America Urged
to Join Parley
on Calendar
National Committee Reports Gen
eral Approval for 13-Month
Year Proposal
Washington American partici
pation in an international confer
ence on revision of the calendar is
recommended in a report of the Na
tional Committee on Calendar Sim
plification, just submitted to Henry
L. Stimson, Secretary of State. The
report is the result of a year's in
vestigation by the committee, which
is headed by George Eastman of
Rochester, N. Y.
The studies were undertaken to
aid the United States in replying to
an inquiry on calendar simplification
made by the League of Nations in
19 27. The League has in view a con
ference on the subject as soon as
enough nations have expressed their
interest in participating.
The committee recommends that
American participation in the con
ference should not be preceded by
definite commitment for any particu
lar system of calendar reform. The
committee, however, has collected
extensive expressions upon the so
called "Cotsworth" plan which pro
vides for 13 months of 28 days each,
with the days of the week always
falling upon the same dates. Ninety
eight per cent of the organization
favoring some specific scheme, the
committee found indorsed the 13-
month plan.
Replies to the committee's ques
tionnaires were received from 14.3
organizations of which 1154, or 80.5
per cent favored calendar simplifica
tion. A total of 82 per cent ravorea
the Nation's participation in an in
ternational conference.
The report expresses the hope that
the international conference will be
held soon because 1933 is the next
date when Jan. 1 falls on Sunday,
which would be necessary for inaugu
ration of the new plan. This coinci
dence of day and date does not occur
again until 1939.
"After an International Confer
ence has approved a plan of simpli
fication and agreed upon a date for
putting it into effect," the report de
clares, "ratifying legislation in the
various countries would be next in
order. Such legislation would, of
course, legalize the change in dates
which would be caused by a new
calendar and thus take care of ma
turities of contracts and other legal
matters. A simple conversion table
legally established would do this.
"The temporary inconvenience of
change must he weighed against the
permanetn convenience and advan
tages of a better calendar to this and
future generations. Within the brief
period since the war the large popu
lations of Russia, Turkey and other
countries of eastern Europe have ac
cepted without serious disturbance a
change in their dates by conformin
to the Gregorian calendar.
MAN ASKS FOR ALIMONY
Miami, Okla.. Aug. 20. Alleging
extreme cruelty. F. L. Hallam Mon
day filed suit in district court for
$250,000 alimony and a divorce from
Mrs. Anna Beaver Bear Hallam, re
puted wealthiest woman of the Qua
naw Indian tribe. Hallam. a white
man. married the Indian woman at
Albuquerque. N. M., in 1924. It was
her third marriage.
Hallam lists the property of his
wife as including $650,000 in cash.
which is held in trust by the bureau
of Indian affairs, and enough real
estate in Miami and Ottawa county,
Oklahoma, to make her total wealth
more than $1,000,000. The petition
sets forth Mrs. Hallam has a month
ly income of $20,000 from lead and
zinc ore royalties. In addition, Hal
lam says his wife is one of the prin
cipal heirs to Mrs. John Beaver, an
other wealthy Quapaw woman.
Several instances of alleged cru
elty, including beatings while he was
asleep, and a revolver attack, are
cited by Hallam.
AIR MAIL TO DUTCH GUIANA
New York. August 20. Pan-Amer
ican Airways announced Monday that
air mail service from the United
States would be extended on' Sept
20 to Paramaribo. Dutch Guiana, and
that Colonel Lindbergh would pilot
the first ship from Miami.
Colonel Lindbergh was in the Pan
American offices when the announ
cement of his proposed flight was
made and told reporters briefly of
his plans.
Last year the flying colonel in
augurated the Pan-American air line
to Panama and on that occasion
widespread alarm was felt when his
plane was unheard from for several
hours. He said Monday it was be
lieved such an occurrence could not
happen on his flight, because by the
aid of improved radio equipment he
expected to be in communication ev
ery ten minutes during the long
flight.
He did not say whether Mrs. Lind
bergh would accompany him, as she
has on most of his aerial journeys
since their marriage.

Zeppelin Starts
Across Pacific
for Los Angeles
Eckener Takes Advantage of Sudden
Improvement in Weather
Day and Half Behind.
Kasumigaura, Japan, Aug. 23.
(Friday) The globe-encircling dir
igible, Graf Zeppelin, a day and a
half behind schedule, took the air for
her projected 5,740-mile journey to
Los Angeles at 3:13 o'clock this af
ternoon (12:13 a. m., Friday, Oma
ha time).
The decision to start this after
noon was made after weather condi
tions, which had held up the flight
scheduled for this morning, sudden
ly moderated. As soon as the weath
er changed for the better, Command
er Hugo Eckener summoned the crew
and rassengers and the ground crew
was called to take the dirigible out
of the hangar.
No time was lost at the takeoff,
and the Zeppelin rose rapidly and
disappeared into the northeast a few
minutes after it left the ground.
The change in plans followed
lessening of the north wind which
had been blowing across the en
trance of the hangar, making the
handling of the airship difficult and
possibly dangerous.
The giant airship first was balked
by a mishap as it was being drawn
from its hangar yesterday. A rear
motor gondola struck the earth and
did damage which made necessary
repairs, although it was not other
wise of serious consequence.
Today the scheduled start was
further delayed because of wind, the
direction and strength of which
would make handling of the huge
ship difficult and perhaps precarious
by the ground crew.
Arrangements have been made for
the Zeppelin to receive official weath
er reports three times a day until
the eastward flight puts the ship in
easy contact with American radio
stations. The Tokio weather bureau
pointed out that although fogs mast
be expected over the north Pacific at
this season, these seldom extend up
ward more than three hundred me
ters (9S4 feet) and the airship would
not be bothered.

Farm Board
to Help Cotton
Co-Operatives
Making, With Bank Credit, 90 Per
Cent of Crop Value Available
for Price Stabilization.
Washington. Aug. 19. The fed
eral farm board announced today It
had tentatively agreed to make "cer
tain financial advances'' to cotton
co-operative associations to assist in
the movement of this year's crop.
This decision was reached, the
board said, as a result of a num
ber of conferences with officials of
the American Cotton Growers' Ex
change. "These associations." the board
announcement said, "are now able
to obtain loans from the federal in
termediate credit banks to the total
amount of 65 per cent of the value
of the cotton.
"The federal farm board proposes
to loan an additional 25 per cent
a total of 90 per cent for the two
government agencies on cotton on
which a definite value has been
fixed by hedging in the future mar
kets. "The total volum eof advances of
this sort to be made by the federal
farm board will be limited only by
the actual requirements of the cot
ton co-operative associations. It is
expected that the sum involved for
this year's marketing operations will
run somewhere between five and 10
million dollars."
"The effect of the secondary loan
by the federal farm board." the an
nouncement continued, "will be to
permit the co-operative association
to make final settlement with the
member growers when the latter de
sires to sell his cotton, without forc
ing that cotton on to the market at
a time when buyers may already be
over supplied." World-Herald.
CORN HURT BY LONG DROUTH
Lincoln, Aug. 19. Continuation
of the prolonged drouth. A. E. An
derson, federal and state crop statis
tician, declared Monday, has further
dwindled the Nebraska's corn pros
pects, although "a fairly good" crop
seems assured.
There was marked deterioration,
Mr. Anderson discovered, he said,
in a trip through the southern half
of the state.
"However, if it rains immediately,
much of the stand will not be in
jured beyond complete repair," he
asserted.
Northern Nebraska counties, he
said, has fared much better and
northeastern counties have a chance
to make a splendid crop withone
more rain. '
"Cool weather has saved much of
the corn and enabled better develop
ment than could ordinarly be ex
pected under such a long trying per
iod of dry weather." Today's report
added:
Subsoil moisture, Mr. Anderson
found, is nearly used up.
A good rain, he asserted, followed
by a month of warm weather is what
is needed to approximate the state's
average production of corn in 1929.
An early frost, due to lateness of
the crop, would prove damaginb, he
concluded.
