J, May 18.—The outbreak of the disastrous Hindenbu:g fire was definitely placed today inside gas cell No. 4 in her stern by a member of the crew who had all five tail gas eells in his line of vision when the Arst explosion occurred. A brilliant light appeared inside the No. 4 cell simultaneous with the ex- plosion, said the witness, Helmut Lau, 8 helmsman who was at his landing * station in the lower vertical fin at the start of the disaster. A short time after the bright re- Bection appeared, Lau told the De- + Board, he saw fire inside the forward | bulkhead of the cell and then flames became visible on its outer surface. Explosion Believed on Top. The explosive sound, he testified | Bater, was, in his opinion, the gas cell bursting at the top. He was 20 yards €rom the fire, he said. Dennis Mulligan, a member of the board, commented: “He seems to be the individual who first saw the origin of the fire.” Lau, who a5 helmsman had charge ballast, gas valves. engine teleg-| raphy and water pumping installa- tions, gave this vivid, matter-of-fact wcecount: “I was facing port when I heard ! muffled explosion, and saw inside | he gas cell a bright reflection. It was | on the front bulkhead of cell No. 4. Reflection From Inside. “The first fire I saw was on the front side of cell 4. The bright reflec- tion was from the inside. | “It was red and yellow. There was | smoke in it. The cell did not burst. &t suddenly disappeared from the heat. “The flame became very bright, and She fire rose up to the top, more to the wtarboard.

Max Pruss and his chief officer, | Capt. Albert Sammt, will be able to | tell their stories of the destruction of | the Hindenburg before the investigat- | #ng board. That was the word reaching the | board today from William von Meis- | ser, vice president of the American | eppelin Co., agents for the German dine. Both officers, horribly burned in &he disaster at Lakehurst May 6. are -in Medical Center Hospital, New York, v mnd are in no condition to be inter- wiewed or to give depositions, Von Meister reported. Pruss, in particu- 1ar, he said, becomes “very excited” when questioned about the destruction | of the huge ship with a loss of 36 | Jives. The investigating board looks to these officers to learn what happened | in the Hindenburg's control car when | the flames broke out in the ship's tail.

Van Devanter (Contint m First Page.) Comment (Continued From Pirst Page.) next following the adjournment of the present term of the court. “I have the honor to remain, very respectfully yours, *(Signed) WILLIS VAN DEVANTER. “The President.” ‘The act to which the justice referred permits justices over 70 to retire at full pay—$20,000 annually. Has Served on Court Sinoce 1911. Van Devanter has been a member of the court since 1911. Considered a conservative by the administration, his departure from the bench will give President Roosevelt an oppor- tunity to select a successor—his first appointment to the bench. There was instant speculation on | Capitol Hill over the effect Van De- vanter’s action would have on the court fight. Administration leaders, however, awaited word from the White House. The Oliver Wendell Holmes resigned in 1932 after serving 30 years. He was succeeded by Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. Until the beginning of the present term of court last October, Van De- vanter had voted against administra- tion action or laws 12 times and for it once in litigation before the tri- | The sole exception was the | Tennessee Valley Authority ocontro- versy and the decision did not involve constitutionality of the act. Opposed Wagner Act’s Application. | This term, however, he voted in line | with the administration nine times | and against it three times. Two of | the three votes were against appli- cation of the Wagner labor relations | act to the Associated Press and to manufacturing concerns. The other | was against the administration’s con- tention that the congressional resolu- tion abrogating payment of obliga- tions in gold applied to bullion as| well as to coin. If a justice whose views were those of administration lawyers had been on the bench instead of Van Devanter since Mr. Roosevelt was inaugurated in 1933, it would have changed the out- come of only three major cases. These involved the New York law establishing minimum wages for | women, the railway pension act and the municipal bankruptcy statute—all 5-to-4 decisions. The court has since reversed itself and upheld a Washing- ton State law fixing women’s minimum wages. Plans also are under way for & revised railway pension measure. Only 14 justices in the history of the Nation have surpassed Van De- vanter in length of service on the high court. He was a member of the tri- bunal for 26 years. The record of 34 | years was established by Justice Field, | who served from 1863 to 1897. The famed Chief Justice John Marshall, who died in 1835, was beaten by a few months. Despite his age, Van Devanter ap- peared to be in excellent health. He delighted in tramping over a farm he recently bought in Maryland. And he went duck hunting as often as he Failed to Obtain License. Only a few months ago he received considerable public attention as a result of his failure to obtain a $1 hunting license stamp before biasing away at the canvasbacks along the Potomac River in Virginia. He was accosted by a game warden, who asked to see the stamp. The Justice admitted he had none, and pleaded ignorance of the law. After Rev. Ze Barney Phillips, chaplain of the Senate, had revealed Van De- vanter’s identity the warden departed chuckling. A stamp immediately was Pprocured. Earlier he attracted attention by his refusal to accept benefit payments under the agricultural adjustment act, which he helped to hold unconstitu- tional. His wife, who died in 1934, had owned several Montana wheat farms operaled by tenants. When the Justice received the A. A. A. benefit payments he promptly returned the money. “Because I voted for the invalida- tion of A. A. A.” he explained, “I do not feel I could accept the checks.” _Served Three Chief Justices. Van Devanter served under three Chief Justices— White, Taft and Hughes. Friends said it was the el- derly jurist’s intention to make him- self available for service on assign- retirement created the first vacancy on the court since 91-year-old tremendous long-range effect on the measure. Other comment follows: Senator McCarran of Nevada: “My wish perhaps is father to the thought, but I hope the retirement of Justice Van Devanter will prompt the immedi- ate withdrawal of this court bill by the President.” Senator Burke of Nebraska: “It is hard to kill a corpse. The court bill has been dead for weeks. Therefore, I do not believe that the retirement | of Justice Van Devanter will have any | particular effect.” Senator King of Utah: “Justice Van Devanter would not have resigned had it not been for the situation created by the President's court bill.” Senator King peid a high tribute to Justice Van Devanter's character and ability. Senator Van Nuys of Indiana: “I think Justice Van Devanter retired it,o preserve the court.” Comment of Austin. | | Senator Austin of Vermont: “It is & glorious thing for a man of his age to step off the court in full mental vigor. His retirement will have no effect on the court bill. The inde- pendence of the Senate is involved in this issue as deeply as that of the oourt.” Senator McGill of Kansas said he thought the retirement would have no influence on the course of the bill. Senator Hughes of Delaware also said he thought the retirement would have little effect, unless it made it possible to bring about a compromise. He said that he was for a compro- mise or the President’s bill. Senator Hatch of New Mexico: “I was some- what surprised by the retirement. It could not have any strengthening ef- fect on the bill as originally proposed by the President. In fact, the retire- ment will just have the reverse effect.” Speaker Bankhead said he doubted it would have “any material effect” on the President’s plan. “It appears to me the present atti- tude of the President to go forward with the court plan,” he said. “is not based on any such contingency. He is fighting for the larger principle of fresh blood in che court.” Withdrawal ef Bill Urged. Wheeler, reached by telephone in his office, said: “The President ought to withdraw the court bill immediately. There is | absolutely no excuse whatever for going ahead with his fight, because the administration's measures will no longer be subject to one justice's opin- fon. If the bill is withdrawn, I am certain that within the course of time | there will be other retirements from | the bench. | “In short, this retirement demon- strates the utter foolishness of the | proposal to pack the court. | “However, I do not think the Pres- ident will withdraw the bill, because the administration wants a court which is completely subservient to them. I predict that the administra- tion will go ahead with the fight, but it won't get anywhere. The bill is ab- solutely dead.” Sees No Effect on Outcome. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, said the retirement would have To effect on the outcome of the Judi- clary Committee’s voting because “the lines are already drawn.” In Cleveland, Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War, said that Justice Van Devanter has been one of the most eminent and distinguished members of the court in my iife- | time.” | “In industry and learning and loyalty, I know of no member of the court who has rendered more dis- tinguished service,” Baker said. —_— delivered last January 11 holding con- atitutional a 50 per cent tax on profits made by silver traders before enact- ment of the 1934 law increasing Treas- ury purchases of the metal. He wrote the dissenting opinion in behalf of himself and Justices McReynolds, Sutherland and Butler opposing the court’s decision on April 26 setting aside the conviction of Angelo Hern- don, Cincinnati colored Communist organizer, under a Georgia anti- reconstruction law enacted in recon- struction days. Arduous service in the Republican party and energetic years as a lawyer carried him to the Supreme Court by ment by Chief Justice Hughes to one of the Circuit Courts of Appeal. He was expected by intimates to spend most of his time on his 788-acre farm * | near Baltimore. The justice was considered the court’s authority on Federal jurisdic- tion, public lands and water rights. 1 | Whenever a case involving those ques- tions was under argument, he took & leading part in questioning the attor- neys. His questions were searching and directly to the point of the con- troversy. He sat at the right of Chief Justice Hughes. During recent years he wrote fewer opinions than any other justice. He delivered only one opinion during the term ending in June, 1935, and only two the following year. He wrote none during the 1936-7 term. He prepared the unanimous cplm; appointment of President Taft. Three other Presidents appointed him to high offices: Harrison named him chief justice of the Wyoming Supreme Court be- fore it became a State. He was then 30. He was elected to continue in that position after it was admitted to the Union. Named to Federal Post. McKinley appointed him as an Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt made him a judge of the Circuit Court Of Appeals in 1903. He continued in that post until he was elevated to the Bupreme Court. In 1396 he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention and & member of the Republican National Committes : & |~} | President Roosevelt's first term as a HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, 13 ARE MENTIONE FOR SEAT ON COURT Frankiurter, Jackson, Lan- dis, Richberg, a Woman Are Possibilities. By the Associated Pre: Capital speculation over a Supreme Court successor to retiring Justice Wil- lis Van Devanter included today a host of Government officials. There was no official indication, however, that the President had chosen a nominee, although some said Mr. Roosevelt probably would submit a name to the Senate before Congress adjourns. Under the law there is no require- ment that & lawyer be named.to the tribunal. Officials said it would be possible for the President to select a leading economist for a place on the court. There also was speculation as to whether he might name a woman to the bench. Some observers mentioned the name of Judge Florence E. Allen of Cleveland, a member of the Sixth Cir- cuit Court of Appeals. Others Mentioned. Others prominently discussed in con- nection with the nomination included: Robert H. Jackson, 45-year-old As- sistant Attorney General, one of the attorneys who represented the Gov- ernment in arguments before the Su- preme Court on constitutionality of the social security act. He also was a leading spokesman for the Govern- ment before the Senate Judiciary Committee on behalf of the Roosevelt proposal to reorganize the court by adding as many as six new justices in the event those over 70 did not retire. Felix Prankfurter, Harvard Law School professor, who has advised the administration on its legislative pro- gram. Donald Richberg, former head of the National Recovery Administration and long a leading labor attorney. He now is engaged in private law prac- tice here. James M. Landis, 38, chairman of the Securities Commission and newly designated dean of Harvard Law School. He has aided in drafting a number of New Deal laws. Murphy Listed. Attorney General Cummings and | Solicitor General Stanley Reed. Frank Murphy, former Governor General of the Philippines and now Governor of Michigan. Samuel Rosenman, Ferdinand Pecora and Learned Hand of New York courts. Pecora was a former mem- ber of the Securities Commission and was attorney for the Senate commit- tee which investigated Wall Street practices. Rosenman was counsel to Mr. Roosevelt when he was Governor of New York. Government attorneys said there Was some question whether a member of Congress would be eligible for ap- pointment to the court because of the recent legislation permitting justices to retire at full pay and still be eligible for service if needed. Congressmen Ineligible? Bection 6 of the first article of the Constitution says: “No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elect~ ed, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States which shall have been created or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.” Some lawyers expressed the view that the retirement act, which became law March 1, granting justices over 70 the right to retire at full pay might be construed as an increase in ‘“emolu- ments” of the office. Nevertheless, among those mentioned in corridor discussions were: Senator Robert F. Wagner, New York Democrat, who has taken a leading part in pushing administration legislation through Congress. He is best known in connection with the Wagner labor relations act, which re- cently was upheld by the tribunal. His principal interest has been social leg- islation. Before coming to the Senate he was a judge in New York. Robinson Prominent. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar- kansas, the Democratic leader, who has piloted Roosevelt laws through the Senate, is reported to be ambitious for a seat on the Supreme Court. Landis is one of the original New | Dealers, serving at the beginning of | ’ member of the Federal Trade Com- mission. He became chairman of the Securities Commission after Joseph P. Kennedy of New York resigned. Jackson first entered the Roosevelt administration as general counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau in 1934. He was promoted last year to Assistant Attorney General. $25,000 SUIT FILED Mother of Philip Cole, 8, Asks Sum After Truck Accident.

C, TUESDAY, State Will Issue Stamps for Tax On Legal Papers Maryland Will Send Out Five Colors and Denominations. By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 18.—Attor- neys and others recording legal papers in Maryland courts after June 1 will be required to purchase and attach stamps as a recordation tax, under plans of William 8. Gordy, jr., State controller. The special session of the Legisla- ture, as part of the rellef revenue raising program, levied a tax of 10 cents a $100 value of every paper re- corded in the courts. The tax applies to mechanics’ liens, deeds, mortgages, except purchase money mortgages; chattel mortgages, bills of sale, conditional contracts of sale, leases, confessed judgments, mag- istrates’ judgments, crop liens, deeds of trust, and all other written instru~ ments which create liens on real or personal property. The stamps will be printed in five different colors, & color for each de- nomination. There will be 10 cent, 20 cent, 50 cent, $1 and $2 stamps. Vice (Continued From First Page.) questioning of prisoners and examina- tion of evidence collected by his agents have disclosed a “rotten vice situation™ in Baltimore. “We intend to go to the bottom of this situation, regardless of whom it hits,” Hoover declared today. “We will present to the grand jury all evidence having any material connection with the investigation. It will be up to the grand jury to decide about indict- ments.” It was revealed that in one of the disorderly houses was found an auto- graphed photograph of a man in Bal- timore official life. This man was ob- served driving up to one of the houses while G-men were conducting a raid inside, but he quickly drove off when he saw that something was wrong. Several of the prisoners were indig- nant over the raids, claiming they had thought they were “protected,” it was reported. One of the girls taken by the agents | had secreted a $100 bill in her slipper. | 8he had just “lifted” it from a “cus- tomer,” officials explained. Some of the girls, it was found, frequently answered calls to entertain “clients” in Annapolis. One girl, of advanced age but with & childlike countenance, was in the habit of posing as a 16-year-old novice in vice. Her employed demanded a fee of $100 for sending her out on calls. The Baltimore raids were the latest in a series that have struck a stag- gering blow to the white slave racket in the East. Scores of convictions have been obtained in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey during the last few months. MAY 18, 19317. 200 AMERICANS KILLED IN SPAIN Lincoln Battalion Volunteers in Thickest Fighting as Volunteers. By the Associated Press. MADRID, May 18.—American vol- unteer battalions, used continually as government shock troops in the Span- ish civil war, were estimated today to have lost almost & third of their num- ber in death. Reliable sources placed the number of United States citizens killed while fighting on the government side at more than 500, or 30 per cent of the 1,700 reported to have enlisted since the conflict started. A few of the volunteers were pro- fessional air pilots and technicians, and a few were soldiers of fortune, but the overwhelming majority lacked previous military experience. The largest contingent of Ameri- cans in the service of the republic has been the 16th Infantry, or Abra- ham Lincoln battalion, which went Jarama River, south of Madrid. First Two Weeks Tragic. Only two weeks later, according to one member of the outfit, 147 men out of the 487 had been lost and many others incapacitated by wounds and sickness. Fifty of the slain were buried al- | most where they fell near Tarancon, | soldiers of the battalion said. The first commander of the bat- talion was an ex-sea captain. He was succeeded by a former instructor of economics in an American uni- versity who was wounded in the Jarama fighting. Then a man claiming to have served in the United States Army took over { command of the Lincoln battalion. Members of the unit said their United States passports were taken up by the defense command when they went into service and passports of | dead Americans are thought to be still | held by the authorities. 1 Identities Concealed. | Most of the Americans fight under | assumed names, with even the com- | manders guarding their identities.
