President Hoover’s expectations for an apology from William Howard Gardner (pictured above), president of the Navy League, have gone unanswered thus far.

DEATH RATE IN STEEP DECLINE 1931 May Set Record for U. S., Report Shows. By Science Service NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—ln spite of economic depression and an influenza outbreak during the early part of the year, the death rates for the United States and Canada probably will be lower for 1931 than ever before, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company here predict from their study of the company’s records of deaths among the industrial population during the first nine months of the year. “Regardless, however, of whether anew low point in the death rate actually is reached, the 1931 health record to date is in many respects the most remarkable of all the years,” the company reports. The records of the company showed that deaths for the first three quarters of this year are only three quarters of 1 per cent higher than last year’s all-time record minimum death rate. The death rate for tuberculosis dropped 7Vs per cent. If this continues to the end of the year, the largest year-to-year decrease registered for this disease in ten years will be recorded. The diphtheria death rate also dropped to anew low of 3.9 per 100,000, which is one-seventh of the rate twenty years ago. New low death rates for the year are also expected for typhoid fever, djarrheal conditions and conditions associated with childbirth.
