Senator Otis F. Glenn of Illinois pre- dicted an immediate and extraordinary revival in business all over the United States within 30 days at a breakfast of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association at the Mayflower Hotel this morning. The breakfast was attended by 80 guests including 25 ugrucnhflvu of the leading industries of Ilionis, mem- bers of the Illionis congressional dele- gation and other notables invited by the association. Senator Glenn said an immediate and extraordinary revival in business will take place in this country within 30 galyl, with the passage of the tariff “It will relieve uncertainty,” he said. “Business will be tremendously ac- celerated. Some think there will be bill passed, but I am confident the House will expedite matters, because there will be little or no controversy over rates. The chief debate will be on the flexible Provlswm of the tariff, giving the President authority to meet changing competitive conditions, and also on the debenture clause. I predict that the debenture provision will be taken from the bill, and the flexible rovision, as passed by the Senate, will Ee finally adopted with some modifics + lon.” Robert Lamont, who used to be a vice president of the association, said that when he first came to Washington as Secretary of Commerce he thought that the Department of Commerce only was requested for information and service by small business and industrial concerns, but he said that he got re- quests from all parts of the country from all classes of business and for service amounting to 70,000 inquiries @ week. He mentioned specifically ofl, cotton and copper. no OPTIMIST CHIEFS FETED District Governor and Assistant Guests of Local Club.

PIGEON STEALS NEST FROM ROBIN ABOVE DOOR OF WHITE HOUSE Five Black and White Kittens Are Born Near President’s Executive Offices. In a nest which she stole from a robin, a pigeon today is sitting on eggs above President Hoover's front door, the main entrance to the White House, while a stray cat has presenmted the White House grounds with five tiny black and white kittens, born not 100 feet from the front door of the Presi- dent's executive offices. Tobin was a long time building its nest safe on top of one of the ornamental columns of the stately and famous portico. The column top juts out far enough from the west wall, to provide a convenient nesting place, be. neath the sheltering roof. Scarcely the robin finished the nest recently when a pigeon came along, drove the had | butl robin out, and today she was sitting serenly on her nest of eggs, while proud consort preened himself on top of an adjacent column. The five tiny kittens were presented to the White House grounds beneath & snug, low-hanging evergreen bush near the President’s newly remodeled | ' executive offices. Their eyes still are closed kitten-like, to the bright light beating down through the evergreens. Evidently alarmed by the big crowds filing past the new home of her tiny kittens, the mother cat started today moving them to another secluded spot somewhere nearer the White House lding. A saucer of milk was provided for the mother by men from the ex- ecutive offices. RAIL OFFICIALS CONFER WITH GRANT ON TRACKS Pennsylvania Raflroad officials con- ferred today with Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the Arlington Memorial Bri Commis- sion, on the question of relocating cer- tain portions of the carrier’s tracks going into Rosslyn, Va., 80 as to elimi- nate grade crossings on_extensions of proposed highways into Virginia. ‘The conference was made necessary the nrldly approaching completion of the Arlington Memorial Bridge and by the Lee Boulevard project.

Albert C. Ritchie, State’s Attorney J. Prank Par- ran of Prince Georges County, Col. E. Austin Baughman, commissioner of mo- tor vehicles, and the Prince Georges County commissioners of testimony al- leging the existence of a “bonding racket” in Prince Georges County as charged in Hyattsville Police Court yesterday, con- stituted the latest development today in the American Automobile Association’s effort to remedy a condition which has caused numerous complaints. Meanwhile Sergt. John Joseph Cas- sidy of the Maryland State police force, who was assigned by Col. Baughman to investigate the complaints, searched the court records at Marlkboro for cases of persons arrested and required to give bond for speeding in excess of 60 miles an hour, only to be tried for speeding more than 40 miles an hour. ‘The testimony was presented before Police Court Judge J. Chew Sheriff yes- terday afternoon, but he refused to com- ment upon it, declaring it had revealed an investigation on the part of Col. Baughman's office. Officer Is Arrested. . Cassidy, accompanied by an Ansl:]rllt’ztln Automobile Association offi- clal, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ralph Brown early Monday morning and charged with speeding in excess of 60 miles an hour. The sergeant was in civilian clothes and as an automobile mechanic. It alleged he was required to pay $100 for a $1,000 bond and told a “hard luck story” to the bondsman, who is said to have agreed to attempt to have the speed- ing chai reduced, provided he would plead guilty. leyVh:n Cassidy was l.;nlzned yente}'- e was accused of speeding only in excess of 40 miles an hour. To the surprise of the parties involved, he pleaded Brown t01d of pacing Cassidy at 57 wn of pac miles an hour and when the court asked the defendant if he cared to cross- examine the policeman Charles C. Col- lins, attorney for the A. A. A, entered the case as Cassidy’s lawyer. Collins attempted to cross-examine Brown on how the bond was obtained, but the court objected on the ground that it had nothing to do with the speeding charge. Collins replied that the fact that $1,00 mile cases was the only reason such charges were preferred. Judge Dismisses Case. Harry Heffner, a relative of Brown’s, who was with him when the arrest was made, corroborated the deputy’s testimony. Cassidy was then called, and then it was revealed for the first time that mechanic was really a State policeman. After that there was no objection con- cerning statements about the bond. He and the A. A. A. official said they were careful never to drive in ex- cess of 55 miles an hour. G. D. Dun- kum testified he tested Cassidy’s speed- ometer and found it 4 miles fast at 55 miles per hour. Judge Sheriff ruled he was :goedtn‘ in line of duty and dis- missed case. e 3 Cassidy declared that in four years on the police force he could not recall ever making an arrest for 60 miles’ speed. Very few motorists go over 50, he said. Brown consistently denied having been approached by the bondsman to reduce the speed charge, and insisted hena;n;nded the warrant of his own vol Evidence was introduced to show that George D.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., May 1.— ‘The long-expected request for removal from Prince Georges County of the trial of Lawrence Leroy Brady and his brother, Herman Brady, who were in- dicted for the Seat Pleasant bomb mur- ders, was filed by defense counsel yes- terday and resulted in Circuit Court Judge Joseph C. Mattingly ordering the case sent to Rockville. In an affidavit to the court Defense Attorneys M. Hampton Magruder, Lans- dale G. Sasscer and Frank Hall declared their clients “may not get a fair trial unless the records of the case are sent to another county.” Date for the trial of the Bradys is expected to be set Monday when the three judges of the circuit assemble in Rockville to hear arguments in the libel suit against the Rockville Independent editor and others. Although defense attorneys have been non-committal since the Bradys were indicted as to whether or not they would ask for a removal, it was gener- ally expected at the county seat that they would seek a change of venue. The case has been so widely discussed throughout Prince Georges County that court house officials anticipated diffi- culty even in obtaining a jury. ‘The Bradys were indicted two weeks ago following a protracted investigation by the grand jury. The presentments returned by that accused the brothers jointly of the murders result- ing when a bomb, disguised as a Christ- mas present, exploded in the home of John Hall, in Seat Pleasant, on New Year day. Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady, wife of Her- man, to whom the package containing the bomb was addressed, was instantly killed. Her baby brother, Samuel, and her sister, Dorothy, died a few days later from wounds inflicted by the ex- plosion. —_— Locusts Swarm in Rumania.
