CUP DEFENDERS FINALRAGETODAY Three Candidates in Line at Newport for Conclud- ing Event. Br the Associated Press. NEWPORT, R. I, June 9.—The eommittee intrusted with selection of 8 defender of the America's Cup sent all three candidates to the line in a | group today in the concluding race of the opening trial series. The result of a three-cornered sailing contest usually is mnot very conclusive and frequently quite mis- feading. As a rule, two of the three are natural antagonists and they dis- pute the entire course, while the third encounters little opposition to a some- what empty victory. So, it is alto- gether possible more significance will attach to the boat which captures second place than to the winner. Ranger, Harold S. Vanderbilt's new and undefeated defense aspirant, re- turned to the fray with two victories over Gerard B. Lambert's Yankee and | one over Chandler Hovey's Rainbow, | the sloop with which Vanderbilt de- feated T. O. M. Sopwith's British chal- | lenger, Endeavour I, in 1934, In the other two match races, Yankee <|\o\\ed Rainbow the way home The five opening races of the trials | were sailed in very light air, and yes terday's contest, in which Yankee beat | Rainbow, the breeze was measured at | only 2.5 miles per hour at the start. | Unless old Boreas shows a little more liberality this afternoon, the first trials will end with the cup com- mittee learning nothing about the three big sloops in anything stronger than & 12-knot breeze | Both Sopwith's potential challengers, Endeavour I and his new Endeavour II with tuning up already well ad- | vanced, await only his command be- | fore they open trials through which he will name the sloop he will use in his second bid for the cup.

The award for public administra- tion follows the policy of the uni- versity, which is placing emphasis on | the field of public affairs, particularly | through its School of Public Affairs, | where over 1,200 Federal employes\ “in service” training program during the | past year. Five new members were added to the Board of Trustees at the semi nual meeting. The new members are: Bishop Paul B. Kern of the Methodist Episcopal Church South; Gilbert H. Montague, attorney, New York City; John Poole, president of the Federal- American Co.; Dr. G. Ellis Williams, District superintendent of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, and Walter E. Bastian, former president of the Dis- trict Bar Association. The American University develop- ment program campaign went forward today with a luncheon meeting of workers at the Willard Hotel, ad- dressed by Rev. Raphael H.

WEST POINTERS ENROLL ‘Three young men from the Wash- ington area, commissioned second lieu- tenants when they were graduated from West Point this year, have en- rolled for two weeks of study at the War Finance School here from June 14 to 26. They are Alan D. Clark, 1851 Co- lumbia road; Robert C. Gildart, 2d, 1406 Webster street, and James N. Peale, 2219 Albemarle street, Arling- ton, Va.

Brief Science Service. Brief was the Christian Science service read by Mrs. Genevieve Smith, for seven years confidant of the act- ress. The pallbearers escorting the casket to the mausoleum were those with whom Miss Harlow had worked—Clark Gable, Edward J. Mannix, M-G-M ex- ecutive; Hunt Stromberg, producer; Jack Conway and W. S. Van Dyke, directors, and Ray June, camera man. In less than 20 minutes the services were completed. Jeanette MacDonald | opened with the simple song which the glamour girl so often in life had asked to hear—"Indian Love Call.” Miss MacDonald was attired in pink. Canaries Burst Into Song. Two canaries burst into song from | their gilded cages in the flower- smothered chapel. Mrs. Smith read the simple service —David's Psalm, “The Lord Is My Shepherd,” a passage from John, a few words from the key to the Scrip- tures and then spoke a 38-second eulogy “There isn't any one here that| knows Jean but knows the nobility of the soul she posseses.” Nelson Bddy's rich voice sounded the appealing tones of “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life.” Between Powell and Carey Wilson, screen writer, Mrs. Bello slowly emerged from the chapel to their car. Tears were seen behind the dark glasses the usually sauve William Powell wore. He gave vent to his| grief when he sank to the seat of the car beside Jean's mother. The floral tributes were greater than the chapel could contain. Wreaths, blankets and a wealth of gorgeous | blossoms were spread on the lawn out- side the wee kirk. “‘Good Night, Dearest Darling.” The most touching floral tribute of them all was the most simple. It was a single white gardenia. Her favorite flower! On the card attached to it, without signature, was the pathetic acflpt “Good night, my dearest darling.” The coffin was left in its bower of flowers in the chapel. Later it was removed to an adjoining receiving vault, to await the final decision of the mother. > Hers was & life of anomalies, in big things and little. She played hard- boiled sirens—and her mother called her “Baby.” A figure of persistent domestic tragedy, with three marriages | ended in two divorces and a suicide, she was rated universally as a “good | scout” without qualification based on marital snarls. She called herself | Hollywood's worst actress and had few | rivals at the box office. Reputedly worth & million dollars, she drove her own automobile and answered her own telephone.

TARIFF: INCREASES URGED AT HEARING Underwear Institute Makes | Proposal at Wage-Hour Quiz. BACKGROUND— Black-Connery wage-and-hour bill would give Labor Standards Board power to fix minimum wages and maximum hours in all inter- state industries, with power ex= tended to intrastate activities where in direct competition ' with interstate. Bill also seeks to regulate child labor by requiring labeling and for- bidding interstate shipmeunt under conditions of oppressive production. 5 BY JOHN C. HENRY, Mandatory increases in tariff rates, in proportion to production and dis- tribution cost increases effected by the Black-Connery wage-and-hour law, was proposed to the Senate and House Labor Committees today by the Un- derwear Institute. | Presenting the most careful analysis | a single industry, the institute objected o the bill as giving autocratic power over industry to the President. Instead, the institute, through Roy A. Cheney, its spokesman, proposed that the administrative board be given lifetime appointments and an irremov- able status, subject only to impeach- in cases of Federal judgeships. The legislation to be passed, Cheney should prohibit employment and a $12 minimum wage. Against Exemptions.

Her second husband was Paul Bern, film producer, whose death a few months after their wedding is still somewhat mysterious, without full ex- planation of motives for suicide. At the request of Mrs. Bello, who | sought to avoid mob scenes which have attended funerals of some screen stars in the past, the body did not lie in state. The mother ordered the casket kept closed, wishing her daugh- ter's public to remember her as she was in life. Although Jean had one of Holly- wood’s largest collections of jewels, no gem adorned her in death. She was dressed in a light Meather silk or. gandie gown. In the casket she rested on velour the color of her shining honey-gold hair. The gown was caught at the waist with a wide ribbon of Alice blue. 'She wore sandals of silver and white.

Keating. spokesman for both | suggested. extending the bill to prohibit inter- state shipment of goods produced un- der monopolistic conditions. Such a proposal has been made by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho in con- versation about the bill. Child Labor is Tssue. Most. determined effort to alter the | legislation seems to center about the child labor section with developments {of the past two days showing these distinct movements: First, to handle this problem entirely through sepa- | rate legislation, or, second, to alter !lh!‘ child labor provision of the wage- hour bill to make it conform more closely to the invdlidated 1916 child labor act. Among late vesterday's witnesses the millinery industry and its union employes, the latter belonging to the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers' Union, in indorsing the legis- { lation, suggested the division of Amer- | ican industry in 10 basic adm trative sections, the avoidance of ex emptions or differentials, except in rare cases, and a vesting of some of | the contemplated functions of the act in the National Labor Relations Board | and the Children’s Bureau “More of the Nation's income must £0 into consumption and less of it into savings and investment,” Father Ryan declared. “The increased wages and increased cost of production brought about by a maximum hour and minimum w: law can be met partly out of profits and interest and partly through the elimination of the high-cost productive concerns. “Many observers of the economic scene are coming to the conclusion | that we shall never again see general prosperity and general employment | that we shall always have five or six million unemployed. “Surely this is counsel of despair. | “The American people will not and should not be asked to accept this as a permanent condition. The supreme merit of the bill is that it makes a be- ginning at correcting the great evils of | unemployment and underconsumption. “No other equally promising or | equally realistic formula has yet been This plan goes directly to the root of the evil—namely, the underpaid laborer.” Retailers Seen Favorable. C. O. Sherrill, head of the Ameri- can Retail Federation, appeared to inform the committee that his or- ganization has not yet been fully can- vassed on the bill, but he felt there was an inclination to favor some- thing of the kind. Harvey Wilson, National Upholstery and Drapery Textile Association, testi- fled his organization is not opposed to fixed minimum wages and maxi- mum hours, but, “We believe this bill, as a law, would be Wwholly un- workable and would result in con- fusion in industry far exceeding that connected with the attempt to ad- minister the N. I. R. A, which was bad enough.” Joining in the opposition to exemp- tions for small establishments, Wil- son also asked for consideration of the issue of foreign competition. “We believe,” he said, “that our industry’s problem of foreign com- petition, particularly from the Orient, | should not be casually dismissed by saying there are Government agencies | already in existence to take care of it.” Public Ownership Cited. Benjamin C. Marsh, head of the people’s lobby, asked approval of the bill only as a step in proving the ultimate need of public ownership. “None of these other things will work,” he declared. “The Black-Connery bill is justified as part of the futile effort to lift our- selves by our bootstraps in which we have been indulging ourselves all this present century, since good free land passed out of the hands of government into private speculation and exploita- | tion. —_——————— 28-Inch Twins.
