MOVETO SUSPEND POLICE: REJECTED Reporters 0vusted During Verbal Clash Among Prince Georges Commissioners. Suspension of four more Prince Georges County, Md., police officers, requested in a motion by Commis- sioner Vinton D. Cockey was voted down 4 to 1 by his colleagues in Up- per Marlboro today. Accusations against the constables were presented in a letter to the board of commissioners from Key- stone Automobile Club Attorney Har- vey L. Cobb. The board last week refused to hear Cobb make Verbal complaints against the officers. Three Already Suspended. Discussion over the letter brought & heated verbal clash between Cockey and Board Chairman Perry Boswell The chairman finally ordered press representatives to leave the commis- sion’s chamber before Cockey's mo- tion was defeated. Boswell accused Cockey of previous knowledge of the letter’s contents. Three county policemen already have been suspended pending comple- tion of the grand jury’s investigation of graft charges. Cockey's motion pro- posed similar treatment of the quartet named in the Keystone letter. Immediate Probe Asked. A resolution from the Prince Georges Chamber of Commerce de- manding an immediate investigation of the police by the county commis- sioners, was received by the board. The resolution asked hearings to de- termine the guilt or innocence of the three suspended officers. A second suit was filed against El- mer Pumphrey, Suitland, Md., bonds- man, in Upper Marlboro, Md. yes- terday, when a Washington motorist sought $156.70 reputedly paid the de- fendant for fine, court costs and bond- ing fee after the plaintiff’s arrest on & traffic charge. ‘The motorist, Stanley A. Fox of 2507 Sherman avenue, averred that he gave the money to Pumphrey in two amounts—$55 for a fee when released under $1,100 bond on two traffic of- fenses, and $101.70 for the fine and court costs. Sarga (Continued From First Page.) the news by making sweeping passes with the 8-pound cavalry saber he will wield against the challengees. The seconds disclosed part of the delay was due to the necessity of get- ting the army’s permission for the duel, since three of Sarga's opponents are reserve officers. The army invariably gives its ap- | proval, but first conducts an investiga- tion to see that all of the rules are | strictly observed. Sarga himself was confident he would put up a good showing against his adversaries. “I'm not as good at fencing as I was two years ago,” he said, “hut I'm still able to take care of myself,” His wife, the granddaughter of a wealthy Hungarian banker who did not approve of her marriage, showed she had regained some of her flag- ging courage. Despite her condition —she expects to become a mother around Christmas time—she passed off queries concerning the possible fate of her dueling husband, saying; “That's the risk and honor of be- ing the wife of a Hungarian.” She smiled bravely and lmlstedy‘ there was no other course open for him, particularly after his opponents had inferred he married her for her money. She took some comfort in the fact there have been very few fatalities in the history of Hungarian duels, of | which fencing experts estimate 300 are.fought each month.

Patricia Ann, the fat turkey shown sticking ~ her head through the bars of a ninth precinct cell, was captured by Motor Cycle Officer C. A.

Pat’s release was effected when three small boys tried to extricate a bird apiece from the crates and were scared off by Scott. Capt. R. H.

Of even greater import, however, is the possession of power to revoke | outright the charters and certificates of affiliation of the suspended unions —and of any other unions that might incur’ the displeasure of the rein- | forced federation leadership. Con- | tained in a “rule of procedure” draft- ed by the council itself and specifi- cally approved in the statement of policy voted last night, the revoca- tion authority gives the council the power of life and death over member unions. Only the, semblance of protection exists in the provision that such rev- ocation s subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of a federation con- vention. With suspended unions de- | nied voting privilege, such a major- ity would be obtainsble in almost any circumstance. 4 Charles P. Howard, president of the ‘Typographical Union, today accused A. F. of L. leaders of “starting the federation toward destruction” by con- tinuing indefinitely the suspension of the ten rebel unions. Howard is secretary of John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Or- ganization. “The issue which has split the trade union movement into what is certain to become two determined groups,” Howard said, “is not the guilt or inno- cence of the Committee for Industrial Organization. “It is not the question of whether industrial unionism in mass produc- | <VRKE) ""Contest’’ YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A THING In many coses « <« falling hair! « in your mirror! v o .. 20 my storyl of baldness, the same story runs true to form.

Resolutions, ‘re-election of officers and selection of a city for next year’s convention was the only remaining husiness. . Most interesting feature of last night's vote, perhaps, is the fact that addition of 8314 votes, the number officially accredited the 10 suspended unions in the 1936 report of the fed- eration secretary, still would have left the majority with a margin of 21,679 to 10,357, or just above the two- thirds necessary for outright expul- sion. On the other hand, actual pres- ence with voting powers of the C. 1. O. leaders undoubtedly would have swung some of the 21,679 to the other column. Analysis of the vote shows that only seven unions of any appreciable voting strength opposed the pro-council re- port of the Resolutions Committee, these being the Bakery and Con- fectionery Workers, 261 votes; Brewery ‘Workers, 420; Elevator Constructors, 102; United Hatters, 221; Pulp and Paper Mill Workers, 91; Teachers, 127, and International Typographical Union, 488. dent George L.

I O, as he opened debate in the afternoon. Three Steps Cited. In summary, its recommendations were concentrated into three specific steps, as follows: (1) Renewal of the A. F. of L. Ex- ecutive Council's peace overtures with the unions it suspended two months ago for “insurrection” by forming the Committee for Industrial Organization. (2) Empowering the Executive Coun- cil to call the federation into special convention to deal with the rebels should peace maneuvers fail and the relationship between the A. F. of L. and suspended unions become “beyond bearing.” (3) Approval of the Executive Coun- cil’s handling of the situation thus far and continued suspension “until the present breach is healed,” leaving in- terim relations between the two groups to the Executive Council's judgment. Two members of the 17-man com- mittee, headed by Matthew Woll, mem- ber of the council and president of the photoengravers, refused to concwr in the repoft. These were J. C. Lewis, representing the Iowa State Federa- tion, and A. A. Myrup, president of the bakery and confectionery workers. Emphasizing that he was not speak- ing as an emissary of the C. I Zaritsky moved quietly through a weli- | { suspension and to the proposed rule of procedure. Declaring the suspen- sions had closed the door to peace, he assailed the council'’s action only & short 60 days before a convention was scheduled, at which time there would | have been actual opportunity to fight | { out the differences “man-fashion.” | And so pronounced was applause accorded his criticism of the eommit-’ tee's reference to unions ‘“composed | | STEAMSHIPS.

To ice Guinness is to lose the full heartiness of its flavour, and perhaps to spoil the rising of its creamy, close- knit head. Guinness is made from natural ingredients alone... barley malt, hops, yeast and water—nothing else. It is brewed slowly, then kept in oak vats for about a year and matured again in Bottle. Because Guinness is a natural brew, its finest quali- ties are fostered at a normal temperature. But in spite of this, we’ve heard of people from Alaska to Arizona who drank their Guinness at the local tem- perature—and enjoyed it.
