WALSH BACKS HYDE IN SOVIET WARNING Georgetown Eduactor De-| clares Compromise With ; Russia Would Be Peril. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, 8. J., vice! president of Georgetown University, in | hic second public lecture last nllht“ in Gacton Hall on the Soviet five-year | plan of industrialization, characterized| it as “the last trench of militant bol- shevism.” Asserting that the recent Russian | short sales in the Chicago Grain Ex-| change had “taken $1,000,000 from | American pockets to further the great world revolution,” Dr. Walsh defended Secretary of Agriculture Hyde for his recent attack on these manipulations in the market. To agree with those who have charge. Secretary Hyde with “drawing a red herring across the trail to bolster up a Republican administra- tion and divert attention from farm re- | lief,” Dr. Walsh said, would be to “close one’s eyes and ears to a mass of similar evidence in Europe.” Calls Compromise Peril. “As one of the half million disen- franchised citizens of th> District of Columbia, I_owe political allegiance to neither of the major political parties,’ he added. that it would be deplorable for either | party to drag the Russian record into the already murky waters of partisan politics and there transform a historical | fact of international importance into a red herring or a red snapper. “A political party, whether it be in | or out of power, that would compromise | with the Russian challsnge,” Dr. Walsh | added, “does so at its own peril, per- | forms a national disservicz and bestows | aid, comfort and profit on the public | enemies of the United States in the Kremlin.” Dr. Walsh said th: Russian wheat manipulations should not be regarded as an “isolated phenomenon,” but as a | “characteristic act of a government with | England, | France, Germany and Belgium, he de- clared, had felt the eflects of this i Rceyfemnx to the colossal endeavor to industrialize Russia in five years, Dr. Walsh said it was a final “counsel of despair” on the part of the Commu- nists. “It probably never would have been adopted if Lenin had lived,” he | suggested.

In his lecture next Friday evening Dr. Walsh will discuss the foreign pol- itical policy of the Soviet Union. 374 POLICEMEN TAKE TESTS FOR PROMOTION List Includes 319 Privates, 14 Lieutenants and 41 Sergeants From All Precincts.

[NATIONAL PARTY FILES WOMEN’S BAN PROTEST Committee Insists Textile Mills k Should Treat Both Sexes Equally. Officers of the National Woman's par- ty yesterday filled formal protest with the heads of the Cotton Textile Insti- tute against the institute’s announced plan for eliminatipn of all-night em- | ployment of women in the cotton mills. The complaint was made by a com- mittee consisting of Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, national chairman of the Wom- an’s party; Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles of Delaware, Mrs. Elizabeth Selden Rogers and Mrs. Jane Norman Smith, both of New York. The committee said they were told by the institute that the plan of elimi- nation was a step toward limiting pro- duction, and that eventually night work by _both sexes would be abolished. The members of the committee argued that women were entitled to the same privileges in the mills as men, and that it would be unfair to exclude women and not men. They also questioned the economic soundness of the plan. — SERIES IS ANNOUNCED Rev. H. W. Tolson to Deliver Ser- mons on Subject of Conscience. ‘The pastor of Westm o terian Church, Rev.

ANOTHER ARISTOTLE NEEDED, SAYS POUND Dean of Harvard Law School Traces Disillusionment to Too Much Knowledge. Need of another Aristotle to assemble modern knowledge and present it in an understandable fashion was stressed last night by Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard University Law School, in an address before the Phi Beta Kappa Association at the University Club, Dean Pound is a member of the National Law Observance and Enforce- ment Commission appointed by Presi- dent Hoover. Discussing “Philosophy as a Guide,” Dean Pound described the influence of philosophy and other subjects on va- rious generations, and said there was little difference in the results in other eras and today. “This is not the first era to call itself disillusioned,” he said. “It possible that our disillusionment is a nightmare caused by trying to diges too much learning. What we may be waiting for is another Aristotle who will assemble all this knowledge and present it in a way we can understand.” ‘The s er was introduced by Dr. George E. MacLean, president of the association. The association decided to invite five honor students from each college and university in and near ‘he District to attend future meetings. A campaign will be launched to enroll other Phi Beta Kappas in the association. There are sald to be 600 in the District, while only about 200 are members of the organization, STOP-LIGHT BANDIT STEALS $40 WATCH Colored Man Clad in Halloween Costume Leaps on Running Board as Driver Awaits Light.

Thirty per- sons were taken into custody by spe- clal details from other stations assign- ed to the first precinct for the night. Traffic Signs Scattered. Traffic signs were scattered here, there and everywhere. [Police were forced to climb up several telephone poles to retrieve warnings from their lofty perches.

GAMPAIGN PLANNED 10 BRING TOURISTS Railroad Head to Address Trade Body on Nation’s Transportation. A campaign to increase the tourist travel to Washington, which already holds an enviable record, will be started shortly by the Board of Trade, it was reported today by George Plitt, presi- dent, in announcing plans for the full day evening, when an address touching on one phase of tourist travel to the National Capital will be discussed by Daniel Willard, president of the Balti: more & Ohio Rallroad.

Pointing to the value of tourist travel to the National Capital, Mr. Plitt said that the average tourist here spends a minimum of $30 on lodging, food, cloth- ing and other wants while in this city. A feature of the Board of Trade meeting next Tuesday, aside from the address by President Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio, will be the an- nouncement of election returns from over the country, received locally from the Associated Press.
