Dr. James Francis Coupal, former Army medical officer and White ! House paysiclan during the Coolidge | administration, died in Walter Reed Hospital here today after a brief !illness. He was found unconscious :‘tn his apartment Saturday. | Dr. Coupal, who was 50 years old and a native of Quinly, Mass, had been a practicing physician in Wash- ington since shortly after the expira- tion of President Coolidge’s adminis- tration. He was recognized as a spe- cialist in the treatment of cancer and had written numerous articles for medical journals regarding this disease and spent many years in its treatment. Graduated at Tufts. After recelving a B. S. degree at Tufts College in 1906 he graduated | in medicine and began practice ln‘ Boston in 1910. He became identified | at that time with the Massachusetts National Guard and in 1915 was com- missioned a leutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps and saw service on the Mexican border. He was commissioned a captain in the Medical Corps of the Army in 1916 and after having dis- tinguished service in France he was commissioned & major in the Regular Army in 1919. At the time he was appointed White House physician by President Coolidge he was assistant curator at the Army | Medical Museum here. He was one | of the attending physicians during the fatal illness of Calvin Coolidge, jr., and later was physician to Col. John | Coolidge, father of the President, when he died in Massachusetts in 1926. Promoted in 1924. In 1924, Dr. Coupal was promoted to the rank of colonel by an act of Congress. He resigned his commis- sion in the Army in July, 1929, to open private practice here. He made his residence at the Chastleton Hotel and had his office at 1424 K street. Surviving are his widow, the for- mer Martha L. Wilfert of Boston, | when he married in 1916; his mother, Mrs. Mary Coupal, and three sisters and two brothers, all of Massachu- setts. | Funeral services tentatively have | been set for Saturday at 9:30 am. at | Walter Reed Hospital, to be followed by military services and burial at | Arlington Cemetery. 'AUTD SAFETY LAW TO COME UP EARLY | Responsibility Measure to Be One of First Introduced in New Congress The safety responsibility law, de- i signed to control reckless and irre- | sponsible drivers, will be one of the | first District measures to be intro- duced in the new Congress, according 'to the American Automobile Associa- tion. Chairman King of the Senate Dis- trict Committee will sponsor a bill proposing the law, the A. A. A. said, and will introduce it at the first op- portunity after Congress convenes, Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan- | sas, who has sponsored the measure in | previous years, has announced he will | continue to support the bill in every way possible, the motor group said. In the House the fight for the safe- ty law will be led by Representative | McLeod, Republican, of Michigan. “All indications point to early en- jactment of the safety responsibility law and strict application of its pro- | visions to reckless and irresponsible drivers,” Ernest N. Smith, executive vice president of the A. A. A, said today. “It is to be earnestly hoped that this bill, which has as its pur- pose the removal from the highways of the proved reckless, without inter- fering with the great body of careful operators, will secure early and favor- able consideration.” ROACH CACK‘SHO DEATH Night Coughs Relieved You can have rest tonight.

His condition was described today as| “very satisfactory,” but it was not revealed how soon he would be able to take his Congress post. Mrs. Bankhead said she thought his indisposition was not serious. Of all the congratulatory messages that came to the veteran legislator, one that pleased him most was from his favorite aciress—Tallulah Bank- head, his daughter.

She, in turn, is just as proud of her father’s political achievements. Member of an Alabama family that has been represented in Congress for half a century, Bankhead began his public life as & struggling young lawyer in New York in 1895. He had just graduated from the University of Alabama, where he played fullback on that school's first foot ball team. o When he went to New York to hang out his shingle he became a member of the Democratic political organiza- tion of the metropolis, Tammany Hall. During his membership there he cam- paigned in New York State for Wil- | iam Jennings Bryan for President. After being in New York five years, however, he returned to Alabama and a few years later was elected to Con- gress, where he has served continu- ously since the Sixty-fifth Assembly. During his first term. Bankhead served simultaneously with his father, the late Senator John H. Bankhead. Now his brother, John H. Bankhead, i, is in the Senate. Known as one of the best tacticians in the House, Representative Bank- head had a large number of personal fricnds among the membership. FEDERAL WORKERS PRESS LEGISLATION N.F. F. E and F. G. E. to Ask Restoration, 30-Day Leave, Stronger Merit System. The legislative program of Govern- ment workers, including pay restora- | tion, today was urged on Congress by the National Federation of Federal Employes and the Ameyican Federa- | tion of Government Employes. In an article appearing the cur- rent issue of the Federal Employe, the official organ of the Federation of Federal Employes, it is declared | that its membership present “a united front to Congress and a constructive program, which is deserving of im- mediate enactment.” ’ A stal nt from E. Claude Bab- cock, pre nt of the Federation of Government Employes, says “the jus- tice of our cause, I am sure, will be recognized by the new Congress.” Return of the 30-day leave, exten- sion of classification, liberalized re- tirement, strengthening of the merit system, “court of appeals” for handling | employe grievances and elimination of restrictions imposed by successive | | economy acts, including the barrier against promotions, are other aims of the worke RDERS WELCOME &% For Nearest Store Call |LIncoln5595 January 3rd Week End Specials OUR X SUPER SPECIALS X X X All Gold Asparagus Tips.

FINCASTLE, Va., January 3.—Dis- covery of two blood-stained bodies, heads battered and clothes disheveled {and torn, was described today in the | trial of Philip Jones, colored, for the murder of Alice and Ellen Hill, Clifton Forge children. For the time, at least, the State ignored the defense contention that it was not Jones but a Clifton Forge white man who had committed the crimes, Two searchers, Ira Damewood, and | a Clifton Forge officer, H. B. Buchanan, described the finding of the bodles. Damewood said the body of Alice, the older child, was found face-up, her clothes “torn, and the little girl, Ellen, face down.” Both Heads Battered. Both witnesses said the heads of the two children were battered. T. Warren Messick, court-appointed defense attorney, succeeded in draw- ing from Buchanan, on cross-exam- ination. the statement that apparently a scuffie had taken place. Appar- ently he was trying to build up his opening statement that Jones was i shot in the leg in a scuffie with a | white man while attempting to defend the children. Stock of Gun Broken. During Buchanan's testimony the prosecution introduced in evidence a gun which the officer said he found with the stock broken off under the front porch of the colored man's home He said when he found it it was found on it particles of flesh that i\m‘ked like brains, and long dark hair." Both witnesses testified that when they went in the Jones house they found blood on the floor and on the bed. A taxicab driver, H. W. Withrow, testified he took Jones to a doctor instead of following the latter’s in- structions to “take me to my home in Buckingham County.” Withrow said when he left with Jm’}vs the colored man told his wife | to “get my clothes I ain't never com- | ing back on this hill.” SABATH STILL DEAN Representative Adolph J. Sabath of Illinois was not Democratic floor leader today as he had hoped to be, but he had one consolation. He was still the dean of the House. Sabath began serving in Congress March 4, 1907, and he has been there 14 consecutive terms. Close behind him are Speaker Byrns and Repre- sentative Taylor, Democrat of Colo- redo. Both entered the House March 4, 1909, —_— Spalding Council to Meet. The Spalding Council, Knights of Columbus, will meet at 8:15 o'clock tonight in the Knights of Columbus club house.

Sory used to go “washin’ " together in Red River. That was when they were kids down in Clarksville, Tenn. Today Sory—a ness man—was in Washington for the first time to see Byrns sworn in as Speaker. “I told them just save me a seat on the steps,” Sory explained between handshakes as he was proud.y intro- duced to all the many visitors to Byrns’ office. “Just so I'm in the gallery somewhere and can see.

The Democratic side of the Senate | chamber bulged with Senators, 69 in all. There was plenty of breathing space on the Republican side of | the center aisle, and plenty of space there to take care of the two Sen- ators who do not claim allegiance with either of the old political parties, Shipstead of Minnesota, Farmer- Labor, and La Follette of Wisconsin, Progressive. Today was the first | appearance of Senator La Follette in | the Senate as a representative of the new third party in Wisconsin. Twice before he was elected to the Senate as a Republican. Progressives in the Senate did a bit of rejoicing. Senator Cutting of New Mexico, whose political scalp had been sought vigorously by the Demo- cratic high command, despite the fact he was one of the Republicans who campaigned for Roosevelt in 1932, was permitted to take the oath of | office. Threats of an attempt to pre- | vent his seating had been in the air. | Much speculation continued today at the Capitol, as the members of | Congress gathered, about the pro- | Representative Bankhead House floor leader. After getting 140 of the 308 votes on the first ballot, he went over the top on the second with 156. Rep- resentative O'Connor of New York was runner-up on both counts with 54 and 66. On the first ballot the candidates and votes were: Bankhead, 140:° O'Connor, B4; Rankin, Mississippi, 33; Sabath, Ilii- nois, 33; McCormack, Massachusetts, 21; Mead, New York, 21; Arnold, Dli- nols, 5, and Lea, California, 1, for & total of 308. On the second ballot Bankhead re- ceived 156; O'Connor, 66; Sabath, 20; Rankin, 19; McCormack, 17, Mea 11; Arnold, 8, and Lea, 4, for a to- tal of 301. Earlier the House Repuhlicans had voted 85 to 1 to nominate Representa- tive Snall for Speaker. The single op posing vote was cast by Representae | tive Lambertson for Mapes of Michie gan. Schneider Nominated. ‘The group of seven Wisconsin Pro- | gressives nominated Schneider for | Speaker and Bolleau of Wisconsin as | leader. The three Minnesota Farmer- | Laborites support this ticket. In elevating Byrns to the speaker- ship, the Democratic mmajority also indorsed two of his pet ideas. One was to give the Democrats un= questioned control over committees by letting Republicans have only one- fourth of the members on each com= mittee, where formerly the ratio in some instances was three to two. The Democrats also bound them- selves to support a change in House rules designed to prevent passage of bills opposed by the administration. Under the old rules, 145 members | could sign a petition and force a vote on any bill. Under the contemplated change, a majority of the House mem= bers—now 218, with one seat vacant— must sign such a petition to get re- sults. Vote Is 225-60. Should the huge Democrati¢c majori- ties prove unwieldy, Byrns and Bank- head can rely on this rule to curb blocs pushing legislation unwanted by the high command. The vote on the so-called “gag rule” was 225 to 60. Before the vote, bonus supporters had feceived assurances the Trule would not be used against the drive for immediate cash payment of $2.« 100,000,000 in adjusted service certifi- cates. Byrns asserted a vote on this issue would be taken “as expeditiously as possible” because, he said, he real- ized a majority wanted to get the mate ter settled.
