336 VIRGINIA LAWS EFFECTIVE FRIDAY Beer Stamp Act and Ban on Slot Machines to Come Later. By the Associzted Press. RICHMOND, Va. June 18.—Ap- proximately 336 bills passed by the 1036 General Assembly early this year and approved by Gov. Peery will be- come a part of the laws of Virginia tomorrow. Exactly 100 more were passed and approved, but most of these were emergency measures and became effective when they were gigned by the Governor about the middle of March. One or two measures, such as that requiring stamps and crowns on beer containers as a means of collecting the beer tax. and the slot machine bill, become effective later. To give the tax department time to work out the new method. the beer bill will become law on August 1. The bill prohibiting the use of any type of slot machine, save for pleasure only, will not become law until Janu- ary 1, 1937, since it was felt that the act might involve some machines that had been licensed for the present calendar year. All “Thons” Banned. “Walkathons” and “bikathons” and all “thons” of that nature will be banned from the State after today. Under other laws the advertisements of dentists and optometrists will be drastically regulated. They will be permitted only announcements of name, address and telephone number. Bills recommended by the Governor's advisory council on legislation were among the most salient adopted by the assembly. The council, which has been operating with the aid of con- tributions from the Spelman fund, will meet here today te wind up its busi- ness. The Legislature made the council, which has heretofore had a semi-official status, an official State agency, but the Governor has yet to name the members of the new body. The relief bill, first of its kind adopted during the depression and effective tomorrow, provides $950,000 for distribution to the localities which put up 60 per cent of their share of the State fund for relief during the first vear of the biennium beginning July 1. The same amount is stipulated for the second year of the biennium, provided $570,000 of it is available. The unconditional appropriation for the second year is $580,000. Teeth in Bank Measure. The State relief funds are administered by the localities the general guidance of the Welfare Department. Among the bills recommended by the council was the measure putting “teeth” in the Virginia banking code providing penalities for infractions of the code and also providing for the removal of bank officials who persist {n unsound banking practices. Moreover, the new laws restrict the flithority of banks to invest in com- ercial stock and real estate securities; nn.hnnm the State Corporation Com- mission to examine bank affiliates; and restricts the authority to make loans secured by real estate. | At the suggestion of the council, a w providing for alternate jurors in long drawn out criminal cases was passed, along with other bills giving the courts more power to enforce the 1aws against reckless driving.

A threatened filibuster by Senator Holt, Democrat, of West Virginia, against passage of the new Guffey- Vinson coal price-fixing bill drew from John L. Lewis last night a declara- tion that Holt “is again proving him- self a traitor to the coal miners of West Virginia.” Holt said he would make a floor fight against the Guffey-Vinson meas- ure. which may come up for consid- eration in the Senate today. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, said in a state- ment Holt was showing “his usual con- duct” in breaking compaign promises “to the effect that he would vote for everything desired by the United Mine Workers of America.” Holt attacked the new bill as not containing “a single proviso in the miners’ behalf.” “I am opposed to the present. Guffey coal bill” Holt said in his statement. “It sets up a definite Price-fixing scheme, which in my Opinion is a very dangerous step for this Government to take.” 2 e E AR MINISTER IS SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS IN SLAYING By the Associated Press.

Newspaper men not only cover the news, but sometimes are good at forecasting it. On October 29, 1935, nine mem- bers of the Fourth Estate decided to hold a secret ballot of the most lifely choice for the Republican nominee for President. A wager was made by the group and each choice was sealed and put away. The other day the envelopes were opened. Sir out of nine papers read “Landon.” ® ox % x HORSE TROUBLE.

TACTICIANS WO NEW YORK Hamilton. Predicts Landon and Knox Will Carry 42 States. B, the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 18.—The, Repub- lican party’s campaign strategy in the crucial Eastern States was mapped to- day as John D. M. Hamilton, national chairman, conferred with State leaders. “We're going to carry the East,” Hamilton predicted. “I think Roose- velt ought to carry six of the 48 States. T'll be rather generous about that.” ‘The Republican chairman, arriving last night by plane, indicated he would give special attention to swinging New York’s 47 electoral votes. To Organize New York. Details of organization were first on his program as he prepared to inspect the offices tentatively chosen as Re- publican State and national headquar- ters in New York. He was expected also to discuss campaign finances with party leaders. In response to & question concerning the man the Landon forces would choose to direct the campaign in New York, Hamilton said: “I suppose the State chairman in New York will be in charge.” The State chairman is Melvin C. Eaton, whose name had been men- tioned with. Clarence R. King of Syra- cuse and J. Russell Sprague of Nassau County as the possible director of the | Landon-Knox campaign in this State. Hamilton said the party's outlook in the West had brightened since the | | Cleveland convention. “Country Is on Fire.” “The country out there is on fire," he said. “You haven't seen anything | like the Middle West. “We're going to carry the Mountain States and two at least on the coast, if not all three.” He sald there was “no question” about Republican success in New York | | and New Jersey. | _ Hamilton declined to comment on Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's announce- ment of the formation of a third party. Hamilton said he planned to call | on Mrs. Natalie Couch, a member of the Executive Committee of the Re- publican State Committee, to ask her to head the women's division in New York. | He told reporters he also would | confer this afternoon with Kenneth | Simpson, Republican leader in Man- | hattan.

Fourteen-week-old George, recov- ering from pneumonia in the Chil- dren’s Hospital, held a check for $1,000 tightly in a small hand yester- day afternoon and let everybody know he thought it was swell. George is recuperating in the bed maintained at the hospital by the Newspaper Women’s Club, and the check was the hospital's share of the proceeds from the club’s St. Patrick’s day fair at the National Press Club. Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, chairman of the Child Welfare Board of the hospital and an associate member of the club, presented the check to Miss Mattie Gibson, superintendent of the hospital, while George beamed approval, Also witnessing the pres- entation were Margaret Hart, presi- dent of the club; Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, president of the Board of Lady Managers of the hospital; Ned Brunson Harris, Washington corre- spondent of the Minneapolis Journal, who was chairman of the fair, and Margaret Germond, treasurer of the club. The first fair given by the club, in May, 1934, netted $1,000, which was divided between the club’s fellow- ship fund and the milk fund for undernourished children, which is handled by Providence Hospital and the Ladies of Charity. Last year the club gave a ball to finance main- tenance of a bed in Children’s Hospital for those in need, and from time to time since has added to that fund. The gift yesterday was the largest single check the club has presented. The remaining $600, which is the net result so far of the St. Patrick's fair, will be divided between Providence Hospital and the Ladies of Charity for their milk funds. — FEDERAL SHIPPING J. T. Engdoll Faces Charges of Conduct Unbecoming U. §. Employe. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 18—John J. Daly, United States shipping com- missioner, said yesterday he had filed charges of conduct unbecoming a Federal Government official against Joseph T. Engdoll, deputy commis- &ioner. Daly said an informal investiga- tion had developed that Endoll had written a note to David E. Grange, executive vice president of the International Seamen's Union, passes for Engdoll and his wife from the Eastern Steamship Co. Engdoll, saying he later told Grange “surprising” speed. Before the Cleveland convention | named the Kansan for President and | | the Chicago publisher for his running | | mate, Goodspeed said, the sale of “dol- | lar certificates”—Republican cam- | | paign “shares” for which contributors | pay $1—ran about 700 a day. | Last Saturday, the day after the | | ticket was completed, the sale zoomed | to 1,500, the treasurer added, and on Monday of this week the day's total | was 2,500.

It was the first time Republicans | had not emerged from a convention with & bare money cupboard. Hamilton announced he would spend most of his time between now | | and November stumping the country. To Confer in Washington. Hamilton said he expected to | sume command of the national h quarters here the latter part of next week, after a conference with Re- publican leaders in Washington. The present staff of the Western divisional headquarters here wou.d be used as the nucleus of the new na- tional headquarters, Hamilton dis- closed. Harrison Spangler, director of the Western division, would, he said, be in charge of regular organization of State, county and precinct Repub- lican workers. Arthur M. Curtis of Springfield, Mo., would be assigned to special organiza- tion work, such as that of veterans' organization and the like. All research work and publicity will be under the direction of Charleton McVeagh of Armonk, N. Y. LANDON PLANS TRIP, Governor to Leave Wednesday for | Colorado Vacation.

Landon announced today he had selected next Wednesday to start with his family for a vacation in Colorado, returning July 6 for a special session of the Kansas Legislature. The Governor said he would issus the call for the special session, fixing the date, “within the next day or two.” It would be, he said, “shortly after I come back.” He also indicated he would announce the date and place for his formal notification of his selection as Re- publican presidential nominee before his departure. Dressed in a white suit and wearing a dark blue tie, the Governor walked the eight blocks from the mansion to his office, arriving in genial mood shortly after 9 o'clock. Gov. Landon said the special session would be summoned to consider sub- mission of a “broad, general amend- ment” to the State constitution to enable the Legislature to enact social security legislation in conformity with Federal requirements. A proposed amendment has been drafted by the legislative council. He pointed out the session may not be limited to a specific program by thg call. Asked how long the session might last, he replied : m’]"{hflt'n something you never can Asked if he would comment on Postmaster General Farley’s remarks that “Kensas is a splendid State,” Landon smiled. “That is @ matter I don't care to discuss,” he sald, He told reporters the family would travel by train to ver, arriving there Thursday s and going to to cancel the request, explained he had known Grange for 30 years and that his action was purely a personal one and had nothing to do with his office as deputy shipping commis- sioner.

Holmes, principal of Anacostia Junior- Senior High School, be appointed as- sistant superintendent of schools to fill the vacancy created by the death of Dr. Stephen E. Kramer. The special meeting was held in the Langley Junior High School. Holmes is a former member of the association and served as principal of the Langley School for & number of years. He was very active in civic af- fairs and co-operated in community center activities. At Langley he made an enviable record, Mrs. Julia Lawless, chairman of the Committee on Schools and School Houses, who introduced the resolution, said. The Langley Parent-Teacher As- sociation has recommended Holmes' appointment, Secretary James A. Crooks said. He was well liked by the pupils who were at Langley under him, Crooks said. Coples of the resolution will be sent to Dr. Frank Ballou, superintendent of schools, and to other civic groups. the McGraw ranch near Estes Park by motor bus. He said there would be no speeches en route. The group will include Gov. and Mrs. Landon, their two children, Nancy Jo and John Cobb, Mrs, Lan- don’s mother, Mrs. 8. E.

COUNTY ROADAID S SEEN WITHHELD Kensington Chamber Says Montgomery Not Getting “Fair Share.” By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. KENSINGTON, Md.,, June 18.—A charge that a “fair share” of high- | way imrovement funds is being with- held from Montgomery County was| leveled at the State Roads Commis- sion by the Kensington Chamber of | Commerce last night. | Declaring that reports show the county has received an inadequate | portion of approximately $11,000,000 | available for improvements this year. the trade body beseeched road officials | to release a “just amount” for work | badly needed in every section of the| county. ‘The appeal was contained in & reso- lution unanimously passed by the| chamber. County officials and the powerful Montgomery County Civic | Federation will be requested to join | in efforts to obtain the additional road moneys sought. W. I. Cleveland, president of the chamber, delivered a tirade against the stand taken by the commission with county and declared the commission is “standing behind the fallacy of the $250.000 overdraft in Montgomery's lateral road gasoline tax account.” “The lateral road account is but one of five sources from which funds can be made available to the county and represents but a small portion of the money to which we are entitled | for highway work,” he added. His statement was made after a report by W. H. McGinnis, chairman of the Committee on Roads, Streets and bridges, showing that while $10,803,657.17 has been available for improvements this year the only Montgomery items on the program are $35,000 for improving the center of Wisconsin avenue, in Bethesda, and allocations for the Rockville and Kensington crossing eleminations. Others Join Attack. Others who joined in the attack were E. W. Shepard, Lewis T. Boyn- ton, Charles W. Lane and McGinnis. ‘The latter asserted that one of the | most important projects in the county is the improvement of the center of Connecticut avenue. He declared the commission at one time approved the project, but later abandoned it for some unexplained reason. President Cleveland was directed to call & meeting of the Executive and Advisory Committees, the Board of Education, county commissioners and the superintendent of schools to con- sider the possibility of an immediate sale of the $180,000 school improve- ment bond issue authorized at the last session of the State Legislature. Embodied in the authorization are provisions for the allocation of $160,- 000 for purchase of a site and con- struction of the first unit of a junior high school in Kensington. Authorize Playground Unit. The chamber also authorized Cleve- land to name a playgrounds commit- tee to promote interest in the local playground and its activities. He ap- pointed McGinnis, Richard F. Green, Archer Woodwell, Alfred B. Hastings and Lane to serve in that connection. A resolution was adopted expressing the chamber's appreciation of the county commissioners’ action in re- jecting the Chevy Chase Lake in- cinerator application and of the Mary- land-National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission's recommendation that & permit for the proposed plant be denied. G. Milton Benson was elected to membership. ‘The Winter and Spring. One nominated for second place on the Republican ticket. Noth- ing ever vanished more rapidly into thin air than did that was not mentioned at Cleveland, even in private conversation. It was the sort of wish fulfillment dream that fades into forgetfulness when the dreamer is at last thoroughly awake and facing reality. The other was that the anti-new Deal Demo- crats would stage & big walk out at the Demo- cratic convention. That idea alsc seems to have evaporated. The latest report is that Gov. Smith intends to let his alternate occupy his seat. The truth is that he and others like him would gain little or nothing by attémpting to state their case &t Philadelphia.

The known wounded were: John Pudlosky, 40, shot in the leg; Al Gray, 26, shotgun pellet wound in | the face; J. W. Pomphrett, 47, minor shotgun pellet wound, all union mem- bers, and two workers whose names were not available, wounded on com- pany property. William Dick, 24, claimed to have been ‘“scratched” by a bullet when struck in the face by a tear gas shell. Observers said probably a score of sympathizers, armed with rifles, had fired on the factory from vantage points near a high fence surrounding the premises. The plant’s large water tank. pierced by bullets, was leaking. Authorities said this constituted a fire hazard. Capt. Joseph Parilla of Youngstown, & National Guard observer, said one man wounded in the plant crawled from the premises and was taken to Cleveland for medical aid. The man, later identified as John Hogan, 41, was taken to Lakeside Hos- pital, Cleveland, where physicians said he was in serious condition from a stomach wound.

In illustration, he declared the brokers' profits on sale of $100,000 Government bonds is about $10, but a 2 per cent tax on the transaction would be $2,000. Such a circumstance, he said, would Jeopardize Government financing. Doane’s testimony featured the clos- ing of the House committee’s personal appearance program, as it was an- nounced that no further hearing would be held. Cites “Misrepresentation.” In opening his testimony the econo- mist charged that the Townsend Weekly is persisting in “misquoting and | misrepresenting” him as supporting the economics of the plan. | Raymond Manning, tax expert at the Congressional Library, followed Doan on the stand and submitted a num- ber of tables on transactions tax re- ceipts in foreign countries. Selecting France and Germany as countries having levies similar to that proposed in the Townsend plan, Man- ning said receipts had been disappoint= ingly small in each case. Before the committee met, Repre- sentative Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan, had filed his own report on | the committee’s investigation, accu: Dr. Prancis E. Townsend of hav | “delusions of grandeur” and presiden- | tial ambitions The full committee report is now in | preparation, with permission being granted yesterday by the House for the | printing of 200.000 copies. The House | also sanctioned the printing of 10,000 copies of the hearings. Ordinarily, only about 1,000 copies of committee hearings and reports are printed, but ‘ln order that the findings of the In- | vestigating Committee might be w | circulated for campaign use, the au- thority to print the extra volume was sought In his advance report. Represent- ative Hoffman charges that Townsend did not even originate his pensicn plan, “cribbing” it from one C. Stewart McCord Conclusions Set Forth. The conclusions set forth by Hofl- man’s report follow in part: “‘That the plan had been used by br. Townsend's organizations * * * to col- lect more than $1,000,000 from mem- bers of local clubs and that this sum has been used in large part fo enrichment of Dr. Townsend and hi associates, who in turn have inspired s of “That * * * Dr. Townsend has de- lusions of grandeur and sees himself as a presidential candidate “The record further discloses that the so-called Townsend plan is an economic impossibility. “To ths end Congress should ® ® ¢ give the necessary assistance to the States in solving the problem. Lezis- lation should be enacted requiring the Federal Government to give to each State, if the States cannot make com- pletely adequate provision from their own funds, an amount equal to that | appropriated by the States for the re- lief of the citizens of the State. Al relief funds should be administered through local agencies to those who are in need and in accordance with their need. “Such legislation should at all time: have in mind the fact that workers are to be protected in their earnings that home owners and laborers are not | o have their property or their earnings taken from them except as the gen- eral welfare may require that they contribute a portion of their income to relieve actual distress and want: that no one should be permitted to go hun- gry or cold or without suitable clot)i- | ing; but that, on the other hand. no one physically able to work should b permitted to loaf, to live in idlene:s at the expense of the thrfty and the indusrious. * * ¢ “Under no circumstances should want, suffering or hardship, dependent old age, be exploited to obtain political support.” VANDERBILT HEIRESS DIVORCES H.
