THE EVENING . PRESIDENT SILENT INHARMONY VOWS Roosevelt Makes No Appeal | for Unity—Misses Dinner. Lauds Barkley. By the Assocated Press Pledges of party harmony echoed | among Senate Democrats today, but DI e:, WEDNESDAY Leaders and Roosevelt Critic the voice of President Roosevelt was missing from the chorus. The President, because of “pressure of other things.” did not attend the | “harmony” dinner held at the Raleigh | Hotel last night by the Democratic | Senators, recently split over legisla- tive issues. | He paid tribute to the honor guest— | Senator Barkley of Kentucky, new majority leader—in a note, which said 1n part “He has two great gifts for which he ought to be thankful and for which we are truly grateful—a sense of per- spective * * * and a sense of humor which enables him to distinguish be- tween the ridiculous and the serious.” Publicly there was no comment on the President’s failure to attend or to make a general appeal for party har- mony in his message. Some of those | who fought his court bill, however, | speculated privately about its possible significance Dove Is Motif. Among those present was Scnator Copeland of New York, who on Mon- day accused the President of destroy- ing party harmony and of seeking reprisals against those his court program There was no mention of these mun- dane things at the dinner. held amid music and merriment. A live pigeon, symbolizing a “dove of peace,” flut- tered about the banquet hall. Spun sugar doves nestled on the ice cream, and the piece de resistance was squab. The most significant development of the evening, some of the guests said, was a remark by Barkley that | as leader he would speak frankly ln: conveying the views of the Senate to the President and vice versa | He told his colleagues he would try to harmonize the two governmental branches in working out legislative problems, Tribute to Barkley. | Some of the Senators also attached significance to a speech by Scna Lewis of Illinois, party whip, in which he warned them of “efforts afoot in the name of democracy that may be the destruction of democracy.” Lewis told reporters afterward he had expressed regret “that our dis- tinguished leader in his generosity and faith is being ever imposed upon by certain elements in politics who did not have the courage to be Republicans nor the sense to be Democrats.” He did not identify the “certain elements.” Vice President Garner, who long has been wor for party harmony., p: sided. There were nearly: a dozen speeches, including some by Senators Harrison of Mississippi, defeated c: didate f leader: Glass of V. Smith of South Carol of Montana, who have been £picuous in opposing various adm tration measures. The Fresident's tribute to Barkley The letter addressed to Vice Presi- dent Garner as “Dear Jack,” said “The quality of a man’s frtendship is always a safe barometer of his char- ecter and in the case of Alben Barkley this is particularly true. And it is as an old friend that I write this note; | that I embrace the opportunity to add | v to the words of his other friends and colleagues who will speak tonight in token of their appre- | ciation and affection for this man. ‘Alben is not only a political friend but is a friend in a very real and ver: deep personal sense. Our associations cover long and delightful years. We have traveled together; we have barn- stormed together; we have wn the exultation of victory and we have been together in times of mutual commis- eration. Marvelous Restraint. *I know that every one present this evening will agree with me that Alben Barkley is grtatly distinguished for the things he does not say, as well as for | the things he does say. Whether he was born that way or has N‘q\nrf'd! this marvelous restraint through years | of self-discipline, I do not know. But I do know that it is a great asset | “He has two great gifts for which | he ought to be thankful and for which | we are truly grateful—a sense of per- spective whereby little things are not unduly magnified and the larger things of life arg not minimized, and a sense | of humor which enables him to dliv: tinguish between the ridiculous and | the serious. “Any man who, when the discussion of some picayune subject waxes serious and acrimonious, can rise in his place | and sing ‘Wagon Wheels' is a positive genius. He knows by sound instinct | that on occasion party harmony is| aided and abetted by close harmony.” who fought | on, | con- letter paid higi FRANCE ORDERED TO PAY | WIFE'S DIVORCE TICKET | Court Gives $750 for Expenses From Paris and '$250 Monthly While Here to Testify. By the Assoctated Press. ELKTON, Md., August 11.—Dr Joseph I. France, former United States Senator from Maryland and one-time | aspirant for the Republican presi- | dential nomination, was ordered ves- | terday to pay expenses of his wife from Paris, France, for hearing of | their divorce suit here. Dr. France filed the suit in Circuit | Court here last June. He alleged he and his wife have been separated for more than five years. Today attorneys for Mrs. France petitioned the court for $1,800 ex- penses for Mrs. France from Paris to Elkton and for $250 per month | maintenance while the suit is pending. ‘The court granted $750 expenses and the requested $250 monthly. Mrs. France was Tatiana Z. Dech- terava, a Russian emigre, who fled that country after the revolution. She and her mother had been living in England, Italy and France. Her | father was a former member of the | Russian Court of Appeals in Moscow | and her maternal grandfather was | Nicholas Rostovsky, a friend of the late Count Leo Tolstoy.

S. \ By the Associated Press. | LUEBECK, Germany, August 11,——[ The German seaplane Nordmeer took | off for Lisbon at 7:50 am. (1:50 am., | E.S.T) today on the first leg of her | maiden voyage to New York to survey a route for future trans-Atlantic air | service linking the United States and | Germany The 16-ton flying ship roared into the air from this Baltic seaport and headed southwest for the flight to Por- | tugal, considered the most dangerous | section of the journey because it is over land. The ship will fly over Paris, South France, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. Flight Capt. Joachim Blankenburg expected to make this leg in about 13 hours. About an hour and a half out of Luebeck, Capt. Blankenburg reported | his position as over Hilversum, the Netherlands, and said the giant air boat was cruising at a speed of 162 miles an hour. | To Fly to Azores. | From Lizbon the Nordmeer is sched- uled to fly to the Azores, where the catapult ship Schwabenland is stand- ing by to refuel and launch the plane for the 2300-mile final hop to New York. It might remain at Horta, the | Azores, until Saturday. he flight is the first of eight trips scheduled this year across the Atlantic for the Nordmeer and her sister ship, | the Nordwind, making Germany's open bid for trans-Atlantic passenger and freight service. ‘With the veteran captain at the con- trols, the plane rose easily and circled the naval air base twice before disap- pearing into the west. Only a hand ful of Lufthansa officials and arm: navy and aviation officers were on | hand, but the populace of Luebeck | cheered and waved handkerchiefs as the huge ship roared over the town. Motor Parts Comprise Cargo. In addition to the crew of four, a German newspaper man was aboard | the Nordmeer, which carried a limited | number of spare motor parts but no | mail. | The plane and its sister ship are considered the sturdiest ever con- structed in Germany, and in addition to electric heating, each has a metal bed for the crew to sleep in shifts. On future flights a land plane will cover the European leg, transferring its cargo to the huge seaplanes at Lisbon. The entire run, scheduled eventually to link Frankfort-on-Main with New York, is expected to take about 30 hours. throughout the night. Street are dimmed, and only the fewest pos- Gun turrets were being built on all | the railroad stations between Tientsin | and points northward through the Great Wall of China. This correspondent was constan:ly | warned not to look out of the train windows, even when nothing more important than a trainload of Amer- ican auto trucks was being transported along the line. So great is the insistence that any- thing connected with the Japanese Army is a secret it is carried almost to the point of childishness.
