THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, WAR PROFIT IDEAS NEAR SHOWDOWN Rival Plans to Curb Gains Before Congress, Linking Flynn and Baruch. By the Associated Press. Rival plans for taking the profits out of war are heading towa.d & show- down in Congress. With them are associated two well known names: Bernard M. Baruch, who marshalled industry for war un- der President Wilson, and John T. Flynn, economist and author, who has penned many an attack on men and measures in the financial world. Flynn's plan came to legislative con- sideration before the Senate Munitions Committee, and Baruch’s via the House Military Affairs Committee. Salaries Would Be Limited. Where Baruch's plan proposed to leave industry virtually “on its own,” but with prices checked by law from sky-rocketing, Flynn proposed a dras- tic conscription of industry and indus- trial managers. He would levy such taxes that the income of any individ- ual would be limited virtually to $10,- 000 a year. Baruch's plan was incorporated in the McSwain bill, which, besides giv- ing the President broad powers of putting a “ceiling” over prices in war. contemplated adopting many of the devices which Baruch put into effect during the World War to send needed supplies first to the military forces bY | a system of priorities. While the McSwain bill ca provision for taxing war be designed to accompany the meas: ure with a view to seizing virtually | all profits attributable to war in- dustry. Baruch Bid by Committee.

The Commissioners are withholding action on the Ellenbogen unemploy- ment insurance bill for the District until Congress has adopted a national | policy on the matter, members of the House District Committee were in- formed today. In letters to Chairman Norton and | the Com- fie Representative Ellenbogen, missioners said: “The policies of the government of the District on matters of this sort are so intertwined with corresponding policies of the Federal Government that the Commissioners do not be- lieve it is advisable to commit them- selves to any definite attitude toward this bill until the national policy on the subject has been determined by the Congress.” Officials have said some extra tax revenues would be necessary to finance the cost of the insurance.

The body of young Pierce, who was stabbed fatally jight club early yesterday after an evening of dining. dancing and drink- ing, was taken to Jackson, Miss, for burial today. Pierce, living handsomely on an in- heritance, was a member of a promi=- nent Mississippi family. who is dead, had lumber interests and was'a widely known surveyor and engineer. The girl said they guarreled at the night club when Pierce urged her to reveal her identity Police, however, said they were in- vestigating a “jealousy motive,” based on two letters found in the apartment. she Says Pierce Beat Her. She said she met Pierce about five months ago and that he took her into his apartment and nursed her ‘like a baby for five weeks and helped me fight free of addiction to nar- cotics.” Police quoted her as saying Pierce | beat her on several but she “didn’t mind it.” She had not intended to stab Pierce with the knife he handed her, she ' said, seeking only to frighten him. Marian said her father, a news- 3 paper man, and her mother were dead, 1 but that she had a brother and sister “who'd make any girl go out of bounds."” “My brother'’s a Baptist minister,” she said. JURY’S LEGALITY ' HIT BY OLDBERG Former P. W. A. Official Files Plea Against Conspiracy Indictment. occasions, The legality of the special grand | jury which indicted him and six others vror an alleged conspiracy to defraud the Government in connection with a P. W. A. project was attacked in a plea of abatement filed in wvistrict Supreme Court yesterday by Charles R. Oldberg. In his plea, filed through Attorneys Milton King and Bernard Nordlinger, Oldberg claims two of the three jury commissioners who picked the special jury acted after their terms had ex- pired. The two commissioners are Horace G. Smith and Edwin C. Graham. Oldberg’s plea also charges the jurors were drawn under an order issued by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat, al- though the law requires such an order to be issued by the court sitting in general term. Other alleged illegal moves cited in Oldberg’s plea are that the Dis- trict attorney failed to file a sufficient certificate of public necessity in call- ing the grand jury, that the jurors should have been drawn under a Fed- eral statute rather than a local stat- ute and that only two of the three jury commissioners participated in drawing the names. Oldberg, at liberty under $1,000 bond, said through his attorneys that he is anxious to stand trial whenever it is established that a legal indict- ment has been returned against him.

(Continued From First Page.) of the selfish interest of any group. That organization will be the stronger if, like your own sessions, it springs from the people who belleve in these principles. 3. It is well that the young men and women of the Republican party should meet and give attention to this drift from national moorings. Some of the concrete results of these policies are already apparent. The most solemn Government obligations have been repudiated. The Nation is faced with the greatest debt ever known to our country. The currency has been ren- dered uncertain. The Government has been centralized under an enor- mous bureaucracy in Washington which has dictated and limited the production of our industries, increas- ing the costs and prices of their products with inevitable decreased consumption. Monopolistic practices have been organized on a gigantic soale. Small business men have been disabled and crushed. Class conflicts have been created and embittered. The Government has gone into busi- ness in competition with its citizens. Citizens have been coerced, threatened and penalized for offenses unknown to all our concepts of liberty. The courts are proclaiming repeated vio- lations of the Constitution. Food Being Imported. Because of food destruction and restraint on farm production, foreign food is pouring into our ports, pur- chase of which should have been made from our farmers. The cost of living is stezdily advancing. More people are depending upon the Gov- ernment for relief than ever before. Recovery Is still delayed. The pro- ductive geaius of our people, which is the sole road to recovery and to increased standards of living, is be- ing stifled, the Nation impoverished instead of enriched. The theories of this admini-tration do not work. They are no longer a propagandized mil- lenium; ih~y are self-exposed. 4. The people have a right to an opportunity to change these policies. It is the duty of the Republican party to offer that opportunity. And be- yond insistence upon American foun- dations of government, it is the duty of the party to insist upon realistic methods of recove: real jobs for labor and real markets for the farmer. Those methods lie in removing the shackles and uncertainties from enter- prise. After nearly six years of de- pression, liquidation, restriction of il manner of purchases and improve- | ments, we stand on the threshold of a great forward, economic movement, if only the paralyzing effects of mis- taken governmental policies and ac- tivities may be removed. Production Theory Upheld. The present conception of a na- tional economy based upon scarcity must in all common sense be reversed to an economy based upon production, or workman, farmer and business man alike are defeated. Surely economic life advances only through increas- ing production by use of every instru- ment science gave to us, through low- ering of costs and prices with conse- quent increase in consumption, and through higher real wages to the worker and real return to the farmer. Effective reform of abuses in business and finance must be undertaken | through regulation and not through bureaucratic dictation or Government operation. Protection to individual enterprise from monopolies must be re-established whereby the smaller businesses may live, tainties of currency must be removed. penditures which, if continued on the present scale, can create only bankruptcy or calamitous inflation, must be curtailed. The effective par- ticipation of the States and local governments in relief under non-par- tisan administrators must be re-estab- lished so that waste, extravagance and politics may be elimnated and the people Letter served. Great so- cial problems of better safeguards to the individual against the dislo- cations of advancing industry, na- manipulation tional calamtiy and old age must be | discovered. But these problems of business, agriculture and labor be- come much easier with a restoration of economic common sense. Indeed, a score of economic and social ques- tions must be solved, and in their answers are locked the real advance- ment of life and the attainment of security and contentment in the American home—for that is the ulti- mate expression of American life. But their solution will not be found in violatioa of the foundations of human liberty Family Is Foundation. 5. It is well that we pause & mo- ment to examine what objectives we wish to secure from the vast com- plex of invisible governmental, eco- nomic and social forces which domi- nate our civilization. The objective of American life must be to upbuild and protect the family and the home, whether farmer, worker, or business man. That is the unit of American life. It is the moral and spiritual as well as the economic unit. With its independence and security come the spiritual blessings of the Nation. The fundamental protection of these homes is the spirit as well as the letter of the bill of rights, with the supports from the framework of the Constitution. They must be given peace with the world. There must be confidence in the security of the job, of the business, of the savings which sustain these homes. Increased stand- ards of living, leisure and security can come to that home through unshack- ling the productive genius of our people. The advancement of knowledge must be translated into increasing health and education for the children. There must be constantly improved safe- guards to the family from the dis- locations of economic life and of old age. With the growth of great in- dustrial forces we must continue to add unceasing protections from abuse and exploitation. We must be liberal in reward to those who add service, material or spiritual wealth to these homes. Those deserve no reward who do not contribute or who gain from exploitation of them. The windows of these homes must be bright with hope. Their doors must be open out- ward to initiative, enterprise, oppor- WHERE TO DINE.

Counsel for both announced an ap- peal as the case ended after being on hearing two days before Judge John P. McMahon. The men, employes of Peter M. Dorsch, uncle of John L. Dorsch, were accused of putting the acid on bread left at 1309 B street northeast, and an pie delivered to an apartment house at 501 Twelfth street northeast, by | the Dutch Baker Boy, Inc. Unknown to Employer. It was brought out in the case that their employer had no knowledge of | these reputed activities. While the testimony was to the effect that Dorsch was seen entering the first address and Merchant en- tering the second address, after the delivery of the ‘Dutch Baker Boy products there, Judge McMahon charged the jury that if it believed | Merchant to have been aware of Dorsch’s intention in the first in- stance and Dorsch aware of Mer- | chant’s intention in the second in- stance, it should find both guilty of both charges. Claims of Defense. The defense attempted to show that the acid had been placed on the products by the driver for the Dutch | Baker Boy in an effort to put a stop to union activities. Union officials were present in court during the en- tire trial. MAN BEATEN, ROBBED H. T. Hall Loses $125 to Pair in| Hold-up in Front of Hotel. Harry T.

Today there must be restoration of faith, the removal of fear and uncertainty that these ideals and these hopes will not be open to those who strive. Opportunity Must Survive. To the voung men and women it is vital that their opportunity in life shall be preserved: that the frontiers of imitiative and enterprise shall not be closed; that their future shall not { be burdened by unbearable debt for our follies: that their lives and op- portunities shall not be circumscribed and limited: that they shall have the right to make their homes and careers and achieve their own position in the world.
