Capies for Auditor. It was said by Commissioner Reich- elderfer that the two extra coples of the roil are for the auditor’s office and for the Chest itself, in order that proper check may be had. It happens that Daniel J. Donovan, | District auditor, heads the District Per- sonnel Board, and this fact is consid- {ered to have brought about this misun- | derstanding. The dispute between the American Legion and the Community Chest was brought to a head last night when the Executive Committee, meeting in the District Bullding, instructed F. G. Fraser, department commander, and a | | group of associates to meet officials of the Chest at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon jand inform them that unless they | agreed to allow the Legion to conduct its welfare work as in the past the | vetcran organization would quit the | | Chest and put on its own relief fund campaign. Situation Is Outlined. W. D. Rogers, a member of the Exec- utive Committee, who acted as Fraser's spokesman, outlined the situation\ this morning in the following statement: “Heretofore we have received a cer- tain amount every year from the Com- munity Chest to be expended for wel- fare work among the ex-service men That money has been expended by & | director and case worker appointed with the approval of Community Chest officials. This year the Chest has said to the Legion that participation must be on the terms of the Chest, which, are substantially that the money is to be expended by the Chest force and | that the service bureau the Legion has maintained must be abandoned. “Fraser appointed a subcommitee from the Executive Committee, heaced by Dr. Willilam C. Fowler, health offi- cer, to study the Chest proposal, and {'this subcommittee last night recom- | mended to the Executive Committee | that we continue on the same basis as heretofore or pull out of the Chest. Will Confer Friday. “The Executive Committee authorized | Comdr. Fraser to meet with' Chest of- ficlals on Friday afternoon, accompa- “nied by the welfare eouncil of the Le- 1glon and all living past department commanders of the Legion here, and submit this recommendation. “If the recommendation is not adopt- ed by the Chest, we pull out and put on our own drive.” The Executive Committee, represent- ing the District department, includes i its membership Maj. Gen Amos A. Fries, retired, former head of the Chem- ical Warfare Service: John Lewis Smith and Harlan C. Wood of the local bar; Paul McGahan, Willlam C. Mc- Grath and others. In connectfon with the trouble, the Executive Committee adopted & resolu- tion adopted earlier in the evening by Victory Post condemning ‘“high-hand- ,ed“ methods of some Government of- ficials In "obtaining contributions by 1“aoerclon and compulsion” and asking [ all veterans to withhold their subscrip- tions until after the meeting Friday. Campbell Issues Statement. 1In recognizing the dissatisfaction over the campaign, Chairman Campbell this morning issued the following statement to divisional chairmen: “My attention has been called to] stalements appearing in the press and on a poster recently distribited, to the effect that Federal employes are being coerced to subscribe to the present request for voluntary contributions to relieve unemployment and dependency in the District of Columbia this Winter and during the calendar year 1932 “I wish to emphasize again the state- ments made by representatives of the general committee. appointed under authority. of the President, that this is an opportunity for voluntary contribu- tions, and that under no circumstances is there to be any form of coercion used to secure subscriptions. The | President, in his letter ‘creating the committee, stated that it was for the urpose of considering ‘recommenda- fons which have been made for co- operation among Government employes in’ wnemployment problems.” “Coercion and co-operation are ‘wholly antagonistic terms, and I feel sure you will understand that if an employe does not feel able to subscribe, or is unwilling to sul ibe, he is act- ing within' his rights. The appointment of 59 “key persons” who will undertake to collect three days” pay from every public school sy: tem employe marked the meeting late yesterday of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, | superintendent of schools and vice chairman of the Conmissioners’ Unem- ployment Fund Committee, and his | supervisory and administrative staffs. | Must Be Voluntary. In announcing the “key persons,” Dr. Ballou declared that “except in the case of the three first assistant superin- | tendents, each person designated as a | key person will be responsible for car- | T¥ing the plan into effect in his or her particular school, division or depart- ment, covering all officers, teachers, clerks and janitors under his or her supervision."” In computing the conlribuuom ex- ected_of Bnl]un s’ would be computed on the basis of 360 days per year. Dr. Ballou stressed the fact the dona- |tions ‘made by teachers and other school system workers are to be entirely voluntary, He said he knew there were many people in -the system who could not afford to give 1 cent and they were not under any circumstances to be | penalized to comply with the request for the three days’ pay. Their refusal to donate, he said, is & matter for their conscience to dictate. Group Is Named.

So what's the use?” Asserting that even before the death of Maj. Gen. W. C. Neville, former Marine Corps commandant, he knew that he would not be named to the post, although he was then the next highest ranking officer of the corps, Gen. Butler says he saw but two courses open to him. Begins Life Anew. One was to continue as commander | of the barracks at Quantico for an- other two years, then move to the Pacific Coast for four years, back to Quantico for another four years, and then a final four-year tour of duty on the West Coast. The other would be to retire, at the age of 50, and begin life anew in a new field. Gen. Butler points out that he was one of four men, two major generals and two brigadier generals, who were sed over or ignored” by the admin- tion in the naming of Gen. Neville's | | successor. “The unfairness of the action is in the fact that all of us were’slighted, and a man who stood fifth in line named | without any one in authority taking the time to study the military records of any of the candidates.” Says Records Ignored. ‘These records, he declares, had been prepared by proper officers at Marine Corps Headquarters, in a manner cus- tomarily followed when a high vacancy | occurs, and had been kept handy for | prompt submission to the Navy De- partment or the White House upon re- | Quest. The request never came, he| asserts, | Charging that the “clique of desk- | admirals,” who seem to hold sway in| the Nn\'y Depll‘tment in Washington | “demand an "Annapolis man as head | of the Marine “orps, Gen. Butler adds: “They desire to have the corps an insignificant part of the naval service, a unit under their collective thumb. It dismays and appalls them to learn of the heroic des of the Marines on foreign duty. They feel it detracts from the prestige of the Navy. These Washington-admirals do not want any | one in the office of major general com- | mandant, who will oppose their efforts to weaken the Marine Corps, to reduce \ its personnel, and m mke of it a small | detail of errand boys for gold-braided navy lines officers.

Admirals of the Navy have nothing to do with selection of the commandant of the Marine Corps, Navy officials said today when asked about the article by Gen. Butler. It is known high naval officials saw a copy of the article prior to publica- ‘| tion, and consequently it is unlikely to cause a flareback in the Navy Depart- ment. Commenting on the Butler assertion concerning his not being a Naval Academy graduate, officials at the de- partment pointed out that, of the 14 major general commandants, only the last 4—Maj. Gen. George Barnett, Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, Maj. Gen. Wen- | dell C. Neville and the incumbent, Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller—have been grad- uates of the Naval Academy. The official naval regulations gov- erning the publication of articles on professional subjects follows: “Officers and other persons in the naval service desiring to publish articles on professional, political or interna- tional subjects shall cause their signa- ture to appear together with a state- ment to the effect that thie opinions or assertions containéd therein are the private ones of the writer and are not to-be construed as official or reflecting tht views of the Navy Department or the naval service at large. “Immediately upon acceptance of such articles for publication, the writer will forward a complete copy thereof | to the Secretary of the Navy for the files of the Navy Department.” Officials said Gen. Butler had com- plied with this requirement. M’LEAN RESTRAINED IN DIVORCE ACTION | Chief Justice Wheat Grants In- junction Forbidding Suit in Foreign Countries. The temporary injunctfon restraining Edward B, McLean, publisher of the Washington Post, from instituting or prosécuting a suit for divorce during the next 40 days in Riga, Latvia, or any other foreign . jurisdiction, was granted today by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in District Supreme Court. The ipjunction was sought by Nelson T. Hartson of the firm of Hogan & Hartson, Tepresenting the publisher's wife, Mrs, Evalyn Waish McLean. Julius 1. Peyser, appearing for the publisher, questioned the authority of the court to grant the injunction, but was overruled by Chief Jusice Wheat. wiDow IS CLUBBED Found Naked and in Grave Condi- dition From Attack.

Flowers Shoots Self in Wash Room of Bal- timore Mortuary. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, November 25—Rela= | tives were on their way here today to claim the body of Herbert Baker Flow- ers, stieet railway executive, well known in both the North and Souin, who shot himself to death in the wash room of & mortuary here yesterday afternoon. A verdict of syicide was returned by the | coroner. He was 50 years old. His chosen work in the public utility field at one time placed him in charge of Baltimore's street railway system. Later he served in the same capacity in New Orleans, relinquishing ‘his post there to go to New, York for engineer- ing service. Friends and long-time acquaintances | here were at a loss to explain his suie eide. He called at the mortuary to dis- cuss plans for the burial of a friend's daughter. Suddenly he inquired the way to the wash room. A moment after the door was closed the report of a pistol was heard. Officers were called and the door opened. Mr. Flowers died on the way to the hospital in an ambulance. He was re n | turned to the mortuary to await the are - rival of a son and daughter. He was bern in Detroit and attended the University School there, later at- tending the Law and Engineering Schools of the University of Michigan. Leaving college, he became connected with the Detroit United Railways and remained with that organization until Le came to Baltimore in 1912. He stayed here until 1923, when he went to New Orleans. His wife, formerly Miss oodrich, died in 1929, is room was found in his’ clothing at the time of his death.
