EXPERT BRANDS U. S. CIPHERS AS WORTHLESS Diplomatic Procedure Is Revealed by Indiana Man in New Book. BY ARCH STEINEL "Every code cablegram sent to Charles G. Dawes, ambassador to Great Britain, by the state department can be read by Great Britain almost as quickly as it is delivered to the London embassy or Dawes’ residence.” The secret instructions to America's diplomats abroad during arms conferences are an open book to foreign powers.” ‘‘The department of Justice has the poorest code and the signal corps the best.” These declarations come from a man who holds secrets that Soviet Russia would garrote out of him if they could. Decoded Cablegrams He is Major Herbert O. Yardley, D. S. M., and former chief of MI-8, the “Black Chamber,” a secret division of the state department which up to 1929 decoded the cablegrams of foreign powers. Major Yardley, who lives at Worthington. Ind., was in the city today conferring with his publishers, Bobbs-Merrill Company, on the release today of his book, “The American Black Chamber." If his book details how the “Black Chamber” pried into over 5,000 telegrams during the Washington arms conference in 1921 and made it possible to defeat Japan’s desire for a 10-to-7 naval ratio and accept 10-to-6, his own conversation sees little future for the United States in diplomacy unless it re-establishes the “Black Chamber" or demands that all diplomatic communications be held inviolate. - Stimson Abolishes Chamber “Secretary of State Stimson seems to know little of the use of code messages.” says Yardley. “He abolished the black chamber and renounced practices which every other nation continues.” Yardley says every man, woman and child thinks that he or she is a code expert. In his book Yardley lists without apology a Soviet message which had been obtained by the “black chamber” and which gave instructions for the hiring of spies in legations of America, Japan and England. Expects Soviet Denial Commenting on the messages Yardley says “the Soviet authorities will be loud in their denial of the authenticity of this document, but they will recognize it and must know I also possess other Soviet documents of more sensational character; for instance, Instructions for the massacre of foreign nationals. Soviet agents please note. I once had copies of these documents, but I don’t care to have my throat cut and do not plan to publish them. They have been destroyed. So be ' reasonable.” CHICAGO DRY AGENTS ARE THIEVES’ VICTIMS Speedway . Visitors’ Hotel Rooms Ransacked; Loot Is $97. Two Chicago prohibition agents today stepped forward as members of the great fraternity of Speedway visitors who were the victims of thieves over the week-end. Robert W. Coyne and William Green, both of Chicago, told police their rooms in a downtown hotel were ransacked. Coyne reported $67 stolen and Green said his loss was S3O. Other thefts reported by persons who had pockets picked and autos looted: William Maher, St. Louis, clothing, $136; Joseph Cruz, Detroit, sls; Roy B.

DRY MAYOR WINNER Balks Proposed Visit to French Vineyards. By Times Special DIJON, France, June I—Dissension over prohibition and how an American official should act on the liquor question abroad again caused trouble among the touring American mayors today. Mayor John H. Porter, Los Angeles, again led the “dry” forces and won. The mayors had been scheduled to spend the morning visiting the famous old vineyards and cellars of Burgundy. Mayor Porter and a few others objected. They declined to visit the cellars or t&e vineyards. A consultation was held and to keep peace in the party the others gave in. The mayors inspected a ginger bread factory instead here in the heart of Burgundy. KIN IN ESTATE FIGHT Daughter Files Claim for Payment for Care Given Father. ANDERSON, Ind., June 1. Whether Mrs. Mary Waples is entitled to $1,200 from the estate of her father, James C. Davis, Alexandria resident, for caring for him during the last few months of his life, will be decided by Judge Carl F. Morrow of Madson circuit court here. A sister, Mrs. Myrtle B. Richardson, and a brother, Emery, are contesting the claim. A will gave Mrs. Waples six months’ free occupancy of a house and provided for an equal distribution of the estate after payment of debts. The daughter’s claim for services is based oil three checks, each for $230, which were executed in her favor by the father a few weeks before his death. The checks were not presented for payment, Mrs. Waples alleging she is entitled to more. The claim is contested on the ground that the daughter and her husband lived at the father’s home for several years with their expenses paid.

HEAVY SUPPORT GIVEN HOOVER ON WAGE GUTS Attitude of Industrial Chiefs Shows Labor Has Won New Status. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June I.—While various factors in the business situation are giving encouragement to the administration, one of the most important sources of gratification is the co-operation which President Herbert Hoover feels he is receiving in his campaign against wage-cutting. Indications are that the battle is not over, but numerous developments in the last few weeks have given strong support to the President in his determination to make effective the pledge to maintain wages given by industrial leaders at the White House conference in 1929. Just two months ago, Mr. Hoover told friends that if wholesale wagecutting cculd be prevented during the ensuing sixty days, the chief danger in that field probably would be over. Some time must elapse before it will be known whether the danger period is over as Mr. Hoover believed it would } be. f New Status for Labor „ Nevertheless, industrial leaders have revealed an attitude on the whole unprecedented in the history of American depressions, which has given labor anew status in the industrial world. Whether this is due to more farsighted wisdom on the part of this generation of business men or to the pressure of President, or to both, doubtless will be argued at length, politically,' in the coming campaign. Regardless of where the chief credit lies, .the business world has for the first time taken seriously the oft-repeated political platform declaration that labor is not a commodity. The air is full of statements from business men explaining how labor is industry’s greatest consumer, that its buying power must be sustained. Change in Attitude Shown In 1915 J. P. Morgan, testifying before the federal industrial relations commission, was asked by Frank P. Walsh of the commission if $lO a week was a proper wage for a working man. Morgan replied : “If that’s all he can get and he takes it, I should say that is enough.” Within the last few weeks two men, one the active executive head of the' largest so-called Morgan concern—James A. Farrell of the United States Steel Corporation—and Gerard Swope of General Electric have made speeches voicing great solicitude for labor, Farrell bluntly accusing some steel executives of “pretty cheap business,” in wage-cutting.

But Captain Frank Hawks, American “meteor man,” already has bested that prophecy by completing the triangle with a pre-breakfast flight from Paris to London.
