ADMR. STANDLEY 200 Present When Plaque Is Presented During Farewell Party. A plaque, with the inscription, “With All Good Wishes From All Hands,” was presented at a farewell party last night to Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, who hauls down his flag as the Navy’s senior of- ficer tomorrow night, when he is placed on the retired list at the age of 64 years. The affair, attended by some 200 senior Navy and Marine Corps officers on duty in Washington, and was held at the Army-Navy Country Club. . | ‘The toastmaster, Rear Admiral| Adolphus Andrews, chief of the Bu- reau of Navigation, Navy Department, brought the felicitations and good wishes of President Roosevelt to the, distinguished guest. Secretary Claude | A. Swanson, who was not able to at- | tend, sent his congratulations and best ‘wishes. High praise for Admiral Standley| for his work on the limitation of arm- | aments conferences “in bringing home a treaty in which he lost no ships, but. one under which we can build our‘ Navy to meet the needs of this Na- tion,” was given by Admiral Andrews. He said the regime of Admiral Stand- | ley marks the rebirth of a new Navy, &3 construction was “in the doldrums” before he took office as chief of naval operations. Admiral Standley's prow- ess as a diplomat and leader of men was accentuated during the address of the chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Admiral Standley responded, briefly, and thanked the officers for their co- operation in the upbuiiding of the service. ‘The plaque, which will be a lasting memento of last night's gathering, bears Admiral Standley's name and ! shows signal flags denoting ‘“Cease present exercise” and “well done,” the | traditional Navy salutation of praise. ‘The flag of a full admiral is shown on the plaque, as is a centerpiece in- | scribed, “What is ‘worthy carries the | palm.” Yesterday afternoon Admiral Stand- ley called in the newspaper men who “cover” pressed his thanks for the co-opera- tion he has received and bade them farewell. He will be succeeded Friday morning by Admiral William D. the Navy Department, ex- | Admiral William D. Leahy. Rear Admiral William H.

RECREATION CENTER URGED IN BENNING Citizens’ Association Opposes In-| crease in Price of Street Car Passes. Resolutions advocating establish- ment of a recreation center in . the | Benning section and opposing any in- crease in the price of street car passes were adopted last night by the Ben- ning Citizens’ Association. Appointment of a committee to in- ! vestigate the recreation center project and seek P. W. A. funds for is de- velopment was called for in one reso- ' lution. : “The children in Benning have never had a proper place in which to play,” said Frank E. James, presi- dent of the association. “We in this section feel that the situation is be- coming acute. A recreation center not only would be a great aid in making good citizens. but would alleviate the minds of the parents of the fear that their children are play- ing in the streets.” | The association indorsed the reso- lution of the Chevy Chase Citizens' i Association which opposed the action | of the Federation of Citizens’ Asso- ciations in passing important rewlu-‘ tions without first referring them back | to the various associations for ap- proval. : POCE RO Land Fertility Depleted.

After a day’s postponement on ac- count of a bad cold, Jackie Comer, 10, of Willlamstown, Mass., was ready to- day for his first visit to the White House, where his great-grandfather once lived as President. Jackie was all set for a special trip to the Executive Mansion when he had to go to bed yesterday at the home of his grandfather, Dr. Harry A. Garfield, son of the late President James A. Garfield, at 1529 New Hamp- shire avenue. He took his troubles cheerfully—one reason being that turkey stayed on his sick bed diet— and staged a quick recovery. Dr. Garfield, president emeritus of Williams College, said he would “take Jackie to tive White House today.” Jackie is the only grandchild of Dr. Garfield, who has not seen the beau- tiful rooms and halls once occupied by his great-grandfather.

United States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett was informed by" the State Department that the Japanese govern- ment has refused to execute papers calling for questioning of two Jap- anese naval officers with whom Farns- worth is alleged to have conspired. Authority to: examine the two Jap- anese was obtained from the courts by Farnsworth’s attorneys and it was thought at the time the move would delay the trial indefinitely, since the Japanese officers are in Japan. The imperial Japanese government informed the State Department, how- ever, that Japanese law forbids it to compel officers of its army or navy to answer such interrogators. The ques- tions proposed concerned allegations made in the indictment of the former naval officer. Farnsworth was charged with con- spiring with Yosiyuki Itimiya and to furnish the Japanese government confidential the national defense. Farnsworth is being held in the District Jail.
