WASHINGTON. D. C July 31.
When, In the first week of last March,
It was announced that Richard Wash
burn Child had been named special
adviser to the secretary of state, there
whs considerable mystification over
the appointment and speculation aa
to why it had been made.
As far as anyone knew. Mr. Child
bad no special claims upon the ad
ministration and. In some respects,
quite the contrary was true. He had
been In the diplomatic service before,
as ambassador to Jtaly. but. previous
to being named for this new post,
he had been writing articles for pub
lication which were decidedly critical
of the administration. In fact, some
practical persons found In this the
csup of his being given a Job, and
the only sufficient cause.
As special adviser to the secretary
of state. It was stated that Mr. Child
would attend the session of the Lon
don economic conference, that he
would travel In Europe to study and
report on the present and prospective
state of the economic situation there,
with special reference to the reso
lutions of the economic conference
which had been passed or were pend
ing. He was to have the rank of
ambassador and draw the amsasaa
dorlal salary or $17,500.
Mr. Child's appointment was an
nounced on March 6, and now, Just
about four months later, he Is back
in this country. And the mystery of
his original appointment la only
deeper because he la again writing
articles for publication, which point
out faults and fallacies In the pro
gram of the administration In which
he has Just served. At the state de
partment It is said that Mr. Child la
no longer connected with the diplo
matic service. It would be somewhat
Incongruous If he were, because one
of his latest articles Is devoted to
telling the political opponents of the
administration how to embarrass It
and hamper Its proposals. As to Mr.
Child's brief career under the new
deal, it Is being asked: "If It was
to be so soon done for, whatever
was it begun for?"
A certain Incongruity exists fn the
roles being played at the moment by
General Hugh S. Johnson, recovery
administrator. In San Francisco he
Is appearing, either by Invitation or
by Intrusion, as mediator In the
strike. As such he Is expected to
maintain an impartial attitude be
tween employers and employed, be
tween companies and unions.
While this Is his status In San
Francisco, In Washington he Is being
publicly denounced as a foe of unions
and labor. As a reault of the Dono
van Incident, the department of eom
merec building, housing the NRA, Is
being picketed and, at the lunch
hour and closing time, marchers walk
around the building bearing placards:
"Chlseler No. l, Johnson." "Johnson
a Sell-out."
Absence of the piesident from
Washington find the usual summer
doldrums have pit an end for the
time being to what, earlier In the
season, was one of the capital's most
flourishing Industries. Before this
set In, an activity with which politi
cally minded society people were
busily occupied was trying to Re an
other well-known woman into the
diplomatic service. The ice having
been broken with the naming of Mrs.
Ruth B rya n Owe n aa m 1 n Is ter to
Denmark. It was thought by promot
ers of women's rights and privileges
that the exnmple should be followed
up.
Specifically, the friends of Mrs. J.
Borden Harriman believed that she
was Just the person to fill the vacant
post of minister to the Irish Free
State. A campaign of "mentioning"
her for the place, or saying that she
was being considered for it. was car
ried on for some time without any
apparent substantial results.
Then, the friends of other women
prominent in Democratic or new deal
circle decided Mrs. Harriman was
not the only one fitted to represent
this country in Ireland, and thev got
buav with the same method. H was
hinted that Mrs. Mary Harriman
Rumsey, chairman of the consumers'
advisory board of the NRA. had Just
as pood a ehnnre as Mrs. Harriman.
This kite flew for a while along with

I FINAL COUNT OF
SECRET BALLOTS
BY TUESDAY EVE
Men Back To Work Wednes
day If Result Favorable
All Longshore Unions To
Act Employers Offer
Plan To End Walkout
Bridges Reluctant But
Accepts.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21. (AP)
District President William J. Lewis
of the International Longshoremen's
association, announced tonight after
a conference that all locals would
conduct secret ballots on the ques
tion of arbitration of all strike Is
sues, and that If the result la favor
able the men will return to work
probably by Wednesday morning.
Voting, Lewis said, will begin to
morrow morning and will be con
cluded Tuesday night. No ballots
will be counted until Tuesday night,
and all locals will telegraph the re
sults to San Francisco, which has
been a general center for the strike
which started May 9.
Lewis and Harry Bridges, the mili
tant leaders of the longshoremen's
strike committee, were quoted as hav
ing told longshore leaders at a meet
ing here tonight that. In view of de
velopments, including abandonment
of the longshoremen's cause by the
local teamsters' union, there was
nothing for them to do except "sub
mit to arbitration."
Oakland teamsters have called a
meeting for tomorrow to decide
whether they will follow the example
of the San Francisco teamsters and
resume trucking of goods to and from
the waterfront.
The projected secret balloting w:ll
be under supervision of the National
Longshoremen's board, tt was an
nounced by O. K. Cushlng. Ban Fran
cisco attorney and a member of the
board.
Tonight's action by the longshore
men resulted directly from agree
ment by the waterfront employers
here in a public statement, to arbi
trate not only all Issues In the lonst
so re men's strike, but also the hour,
wage, and working condition demands
brought forth by the other striking
maritime unions the sailors, masters,
mates, and pilots: marine engineers,
and marine stewards.
This met the objection of the long
shoremen to the tentative agreement
for strike settlement previously reach
ed, that it failed to take Into con
sideration the demands of the other
unions. .
Will End Strife
Arbitration of the longshore strike
Is expected to end Industrial warfare
on the Pacific coast which thus far
baa lasted ten and a half weeks and
caused financial losses estimated at
$200,000,000. eight deaths, and hun
dreds of Injuries.
The return of peace was signalized
here today by orders for withdrawal
of all but 1,727 national guardsmen
who have been on duty here.
Johnson to Fore '
Hugh S. Johnson. NRA administra
tor and government spokesman in the
fast moving negotiations which
brought the long existing trouble to
the threshold of peace, urged leaders
of the longshoremen to settle the
matter without waiting to take a
membership referendum.
Speaking for he sailors union of
the Pacific, one of the striking unions,
S. A. Silver, general chairman, said It
"doubtless will be willing to submit
sll points to arbitration."
Leaders of the longshoremen, who
previously had refused to consider
arbitration of their main Issue unless
the emp. overs would agree to arbitra
tion also of matters Involving the
maritime unions, were n on -commit,
tal. Ralph Mallen. publicity chairman,
simply said the question of arbitra
tion would come before tonight's
meeting.
In submitting the position taken
by the ship owners, Thomas O. Plant,
of the waterfront employers associa

thing we can do and that they (the

PORTLAND, Ore.. July 21. (AP)
Reports of strike settlement progress
at Sp.n Francisco brought hopes here
tonight that Portland unions would
again postpone a threatened general
strike.
The genera! strike war drums have
vibrated at moderate pitch here since
Governor Julius L. Meier called out
national guardsmen Thursday night
to stand by while the Portland port
was reopened to commerce.
Ben T. Osborne, executive secre
tary of the Oregon State Federation
of Labor, withheld definite comment
until he received complete details of
the latest San Francisco develop
ments. However, he said If employers
agreed to arbitration without reser
vations, "it doubtlens would have
considerable bearing on general strike
plsns. That Is, unless the governor
gets nutty before morning and starts
ordering his little tin soldiers around."
Previous talk of a general strike
waa quieted when Portland unions
promised Senator Robert F. Wagner
of New York that no drastic action
would be taken until he could make
settlement efforts.
A member of the longshoremen's
advisory board here was asked If
prospective peace might prevent a
general strike.
"They didn't wait to call out
troops," he replied.
Union representatives will meet
here In the morning to receive final
Instructions in conduct of a general
strike and to decide whether one
shall be called.
Labor Chief Osborne evidenced
some satisfaction with the latest de
velopment st San Francisco.
"It looks like Oeneral (Hugh S.)
Johnson Is getting somewhere," Os
borne said when Informed some of
the troops were being withdrawn
from the bay area. "General John
son said the general strike should
be called off and troops withdrawn
so settlement plans could go ahead."
Local headquarters of the Interna
tional Longshoremen's association to
day ordered that all picketing be
"peaceful."
Meehan added that 3000 sympa
thizers were arriving In Portland to
Join the picket lines. He said the
reserve forces wrr loggers, paper
mill workers and sawmill workers
from western Oregon and southwest
ern Washington.
The economic front of the long
shoremen's campaign waa manifest In
the business district. Men and wom

for troops paraded around the large

DEMOCRATS ADMIT
HOUSE LOSS, BUI
GAIN IN SENATE
Republicans Expect To Wipe
Out Present Majority In
Fall Election Montana
Bourbon Senator Beaten
" Both Confident.
WASHINGTON, July 31. (Rec
onciled to the loss of some house
seats, democratic leaders nevertheless,
are confidant the country will return
an overwhelming new deal majority
to the next congress In November's
elections.
Despite recent rejuvenation of the
republican national organization, the
democrats claim they will tncrea i
their senate majority and they have
reduced their estimates of the nous?
scats they expect to lose.
While some republicans agreed they
would have a battle to hold thlr
own in the senate, they said they were
equally confidant they would win
enough additional house seats to wipo
out the democrats' existing two -third?
majority in that branch. They said
they expected to capture et least 53
seats.
Those managing the democratic
campaign today surveyed the situation
from the country-wide reports. They
aald democrats would seize at least
four or six senate seats now held by
republicans.
Two months ago they said frankly
the republicans would reduce tho
democratic house membership by be
tween 50 and 60. On the basis ol
rotes polled in 15 primaries already
held and forecasts In other atatca,
they said today indications were that
the most the republicans could hope
to win was 30 to 35 seats.
Reports received thus far by the
democratic congressional senate cam
paign committees show that only five
democratic house incumbents and oni
senator Erlckson of Montana have
been definitely defeated for re-nomln-atlon.

In Short Time Tests Show
Secret Solution Causes
Fog To Condense In Few
Seconds
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 31. (AP)
Fog, the deadliest menace to the
aviator and the mariner, has been i
successfully overcome. I
Chemical dissipation of fog over'
limited areas was teafad for the first
time last Friday by the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology's Round
Hill research station at South Dart
mouth, it became known today.
Three minutes after nozzles fitted
Into a 100-foot long pipe began pour
ing a secret liquid chemical Into a
rolling fog which had enveloped the
airport on the Round Hill estate of
Col. K. H. R. Green, where the tech
nology station Is located, buildings
2000 feet away stood clearly revealed
against a background of turbulent
walls of white vapor.
The experiments were directed by
Henry G. Houghton, Jr., a member
of the Institute's research staff, who
has spent years studying the chsrac
terlstlcs of fog and In developing a
plan to combat tt.
The chemical employed possesses
the ability to collect or condense
water vapor in the air, causing It to
be precipitated to the ground like
raindrops fall. t
Friday's experiment was made after
several days of snxtous waiting for a
fog. The pipe had been suspended
horizontally 80 feet above the ground
and the centrifugal pumps were In
readiness to drive the mixture from
the pipe. Night was at hand when
a fog bank, driven by a southwest
erly wind, drifted in from Buzzards
Bay.
As soon as It had developed the
nozzles began to spray the atmos
phere with the chemical and within
a few seconds the fog drifting
through the falling chemical cur
tain turned to a precipitation.
With almost dramatic suddenness
a rath of visibility approximately 100
feet wide and 30 feet high began
to open In a northwesterly direction
as If a huge Invisible plow were mov
ing through the enshrouding vapors.

For 'Persecution' A

BISMARCK, N. D.. July 31. (AP)
Carrying his fight for the gover
norship from which he was ousted
to the legislature, William Langer to
day told the law makers "I am still
your governor" and appealed to them
to impeach blm If the "charges
against me are found proper and
Just."
Playing what observers believed
was his final card In the contest
revolving about his ejection from
the governor's chair by the state
supreme court. Langer told the house
of representatives, Jhe majority of
whose members are friendly to his
cause, that his conviction by a fed
eral court on charges of defrauding
the United States government and
his remove by the high state court
for that conviction were "political
persecution."
The house, obedient to the sum
mons for a special aasslon Langer
Issued shortly before his ouster, rose
and cheered him as he appeared be
fore It. Earlier with 73 of the 113
members present the house had
adopted a resolution to begin lnv
peaebment proceedings tn defiance
of acting governor Ole R. Olson's
cancellation of Langer's special ses
sion proclamation. Its purpose would
be to allow Langer to present his
case again in public.

Langer told house members, Mto In

"The supreme court has disquali

returned by the federal court Jury

Suffering acutely from the wo-ss
draught In its history, the mldvst
and southwest tonight counted 'fa
crop loss In the hundreda of millions
of dollsrs.
Official and semi-official sources,
reporting the widespread damage, said
each additional day of the withering
heat would add thousands of dollaia
to the tremendoua toll aldeady exact
ed and the weather forecast said he
blaring, rainless spell would continue
Indefinitely.
A shortage of water In aoms sections
added to the aufferlng. 6prlsss and
wella dried up. Rivers and streams
were low. The situation In western ir
rigation districts waa acute.
Barren pasture land, and lack of
water, caused distress among live
stock. Thousanda of head were sold
to the government for processing.
Forced selling, because of the water
shortage and burned meadowa,
brought a heavy Influx of livestock
that threatened demoralisation of toe
Kansas City livestock market. Nearly
M.000 head were received thla week,
and a larger number waa expected
next week. .
A B-atate drought conference was
called by the federal department of
agriculture, to meet In Kanaaa City
Monday, to disc use tbe Increasingly
serious eltuatlon. Representatives from
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
aud Arkansas will attend.
In Nebraska alone, the crop damage
waa estimated offlolally at S150.000,
000. In Missouri, the corn crop lost some
100,000,000 bushels in July, snd con
tinued to drop with each additional
day of drought. The oat yield iu
estimated at only ten per cent of the
norma crop, the lowest yield In the
state's history. Pastures were only IS
