OCCUPIES LEAGUE
Rearming Reported Eden
and Litvinoff’s Topic.
Nicaragua Quits.
By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 27.—The German
problem was thrust sharply into the
foreground of discussions among
League of Nations delegates today.
Anthony Eden, British foreign sec
retary, conferred with Foreign Com
missar Maxim Litvinofl of Russia and
it was understood they discussed Ger
many’s rearmament.
Great Britain was said to be uneasy
over Reichsfuehrer Hitler’s failure to
reply to the questionnaire asking his
position on international regulations.
* Danzig Causes Anxiety.
Another element of anxiety was pro
vided by the situation in the Free
City of Danzig, where Albert Forster,
local Nazi leader, issued a statement
attacking Sean Lester, the League’s
high commissioner for Danzig.
While German sources stated For
ster’s attack was only a personal
quarrel with Lester, apprehension was
r roused by his remarks that “the
League and its high commissioner
in Danzig have nothing more to do
with settling differeifces between
Danzig and Poland and their exist
ence on the whole has become su
perfluous.’’
Informed sources indicate a fear
Forster's action was inspired from
Berlin as a prelude to the open es
tablishment of a Nazi dictatorship
in Danzig.
Opinion in Danzig.
“In the Free City of Danzig Itself
Forster's statement was regarded as
a declaration of independence in
tended to remove the supervision of
the League of Nations.’’
The establishment of such a dic
tatorship, said League officials, would
be a violation of the Versailles treaty
and would necessitate immediate
League action.
Yvon Delbos, French finance min
ister, and Joseph Beck, foreign min
ister of Poland, conferred on the
subject of Danzig today.
As for the question of sanctions, now
pushed somewhat into the background,
Italians indicated that as soon as
the League removed its sanctions
from Italy, Italy would reciprocate
by removing her ’’counter-sanctions"
against the majority of League mem
Meanwhile revision of the League
of Nations Covenant was handed to
the Assembly as Council delegates de
clined to begin the proposed reform.
The council held to its original pur
pose of reviewing the Italo-Ethiopian
situation with the list of anti-sanc
tionist nations growing steadily.
Latin American departures from
the League of Nations were swelled
today by the resignation of Nicaragua.
Guatemala, Paraguay. Costa Rica and
Brazil already are outside the fold
and it is reported that Honduras may
follow suit.
Observers suggested Nicaragua’s
withdraw’al indicates an ambition on
the part of Central American states
to set up a Pan-American league of
nations.
Nicaragua's action was taken under
the covenant position authorizing
withdrawal after two years’ notice if
all international obligations are ful
filled.
Informed sources predicted before
the Assembly meets Tuesday so many
member states will have rejected the
war penalties any debate on the can
cellation proposal will have become
needless
From his hotel overlooking the
League palace, Emperor Haile Selas
sie watched the parade away from
sanctions which for eight months have
been the League's “punitive” measures
for Italy’s condemned aggression in
East Africa.
Chile Seeks Reform.
Chile opened the subject of League
reform by telling the council, through
Delegate Manuel Rivas Vicuna, the
Covenant should be reformed to offer
admission to the United States, Ger
many and Japan.
The proposal drew immediate ob
jections. Nicholas Titulesco, Ruman
ian foreign minister, urged rejection
of the suggestion because ’this is not
the time to disarm the League.”
Russia stood beside Chile and the
delegates finally decided to drop the
” debate until the larger assembly meets
next week.
Three new states—Uruguay, Haiti
and Poland—joined Great Britain and
France in the sanctions-scrapping sec
tor. Still others have unofficially sig
nified their intention of lifting the
economic and financial penalties
against the Fascist nation.

Hall Becomes Sea of Pictures
As Roosevelt Is Nominated
Acclamation Victory Signals ISoisy
Demonstration—Hour of Shouting
Follows Nomination Speech.
BY JAMES E. CHINN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. June 27.—Two
thousand portraits of President Roose
velt, like a jack in the box, popped up
in the Philadelphia Municipal Audi
torium early today when the President,
by acclamation, was unanimously
selected to be the party's standard
bearer for another term.
Every one of the 48 State delegations
and those from the possessions of the
United States leaped to the floor with
the Roosevelt pictures as soon as Sen
ator Robinson. Democrat, of Arkansas,
chairman of the convention, announced
the nomination of the President.
The display of the mass of pictures
was only one feature of the climax of
the longest night session of the con
vention. The 3.000 delegates and alter
nates as well as 8.000 spectators In the
galleries greeted Robinson's announce
ment with a deafening outburst of
cheers. Indian war whoops and ordi
nary shouts.
Hour for Speech Celebration.
The demonstration, however, be
cause of the lateness of the hour, did
not compare in length and volume
with the 60-minute celebration yester
day when President Roosevelt was
nominated to succeed himself as the
Nation’s chieftain.
It was about 12:43 a.m . Philadelphia
time, when the convention voted to
suspend its rules and approve of the
President's selection by acclamation.
Immediately the organ blasted "Happy
Days Are Here Again,” and the 3,000
frenzied alternates and delegates ran
for the aisles to stage a demonstration.
| The noise indicator in the convention
I hall went all the way to 100, its limit,
; and remained there for some time.
Senator Robinson, apparently pleased
with the outcome, lit a big cigar and
smiled.
Spectators Sing.
The demonstration lasted about 10
minutes, and Senator Robinson re
cessed the convention. In the 10
minute interim, however, hundreds of
| the delegates marched around the floor,
singing, shouting and cheering. Spec
tators in the half-filled galleries also
joined in the singing.
A more vigorous demonstration was
given Gov. Lehman of New York earlier
j in the proceedings w’hen he stepped
on the platform to second for New
York the nomination of the President.
The New York delegation, the largest
at the convention, led by an all-girl
j drum and bugle corps, started a pro
| cession that continued for 20 minutes.
I The Hawaiian delegation furnished
one of the colorful features of the
convention. After Wililam H. Heen j
of the Hawaiian delegation, wearing a
lei around his neck, had seconded the
nomination of the President a Ha- '
, waiian string orchestra played a na
| tive tune.
Representative Norton of New Jer
sey, chairman of the House District
1 Committee, seconded the nomination
of President Roosevelt delegation, but
the amplifier system failed for the
first time in the midst of her speech.
Microphone trained by her frequent
broadcasts in Washington, Mrs Norton
waited until the amplifiers were re
stored to order before proceeding with
i hei speech.
KNOX PREPARING
POLITICAL DRIVE
-- f
Issues Gravest Since Civil
War Days. He Declares
in New Hampshire.
by the Associatea Press.
MANCHESTER. N. H„ June 27.—
The Republican nominee for Vice
President, Col. Frank Knox of Chicago,
prepared in his Summer home today
for a political campaign which pre
sents, he declared, the gravest issues”
since Civil War days.
Col Knox carried with him the as
surance of the backing of several thou
sand New Hampshire citizens, who
crowded the Municipal Stadium last
night for a rally, welcoming the nomi
nee to the city where he lived for 20
years
Col. Knox shook the hands of hun
dreds of persons as they hied by the
platform for 20 minutes.
The great issue ahead, Knox as
serted, "is the age-old battle of free
men to safeguard their freedom."
He praised the Republican presi
dential nominee. Gov. Alf M. Landon
of Kansas, as a “practical economist,”
and “a man who never ceases to be
practical in his liberalism.”
Then he pledged himself to ‘‘rigid
economy." a “budget swiftly brought
into balance and kept there," the
preservation of local self-government
»nd the maintenance of the judicial
authority “in its full integrity,"

.WORKERS ARE FED
Police Take Supplies
Through Picket Lines as
Strife Continues.
Py tne Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH. Ohio. June 27.—
A group of workers besieged in the
wire mill of the strike-closed Wheel
ing Steel Corp. plant ate regular
meals today but did not know when
their food supply would be replenished
again.
Encountering no opposition. 16
sheriff's deputies went through the ;
picket lines late yesterday with food !
for the workers who had lived on j
crackers for 36 hours.
However, neither the sheriff's office
nor company officials would say when
another attempt to send food in
would be made. Nor would they say
how much food they took in yester
day or how many men were in the
wire mill.
Pood shipments to some 200 guards
and workers inside the huge plant
stopped Tuesday when strikers and
guards battled around a train carry
ing supplies from the main plant to
the Isolated wire mill. One guard
was killed.
Efforts to prevent new outbreaks
of violence continued today, when
Sheriff Arthur Oajces added to the
65 special deputies.
Landon Recuperates on Ranch
From Nomination Drive Strain
ey me Associated Press.
ESTES PARK. Colo., June 27.—Gov.
Alf M. Landon of Kansas and his
family voted today for the “simple
life."
The Republican presidential nomi
nee, Mrs. Landon, the three children—
Peggy Anne, 19; Nancy Jo, nearly 4,
and John Cobb, 2!i—and Mrs. S. E.
Cobb. Mrs Landon’s mother, are vaca
tioning here on a secluded ranch in
Rocky Mountain National Park.
The early mountain dawn is apt
to find the Governor trout fishing
along the banks of Cow Creek
The first few days of relaxation
have noticeably brightened the twinkle
in his dark brown eyes and smoothed
the lines his face acquired during the
last few weeks' strain.
Nancy Jo and John Cobb, likewise,
Ik
are early risers, and that, Mrs. Landon
explained, calls for early hours for the
rest of the household.
Ranch life Is new to these young
sters, and they have found many things
to see and do. There are elk and deer
to watch as they come down to the
stream in the morning. There's a
white bunny—Nancy Jo’s new pet—to
feed. There are some baby chicks—
John's Interest—to tend.
It is certain, if John has anything
to say about it, he is going fishing.
Mrs. Landon. an expert Nimrod, also
intends to fish. “But a little later,”
she said. “Right now. all I want to do
is rest and read."
Bare headed and in riding clothes,
the Governor was driven here for his
first press conference by Peggy Anns,
who also was is riding togs.
NEW STUDY BEGUN
ON HEALTH PLANT
All Activities of Institute
Here Due to Be Shifted
to Bethesda Unit.
Treasury Department officials are
making a new study of the ‘proposed
development of the new National In
stitute of Health near Bethesda.
Bids already have been opened for
the first building, a small animal
house, but the question of other build
ings. which recently were authorized
by additional allocation of funds, is
the subject of fresh study by archi
tects. medical experts and others con
cerned.
Money for the small animal house,
plans for which were completed long
ago. come from regular appropriations
of the Public Health Service, but $1,
363.000 recently was made available
for further development by the first
deficiency act.
Low bid for construction of the
animal house of $138,835 was made
by Lee T. Turner of this city. A sup
plemental bid, omitting certain me
chanical equipment, was $130,651.
Contract has not yet been let for this
work. The building would be of
stone.
When the new National Institute
of Health is completed on the 45
acre tract of land near Bethesda, the
plan Is to move all activities of the
institute from Washington to the new
center. This would vacate two build
ing of the institute adjacent to the
Naval Hospital, and would make way
for transfer of these buildings to the
Naval Hospital. Such a project has
been under consideration, and dis
cussed publicly for some time.
The funds now available, however,
are only to start construction on more
buildings at the farm donated to the
Government by Luke I. Wilson,
fronting the Rockville pike. The
move to the country by the National
Institute of Health, and the transfer
of its buildings at Twenty-fifth and E
streets to Naval Hospital must, there
fore, await completion of the new
center. It also works in with plans
for the new Naval Hospital, according
to reliable indications today. A co
operative program has been com
pletely worked out and agreed to by
the Treasury and Navy Departments.

of people’ was no idle phrase making.
Their only regret is that the eight
years during which he is to serve as
President must be interrupted by the
formality of giving him a vote of
ratification and confidence.”
Delegates Are Tardy.
An hour and a half after the time
set for the convention meeting today
10 a m., few delegates had arrived at
the hall. Chairman Robinson of the
convention and Chairman Farley of
the Democratic National Committee
had scouts out rounding up the sleep
ing men and women, members of the
convention, many of whom had not
heard the announcement made at 1
o'clock this morning that the con
vention would reconvene at an early
hour.
It was 11:30 o’clock when Chair
man Robinson finally called the con
vention to order. The convention im
mediately began with routine business,
although only a few hundred delegates
and visitors were in the hall.
A resolution was adopted authoriz
ing Robinson to send a telegram to
the President telling him that he had
been renominated and saying that the
contention would await him at Frank
lin Field tonight.
Resolution Praises Farley.
A resolution offered by Senator
Guffey of Pennsylvania, praising
Chairman Farley of the Democratic
National Committee and pledging the
faith of the convention in his leader
ship, was adopted.
A meeting of the Democratic Na
tional Committee is set for 2 o'clock '
this afternoon.
“Big Jim” Farley is expected to ;
continue chairman of the National
Committee, to run the President's
campaign again. No announcement
that he will resign as Postmaster Gen
eral will come from Farley. It will
come from the President himself when
the time is ripe. The impression here
is that no announcement will be made
in Philadelphia, but after the con
vention and the notification of the
President is all over and the President
has returned to Washington.
Officials Are Thanked.
Resolutions thanking the officials
of the convention were quickly ap
proved. William Jennings Bryan, jr.,
a delegate from California, offered a
resolution thanking Charles A. Michel
Fon, director of publicity for the
Democratic National Committee, for
orilliant work in combating the at- :
tacks of the opposition press, during
the last four years, and for setting j
forth so correctly the aims and work
of the Roosevelt administration.
The thanks of the convention to
Col. Edwin A Halsey, sergeant-at
arms, for his efficient handling of the
convention was adopted.
The names of the members of the i
Democratic National Committee se
lected by the State delegations to
serve for the next four years, were
formally presented to the National
Committee. For the District of Co
lumbia the national committeeman is
Malcolm S. McConihe) who succeeds
the veteran John F. Costello, and the
national commltteewoman is Mrs. J.
Borden Harriman, a re-election.
Roosevelt Renominated.
President Roosevelt was renominated
by acclamation late last night, after a
day of oratory in the convention hall
that broke all precedents Representa
tives of all 48 States, the District of
Columbia and the Territories, climbed
upon the platform and made second
ing speeches for the President, whose
name had been placed in nomination
by Judge John E. Mack.
The delegates listened—some of the
time—to more than half a hundred
speeches, all about their standard
bearer. Some of the time they shouted
and paraded. They left no doubt about
one thing. They wish Franklin D.
Roosevelt re-elected.
Midnight slipped by, and still the
seconding speeches poured forth.
Chairman Robinson of the convention
urged the speakers to clip their ad
dresses. Frank Murphy, United States
Commissioner for the Philippines, actu
ally did so. He used only one sentence,
and that not a long one.
Virgin Islands Grateful.
The Virgin Islands was the last to
be heard from. It’s representative
praised the Roosevelt administration,
which had obtained repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and brought
prosperty back to the islands. They
make rum.
When at 12:45 ajn. eoertvfllng
speeches had been made for the dele
gations of all 48 States and the Terri
tories and the District of Columbia,
Chairman Robinson recognized Tom
Berry, delegate from South Dakota.
Berry moved a suspension of the
rules of the convention and that the
convention nominate Franklin D
Roosevelt by acclamation.
The weary delegates shouted a wild
approval. This meant the vote by
States on the nomination would not
have to be taken.
No •‘Noes’’ Voiced.
The chairman put the question and
the ‘ ayes” swelled out in a great roar.
There were no "noes.”
Senator Robinson declared that
Roosevelt had been nominated by ac
clamation and that he had become the
nominee of the convention for Presi
dent of the convention.
This was the signal for another
demonstration. But it was all over in a
few minutes and the convention ad
journed.
The last act, the most dramatic of
all. in this great gathering of the
Democratic clans takes place tonight
at Franklin Field. President Roose
velt will be notified formally of his
nomination and will deliver his speech
of acceptance. A few minutes before
this event. Vice President Garner will
receive notification of his renomina
tion and make his acceptance speech.
A huge crowd, 100,000 strong, is ex
pected to attend the ceremonies.
Want Lehman to Run.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New
York had it made very clear to him
that the Roosevelt leaders and the
Democrats of the country generally
are anxious to have him run again for
Governor of the Empire State next
November. When the New Yorker
stepped up to second the nomination
of the President last night, the con
vention did everything but renominate
him for Governor of New York. It
did its best to impress upon the Gov
ernor that the Democrats consider
his renomination imperative—if the
Democrats are to carry the State for
the national ticket. Lehman weeks
ago said that he would not be a candi
date—that he planned to retire from
public office.
Hundreds of banners bearing the
name of Lehman—some of them say
ing ‘Draft Lehman"—appeared in
every part of the huge hall. A wild
demonstration ensued. The delegates
from New York, headed by a band,
lead the procession about the hall, in
which the delegates of other States
joined. For a quarter of an hour
there was pandemonium. And when
at last Chairman Robinson of the
convention had persuaded the crowd
to stop its shouting, the din still con
tinued to such a degree that the New
Yorker could scarcely be heard.
"I thank you with all my heart,’’
said Lehman in answer to the plau
dits. He did not say, however, that
he would run again. Those who should
know insist that he will make no fur
ther announcement of his plans now.
It may be that President Roosevelt
himself, when he comes to Philadel
phia tonight, will add his plea to that
of the convention.
The convention, with an eye to the
45 electoral votes of New York next
November, put on a show for the
Governor such as has never before
been staged in a national convention
except for a presidential nomination.
Scores Republicans.
President Roosevelt was hailed as a
great humanitarian by Gov. Lehman
and the Republican leadership in the
Nation and in New York State was
denounced as inimical to all social
legislation.
The New York Governor spoke of
Roosevelt as "my old chief and dear
friend.” Lehman served as Lieuten
ant Governor during the four years
the President was chief executive of
New York.
"I learned to know a man,” said
Lehman, ‘‘to whom wealth means
nothing save that it affords greater
opportunity for helpfulness: a man
who believes that power is valuable
only as a means to help the weak and
the less fortunate.”
The principles which have governed
Roosevelt in his administration of na
tional affairs, Lehman continued, were
not new to him when he entered the
White House. He had carried them
into his administration of New York.
Roosevelt, he said, was the first to
institute participation in unemploy
ment relief and old age assistance in
New York, when he was Governor.
“There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind,” said Lehman, "that there
is a determined effort cm the part of
Republican political leadership to dis
credit, tear down and block the
great movement for social betterment
of which our President has been the
spearhead and the Inspiration.”
He said that the minimum wage
law of New York, recently declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, had been bitterly opposed by
Republicans, even though they may
now give lip service to the principle
of protecting women and children in
Industry. The Republican platform
adopted in Cleveland, Lehman con
tinued, clearly Indicates that if the
Republican party gains control of
Government next November, the Na
tion-wide establishment of unemploy
ment insurance will be completely de
stroyed. He quoted the following:
"We propose to encourage adoption
by State* and territories of honest
practical measures for meeting the
problems of unemployment Insurance.
The unemployment insurance and
old-age annuity sections of the pres
ent social security act are unwork
able.”
To Gov. Lehman, this was a cer
tain indication that the Republicans
intend to kill the social security act
in large part.
New York’s delegation this morning
adopted a resolution calling upon Gov.
Lehman to accept renomination.
"Gov. Lehman, we have not failed
you; do not, we ask, fail us.” said the
resolution, which was presented by
Herbert Bayard Swope and seconded
by Caroline O'Day.
It is possible that the resolution will
be presented to the national con
vention during today’s session.
The New Yorkers’ resolution set
forth the fact that the campaign this
year in New York State is closely
bound up with the natidnal campaign.
“The issue in the coming election is
squarely centered on Franklin Roose
velt and those aligned with him in the
battle for popular rights,” it said.
' There is no individual in all America
who, next to the President person
ifiies those principles than Herbert
Lehman.”
Mrs. Norton Speaks.
Among the other seconding speeches
for Roosevelt was one by Representa
tive Mary T. Norton of New Jersey.
The women of America, she said, look
upon the New Deal as a "square deal.”
She said:
"The women of America will tell i
you. as they have told me, that the
New Deal is a square deal for them,”
said Mrs. Norton. "They have gained
a new freedom because a just Presi
dent, in appointing them to high of
fices and paces of distinction has
given them a new courage and faith
in themselves, a desire to go for
ward with the men of the country to
a more secure and greater happiness
and prosperity.
”1 know I express the sentiment of
the women of America when I say
to you we are ready to follow the lead
ership of one who has placed human
values above all else, one who has
dedicated his life to serve the peo
ple of a great Nation.
-"New Jersey pledges her loyalty
to the fullest extent and is ready to
march forward with the New Deal,
and to elect another Senator to up
hold the New Deal.”
Earlier in her speech Mrs. Norton
praised Mrs. Roosevelt in the fol
lowing words:
"May I at this time pay my tribute
of respect and affection to one of
the most understanding and finest
women I have ever met, the Lady
Eleanor.”
Mrs. Norton defended the record
of the Roosevelt administration dur
ing the past three years, declaring
that "when people are hungry they j
want food, not promises.”
FACTORIES RECORD
EMPLOYMENT GAINS
Increase in April and May Con
trary to Usual Seasonal
Trend.
By the Associated Press.
An increase in factory employment
from mid-May. contrary to the usual
seasonal trend, was reported today
by the Federal Reserve Board In Its
monthly summary.
The board reported an upswing
in the volume of Industrial produc
tion registered in April was main
tained last month, and that the
seasonally adjusted index for May
was 101 per cent of the 1923-5 average,
1 per cent over April.
An increase in the durable goods
industries in May was recorded by
the board, which also said there
had been a larger output of lumber
and steel, with the increase partly
offset by a reduction in automobile
output.
MANSLAUGHTER LAID

--
Percy Quoted as Saying He Struck
Victim After Being
Insulted.
Ev the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, June 27.—Police

MaJ. Ernest W.
Brown, superin
tendent of police,
announced there
would be no fur
ther investigation
of the case, ”un
evidence is ~ —
presented to Just- W""‘“ ** E‘,M*‘
ify such action."
‘‘At this time,” Brown added, “we
have no more evidence."
Shortly after it became known that
the district attorney’s office had
recommended Kappel's release. Mrs.
Kappel telephoned ninth precinct
police to the effect that she was
afraid of her husband.
Officers on the beat covering Mr*
Kappel's neighborhood were instructed
to "keep an eye" on her home, at
1119 Orren street northeast.
Kappel, who has been arrested more
than 30 times on charges ranging from
disorderly conduct to transporting
whiskey, was held by a coroner's Jury
and indicted for the murder of Miss
Lynch.
The indictment was nolle pressed
by Assistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb, who explained there was
insufficient evidence to prove to a
trial jury that Kappel shot the tele
phone operator.
Miss Lynch was found with a
bullet through her brain, lying on
the kitchen floor of her home, at
918 Fourth street northeast, during
the early morning hours of November
27, 1935. A smashed chair and
bruises on her legs evidenced a
struggle. A revolver which lay near
her feet was later identified as be
longing to Kappel. according to police,
Kappel, who roomed at the house,
called police, reporting he found Miss
Lynch dead when he returned home.
He was arrested, however, when
others told of previous quarrels be
tween the two.
He was held by a coroner’s jury,
and the case was presented to the
grand jury, which indicted him.*
In commenting on dismissal of the
indictment, Maj. Brown said:
"We develop, investigate, obtain all
information possible and present cases
to prosecuting officers and the courts.
At that point our duty is completed.’*
