Since July 1, when I entered, my treatment at the hands of officers and cadets has been fair and never in any circumstances has there been any sign of discrimination or prejudice.

"All the officers are giving me a square deal. I have participated in every activity with other fourth classmen from the minute of my arrival and, in addition to the military drills, have participated in intramural sports. I've played baseball, football and basketball and other things.

E. C. Finney, present solicitor of: the interior department and the then assistant tr Fall, made the statement today while testifying for the Federal Government in Its at- tempt to recover 600 acres of Elk hills oil land leased to Edward L.

Doheny by Fall. "The Midway company's applica-! a lit, 11 UIU LUC competitive bid lease figure of 55 per cent to 12 i and 25 per cent, depending on the quality of oil produced," Finney explained. "The strip leases were in the Elk hills reserve. "Mr. Fall acted in opposition to my recommendation.

He based a recommendation for the reductions on the grounds that there was a slump in oil prices." The land In the present suit, how ever, was leased to Doheny's Pan-American Oil Co. and since has been transferred to the Richfield Co. The Government claims that the. leases were made fraudulently by Fall. A trunk full of letters and documents brought here from Washington by Finney occupied much attention in the Federal court, where the hearing is being held, when they were read into the record.

Under the date of Oct. 6. 1921 Rear Admiral J. K. Robinson wrote to E.

L. Doheny, thanking the oil magnate for the part he played in his recent promotion and thanking him for other friendships. Through the appointment' Robinson became chief of the navy's engineering department, which later had supervision of fuel oil received from the Pan-American Co. in ex-chnage for the crude oil royalties due the Government from leases.

Dec. 4. One Negro youth among nearly 1.400 white cadets at the United States Military academy, Alonzo Parham, of Illinois, has completed his first five months as a prospective army officer and has no complaint to make regarding his treatment. He is getting a square deal, he says, and has played basketball, football, baseball and several other sports. When the cadets go abroad to attend a football game, he goes along with his company.

He was at the Yale, Harvard and Notre Dame games this fall. Ho has a room to himself; that seems about the only difference in status between him and his classmates. Two cadets normally share a room.

A cryptic telegram received from her by friends said: "Divorce granted.

In this message she announced her departure from Reno for San Francisco, there to embark on a steamer for parts unknown. Mrs. Church added she was being accompanied by her aunt, Mrs.

Winifred Bateman, of New York. The newspaper says that back of the telegram "is hidden an amazing story of an exceptionally beautiful, determined and high spirited young woman, who, though hopelessly in love with her rich young husband, divorced him and 'sold him back to his family for $200,000. To that unusual procedure is now added a touch of adventure by fleeing to China or India to outwit his family and regain him, or lose herself from the world."

Declare Five-Day Week and Fi p-Hour Day Would Be Benefit in Economic Situation i By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Dec. 4 Representative employers and labor leaders in Cleveland, who have been seeking a solution of unemployment and other economic disturbances in the United States, were afrreed today after extended conferences that the solution of these problems eventually will be obtained by a nationwide shortening of working hours in both business and Industry. The five day week and even the five hour day are not far distant In American life, these employers and labor leaders agreed, as the result of the high production per capita in all kinds of commodities made possible by modern science and Invention.

Employer Favor Five Day Week Edgar E. Adams, one of the largest employers of labor here, took a stand in favor of a five day week. He would "start the ball rolling" by asking President Hoover to put all Government employes on a five day basis and have Congress declare Saturday a legal holiday, he said. Alex F. Whitney, president of the Bt-otherhood of Railroad Trainmen, was one of the labor leaders of similar opinion.

"The railroad industry should be on a five hour day or have a shorter week," he said. "During the past five years more than 250.000 railroad men have been thrown out of work by labor saving (ievitrs." "Labor saving machines throw the workman out of a Job, whereas he should be the first to benefit by them." declared James J. Hoban, president of the Cleveland Typo- giaphical union. Nelson Rupp, assistant to the president of the White Motor sp.id he favored a five day week. Aqree Plan to Help Economic Situation All of these employers and labor leaders, and many others at the conference, agreed that the plan of spurring public construction projects, advocated at President Hoover's prosperity conference; would help the economic situation in the near future, but were of the opinion that the Hoover plan will aid only temporarily.

The eventual solution, they held, will put "all the people to work on a basis of five hours a day and five days a week, instead of allowing many people to be tin-employed while others work eight hours a day, six days a week," and the standard of living under the changed working plan can be held just as high as at present, they said.

WITH NANCY CARROLL JACK OAKIE HELEN KANE You'll Rave About IT'S A WOW! AND THEN TOMORROW THE By ROBERT H. BEST (United Press Correspondent) VIENNA, Dec. 4 The Archduke Francis Ferrdinand, whose murder at Sarajevo touched off the World war In 1914, advised against hostilities as early as 190S. archives of the Austrian government reveal.

Eight volumes of hitherto unpublished government documents, dealing with the dangerous six years preceding the conflict, include the following private letter from the ill-fated archduke to Foreign Minister Aehrenthal: Fears Arousing Of Balkan Ire "I am entirely of the opinion of your excellency that war must not come. We would obtain no advantage. It would appear as if we wanted to arouse the Balkan dog. which is instigated by England and perhaps by Italy to a premature, hasty warlike move. "I think our representatives at Belgrade (the Serbian capital) and Cetinje tthe Montenegrin capital) should speak firm language, but all wars, mobilizations and troop movements ought to be avoided.

I agree with you that the war lust of our dear Marshal Conrad should be dampened." Other documents in the collection now being made public reveal Austrian fears first of English and then of Russian provocation leading to the conflagration. Secret diplomacy, beginning in 190S with Austria's desire to annex Bosnia, of which Sarajevo was the capital, and later Russia's alliance with certain Balkan nations, are dealt with. British King's Comment Told The archives show that Count Chevenhuler, Austria-Hungary's ambassador to Paris, reported that the Turkish minister to London in formed lit fellow diplomats that King Edward TH had told him: "Your boycott against Russia is a wonderful idea. Continue it" Count Chevenhuler added in his report: "England is giving ruinous advices. She wants to drive France to war.

Clemenceau and Pichon have been told that the moment for revenge Is here and will never again be so favorable, because Austria-Hungary is busy in the Balkans and cannot help her ally, Germany."
