C, JULY 25 1937—PART ONE. m One of Four Slain by Mother EARLE DEMANDS WILSON APOLOGY Says Mayor Using Wire-Tap Charges as Springboard for | Political Ambition, By the Arsociated Press. PHILADELPHIA. July 24.—Charg- Ing Mayor 8. Davis Wilson was using the incident “as a springboard for his own political ambitions,” Gov. George | H. Earle tonight demanded an apology from Wilson for a statement the Gov- ernor was “unquestionably responsible” for the alleged tapping of telephone wires to the home of Wilson's secretary. Wilson, announcing at the same time he would run for Governor of Pennsyl- vania next yvear in defiance of at- tempts “to assassinate my character,” | made his charges at a hearing in which | he held a State motor policeman in | $5.000 bail on a charge of tapping tele- phone wires of Louis E. Wilgarde, sec- | retary to the Mayor FPoints to Committee Activity. The Mavor declared the policeman. ‘Wallace F. Ely. had been working for the Senate Committee headed by Sen- ator Frank Ruth, investigating the Pennsylvania courts Earle said “documentary evidence obtained by Mavor Wilson shows con- clusively that the policeman involved was acting solely as an investigator for the (Ruth) commission “This was confirmed by the police- man’s own statement “In view of these circumstances, I cannot understand why Mayor Wilson | made his unfounded charges that I s Governor, was responsible in even | the slightest degree for the activities of this policeman. “Mayor Wilson knew his charge was untrue when he made it and I demand an apology for his totally unjustified statement. | “He has chosen to use as a spring- | board for his own political ambitions | the action of an investigator of a | legislative committee.” Wilson said. after reading a state- ment bv Edward W. Prendergast. Earle's secretary, to the effect that Earle knew nothing of detailed ac- tivities of the Ruth Committee, that “I am glad to learn the Governor had nothing to do with it. I eouldn't believe he would be guilty of such | @ thing.” ‘ Says Criticism Misplaced. Chet A. Keyes, counsel for the Ruth | Committee, said “If there is to be| any criticism of our methods, that | eriticism should be directed at the | mMembers or me, not at the Governor | or other individuals who have no | connection with the commission. . . . “I am greatly surprised at the fuss that is being created in the newspa- pers over the revelation that an in- vestigating bodv shouid resort to wire- tapping, a device commonly emploved 21l over the country by duly author- ized law-enforcement agencies.” Mayor Wilson, Republican, who took office in January, 1936, for a four- | Year term, said at the policeman's hearing: { “1 have repeatedly said I did nbt intend to run for Governor or any | other office and I hoped I would not | have to. But now it is necessary. “I do not know what ticket I will run on, but I will be the people's | candidate.” foma GERMANY GUARDS ORE | Government Unit Will Take| Hand in Working Mines.

This bill is expected to go through tomorrow, while that which was the chief target of Martin's blast probably will be re- ported by a special subcommittee Wed- nesday. Martin, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, emphasized that “public hearings have been denied many opponents of this bill.” He held that President Roosevelt's recom- mendation for a one-man civil gervice administration to replace the existing bipartisan commission would place the entire Federal machine of 840,000 em- ployes “under the personal patronage of the President and his jobmaster general, looking forward to the 1938 congressional elections.” Expressing the organized opposition of the Republican minority, Martin said that “in an effort to drive this destructive scheme of political mo- bilization through in the last days of the session, the White House is bring- ing extraordinary pressure to bear Insisted that the bill' the President seeks. “in the name of civil service reform. to establish the last essential instrument of unbridled political spoilsmanship " Before issuing his statement, Mar- tin conferred with Representative Ta- ber of New York. who is prepared to denounce in the House tomorrow the bill providing for the six additional administrative assistants and, ! | Representative Gifford of Massachu- | setts, ranking Republican on the E: | penditures Committee.

The | old masters and the modernists alike would be “flops” at making dioramas. “The trick.” he explained, “is to unify the foreground and the back- ground, to make people stand in front of the exhibit and argue about where solid objects end and painting begins, to confuse the human eye into think- -‘mz it looks out over valleys and | mountains. | “The effect of stark realism a mannerism is doomed, for he can- not make his backdrop harmonize with the real objects near the eye.” Diorama Is New Art. | The dijorama is & new and Mac- | s the organ in music.

Mackenzie believes that the first real one, a small bird group, was produced in the South Kensington museum half a century ago. It is probably derived from the panorama, or cyclorama, which was invented by Robert Barker of Edinburgh in 1788.
