" A2 # WALKER REMOVAL PLEA CONSIDERED, Seabury Said to Be Ready to! Take Charges Before Gov. Roosevelt. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, May 30.—Newspapers| said today that Samuel Seabury, coun- sel for the Hofstadter Legislative Com- mittee, investigating New York City's government, is ready to draft removal charges against Mayor James J.! Walker. | Seabury will resume his investiga- tion of Walker. tomorrow, completing it Wednesday. Then, the papers said, | he will start preparing the charges| to lay before Gov. Franklin D. Roose- | wvelt. [ Investigators were trying to locate the mayor's brother, Dr. William H.| Walker, whom Seabury desires to ex-| amine in connection with his investi-| gation of the mayor. The mayor told | Seabury he had not seen his brother | for several months. The Herald-Tribune says Mayor Walker is co-operating with the in- vestigation in attempting to find his brother. The mayor, who spent yesterday resting at a Long Island beach club from two days’ examination last week, is said by the paper to have instructed a_secrefary to learn Dr. Walker's whereabouts from his relatives, so he might take the stand tomorrow. ‘Walker is represented as not knowing where his brother 1s nor able to explain ; why he cannot be located. He is said to believe there was no reason why Dr. Walker should not appear voluntarily and answer Seabury’s questions. . Seabury, who has sought the physi- cian since May 19, desires to examine him regarding payments for “medical services” he received from Willlam J. Scanlan, a salesman. These payments were listed by Seabury as precisely half the commissions Scanlan earned on his sales of equipment to the city. State Senator John J. Dunnigan, a Democrat, minority member of the com- mittee, issued a statement charging the Republican-controlled Legislature had been impeiled by ‘‘direct orders from ‘Washington” in ordering the investiga- tion.

The big plane | skimmed over the brush and wires, but | grazed a tree. Undaunted, the New York aviator kept on until an oil line broke over Vancouver Island and sprayed hot oil in his face and eyes, temporarily blinding him. On his way back he again narrowly escaped death as he dropped most of his load of gasoline and fought to gain altitude. “Blessing in Disguise.” “I had a pretty narrow escape,” he sald on his return. “I was flying at & low altitude. I just did manage to wipe the oil out of my eyes and off my gog- gles in time.” After an examination of his plane, he said the return had probably been a “blessing in disguise.” In grazing the tree a stabilizer wire was broken. The | tail of the plane shook badly, he ex-| glam(‘d, and it might have come off if e had continued his flight. | Browne took off yesterday at 5:20 a.m. (Pacific standard time), returning at 12:50 pm. ; Plans Refueling in Air. | In his last attempt to win the prize— | he must be in Tokio Tuesday to qual- | ify—possibly between 5 and 6 a.m. to- day Browne planned to get into the air | with a “reasonable load.” He placed this at about 500 gallons of gasoline, in contrast to the 884 he carried yesterday.

As this mighty cavalcade moved across the Potomac, those other shrines of the dead received their mead of tribute, and at Catholic University a huge outpouring at a pontifical military field mass heard a call to hearken to the ideals and aspirations of that Cit- izen of Mount Vernon, who builded the fabric on which the Nation stands. There, before an assemblage which included representatives of this and foreign governments, Dr. Peter Guilday bespoke exercise of those charac- teristics of Washington “to carry us safely through the turbulent waters of discontent and depression which Almighty God has permitted to sweep across the face of the Nation.” Archbishop Michael J.

Mayor Howard W Jack o nd. urged the abandonment of sectional selfish interests for the good of the United States as a whole. The uniformed groups in the assem- blage added color to the spectacle and there was enough wind to animate the flags of the 250 participating organ- izaticns. The Secretary’s words were carried over the open-3ir arena through a large amplifying system More Gratitude Urged. Secretary declared that The the | American pecple should show more than gratitude for the sacrifice of heroes on Memoria! day. “If we are to do our duty." tinued, “we must realize our responsi- bility to carry forward the day-to-day program of cur country.” The speaker asked his listencrs what sort of national ideals were held Washington and Lincoln. 5 “They, with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin,” he said, “thought of our Nation as one made up of self- governing units called States, all united in a Federal Government for the pur- poses of defense, justice and the carry- ing on of national functions.” Secretary Wilbur said that many forces of change had operated since the day of these patriots. “Just at present.” he said, “many of our local government and State gov- ernments have largely lost their dig- nity and sense of responsibility. Many of them, as well as many of our citi- zens, think of the National Government as a central grabbag from which they are trying to get everything from ferti- lizer loans to school subsidies. How Jong can this go on without peril to our institutions? Need Disinterested Service. “There never was a time when our Nation needed more of disinterested service by all of its citizens. The men whose memories we honor today suf- fered for all of the United States, not for some small selfish local or provin- cial interest. They thought and they fought in terms of the Nation. We need a rebirth of the spirit of our fore- fathers.” The speaker asserted that “it is just as important for us to think in terms of the Nation today as it was for the men who went out under those flags to think in terms of their country when they fought in battle. We cannot have a great Nation made up of local in- terests battling for the national booty,” he added. In concluding, Mr. Wilbur said “every city, county and State must fight for the preservation of law and order. Per- haps softer days have made us softer citizens. No doubt our pioneer fathers would tell us that we were spoiled and have lost our freedom to handle our- selves. We need to tighten our belts, forget our troubles and attend to the job of restoring public order and na- tional confidence.

The tomb of Woodrow Wilson, in Bethlehem Chaptel, was the scene of an observance by the Veterans of For- eign Wars, who placed a wreath. There were exercises at a number of cemeteries, at the Soldiers’ Home and St. Elizabeth's Hospital, while special tribute to those who have died at sea was pald in two ceremonies—one aboard the Coast Guard cutter Apache, from which flowers were cast by the auxili- arles of the Spanish War Veterans, and the other on the frigate Constitution, ggnducted by the Veterans of Foreign ars. 8,000 Quarts in “Catch.” ‘When a fishing net caught in an ob- stacle under the water off Nieuport, | Belgium, recently the fishermen angled for the obstacle and brought up many cans tied together and wrapped in & fishing net.

Reinforcements were welcomed into the ranks cf local Union veterans this morning. and the combined force was enabled to make a brave showing, nine men rolling down the Avenue in three limousines at the head of the Memo- rial day parade. But for a time there was consterna- tion at Ninth street znd Pennsylvania avenue, where the Civil War survivors were to be mustered in. Only two had reported. and already bands were striking up pre-emptory notes, and younger battalions were in full marching strength. Visitors Join Parade. Then a handful of visitors appeared.

At last I told myself if I don't see it now I'll never see younger.” | He chuckled as the Marine Band struck up a martial air and the column began to move. “This is a good way | to_see Washington,” he repeated. F. J. Young of Washington, who fought through the Civil War with the | 2d Tilinois Artillery, said the local vet- erans were glad, very glad, to have re- inforcements. Most of the five who turned out last yew# were missing and the ranks needed filling. Mr. Young added hopefully, as the column got under way, that what the Union veterans lacked in numbers they made up in rank. Is Major General Now. “Now take myself,” he said. “I was a private back in '61—very private. I'm a major general now, and I guess I'm outranked at that.” “Nine men,” exclaimed Maj. Gen. Young, including the three colored veterans with a sweep of his hand, “and I doubt if there’s anything less than a captain among us.” So the Union veterans joined the parade, nine men leaning on their canes while they nodded an acknowl- edgment of the waves of applause which followed their slow-rolling auto- mobiles up the Avenue.

Catholie America today gave Bi- centennial tribute to George Washington in its most sacred fashion—by the holy sacrifice of the mass. Sixty thousand persons blanketed the stadium at Catholic University and the surrounding hillsides, while Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Balti- more, celebrated a solemn pontifical high military fleld mass. Scores of notables, including officials high in the United States, State and international governments, headed the vast congregation. Dr. Peter Guilday, professor of church history at Catholic University, offered a plea for the Tecognition of the lesson of George ‘Washington's life as a means of combat- ing and solving the problems of the country today in a sermon, “George Washington: His Catholic Friends and Allfes.” Pope Sends Blessings. At the outset of the mass a message was received conveying the special blessings of Pope Pius. In his cable, which was sent by Cardinal Pacelli, the Pontiff expressed a desire to partici- pate “in some appropriate manner in the solemn religious commemoration | of the second centenary of the birth- | day of the first President of t nited States of America, the illustri- ous George Washington. which is to take place in the Catholic University, established in the Capital City of the country, which city bears his glorious name.” Cardinal Pacelli cabled that Pope Pius “willingly bestows a special apos- tolic blessing on the Archbishop of Baltimore, present at the observance, and all prelates, clergy and other per- sons attending these commemorative exercises The mass itself, the most brilliant scene ever witnessed at Catholic Uni- versity, was preceded by a colorful pro- cession of Catholic students from the denomination’s schools in this part of the country. Band music cadenced the { marching thousands as they proceeded to fill the s m to overflowing. The public itself occupied every remaining niche in the grass-covered natural bowl. Notable Guests Attend. Prominent among the notable guests at the celebration were Gov.
