Wiedeman, 38, Water De- partment employe”and a former naval chief petty officer, was buried this| morning at Arlington National Ceme- tery, while his widow, on the verge of | collapse, remained in District jail pend- ing grand jury action on charges that | she killed him, | Mrs. Wiedeman, 37, mother of three | children, was ordered held yesterday | afternoon by a coroner’s jury which heard testimony that she shot her hus- | band “on a dare” with a gun she! *didn't know was loaded.” Confession Alleged. The funeral service at the establish- ment of Frank Geier's Sons’ Co., 1113 Seventh street, was attended by the Wiedeman children, Ada, 15; Barbara, 10, and Joseph, 8. The two girls were at' the Wiedeman home, 334 Tenth street northeast, when their father was shot Monday night. Joseph was at the home of relatives. Wiedeman died early Tuesday at Casualty Hospital Testimony that Mrs. Wiedeman ad- mitted shooting her husband with an automatic pistol she thought was not loaded was introduced by Policewoman Caroline W. Alexander, who said the woman confessed to her after hours of grilling by homicide squad detectives. Detective Sergt. John W. Wise previ- ously had read to the jury a statement made by Mrs. Wiedeman denying any connection with the shooting. She stated to Wise, he said, that she was in another part of the house when | the shooting occurred and maintained | it was accidental. “Didn't Know It Was Loaded.” William Martin Long, 54, & black- smith, who had roomed at the Wiede- mans’ home for a year, and who was the only witness to the shooting, testi- fied Mrs. Wiedeman shot her husband after he had struck her several times and thrown her across a bed. He said Wiedeman tossed the gun at her after she had said, In a fit of anger: “If I had a gun I'd shoot you.” The policewoman said Mrs. Wiede- man told her the pistol, & .25-caliber Spanish automatic, had “laid around the house for years” and she “didn't know it was loaded.” The gun, it de- veloped, had been given Wiedeman when he was in the Navy by a Span- ish seaman whom he had befriended. CANADIAN COMMENDS ROOSEVELT’S POLICIES PBees Also “Definite Hope” Arising From Results of London Conference. | By the Assoclated Press. QUEBEC, June 8.—The world has emerged from economic tribulation to a period of definite hope arising from the aggressive policies of President Roosevelt in the United States and probable results of the approaching ‘World Economic_Conference, according to M. E. Nichols, president of the Cana- dian Press. Sky-high tariffs maintained by most countries are largely responsible for clogging commerce and it was to be expected “saner and more sensible ideas” would be one of the first re- sults of the London conference, Mr. Nichols asserted. Inauguration of news service to the mewspapers of the British West Indies ‘was unanimously approved by directors of the Canadian Press as they opened their two-day session yesterday prior to the annual general meeting of the organization tomorrow. QUITS FEDERATION Rudisil ' W. C. T. U. to Ask Beer Ban in “Dry Spots.” [Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, EDMONSTON, Md., June 8 —The Rudisii Woman’s Christian Temper- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY. JUNE 8, 1933 INDUSTRY LEADERS TOADVISE JOHNSON Teagle, Swope and Sloan Said to Have Accepted Places on Board. In order to be ready to function im- | mediately after passage of the industrial | recovery bill, Hugh 8. Johnson, Federal | industrial control administrator, was | reported tcday to have received accept- | ance by Walter C. Teagle of the Stand- | ard Oil Cv. of New Jersey, Alfred P.| Sloan of General Motors and Genrd} Swope of General Electric, to aid the | administration of the industrial control act. In administration circles, it was said the announcement of thelr selection as part of a five-man board, which wil represent industry in considering trade agreements under the legislation, awaits | only enactment of the bill by Congress. | Senate Debate Near Close. With debate on the measure now nearing a close in the Senate, political | circles expect it to become an act by the close of this week. Gen. Johnson | is expected to be named administrator | immediagply after President Rooseveit signs the measure. Donald Richberg, a co-drafter of the masure and counsel for the Association of Railway Labor Executives, and Leo Wolman, labor expert and professor at | Columbia University, are expected to be named by Johnson as the labor repre- sentatives on his board of advisors. Gen. Johnson was described as in- tending to set up a board of 10 men drawn equally from industry and labor. From the standpoint of the groups they represent, they will be charged with | aiding the andministrator in the “fair and impartial” handling of the legisla- | tion which he promised last week in addressing the National Association of Manufacturers, Serves As Co-Administrator. However, while Richberg will repre- | sent-labor, it was understood he will not | be & member of the advisory board, but | will serve as general counsel for the ad- ministration. ‘The legislation provides specifically that services may be accepted without compensation and creation of the ad- yisory board would follow along the lines of the “dollar a year” men whom President Wilson called to his side dur- ing the World War days and with whom Johnson was closely associated as a member of the War Industries Board. Johnson and the administration have opposed the attempts in some quarters to have administration placed in the hands of a board instead of one man. However, while they feel that central- ized responsibility and authority is es- sential, Johnson intends to get the wider viewpoint through the advisory rd. Under the plan now being considered, each agreement presented will come under the scrutinizing eye of members of the labor and industrial groups, with the idea that the contracts shall be fair to all parties, including the Govern- ment.

The following is the second of two articles in which two English authorities present their differing views on the mat- ter of rehabilitating silver. BY OSCAR LEIDING. LONDON (#).—Worrying over the of time” by one noted English eco- nomist. He is Prof. T. E. Gregory, professor of banking in the London School of Economics of the University of London and one of the most outspoken anti- silver thinkers here. He scouts the belief held by sponsors of the white metal that the World Economic Conference, which will open here June 12, “will do, or can do, any- thing” about the question. “There is no silver party here—just a few silver enthusiasts,” he said, “and I sericusly doubt whether there are 10 experts on the subject in the counu’{ “If anything is to be done about sil- ver, the first necessity is the establish- ment of a ratio between it and gold. THEN WHY IS IT MY DEALER DOESN'T CARRY Milky Way —Snicke Whipped Cream DOESN'T SHE WEAR YOU OUT THOUGH ? TAKE US TO THAT AMUSING NIGHT CLUB - PROBLEM DOUBTED silver problem is termed “ & pure waste s ~Honey Almond - —Toasted Almond — Three Musketeers — That is a matter upon which every effort heretofore has fallen down. Effect of High Ratio. “If you should choose 16 to 1 what | would be the effect? No one on earth | knows what effect a high ratio would have on silver and gold production. “If you should choose 15 to 1, the| result would be particularly bad for the countries you want to help. It would be devaluation on a large scale. “If it 1s a question of raising prices, there are better ways. You can de- valuate or you can inflate. “If it is & question of promoting the | use of silver, why don't the silver people promote its ‘use in other ways? “Why do they always turn to gov- | ernments? It seems to me they could | encourage & fre‘(n use of plateware, which certainly is beautiful, or even— | at that—to silver taps on bath room { fixtures.” Made Exhaustive Survey. Prof. Gregory, who was also professor of social economics in the University | of Manchesier in 1930-32, made an ex- | haustive analysis of the silver situa- | tion, its problems and possibilities, for | the 'Manchester Chamber of Comm:erce | last year. | The conclusions to which he feels the memorandum pointed are that the problem of the gold price of silver is | primarily a part of the more general problem of falling gold prices and lhnt" any attempt to raise the gold price of | silver independently of general price changes “must give rise to serious mis- givings when the consequences to China | are taken into account.” ‘The revival of bimetallic agitation, which he termed one of the most in- teresting consequences of the present depression, he believes to have a very grave disadvantage because, he says, it'is conducted in general terms. “The question of how bimetallism would work, whether well or badly,” he reported, “depends upon two essential points—the ratio betwen gold and sil- ver at which silver is to be readmitted to full coinage privileges and the ex- tent of the bimetallic area which it is hoped to achieve. Upon these points everything turns.” Accepts Onions for Fine. A Grants Pass, Oreg., judge agreed to accept 200 pounds of onions from V. C. Bishops in lieu of a $5 fine for a traffic violation.
