- UBERTY EACLE SLORD BY €S Secretary Charges “Imper- | tinence” in Holding Labor Act Unconstitutional. By the Associated Press. Lawyers of the American Liberty League today were confronted with Secretary Ickes' accusation that they were guilty of “gross impertinence” and “high-powered propaganda” in asserting that the national labor re- Jations act is unconstitutional, before it has been adjudicated by the Su- preme Court. A Department of Jus- tice spokesman pithily observed: “We're not on their mailing list,” when asked about the unofficial opinion of the league's attorneys. Commenting on the decision at his press conference yesterday, Mr. Ickes asserted: “I realize I'm running the risk of being summoned by Chief Justice Jouett Shouse for contempt of court, but I'll run that risk.” Shouse heads the league. Disrespect for Court Charge. The cabinet officer contended that the league's lawyers have shown evi- dence of disrespect for the Supreme Court. Mr. Ickes expleaired that in furtherance of the New Deal program —to which the American Liberty League strenuously objects—he will have ready for President Roosevelt next week some $200,000,000 worth of public works projects in conjunction with the works-relief plan. Some 58 prominent attorneys joined in saying that the Wagner collective bargaining law violates the Constitu- tion. Raoul E. Desvernine is chair- man of the group, which plans to analyze other New Deal legislation. Earl F. Reedy attorney for the Weirton Steel Co. and the Wheeling Steel Corp., was chairman of the subcom- mittee that drafted the report, which contended that the Wagner act, setting up a permanent Labor Board to pre- vent “unfair labor practices,” violates the constitutional guarantee that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Further, the lawyers argued that the statute goes beyond powers given Congress over interstate commerct, under the Constitution. Attacked By Morrison. Frank E. Morrison, veteran secretary of the American Federation of Labor, _ declared: “This committee simply Tepresents the views held by special | privilege and big business, which have always opposed every piece of legisla- tion introduced in Congress and the | States to bring a little more happiness into workers’ homes. “It looks to me as if the Lawyers’ Committee has been organized for the purpose of making perhaps a stand to delay and impede the legis- lation enacted to bring about condi- tions which would result in eliminat- ing unemployment, benefiting labor and doing away with unfair competi- tion.” »—}i(;e)’ (Continued From First Page.) kill myself.” Then Yamada described the struggle to restrain Rogers. Rogers listened calmly as Battin related details leading up to the shooting, substantially the story told by Kelley through two and a half hours of questioning last night District Attorney Willlam E. Parke #aid Rogers probably would be the last witness. Attorney Vincent P. Downey of New York, representing the dead girl's parents. meantime refused to believe she committed suicide. He sat at counsel table as an observer. There are too many angles to this case that are mysterious and prob- . ebly never will see the light of day,” « he had—s$4.25—but that she declined. he said. He refused to explain further. Kelley testified that when they heard the shot Rogers ran upstairs and returned quivering, with his hands to his head, and crying: “She’s done it. She’s shot herself.” Kelley also testified that Rogers was “excited” throughout the day preceding the shooting and that he saw him pull the telephone wires outside the farm house. Pair “Had Words.” Drinks were served, Kelley said, and Miss Hoey set off some firecrack- ers. He and Rogers thought that was what she was doing when they heard the shot, he added. Kelley said Rogers and the once glamorous Miss Hoey had some “words” after she tried to borrow $5 from Kelley and one of the servants. Kelley said he offered her all that Parke asked if Miss Hoey had given any reason for wanting money. Kelley said that she had not. Here Parke broke in with another question about the testimony of Rogers pulling the telephone wires. “I know nothing about it,” Kelley said with emphasis. “It was some- thing about a call from Western Union about money, but I don’t know any- thing about it.” Call Excited Rogers. ‘The call was one of a series of events which excited Rogers, he said. Parke_ swerved the questioning back to the shot. “Was Miss Hoey sober at that time?” Parke asked regarding the firecracker incident. » -“Well, she had been drinking—" “What’s your judgment?” Parke de- manded. “Well, up until that time—it was before lunch—she couldn’t have had more than three drinks,” Kelley re- plied, then changed his estimate to “two drinks.” Asked if Rogers on his return from her room had said Miss Hoey was dead, Kelley testified he didn’t remember ‘whether the word “dead” was men- tioned. He was the only witness last night, aside from a photographer who sub- mitted pictures of the rural retreat. Navy Lends 4 Men To Maintain Radio Link With Ethiopia By the Associated Press.

RO \ ) That's the number of men now buying their clothes with our Ten Payment Plan. And (pardon us for bragging) it’s the largest number ever to us2 a service of this kind. It simply means that this convenient way to “charge it" perfectly fits present day needs. It permits responsible men to purchase clothes when they need them —and to pay for them out of income. It does away with the “monthly bill headache”—for there are no large lump payments due on the first or 10th of the month. And it costs not a cent extra % But that’s not all! We've an idea that these 483,266 men were not only interested in a convenient way to buy their clothes. We believe most of them are shrewd shoppers, who were first attracted by the quality of our woolens, our Rochester tailoring, and our friendly service. Without these features, our Ten Payment Plan would be an empty shell. With them, it is the sane way to a sound clothing investment. We invite you to use it, this Fall. ®n oll Bond Stores D D CLOTHES 1335 F N.W.
