SHEARER WORK IN CONGRESS IS UNDER SCRUTINY Payments During Cruiser Bill Fight Bared by Senate Body. By I nitr'f Prrx* WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.—The congressional lobbying activities of William B. Shearer, big navy propagandist in the recent cruiser bill fight, was made the subject of inquiry today by the senate investigating committee. Homer Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding Coming and Dry Dock Company, revealed in answer to questions that Shearer had been paid $2,500 for propaganda work during the time, in 1926 and 1927, that congress was considering “the six cruiser bill.” Close questioning of Ferguson developed Vice-President Palen of the Newsport News Corporation had loaned Shearer $2,000 in 1928. Ferguson denied the Shearer expenses were tp influence “big naval legislationr,” but admitted that When the propagandist was employed, “we talked about merchant marine legislation in congress and the six cruiser bill.” Ferguson also identified a check of SI,OOO to an Oscar Olsen in December. 1928, as a payment which “probably went to Shearer.” He said Olsen was an employe in his New York office. Other payments to Shearer were made through checks drawn to Palen. Ferguson said his corporation paid a total of SIB,OOO to Shearer, but said the propagandist's name does not appear on the books of his company and no payments were made directly to him by check. “Has the company ever demanded payment of Shearers notes?"

SIMPLICITY TO FEATURE LIFE OF JOHN. FLO Young Coolidge Intends to Emulate Existence of Parents. BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Srrvire Writer PLAINVILLE, Conn.. Sept. 24. John Coolidge and his bride will start their married life, after their honeymoon, in an early American setting, quite in keeping with the early American traditions of genuineness and simplicity that produced both the Coolidge and the Trumbull families. “Mrs. Coolidge is giving us the loveliest early American furniture for the bedroom,” Florence told me, her fresh young face alight with happiness. “Mother is making us a present of Governor Winthrop’s own desk, a very early American piece,” she continued. “Mother and Mrs. Coolidge helped me pick out most of the rest of my furniture,” Florence said. The fondness of the townsfolk, whe? call her “Florence,” the way the pleasant-faced, middle-aged maid who opened the dcor spoke of her, the way she and John went to the minister to make wedding ar-

rangements instead of summoning him to come to the Governor s daughter—all these bespeak the wholesome simplicity of the famous September bride. “The funniest presents,” laughed Florence, “are cook books from all over creation. I guess everybody's worried because I'm going to do the cooking and have admitted that I don't know very much about it. “I am going to do all my marketing, run the house on a budget, do the washing, ironing and even scrubbing,” she declared, authoritatively. John and Florence chose their four-room apartment in the Westville section of New Haven partly because of its nearness to an excellent marketing section. John is coming home to lunch every day. So Florence will cook three meals a day, including a 7 o'clock breakfast to start John off right. “We aren't going to lead a social life,” she concluded. “Neither of us likes night clubs or formal dinners out. We'd both rather eat !at home. And I think it will be the most fun in the world having dinner parties right in our own home. Both John and I want the same kind of home life our parents have.”
