Jhomas Asks 500 Million
More—Holt Hits Cost
of Projects.
Bt the Associated Press.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah
urged an additional $500,000,000 ap
propriation for alum clearance and
low-rent housing last night and Sen
ator Holt, Democrat, of West Vir
ginia criticized the cost of projects
already built in the Government's
housing program.
The Senators spoke over a radio net
work. Senator Holt, who frequently
has opposed administration legisla
tion, said he was not hostile to the
housing program, but desired to see
It succeed.
"The point that I desire to make,”
he said, "is that our Government
housing program is costing too much,
the few are getting the benefit in
stead of the many. Is it not time
for us to see if there is not a more
Ifconomic approach?"
He asserted housing projects of the
Public Works Administration had cost
$1,169 a room, or $4,126 for a family
dwelling unit, exclusive of the cost
of sewage and utility connections.
Units of the Arthurdale, W. va.. home
stead project cost an average of $15,
$43, he said.
Senator Thomas urged that Con
gress enact pending amendments to
the Wagner-Steag^ll Housing Act :
which would allow a $500,000,000 ex
pansion of the slum-clearance pro
gram and permit the housing admin
istration to put up the entire capital ;
for housing projects.
He estimated this would give em
ployment to 600.000 workers directly
and indirectly.

Roosevelt to Greet Sweden’s
Crown Prince On U. S. Shores
Large Party, Including Princess, to
Arrive June 27 at Wilmington, Del.,
for New Sweden Tercentenary.
By BLAIR ROLLES.
The Crown Prince of Sweden, his
Urown Princess, a*Swedish royal band,
71 members of a Stockholm male
chorus, more than half a hundred
ending citizens of Sweden and a
lew Finns will be welcomed to the
United States by the President, the
Secretary of State and a 21-gun sa
ute in Wilmington. Del., June 27.
rhis is one of the most impressive
-oyal companies which has ever
Headed toward America—and in sharp
contrast with that of last March of
!he Sultan of Oman, whose party
numbered only four.
The arrival of the Swedish group,
ivhlch will cross the Atlantic Ocean
■>n the motorliner Kungsholm. will
mark the peak of the celebration of
he tercentenary of the founding of
Mew Sweden, a colony which included
aarts of what are now Delaware. Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. New Sweden
ivas a short-lived colony, but its in
nabuants gave America a sort of ar
chitecture which even today typifies
for us the rugged pioneer who was the
first rugged individualist—the log
cabin.
Wilmington Center of Area.
Wilmington is in th'e center of the
»rea settled 300 years ago by an expe
iition from Sweden planned by King
Oustavus Adolphus and sent out
inder the direction of Peter Minuit,
;he Dutchman who as governor
if New Netherland arranged the
amous transaction by which the
fndians sold Manhattan Island for
125. more or less.
At Fort Cristina, named after the
jeautiful young queen of Sweden who
mctfeeded Oustavus Adolphus and who
vas reigning when the expedition set
orth, the Swedish and Finnish colo
lists made the first permanent settle
nent in the Delaware River Valley.
Jueen Cristina was portrayed by
ireta Garbo, Sweden's gift to Holly
vood, in a movie several years ago.
The Crown Prince and the Crown
•rincess, who were in this country in
926 to attend the unveiling of the
lohn Ericsson Monument in Potomac

he guests of President Roosevelt.
To Visit Midwest.
Prom Washington they go to New
fork City. After they visit Boston
ind Chicago, they will proceed to
Minneapolis, where Swedes and de
scendants of Swedes abound. After
,he 17th century until the middle of
he 19th, Swedes took little interest
n America. But in the 1840s the
Scandinavians once more began to
•ross the ocean to this continent, and
Minnesota and the neighboring States
Moved the most popular spots for
.hem to settle in.
The Crown Prince who is heading
his royal party is Gustaf Adolf, Duke
>f Skane. heir apparent to the king
ihip of Sweden, the Goths and the
Wends. He is 55, tall, dark and hand
some. Her Royal Highness the Crown
Princess was Lady Louise Mount
Datten, Princess of Battenberg, grand

land. With them will be His Royal
Highness Prince Bertil, a younger son
if King Gustaf, who celebrates his

Six men and one woman comprise
the personal suite of the royal family,
which is content to travel with but
live servants—two chambermaids, one
valet and two footmen.
Nils Rudbeck, master of the house
hold of the Crown Prince, heads the
suite. Then come Brita Steuch. lady
in waiting to the Crown Princess; Lt.

educators, the army, the city of
Stockholm, the city of Gothenburg,
social work, engineering, industry and
trade, the Swedish co-operative move
ment. labor, the press and the family
of Johann Prints, first governor of
New Sweden, will be represented In
the official delegation.
The Rt. Rev. Gustaf LJunggren,
bishop of Skara, has a double interest
in the trip. He plans to visit Trinity
Lutheran Church at Swedes boro, N.
J„ which is still under his Jurisdic
tion, although New Sweden has not
been identified with Sweden since the
Dutch took over its government in
1655.
Gunnar Pant, ma?£ (chief justice)
of Stockholm, is eodfeg as the dd
scendant of Gov. Print*, whose
diplomacy kept New Sweden under
Swedish control for years, despite lit
tle aid from the homeland, which
was fighting all over the face of Eu
rope and building its continental
strength to the greatest in Its his
tory.
When these official delegate* sep
arate from the royal party July 4 they
will break up into groups which will
visit various parts of the country.
Prince Returns July 23.
The first Swedish settlers landed
near the banks of the Delaware from
two ship*, the Kalmar Nyckel and
the Fagel Grip, March 29, 1638. The
Crown Prince would have landed
March 29, 1938, but the trip was de
layed because the term of the Swedish
Parliament w.vs not to be over until
June and because of the festivities in
connection with the King's birthday.
He returns to Sweden from New
York July 23.
The celebration of the anniversary
of the arrival of the Swedes and the
Finns, who 300 years ago were under
the domination of Sweden, has turned
the Swedish Legation here Into one
of the busiest diplomatic poets in
Washington. The staff has been work
ing late and early. The members of
the legation staff, headed by Minister
Bostrom, will be in Wilmington to
greet the party when it arrives.
President Roosevelt will say a few
words in greeting. The Crown Prince
will reply and Secretary Hull will
make the principal speech. All to
gether they will dedicate Carl Milles’
monument in Wilmington, commem
orating the arrival of the Swedes.
The monument, a gift of the Swedish
people, is to be placed at the very
rocks where the voyagers of 300 years
ago made their first settlement, on
Cristina Creek, a tributary of the Del
aware.

COAST AIR RACES
TO CLOSE TODAY
|
$12,400 Lures 10 Pilots in
Hazardous Finale to
'Jinxed’ Meet.
By the Associated Press.
OAKLAND. Calif.. May 30—Speed
j kings and stunt pilots at the Pacific
International Air Races gingerly pre
pared for their final performances to
i day with two members of their frater
! nity dead, victims of a series of acci
dents.
One man died Saturday, another
yesterday, and today's race, a 150-mile
i grind over a course which lay In part
j over a windy and treacherous stretch
' of San Francisco Bay, was regarded as
a hazardous finale because the prize
money was attractive to as many as
10 pilots.
The greater the number of pilots
trying for a major share of the *12,
400 posted by the race management,
I the greater the effort to outwit com
. petition on the pylon turns of the 8 1-3
mile course and squeeze speed from
: over-taxed motors on the straight
aways.
Jinxed From Start.
The bay area's first major-money air
' meet has seemed to be jinxed from the
| start. A stunt fiver, Ralph Johnson
of Los Angeles, lost his life on the
opening day.
Yesterday, when the tiny red racer
flown by Gus Gotch, also of Los An
geles, apparently lost a control surface
and spiraled skyward completely out of
hand, he died in the waters of the
bay.
Wedged into a cockpit which brushed
his shoulders, his head touching a
glass canopy punctured with a rubber
; hose to provide air for his lungs,
Gotch could only wait for the end
when his midget plane wrenched loose
from his grasp.
| Afterward, at the hangars where
pilots who know the risks of the game
gather and studiously avoid open talk
of the day's mishaps, it was learned
1 Gotch had been uneasy before the
race about the temperament of his
craft. It was tricky, he complained,
j and hard to control.
Two Others Luckier.
Gotch was not alone in his troubles,
but two brother pilots were luckier.
Steve Wittman of Oshkosh, Wis., who
has seen three men spin to their
deaths in the last five months as he
wheeled around the pylons of closed
courses at Miami, Fla., and Oakland,
crawled from his shattered machine
unhurt after a forced langing. He
was expected to fly again today in
another ship.
R. G. Chambers, Los Angeles, got
down without damage when his motor
quit.
Lifting of Arms Ban Asked
at Jewish Welfare
Sessions Here.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Hull
and Congress were called on to lift
the arms embargo operating against
Loyalist Spain in a resolution adopted
today by the National Conference of
Jewish Social Welfare at its 39th an
nual meeting in the Willard Hotel.
Adopted at a special meeting called
by the Social Workers’ Committee to
Aid Spanish Democracy, the resolu
tion declared “that the application of
this unjust and un-neutral embargo
has enhanced the danger of wide
spread war and Is contrary to the will
of the American people who desire
peace and democracy ’’
Before adoption of the resolution
George Pershing, nephew of Gen.
Pershing, called on the Jewish social
workers to support the cause of Loyal
ist Spain.
Dr. Dinin Elected.

Teachers' Institute, Jewish Theological
Seminary, New York, was elected
president of the National Council for
Jewish Education at another session

dent; Samuel Blumenfeld of Chicago,
secretary; Nathan Brilliant of Cleve
land, treasurer, and Ben Rosen of

gees away from congested areas and

lain that the American Government 1 I
will co-operate in aiding the refugees.

visory Committee on Political Refu
gees.
"Private organizations, Protestant. I

lem here in America" Dr. Chamberlin
said, "may be assured full co-opera
tion from the Government to facili
tate and ease the emigration of refu
gees from Central Europe within the ]
framework of existing immigration
legislation. This can be done, both j
here and in the 32 countries interested
in this question, without any change 1

Co-ordinate Activities. ,
The National Resettlement Com- (
j mittee plans to organize regional and

will co-ordinate - their activities
through a central office. f
! The attention of the main body of 1

lief problems at the meetings yester- ! 1
day. } ' *
Discussing "the inipact of social se
curity developmentsron private social t
work and Jewish Community organiz- 1
ation.” Harry Greenstein. president
of the conference, attacked the Fed- s
eral relief administration.
"The present artificial distinction !
I and division of responsibility between
’ the Federal Government and the
States on the basis of employables 1
and unemployables is not a states- 1
manlike approach to the problem," 1
I Mr. Greenstein declared. 1
i
Categories Cited. (
Prof. William Haber, sociologist at ,
the University of Michigan, told the
session the Government social security ,
i program has increased the tendency ;
to divide various classes of needy Into j
categories of the aged, the 111, the
dependent and the unemployed. i
"Categorical assistance," he declared, j
whatever its shortcomings, results in j
qualifying as ‘eligibles’ thousands of j
persons who would not qualify or
! would not apply for; general relief.” j v
Differing with Prpf. Haber on the y
formula of "categorical assistance.” j
Mr. Greenstein asserted. "There are: ,
; many of us who feel that we ought not J
to have any specialized form of cate- <
gorical aid. but instead one additional: j
broad category to be included in the (
; Social Security Act, flexible enough to
I provide for all forms of direct relief r
which might be needed, with appro
J priations by the Federal Government 1
I on a matching basis.”

Vessels in Fleet Ordered to
Look Out for Missing
$20,000 Yacht.
the AsM-clated Preaa.
SAN PEDRO, Calif., May 30 — Navy
eyes watched the Pacific’* horizon
today for the sail* of the missing yacht
Tlra, believed commandeered last
Thursday by three youths bent on a
hunt for pirate treasure.
Acting on an appeal from the anx
ious parents and the Mayor of Santa
Cruz, Calif., Admiral Claude C. Bloch
ordered all ships of the United State*
Fleet when at sea to keep a lookout
for the "borrowed" $20,000 ketch.
Hie order applied immediately last
night to the naval tankers Kana
waha, Brazos and Cuyama, bound to
San Pedro from Honolulu and Pana
ma.
Tomorrow three aircraft carriers and
a detachment of warcraft, departing
on a regular mission, will keep watch
the while.
When Lyle Tara, 17; William
Grace, 16, and James Henninger. 17,
disappeared silently from Santa Cruz,
they were reportedly equipped with
navigation books from the Public Li
brary, charts, a compass and food.
They were last seen rowing seaward.
Then the Tira. owned by Creamery
Operator Lew K. Foote, was observed
under sail.
Mr. Foote took the loss of his Diesel
powered yacht good-humoredly. He •
indicated he might even take the self
appointed crew for a cruise upon the
Tira's safe return.
Their parents expressed belief the
boys had been lured, like countless
others before them, by stories of buc
caneer loot buried -on Coco* Island
off Co6ta Rica. There was also th*
possibility they might have started
for Honolulu, some 2.000 miles dis
tant, a small spot for amateur mar
i iners to hope to find in the vast Pa
; cific.
A fruitless search has been con
ducted by the Coast Guard, which
dispatched boats from Oakland. San
Pedro and San Diego, and amphibian
planes from the latter base.
