Chairman, Asking Vote of Confidence, Proved Worth, Says Colladay. B the Associated Press. Supporters rallied around John D. M. Hamilton today in an effort to keep him in the post of Republican national chairman despite his offer to step out. Hamilton, who managed the Landon campaign, announced he would offer his resignation to the party’s National Committee in Chicago December 17. His statement implied, however, that he would remain if given a vote of confidence. Several national committeemen spoke out in favor of keeping Hamilton at the party helm, though some others, including the veteran J. Henry Rora- back of Connecticut and Charles D. Hilles of New York reserved comment. ‘There has been some sentiment for & new chairman since the Roosevelt landslide, but Hamilton's friends hoped Tal | the committee would request him to stay on. E. F. Colladay, national committee- - | man for the District, quickly rallied to Hamilton’s support, urging that he be “kept in command.” “I think Hamilton should be given a vote of confidence and re-elected unanimously,” Colladay said. Campaign Job Commended. “He is entitled to it, because nobody could have done the job better under 2|the circumstances of the last came paign.” Colladay was supported by Mrs. Vir- ¢ |ginia White Speel, national commit- teewoman for the District, who said acceptance of Hamilton’s resignation T. | “would be a piece of great ingrati- tude.” “Hamilton tried to do in four and done in four years,” she said. “He really accomplished a splendid job, and it would show a grave lack of appre- ciation to let him go. I most ardently hope he is re-elected.” Vice Chairman Ralph E. Williams of Portland, Oreg., predicted Hamil- {ton would be retained. “Hamilton did the best that could be done in the recent campaign,” he said. “I don't know of any feeling against him in the commit! State Senator G. Mason Owlett, Pennsylvania committeeman, said he | favored Hamilton “unless it can be | demonstrated some one else can do a better job.” Among others urging his retention were the committeemen from Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, Ne- braska, California, Arizona, Montana, Tennessee and Maine. Mrs. Sidney Brown, Florida committeewoman, said she would support him. Hamilton indicated he wanted an expression from the committee as to the management of the past cam- paign. He said he could not con- tinue as chairman without an expres- sion of confidence. In any case, he said, he would ap- ply “whole-hearted effort” to wiping out the party’s $1,300,000 deficit. Friends of Hamilton said he first mentioned resigning in Chicago two days after the Roosevelt landslide. The decision to offer to step out crystallized about two weeks ago, it was said, before Representative Fish, Republican, of New York demanded that Hamilton go as a first move for “liberalization” of the party. ‘Whether he had discussed the ques- tion with Gov. Alf M. Landon was not known. Sources in touch with Hamil- ton said, however, that he definitely had not spoken of the matter with any committee member and would not do 80 until the meeting. When his announcement was given out here the energetic young chairman was enjoying a fishing vacation at Hobe Sound, Fla. If the resignation is accepted the choice of a chairman will devolve on the committee. The successor need not be a member of the committee.

JURY MAY ACT IN GARTER DEATH 'Confession of Slaying of Roommate Attributed to M. L. Bolling. BY IRVING LASH, Staft Correspondent of The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Decem- ber 5—A special grand jury is ex- pected to be called here Monday to consider an indictment against so- cially prominent M. Landon Bolling, 29, charged with the murder of George Carter, his 29-year-old roommate. Suspected since Carter's body— stabbed and with a bullet wound in the head—was found early Tuesday under conditions arranged to point to suicide, Bolling was arrested early yesterday and held incommunicado after he was reported by Common- wealth Attorney W. B. F. Cole to have confessed to the crime. Less than 24 hours before he was taken into custody and accused of the murder, Bolling acted as a pall- bearer for Carter. The dead man was a house painter and was employed by Bolling when he conducted a paint and supply business left him in the will of his father, Maurice L. Bolling, one-time member of the City Council. Exposure Held Motive. A threat by Carter to expose Boll- |ing's association with a married woman was given by police as the mo- tive for the slaying. ‘The unexplained disappearance of a knife that narrowly missed piercing Carter’s heart resulted in Richmond detectives being called in on the case and the subsequent discrediting of Bolling’s first story that his friend had taken his own life. When first questioned after he re- ported finding Carter’s body in the bathtub at their quarters, Bolling maintained that the young painter had shot himself, pointing to the posi- tion of a .22-caliber rifle, which lay on the dead man’s chest under his hands. Apparently shaken by the expe- rience of attending Carter’s. funeral and seeing his bereaved parents, Boll- ing broke down under questioning, Cole said, and made a written con- fession and re-enacted the crime for detectives. The commonwealth attorney recon- structed the murder in this manner: ‘Three weeks ago Oarter told Bolling he intended to disclose his friend’s relations with a married woman whom they both knew, this account related. Monday night the roommates went to drill together at the National Guard %0 | Armory, later returning home to change their clothes and go out and eat. Carter went back to the house alone while Bolling visited friends and talked until about 1 a.m. Tuesday. ‘When Bolling returned home he and Carter became engaged in a heated argument over the woman, this version contended, and, with a sheath knife, Bolling stabbed Carter, who struggled over possession of the rifie, which was among & collection of firearms in the he threw the body into the tub and tried to “cover up” the crime. Knife Disposed Of. Bolling is said to have disposed of the knife by throwing it into the Rap- pahannock River after he voluntarily appeared at police headquarters for questioning. Although Bolling denied clubbing Carter, the latter suffered several skull fractures which investigators do not believe were caused by his head strik- ing the tub. Bolllnt.vhahvel.lmwnhm 'u ® | : C‘ il PROBES LAUNCHED INBRIDGE KILLINGS Highways Head to Make Report on McDonald, Roberts Deaths. A four-sided investigation was un- der way today to determine the cause of the accident yesterday in which & prominent Washington contractor and one of his employes were killed by a two-ton beam, which fell from the new Benning viaduct at Kenilworth avenue and Benning road northeast, Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, director of highways, was expected to make a written report of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy to Acting En- gineer Commissioner, Patrick H, Tan- sey. Edward Dawson, District claims agent, and the bridge inspector’s office also were investigating, while Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald was conduct- ing a separate inquiry. The two men killed were John L. McDonald, 60, of 1845 Lamont street, head of the Federal Steel Erecting Co., and Joseph (Lloyd) Roberts, 54, of 1204 K street. Killed When He Tripped. McDonald, a contractor here for more than 20 years, tripped and fell when he tried to get out of the way of the falling beam. He was killed instantly. Roberts died in Casualty Hospital three hours later. Another employe, Cornelius Hanley, 49, of 323 East Capitol street, who was standing beneath the viaduct with McDonald, was reported resting com- fortably at Emergency Hospital today. ‘The beam struck s glancing blow on his back. Coroner MacDonald said he hasn’t set a time for an inquest and would not be able to complete his own in- vestigation of the accident until he receives the bridge inspector’s report. Two other employes, who, with Roberts, were astride the beam, escaped injury by catching hold of a cable as the heavy girder started to fall, jerking with it three connecting beams, each weighing about 500 pounds. They were George Decatur, 469 I street, and Wallace Kirtley, 523 Eleventh street. Supervised Other Structures. McDonald for many years was super- intendent for the George A. Fuller construction firm and had charge of erection of the Munsey Building, Raleigh Hotel and other buildings. Later he had the steel contracts for the Standard Oil Co. Building, the Department of Justice, Hall of Science, new House Office, Archives and other Government buildings. McDonald is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary McDonald, and two sisters. Funeral services will be held at 10 Burial will be in Fort Lincoln Ceme- tery. Funeral arrangements for Roberts have not yet been completed. 25,000 IN PARADE FOR STRIKE CAUSE | Maritime Deadlock Duplicated in Many Industries Through- out U. S. BY the Associated Press. Organizers called 25,000 men, women and children to parade at San Pran- cisco today in protest against the stalemate in the Nation’s maritime strike—a deadlock duplicated in vari- ous other industries troubled by walkouts. Strife in the shipping industry kept thousands of workers idle in San Francisco and other ports on the Pa- cific, Atlantic and Gulf coasts addition, 5,600 workers were affected San Francigp Bay area.

At New York the strike of “rank and file” seamen continued unabated, but its repercussions involving loading and unloading of French ships faded. Non-striking dockworkers agreed to resume handling cargoes after being assured French longshoremen, who sympathized with American striking seamen, would lift their work embargo against’ American vessels. Negotiators had strike settlements in the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.’s No. 1 plant, at Akron, Ohio, and at the Midland Steel Products Co. plant, at Detroit, to show for their week'’s efforts. ‘The Midland peace agreement in- cluded wage adjustments and aboli- tion of the piece-work system.

Committee Argument Threatens to Block Progress. BUENOS AIRES, December § (#).— The Committee on Organization of Peace of the Inter-American Peace Conference got into a wrangle today over a technical point that threat- ened for a time to jam the machinery of that group, most important subdi- vision of the entire parley. A suggestion that only one man be named to report on each of the peace proposals placed before the committee brought opposition from Miguel Cruchaga, Chilean foreign minister, who insisted that subcommittees be organized to consider the plans. ’, Most of the Latin-American repre- sentatives joined in the argument and | Chairman “Francisco Castillo Najera, Mexican Ambassador to Washington, after rapping on the table several times, shouted out a challenge that he was chairman, that the dispute was getting nowhere and that he proposed to name reporters. Cruchago immediately protested and was joined by the Argentine and Uruguayan committeemen.
