QUIT RAYON PLANT
Peery Hopes Move Will Lead
to Early Settlement
at Covington.
Bs the Associated Press.
COVINGTON, Va., April 8 — Evacu
ation of the Covington plant of thei
Industrial Rayon Corp. by “ait-in”
strikers was a source of “gratification”
today to Gov. Peery, who expressed the
hope it would lead to an early settle
ment.
"It seems to me,” the Governor
said, “that the move will promote
more friendly relations between the
employes and the employer, and both
shonld approach a settlement in a
more friendly and co-operative spirit.”
Manager Surprised.
Charles H. Dasher, manager of the
plant, who said the evacuation by
160 employes under the leadership of
Robert Gaffney, U. T. W. organizer,
came as a “surprise” to him, also
expressed the opinion the development
might contribute to a strike settlement.
He added, however, he did not know
What position corporation officials at
the Cleveland home office would take,
or if negotiations would be under
taken.
Gaffney, in active charge of the
strike, now in its tenth day, said
there was no reason to expect “any
trouble” and that a "peaceable picket
ing of the plant will now be carried
on.”
Less than 20 pickets watched the
plant gates last night after the work
ers had returned to their homes and
the tenor of the “friendly” sit-down
apparently was unchanged by the re
versal of methods.
The union leaders have called a
public mass meeting in the Alleghany
Court House for tonight when a dis
cussion of the strike situation is
planned. County authorities, leaders
said, have granted permission to use
the public building.
Blossoms
(Continued Prom First Page.)
Predicted warmer weather will bring
out the full beauty of the blossoms by
the week end and thousands are ex
pected to turn out to see the blooms
on Sunday.
Hotel managers announced they
were either already accommodating
capacity crowds, Gr reservations filling
their establishments had been made.
Railroad, bus and air lines reported
an increased business into Washing
ton, while Washington Tourist Camp
heads said they would have no avail
able room by nightfall.
The spirit of the festival was evident
throughout the city. Some business
establishments put on cherry blossom
displays, while some held cherry blos
som sales and named special refresh
ment concoctions in honor of the
colorful event.
Fountains Turned On.
As a special tribute to the blossom
festival, the National Capital Parks
office turned on most of the fountains
In the park system. Conspicuous
among them was the Rainbow Foun
tain at the Lincoln Memorial Reflect
ing Pool. It began operation at 10
o’clock this morning and was to be
left on until the end of the festivities
tonight.
The Cascades in Meridian Hill Park,
the Chevy Chase Circle fountain and
others about the city will be operated
until 5 p.m. also.
Queen to Take Throne.
Queen Sakiko will take her throne
on the “sakura maru,” or float, dur
ing the Marine Band concert, be
ginning at 7:45 p.m. Accompanying
the queen will be her attendants, her
8-year-old sister, Masako, and young
friend, Barbara Caldwell, 10, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis G. Cald
well.
Lighted by spotlights, the 30-foot
float, made into a huge swan, will
slowly circle the basin and arrive at
Queen’s Float, on the north basin
Bide, where Queen Sakiko will be
greeted by Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen, who will crown her with ap
propriate ceremony. En route to the
float the queen will pass through a
“manufactured” mist and will be
completely hidden from view for sev
eral seconds.

Cherry Blossom Joy
— - - - - -
Miss Evelyn Davis in a terpischorean interpretation of the
“thrill of the cherry blossoms” at the sunrise service at the Tidal
Basin today._—Star Staff Photo.
I
! will be turned on the cherry trees,
enhancing their brilliant colors.
In the event of inclement weather
Queen Sakiko and her attendants
will wear capes, spotted with orange
blossoms. Otherwise the queen will
i wear an American-style dress of blue
i organdie and her attendants pink
! organdie.
After her coronation, the B'ossom
Queen will make a brief address over
a Nation-wide radio hook-up.
Dancers Again to Perforin.
For the pleasure of the Queen and
the thousands of visitors expected to
witness the coronation exercises, Miss
Evelyn Davis and her dance group
will again perform.
The dances will precede an elaborate
fireworks display beginning at 9 p.m.
and climaxing in the blossoming of
a cherry tree in flames.
Principal dancers at both the per
formances this morning and the one
this evening are Miss Davis, Elizabeth
Jenkins, Dorothy Ross, Betty Ward
well, Lois Bowen and Mary Happer.
The dancers are performing under
sponsorship of the Community Center
Department and the Office of the
National Capital Parks. Their pro
gram tonight will include a “Dance
of Greeting,” to be followed by a
"Court Dance” and an interpretation
of the "Legend of the Cherry Blos
som.”
Over 5,000 Seat* Placed.
More than 5,000 seats will be placed
on the north basin slope near the
Queen float. If any seats remain un
sold by nightfall, they will be placed
on sale at the scene.
Tickets for the reserved seats were
on sale today in all large downtown
hotels at 25 cents apiece. A sellout
was predicted. j
President and Mrs. Roosevelt have
been invited to witness the events, but
it is not known whether they will be
able to attend. The Japanese Ambas
sador and his staff are scheduled to be
present.
Queen Sakiko and her sister, Mas
sako, also will be guests at a party
this afternoon at the Wardman Park
Hotel.
A children's festival is planned for
tomorrow as a part of the festival
week program.
Approximately 400 children of the
third, fourth and fifth grades of the
Wheatley School will present a dance
festival at 4 pm. beneath the cherry
trees at the Tidal Basin.
The youngsters will perform in
Japanese costumes designed by
themselves.
The huge, flower-bedecked swan
which will carry Queen Saklko on her
basin trip met with a slight accident
last night when L. J. Louistro, 38, a
National Park Service engineer, was
overcome by fumes from it’s gasoline
engines during a rehearsal. The young
queen was not aboard, nor was she
frightened when it struck the basin
wall after Louistro collapsed.
Craft Is Repaired.
Louistro was removed from the en
gine room and taken to Casualty Hos
pital, where he was released after
treatment. Efforts of fellow workmen
to revive him had been futile. The
slight damage to the craft was re
paired last night.
The Capital Transit Co. will run a
special bus service from the south
side of the Treasury Department
Building to the blosson area all day
today until 11:30 o'clock tonight.
Additional street cars also will be
placed in service, company officials
announced, in calling attention that
Route 50 cars, operating on Four
teenth street, will take passengers
directly to the northwest end of the
Tidal Basin, at the Bureau of En
graving and Printing.
The entire Basin roadway system
will be closed to vehicular traffic at
6 o’clock. Special details of police
men will be on hand to direct visitors
and to see that sightseers do not pick
blossoms or sprigs from the trees.
The Basin road along the east side
will be closed and used as a park
ing area. Only cars with parking
stickers will be admitted.

TRAINING PLEA STRONG :

British Cabinet Members Invited
to Touch Toes.
LONDON, April 8 (£>).—'The min
ister of education suggested yesterday
that Britain's portly cabineteers bow
down and try to touch their toes to
demonstrate the need of physical
training in England.
He was Oliver Stanley, who seconded
the government’s physical training for
youth bill, and regretted that previous
debate left him only this new argu
ment:
“Perhaps if the House could see the
members on the front bench trying to
touch toes some of use have not seen
for years, it would be more effective
than any peroration.”
Commons cheered. The cabinet
front-benchers did not respond.

Semi-Official Organ Praises
Efforts to Spur World’s
Business.
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 8.—The Diplo
matische Xorrespondenz, semi-official
organ of the German foreign office,
complimented Cordell Hull. United
States Secretary of State, today on his
efforts to restore world trade between
nations.
“The important declarations of Mr.
Hull,” the organ said, “evince an
extraordinarily active interest in
foreign trade problems and meet with
full agreement here.”
Outlining Germany’s attitude on
world markets, Xorrespondenz con
tinued:
“Germany desires, on the basis of
healthy national economy, to partici
pate in international trade as actively
as possible.
"She is willing to make her proper
contribution just as soon as inter
national efforts to remedy conditions
really promise success.
“The world must realize, however,
that Germany can contribute only if
certain pre-conditions arising from
the peculiarity of Germany's situation
are fulfilled.
“These include, besides regulation
of foreign debts, the solution of raw
material and colonial problems as well
as maintenance of German exchange
on the present stable basis.”
Prince Sails for London.

Specially Built Automobiles
Provide Offices for King (George
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 8.—Pleasure cars
quickly convertible Into fully equipped
offices will enable King George VI to
catch up with state duties while motor
ing between numerous functions at
tendant on his coronation May 12.
Central arms between the spacious
rear seats will contain a hidden "sec
retariat'’ so that the King can work
almost as efficiently as at Buckingham
Palace. In this respect, the machines
resemble the staff cars used by British
Army commanders in France during
the World War.
The two new automobiles recently
ordered by the King are a compromise
between the old-styled high-roof 11m
ouslnee used by his father, King
George V, and the siick streamline
Canadian-built models preferred by
the Duke of Windsor when he was
Edward VIII.
One of the straight eight 32-horse
power cars of British manufacture Is
an inclosed limousine. The other is
a drop-head landaulette which can
be used as an open carriage in fine
weather ard enable their majesties to
be seen when driving to public en
gagements. Specially fitted reading
lamps have been ordered installed.
George V always used maroon-col
ored closed limousines which flew a
miniature royal standard from a staff
above the windshield.
He and Queen Mary generally sat in
the forward part of the tonneau on
high “Jump” seats, leaving the roomier
rear seats to their attendants.
Queen Mary still prefers this old
style type of car and a new 20-horse
power model with the familiar coach
work has been ordered for her use
during the coronation.
Both of Kin'g George’s new cars will
be painted in the royal colors—maroon
with a red stripe.
Detective Wears Smock.
To shadow a suspected woman
thief a Liverpool, England, detective
had to wear a white smock and carry
a basket of bread.
SEEKS TAX REFUND
Harry L. (Bing) Crosby, Jr., radio
crooner and screen actor, filed suit
in the Court of Claims yesterday for
refund of income taxes totaling $13,•

for $60,125 earned in 1932 instead of
