Child Welfare Group of League Told Prohibition and Jazz Make United States Decadent Nation Committee Refrains From Discussing Report Sub-| mitted by French Presi-| dent of Nurses’ Council. Geneva, April 17 (UP) — The| League of Nations' child welfare committee today continued to kegp seeret, formally at least, details of & report handed it yesterday picturing the United States as a jazz-mad, de- cadent nation undermined by prohi- bition and lack of family life. Mlie. Marie Meonie Chaptal, pres- ident of the International Council of Nurses, made the report. The com- mittec allowed Mlle. Chaptal to de- £cribe her experiences but refrained from discussing her findings. It was kept secret for fear of in-| juring the sensibilities of the L'nucdi States; but certain of the criticisms have become known, Lists Objections | Mile. Chaptal attributes what she | regards as the total decadence of ! America’s youth, the United Press understands, to these things: 1—Prohibition laws. which chil- drén sce violated constantly by their parents —Jazz Diverce. whereof she quoted | figures showing that in certain years 65 per cent of American divorces occurred in families with young| children. 5—Lack of home life | On her tour, Mlle. Chaptal visit- | ed Washington. Chicago. Detroit Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York | and Boston. Her investigation was welcomed by President Hoover, it was under- | slood. | Morals Forgotten After visiting Lillian Wald's mis- sion in New York, Mlle. Chaptal declared her investigation showed a depth of moral and physical misery t would appal the average social worker. She said scores of Ameri- can social workers were more inter- | ested in psychology than the moral welfare of the children visited. “Hygiene often takes the place of morals and suc importance is at- | tached to physical health that the| soul fails even to be regarded as a living reality,” the report said. Moral delinquency among chil- dren in New York is increasing, the report said, apparently due to the| behavior of their parents. Mile. Chaptal paid tribute to her | Teception by social workers in every | city she visited, and to the results| they attained. These. she said, were obtained by supervision by dele om the juvenile court who visit families: women | yolice attached to municipal head- quarters. SENATE CONSIDERS | SECRET BALLOTING Open 6. 0. P. Break on Parker | Nomination Threatened Washington, April 17 (UP) — So| embarrassing politically has become the opposition to Judze John J. Parker as a supreme court justice that two alternative plans of pre- venting an open republican party break are being arranged by scnate | leaders. | It they can, the leaders will hold | the nomination in the senate judi-| ciary ‘committee indefinitely, in| order to prevent a discussion of the issues raised by the nomination on the scnate floor Failing in that, as they fear they | wilk fail. they will try to make an agreement for a closed executive gession of the senate to consider the nomination. It would be the first secret session of the senate since the rules were changed last spring, and | now there must be a ballot in favor | of the sceret session before the doors | can be closed. Some such step scems necessary to the lcader: ce publication of a telegram sent to Scnator Patter- cpublican. Mo., by B. G. Voor- republican state chairman of Missouri Warns of Missouri Stand “In my judgment the confirmation of Judge Parker mcans that the re- publican party might just as well say goodhye to Missouri for the next two or three elections at least,” Voorhees stated “It will be the first great affront | given by a republican president and a republican scnate to the negro since the days of Abraham “It was a long hard pull to put ssouri in the republican column ems a pity that the fine results achicved through many years of un- St. Mark’ remitting effort in Missouri on the part of republican state organization should be thrown away in two'short years.” Z ? Others Voice Objections Similar sentiments have been pri- vately voiced by.someé of ‘the’lead- crs from the other so-called. border states of West Virginia, Ohio, Kent tucky, Indiana and Ilinois. They have caused alarm to the-senators from those and other states; who must decide -whether Judge Parker shall be confirmed. These ‘inglude such stalwart republicans .as Goft, W. Va. Robsion, Ky.; McCulloth, Ohio; * Robinson and Watson, “In- diana, (where -there are 120,000 | colored voters); and Glenn, Tlifhois. These senators, along with the farm bloc members who are oppos- ing:'Parker because of his “‘vellow dog contract” - decision . and.a .few democrats, are the only ‘ones now listed in the oppesition camp, The attitude of “somie of these still is doubtful. - Parliamentarians believe Parker would ‘be confirmed if the:vete :is taken in executive: session” without open -debate and the inevitable air- ling of*the union labor and negro |issues. COMMITTEE WILL REPORT ON INQUIRY \Williams Resignation Probe Completed—Facts Ready Washington, April 17 08 — The senate sub-committee, inquiring into the resignation of Lieutenant Alford J. Willilams, speed pilot, from the navy, and into conditions surround- ing development of navy. pursuit and bombing: planes. has decided to submit an early report slightly criti- cal of, but in sympathy with, both Williams and the department. The sub-committee of the senate naval affairs committee. who heard Williams and high officials of the navy, has concluded that ' navy planes compare ‘extremely favor- ably” with those of other nations. Convinced that both Williams and the navy department were slightly in error in events leading to his resignation, the sub-committee is to |report that, although . apparently there was misunderstanding on both sides, there was justification for the ravy's transferring the officer to sea duty, Williams testified that he re- | signed at that time in order to speed | experimentation * forward, through private connections.

THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 19 ‘(Goodye dI offers a new BRUMMELL for Looks Here’'s a new tire by Goodyear for the heavy car, the fast driver, the tough and rocky road—for any service that’s arduous in the extreme! It steps apart from other Heavy Duty balloons not only by its greater strength and improved con- struction, but also by its strikingly handsome appearance. It’s a big, stout, massively proportioned tire, armored with an extra-thick and extra-safe All-Weather Tread, and around its sleek black side-wall runs a single identifying stripe of silver. New and original is the way in which the outer rows of All-Weather blocks are faceted down into the side-wall, a touch as smart as anything in mod- ern sculpture. You may be willing to pay a little more for a tire which gives you extra immunity against puncture, extra protection against blowout, extra mileage even in hard continuous service. If you feel that way about it, go see the nearest Goodyear Dealer, and have him change over your car’s tire equipment to these new Goodyear Heavy Duty balloons today!
