BORAH CRITICIZES For BIRTHDAYS Remember these “Milestones™ in the most charming way. Suggestions by Still Stands Firm Against Republican Adoption of Resubmission Plank. Inc. 1407 H St. NW. Nat'l 4905 Nat'l 4813 BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Senator Borah still stands fim against the proposal to piace in the Republican national platform & so- called referendum plank on prohibition. The Idaho Senator did not appear to be impressed today by the action of the Missouri Republicans in State conven- tion declaring for a referendum plank, nor by the declaration of Secretary of Agriculture Hyde approving the action of the State convention “It does not seem possible to me that the Republican party would propose to the country a referendum of the pro- hibition question without offering any concrete substitute for national pro- hibition,” said Senator Borah May Help Draft Substitute. Senator Borah, it was said, may un- dertake to aid the Republicans in draft- ing a substitute proposal for the eight- eenth amendment. If so, the Idaho Senator so far has given no indication of this. His repeated insistence, how- ever, that if anything is to be done about the eighteenth amendment, & substitute must be offered, has led some of his friends to believe he may give that matter his attention. He has said in the past that if anything better than the eighteenth amendment can be devised, he would be willing to sup- port it ‘The Republicans, it has been general- ly conceded, are to rencminate Presi- dent Hoover in Chicago. Mr. Hoover's position, Senator Borah pointed out, has been consistently dry. In his opinion, if Mr. Hoover undertook to run as a dry on a platform which many of the drys would consider wet if it contained a ref- erendum plank, Mr. Hoover would be under attack from both sides and from the middle.

Every Other Large City in U. S. Has Eyes on Outcome of Inquiry. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 18 (NANA)— Dramatizing graft in a way he hopes will rouse the voters of New York City to active revolt against municipal cor- ruption, Chief Investigator Samuel Sea- bury continues to produce almost daily the current hit-show of Gotham, “Man- hattan Scandals.” Well on in its second vear, the so- called Hofstadter legislative investiga- tion has been working slowly, surely, through every department of the New York municipal government, moving gradually upward toward the man at the top of the pyramid — dapper “Jimmy” Walker himself. “The best dressed mayor,” whose conduct over the last decade has been subject to the closest scrutiny of expert investigators laboring behind the scenes, is scheduled to appear before the com- mittee next month. The investigation into charges of official graft and misconduct in New York is by no means a purely local af- fair. In a number of ways it affects all sections of the Nation. Other Cities Watch Outcome. ‘The breakdown of democratic govern- ment in municipalities 1s a major com- plaint agains that form of government. and the final outcome of the Seabury investigation will be watched closely by every other large city. b New York graft and racketeering. as Seabury pointed out in a speech, exacts its toll not only from New Yorkers, but from citizens in sections hundreds of miles from Manhattan Island. He named, as a specific instance, the live fish industry. Nevertheless, there is a growing belief that the Republican party is swinging more and more toward a referendum plank on prohibition in jts national plat- form. Secretary Hyde's statement 5 him with many other members of Presi- dent Hoover's cabinet on this question of a referendum, including Secretary of the Treasury Mills, Secretary of War Hurley and Postmaster General Brown. The fact that Secretary Hyde has been known as a dry in the past made his declaration regarding a referendum plank all the more significant, it was said. In some quarters, a fear was ex- pressed today that if the Republican natioral convention should accept a ref- erendum plank, the dyed-in-the-wool drys in the country might undertake to get Senator Borah to head a presi- dential ticket dedicated to the enforce- ment of national prohibition. Such a ticket might tear the Republican party wide open. Whether Senator Borah could be persuaded to accept nomina- tion on an independent national ticket was another question. It is very doubt- ful that he could be so persuaded. Hoover Silent on Matter. Should enough dry Republicans fol- low the lead of Secretary Hyde and as- sert they would not oppose a referen- dum plank for the national platform, the prospect of its adoption would be very good, it was admitted today by Republicans in high positions, who are at-the same time dry. President Hoover has been strongly urged by wet Republicans in his cab- inet and out to leave this matter of a referendum plank in the hands of the Must be fitted for the person's eomfort and suited to the indi- vidual's features . .. our many styles and expert optometrist assure you of both. €onsulta- tions and examinations do not obligate you at all, Registered Optometrist in Attendance A.Kahn Jne. 40 years at 35 F Street : PAINT FREE Special Bay State 4° Brush, bristles vulcanized in hard rubber, free with each pur- chase of two or more gallons of Bay State Paint Products in our store this week.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, finds it embarrassing to possess, on one hand, the Governor's executive power to remove officials discredited by evi- dence brought out in tne investigation. and, on the other hand. to have need of the Tammany-controiled block of 90 votes New York State will cast in Chicago. H?‘nuunlly hesitates before declar- ing open war on an organization so im- portant to his political future. Because publicity is an important feature of any investigation of this sort, considerable space m the hearing chamber is reserved for the press Three tables run along outside the rail of the bar inclosure, while inside. along the left wall of the chamber, reporters are allowed to sit in the 12 seats nor- mally reserved for the ury. In the center of the bar inclosure is a long table heaped high with material for the investigators. To the right, be- hind a rail, sit the witnesses, and close by, on the floor, is William J. Flynn, Bronx commissioner of public works, ‘who is to go on the stand for question- ing in a few minutes. As he whispers to his counsel, Flynn appears completely unworried over the Seabury revelation that the public works commissionér has banked $647,- 000-in 10. years on a salary of $12,000 a Republican National Convention. The | year. ‘There is a good deal of conversation in different parts of the room, a hungry buzz excitement. The principals have yet to appear. The members of the Legislative Committee file in. There is & burst of applause as Seabury mékes his appearance. Hofstadter Sits in Center. Seabury an his aides—six of them— step down off the platform and take their places at the long center table. The Legislative Committee is seated be- hind a railing on the raised platform. There is 2 murmur of comment as.it is | noticed that only eight of the nine members of the.Legislative Committee are in attendance. Senator Hofstadter, Republican, chair- man of the committee, sits in the cen- ter. To his right, because they repre- | sent the majority of the committee, sit A three fellow Republican members, B as fourth, Senator Leon Wheatley, been called up-State. On the left are the four minority Democrats, who throughout the investi- gation have taken upon themselves the role of auxiliary defense counsel for whatever Tammanyites are under fire. To the extreme left sits Senator John J. McNaboe, most loyal of Democrats, whose obstructionist tactics have stirred the Republican members into threats of ousting him rrom the com- mittee entirely. The hearing is opened with court ceremony. but its proceure is much more informal than that of a regular court. Any member of the committee can interrupt to interrogate a witness, can protest the legality or a question, can make a suggestion to Seabury. The whole aspect is informal and flexible. Time after time Seabury's investi- gators—he has 26 ot them, mostly skeptical young men—have unearthed records of financial transactions em- barrassingly complete to the public officials involved. More often than not he has lacked actual proof that any of the money involved has illegally ac- cumulated, but frequently, on the other hand, the officials have round a corre- sponding difficulty in producing a satis- factory explapation to snow that they had earned their fortunes by the sweat of their brows. Questioning Is Patient. It was the same story the other day. Patiently Seabury—and. not always so patiently. Chairman Hofstzdter—would bring back the wandering Flynn to the actual subject under discussion. It was not thrilling testimony to listen to. During nine-tenths of the proceedings, Seabury's questioning is patient and patently fair. Aithough he has been both a judge of long service in New York State and an unsuccessful candi- date for the governorship. it is the nates in the hearing. Near the clos= of a long session Sena- tor Hofstadter looks at his watch. It is 14:30. Rather than start on new busi- |mess. it is decided to adjourn to the following Wednesday Seabury straightens his shoulders and then relaxss. He is going to Long Is'and for two days’ rest from the labors | of exposing graft on a scale, which is to the Boss Tweed pickings of last cen- tury, as a modern ‘corporation is to the old general store.

Although they are of a defensive nature, they are capable also of assuming the offensive.” | Blamed for Train Wreck. | Reports from the Japanese consulate cated the wreck of a Japanese troop train there last week, causing the death of 14 men, was “the work of Russian Communists,” although positive proof was lacking. “Now that .he Russians have com- pleted their troop concentrations in Eastern Siberia, we must expect such provocative incidents,” the foreign office spokesman said in making public the Harbin consul’s report. He said Japan was taking a- much less alarming view of the situation, however, than the Soviet government | apparently did “We don't believe a clash is immi- nent,” he said, “and unless Soviet Russia -sends troops into Manchuria there i5 no reason to be alarmed. We certainly have no intention of attack- | ing Russia and we do not believe Russia_would be so rash as to chal-| lengz Japan “If provocative acts like the wreck last week were repeated, however, they undoubtedly would have serious conse- | quences. But we are confident that the Manchoukuo goverrment is taking steps effectively to prevent a repetition. | Russia Regarded as Foe. | “Nevertheless, it is idle to close our | eyes to the fact that Russia is dis- pleased with what has happened in North Manchuria, which is considered in the Russian sphere of influence. We can understand their disappointment at seeing their domination there fading permanently.” | The Japanese forces in North Man-| churia total less than two divisions and the entire strength in Manchuria | and Korea is less than five divisions, | “plus auxiliaries,” he said “We are scrupulously refraining from anything that would be calculated to| alarm the Russians further,” he said, “or to give them an excuse for action. In spite of the disturbances near the Siberian border, we are sending no troops there. Instead, we have asked | the Soviet authorities to permit Jap- anese subjects to take refuge in Soviet territory. ‘This permission has been granted. SOVIETS CHARGE ATTACK. MOSCOW, April 18 (#)—Russian newspapers published a telegram from Peiping, China, today saying 400 Rus- sian “White Guards” attacked the of- fices of M. Kuznetoff, manager of the Chinese Eastern Railway, at Harbin, Manchuria, recently, tearing down the doors and ransacking his papers They shouted threats against Soviet | members of the railway’s board, the telegram said. The local police and railways guards did nothing to prevent the raid, it added. The Tass News Agency was author- ized today to deny as absolutely false |a report circulated in Japanese news- papers regarding an interview to have been given by Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign commissar. at Geneva to the correspondent of the newspaper Tsitsl concerning events in the Far East. Litvinoff neither talked to nor gave any interview to any Japanese corre- spondents at Geneva or eny other place, the Tass Agency said | The “deliberately se character of | this report,” it said, “and its aims are sufficiently clear in the light of at- tempts by certain Japanese newspapers, | which recently started an anti-Soviet | campaign in connection with the pro- | vocative work of the “White Guards” in Manchuria, to use also this invented interview for their provocative, alarmist propaganda.” | By the Associated press PHILADELPHIA, April 18 —Authori- ties predicted the arrest today of & man and woman alleged to have kid- | naped 9-year-old Hilda Brodsky for | 850,000 ransom at Wilmington, Del. | Friday. They said they knew the kid- | napers; Hilda was dropped from an automo- bile at the parish home of Rev. Father Joseph Pugliese here yesterd:y and taken home hysterical, but unharmed. Father Pugliese and police declared no ransom was paid Police said_they made no pledge of immunity. The priest declared he was “bound not to reveal some details of the matter.” Advance Tip Revealed. Detective Capt. John Creedon said his agents had had “an advance tip."” This was reported to refer to a conver- sation about a kidnaping overheard by two detectives in a South Philadelphia restaurant Thursday night. The de- tectives could not hear all that was said, but took note of the man and woman who were talking. Hilda herself assisted police. She de- scribed two men who lured her into an automobile as she was going to school and two houses in Philadelphia where she was held An automobile believed used in the abduction was found abandoned In South Philadelphia last night The abandonment of the girl followed two contacts between the priest and the Father Pugliese said a man and a woman called on him early Sunde and asked him to act as intermediary in presenting a $50,000 ransom demand. Priest Notifies Police. Father Pugliese declined to act and notified police. Later the couple tele- phor-° him, threatening to kill the child unless their demands were met. What the priest told them then, and other circumstances up to the time the girl was abandoned, remained untold. The girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brodsky, maintained the silence that has ck.racterized them since their daughter first was missed. FOUR HURT IN CRASH Patrolmen John A.

By the Associated Press. CADIZ, Ohio, April 18.—Three men were shot as guns of Ohio National Guardsmen protected mines in the Eastern Ohio bituminous coal field to- day. The three men, said to be striking miners, were wounded after a crowd of 400 twice stormed a barricade erected in a road leading to the strike-ridden Somers mine of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. near Adena. The first time the crowd retreated after the guards- men fired into the ground, but the sec- ond assault was not stopped until three men fell, all shot in the legs. Convinced the guardsmen intended to halt their march, the assailants re- treated, and miners employed in the pit went to work as the soldiers stood on guard nearby. Other Shootings Occur. Two more guard strongholds were the scene of shootings today. One was the barricaded outposts on the George- town road and the other on Bucan- wood road, near Far Away. An at-| tempt to storm the second outposts was thwarted when the soldiers fired shots to scare the attackers. | Guard officers reported the soldiers did not fire directly into the miners.| They said the bullets were directed at| the ground, and the three men were hit by deflected bullets. | Two of those shot were Flmer Tri- onfi, 20, of Piney Fork, and Louis Por- ter of Bellaire. The third man is as/ yet unidentified. | The situation appeared so threaten- | ing that six additional truckloads of ' soldiers were dispatched from head- miners with deputy sheriffs and Na- tional Guard observers several days ago. While the funeral was held, Col. Marlin's ' troops were strengthening their defenses at the Somers mine, where Kimbell was slain, and at the Harmon Creek Mining Co. and the Tasa Mining Co. near He ale. Four companies of the 3d Battalion, from Akron, were stationed at the Somers mine, under command of Maj. Sam J. Cole of Akron. Company H of the 145th Infantry, under Capt. Joseph Parilla of Youngstown, was placed on duty at the Harmon Creek and «Tasa workings. The recent rioting in the Ohio coal flelds is an outgrowth of a strike of approximately 10,000 miners, begun several weeks ago. when numerous op- erators announced lower wage scales. Wages at the Somers mine were not reduced, but it was brought into the conflict by activities of the strikers from other districts.
