BACKGROUND— Kansas State Censor Board re- cently ordered elimination of short speech by Senator Wheeler from news reel, holding remarks were immaterial. Alf M. Landon, 1936 G. O. P. Republican presidential nominee, was among protestants. The board since restored the speech. By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., May 1.—A eharge that Postmaster General James A. Farley was to blame for censorship {of & film containing remarks against President Roosevelt's Supreme Court program was left today with the peo- ple of Kansas by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana Democrat. Last night in an address here, S8en- ator Wheeler said: “I wasn't exactly sure whether I'd be welcome if I came out here to dis- cuss a proposal which the Board of Censors, on the order of Jim Farley, had decreed you should not hear. I thought some one might try to stop my speech.” “You elected a Democratic Governor out here last Fall for the first time in some years,” Wheeler noted. “Apparently it went to their heads and they seem to have adopted a rule not to let anybody disagree with Far- ley or the administration in Wash- ington.” Gov. Waiter A. Huxman, Landon’s successor, ordered the re-examination which resulted in reinstatement of Wheeler’s remarks. Toothache Is Fire Alarm. Mrs. Ellen M. Hart escaped with slight burns from her blazing cottage at Cockfield, near Bury 8t. Edmunds, England, after being warned by her son, who was wakened by a tooth- ache. Br the Assoclated Press. STOOPING OAK, Tenn., May 1.— A fruit-jar full of choice cut-up steak and a pot of greens boiled at the cabin home of Jackson Whitlow today while the emaciated religious faster pre- pared for his first “real meal” in 52 days. He was ready to eat, but none eould say how his weakened body would react to the food doctors have warned may prove fatal unless carefully taken. Whitlow broke his fast yesterday morning by drinking a half-cup of what he said was grape juice. The neighbors who brought it claimed it was elderberry wine. The 45-year-old Cumberland Moun- tain fur-trapper said he began the fast last March 10 “at the call of the Lord.” “My fast is over. My trial i ended. I know God is with me and I am not afraid,” Whitlow said when he set his wife, Florence, to boiling the greens for “pot liquor” and cutting the juicy steak into bits for beef broth. “Wila salate,” a mountain delicacy, similar A Steak and Greens First Meal For Tennessee 52-Day Faster Clicking Mugs Welcome Beer Back to Kansas 3.2 Beverage Legal Again After 56 Years’ Absence. By the Assoctated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, May 1.—Clicking mugs and gay shouts of “Prosit” wel- comed legal beer back to Kansas to- day after a statutory absence of 56| years from the Btate where Carry | Nation's hatchet once hacked saloons. | The 32 beverage now legalized has been sold in many cities, along with more potent varieties since the Na- tion deserted prohibition, but it was without benefit of law—also without | benefit to State coffers. Prosecutors strove in vain to find Juries which would hold the beverage intoxicating. Today while the thirsty quaffed the first legal beer since May 1, 1881, the State which long was known as “bone dry” had not only a new source of revenue but of law suits as well. At- torney General Clarence V. Beck esti- mated as many as 50 may be necessary to decide all questions. One suit pending in Ottawa, Kans, chal- lenges the right to zone against sale within 300 feet of a church, thus cutting off a drug store’s business. Holders of 8,000 Federal malt bev- erage permits took inventories of stocks upon which the State requires payment of 5 cents a gallon in taxes. The State also collects $300 a year from wholesale distributors. Outside distributors must establish branches in Kansas {f they are to operate. GO TO DANCE FESTIVAL Twelve Washingtonians Join in New York Fete. Twelve dancers from the Thomson Community Center will represent Washington at the English folk dance festival in New York today.

Happy, but woefully weak, Whitlow declared: “I received a sweet mes- sage from the Lord. He told me to abstain from water and drink a little wine for the stomach’s sake. I un- derstand that wine is the fruit of the vine and not a fermented or alcoholic beverage. I absolutely did not drink any wine and will not.” Although Whitlow will not accept medical advice because of a religious belief, he looked forward today to another of the periodic visits from Dr. R. E. Standifer of Dunlap, 10 miles below here, who has examined him four times since April 18. On Dr. Standifer's last visit, two days ago, the physician reported Whitlow weighed only 93 pounds. His normal weight is 137. Dr. Standifer said that Whitlow should eat under “careful medical supervision” when he resumed taking food. The doctor felt, however, that Whitlow would not take such advice and said that in such an event, he probably would be unable to assimi- Iate the food “and would pess out.” CLUBWOMEN HIT FOR COURT STAND Federation Head Disap- pointed Over Failure to Get Post, Is Charge. BY the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla., May 1.—Disapproval of the President’s Supreme Court plan by the Council of the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs quickly drew | heated replies today from Democratic officials of the host State. The Tulsa World said several party leaders voiced ‘“charges that the dis- loyalty of Mrs. Roberta Campbell Law- son, president of the clubwomen, to the Democratic party was prompted by her disappointment in not getting the post of Minister to Denmark."” * Mrs. Lawson laughed today over the charges of the leaders, “That's a scream!” she said. “You just say that Mrs never was a candidate for that post Mrs. Lawson is a candidate for no political position. Mrs. Lawson pre- fers America and non-partisan posi- tions where she can work for Ameri- cans and American ideals. “I am not a candidate for any political office.” She declared there was nothing partisan in the vote of the council meeting of the general federation against the President's court plan. Mrs. John Catlett, national Demo- cratic committeewoman for OklaHoma, declared the council vote of 285 to 66 against the plan was “an insult to Oklahoma Democrats who were called on to use their influence in arranging the program for the council.” She insisted that “hand-picked dele- gates brought down here to Oklahoma to take a slap at the President cer- tainly don't represent an accurate pic- ture of the position of 6,000,000 club- women.” A report was circulated here that a Democratic meeting at Oklahoma City Monday would consider a resolution expressing confidence in the President and disapproval of the clubwomen’s action. At Oklahoma City, Sam Battles, Democratic State chairman, said he did not know of any move for such a resolution but “if the court plan comes up, however, I'm sure the Okla- homa State Democratic organization will indorse it.” Scott Ferris, State Democratic com- mitteeman, said “there's no doubt in my mind that Oklahoma Democrats are behind the court plan.” INJURED AMERICAN FLYERS NOT RESCUED 400 Persons Try to Reach Crashed Plane in Venezuelan Jungle. By the Assoclated Press. ‘The State Department has received word from Venezuela that two Ameri- cans injured in the crash of a plane in a Venezuelan jungle on April 23 had not been rescued up to noon yes- terday. Previous reports indicated they had been rescued. Meredith Nicholson, American Min- ister to Caracas, cabled the depart- ment that 400 persons, aided by gov- ernment aircraft, still were trying to reach the injured men a week after the accident. The men are Frederic D. Grab of Chicago, commercial attache of the American Legation at Caracas, and William Armstrong Perry, a geologist of Westport, Conn. Lawson | 10y (G | OATBANQUE HONDRDR AR Nine Speakers Review Achievement of G. W. U. Head in 10 Years. All elements of George Washington University life last night paid tribute to President Cloyd Heck Marvin for the 10 years of physical and intel- lectual growth of the university under his leadership. More than 1,000 alumni, under- graduates, faculty members, trustees, representatives of the Lady Managers of the Hospital, the Columbian Women, the Faculty Women's Club and friends filled the spacious Mayflower ball room and overflowed into the bal- conies to toast the energetic, gracious V esterner who was brought here a decade ago to take over the admin- istration of the institution. Seated in the center of the long table lined with educational and other dignitaries, Dr. Marvin, nearly hid- den behind a huge basket of flowers, heard nine speakers laud his achievements as university execu- tive and received from Secretary Harry Davis of the Board of Trustees, a gold, inscribed watch as a token of appreciation Presentation of Watch. In presenting the watch to Dr. Marvin, Mr. Davis alluded to the| sponsors’ committee as representing | the “university family,” and referred | to the wide recognition of Dr. Mar- | vin's high ideals, his culture and learn- ing and his “unmitigating efforts" in behalf of the university. He em- phasized the words ‘“admiration,” “appreciation” and “affection” con- tained in the inscription and at the conclusion of his brief presentation address called for a standing toast, to which the gathering responded Dr. Marvin was also given a charm and made honorary member of the University Glee Club, which, with the University Orchestra, provided the entertainment of the evening Mrs. Marvin was given a basket of flowers by the girls of the glee club, | Deeply affected, Dr. Marvin was somewhat at a loss as to what to | say. “What would you say if you were I?” he wanted to know. With Robert V. Fleming, president | of the Riggs Bank, presiding as toast- | master, Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo, pastor of the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, New York, and principal speaker on the program, spoke feel- ingly of “The University Unmasked and Unafraid.” University for Truth. Such a university will teach the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, will never compromise with good will nor with character, he declared. “The university is Castle with every man the pastor insisted a place where people in harmony together.” He expressed the hope that George Washington would some day have a school of re- ligion in addition to its other com- ponents to make it a “‘complete” uni- versity Of Dr. Marvin, Dr. Sizoo, speaking with the attractive trace of accent so | familiar to Washington audiences, said: | “He is a man of absorbing passion | and compassion—passion for the uni- versity and compassion for humanity.” | The speaker made the trip down from | New York to do honor to his old friend i Taking over the chair from Charles S. Baker, president of the George Washington Alumni Association, earlier in the evening Toastmaster | Fleming had declared Washington for- | tunate to have such a leader as Dr. | Marvin, calling attention to the “de- votion, self-sacrifice and tireless en- ergy” represented by his achievement. Dean Henry Gratton Doyle of Co- | lumbian College of the universi | made the opening address of the eve- ning. Describing the job of university | president as “no bed of roses” and as | “being educational nursemaid to & swarm of peculiarly irascible bees he said Dr. Marvin had assumed con- trol at & very critical time. | No one will say he has not made | | mistakes, for that would be saying that | he is not lovably human, but he has | worked with us and for us and has | | made us financially secure,” the dean | asserted. The president has shown great | moral courage in dealing with con- | tending pressure groups, he con- | tinued, pledging faculty support and co-operation. Dean Doyle then introduced Prof. Charles S. Collier, who read a testi- monial to the executive, drawn up in the form of a citation for meritorious | service as a sincere expression of good will from members of the fac- ulty. The language described Marvin as a “builder of university unity” and a “trustee of material resources.” Benefit to Students. Representing the student body, Ross Pope, president of the Student Coun- cil, and son of the Senator from Idaho, extended congratulations. Of all the groups to benefit from the Marvin administration, he said, the student body certainly benefited most. Fleming then introduced Miss May P. Bradshaw, principal of Roosevelt | High School, who spoke on secondary schools and the university. The raised academic standards in George Wash- ington during the past decade have materially raised the teaching level in the District schools, she said. She cited the close tie between the uni- versity and the schools through schol- arships. The next two speakers revealed through statistics the concrete achieve- ment. of the president. Alfred Henry Lawson, chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Lands, enumerated many new build- ings erected since Marvin's arrival. In 1927 the university had 156,000 square feet of land; now it has 290,- 000, he declared. The real estate value hes increased 89 per cent over what it was 10 years ago, he added, which is “tangible evidence of the wisdom and devotion of Dr. Marvin.” Charles Carroll Glover, jr., chair- man of the Financial Committee, pointed out that the university assets, totaling about $6,000,000, have in- creased more than $3,000,000 in the last decade, while the liabilities went up only $117,000. This, he felt, was eloquent tribute to the president. University’s National Obligations. The university has national obliga- tions ‘as well as local, Dr. Charles R. Mann of the American Council of Education asserted, and it has done its task well. Dr. Marvin has served on the American Council, he said, and has brought national recognition to the university. Still further tribute was paid the educator by Mrs. Joshua Evans, jr., a trustee. ‘“He has always pulled a laboring oar and bent his back to any burden that presented itself,” she said. “I am proud to have been & member of the Board of Trustees that brought Dr. Marvin to the university. not a Morro for himself,” “It is, rather, learn to live SATURDAY, MAY His supreme achievement, she fe! | has been 1937 was the enrichment of the lives of the students which she considered far more important than endowments. As final speaker on the program, Dr. Marvin made his response. The university must serve the people and serve well, he declared, adding simply that “any laurel wreath must be divided among all of us.” Gathering of Students. Earlier in the evening a group of slightly more than 100 students gathered in Corcoran Hall and heard the president’s praises sung by Baker, representing the alumni, Dean Doyle, speaking for the faculty, and William Rochelle, president-elect ot the Stu- dent Council. Robert Doolin, presi- dent of the George Washington Stu- dent Union, presided. Manifestly touched, Dr. Marvin sat on the platform and heard his achieve- ments at the university recited to the enthusiastic audience in terms of motive, statistics and personality. He grinned as Doolin referred to his 10- year ‘reign” at the university and steadfastly regarded the toe of his shoe as Baker declared that Marvin's leadership had made the university a great institution. “If George Washington had not been inaugurated President of the United States, there probably would have been no George Washington Univer- sity,” the alumni president said. “If Dr. Marvin had not been made presi- dent of the university 10 years ago, the university would not be what it is today. He is motivatec not by am- bition, but by a close synonym—aspi- ration.” Cites Figures of Growth, Calling upon figures, Rochelle re- vealed the progress of the institution under Dr. Marvin by a little simple arithmetic “In 1926 the university had an enrollment of 7,000, now it is 8,000,” he declared. “At that time we had an endowment of something over $800,000, now it is $2,500,000. We have had a 74 per cent increase in faculty membership since then, with 154 per cent more Ph. D.'s.” Figures, however, cannot show the | increased interest among the student body in the university, he continued. “We look to the past and present with pride and to the future with assurance,” he concluded, “and I am sure I am speaking for the entire student body when I say we will lend Dr. Marvin our complete co- operation.” . Dean Doyle congratulated Dr. Mar- vin on & wonderful 10 years, speaking as one who knew the university before and after the Marvin administration. Calling the honor guest a “great executive.” he emphasized the “friendly phase” of the president’s leadership. “The facuity feels it is enlisted under one banner in the pursuance of a great ideal,” he declared. The president, again last to speak, feelingly declared that the university “my life for 10 years.” “We have a single ideal—the free- dom to develop ourselves to the maxi- mum capacity—and hut a single method—to do everything extraordi- narily well.” he said. “Such tradi- tions are hard to maintain and there- fore very worth while.” Appropriation (Continued From First Page.) not be cut arbitrarily, comprise so large a part of the $7,500,000,000 budget for next year, fiscal experts are becoming more convinced that personnel is likely to bear a substan- tial part of a percentage cut in the remainder. Exemption of fixed charges leaves less than $4,000.000,000 to which the percentage slash could apply. Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, expressed fear early in the week that salaries would be cut. Ad- vocates of the percentage theory promptly disclaimed any intention of affecting salary rates, but admitted | the number of employes might have | + | to be reduced in some departments to | make the percentage saving effective. Army Total Up $25,037.589. As it left the House the Army time measure for purely military pur- poses. Although the House trimmed it $358.079 below the budget total it is still $25,037.598 above the strictly military sum for the cur- rent year, Formerly, rivers and harbors work and other non-military engineering projects were made a part of the War Department bill, but this year the House decided to handle those items as a separate bill. Representative Taber, Republican, of New York, moved to recommit the Army bill with instructions to the committee to take off 10 per cent, but the House said “no” with- out a record vote. Taber had made a similar move on the agricultural bill last week, at which time it was made known that any percentage pro- gram will be tackled as @ yeneral proposition later. The rivers and harbors, Interior Department and unemployment relief funds for next year constitute the major appropriation bills remaining to come before the House. When the $1,251,250 deficiency reso- lution to meet special needs of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Railroad Retirement Board and several other bureaus cdme up in the House for action on the Senate’s 25 per cent reduction, declared acceptance of the amendments would “close up two or three important bureaus of the Gove ernment for the remainder of the present fiscal year.” Woodrum said that after the Budget Bureau and the House had cut the deficiency resolution, the other branch, “in a moment of economy hysteria,” gave it another 25 per cent “whack right down the line.” Calls for Logical Action. The Virginian said he is for rigid economy and the discontinuance of unnecessary o erations, “but do not let us get emotional, hysterical and dramatic; let us go at the thing in a logical, orderly way.” The Army bill contemplates an in- crease of 6,000 in the average num- ber of enlisted men next year, from 156,000 to 162,000. The budget esti- mate allowed for 165,000 Of local interest is an item of $746,- 000 for continuing development of the new Bolling Field. The next major development in the framing of next year’s budget will be the reporting of the agricvltural sup- ply bill from the Senate Committee, probably within a week. Meanwhile, House and Senate con- ferees are meeting today to adjust differences in the Treasury-Post Office bill, which passed several weeks ago. Falls on Concrete, Lives. HOUSTON, Tex.

BACKGROUND— Dissolution of the last Japanese Parliament was preceded by charges that Premier Hayashi fa- vored army domination of govern- ment. Election of hostile majority to new Diet likely to continue the deadlock. Army leaders want political parties abolished, charg- ing them with interference with national defense. Two parties, Minseito and Seiyukai, united Jorces in current election in at- tempt to increase the 375 seats they controlled in last Diet out of total of 466. BY the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 1—Japan's two major political parties, Minseito and Seiyukai, both opposing Premier Senjuro Hayashi’s government, regis- tered sweeping victories today in early returns from the most orderly election in history. Voting was light. Not a single government candidate was elected to the House of Repre- sentatives in early returns from four | large cities—Fukushima, Wakamatsu, | Kainan and Matsue. Whatever the outcome, the govern- ment of Premier Hayashi has an- nounced it would retain power and some observers believed political | parties were doomed if the government | does not find some compromise system | for working with the new Parliament, Proletarian candidates made striking gains, particularly in Tokio, where seven seats were filled by candidates of the Social Masses party. Six Befyukai and two Minseito can~ didates were victorious in Tokio. Returns tabulated at 4 p.m. showed that out of 466 seats in the Lower House, Minseito captured 61, Sefyukal, 39; the Social Masses, 18; independ= ents, 5; Showakai (government), 3; Kokumin Domel, 1, and others, 3. In- dications were that the Soeial Masses more than doubled their representa- tion in the Diet. ‘Though the swing left was most pro« nounced in the nation’s capital, pro- letarians also won two seats in Osaka. The Minseito elected six, Selyukal three and the government party, Sho- wakal, one. An unprecedented number of elece tors stayed away from the polls, in some places more than half the quali- fled voters, due largely to the absence of well defined issues and to apathy of the puzzled public.
