4 BELGIANS TO NEAR HOOVER BY PHONE President-Elect Will Play Part in Brussels Celebra tion on Saturday. By the Associated Press His voice traveling thousands of miles over a telephone wire, President-elect Hoover on Saturday will address a cele bration at Brussels to be attended by the King and Queen of Belgium. Mr. Hoover will speak into a tele phone at his desk either at his May flower Hotel headquarters or his S street home, and at the Belgian capital his voice will be heard by the crowd through the medium of amplifiers. Celebration Honors Hoover. Information at the Hoover head quarters is that the celebration is in honor of the President-elect, who as head of the Belgian relief commission directed the feeding of the population during the German occupation. After nine days of continuous rounds of conferences with Republican party leaders. Mr. Hoover decided today to take a day off to devote to cleaning up his personal correspondence which has accumulated since his return from Cen tral and South America. Conferences with leaders will be re lumed tomorrow and carried on through Saturday, by which time Mr. Hoover hopes to complete the task of develop ing views on cabinet appointments and a variety of other subjects so that he will be left free to devote his time in Florida almost uninterruptedly to the preparation of his Inaugural address. Yesterday was perhaps the most strenuous day the next Pr*- sic kpt had had since his return to the National Capital. He talked with nearly a score of members of the House ami Senate as well as with others in official and private life. Limit Special Session Program. Out of the conferences came the defi nite word that proposals for waterways developments will await the session of the seventy-first Congress late in the year, with the special session limited to farm relief and tariff re vision and such urgent maters as ap propriations to defray the expenses of the special commission Mr. Hoover In tends to appoint to study the whole subject of prohibition enforcement. Among other legislative matters to which Mr. Hoover is giving preliminary study are veterans’ relief, the Army and Navy, employment stabilization, Indians, reclamation, waterways de velopments. such as the Great Lakes to the Gulf and the Atlantic projects and many others. He probably will treat most of these in his first annual message to Congress next December. PROTEST IS FILED IN FALLS PROJECT Conference's Secretary Charges Written Report Contains Only Statement of Opinion. the Associated Press. Charging that the written report of ©. C. Merrill, secretary of the Federal favwer Commission, contained statements of opinion on the Cumberland Falls hydroelectric project which were mat ter* for the commission to consider, Beatrice Ward Nelson, secretary of the National Conference on State Parks, ,has submitted supplementary protests against authorization of the project. The case, involving the application *f the Cumberland Hydroelectric Power Co. for permission to develop the proj ect. has been reflected in the Senate, which yesterday adopted a resolution by Senator Nye of North Dakota direct ing the power commission to give the (Senate all protests received by it against the application. The resolution also asked the com mission to submit protests against Sec retary West, sitting as a member of the commission In considering the Kentucky case, because of his former stockhold ings In the Samuel Insull utility enter prises. The Secretaries of War. Interior and Agriculture make up the power •ommlssion. The Merrill report was described as giving the Impression that circulars sent cut m opposition to the project con tained Information which was not ‘correct. HOOVER TO LEAVE CAPITAL ON MONDAY FOR FLORIDA REST (Continued From First Page.) much sentiment on Capitol Hill for the earlier date, provided the House com mittee on ways and means could be ready by the Ist of April to Introduce a tariff bill In the House. The Cali fornia Senator believed the earlier date will make it possible to dispose of farm relief and tariff revision more promptly and close the special session before the , hot weather overtakes the legislators. After the close of the present Congress, March 4, many of the Senators and Representatives who live In the West would scarcely have time to go to their homes and return for a special session Sining April 15. That being the with many remaining in Wash n, they would prefer, Senator tridge said, to tackle the work of tpecial session as soon as possible, eculation regarding the appoint * to the cabinet brought Gen. ,T<sm J. Pershing into the picture *giln today. Gen. Pershing, according to? the rumor, may be selected so» Secretary of War. The fact that he has be|n an Army man is not considered a bar to his selection. Many former Secretaries of War have been former Asny men. and it was pointed out to day that the first Secretary of War, under Washington, was Henry Knox of M|ssachusetts, a general in the Revolu tionary War. Gen. Pershing’s appoint ment. it is said, would be popular, in vifw of his distinguished services dur ing the World War. He is from Nebraska. - » » , . * ■—» WRITER HOLDS FREEDOM 5 OF DISCUSSION VITAL Afgell, Blaming Nationalism for Doubts United States- Britain Clash. Freedom of discussion as a funda mental requisite of democracy was stressed by Norman Angell, author and lecturer, Tuesday night In an address delivered In Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University, as the second in the lecture-recital series sponsored by the university. National ism, rather than capitalism, he said, is the principal cause of war. He charac terized as folly any prediction of war between Great Britain and the United States because of commercial Interests. Mr. Angell deplored the fact that edu cation does not necessarily develop the sense of good judgment as related to political affairs and that mere popu larity often dominates reason. Public minion, he said, is the controlling fac tsr m a democracy. - 1 OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. Infantry Society Again Names Gen. • Stephan President. The officers of the Society of Veteran Officers of the 3d District of ’ Columbia Infantry were re-elected unanimously at a meeting last night in the National Guard Armory. The officers are: Gen.

HORSESTOICCUPY PLACE IN PARADE Vanishing Symbols of Pre- Mechanical Age to Be Resur rected March 4. Slowly vanishing symbols of an era giving way before the march of the mechanical age will occupy prominent positions in the inaugural cavalcade as it moves down Pennsylvania avenue the afternoon of March 4, behind the new President. Twenty years ago most of those in the inaugural of President Taft who were not on foot were mounted on horses. But today the horse has been pushed into the discard as an agency of motive power by the advance in au tomobiles. But horses and horsemen are an impressive feature of the in augural parade, and the horse will again come into his own in the process sion on March 4. Cavalry from Fort Myer will move down Pennsylvania avenue mounted on carefully groomed horses, while certain of the escorts of governors will be mounted. The famous First City Troop of Philadelphia, with a history dating back to revolutionary days; Troop A of Cleveland and possibly the famous Es sex Troop will be among the mounted units in the cavalcade. Indians, dressed in full tribal regalia, will ride the bare backed horses of the plains, and vie with the chaparejo-clad cowboys from Oklahoma and other parts of the South west. J Senator George H. Moses, a member of the joint congressional committee in charge of the Induction ceremonies for Herbert Hoover, announced today that seating facilities for 8,000 persons will be made available at the Capitol who will witness Mr. Hoover take the oath of office. The size of the stand on the north front of the White House, where Mr. Hooover and Vice President-elect Curtis have been asked to sit to review the parade, has not yet been fixed, but It will probably accommodate about 1,500 persons. The stands at the Capitol wll be covered, and portions of the stands will be Inclosed in glass, under present plans. The reviewing stand In front of the White House will also be a covered affair, to which ad mission is usually by card only. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, chairman of the Inaugural committee, called another meeting of committee chairmen for this afternoon at 4:30 o’clock to discuss further details of the work of the various units handling the varie gated Inaugural pattern. The Hoover-Curt Is Club of New York yesterday purchased $3,000 worth of tickets for the inaugural charity ball to be held the evening of March 4. They wil ladmit 300 members of the club, and purchase of 700 more tickets is expected in view of the announcement that the club will send 1,000 members here for the Inaugural.

CEREBRAL OPERATION EXPECTED TO CHANGE “BAD BOY’S” ETHICS (Continued From First Page.) cot in City Hospital, still Is in a weak ened condition and is unaware of the new individuality physicians say will be his. He Is permitted to talk but little and has given but one hint of the possible Arthur-that-is-to-be. When a photographer entered his room in the police ward In City Hospital, the boy called weakly to a police guard: “Tell that nurse to wash mv eye before I have my picture taken.’’ His request was granted, and a wan smile told his gratification. Before the opera tion, it is said, the boy showed but little Interest In his personal appear ance. Dr. Samuel B. Cowen, ear. nose and throat specialist, who performed the operation, has pronounced himself “satisfied” with the results achieved to date. He believes there is little doubt that the boy will be different In nearly all his characteristics. Miss Irene Nungesser, assistant United States district attorney, who ordered the operation, is so firmly convinced that it will eliminate the boy’s criminal tendencies that she will ask Judge John Paul Jones, when Arthur recovers, to change his sentence from two years In the National Training School for Boys in Washington to one hour in the custody of the marshal. After that, he Is to be paroled under the care of his parents. The operation was a last desperate expedient to save Arthur’s life. He had complained that all his misdeeds were committed during spells when his “head hurt and he felt sick.” Doctors who examined him, however, found nothing the matter. While In county jail here awaiting sentence, however, he fell in a semi-stupor marked by paralysis of his right side and inability to read, though he could hear and speak. Dr. Cowen found he had been suffering for several years from a chronic mastoid condition and that the Infection had penetrated the narrow in tervening wall to the brain. He oper ated and removed the mastoid and the abscess from the brain. It Is an opera tion only one In ten survive, out It is believed Arthur will live. In two months, barring the unexpected, re covery Is expected to be complete. Belief that there will be a complete change of personality Is based on the fact that pressure from the abscess had affected the boy’s entire brain and that when even a small part of the brain Is affected, some change In personality invariably results, physicians say. Precedent Is found In the famous case known in medical history as the “Crowbar case” In 1848, when Phlneas P Gage, a railroad worker, was the victim of an accident In which a crowbar was driven through his skull, destroying the left frontal lobe of his brain. His mental faculties were unim paired, but ne was changed from a steady, easy-going type to a restless Individual, given to sudden fits of tem -Ber and to childish, grandiose ideas ke those a normal boy gets when he 1 decides to go out and fight Indians. What the change in Arthur will be : physicians are unable to say. But that there will be changes they are posltlva, i, (Copyright, 1929.) THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D.

SMALL CLAIMS BILL AGREED UPON Seante and House Conferees Favor Act to Permit Settlements by Commissioners. Senate and House conferees reached an agreement today on the bill to per mit the Commissioners to settle out of court small claims against the District. As soon as the two branches of Congress approve the conferees’ report the meas ure will be ready to go to the President. As worked out In conference the bill places a limit of $5,000 on settlements and provides that in tax cases settle ments can be made only in cases arising since September, 1916. In damage claims and other civil suits the usual statute of limitations, containing a three-year limit, would apply. This bill would enablf the Commis sioners to settle suits brought by* prop erty owners to set aside assessments made against them for street paving under the Borland law where the cir cumstances are similar to other cases in which the courts have already de cided against the District. Without this law each property owner would have to go through the rourt in order to recover, even though their cases are similar to ones in which the courts have decided the Borland law did not apply.

THE MORRIS I I PLAN BANK I Under Supervision U. S. Treasury I HI im H STREET, N. W. II BYRD IN AIRPLANE VIEWS BROAD AREA . IN ONE-HOUR FLIGHT _ (Continued From First Page.) the least glory, should be the first ones to fly today. Benjamin Roth, detailed by the Army Air Corps to accompany the expedition, went up with Parker. The pilot taxied the plane far down to one side over the slightly rough sur face and the action of the sklis and landing gear was watched anxiously by men who had worked over that problem for months. The sklis, 10 feet apart, give a very broad landing gear. They are fastened to stream-lined supports built up of welded tubing. They were of new design and there was some anxiety as to how they would work. Parker finally opened the throttle. Jerk ed the tall of the machine off the snow and started swaying across the uneven surface, He played safe and held her down until the plane lifted and began climbing slowly toward the barrier cliff miles away. Makes Easy Landing. The other pilot and Byrd expressed their gratification and watched as the plane turned and headed inland toward the base about nine miles away. Parker had about 2.500 feet altitude by the time he reached there and became a mere speck in the sky when he turned and came back He came down in a fast glide toward the watching group, barely touched his mark and rapidly shot up again. When he banked around and , landed the plane settled quickly and easily, stopping In a very short distance. The landing gear had performed better than even had been suspected. Babe Smith, for years air mall pilot on the night run between Cleveland and New I York, was the next to take up the plane. With him he took Kennard Bubler. Marine Corps mechanic, and the other mechanic, who was with Byrd at Spitz bergen, Nick Demas. By this time the sklis were smoother and it was possible to tell how the plane would act, so that Babe got it off in short order and went sailing away to the south as If he intended to reach the South Pole all by himself. He turned In a short time, however, and came back, sailing sway fast and waving his hands as he laughed at the crowd below. Half wing aver and a few simple evolutions and he came down and dropped in an easy landing. It was easy to see the plane handled well on the snow and in the air. Bernt Balchen and Donald June, with a Navy test and stunt pilot, climbed Into the machine, with June at controls and Balchen kneeling behind him. Sklis Given Excellent Test. “I want to see how those sklis work when we land.” said Balchen. who has done a great deal of snow flying. June took off very quickly and after a short flight squashed the plane, a stall land ing, which gave the skils an excellent test. It did not give a bit. Balchen, who had been longing to get at the controls, took up me and Teddy Bayer, assistant engineer of the City of New York. Balchen looks more like Daniel Boone than a flying man, for he had on a fur cap and an Indian soft leather shirt with belt. He hauled himself Into the seat, grinned back at us and let her go. Even an amateur could tell the efficiency of the landing gear as the plane shot over the snow, climbing and dropping over small hard snow mounds, but as soon as a point near flying speed was reached the unevenness of the sur face became hardly apparent and in a very short distance we were climbing and turning in a wide arc up over the sea. Below was a mass of black spots on the snow which one knew were men and the dogs engaged in unloading all the gear, and a ship which seemed too tiny to hold all the many tons of freight which had come out of her. Balchen circled her once and then turned Inland and toward the south. It was not cold inside despite the low temperature, and Balchen had one window open a few Inches most of the time. He leaned back and pointed down. Far below could be seen the trail toward the barrier. A few black specks below came into sight—a dog sled jogging its way toward the ship slowly and with much exertion while we slid swiftly by over head; the old and the new way In which this great continent Is being explored.

LAUDS PACT ACTION, ATTACKS SHIP BILL War Cause and Cure Parley Thanks Coolidge, Then Hits Cruiser Program. After adopting a resolution thanking the President for signing the Kellogg peace pact the Conference on the Cause and Cure of War directed Its efforts today to a campaign of protest against the 15-cruiser bill pending before the Senate as nullifying the American Gov ernment’s renunciation of war as a na* tional policy. First specific opposition to the cruiser bill was voiced during the afternoon session by Mrs, Laura Puffer Morgan, of the National Council for Prevention of War, who declared that the reasons given for increasing the battle fleet of the Navy at this time are all inade quate. “A Navy ‘to support our foreign policy,’ asked by Senator Hale, is a direct denial of the pact whereby we agree to renounce war as a national policy,” she declared. Says It Offsets Pact. Increasing naval construction, she argued, creates international suspicion, and without public confidence, “agree ments, even the anti-war treaty Just ratified by the Senate, are mere scraps of paper.” “We are spending a million dollars a day on our Navy now. without these new ships,” she said, “and we do not need the 15 cruisers to attain parity with the British navy, for although ours is slightly Inferior in cruisers, it is so far ahead in submarines and destroyers that the ratio Is maintained. “We already have building and au thorized 12 destroyers, six large sub marines and eight 10,000-ton cruisers. This program will not be completed until 1932 and will take care of our Immediate needs.” A quite surprising action was taken by the conference this morning In view of its steadfast opposition to war, when it struck from a committee report, reference to the “fallacies of self defense.” as calculated to spread mis understanding of the discussions before the body, which comprises among its groups several organizations of strictly pacifist leanings. The conference adopted a resolution calling for the convening of a fifth Conference on the Cause and Cufe of War in Washington next year, instead of in 1931, as proposed. After sharp discussion it voted down a proposal to hold regional conferences in the place of a national conference this year. Opposition to abandoning next year's conference was voiced by one delegate on the ground that It “would be too pleasing to the Senate.” Will Confer With Aids. Re-elected as national chairman of the conference, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York will confer with her lieutenants on the program during the ensuing year. Because of her recent ill health, she requested the naming of three vice chairmen to assist in con ducting the work of the conference, with which more than 1,000 active delegates are affiliated. The three vice chairmen are Miss Ruth Morgan. Mrs. D. E. Wald and Miss Henrietta Roelofs, all of New York. Two secretaries also were named, in stead of one as heretofore. Miss Josephine Schain of New York was re elected corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Ben Hooper of Wisconsin was chosen recording secretary. Mrs. Edgerton Parsons of New York was elected treasurer. The unity of feeling between Ameri can and European women in the cause of world peace was stressed at today’s sessions. Telegrams of congratulations from Lady Astor, member of the British Parliament, and Miss Kate Courtney, head of the British Women’s Crusade for Arbitration, were received, and greetings from the International Al liance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship were brought In per son by the organization’s vice president. Miss Rosa Manus of Holland. “Peace depends upon women.” wired Lady Astor. "Let us never forget it.” Miss Courtney’s message declared her organization recognized and admired “the magnificent work done by Ameri can women for peace.” Coolidge Affixes 1 His Signature to Kellogg Peace Pact i ? » # Text of Treaty to Prevent ' War Among Nations Is Reproduced.
