In veiled but unmistakable terms, President Coolidge, in his farewell public ad dress as president, at the commence ment of George Washington univer sity tonight, denied the existence of any cause of discord between the United States and Great Britain, or any other European natipn. He sought particularly to brand as ir responsible and mischievous certain utterances on both sides of the At lantic which represent America and Britain as drifting toward a state of unfriendliness, if not toward war, over the naval armament limitation controversy and questions involving commercial rivalry. "I should like the people of the United States to know," said the president in his most impressive man ner, "that at the present time there are no questions of importance await ing settlement between our govern ment and any of the European gov ernments with . which we have re lations. Our government is on the most cordial and friendly terms with all of them." Excepts Soviet. By qualifying this pronouncement to apply to "European governments with which we have relations," the president excepted, the Russian sov iet government, with which, because of its refusal to deal fairly with our country and countrymen, the Cool idge administration has never estab lished diplomatic relations, and also excepted Mexico, with which, though official relations are improved, there is still unsettled controversy over the threatened confiscation of Amer- can properties. The president spoke before a dis tinguished audience at the mid-win ter convocation of the university on the one hundred and ninety-seventh birthday of the founder of the re public, whose name it bears. At the close of his address, the honorary degree of doctor of laws was con ferred upon the president and Mrs. Coolidge. ' No Personal Farewell. Though it was his farewell presi dential address, Mr. Coolidge spoke no word of farewell to the capital or to the nation. Fitty-slx years young, robust and vigorous, the president goes back to private life. In no more fitting manner, how ever, could he have taken leave of his high office than in the tribute he paid In this ' address to George Washington, whoyto Calvin Coolidge was the greatest American, not even excepting Lincoln; and who has been the life-long -Wot of the thirtieth president. The farewell address was the text of Mr. Coolidge. The president's address was deliv ered before an audience which near ly filled the huge Washington audi torium. It included members of the cabinet and diplomatic corps. The president and Mrs. Coolidge wore the academic cap and gown at the exer cises. World-Herald. Brought Safely Out of Snow swept Desert Women and Children Rescued in . Wyoming After Being Maroon ed Since Monday. Rock Springs, Wyo., Five women and six children, the vanguard of the party of fifty or sixty persons snowbound on a highway in the deso late wastes of the Red desert since last Monday, reached the shelter of, civilization here late Friday. They brought a story of intense hardships during the four days and nights they were at the mercy of the elements on the wind and snow swept desert. Facing famine and shivering from exposure, the plight of the party was relieved somewhat Thursday when an airplane piloted by Edmund T. Allen dropped 1,000 pounds of provisions and blankets at the little camp where the storm sufferers had huddled about their stranded caravan of motor trucks. Rescuers who had fought their way thru the deep drifts brought the women and children to safety while the men of the party remained be hind to bring thru the trucks. The tucks carrying the group from New Mexico to a construction job near here, became stalled Monday when a blizzard whipped across the desert and piled five to six feet of snow upon the highway. Moderating weather favored the travelers and tractors led a slow advance of the caravan toward Rock Springs. Edward Kiviaho, said to be a rep resentative of the department of com merce, worked his way on foot with several others, thru the drifts but was nearly frozen when highway workers trying to reach the party from Rock Springs found him. His companions, Kiviaho said, col lapsed and were taken care of by the workers. Tired and exhausted from the long vigil in the open, Kiviaho was unable to give a de tailed story of the experiences of the travelers. Supplies dropped to the marooned party by Allen from a special Boeing airplane sent from Salt Lake City, included blankets to per mit them to sleep warmly. Huddled around a fire which ap parently had been made from a load of lumber carried by one of the trucks, the stranded group cheered when the airman hove in sight and circled their camp. It was worth a million to see those half famished persons scram bling for those gunny sacks which meant sustenance and life to them as they wildly waved their arms in thanks." said Allen.

A bill intended to enable the state law enforcement officers to get the ump on gangsters and bank rob bers was started on the road to be coming a law Wednesday afternoon by the state senate. It prohibits the sale, possession, and transportation of machine guns in the state, and provides a penalty of from one to ten years imprison ment for those found guilty of vio lating the law. Senator J. C. McGowan, the in troducer of the bill, S. F. 165, told the senate that machine guns had been used in two bank robberies in the state already. "These weapons are being used by bandits in many other states and will probably be brought into use in Nebraska. Such a law as this will aid materially in preventing it," Senator McCowan told the senate. The bill was advanced to third reading without opposition. The only other measure acted on Wednesday afternoon was S. F. 206, introduced by Senator Kennedy of Broken Bow. It empowers counties under township organization to levy a one mill tax for the building and maintenance of community houses. The bill was advanced to third reading.

FILIBUSTER CLOUDS FADE REPORTS DRAW CRITICISM Washington Unlawful entry of aliens into the United States is be coming less of a factor each year and the deportation of those who have been "bootleggers" thru the border is becoming more rapid, in the opinion of Harry E. Hill, com missioner general of immlgTaTlon. Writing to Representative Cole, republican, Iowa, Thursday, Commis sioner General Hull deplored recent newspaper articles in which start- line: statements as to the numoers of aliens unlawfully entering and the j allecations of failure to deport them after their arrival were made. "We of the service are often ap- palled at the variety and number of false statements concerning immi gration matters," the commissioner ronomi wrote. "Articles of this D.w.v. . . character." he added, "are not oniy unfair to the immigration Bervice, but what is Infinitely worse, encour age many ignorant, misguided aliens to embark upon an unlawful entry venture fated ultimately to end in tragedy." - LABOR ASKS HAND IN DRY INQUIRY Miami, Fla., Feb. 21. Represen tation on a commission to be ap pointed by President-elect Hoover to' study tne proniumoii. simauuu be asked by the American Federation of Labor, it was indicated when the executive council approved a request that President William Green ask Mr. Hoover for such recognition. The council has considered in auguration of a "clearing house" to prevent unemployment and protests to wage cuts by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Co. of Elwood, Ind. Washington, Feb. 21. Filibuster clouds over the senate legislative calendar faded Thursday as agree ments were reported on the navy de partment and interior department ap propriation measure. Foes of the newly authorized cru iser construction program for which funds are provided in the naval sup ply measure threw a scare into sen ate leaders early in the day by in dulging in a verbal attack against the bill. Leaders countered this talk ing game ji'ith threats of continu ous day and night meetings for the final ten days of the sessions. The opposition to the cruisers yielded to a vote to take up the bill. This carried sixty-three to five and soon thereafter an agreement was reached limiting debate on the naval bill after 3 p. m., Mriday. Senator Swanson, democrat, Virginia, y posed the agrement which assures an early vote on the bill. Senator Blaine, republican, Wis consin, raised a point of order against the $12,370,000 provided by the bill for starting the first and second year's program on the cruisers but he was overruled by Vice President Dawes.
