Healy, Tammany district leader, and Thomas T. Tommaney pleaded not guilty today t6 an indictment charging them with offering to procure an ap- pointment to public office for a con- sideration, and were held for trial in $2,500 bail each. The two were indicted Friday by a special grand jury, which also returned indictments against Mr. and Mrs. F. Ewald, after an inquiry into charges that Mrs. Ewald paid to Healy, through Tommaney, $10,000 in connec- tion with the appointment of Ewald to the city magistrates’ bench in 1927. Office Buying Charged. The indictment against the Ewalds charges them with office buying. They | have pleaded not guilty and are held | in similar bail, fixed by Supreme Court | Justice McCook, who is presiding over | the extraordinary grand jury. October 6 was set by the court for hearing motions in the cases of all four defendants. 1. Nicholas Gordon, the Ewalds’ coun- sel, told newspaper men the State would be “unable to prove any case against my clients.” It was reported today that when the special grand jury convenes Wednes- day it may ask instructions about the possibility of widening the scope of thelr inquiry. Another Indictment Likely. Justice McCook has told the jury it might scrutinize any evidence indi- cating existence of a system by which city judgeships were purchased, but Special Prosecutor Todd, representing the attorney general, has indicated the inquiry would be held closely to further investigation of the Ewald case. One more indictment is reported to be ex- Mayor Walker, former Tammany Hall Chieftain George W. Olvany, present Tammany Leader John F.

By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 22.—The pro- posal to harmonize the League of Na- tions covenant with the Briand-Kel- logg pact ran against obstacles in the Juridical Committee of the League As- sembly today. Nobumi Ito, the Japanese member, suggested that the question of principle as to the desirability of amending the covenant was first to be determined. As a member of the committee of 11 jurists who worked out the proposed amendments, he took the same position when that body was deliberating last Spring, but he was overruled. His col- leagues held that the Assembly last year had decided in favor of the amendment. It asked the committee today first to decide this question of prineiple. Dr. Vasco de Quevedo of Portugal also cast some doubts on the propriety of amending the League's constitutional instruments. He thought it would be more fitting to amend the Kellogg pact to make it harmonize with the League covenant than to change the covenant in order to make the covenant agree with the Kellogg pact. ‘The Austrian delegate, Max Hof- finger, expressed the opinion that the Assembly already had dectded it was desirable to amend the covenant. Contains Root Form ‘The American connection with this incident and with the protocol for re- vision are of interest to all of the League members. ‘The protocol for membership of the United States in the World Court contains the Elihu Root formula, which embodies guar- antees of protection of American in- terests if and when another nation pro- r"!. to ask the court’s advisory orln- ion on any case involving American interests. This advisory opinion will | ¥V not be rendered without the consent of the American Government. ‘The protocal for revision of statutes, a parallel instrument to the other, con- tairs provisions which carry similar guarantees and furthermore would make these guarantees the law of the court of embodying them in its statutes. As long as enactment of the protocol of revision is held up these guarantees which is embodies and which the Am- erican Government relles upon as grounds for American entry into the World Court, remain inactive. Thus Cuba, while obstructing full adoption of the protocol for revision, is held to be menacing ratification by the American Senate of the protocol for American entry into the Court. Greek Minister Apologizes. Nicholas Politis, Greek foreign min- ister, today made public amends to Cuba for the resentment he aroused last week by publicity criticizing Cuban opposition to immediate entry in force of the protocol. M. Politis expressed his regret that anything he had said had wounded Cuban feelings. Dr. Orestes Ferrara, the Cuban chief delegate, who had drawn Politis’ fire, and who had re- taliated in the Assembly, acknowledged the Greek statesman’s apology and ex- pressed his appreciation for the “noble speech,” containing his “entirely satis- factory explanation of his attitude.” M. Poltis assured Senor Ferrara and his colleagues of the Assembly Commit- tee before which the original clash had sccurred, that anything he had sald had risen out of his extreme anxiety lest We will make a reliable estimate of What gas will cost to heat your home; and it may be less than any other fuel, but that can only be determined after a qualified engineer has surveyed your particular heating Again, you may enjoy this great convenience fuel, gas, in your home with the renowned Conversion Burner “JANITROL”’ which will make your present heating plant a gas-fired boiler or on your gas bill until the balance is paid.

Seen as Happy Omen. ‘The reconciliation w;;.uen h‘ry As- sembly delegates as & happy circum- lmm:ey -nde:'n omen for & not distant enactment of the protocol. M. Politis and Senor Ferrara first gave indication of their reconciliation by entering the committee chatting amiably. Cuba’s objection to immediate entry into force of the protocol of revision is said to be the chief obstacle to its en- actment. Twenty-two other states be- sides Cuba have not ratified the proto- col, but all except Cuba have indicated that they will not oppose its coming into force. Cuba objects on the ground that the procedure is unconstitutional. She also opposes permanent sessions of the ‘World Court and increased salaries for judges as provided in the revised statute. In the Economic Committee the al- leged grave consequences of Soviet dumping of agricultural products were called to attention by representatives of Rumania and Finland. Joint Remedial Action Urged. Virgil Madgeru, the Rumanian min- ister of industry and commerce, urged that the most favored nation clause be restricted to commerce and cereals. Southeastern European agricultural countries, he sald, are about crushed between the “unlimited com- petition of grain exporters overseas and the Soviet dumping.” Unless some Joint remedial action can be decided upon to relieve the farming states of Europe, Rumania, he said, will be forced to revise her tariffs upward. “This dumping,” asserted the Ru- manian, “presents a grave aspect be- cause of its political character. When & people exports its products without taking into account its Internal needs it shows that it Is pursuing political puroses.” Pierre Flandin, French minister of comemrce and industry, in the Eco- nomic Committee, proposed the setting up of a permanent organization to deal with disputes arising out of the appli- cation and interpretation of commercial conventions between groups of nations. . Flandin enunciated again the Prench thesis of arbitration and securi- a8 essential before disarmament, ap- %lyli;g the viewpoint to the economic eld.
