President Hoover will select Jurors to try his case against the organization. Charging William H.

Gardiner, president of the League, with dis-. geminating "untruths" about his naval policy, the Chief Executive intends to appoint a committee before which, he says, government agencies will demonstrate the League's statements are baseless. The committee will be composed partly of League members. There were indications that Mr. Hoover had begun marshalling facts upon his side of the controversy.

Among his cailers today were Secretary Adams and Admiral Hugh Rodman, retired. Neither would comment upon leaving the White House as to the subject of their conference, or whether they had discussed the Navy League controversy. The Secretary of the Navy consistently has declined to make any statement concerning Gardiner's claims that the President intended to "starve" the navy; that unre-vealed agreements had been reached in 1929 between Mr. Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain, and that his policies would resnult in an unfavorable comparison between the United States fleet and those of England and Japan. Ask Mayor to Fix Responsibility in School Site Delay Greater Brooklyn Property Owners Assert Overcrowding Is the Result Charging that delay in selection of school sites has caused part time and serious overcrowding in Brooklyn schools, the Greater Brooklyn Property Owners Association yesterday requested Mayor Walker to hold a public hearing on the matter this week.

The Mayor is urged to fix responsibility for the delay and to expedite the school building program. In his letter Harry Weinberg, association said that of the school projects under construction now only six are In Brooklyn, whereas 14 are in Queens. "This would seem an undue favoritism to the Borough of Queens," Weinberg wrote. Delay in school site selection, the letter stated, "is obviously due to the controversies between the Board of Education and the Controller, all of which has not and will not produce school sites and facilities. Your board and the office of the Mayor should not permit interdepartmental disputes as to the method of site selection to interfere with the educational progress of the city." Weinberg declared that "in innumerable Instances parents, the taxpayers, are compelled to send their children to private Institutions in order to provide them with a suitable education, denied them because of lack of facilities in our public schools." Arkansas Farmers Harvest Boom Crop Little Rook, Oct.

31 (JP) Looking back upon last year's drought as a blessing in disguise, Arkansas farmers are fast paying their debts and visualizing better times as they harvest the largest and most diversified crop in recent history.

"Like two doves" they lived together for 75 years until 10 years ago, when "together they watched the angel of death come in the window for "Never a quarrel, never a cross word passed between them, and young folks today could have the same happiness if they weren't crazy," said Mrs.

Rothschild. Opposes Divorces Divorces receive no approval from the centenarian. "Investigate before you marry," he advises. "Look around, don't hurry and then you won't have anything to regret." He courted his wife only a year, but that was in Poland, where brides come well vouched for. The old man takes his load of years lightly.

Happy memories, a comfortable bank account amassed through tailoring and a strong faith that takes him to the home's synagogue regularly for psalms and reading these all contribute to the peace expressed in his sunken, light blue eyes. Except for feebleness, he Is physically fit. Yesterday, while his companions, mere youngsters of 80 and 90, indulged in after-luncheon naps, he was active around his quarters. His skin is like wrinkled parchment, but he still possesses his own teeth, that is, some of them, and beneath his black cap are plenty of grap wisps of hair. Oldest Resident He is the oldest resident in the home at Howard and Dumont Aves.

Until the past year, he had the company of three other venerablcs. Now that they are gone, he spends much of his time in the home's synagogue. He uses no eye glasses when reading. He doesn't bother with the radio for the Jewish hour. He hasn't time for radio because the daily schedule of the home Is a full one breakfast at 7 a.m., then a nap.

Lunch and another nap. Dinner and to bed at 6:30 p.m And, between eating and resting, the syn agogue. Everyone in the institution likes Mr. Rothschild. They enjoy listening to his mellow philosophy.

Among the subpenas were two Issued to the Bank of Manhattan Trust Company, of whose affiliate, the Manhattan Company, Harris is i an officer, and the Chase Securities Corporation, where reposes the sizable Walker-Sherwood "tin box." Seabury, it was learned yesterday, entertains little hope of ascertaining what were the contents of the "tin box" as recently as Oct. 3 last, when the absent Sherwood conveyed a power of attorney to Harris to 1 open the cache. Sheriff Thomas M. Farley of Manhattan, first of the tin-box cohorts, will probably be served this week with a court order directing him to hold the box in The expectation is, however, that "Tin Box Tom" will find the cache ampty, or virtually so, when and it tuch a step is taken.

From his smiles it was evident that the old man was enjoying the interview. Asked if he would like to go up in an airplane, he replied, "Why not? Everybody is doing it. I'm no different from anybody else."

Sherwood's intentions as he rode aboard a United States bound train were unknown. The agent, before entraining, was quoted as stating that he would pay no attention to the Supreme Court order obtained by Seabury calling upon him to appear before the court, in person or by attorney, on Nov. 9 and show cause why a $100,000 fine should not be levied against his property.

Sherwood was also represented as pooh-poohing the idea that Seabury could find possessions of his in the amount of $100,000 to attach. Later dispatches quoted Burton Wilson, Sherwood's attorney in Mexico City, as stating that the Mayor's agent planned to return to New York within two weeks.
