s VAN DUZER URGES UNDERPASS PLAN Takoma Citizens Told That Pedestrian Lights Are Impractical Here. Trafic director William A. Van Duzer, speaking before a meeting of the Citizens' Association of Takoma, D. C. last night, outlined traffic problems confronting District officials and urged adoption of an underpass plan for pedestrians at hazardous downtown intersections. He pointed to Fifteenth street and New York avenue as an intersection where an underpass would serve to advantage. The passes would cross four ways at intersections, he said, allowing free flow of traffic and at the same time affording safety to pedestrians. Los Angeles, he pointed out, has 78 underpasses. As regards the proposed pedestrian light, Van Duzer explained that with the present progressive system of traffic lights it would be impractical. Selden M. Ely, director of the Schoolboy Patrol, and Richard M. Ham, director of safety of the Dis- trict of Columbia Motor Club, Amerl- can Automobile Association, also gpoke. The meeting was held at the Takoma Park Branch of the Public Library, Fifth and Cedar streets. Ely stressed the value of the school- boy patrol system here and lauded its members for their work. Ham pointed to the 36,000 traffic fatalities last year as a warning to motorists against reck- less driving. More than 1,000,000 per- | sons were injured, in addition to the | deaths, he said. Unanimous indorsement was given | The Evening Star's safety campaign | with adoption of a resolution intro-| duced by George E. Sullivan, chairman of the association’s Law and Legisla- tion Committee. Opposition was expressed to the re- cent proposal that revenues from the gasoline tax here be expended for general purposes. The association resolved that “if any change is to be made in the present law governing the application of such revenues it should not be to enable the application to general purposes, but rather to mat- ters directly relating to automobile traffic, such as more efficient methods of traffic control.” ———e Illuminating Gas Runs Bus.

ROBINSON REPLIES 0 HOQVER SPEECH Declares Attack ‘Was What Might Have Been Expected From an Ex-President.’ By the Associated Press. Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas says Herbert Hoover's Oak- land (Calif.) address, attacking the New Deal, was “what might reason- ably have been expected of an ex- President, defeated in his effort at re-election, who is seeking to get back.” The statement of Robinson, who is Democratic leader in the Senate, was | issued through the Democratic Na- tional Committee. In it he accused Mr. Hoover of “misstatements and distortions of the ordinary propa- gandist” and of “bookkeeping errors” ranging from $5,000,000,000 to $9,000,- 000,000 in discussing Government | finances. “He suggests,” Robinson said, “that the inevitable result of the Roosevelt | administration, if it perseveres, is that we shall see ‘one of these three horse- men ravage the land—taxation, or repudiation, or inflation.’ “It seems to me that the general opinion of the country is that if Mr. | Hoover had been re-elected and his | drifting, do-nothing policy had per- | severed, the horsemen we would have | had to face would have been whole- | sale starvation, complete bankruptcy THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Shortly after the Supreme Court had convened yesterday, Government lawyers submitted what they termed ;.::y “largest anti-trust case in his- It involves the suit against the American Sugar Institute, Inc, and 16 cane sugar companies, whose out- put in recent years has been “as high as $500,000,000 a year.” ‘The case was brought up from a New York district court and Solicitor General Stanley Reed moved that 2,619 pages of exhibits be added to the lengthy record already filed. Government lawyers charge the institute’s “trade agreements” went farther than N. R. A. codes, which were operated under a suspension of portions of the anti-trust laws. Price Fixing Charged. Price-fixing arrangements, price- posting rules and boycotts to control the market are among the 45 viola- tions of the Sherman act charged in the Government's briefs. The institute’s answer is that it sought only “open prices, publicly an- nounced,” the prevention of discrimi- nation among buyers and “to bring competition out into the open.” The court admitted 113 attorneys to practice and also heard a motion con- cerning a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain the release of Thomas J. Mooney, serving a life sentence in connection with the 1916 preparedness day parade bombing in San Francisco. Recess Until Monday. After several other motions had been submitted Chief Justice Hughes an- nounced a recess until next Monday “in order that the court can have opportunity to consider pending cases.” Among cases the Supreme Court may review are four suits involving District banks.

New Yor MRS.STOLL ADMITS PLEA FOR WOMAN Recalls Saying Wife of Al- leged Kidnaper Saved Her Life. By the Associated Press. Mrs, Frances A, Robinson and Thomas H. Robinson, sr., on kidnaping charges, admitted that she had told Federal agents Mrs. Robinson “saved my life.” The Louisville soclety belle, for whose $50,000 kidnaping a year ago Thomas H. Robinson, jr., is being hunted by Federal agents, sald she made the remark as Federal agents intercepted the automooile in which she was returning with Mrs. Robin- son to Louisville. The wife and father of Robinson, jr., are being tried for complicity in the kidnaping in Federal District Court here. After saying she could not remem- W. 8 J. Sloane ber the remark, Mrs. Stoll said, “I believe I did say something like that.” 8he saild she told the Federal agents this out of “gratitude.” Under questioning of Defense Attorney Jack Norman, she sald that her “grati- tude” for Mrs. Robinson was only because she was not required to re- main alone in the closet of an In- dianapolis apgriment where she al- legedly was held prisoner by Robin- son, jr., after the kidnaping. Defense counsel also sharply ques- tioned Mrs. Stoll's story of her re- lease by Robinson, jr., when he al- legedly got the $50,000 ransom. Gov- ernment counsel objected frequently to defense tactics. Under persistent defense question- ing, Mrs. Stoll testified that Robinson, Jr., told her his wife thought the pack- | 8ge of money she was to forward by express contained books. Mrs. Stoll said, “he told me the package was money, but he never said he told his wife that.” Mrs, Stoll testified that after Rob- inson, jr., had left her on the day of her release she was alone a while in the apartment at Indianapolis. Mrs. Robinson told her, she said, that she was going out “to get In direct testimony, Mr. Stoll re- * A5 lated that her abductor, whom she named as Robinson, jr., slugged her twice with an iron pipe so that her head dripped blood for 24 hours, held her prisoner for six days, and re- leased her after Mrs. Robinson deliv- ered the ransom to an Indlanapol; apartment. e 12 convicted, Mrs. Robinson and her father-in-law may be sentenced to death, providing the jury of middle« aged men hearing the case so recom- mends.
