By the Associated Press. A charge that Federal judges use Government expense accounts to “joy ride” across the country and take vaca- tions in New York, was spread today upon the sober pages of the Congres- sional Record. Representative La Guardia, Republi- can, of New York, put the accusation there in presenting to the House yes- terday a report from the controller gen- |eral gi from all over the country, turned in expense accounts for trips to sit on the Southern New York district bench. Some served but one day at a time, others up to 30. Two came all the way from California, others from as far as ‘Wyoming, Colorade, Texas, Florida, Ala- bama, Tennessee, Kansas and Illinois. A few of the accounts ran up into the thousands, bringing the total charge for $10 a day subsistence and transpor- tation to $27,025. Claims Waiting List. Some of the judges, said La Guardia, “come to New York, travel, sit a few days, go home, charge up their travel- ing expenses, come back and sit a few days more.” Then Representative O'Connor, Dem- ocrat, New York, chimed in “There is a waiting list for a chance to come to New York for a vacation, to 20 to the theater, and to go to the night clubs. That is well known.” Examplcs Cited. Among Lhe_rgaruculnr examples cited were Judge omas W. Swan of New Haven, Conn, who received $5800 for several visits, and Judge Harrie B. Chase of Battleboro, Vt., who collected $4,233. From no further away than Brooklyn, Judge Clarence C. Galston charged $50 for subsistence allowances. La Guardia urged that when extra judges are needed they be brought to New York and kept there until the work is done. The visitors are brought in to clear up congestion on the big New York docket. CALLS CHARGE FALSE. Wyoming Jurist Says Other Jobs Must Be “Perpetual Holiday.” DENVER, May 17 (#)—Two of the Federal judges named by Representa- tive La Guardia as having taken *ic rides” at Government expense, deny the charges. J. Foster Symes of Denver branded the allegations of the New York Re- publican as “unqualifiedly false”; T. Blake Kennedy of Cheyenne, Wyo., ex- plained why trips were made. “I know nothing of other cases” Judge Symes said, “but when I was called to New York last Summer, I stayed for three weeks and worked all the time I was there.” Says He Worked. Said Judge Kennedy: “It is quite nat- ural for judges in the more sparsely settled districts to be appointed as as- sistants in the more densely populated districts. “So far as ‘joyriding’ is concerned, I must confess 1 know nothing about it Last September upon being assigned to hold court in New York for approxi- mately four weeks I was assigned to| the trial of an important mail fraud | case which consumed seven weeks of continual trial work. “It has been my idea that Federal judges should endeavor to be useful and to devote their time to public serv- ice when it may not all be required in their own distrct. “If service like this can be termed “Joyriding’ some other official positions which I have in mind must be a per- petual holiday.” —_— LABOR CHIEFS SPLIT ON WAR DEBTS PLAN Six More Leaders Visit President to Oppose Moratorium Proposal of Rail Brotherhoods. By the Assoclated Press Though in agreement that construc- tive rellef of some sort from the Fed- | eral Government is needed, railway labor leaders are widely split on the proposal for a 25-year moratorium on| war debts This plan, as & means of bolstering foreign trade, railway business and American productions, was taken to the White House last Friday by the presi- dents of seven raflway brotherhoods Yesterday the heads of 6 more of the | 21 brotherhoods told President Hoover they were flatly opposed to the idea as “hastily concelved and unsound in principle.” ‘They said all but the original seven felt that way and regarded the plan “to have been first offered primarily as | part of a factional dispute in one of the major political parties.” Alfred E. Smith some time ago advo- cated such a policy, involving cancel- lation of war debts in proportion to increased purchases of American prod- |ucts by “debtor nations.

By the end of the second act the heroine is getting out the old family blunderbuss; the hero has just crept out of hiding, and the lights are beginning to go on and off in earnest. Later in the third act, the shooting has taken a turn for the worse, and the valiant “Tiger Rose” after a battle royal, has hustled off her boy friend, who is wanted for murder, into the woods, while she keeps her enemies prop- erly quiet at the end of a smoking pistol. Love and sunshine emerge victo- rious, of course, at the end—so there is nothing much to worry about.
