DERN 1S STUDYIN FURLOUGH PLANS No General Dismissals Are Likely to Occur in War Department. Definite assurance was given at the War Department today that instead of dismissals. the department is working out details of a general furlough plan to apply as an economy measure to civilian personnel Secretary Dern, it was said, is very much opposed to any general dismissal among the 48,500 civilians on the War Department rolls, believing that a mod- erately applied furlough plan would work out to the best interests of all. At the price of retaining the full offi- cer and enlisted strength of the Army and National Guard. it is necessary for the department to make drastic cur- tailments in other activities to effect the $50.000,000 saving which is the goal of the coming fiscal year. The civilian personnei, nearly 4,000 of whom are employed in Washington, will have to bear a considerable portion of the $50.000.000 cut in expenditures. The plan for a 10 per cent reduction | in civilian personnel. as was first con- templated, was abandoned and the department feels comparatively certain that it will be able to work out a fur- lough plan which would be spread out | over the year in a manner to exact the smallest possible sacrifice Approximately half of the 24,601 civilian employes outside of Washing- ton are engaged in engineer work on rivers and harbors development.

It is for you to decide whether the omission was an oversight, as the defendant s or whether it was done deliberately. “The J. P. Morgan Co.. which held the stock as collateral for Mr. Mitchell's loan.” the judge remarked, “was not rotified of the sale, although Harry W. Forbes, the attorney Mr. Mitchell co sulted. advised him on more than one occasion to do so0."” ‘The court cited the Government con- tention, that in March, 1932, Mitchell made a claim against the National City Co. for the difference between the price he pald for the 18300 shares of Na- tional City Bank stock he sold his wife and the current market price, then be- tween $40 and $50 a share. He had paid $367 for it. Advice of Counsel. Commenting on Mitchell's defense that he acted on advice of counsel, Judge Goddard said: “I wish to advise you that if a man gives all the facts to an attorney and follows that attorney's advice in good faith and honesty, he cannot be con- victed, even though the advice was wrong. On the other hand, if he set out wilfully and deliberately to disobey the law and did not ‘fully advise his counsel of all the circumstances, he cannot excuse himself by saying he act- | ed on advice of counsel.” | The judge charged the jury not to, draw any inferences, unfavorable to either the defense or the Governmnt by the fact that Mrs, Mitchell was not per- mitted to testify. saying 'he had exclud- ed her in accordance with a law that a defendant’s wife may not testify either for or against him in a criminal trial. ‘Taking up the $666,666.67 Mitchell recefved from the management fund, the court said: “If you find this money was a mere loan, which the defendent was obligated to pay. then you must find this defend- #nt innocent of the charge. If you find that he was obligated to pay it only out of future earnings of the fund, I cha you to find him guilty in con- nection with this item.” Judge Goddard said the treatment given other officers of the National City Co.. who participated in the manage- | ment fund had a bearing on the case only as it indicated Mitchell's intent. “Whether these other officers did or did not pay income tax has no bear- ing on this case,” he said. i ‘Takes Up Tax Return. ‘ Discussing the examination of Mit- chell's 1929 return by Ambrose W. Hus- | sey, internal revenue agent on whose report the bureau in Washington passed | favorably on the return, Judge God- dard said the only question to be con- sidered was whether Hussey had been given full information on the sale of | the 18,300 shares to Mrs. Mitchell. He reminded the jury that Prank W. Black. who rrepared Mitchell's return, testified he had shown Hussey copies of the letters regarding the sale ex- changed between Mitchell and his wife. He also pointed out that Hussey's re- port did not mention the fact that the sale was to Mitchell's wife. | Taking up the Thornton transaction, | Judge Goddard said: | “You have heard Mr. Thornton on the stand. No doubt you have formed your own opinions as to how much he | had to do with the transaction, “It is for you to determine whether ;hehflle to Thornton was made in good aith.” | As he concluded his charge, the judge warned the jury against being swayed | in its verdict “by any sympathy you | may feel for this defendant.” Tea for Dr. Meta Glass. A tea was to be held at 4:30 p.m. today by the Washington Chapter, American Association of University Women, for Dr. Meta Glass, new na-| tional president of the organization, recently arrived here.

Dunlap, jr., leading United States entrant in the British amateur golf championship, narrowly escaped elimination in the fourth round today as Alaric de Forest. of the Royal and Ancient Club of S8t. Andrews, carried him to the nineteenth hole before suc- cumbing. Hard pressed all the way, the former American college champion squared the match for the second time on the in- coming nine at the eighteenth hole, where his opponent was bunkered, and then wom the first extra hole. Keeping pace with the American, C Ross (Sandy) Somerville, Canadian holder of the United States title, con- tinued his brilliant play to defeat J. ‘Walker. 6 and 5. Roger Wethered, for- favorites, won a fourth-round match from Henry Howell, 3 and 2. Cyril Tolley Wins. Earlier in the day the long-driving | Cyril Tolley, holder of the champion- ship in 1920 and 1929 and an American resident for several years, won from | T. C. J. Manners, 2 and 1, with a rather erratic display. Two American residents of London, Robert Sweeny and Douglas Grant, ad- vanced to the fourth round, but Charles 8Sweeny, brother of Robert, was defeatad in a third-round encounter by H. N. M. Fogg. 4 and 3. The match between Dunlap and De Forest, older brother of the 1932 cham- pion, John De Forest, who was elim- | inated in the first round, was touch- and-go from the start, with first one and then the other leading. They turned the first nine with iden- tical medal scores of 39, but with De Forest leading, 1 up. The Englishman also took the tenth, but George squared the match on the thirteenth as he sank & putt for a birdie 3, and they ended the round all even. At the first extra hole, Dunlap got his par 4 as De Forest failed, and the match was his. The American had a medal score of 77, 5 over par. Scores Second Victory. ‘Tolley joined the favorites in the | fifth-round bracket by beating a fel- low Briton, Sam Robinson, 1 up. for his second victory of the day. Robin- son is the former Lancashire champion and an internationalist. Somerville was not as “hot” as he was | yesterday in the rain, but he was only one over par through the 13 holes needed for his match and ended the unequal contest with a birdie 2 on the | short thirteenth. The silent Canadian had a medal | score of 37 for the first nine holes and | a 3-up lead and then closed with a rush to take three of the last four on the in nine, Walker getting a half only on the tenth. Juan Ybarra, the only Spaniard ever to play in the tournament, was elimi- nated in the third round by R. W. Ripley, 1 up. Brig. Gen. A. C. Critchley, a native Canadian, recent winner of the French amateur title, advanced to the fourth round with a 3-and-2 victory over C. K. Cotton of Stoke Poges. Another British stalwart, Thomas A.

News of the dissolution of the Na- tional Front fighting units, of the sup- pression of the Bismarck Bund, an or- ganization for German Nationalist youths, d of a raid on Nationalist party headquarters, spread quickly through the capital. In all political quamers the question was: What will Hugenberg do? An inquiry by telephone at the party offices elicited this reply: “It is impossible to say anything. The police hold the building and police offi- cers are sitting my side as I am talning. Goodby.” Dr. Hugenberg himself was keeping incommunicado, but one of his closest advisers volunteered this statement: “Everything is confusion at the mo- ment and it is impossible to say wha the outcome will be. We must await the government’s detailed statement, after which everything depends on a talk between Dr. Hugenberg and Chan- | cellor Hitler.” A Nazi spokesman asserted that “we do not say that there is anytiing for Hugenberg to do except to resign from ll:;'clhinet or divorce himself from his party.” STEEL HELMETS DISSOLVED.
