2 ORDERED HELD Washington BY CORONER'S JURY| W avside Gray and Mrs. Kellison Face Further Action in Fatal Shooting. A coroner’s jury yesterday held Louis Randolph Gray, 38, colored, for grand jury action in connection with the fatal shooting of John O'Donnell, 27, of 912 Twelfth street, during an argument early Sunday at the corner of Eleventh and M streets. Before hearing witnesses in this case, the jury returned a similar ver- dict in another recent fatal shooting, holding Mrs. Frances Norene Kelli- son, 35, of 1311 Eleventh street, for grand jury action in connection with the slaying of her 35-year-old hus- band, John H. Kellison. Eyewitness accounts of events which preceded the killing of O'Donnell were given the jury by John Nolan, 31i C street southeast, a laborer, and Frank Mangan, also of 912 Twelfth street, both of whom were with the victim when he accosted Gray and asked for & match. Shot Through Heart. Gray, who lives at 1126 Eleventh street, refused O'Donnell’s request with the words, “Don't ask me for nothing,” it was testified. O'Donnell struck the colored man, who then fired two pistol shots at him, the jury ‘was told. O’Donnell was shot through the heart, and Nolan was shot in the arm after he, too, had struck Gray, according to the testimony. Mangan, meantime, had leaped be- hind a tree and was uninjured. O'Donnell was rushed to Emergency ‘Hospital, but was dead on arrival. Nolan received treatment at George ‘Washington Hospital. Deputy Coroner Christopher J. Murphy, who performed an autopsy on the victim’s body, said the bullet that killed him caught in the fold of & handkerchief he was wearing in his left breast pocket and entered his chest, pulling the handkerchief into the wound. A high light of the testimony in the Kellison inquiry was the disclosure by Sergt. Walter S. Beck of the homicide squad that the .32-caliber revolver used in the shooting belonged to Dal- ton Robinson, 1300 block of Twelfth street, whose home Mrs. Kellison and two of her daughters allegedly visited shortly before the tragedy. Mrs. Kellison previously had told investiga- tors she purchased the gun from an unidentified colored man three weeks ago. Admits Ownership. Robinson admitted on the witness stand that he owned the revolver, but denied he had given it to Mrs. Kelli- son. He testified he last saw the gun in a bureau drawer at his home about 10 days ago. The inquest also was marked by the testimony of Frances Mae Greg- ory, 14, and her 12-year-old sister Bessie, two of the six children of Mrs. Kellison by a previous marriage. They told the jury their “stepfather often argued with their mother and had struck her on several occasions. Throughout the investigation Mrs. Kellison held her head in her hands, crying intermittently, and raising her head only once or twice to talk with her attorney, Milton I. Lewis. When | she heard the jury’s verdict she be- @an sobbing violently.

PROBLEM. 111 E same girl,” the one who lways writes to the Way- side under that signature, bobbed up yesterday with a thought which is being passed on for what it is worth at this particular season. “Don’t you think,” she wants to know, “something should be done about the practice of delaying the mailing of Christmas cards until the last minute? I've received lots of cards from persons whe haven't writ- ten for ages, and I feel awfully cheap not having sent them one. When I got theirs it was just too late.” Certainly we think it is one of those things about which something should be done, and so does every one else, especially James Aloysius Farley. But just what should it be? * X X ¥ BACHELOR. David and Sheila are brother and sister and the reason for the absence of a family name in this story will become apparent in just @ paragraph or so. They were talking over their childish affairs the other night as they ate their curds and whey, or whatever children eat, when Sheila popped the question: “How is it you never have any girl friends?” “Don’t want any,” David eI- plained. “I'll be darned if I'm ever going to have a wife sitting around home jabbering about money all day.” * x ¥ % SLEEPY SANTA. ‘T COMES to light a little bit be- latedly, perhaps, but it should be said for the record that Santa Claus ran afoul the Silver Spring police. Following & regular custom, & Washington friend of Marshall Davis, who lives in Wynnewood Park, Md., was scheduled to appear at the Davis Kris Kringle. ‘When he failed to arrive on sched- ule the family was somewhat con- cerned, but waited patiently, never- theless. Along about 10:30 p.m. the telephone rang and Marshall an- swered. ‘The voice on the other end of the wire announced: “This is the Silver Spring Police Department. There’s a Santa Claus down here who can’t find your house. He's under the weather, Come and get him.” * x * % WAITING. an would you look for a de- layed dinner guest, young, fe- male, and quite attractive? Sitting on the floor reading a newspaper out- side the door of an alien apartment in one of the largest apartment hotels on Connecticut avenue? It hardly seems likely, but that is where one hostess in Washington found her guest, who did not show up for dinner. In its way, it was logical enough, |too. The guest had been calling on some other friends and thought to pay one more call before keeping her dinner date. The call was in the same building, so she walked upstairs instead of using the elevator. She rang the bell, but no one answered. She felt sure they should be at home, or would be in a few minutes, so when she spied the evening paper, she sat down to read. She was still read- ing when the posse (quite put out by it all) found her some time later. * ¥ ¥ ¥ ® INCIDENT. NEWSPAPER men, traditionally, are not given to embarrassment. Yet to one of Washington's veteran reporters came one of those moments when the face reddens, the palms of the hands grow moist and a fever steals around the neckband, all be- cause of a doll. He had gone to a toy department to inquire, in furtherance of a Christ- mas story, which toys were most in demand. The floor manager told him that one of the most popular of all was the didee doll. He looked puzzled. The floor manager hastened to en- lighten him. “Come this way,” he said, “I will have one of the salesladies give you & demonstration.” " They went to the doll department and the manager called to a very personable young lady. “Will you please demonstrate = didee doll for the gentleman?” he asked. Eager to oblige, the young lady gave the doll a drink out of a bottle, held it out to the reporter. He took i, started violently, blushed, shook & dripping hand, and passed back the doll hurriedly. Calmly, the young lady proceeded to change the doll's clothing for the next demonstration. “That.” muttered the scribe when he had regained his composure, “calls for too much in the way of the ma- ternal instinct.” * ok X TURKEYS.

Bolivia NG _STAR, WASHINGTO! SECRET SERVIGE CHIEF TO RETIRE Successor to W. H. Moran to Be Named This Week by Morgenthau. BY the Associated Press. Willlam H. Moran, veteran chief of the Seeret Service, will retire to pri- vate life Friday after half a century of colorful service in guarding Presi- dents and chas- ing ccunterfeit- ers. Secretary of f t h e, Treasuryj§ Morgenthau, who supervises the Secret Ser vice, said yesterday he will name a suc- cessor to Moran this week. Frank Wilson, former “ace” of the in- telligence unit, Internal Revenue Bureau, has been acting chief for several months, due to Moran’s poor health. Moran is 72. His time in active service has been extended twice. He has had many offers in the past to write his memoirs for publication, but has rejected them. If he should write an autobiography after he retires, Moran said, it will disclose no secrets learned by the ‘White House detail since Secret Serv- ice men were first detailed in 1901 to guard the Chief Executive and his Moran. family after President McKinley was | shot. Until that time the Secret Service, a | Treasury unit, worked solely on coun- | terfeiting cases. A detail of picked Secret Service men is stationed constantly at the White House, and the uniformed po- lice around the mansion are under Moran’s direction. When the President travels an “advance agent” of the Secret Service goes ahead to lay out the route, ar- range for police guards in crowds and make precautions against any possible danger or inconvenience. ‘UNFAIR PRACTICES’ CHARGED TO A. & P.| Violation of Packers and Stock- yards Act Laid to Firm by Wallace. home Christmas eve to impersonate | BY the Assoclated Press The Agriculture Department an- nounced today Secretary Wallace had ordered the Great Atlantic & Pa- cific Tea Co., New Jersey corporation, “to cease and desist from various practices held to be in violation” of the packers and stockyards act. The order, effective February 2, re- sulted from charges that the company engaged in ‘“deceptive and unfair practices” by allowing “an employe to make representation to the effect that he is in the brokerage business when, in fact, he was purchasing meat sup- plies from meat packers for the com- pany’s account.” ‘The department charged C. J. Noell, an A. & P. employe, had collected “l, 2 and 3 per cent commissions” while acting as a meat broker and then turned these commissions over to the company, “deducting only enough to pay his salary and the ex- penses of his office.” It said this was forbidden by the Federal act “as having the effect of | giving unfair advantage to the A. & P. company over its competitors.” The 13-page order said Noell re- ceived “so-called brokerage fees for a period of about 21 months,” which “ex- ceeded office expenses by more than $180,000. and that the A, & P. com- pany received this money without the knowledge of the many packers that supplied the meat.” Wallace overruled the company’s argument that it was not a packer as defined by the Federal act. He found the company “engaged in the business of both manufacturing and preparing meat and meat food products for ship- ment in interstate commerce.” DONATIONS MADE Charity Benefits by Recent Grif- fith Stadium Pageant.

Ford Motors emerged victorious in & brush with the Government today when Acting Controller General El- liott held that its bids were not to be rejected if they involved less than $10,000 of business, even though they contain a qualification to relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for compliance with the Walsh-Healey hours and wage act. The issue was raised by the Sec- retary of the Interior in connection with bids by the Northwest Motor Co., Ford’s Bethesda agent, on some con= tracts totaling approximately $30,000. Stipulation in Bid. In bidding, Northwest had incorpo= rated this stipulation: L “It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the manufacture of the articles described in this contract, where the manu- facturer is a corporation or a person other than the bidder herein, shall in no degree or manner be bound by the terms and conditfons thereof.” Because of this, the Interior Secre- tary wanted to know what action should be taken on these and some other bids which had been similarly qualified. He said: “During the month of November we received several other bids from the Northwest Motor Co., each containing | the statement quoted above. In some cases, the total amount of the bid was less than $10,000 and in some other cases the total amount of the bid was more than $10,000, but the amount on which this bidder was low was less than $10,000. No award has been made in any case to the Northwest Motor Co. where the bid contained the statement referred to and all such cases are being held pending an authoritative decision on this matter.” $10,000 Is Dividing Line. Pointing out that the Walsh-Healey act applies to contracts of only $10,000 or more, Elliott said: “Where contracts awarded are not in excess of $10,000 in amount, there | is no requirement that the statutory | stipulations of the Walsh-Healey act be included in the contract. In such | cases, the stated reservation in the bid of a dealer is superfluous and does not give the bidder any competitive ad- vantage over other bidders or vary the obligations of the contract from those which otherwise would have been in- jcurred. Hence the reservation is wholly immaterial in such cases and provides no basis for the rejection of |ia bid otherwise acceptable.” Elliott, said, however, that the gross bid must be considered in the award of any contract ard that an original figure which would come under the Walsh-Healey act could not be ex- cluded because discounts or trade-in values cut the net bid under $10,000. In a previous decision, Elliott had held that Northwest must be con- sidered as acting for Henry Ford in offering bids for Government business. a g Strike | Homer Martin declared “no local set- tlement will suffice” in the 13-day-old | strike there which union members | satd was called in protest against dis- | charge of a worker at the adjoining Chevrolet plant, where 1,150 are idle.

These restrictions are aimed pri- marily at keeping foreign munitions | and men from reaching the two fac- tions in Spain. Some observers said the fact an American munitions dealer has been given official permission to send war implements to Spain might encourage other nations with greater political stakes in the outcome to do likewise. ‘This, it was held, might easily have a disastrous effect on the European | non-intervention pact. Exports Must Wait Twe Months. Cuse cannot begin exporting his equipment for perhaps two months because of the need for repairs to place his equipment in serviceable condition. Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash- ington, warned that the United States could not hope to stay out of “the next European war unless its citizens were willing to sacrifice their rights to trade and travel on the high seas. Striking at a New York Socialist campaign to enlist 500 Americans to aid the Spanish Loyalist Army, Sen- ator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, ranking minority member of the For- eign Relations Committee, said he be- lieved all such volunteers should be deprived of their citizenship. Chairman Pittman of the committee called enlistment “contrary to the whole theory of neutrality.” Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota said, however, he believed en- listment was “not a serious enough matter” to justify loss of citizenship. Bone, a pioneer advocate of anti- war legislation, said he would seek enactment of a five-point neutrality plan: ~ * 1. Continuation of the present em- bargo on munition sales to warring powers. 2. A modified “cash-and-carry” scheme, permitting shipment of other goods only in the belligerent nations’ own vessels, or in American ships tra- veling at their own risk. 3. A quota system which would allow neutral nations to purchase only “nor- mal” quantities of muntions, thus pre- venting trans-shipment to belligerents. 4. An act forbidding American citi- zens to travel on ships of warring countries, replacing the present law which permits them to travel at their own risk. 5. Laws to prevent wartime profiteer- ing by regulating industry and limit- ing incomes to about $10,000. The “cash-and-carry plan,” he said, ‘would eliminate 90 per cent of the fac- tors tending to draw the United States into & foreign conflict.

By » Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., December 29.— John Bradley, jr, 9, of Gaithers- burg, is in a critical condition at the’ Montgomery County General Hosm-‘ tal today with injuries suffered when an alleged hit-and-run car crashed into his bicycle on the Rockville- Gaithersburg pike last night. Police are holding Clifton Dronen- | burg, 55-year-old veterinarian, of Clarksburg, Md., who is said to have been the operator of the machine, in lieu of $1,500 bond. He is charged with driving while under the influ- ence of liquor, reckless driving and failing to ‘stop after an accident. The boy and his 10-year-old sister, Mary, children of Mr. and Mrs. John Bradley of 18 Park avenue, Gal.thers- burg, were riding bicycles along the road near the farm of Lawson King when a machine struck the former's wheel. Passing motorists took the child to a Rockville physician’s office for first- aid treatment and police later re- moved him to the hospital at Sandy Spring. Garey Bell of Gaithersburg, a wit~ ness to the mishap, told Montgomery County officers he followed the mo- torist for several miles, finally drew alongside the car and told the driver he had struck a child. Bell declared the man expressed surprise and promised to turn back to Rockville at once. Instead, Bell said, he set out again at a rapid rate of speed. Bell then telephoned police and Patrolman Paul Burner, aimed with the tag numbers furnished by Bell, arrested Dronenburg near Mid- dlebrook.

Reports of an administration move- ment to centralize press information Aactivities of the Government were dis- counted today by White House officials. Such a centralization, it was de- clared on high authority, undoubtedly would prove unwieldy and impracti- cable. It was pointed out that the neces- sity for quickly conveying news to the press would prove an insurmountable obstacle to any arrangement for a central press bureau, and the opinion expressed that it would not be con- ducive to maintaining amicable press relations. President Roosevelt recently indi- cated consideration is being given to co-ordinating mimeographing facili- ties of the various Government de= partments, but this plan would affect only reports and other documents not having instant news value. It was said today the President did not have in mind including press releases which have a “time element.” The reports of a program for cen= tralization of press releases apparent ly grew out of the three-way study being made of co-ordination of gove ernmental activities by a presidential commission and by House and Senate committees. ——— e Kidnaping (Continued Prom First Page.) including the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Mattson, were favorable for the crime. Dr. Mattson told newspaper men: “I haven’t made any contacts. Things are just as they were when the man left. There is an absolute stalemate. T just feel helpless.” Makes Trip, Unexplained. Dr. Mattson granted an interview after returning from an unexplained night automobile trip. He left and returned alone, while other members of the family remained in the home. He said he had not inserted any advertisements in Seattle newspapers. A Tacoma police official disclosed such an advertisement was ordered by the kidnaper in the ransom note he left as he fled from the Mattson living room with Charles in his arms. The notice in the want ad columns was to lead to negotiations for payment of the demanded ransom, the official said. Rumors arose in half a dozen places. At Portland, Oreg, Dan Harrison, 87, told police a man about 28 years old, dressed in overalls, a blue blazer and a dark cap, ordered him away from a tan sedan as a small boy slept on the back seat. The man asked him directions to the Columbia River Highway, Harrison sald, and then ore dered him to “beat it.”” No Ad Placed Yet. “I haven't placed any ad,” Mattson told interviewers. “I won't do so until that man tells me to.” Asked if “that man” was a Depart- ment of Justice agent, the doctor smiled. “I don't know what paper the ad will be in when it does appear,” he added. “You see, I'm working with the authorities.” He earlier had asserted: *“As a phy=- sician, I feel it my duty to follow the advice of those who know more about this game than I do.” William Mattson, 16-year-old brothe er of the missing Charles, opened the front door from time to time to look at the crowd of newspaper men and curious onlookers on the street. Family Friends Come and Go. Friends of the family went in and out of the house, usually holding hands over their faces. Once a family aide brought Charles® lonesome Cocker Spaniel puppy to the dooryard and allowed him to be photographed. First clues faded rapidly. Capi Harry Snider of the Washington State Patrol canceled without explanation a “pick-up” order issued yesterday for a 1935 sedan whose driver was ase sertedly wanted for questioning. He said simply the order was ise sued “by mistake.” Reports a second automobile, stolen half an hour before the abduction, might also have been used by the kid- naper were not verified. Hamburger Stand Clue. In Seattle, Irvin York, hamburger stand attendant, told officers a man answering the description of the Mattson kidnaper “to & T" entered the stand Monday morning, gulped & cup of coffee nervously as he read accounts of the kidnaping and hur ried out when other customers en- tered. Police took fingerprints from the coffee cup and saucer. At Washington, D. C., J. Edgar Hoover pledged the “full co-opera= tion” of the Department of Justice in solving the Tacoma disappearance. Hoover declined to say whether he would come to Tacoma to take per- sonal charge of the case. Other sources indicated he probably would not. A Tacoma report said an agent by the name of Connolly, who was here on the George Weyerhaeuser kidnaping, was expected to take charge of the Mattson case soon. That abduction in 1935, ending with release of the victim unharr:>d after payment of $200,000, was the last major one in the Nation until Sunday. G-MEN EXERT ALL ENERGIES. . Case Only Unsolved Kidnaping in Justice Files. Justice Department agents threw all of their energies today into an effort to capture the kidnaper of lit- tle Charles Mattson and maintain their record of solving such crimes. The abduction of the 10-year-old son of a wealthy Tacoma, Wash, physician was the only unsolved kid- naping listed in the department’s files as 1936 drew to a close. The Federal list does not include certain purely local cases in which no Federal law was violated. Toward solving this case and wiping the alate clean, J. Edgar Hoover pledged the “full co-operation” of the Bureau of Investigation, which he heads. Whether he might fly to Tacoma to direct Federal agents working on the case, Hoover de:mfi Other department sources however, he had no such intention at present. Hoover sat foday beside a private telephone wire to the Mattson home in Tacoma, Wash. Aides indicated the Bureau of In= tion chief was devoting almosty entire time to the kidnaping case. Hoover sent word to newsmen he 'wld'mnnonuumentmtgeuu
