While on the presidential yacht, passing through the canal, the presi- dent said that a similar project in cooperation with the Mexican Gov- ernment will be started in Southern California. M YD Interviewed in his suite at the Waldorf yesterday, David Weiner, the noted inventor, deeclared that his new invention, colored television, was progressing most satisfactorily. The present flaws are technical ones, visible only to the trained eye. Mr. Weiner claims that colored television will be in common use in two years. 30 30 After a business transaction which occupied a good part of the after- noon, the Manager of The New York Giants, a professional football team, declared that Ierry De Nisco, former Capt. of a T.R.H.S. team, has just signed a long term contract with the Giants. Mr. De Nisco who, in his high school days, was twice selected as all-Scholastic, will play left guard for the Giants next season. U W For the first time in its history, The New York Times has chosen a woman as its city editor. Miss Caro- line Rief, the new editor, who re- ceived her training at Theodore Roosevelt H. S. where she was Gen- eral News Editor of The Square Deal, saw no reason for astonishment since women occupy equally import- ant places in the world of business, as men. so so Frederick Gonzales, acting as the U. S. Representative at the Allied Powers Peace Conference, told the League of Nations yesterday that America would not interfere in the Antarctic Situation.

The emi- nent author and Pulitzer prize win- ner has already completed one book this year, but it is his opinion that the forthcoming volume would be the best work. Db N The task of decorating the lobby of the new Federal Building at Wash- ington D. C., has recently been given to Muriel Daly and Val Gerolstein. These two noted artists have already drawn plans for the job and are eager to commence work. Both as Arista students attended T. R. H. S., the Bronx, where they excelled in the Art course. DD 30 Phil Lo Medico, the idol of a million female movie goers, arrived in New York last night. Mr. Lo Medico, who has recently been vacationing in London, completed a picture while there, titled The Will of the Gods.
