ROCKEFELLER TALKS
FOR NAN'S SUCCESS
“Enormously Important”
Advantages of Recovery
Program Stressed
SEAL HARBOR, Maine.—~(AP)—
John D. Rockefeller, jr, pleaded
Saturday night for nationwide
operatiun to assure success of the
“great adventure in reconstruc-
tion, the national recovery act,”
and declared that “to turn back is
unthinkable.”
He described as one of the
“enormously important” advanta
ges accruing from success of the
NRA the “prevention of unfair
competition based upon exploita
tion of labor” and advocated the
principle of collective bargaining
in settling labor problems.
’ Attainment of the goal of the
NRA, which he characterized as
‘fumllment of two purposes, the
return to work of millions of men
and the provision of wages that
will restore normal buying power
is worth reaching “at almost any
cost or sacrifice,” said the noted
philanthropist.
Still Experimental
“president Roosevelt has point
ed out on a number of occasions,”
he said, “in connection with the
varjous recovery measures he has
brought forward during the past
few months, that necessarily many
features of these measures must
be regarded as experimental and
subjeet to revision in the light of
experience.
“Likewise as to the national re
covery act, both the President and
. . . General Johnson . . . have
made it clear « . . that the act is
an experiment directed toward so
lution of a great problem and
that it may need to be modified to
make it workablg.
“Phe fact that those in authority
are so open-minded . . . and so
desirous of retaining those seas
tures which commend themselves
as sound and helpful, should in
spire public confidence and the
heartiest cooperation with the ex-
D‘.L!ment."
ROOSEVELT WILL
TALK TO NORMAN
Arrangements Made For
Conference With Bank
Of England Governor
HYDE PARK, N. Y. —(AP) —
President Roosevelt arranged Sat
urday for a visit here next week
by Sir Montagu Norman, governor
of the Bank of England upon the
requesi of George Harrison, gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve bank
of New York.
Sir Montagu has been on a mys
tery visit in this country for more
than two weeks.
While naturally there is signifi
cance attached to his call here,
the views of President Roosevelt
against immediate stabilization of
the currency in foreign exchanges
are well known.
Stephen T. Early, a Secretary
to the President, announced Sat
urday that Norman was coming
here. A definite date for the call
has not been fixed. It wag made
quite plain that the visit of Brit
ish bank head was at the request
of Mr. Harrison. It was made
known also that there had Lbeen no
change in the attitude of the Pres
ident to refrain from stabiiization
action until he is convinced that
the dollar has found its level with
other currencies and that the
money of the other nations have
found a real basis.

WASHINGTON — (AP)— The
United States has decided to send
a treasury representative to Cuba
to assist the newly designated am
bassador—Jeiferson Caffery — in
studying a velief program for the
republic’s economic distress.
In making this known Saturday
State Department officials denied
rumors that President Roosevelt
was planning economic interven
tion in that country.
Linking the announcement with
a denial that provisional President
De Cespedes had requested the
service. of American economic ad
visers, %officials said no commission
of experts would be sent to Cuba.
Caffery, who next month will
succeed Ambassodor Sumner

the formers duties as assistant
secretary in charge of Latin
American affairs conferred twice
Saturday with Dean Acheson, act
ing Secretary of the Treaury. It
hag not been decided which of
the Treasury’'s staff of experts
will go to Cuba.
The plan to sehd a Treasury of
ficial rather than a corps of ad
visers wag decided upon to avoid
the appearance of the economic
intervention which Cuban officials
have denied ever was requested.

Mrs. John Barber Wier
On July 31st, of this year Mrs,
John Barber Wier passed on to
“That House not made with
hands.”
Sallie C. Patman, as all knew her
in girlhood, was born February 18
1856 in Clarke County, Georgia. Her
childhood was spent during the
conflict between the States.
Nearly fifty years ago she mar
ried John Barber Wier, and had
she lived until September, she and
her devoted life mate would have
celebrated their Golden Anniver
jsary.
For nearly forty years I have
known Mrs. Wier. She was deeply
interested in the Bible,
It was easy to understand the
beatitudes when with her—
“ Blessed are the meek, for they
shall inherit the earth.” God knows
and her friendg knew that her life
was a definition of the meaning
of meekness, :
“Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.' All whose
good fortune it wag to know Mrs.
Wier will say that she was pure
in heart. And, today, we can,
through the windows of our soul
see her close to the throne of glory
—happy in her House of many
mansions.
| She consecrated her life to the
mission of peace gand goodwill. Her
home was a sanctuary. In her ill
ness, which covered many months,
her faith in God, her perseverance
and courage’caused her to hold on
to patience. I have never seen a
more patient sufferer; physically
defeated she arouse valorously and
became a victor in the end.
“He was better to me than all my
hopes, 3
{Better than all my fears;
For He made a bridge of my
broken sighs,
And a rainbow of my tears.”
Higher than all, higher than pre
paration, purpose, enthusiasm, will,
perseverance and courage ig char
acter. Her character won the ap
proval of Heaven and God called
her to His Home.
She stiil lives, and will live on,
in the hearts of them that love the
lovable: of her the righteous say—
“ Many have succeeded, but thou
excellesg them all.”
“Be sure, be very sure, that soon
1 will come
His kindest angel, and through

Into the Infinite Love will lead thee

uel Insull, tormer head of the vast
Insull utilities interests, was de
tained in a nursing home Satur
day as the United States got un
der way a second fight to ex
tradite him,
Insull was taken first to the of
fice of the chjef of the Athens po
lice. His attorneys limmediately
cortended ’fihat he should not suf

the state of his health and his age.
(He is almost| 74.) i
Physicians examined him and it
was on their recommendation that
‘he was taken to the logothetopou
los elinic.
! Opinions Differ
A difference of opinion arose
between Greek and American au
thorities concerning the right of
the Greek government to go into
the substance of the case against
Insull before passing on the appli
cation for extradition.
“The detention is preventive,”
sald a statement issued by Minis
iter of Justice Taliadouros, ‘“pend
ilng the arrival of documents to be
furnished bythe American legation,
on the basis of which a decision
‘will be reached as to whether Mr.
llnsull should be extradited or not.”
~ Forest Harness, representative
of the offige of the United States
attorney-general, said he doubted
iwhe.ther the Greek = government
had the right to examine into the
substance of the charges, which
are set forth in an indictment,
(A Chicago dispatch said United
States District Attorney Dwight
H. Green Friday obtained release
of a suppressed indictment charg-.
ing Insull and his assocjates with
violation of the federal bankrupt
cy act, Green said this offense
was extraditable in Greece. A mail
fraud indletment against Insull
was regarded as non-extraditable.)
F Refused Extradition
Insull has been at liberty in
Greece since Dec. 27, 1932, when
a court refused to extradite him.
In his statement the Minister of
Justice said:
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs
transmitted to us a communica
tion from the American legation
requesting, in acenrdance with the
eleventh clause of the Greco-Am
erican extradition treaty, the pre
ventive detention of the American
citizen Samuel Insull with the ul
timate object of his extradition.
‘“We have transmitted this com
munication to the public prosecu
tor in order that he may act ac
cording to Greek law. The presi
dent of the court of appeal, to
whom the dossier was sent, sign
ed an order for Mr, Insull's de
tention which was duly carried
out.”
