Sperry, president of the Washington Gas Light Co., as chairman, the twenty-first annual Roll Call of the District Red Cross will begin September 26.

Keefer said. “I am confident that under his leadership Washington will enthusiastically an- swer the Roll Call.” Sperry declared: “I am very happy to do my part in the coming Roll Call, because it is a real privilege to serve the Red Cross. “It is truly a unique organization, meeting human crises individually as they occur and carrying the generosity and sympathy of the country to the needy. “I am confident that the people of Washington will, as they have in the past, respond to the Roll Call by be- coming members of the Red Cross,” ROCK CREEK PARK Marcy L.

GENEVA, September 13.—The dan- gerous international situation caused Switzerland today to mobilize the greatest police force it ever has used for a League of Nations session, Tension was increased by charges of piracy in the Mediterranean, the Spanish civil war and, particularly, by bomb explosions in Paris which wrecked headquarters of two employ- ers’ organizations Saturday night. Strong details of police, most of them in plain clothes, guarded the League Assembly hall from within and without. Although delegates like Anthony Eden, British foreign minister; Yvon Delbos of France and Maxim Litvinoff of Boviet Russia were protected by their own detectives, Switzerland had special guards watch over them wher- ever they went. An additional reason for the pre- cautions was a violent note received this morning by all delegates and newsmen attacking Dr. Juan Negrin, Spanish government premier. It was signed by a “group of Spanish patri- ots.” Written in French, it referred to Negrin as a “bandi GENLDEWIT WED DIES N NEW YORK World War Artillery Com- mander Succumbed to Pneumonia.

Because, five years ago, a woman Mving in Silver Spring, Md, thought she would like to see some of her former West Virginia neighbors, 600 persons assembled in Rock Creek Park yesterday for the third annual Vir- ginia-Maryland-West Virginia reunion, Washington I. Cleveland of Ken- sington, Md.,, head of the Reunion Committee, said notice of the get- together had been spread through the three States by notices placed in 600 newspapers. It was Mrs. Rhoda Fink who first had the idea for gathering together some of her friends for a picnic. The idea grew and friends brought friends until, as Cleveland said, “we don't know where it might end.” men and warehousemen who were custed from the A. F. of L.-controlled Central Labor Council, sought a char- ter for a C. I. O. council. Meeting at the call of Harry Bridges, Western C. I O. representative and head of the ousted stevedores, C. I. O. delegates yesterday merged forces into a “solid front” to back the longshore- men in their fight with A. F. of L. teamsters. Since September 1 the teamsters have refused to handle cargo to or from San Francisco's water front. They seek to force the stevedores into giving up Jjurisdiction over severad thousand warehousemen organized under the C. I. O. banner. Cargo movements have slowed per- ceptibly on some docks, but shippers expressed belief the embargo might not result in a complete shutdown be- cause much cargo is moved by train. Several leaders in the dispute were in Long Beach today for the State Federation of Labor convention. Dave Beck, western organizer for the team- SR SR Wedding Party Ends Fatally.
