IDEALS OF ROTARY TOLD BY MANIER International President Ad- dresses Luncheon Attended by Diplomats. In the presence of diplomats from #1 nations, Will R. Manier, jr, of Nashville, Tenn., president of Rotary International, yesterday told the “Washington Rotary Club at the Wil- lard Hotel, and a world-wide radio Budience, that the ideals of the or- ganization were working practically toward establishment of better inter- | national peace. Tracing the growth of Rotary from its beginning 32 years ago, to its in- understanding and world ternational scope today, Manier said | that 4,142 Rotary Clubs in 82 coun- tries of the world are spending annu- ally through their international or- ganization, clubs, and gatherings, be- tween $15,000,000 and $16,000,000. ‘These groups of men, banded to- gether for service to their community, to their business, to society, and to umderstanding throughout the world, | the speaker said, were having a defi- Rite bearing on efforts to preserve in- | ternational peace. He told how such | clubs help men to know each other, | generate “good will,” which ne char- | acterized as the “basis for enduring peace.” In Europe, he said, Eboury; committees meet every three monthsl at border cities, to help cement| friendship between the nations, and discuss possible sources of misunder- | standing, to increase amity. Understanding Encouraged. Specifically he outlined the fourth aim of Rotary to “encourage and foster advancement of international understanding, good will and peace.” He touched also on the other aims, of the development of personal ac-| quaintance as a means of service.“ promotion of high ethical standards | in business and profession, and the application of the ideal of service to personal business &nd eommumtyI life. Rotary had helped improve modem} public speaking, he said, by promot-| g ing a new style of public address, with | less words, less gestures, more ideas, and more terminal facilities. The club also had popularized community singing, he said. Dr. Charles T. Warner, president of the club, presided. The Interna- tional Service Committee of the club, James Sharp, chairman, had charge of the meeting, and community sing- ing was led by Harry Somerville and George O’Connor. Members of the diplomatic corps were seated at a huge head table| which ran around three sides of the big ball room of the hotel. They were introduced by Dr. Warner. Such a meeting itself, he said, promoted the idea of the club for good will and understanding among the nations of the earth. 4 | Diplomats Attending.

SHAWNEETOWN, IIl, February 25.—Shawneetown, the State’s oldest city, may go the way of Kaskaskia, its historical predecessor. Tired of the destructive forces of recurring floods, Shawneetown, its buildings and homes in ruins, was considering calling it quits—just as Kaskaskia did in the last century— and move several miles from the Ohio | River. Kaskaskia, until it virtually was | washed away by repeated floods, was | the first capital of Ilinois, and the only thriving community in the State older than Shawneetown. The old town's future seemed bright in 1825 when Gov. Edward Coles called it “the commercial queen of the West” in a welcome to Lafay- ette. But the mighty Mississippi River’s brimming waters spilled over most of the town in 1844. Subsequent en- croachments destroyed most of what remained of the site except a few his- torical landmarks. The population drifted. Now Shawneetown faces the prob- Jem of retreating or suffering a sim- {lar fate. A legislative committee headed by Lieut. Gov. John Stell planned to meet NORFOLK AND POINTS souTH THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1937.

SNOW HILL, Md., February 25.— Associate Judge James M. Crocket | withheld decision on the petition of Mrs. Jeannette B. Trader to prohibit all but her counsel from conferring with her on details of the fatal shoot- ing of her husband, Clarence J. Trader. The petition was flled by her attor- neys, Godfrey Child and John L. Sanford, jr. Mrs. Trader is in the Worcester County Jail here, awaiting trial on an indictment charging first- degree murder. The trial is scheduled for next month. Visited Against Wishes. The petition asserted she was visited against her wishes by investigators during her confinement to the jail. It specifically asked Judge Crocket for & court order to prohibit the State’s at- torney, members of the State police and the sheriff from questioning her. The request alleged Officer John J. Cassidy of the State police offered to bring her some liquor in her cell and Sergt. Marlin Brubaker, also of the | state police, made “several threatening and abusive remarks” to her. Mrs. Trader was indicted for mur- der following the death of her huse band, operator of the Stockton Elec- tric Co., of a bullet wound on the night of January 14. She claimed shortly after the shooting that Trader kilied himself. Offer Is Refused. | The petition stated that on or about | February 10, Officer Cassidy, “fully cognizant” of the fact that her at- torneys were out of the State, entered | the jail and, “acting like a member of | the fifteenth century star chamber,” | told the prisoner: “We have the goods on you. We are going to hang you and you had better admit your guilt and it will go easier with you.” After Mrs. Trader protested her in- nocence of the charge, the petition quoted Cassidy as replying: “You think it over and tonight I will re- turn and bring you some liquor.” It added she refused the offer and warned the officer it would “cost him his job” if he brought liquor into the Jjail. o William A.
