" A plea to members of Congress to be more careful in issuing cards of admis- sion to the gallery of the House was ‘made today by Sergeant-at-Arms Ken- Deth Romney, as a result of the action of Marlin R. M..Kemmerer, 25-year-old department store clerk of Allentown, Pa., in terrorizing a crowded chamber late yesterday by dangerously brandish- ing a loaded gun. “I believe no one should enter the gallery without tickets,” Romney said, “and members should be most careful in issuing cards of admission in times like these.” a revolver, Kemmerer stood up in the gallery and dema the right to agclk, but 'was safely dis- armed through the efforts of Repre- sentatives Maas of Minnesota and Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts, and turned over to police. Held for Investigation. ‘Kemmerer spent the night at the sixth precinct police station, pending an investigation, but thus far no charge has been placed against h'm. Capt. Joseph E. Morgan of the precinct said the man would be given a preliminary hearing tomorrow morning in Police Court. It was about 4 p.m. when Kemmerer's presence in the gallery was first ob- served. He suddenly stood up, placed one leg over the railing and waved & revoiver. “I want the floor,” he shouted. A page boy cried: “Look out for the 3 There was a mad scramble for the cloak rooms. The chamber was in wild confusion. Members of the House for- got the vote they were engaged in and most of their dignity. Visitors in the gallery dashed for the doors. “I want the floor,” Kemmerer shouted again. Representative McMillian of South Carolina, who was in the chair, rapped vainly for order. In the midst of the confusion, Mr. Maas and Mrs. Rogers appeared at the spot under the gallery where Kem- merer stood. . “All right, son.,” Mr. Maas called to him. “But before you get the floor, just give me the gun” Kemmerer dropped the weapon into Maas’ hands. At that moment Representative La Guardia of New York, rushed into the gallery with Detective J. J. Antoine of the - sixth precinct, who arrested the Allentown clerk and took him to head- quarters for questioning. In his room in the 600 block of Massachusetts avenue, police found two sticks of dynamite, and in his pockets the opening paragraph of his intended speech. “Okay, America,” it began. “For the next 20 minutes you will listen to & speech which has the interest of the American people. The first man that tries to stop me will die. Is that un- derstood?” Planned to Blow Self Up. Kemmerer was admitted to the gal- lery with a card said to have been is- sued by a member of the Pennsylvania delegation in the House. He said he bought the gua and dynamite in Allen- town, and his original plan was to blow himself up if he failed in his attempt to make a speech in the gallery. This plan was changed. he declared, because some one elss might be injured., so he decided to hold the House at bay with & gun while he spoke. Kemmerer was regarded as an ex- marksman in Allentown, where he eft Wednesday night to spend his day off, Thursday, in Washington. His ab- sence was not noted until Friday, how- ever, when he failed to appear for work. ‘Then his employer, Lawrence Mussline, Teceived a letter in which he wrote: “Will be back as soon as I can attend to the business for the relief of the un- employed and the depression in general.” Kemmerer had been employed at the store for two years. His employer described him as ‘“courteous. level- {;ended and sensible—a nice young fel- w." Denies Radical Affiliation. Although Kemmerer said he voted for Norman Thomas in the November elec- tion, he denied any affiliation with Soctalist or radical groups. He said the 1dea to force the House to listen to his demand for unemployment relief was born of his own mind. At the sixth precinct, Lieut. J. W. Davis questioned Kemmerer for more than an hour. “What is your religion?” Lieut. Davis asked him. “Do_unto_others as you would have SPECIAL NOTICES.

Gun Was Loaded. “Did you really intend to shoot any | one who interfered with your speech?” “Well,” Kemmerer said, “the gun was loaded.” “Then why did you throw the gun away, down to the floor?” the lieuten- ant continued. Kemmerer explained the chairman had rapped for order, and several Rep- resentatives had stood up in their seats and told him he would be allowed to speak if. he would throw away the gun. He said he had been in the city since Thursday, and had spent most of the time since in writing the speech he planned to deliver before the House. I. C. C.

From his own viewpoint, the Secre- tary added. he would be loath to halt the work of the commission to partici- pate in exercises, inasmuch as it is operating with a sharply curtailed staff. and is confronted with a volume of work that requires night hours. Discussed With McGinty. N. A. Melick, construction engineer for the Treasury Department, who is in charge of construction at both Labor and I C. C. said that he first took up the question of stone-laying exercises with Mr. McGinty some time ago, when Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Heath, directing the building program, had decided both stones should be laid at the same time. He was advised then that the commission would not be in- terested, he said. Secretary of Labor Doak desired a ceremony for the Labor Department Building, however, and, it was explained, arranged a program in which the stone would be piaced under auspices of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the District, with Grand Master Reuben A. Bogley and his officers presiding. Mr. Melick then conceived the idea of having a similar ceremony, simui- taneously, at the I. C.

G.|Tamp: Buckland, president of the Railroad Credit Corporation, announced yester- day that a bill designed to “liberalize” the lending powers of the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation on railroad loans will be submitted to Congress be- fore Christmas. ‘The new measure, which has the sup- port of the railroad industry, would | Giaran rovide that the Fipance Corporation loan money to the roads on their ability to pay, rather than on loan collateral which is demanded under the present regulations. The railroads base their arguments in support of the new bill on the success of the Government in its 1920 loans. More than $1,000,000,000 was advanced at that time, based on the railroad’s ability to pay. The Government col- lected more than $200,000,000 in inter- est, which more than offset the total of loans, still uncollected. / The railroads state their collateral has now reached the near-vanishing point; hence, they will be unable in many cases to provide such security for future loans.

By the Associated Press. HENDERSON, Ky. December 14. George White, who is just that age at which you delight in swinging & toy pistol and playing policeman, is & hero among Henderson lads, because he actu- ally did rout a real bandit. He was sent to the grocery store Monday and went along the street, his little pistol swinging at his belt and his mind busy on a book he had been read- ing telling how to ap-pre-hend crim-in- als. Opening the grocery store, the 8-year- old boy found himself right in the midst of a real hold-up. The manager and three customers stood, hands up, and an_honest-to-goodness bandit with | a real .38 was scooping money from the cash register. George broke it up. He didn't use his pistol. He just ducked out the door and yelled and yelled. Neighbors came run- ning. The bandit dropped everything | and started down the street and lhei store manager, Willlam Evans, taking courage from George, went in hot pur- suit. The bandid got away, but the robbery had been frustrated, and that's | why George is a hero. He is the son of Dr. G. W.
