes, —_— LINDEMANN ADDRESS CHANGED TO FRIDAY Second Lecture of Series Will Be on “Building a Better Civilization.” Change of date for the address of GREEN PROPOSE PLANFOR SEATTLE Action Follows Failure of Newspaper and Strikers to Reach Terms. B the Assoclated Press. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, today submitted to representatives of the American Newspaper Guild, the Seat- tle Post-Intelligencer and the Seattle Central Labor Body a plan for settle- ment of the strike at the Washington newspaper plant. Terms of the pro- posal were not made public. Green's decision to follow this course was made yesterday after col- lapse of negotiations between Harvey J. Kelley, counsel for the paper, and representatives of the Central Body and the Guild. John P. Frey of the federation pre- sided over the conferences, which were under way simultaneously with & _quarterly session of the Executive Council. The council, concerning it- self principally with preparation of its report to the November conven- tion of the federation, expected to end its session today. No Concessions Offered. After the strike negotiations ended, the Guild issued a statement which said. in part: “The management has refused to make a single concession which would involve any improvement of conditions | over those obtaining prior to, the strike.” Kelley told reporters he had submit- | ted a statement to Frey saying that before the strike, there was no demand for increased wages or a change in working conditions, and that Post- Intelligencer wages were the best in | Seattle. | The guild statement said the man- | agement had refused all offers of arbi- tration. “It has refused to make any satis- | factory guarantee against discrimina- tion,” the guild added. “It has refused not only to recognize the guild, but even to mention it in any agreement, “The management has refused to make any disposal of the cases of Philip Everhardt Armstrong and Frank M.

P AD AWARD WON BY LOGAL STORE {Woodward & Lothrop Is Highest in Selling Power Through Newspapers. The annual Socrates award of | Retail-Ad News, which goes every vear | to the American department store demonstrating the greatest ability “to maintain a high degree of selling power in daily newspaper advertising.” has been won by Woodward & Lothrop, | it was announced today. In recent years Woodward & Lothrop has stood high in the Socrates ratings, but 1936 is the first year the store was placed first, according to James W, Hardey, advertising mana- ger. The honor places the 56-year- old firm ahead of Filene’s of Boston, | Marshall Field's of Chicago and Macy's of New York, which were among the first 10. The award to Woodward & Lothrop was based on the following qualities of its advertising: 1. “More than any other store we know, its advertising is tailor-made to fit the personality of the store and {its city. To create advertising that | mirrors an institution rather than | suggests a market place, is the aim of a good many stores. Few achieve it to the extent that Woodward & | Lothrop do.” Appearance a Factor. 2. Appearance, copy content, illus- | trations and stressing of necessity in appealing to buyers. 3. Advertising “by departments” in the store. 4. Presentation of women’s mer- chandise, with special reference to script headlines. Hardey said the firm sought to keep its advertising at all times on | an interesting, informative and factual | basis, always accurate and with a complete absence of ballyhoo. | “There is still a lot to be done in | improving the standard of advertis- |ing,” Hardey said, “despite progress already ‘made in getting away from | | bold, bald claims in advertising copy.
