1 1 CAPTAIN OF MID-OCEAN RESCUE SHIP HAILED AS HERO

LINER GREETED AT PORT WITH GREATOVATION Modest Ventura Skipper Praises Highly Chief of 111-Fated Boat. PAGO PAGO GOES WILD 251 Saved From Foundering Craft Loud invoicing Appreciation. &•! United press PAGO PAGO, Samoa, Aug. 20 Captain W. R Meyer, modest captain of the rescue ship Ventura, refused today the hero role which. Pago Pago forced upqn him for hisj work in saving the 251 passengers and crew of the Tahiti which foun- j dered Sunday in the South Pacific. Captain Meyer steadfastly depre- j ciated his own efforts, insisting that | tribute should be paid to Captain Totten of the ill-fated Tahiti. The Ventura arrived here Tuesday amid a welter of harbor whis- i ties, sirens, naval station bands and j the wild greetings of residents. “Several times Captain Totten de- ) cided to put the passengers in the small boats,” Captain Meyer declared. “but his excellent judgment, j his knowledge of the sex, together j with a calm, sympathetic, but firm control of the situation, kept the | passengers and crew from this exposure.” He discounted his own dash through the reef-studded area of j the Pacific and his calmness and spirit of directing the transfer of the passengers and crew of the Ta- j hiti before it sank. Passengers and crew of the Tahiti apparently were little the worse for their strenuous experience. All were loud in their appreciation of the manner in which the rescue was effected.

At the meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers, now in session here, Dr. G. W. Pickard, P. A. De Alars and G. W. Kenrick, the latter two of Tufts college, told of their studies of signal strength as recorded in Massachusetts of the transmission of station WCI, at ; Tuckerton, N. J. This station, operated by the Radio Corporation of America uses a frequency of 17.8 kilocycles, which is equal to a wave lenght of 16,840 meters. i At sunset and sunrise, however, I the signals show greatest strength. ; An inversion of this state of affairs was found during magnetic storms. , Then the day time signals were weaker and the night time ones ! stronger.

BAR GROUP TO CONTINUE ITS i WET-DRY POLL' Protests Are Quashed as Opening Session Gets Under Way. Bit United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—The American Bar Association made short work of the prohibition and farm relief issues at the opening session of its convention today, voting to continue the wet-dry poll despite protests for a special committee and to withdraw that part of a farm re'ief report that branded the agricultural bill as “the first, step toward a socialistic, Soviet government.” The proposal of several members to halt the association's prohibition referendum, now under way, brought a lively fight on the floor of the convention before it was quashed on a point of order. Judge James F. Ailshie, Coeu t D’Alene, Idaho, led the fight on behalf of a half dozen members, who objected to the referendum as out of the jurisdiction of the association. General attitude of mind of the average American is “not law abiding,” George W. Wickersham, chairman of President Hoover’s law enforcement commission, said in an address today before the association. “Perhaps this is not unnatural,” he declared, “with forty-eight states, besides congress, grinding out laws annually; with statute laws already in existence filling some 3,500 volumes of more than 1,500,000 pages, any general acceptance of statute law as imposing a moral obligation upon the citizen hardly could be expected.” NEGRO MEDICS MEET Clinics Are Held at Annual National Convention.

CITY COUNCIL THREATENS CUT IN EMPLOYES Health Board Employes May Be Dropped as Budget Is Studied. Threat of reduction in employes of the city health board was seen by councilmen in the meeting tonight of city council to study the health body's budget for 1931. “There’s a duplication of work of the various divisions in the board of health and undoubtedly an excess number of employes," declared City Councilman Leo Welch. “In our meeting tonight we will attempt to figure out how co-ordi-nation and consolidation between the various departments can be obtained, and thereby reduce the overhead cost, as well as personnel," Welch said. The council, meeting as a committee of the whole, will seek to keep the tax levy for the health board at 9:4 cents for 1931 instead of the 10 cents recommended for 1931. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the health board: Dr. William A. Doeppers, city hospital superintendent, and C. C. Hess, business manager of that institution, are to be summoned before the council to explain the requests made in the budget. The contemplated budget also would increase the school health levy from 1 cent to 1.25 cents, and boost the tuberculosis levy from .25 cents to .8 cents.
