5 4 Paris, Oct. 3 In the Right Honorable James Ramsay MacDonald, coming up New York Bay tomorrow on the Ber engaria, New Yorkers will see what might be called the clas I Hv.Vi A if Us V5V hi Atioclated Prest Phota Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson (right), and Valerian Dovgalevsky, Soviet Ambassador in Paris, who have agreed to an exchange of Ambassadors, thus paving the way for full resumption of trade and commerce between England and Adult Education Expert Will Try to Lift Brooklyn sical facade of the British British Labor party. This dignified, courteous and even slightly pompous Prime Minister, whose resonant voice speaks in periods which come very close to being scholarly, Is comparable to a set of Greek columns at the front of a structure which, once you are past Its portals, turns out to be a log house with the bark still on some of the logs. MacDonald could carry a title as it should be carried. He has Just enough British hauteur.

Just the proper statellness of speech, the proper carefulness of phraseology to carry a "Sir" before his name with becoming aplomb. Has No Vmcouthness. There is none of the uncouthness about him that clings to those of his cabinet who have at one time or another actually labored with their backs and hands In mines and mills or who have acquired the labor leader manner as heads of trades unions, The rest of the Labor cabinet J. H. Thomas, John Robert Clynes, Ben Turner or even Foreign Minis ter Arthur Henderson would be ridiculous in any such role.

Sidney Webb, who has been elevated to the peerage as Lord Fassfleld, Is al ready so. Of course here and in the rude interior of the Labor govern ment structure are de luxe bits of architecture, such as Sir Oswald Moseley, who is as out of the picture as a finely polished and fluted Corin thlan column In a lumber camp bunk-house. But in the main the Labor government is obviously "la bor." In the week that Prime Minister MacDonald remains in Washington something Important may be learned about the Labor party's classical front. Americans may have time to examine these Ionic columns and this imposing pediment. They may be the first to learn positively whether it is made, as it should be, of sound stone, or whether it is com posed equally of handsome but less durable stucco, likely to peel and crack on exposure to weather.

Hollow Ring Suspected. There is a growing suspicion among those in Europe who have had an opportunity to observe Mr. MacDonald at close range that the latter may be true, that the resound ing declarations with which he states his policies and intentions, and with which he describes his acts, nave a slightly hollow ring. The exigencies of politics probably permit no man to reconcile his words absolutely either with his acts or with facts, a difficulty that Mr. Coolidge, for example, got around by using practically no words, and by making those he used mean very little.

Mr. MacDonald is another sort. He has a ready tongue and talks abundantly. He likes to say things Impressively. He likes to make strong statements.

He has already shown on several occasions that he likes to. describe things as he would wish to have them rather than as they really are. Seen as Self-Righteons. He likes to picture Mr. MacDon ald as the bright and righteous leader showing the world the way, and virtuously contemptuous of the pet tinesses of less forthright and con scientious statesmen.

Three times in his striking address at the League Assembly at Geneva he yielded to the orator's strongest temptation, that of making his statement of fact better than the fact itself. Number one brought rousing cheers from the Assembly. It was the declaration that London and Washington were in absolute accord on naval limitation on all but three points out of twenty, and that on these three agreement would be reached before the end of the As sembly. Secretary of State SUmson made a prompt though cautious cor rection within a few hours. Trod on Canada's Toes.

Number two was the fine oratori cal period In which he gave uninformed listeners the Impression thst he, J. Ramsay MacDonald. was leading a headlong rush to slim the "optional clause," by which the sig natory nation accepts the obligatory Jurisdiction of the World Court. "I hope that this session will be known as the 'optional clause he said with proprietary unction. The Canadian delegation- ncttloH by this part of MacDonald's speech, took pairs the next morning to point out puuuciy inai Canada was, among the British Empire nations, the first to signify her Intention to PLAN 10 BOOST PIERJCILITIES Brooklyn Can Easily Give Space to 1,000 Ft.

Giants, Port Advocates State, An intensive campaign to attract the fastest transatlantic passenge; traffic to Brooklyn by emphasizing the superior ability of this boro to furnish 1.000-foot piers got undct way today with a meeting of the Port and Terminals Committee ol the Brooklyn Chamber of Com merce. Among those voicing the claims ol Brooklyn, as opposed to those ol Manhattan, were Col. Edward C. Carrington. president of the Hudson River Navigation Company; William C.

Redfjeld, former Secretary cf Commerce, and Lewis H. Pounds, president of the Brooklyn Real Estate Board. Colonel Carrington pointed oul that only six transatlantic lines are actually interested in the operation of vessels of the class. "Of these," he added, "only one. the Hamburg-American Line, la actually provided with permanent piers in Manhattan of sufficient length safely operate these sea giants.

This line pays a rental of $570,000 a year, which is a considerable Item In ths budget of any line. Prohibitive Cost. "The Increased costs of construction in Manhattan," he continued, "produce a grave situation. The piers on the North River have constantly encroached on the fairway of the river until it will be necessary for the city, in further extending these piers, to dig into the rocky shore at prohibitive cost. "If these lines were to move to Brooklyn and utilize the much cheaper and superior waterfront facilities provided there, passengers would reach Manhattan more quickly than they do now, as the ships would avoid local river traffic In the Inner harbor.

The congested street traffic In Manhattan would also be materially relieved." Postmaster Albert Flrmln called attention to the necessity of zoning harbor traffic. He said the Hudson River lines should naturally be placed upon the North River, the Sound lines on the East River and that the transatlantic lines should be as near the ocean as possible. Redflrld Cites Facilities. Mr. Redfleld emphasized that Brooklyn Is slated for some very important physical Improvements bearing on the pier question.

He pointed out that the Narrows Tunnel has been approved, and a crosstown artery from Bay Ridge to the Trl-Boro Bridge must follow soon. Tha proposed Hamilton ave. tunnel to the Battery he cited as another facility which will make Brooklyn thj best point from which to distribute passengers of the large liners. At the present time officials of tiio North German Lloyd say that they ran place passengers In the hotel district of Manhattan more quickly than when they docked In the Chelsea district of Manhattan, Mr. Pounds stated.

The Army Bae plci i at 68th st. have been suggested as Ideal places for the docking of other big liners than the Bremen by other Brooklyn shipping authorities. William H. Raab of the Todd Shipyards Corporation called attention to the fact that a trip of several hours by rail is necessary to reacli the principal cities of England and France through the ports of Cherbourg. Southampton, Plymouth and Havre and that no objection had ever been raised to this by traveler).

He added that he could not understand how a half hour trip tr the hotel and theater center of Manhattan from Brooklyn could ba of overshadowing importance In the Port of New York.

The St. Cecilia Maternity Hospltrl Guild held a luncheon and card party yesterday at the Foodrraft Shop In the Wllllamsburgh Ban building. A lecture on pure foods was delivered by Mrs. Elsie Ooodwln after the luncheon. Proceeds will be given to the St.

Cecilia Maternity Hospital at Richardson and Humboldt sis. Miss Eatelle M. Corcoran was chairman of Socialist Expected to Win Many G. P. and Independent Ballots.

By CLINTON MOSHER. Nonnan Thomas, returning to the political front as the Socialist candidate for Mayor, will receive something more this year than the accustomed few votes that go to the standard bearer of the so-called radicals, according to present indications. The man who has run for President, Governor and Mayor In previous elections proDably will find his normal voting strength greatly Increased this November by reason of the protest vote that Is bound to register itself on Election Day. Unless all signs fail, he will be given the votes of countless Republicans and independents formerly allied with the Tammany candidate who find themselves unwilling to support either Congressman Fiorello H. LaGuardia or Mayor Walker.

Why Republicans Will Bolt. Republicans, a great number of them probably, will rally to the Socialist candidate as a protest against the selection of LaGuardia as the nominee for Mayor, as a protest against his conduct in virtually demanding the place on the ticket and threatening a primary fight against the leaders' choice if he were not selected. They will give Thomas the benefit of their dislike for the fiery little Congressman, which comes in part from his spectacular antics such as manufacturing home brew In his office in Washington and illustrating a lecture on the floor of the House about the alleged meat trust by waving an emaciated-looking lamb chop and a Juicy steak in the faces of his colleagues. Still others of his own party will find it difficult if not impossible to vote for LaGuardia because of the fact that he once ran on the Socialist ticket and again as an independent. Ordinarily, the Tammany candidate might be counted on to corral these disgruntled voters, but the fact of the matter this year is that a great number of protest votes will lost by Mayor Walker.

His own antics, including late rising, short hours at City Hall, the off-stage rumbles of the Rothstein case and other features of the administration. are due to work against him. Of course no sane observer would predict the election of Thomas. Walker appears to be the favorite, but it is equally sure that the man who as a boy sold the Marlon Star for the late Warren G. Harding and has come to be a powerful Influence in his own city, will receive a surprisingly large vote.

Distinct Thomas Sentiment. This prediction is based, in part, on the discovery of a distinct Thomas sentiment among persons who have heretofore supported the Republican or Democratic candidate. Thev have voted for the Dem ocrat because they believed him to be the better candidate or lor the Republican because they believed he had the better chance 01 overxnrow-ing an administration they had come to dislike. But this year this Independent vote appears to be headed toward Thomas. This sentiment found its expression originally as a bon mo; bandied around at exclusive gatherings, among the Intelligentsia, at the more expensive golf clubs.

It now comes from mature thought rather than from an effort to be clever. These very same persons, although sincere In their Intention to give Thomas a protest vote, undoubtedly would crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over their heads if they awoke the day after election and found that New York City had elected a Socialist Mayor. Thomas, refined, dignified and very well educated, is a radical only in the academic sense of the word. He was opce arrested for his strike activities in New Jersey and he shocked a great many worshippers by declaring on his emergence from Union Theological 8emlnary in 1911 that he did not believe In the Virgin Birth. He is mild of speech, extremely pleasant and blessed with a delightful sense of humor.

Hence his popularity. T-l 4t- Im mil IUBV rll lUt 111 when as the Socialist candidate for Oovemor he opposed AI Smith and Theodore Roosevelt, the son of the late President. The vote in New York City was: Smith, 972.941; Roosevelt, 417,975, and Thomas, 44.853. In 1925, the Socialist party nominated him for Mayor to oppose Walker and Prank D. Waterman.

The figures were: Walker, Waterman, and Thomas. 39.574. Last year Thomas entered the fray as the Socialist candidate for President. The vote In the city was Smith. 1.167.971; Hoover, Thomas, 51.006.

There appear to be better things in store for the candidate this year. But at best it win be only a protest vote. Flatbush Center Juniors Install The installation of officers of the Junior League of the Jewish Communal Center of Flatbush. was held in the ballroom of the Center. Ave.

3 (IF) Opposition to a proposal by Controller of the Currency J. W. Pole for further concentration of national wealth Into branch banking systems, and the inauguration of John G. Lonsdale of St. Louis, as president of the American Bankers' Association marked the organization's final ceneral session here today.

Delegates were addressed yesterday by Controller Pole, who told of heavy casualties suffered by national bank forces in recent years despite general business prosperity. Mr. Pole proposed protection of the survivors by permitting the national banks to acquire branches and ob tain the business advantages of large scaie operations. Opposition to such a plan found expression in a resolution adopted Dy tne state Bank division. Action on the controversial ques tion was not expected by most, dele gates today, although it was sue gested in some quarters that the convention might vote for creation or a special committee or commit' tees to gather data on bank mergers ana sales.

TERMINAL MARTS NORMAL DESPITE FOOD STRIKE TALK Fruit Auctions Resumed To day Boss Truckmen to Discuss Drivers' Demands In spite of the threat of a strike of 2,000 market truck' drivers in Manhattan at midnight unless an agreement is reached with the boss truckmen, conditions at the railroad terminals along the lowest west shore of Manhattan had returned to normal this morning following a brief panic yesterday which resulted in calling off the fruit auctions. At the freight office of the Penn sylvania Railroad it was reported that 119 cars of fruit had arrived over the Pennsylvania and the Erie Railroads and that the morning auctions were held as usual. Before the auction opened at 8:30 a.m.

a large amount of private buying was reported, Beginning as early as 4 a.m. Buyers, it was reported, were not attempting to stock up heavily anticipation of a possible tieun. Two factors were responsible for this, it was said: The perishable nature of the shipments and the fact that most merchants already were heavily stocked In preparation for the Jewish holidays. At the Manhattan Produce Yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad between Jersey City and Newark. 480 cars of grapes were being sold.

The boss truckmen's organization was to meet this afternoon to consider further the demands of the drivers for an 8-hour day and time and a half for overtime. They failed to reach any definite decision at two long meetings yesterday. The boss truckmen of Wallabout Market accepted the union terms last Saturday. Wallabout Market, nevertheless, would feel the effect of a strike of the Manhattan truckmen, since virtually all the fresh fruit and vegetables sold at Wallabout are brought from Washington Market in Manhattan.

The 10.000 11 bills were in a tin box that Joe's shovel uncovered. He took them down to Federal Building, for the bills were old and he wanted new ones of larger denominations. A little later he as bark at the End of the Rainbow asking his foreman for his Job.

Macuonaia astonished his hearers a third time by announcing that the trouble in Palestine "Is nn Sconfllct between Moslem and -Jew, out a common political crime." Exactly what the Prime Minister meant by "common political crime" nas never Deen explained, but cer wumy all the evidence that has come out of Palestine has made what happened there look very much like a clash between Moslem and Jew. Uses Frequently. A much more liberal use of the iirsc personal pronoun than is the custom among veteran statesmen also characterizes the new Prime Minister's speeches and conversations.

"Mr. Hoover and and "my Foreign Minister," are common expressions, and though they are small details, the fact that MacDonald uses them habitually, and that his predecessors In Great Britain and his fellow statesmen on the Continent did not and do not. Indicates that his thinking is different from theirs. Much of this tendency to overstate the facts, and to overemphasize the "my" and "me" is perhaps attributable to the fact that Mr. MacDonald is new In office and is anxious that he and his government should make a creditable showing as soon as possible.

Must Make Good Showing. He has spent years criticizing everything done or said by the Conservative government. He must now appear, at least, to do differently and better. He has fought for decades to be head of the government of Great Britain. It is natural that he should emphasize his capability.

In a year, or two years, when he is defending what his government has done, rather than overturning what a past government has accomplished, he will probably speak more guardedly. It is well to realize, however, that for the present at least his utterances should be measured by another yard-stick than that used on the discourses of more exnerienced statesmen. Most of them mean more than they say. MacDonald has shown a tendency to say more than he means, and his hearers will do well to carry a few grains of salt with them when they go to listen. A Virile Figure.

He is, none the less, a refreshing and virile figure among the statesmen of the world. He is erect and lean and physically sound, which can be said of few of them. That his eyes are bad Is betrayed only by his almost surreptitious use of eyeglasses whenever he has to look at anything food at the table, documents, photographs or other objects which must be dealt with close up. His speaking manner and his voice are strikingly similar to those of Dr. Newell Dwight Hillls in his best period, than which few are better.

As a parliamentary debater, or as a campaign speaker, he could make anybody he will meet at Washington look like rather ordinary potatoes. $10,000 Slander Suit Brought by Ex-Employee A sealed verdict was to be opened today before Justice Charles J. Druhan In the Queens Supreme Court In the $10,000 slander action brought by Harry Chaputlan of 31st Astoria, against the H. Ml-chaelyan Company, rug merchants, of 20 W. 47th Manhattan.

The plaintiff charged yesterday that his reputation was injured when H. Mlchaelyan, president of the defendant company, falsely accused him of stealing a rug. He said that, although he was not arrested, he was unable to obUIn employment for some time because of the accusation. The slander, Chaputlan said, occurred on Dec. 24.

Miss Rosenberg Noted for Her Ability to Keep Secrets Campaigns Against War.

By CHARLES ODT (Special Correspondent of The Eagle-) London, Sept. 24 (By Mail) Miss Rose Rosenberg, whom Ramsay MacDonald is bringing with him as his secretary during his visit to the North American continent, Is of Jewish origin, a circumstance sug gested. alike by her name and her appearance, for she is a brunette, petite, with a countenance that Is generally smiling and often conveys the Impression of being swarthy. Miss Rosenberg's ancestors were by way of being landed folks in one of the Baltic states about 100 years ago; since then, however, the fan lly has fallen on comparatively bad times, and in these days the people who know Rose admire her most of all because, although as the private secretary to a Prime Minister she Is doing pretty well, she does not overlook the claims of some of her relatives to whom fortune lias not been so kind. She would be richer today If she had been a little less unselfish.

Naturally her work makes considerable demands on her time, and especially when the House of Commons Is in session she has to carry on until very late. Nevertheless. sne manages to sustain a lively In terest in music and dancing, two tnings or which she Is very fond. Collects Wearing Apparel. Miss Rosenberg welcomes attentions on the part of her numerous men friends, and If any tone offers to take her out to luncheon or dinner she displays an admirable taste for everything pertaining to the gastronomic art, nor Is her choice of wines to be despised.

One of her most curious hobbies though she would Indignantly deny that It was a hobby is to collect articles of wearing apparel, especially gloves and shoes. She is invariably dressed in the best of taste. Miss Rosenberg's earliest connection with anything in the nature of politics was before the war when she Joined the Women's Social and Political Union, the famous organization which, in its campaign to get British women the vote, poured gasoline Into letter boxes and then set fire to them; caused Its members to chain themselves to Iron railings outside the residences of Ministers of the Crown; spoiled the Derby, England's classic racing event, by permitting a woman to throw herself in front of the King's horse at the cost of her own life, and even went to the length of burning a church. That was the Women's Social and Political Union, the old "suffragette" organisation, in its palmiest days; but before it had reached that stage Miss Rosenberg had left it and had begun to Interest herself In the Labor movement. Works Against War.

Perhaps It was her horror of violence that led her to oppose the war; anyhow It is certain that she went to the trouble to get a thorough grasp of the military service acts, and having done so, she placed her knowledge at the disposal of the conscientious objectors, many of whom were able to profit substantially by her expert advice. Then she Joined the staff of the Labor party head office and it was not long before Mr. MacDonald took her for his private secretary. In this capacity she has served him very well, for not only is she a methodical woman, but she has the valuable gift of being able to keep secrets. Max Phillips af 45 Takes Bride of 19 Eatontown, N.

His services Imve Just been obtained by the Brooklyn Conference on Adult Education, a permanent organization of 27 leaders in Brooklyn Institutions of higher learning. It alms to lead Brooklyn into a new social order where there will be a worthwhile popular culture and its people will be bred upward mentally, morally and physically. Dr. Lorlmer will survey the ground both for agencies at work fostering education for adults and for adults seeking that education correlate It into a composito. working whole so that the adult education movement can firmly take root.

To Dr. Lorlmer, an Intensive young Ph.D., the ultimate aim will be to make Brooklyn's people lift themselves by their bootstraps to more lofty heights. $11,000 for Ground Work. Several months ago the Carnegie Foundation gave this Brooklyn adult education movement a grant of $11,000 to carry on preliminary work. It, in short.

Dr. Lorlmer says. will surpass any research or like movement of adult education in this country. Adult education Is not new. It has been tried in England, in Denmark and Germany, and successfully.

Buffalo and Cleveland have tried it. But never has it been attempted in this country such a scale as the backers propose for Brooklyn. Quietly It will work away. Surveys will be made of agencies offering education in its many forms to adults through lecture courses, university extension, little theater movements, the Academy of Music and the like. Correlate Needs and Facilities.

On the other hand, there will be surveys made in the shop, in industries, in financial houses. In the home and in the street to determine, first of all, Just what percentage of people continue education In adulthood and who these persona arc. Then there will follow the correlation of the two different sides the people's needs with that offered by the educational agencies. An ordinary education Is but an apprenticeship, be It high school or college, Dr. Lorlmer believes.

How a person educates himself after school life is the true test of education, he adds. If the person learns how to finish his education, the professor reasoned, he will have made the summer and autumn of his tile worth while. No Direct Methods Yet. "The study I shall make will be merely a direct approach to workers in the various Industries or people in the various walks of life In Brooklyn, with a view of finding the process at work that are shap ing the adult mind. We can set down no direct methods for our work Just now.

A more definite program will be formulated as we go along." Within three weeks the Conference of Adult Education, of which Seymour Barnard Is chairman, will meet to better formulate policies.
