.Brazilian Envoy Asks Ex
planation of Tardy Treaty
Action.
1) the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES. December 9—Os
waldo Aranha, Brazil's Ambassador to
Washington, today challenged Ameri
can republics which have not ratified
•11 five existing inter-American peace
treaties to explain their tardiness.
The soft-spoken ^ranha made his
demand before the inter-American
‘ peace Conference’s Committee on
Peace Organization.
That group was debating a resolu
tion by United States Secretary of
State Cordell Hull which urged all the
countries represented at the parley
to complete ratification of the accords,
•ome of which have been in existence
for many years.
“It is useless,” Aranha declared, “for
Inter-American conferences to make
and sign treaties unless all the Amer
ican states ratify them.”
Treaties Not Ratified.
The five pacts are the Gondra treaty
to avoid or prevent conflicts between
the American states, signed at San
tiago, Chile, in 1923; the 1928 Kellogg
Briand peace pact, the 1929 Concilia
tion Convention, signed at Washing
ton; the Inter-American Arbitration
Convention of 1929. and the non
aggression and anti-war treaty of 1933,
which was drawn up by Argentine
Foreign Minister Carlos Saavendra
* Lamas.
(The United States has ratified all
these treaties.)
Some committeemen proposed the
Inclusion of other treaties in the reso
lution for ratification by all American
republics and the committee adjourned
to study the question.
Bolivia proposed to the conference
»n inter-American organization for
maintenance of peace, advocating im
position of sanctions against recognized
aggressor nations.
Uncertainty over the position of Ar
gentina on proposed neutrality and
international security programs, how
ever, caused concern in some delega
tions for what the conference might
accomplish.
Carlos Saavedra Lamas, Argentine
foreign minister and permanent chair
man of the parley, issued a statement
describing the fears as "ridiculous.”
He was reported undecided between
the United States' plan for inter
American neutrality in a war between
American republics and Brazil's plan,
as yet not submitted, for an inter
America'1 security pact. A third alter
native appeared to be for Argentina
to shape its policies independently.
Bolivia's proposal would bind ad
herents to meet immediately should
a state of war exist between two or
more American republics, identify the
aggressor without delay, and apply
severe sanctions against it.
Punitive measures, the proposal
recommended, would include suspen
sion of diplomatic relations; cessation
of all land, air and water communica
tions: prohibition of any loans or
credits, and isolation from postal and
telegraphic communications.
By the terms of the Bolivian project,
any nation would be adjudged an
aggressor which invaded the territory
of another, even if war were not de
clared. or which attacked another by
land, sea or air.
Observers said the proposal also I
would condemn a nation as an aggres- I
sor if it aided armed bands invading i
another's territory or if it refused to
submit a dispute which might lead to
war to pacific settlement.

Luke Christopher, Heroic Flyer
Of Coast Guard, Is Laid to Rest
Pilot of Coast Guard Who Died to Save
Comrades Buried in Arlington.
Colleagues Pay Final Trihute.
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON,
Aviation Editor of The S'ar.
Today in Arlington National Ceme
tery they buried Luke Christopher
who gave his life that another might
live. While his comrades of the Army
Navy and Coast Guard, who knew and
loved him through 19 years of service
stood about the open grave, taps for a
great hero rang over Virginia hills.
If there is a Valhalla where heroes
gather and where the gods do honor te
those who have held duty above life,
then today those valiant spirits of the
ages are paying tribute to another who
has died gloriously.
The sagas of the gallant hold no
brighter page than that which tells of
the death of Luke Christopher, avia
tion pilot, Coast Guard. He, who often
had faced death without flinching, died
alone after a gallant fight Through
storm, Christopher was flying with a
stricken sailor to a hospital ashore,
when he was forced down into the
raging Atlantic.
His battle lost, trapped in the cock
pit. Christopher sat calmly at the idle
controls of his flying boat as it settled,
nose down. Around him, slowly, rose
the icy waters of the Atlantic. He
sat and watched it rise to his knees,
to his waist, to his chest. And so he
died.
Three Are Rescued.
The stricken sailor and two members
of Christopher's crew were rescued.
The aspect of death was no stranger
to Lieut. Luke Christopher. For 19
years he had been flying, much of the
time as a test pilot—most dangerous
of all flying jobs. Trained as an Army
pilot during the World War, he flew
with the Navy, patroling those Atlantic
coastal waters which on Sunday
claimed him as victim. Called to test
a new pursuit airplane for the Na
tional Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics, in "terminal velocity” dives,
Christopher faced death lor the pro
tection of those who would fly that
type of airplane and its successors.
He subjected his body to centrifugal
force so terriffic that it is estimated
his weight was increased to 1,600
pounds. He survived, but he landed
bleeding from the eyes, his hearing
forever impaired and his whole nervous
system shaken. He never was able to
qualify again as a test pilot, but his
heart and courage remained unshaken.
He was modest to a fault and. as a
result, the public never heard of many
of the exploits of his splendid career.
He flew virtually every type of military
and civil aircraft which has been de
veloped since the World War with
the single exception of special racing
types. He was one of the very few'
men privileged to fly all types of mili
tary airplanes. Army, Navy or Marine
Corps. His fellow flyers looked on him
as one of the greatest ever to pull a
helmet buckle under his chin.
Joins Mighty Heroes.
There are mighty heroes whose
memories men cherish and whose
deeds have been sung through the
ages. There is Leonidas, who stood
firm at Thermopylae until his 300
! Spartans fell around him under a sea
of Xerxes’ Persians before he, too,
I fell. There is Roland who held the
pass at Roncesvalles while the
Saracen hordes smashed down his
heroes and who, overwhelmed, wound
ed to death, alone, hid beneath him
his horn and his sword, Durindana,
to save them from coward hands,
turned his face to the foe and died.
There are many, many tales of raw'
courage which has carried men to
glory and death. In Christopher's time
there have been such men as his fel
low Army pilot, Frank Luke, who,
wounded, shot down behind the
enemy lines, called upon to surrender,
stood beside his plane, pistol in hand,
and fought a battalion until he fell.
With the battle clang in their ears,
the fever of conflict in their hearts,
died the valiant company of heroes of
legend, of fable and of history.
Death Came Slowly.
There were no drums, no martial
music, no flags, no battle fervor for
Christopher. He had none of these to
bouy him up. There was for him but
the knowledge that he had fought his
old antagonist, death, for the life of
a fellow man and had lost. There
was now nothing but the thought of
duty to sustain him as death came
slowly.
The private life of one man, says
Emerson, shall be “more sweet and
serene in its influence to its friend,
than any kingdom in history.” That
might have been an epitaph for Luke
Christopher.
Protests Prompt
Security Board To
Hide Real Names
Wayward Husbands and
Career Women Pro
mote Policy.
By the Associated Press.
Shakespeare’s query “What’s in a
name?” is causing the Social Security
Board plenty of work.
So many applicants for Federal
pension accounts who have changed
their names were reluctant to put
down the original ones that the board
promised only the assumed names
would be disclosed.
The real ones must be submitted
but will be locked in a vault, it was
explained yesterday.
Much of the hue and cry came from
actors and actresses, who said their
baptismal names were their own busi
ness—not Uncle Sam’s.
Former convicts complained they
would 106e their Jobs if their bosses
found out their identity. Business
women using their maiden names pro
tested they would be discharged if
their employers found they were mar
ried. Divorced husbands who had
skipped alimony said they might be
located. Other persons said their se
cret marriages would be disclosed.
So the board decided the reluctant
citizens should fill out the blanks
with the real names, but attach a
memorandum giving their present
names. Only the latter are to be
put on identification cards.
Grocery Store Sobbed.
Annie Nalman, proprietor of a gro
cery store at :501 First street, was
robbed of $5 last night by two colored
men who threatened her with a pistol
as she was about to clow shop. The
men then fled.

FARM REGULATION
'
Com Acreage to Be Limited
in Eleven States Under
Modified Law.
In a modified form, the agricultural
regulation outlawed by the Supreme
Court, will be applied again next year
to the 11 chief corn-growing States
of the country, the A. A. A. disclosed
today in its announcement of the ten
tative 1937 *500,000,000 soil conserva
tion program.
A limit on corn acreage will be es
tablished on farms in the parts of
those North Central States and Kan
sas, where corn 1s the major crop. If
the limit is exceeded, a deduction will
be made for each acre over the limit
at the rate paid for diversion from the
general soil-depleting base.
A. A. A. officials said this new plan
is an attempt to block the natural
tendency of farmers to increase pro
duction next year. Drought clipped
about a billion bushels from the 1936
com yield, and the grain has soared
in price. By limiting the acreage, offi
cials hope to prevent price-depressing
surpluses.
If farmers follow the program,
Claude Wickard, A. A. A. chief for the
com-belt States, said acreage would be
cut from 54,500,000 to 54,200,000 in
1937. He predicted normal weather
would produce 2,500.000,000 bushels of
corn, more than a billion bushels over
1936.
Base nan Mmnariiy.
Tills corn-belt restriction is similar
to a base plan operating this year for
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sugar cane,
sugar beets and rice.
The chief difference between the
soil conservation crop limitation and
the crop limitation of the old A. A. A.
is that emphasis now is put on reward
for the positive action of devoting a
certain amount of land to soil-building
practices or crops. Under the old or
der the payments were made for the
more negative action of keeping a cer
tain acreage unplanted to marketable
crops.
A powerful group of American farm
ers meanwhile threatened the quiet of
the Department of Agriculture with
its demands for a return to the orig
inal progi. with its more open
handed distribuuo 1 of money. These
planters are members of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, which opened
a three-day convention in Los Angeles,
Calif., this morning.
Edward R. O'Neal, president of the
federation, has been in disagreement
with Secretary Wallace for two
months. When Wallace called farm
leaders to Washington to sound them
out on their stand on crop insurance,
O'Neal told the Secretary he wanted
the old agricultural adjustment and
was not interested in insurance, which
is a modified sort of crop control.
The farmers’ chief objection to the
new program is that the rain of money
is too light, although every one of the
j country’s more than 6,000,000 planters
is eligible to participate. The rub
comes with the fact that there will be
no large individual benefit payments
for the raisers of the main crops.
Two Practices Required.
The program emphasizes land sal
vation and awards money to farmers
who follow one of two practices:
1. Shift from general depleting
crops and cotton, tobacco and peanuts.
2. Build up the soil.
The man with the smallest farm in
the United States would have an op
portunity to earn at least $20 by co
operation with the suggested program,
which is $10 more than the minimum
for the current year. The A. A. A.
pointed out, however, that Congress
has yet made no money available for
the program.
"The program follows the pattern
cut this year, but. nevertheless, many
important changes have been made."
H. R. Tolley, adjustment administra
tor said.
Although the A. A. A. took no for
mal poll of farmers before announc
ing the program—as was done under
the old law—the officials tried to fit
the plan around the wishes of farm
ers as expressed at countless com
munity meetings.
DEMAND FOR COINS
SPEEDS U. S. MINTS
Stamping Machines on 24-Hour
Basis for Last Six Weeks,
Bureau Reports.
By the Associated Press.
The stamping machines in the Na
tion’s mints clattered at the liveliest
pace In history today to meet an un
precedented demand for small coins.
The Mint Bureau reported its coin
manufacturing plants have been oper
ating on a 24-hour basis for the last
six weeks, turning out millions of dol
lars in bright new dimes, nickels and
other coins.
Officials suggested that State sales
taxes, increased business and the
recent flood of dividend checks prob
ably were contributing to the demand.
Dividend checks, they explained,
usually are for odd amounts, necessi
tating change.
For the first five months of this
fiscal year (July to November), the
bureau said, coinage of pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters and half
dollars totaled $27,939,000, compared
with $17,195,000 in the same period
last year and only $6,123,000 in the 1
similar 1929 months.
The largest increase was In coinage
of nickels, aggregating $4,621,000 for
the first five months of this year, com
pared with $1,926,000 in the same
period a year ago. and $1,206,000 in
the same 1929 months.
Police Help Bandit Suspect
To Marry Maryland Girl
Carefully guarded by detectives, Jack
Joseph Kura, 20, alleged member of
the “boots and spurs gang,” was re
leased from a sixth precinct cell late
yesterday long enough to be married to
Miss Hilda Crampton, 18, of Edmon
ston, Md.
Lieut. John Fowler and two members
of the robbery squad were present
when the wedding ceremony was per
formed in the chapel of St. Dominic’s
Church, by Rev. Joseph l‘\ Beever.
Father Gives Consent.
Earlier, the detectives accompanied
Kura to District Court, where a mar
riage license was obtained after the
consent of the youth’s father, neces
sary because he was under age, was
given.
Kura and his bride were together
only for the duration of the ceremony,
the prisoner being hurried from a
aide door et the church and taken
*
back to the precinct immediately after
the wedding.
Back in his cell, Kurz, deprived of
a new necktie purchased for his wed
ding, was served a special supper
after it developed attendants had not
prepared his regular meal because they
did not think he was coming back.
Dispensation Obtained.
The wedding, delayed Monday until
dispensation could be given by Arch
bishop Michael J. Curley of Balti
more, was staged in the chapel to
allow the couple to escape the stigma
of being married in a police station.
The special dispensation was neces
sary since Kurz is a Catholic and his
bride a Protestant.
Kurz is under indictment with Paul
Burger. 19, and William Beck, 21, for
the robbery of aT street market. The
trio also is alleged to have confessed
other crimes, including the abduction
of a Fort Myar sentry.

Army Flyer Believes First
Advices of Heavy Casual
ties Are Exaggerated.
By the Associated Press.
MANILA, Philippine Islands, De
cember 9.—Divergent stories of the
extent of floods which swept rich Ca
gayan Valley came today from United
States and Philippine Army officers
making the first survey of the stricken
area.
"Thousands of people are missing,”
said Capt. Victor Bilbao of the Phil
ippine Army.
‘‘I think the reports of great loss of
life are exaggerated,” said Lieut.
George Hansen, United States Army.
“Isabella Province experienced the
biggest flood in its history,” Capt.
Bilbao reported from Tuguegaro, cap
ital of adjacent Cagayan Province.
"Hundreds of houses along the Ca
gayan River here were carried away.
Thousands of people are missing.”
Thousands Reported Lost.
His report was similar to first ad
vices of the Philippine Army, report
ing thousands dead and missing.
These were doubted by Lieut. Han
sen when he returned from an eight
hour survey light.
Only 27 bodies had been reported
recovered.
Lieut. Hansen said flood waters
have subsided throughout the valley,
leaving indications the river spread 2
miles beyond its banks in places. He
saw no evidence the torrent had wiped
out entire barrios, suburban clusters of
huts, but the aerial survey clearly in
dicated many houses were carried
away.
“I think the reports of great loss of
life are exaggerated.” he said, ‘‘but
I’m not sure as I made only one
landing. Undoubtedly there were con
siderable casualties.”
Proclamation Issued.
Prom a ship in the China Sea en
route to Kongkong. Commonwealth
President Manuel Quezon declared a
state of calamity exists in Cagayan
Valley and typhoon-stricken prov
inces. He issued a proclamation de
signed to prevent profiteering.
Sixty towns and villages in the rich
valley northeast of Manila were re
ported inundated by the treacherous
Cagayan River, whose waters rushed
over its banks as the result of two
weeks of heavy rain. Thousands were
said to have been trapped as they
slept and swept toward the sea last
Friday.
The Cagayan’s rampage followed a
typhoon, centered south of Manila, in
Camarines Sur Province, where Red
Cross workers reported at least 10
persons killed, thousands made home
less and crops destroyed.
Recent Storm Toll.
Only six weeks ago a storm left a
known toll of 500 dead and a missing
list of about 1.000.
From Aparri. at the mouth of the
Cagayan, came reports the current
was so strong boats could not enter
the river. Six fishermen were believed
to have drowned when they attempted
to cross the racing stream. Twenty
bodies were found In the town of
Cauayan, about 100 miles inland.
Entire families were caught in the
swirling waters. Live stock was car
ried away. Crops were destroyed.
Communication systems were wrecked.
Officials expressed doubt they would
ever learn the full death toll.
BOLLING GRAND JURY
CALLED FOR MONDAY
Six Summoned for Special Term
to Investigate Death of
Roommate.
B* the Associated Press.
FREDERICKSBURG, Vc„ Decem
ber 9.—Judge Frederick W. Coleman
today set Monday as the date for a
special grand Jury to consider an in
dictment against M. Landon Boll
ing, under arrest here charged with
the murder of his friend and room
mate, George Carter, in their apart
ment last week.
Six grand jurors have been sum
moned to meet Monday afternoon to
inquire into the case.
Carter was stabbed and shot to
death and the body left in the bath
tub in a manner indicating suicide.
Bolling first told police that Carter
had shot himself, but later officers
said he signed a confession admitting
that he had killed Carter in an argu
ment concerning a woman.
Commonwealth's Attorney W. B. F.
Cole had not drawn up the bill of
indictment today, but it is believed
that he will press a charge of first
degree murder.
W. K. Goolrick has been retained
as counsel for Bolling.

Stabilization
(Continued Prom First Page.)
ltal inflows to domestic economy Is two
fold. When the “alien funds’’ enter
the country they tend to increase prices
and expand credit. Sudden withdrawal
might exert strong downward pressure
on both prices and credit.
The Inward movement of foreign
capital is measured largely by gold
imports. The Treasury now pays for
these In cash, reimbursing itself
through issuance of certificates
against the purchased gold.
Under plans being studied, the
stabilization fund would be authorized
to borrow to pay for the imports.
Thus, when gold flowed in.,it would
take funds from the money market
equal to the inflow.
Officials said this would offset in
flationary effects of an inflow on do
mestic credit. Conversely, deflationary
effects of an outflow could be nullified
if the fund paid back the money it
had borrowed.
The borrowing probably could be
handled through issuance of Treasury
bills, informed sources said, in a
manner similar to that now employed
by the British fund.
Foreign capital in this country is
estimated by Government experts at
$7,200,000,000, of which more than
$2,200,000,000 has come in since Jan
uary 1, 1935. The influx since last
July 1 has been about $500,000,000.

BANKER APPEALS
Chase Head Asks Business
and Finance Get Behind
Administration.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 9.—Winthrop
W. Aldrich, chairman of the board
of the Chase National Bank at New
York, says “The business and finan
cial community as a whole should get
vigorously behind the administration
in its efforts to restore foreign trade."
He told the Illinois Manufacturers’
| Association last night he saw four
possible benefits from the administra
tion efforts.
They were (1) increased tariff re
turns, (2) possibility of collecting
! some of the war debts, (3) saving of
benefits paid to farmers to compensate
them for the loss of foreign markets,
(4) a consequent end of Federal relief
: expenditures for idle farm tenants
and workers.
"I raise the question." he said,
“whether there is any other way in
which we could so painlessly con
tribute far over a billion dollars to

TRY THIS WAY TO
QUICKLY RELIEVE
ECZEMA ITCHING
If your skin is broken out with
"fiery” or "weeping” eczema, you
want to relieve the intolerable itch
ing and burning as quickly as pcs*
sible. Resinol Ointment does this
and also combats the irritation
caused by eczema—its oily base be
ing ideal for penetrating the outer
layers of the skin and securing
deeper action.
Wash the affected parts with
warm water and Resinol Soap. It
is especially suited to tender skin
soaps containing too much alkali
may irritate. After washing off
scales and crusts, pat dry with a
soft cloth. Do not rub.
Apply a thin layer of Resinol
Ointment, letting it remain for sev
eral hours. Apply again liberally at
bedtime leaving on all night. The
longer Resinol is in contact with
the skin, the more good it does.
Buy Resinol Soap and Ointment
in any drug store. Sample free.
