WASHIN( i TON.—There’s more
than a desire for rest and recrea-'
tion behind this ocean trip Of.
200sevelt’s '
ht’l‘;p president’s love f9r the ?eal
can’t possibly be minimized. But
those closest toO him k.now ?hat
several practical considerations
entered into his plans.
He will glad-hand Puerto Rico,
(he Virgin Islands, and Hawaii,
and in each case tell the islanders
gbout thelr share in the New
Deal. He will meet the presidents
of Panama, Colombia, and Haiti
and radiate the Roosevelt charm
through them to the rest of Latin
America. |

America in 1928,
Administration commercial 1)01-]
icy now looks toward lLatin Amer- |
jca and Asia rather than Europe.}
You can bear in mind that Puerto
Rico. a Spanish country under ouf
flag, may be consieered our out
post in Latin America. ;
The Spanigh-speaking republics,
feeling a close bond, have always
kept an eye on the island and
watched our course of action there
—a fact always remembered in
this capital.
Roosevelt will promise a lot of
economic rehabilitation to Puerto
Rico From Hawaii—populated
largely by Japanese, Chinese and
Filipinos—he will make a bow to
the Orient,
And to politicians the tour
seems o stroke of sheer genius.
It gives F, D. the best possible ex
cuse for crossing the country—he
has to get back €0 Washington.
Returning from Hawaii, he will
make speeches and get out among
the people. Political intentions
are disclaimed—which wouldn’t be
so easy if Roosevelt merely went
crogs-country and back—but the
net effect will be a sales campaign
for the administration.

GERMANY IS STILL IN UNSETTLED STATE
JULY FOURTH DEATH
TOL A SOUTH 5
4 175 VER TN
By The Associated Press
Thirty-one lives were lost
throughout the South during the
celebration of the Fourth of July.
In Dixie alone, [fifteen persons
were drowned, that number being
the largest total of deaths attrib
uted to any one cause, eleven peo
ple “were killed in automobile acci
dents, and the other deaths were
laid to miscellaneous causes.
The United States as a whole
celebrated its 158th birthday anni
versary in the sanest manner in
recent years, with the lowest num
pber of deaths since 1929.
Death Toll 175
A total of 175 men, women and
children gave up their lives on the
anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, a drop
of ten from last year and only
about one third of the number who
perished in 1931.
The sharpest decrease was in the
number who died as a result of the
use of fireworks. Only two persons
perished from this cause, as com
pared with seven in 1933. A five
yvear old Chinook, Mont., girl was
one of the victims. The other was
a Negress, killed in Minneapolis
}when a rocket skipped over the
ground and struck her in the
chest. : .
Thus the campaign for a “safe
and sane” fourth, started in 1907
bv James Keasley, then an elitor
of a Chicago newspaper, appeared
to be gaining ground.
Hundreds Treated
Hundreds of persons, however,
were treated for minor injuries
from fireworks. Among them 2,-
200 in New York city.
Keeley started his movemen® as
he sat at the bedside of his sick
daughter who was disturbed by
the barrage of shots that resound
ed around her room. He never
lived to see his movement bear
fruit, for he died the same year.
Thousands of others took up the
work, selling America the idea of
celebrating the day in less danger
ous pastimes.
Drowning was the principal
cause of vestardav’s fatalities with
a total of 70 in the nation. Auto
mobiles claimed 69 and for the
first time since 1931 were regpon
sible for fewer deaths than the

Back at Washington “‘for
Many a Day”
WASHINGTON.— (&) —Though
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is on
an “off the record” vacation, there
is one thing “on the record”—she
isn’t due back in Washington for
many a day.
The White House is in such a
state of upheaval right now it
isn’t “home” to anyone.
Even Secretary Louis Howe, so
fond of his job he'd like to keep
his White House room all summer,
has gone home to Massachusetts:
andg Miss Marguerite LeHand, who
lives in the White House, too, has
gone to Europe.
Like the Roosevelts, they ex
pect to stay away until the eleva
tor is fixed and other repairs
made. P
Mrs. Roosevelt’s next scheduled
appearance is in Chicago July 9,
when she will make a radio
broadcast, anq visit her friends,
Slim Williams and his teath of
Alaskan huskies, at the World's
Fair.
After that she meets her hus
band, returning from his Hawaiian
cruise, at some west coast port,
perhaps Seattle.

BRITISH PAYMENTS
'German Officials Say Oth
-1 er Countries Can Make
} Debt Agreement
WASHINGTON—(®)—The United
States will demand that Germany
give Americans an even break
with Britons in the payment of
debts.
This became known today asthe
officlal reaction to news that the
Reich has agreed to pay interest
for at least six months on Dawes
and Young loan bonds held by
British subjects. |
About $1,500,000,000 of German
obligations are held in this coun
try. Authoritative gources said a
new note asking equality may be
dispatched to the Reich. If no
note ig sent, diplomatic conversa
tiong to that end arg expected to
be pressed.
Britain’'s threat to seize German
commercial funds in England was
considered potent. But the United
States enjoye a ‘favorable” bal<
ance of trade with Germany, that
is, Germang buy more from Am
ericans than Americans buy from
Germans. :
" Any idea that the United States
could follow the British way of re
talita“on therefore died aborning
bhecause this country stood a chance
of coming off second best in any
trade war with Germany.
State department officlals point
ed out that the agreements under
which the bonds were issued call-’
ed for the same treatment for all
nations.

The three companies, with seven
others, are requesting also that the
commission be enjoined from issu
ing orders for further rate cuts.
Attention was called by the com
panies to a previous federal court
injunction against rate reductions
and a warning that any violation
of the order would be held as con
tempt. They contended that later
hearings and orders issued by the
majority of instances set up the
same rates a 8 thosé previously en

“INTI-JAZL” HEAD:
OF COLLEGE STAYS
Attempt of Students to
QOust Arkansas School
President. Fails
MONTICELLO, Ark.—{(#)—Pres
ident Frank Horsfall, anti-jazz
president of Monticello Agricul
tural and Mechanical College,
whose ouster was sought by a ma
jority of the students who charged
among other things his chapel
talks on dancing contained ‘“crude
allusions to sex problems,” was
firmly =ntrenched in his position
today with the Dbacking of the
board of trustees. e
The board in a lengthy report on
its investigation of general charges
of “failing methods of administra
tion” at the colleg2 told Governor
Futrell that it found “no Just
cause for his dismissal at this
time in humiliation and shame.”
Horsfall has been head of the
school for the past 24 years.
An’ open investigation was con
ducted by the board at the sugges
tion of Governor Futrell to whom
the students several months agc
presented a petition in which a
score of charges were made
against President Horsfall and
John Richardson, of Warren, then
a member of the board of trustees.
Students testified at the open
hearing that President Horsfall in
his chapel talks declared mod=rn
dancing was nothing less than ‘a
sex orgy” and that those wha
danced ‘would go to hell.”
Horsfall on the stand denied
that the students had quot2ad him
exactly. .
New National Labor
Relations Board Plans
Quick Re-adjustment
WASHINGTON.—(#)—The new

reported today to be contemplat
ing a quick realignment of the
maze of exXisting labor boards.
The three-man tribunal, design
ed as a sort of supreme court for
capital-worker disputes, probably
will hold its first meeting within
ed it.
Because of the surge of strikes
and controversies its members
plan to be in action before Mon
day. The old national labor board
is abolished by presidential decree
on that date.
The new board—overseer of all
other existing boards—will find
what one of its authorities called
a “tangle” of about 35 such or
ganizations. Many are overlapping
and some have been declared in
efficient.

SLAYER OF GENTRY
IS CAPTURED TODAY
Carl Church, Itinerant
Painter, Confesses to
Crime, Police Say
- JEFFERSON, Wis, —(#)— Carl
lChurch. captured as the slayer of
Barl Gentry, erstwhile bodyguard
to D. C. Stephenson, former Indi
ana Ku Klux Klan Ijeager, con
fessed the crime, the autnorities
said today shortv after he was ar
rested at Fort Atkinson near hara.
Sheriff Joseph T. Lange and Fort
Atkinson officers’ caught Church
last night as he lay asleep in a
vinery.
“l am not sorry in the least for
the act I committed as I feel that
I did a good deed for society when
1 killed Earl Gentry,” Church, an
itinerant painter also known as
George (Slim) King, was quoted
by Sheriff Lange as saying.
He committed the act, he said,
because Mrs. Carrie Gill, 59-year
old widow accused of plotting
with Church to bring about Gen
try's death, had been abused by
Gentry and because ‘‘she was kind
to me when I was sick.,” Mrs. Gill,
whose late husband was aewell to
do tavern keeper, is being held for
first degree murder and admitted,
the investigators said, that she
gave Church S6O to slay Gentry.
She is known locally as the “Sun
shine Lady” because of her acts
of charity and pleasant tempera
ment. )

Gentry’s body, with a bullet
wound in his head, was found last
Sunday siamped in his automobile
which had been parked near tne
Gill residence, where he had made
‘his home for the past eight years.
Gentry formerly lived in Atlanta,

Two Florida Youths
Sentenced to Death
For Bold Kidnaping
BONIFAY, Fla—(4)—First to
be convicted without a mercy rec
ommendation under Florida’s new
“Lindbergh Law,” two youths to
day faced death in the electric
chair for kidnaping and mistreat
ing Mrs. J. L. Phelps, 77-year
old widow.
Millard Keith, 18, and Bernard
Rutherford, 21, late _ yesterday
heard the verdict delivered by a
jury of Holmes county farmers.
No sign of emotion at the pro
nouncement was shown by the
pair, who earller in the- afternoon
had admitted beating the elderly
woman and taken her into the
woods to terrorize her in an effort
to make her turn over some money
to them.
Their principal defense was a
contention they had not received
any money, testimony contradicted
by the widow who said she had
given them SI.BO before she was
forced to accompany them in an
automobile. The law prescribes a
death penalty only if the kidnap
ing is for the purpose of obtain
ing money. 2
Both insisted they were aided
by a man named “Hunt” and not
by Dewey Keith, brother of Mil

mull over the unprecedented mat

is in the plural or the singular,
Dan Cupid must wait. t

marry, or, rather—that is to say,
Violet wanted to marry—what is

simplify things. oy
There was only one prospective
bridegroom named — Maurice L.
Lambert, 29-year-old orchestra
leader, who lives at the same
apartment building as the twins.
Daisy said she already had a
fiancee—Harry Mason, a pugilist,
