Judge Fer- guson, whose one-man grand jury previously had indicted McCrea and 14 others for “protecting a $1,000,000 baseball lottery, accused McCrea on fresh counts in his petition. Shakedowns Charged. The judge charged that McCrea, through an underworld figure, had drawn thousands of dollars a month from Bagnios, bookies and slot-ma- chine agents. He said there had been shake-downs of disorderly houses “periodically.” Systematic collections of $100 to $300 a month from vice resorts and $10 monthly from slot machine operators, as well as permitting operation of a $1,000,~ 000-a-month numbers game were charged. “These dives,” Judge Ferguson said, “would be forced to close by the prosecuting attorney and other pub- lic officials working in collusion with him in order to extort larger sums of protection money for either the said prosecuting attorney or other public officials.” Prosecutor McCrea, who yesterday had announced his candidacy for the Senate with the quip “the publicity will help my campaign,” denied the charges and defled Judge Ferguson to prove them. “I welcome any proceedings that A | the Governor may institute,” he said, “because it will afford me the op- portunity, for the first time, to be confronted with my accusers un- der oath. McCrea, a Democrat, and Chester P. O'Hara, a Republican, special prosecutor for the grand jury that indicted him, have been at logger- heads for several years. Today Mr. O'Hara insisted that McCrea be fingerprinted and subjected to the same registration as any defend- ant in a criminal case. “All right, Chet,” said McCrea. “but before this is over it will be | quite a wrestling match and you had better get a good hold.” Details of the Feud. McCrea and O'Hara were oppo- nents six years ago in the election | for prosecuting attorney. McCrea won, but Mr. O'Hara became an assistant State attorney general and conducted a grand jury inquiry | of a vote recount. Several Demo- | crats were convicted and sent to prison. McCrea won the next round when | he took over prosecution of the sen- sational “Black Legion” cases, which Mr. O'Hara had sought to direct.

P. Commitiee Soon House Minority Leader Martin soon will resign as member of the Republican National Committee, is understood here. He is expected | to issue a statement declaring his| intention over the week end. Representative Martin in recent weeks has been more and more | prominently mentioned as a possible | Repubhcan nominee for President. His retirement from the party's national committee, however, is understood to be desired so he can give his time more and more to his congressional duties as minority leader. As a member of the na- | > | tional committee, he has been called | frequently from Washington to Massachusetts during the session of | In a campaign year his duties as a member of the national committee, which is to make all ar- ! rangements for the national conven- tion June 24, would be increasingly | heavy. The Republican State Committee in Massachusetts will name a suc- cessor to Mr. Martin as national committeeman. Sinclair Weeks, son | of the late Secretary of War John W. | Weeks, already is being mentioned for the post. Mr. Martin's success as minority leader has won him national ac- claim. He will be a candidate to succeed himself in the House, and if the Republicans should elect a majority of the House in November, he probably would be elected Speaker. {Is Nearly Trapped in Ice By one hour, the flagship Bear of the Antarctic Service missed be- ing trapped and frozen fast when she | penetrated to the farthest point South, ever reached by an American ship in the Pacific Quadrant, the Navy Department has announced. The Bear, in establishing the new | American record Wednesday went 37 miles south of the 70th parallel, which was 35 miles deeper than Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd got in 1934 on the Jacob Ruppert. “There the Bear ran into trouble,” the expedition radioed the depart- ment. “Turned back by solid pack, icebergs and poor visibility, she found retreat virtually impossible. As far as one could see from the crows nest lay a billowing ice-sheet.” In breaking out of the fast-setting trap, set by the wind, the ship worked slowly through the ice field | in a tortuous channel, or carved a new one whenever necessary. ‘The report added: “Several times when the Bear was brought to a sudden jarring stop, she had to back astern and ram the floes. Slush was forming between the ice cakes by the time the Bear shook hersel free of the pack,” Ice Pilot Bendik Johannsen voiced the belief that if the vessel had remained in the ice one more hour she might have been caught and frozen fast.

"Movie Cowboy Slain, ° \Another Is Held in Real-Life Drama ‘l Fed Him for Years, Says Prisoner, Telling | HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 24 —Near the boys played a deadly drama, and when the curtain rang down one lay in the morgue and the other was jailed as a murder sus- | pect. | The cast | enacted yesterday, was headed by John Tvke, 45-year-old cowboy bit | player, slain, and Jerome B. (Black- jack) Ward, also of the Westerns, jailed. The “scenario” evoked only mild interest as Ward blasted away with | his six-shooter. It took a moment for bystanders to realize this was | not a movie rehearsal. Tells of Helping Tyke. True to his horse opera colors, Detective Lts. J. R. Stephens and ‘W. A.

When he tried to get in, I shot at him once through the wind- shield.” As Tyke ran across a parking lot, the detectives said, Ward pursued, firing his 45 Colt. Ward then jumped into his car and sped away. ‘When he was cornered two blocks away by two radio police officers who gave chase, the officers said | hammer in true frontier style. | The gun was empty and Ward | was captured. Won't Contest Nomination 0f Jones, Long Says By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 24—Gov. Earl Long told questioners yesterday he did not intend to contest the Democratic nomination of Sam Houston Jones, Lake Charles at- torney who defeated him in last Tuesday’s runoff primary. In a hoarse voice he gave report- ers this statement, his first since the smashing of his political ma- chine. “I don't owe the newspapers a thing. I wish the newspapers would leave me alone. I would like for you to use that as a statement from me.” The official figures, with 19 of the State’s 1,703 precincts missing, gave Mr. Jones a majority of 19,527 votes, or 281,462 to 261935 for Gov. Long. Gov. Long denied he was seeking the office of secretary of State, made vacant by death. Mrs. Oscar P. Anderson Dies at Mount Rainier Mrs. Edith Pearl Anderson, 57, wife of Oscar P.

Officials Help Form Body to Further | Collective Bargaining Carmody, Leiserson and Biddle Sponsor Group To Perfect Techniques By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Collective ,Bnrgnlning Associates, non-profit membership society, has been | formed to promote and extend the field of such bargaining. Its sponsors—32 educators, econ- omists and industrial engineers, in- cluding Federal Works Adminis- trator John M. Carmody—were described as “technicians without a direct stake in the matters at issue.” Major objectives are to supply | recognized rules for bargaining and | discover techniques which will “de- velop the true strength in the posi- | tion of both sides in discussions as | to wages and hours and similar | matters.” “An agency such as Collective Bar- | }gammg Associates may be helpful | |in bringing about a type of co- ‘ operation in industry which will not | only be to the interest of the em-‘, ployers and employes, but to the | whole social body,” the announce- | | ment said. Morris L. Cooke, Philadelphia con- | sulting engineer and writer, said the | organization would ‘be financed by | its members. Other sponsors include Solicitor General Francis Biddle, William M. | Leiserson, National Labor Relations Board member; Otto S. Beyer, chair- man of the Railway Mediation | Board; Robert W. Bruere, chairman | of the Maritime Labor Board, and | Mr. Cooke. Mr. Cooke said the rules governing collective agreements had grown so much that a scientific society was necessary to bring them together and set them forth in a manner to produce the best co-operation be- tween management and labor. The organization, he said, will aim to supplement National Labor Rela- | tions Act by codifying the “best practices” of collective bargaining and suggesting improvements where possible.

Marshall Plea Impending Chief of Staff Tells House Subcommittee $921,000,000 Is Needed B the Asioclated Press. Members of a House Appropria: tions subcommittee whetted the economy knife for use on the Army’s $921,137,254 budget today, although Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, told them that the serious- ness of world conditions made the huge outlay essential. Gen. Marshall testified yesterday at the beginning of secret hearings on the War Department’s appropri- ation for the fiscal year beginning July 1, Bi-partisan sentiment developed within the committee for trimming the bill wherever possible in con- formity with the current economy drive. House Slashed Navy. ‘The House recently slashed $112,- 000,000 from the Navy's estimates, holding that service's appropriation for next year to about $966.000,000. Congress already has granted the Army $109,416,000 this session, chiefly for expansion and training of its forces in accordance with the President’s proclamation of a lim- ited emergency. Chairman Sheppard of the Sen- ate Military Affairs' Committee dis- closed today that Mr. Roosevelt, on the ground of economy, had ad- vised that action be deferred on a War Department plea that soldiers’ pay be raised. Secretary Woodring, reporting to the committee that a proposed in- crease was not in accord with the administration’s financial program, nevertheless renewed a recommen- dation that soldiers receive as much | as sailors and that various other “inequalities” be corrected. Naval Pay Is Higher. The average naval enlisted man | is paid almost twice as much as the average soldier, official records| show. To bridge the gap in only the | lowest grades would add upwards of | $10,000,000 to the War Department'’s budget estimates. Both Army and Navy recruits re- ceive $21 a month, but sailors are advanced to $30 as soon as their| initial training is completed. Sol-| diers must serve from one to three! years or even more before they are given a raise, Secretary Woodring noted. He contended that the “inequality” of privates’ pay should be corrected before any increases were given officers. Funds for the increases are not | included in the pending appropria- tion bill | Death of Retired Dentist | Is Declared Suicide A certificate of suicide was issued today in the death of Dr. Josiah B.

Reports circulated here today that Dean Acheson, former Undersecre- tary of the Treasury, likely would be one of the trustees for the bil- lion-dollar Associated Gas & Elec- tric utility system. ‘The vast system, once headed by Howard C. Hopson, went into bankruptey January 10, and the se- lection of trustees is now before Federal Judge Vincent L. Leibell in New York. Speculation over who will get the appointments has centered largely on John W. Hanes, like Mr. Ache- son a former Undersecretary of the ‘Treasury. Mention of Mr. Hanes has drawn criticism from several im- portant New Deal sources. Mr. Hanes still is regarded as & possible selection, but as one of four to be chosen rather than as a single trustee. Some persons said the plan is to have one trustee for Associated Gas & Electric Co., which is the top unit in the system, and three trus- tees for Associated Gas & Electric Corp., which is the underlying unit | and far more important in the op- eration of the vast system. Whereas A. G. &. E. Co. obtained all of its income through A. G. & E. "Corp.. the latter company’s holdings reached into many subsidiaries, both operating and holding companies. Mr. Acheson is looked on favor- ably by some of those who have ob- Jected to Mr. Hanes. He now is practicing law here. Others mentioned for the trustees jobs include Abe Fortas, general counsel for the Bituminous Coal Commission and formerly a legal aide to the S. E. C.; James A. Beha, | & New York lawyer, who was a New York State insurance commissioner under former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, | and John E. Mack, New York law=- yer. Hanes Reported Unwilling To Accept Appointment NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (.—The Wall Street Journal says John W. Hanes, former Undersecretary of the Treasury, has advised Federal Judge Vincent L. Leibell that he will | not accept appointment as a trustee of Associated Gas & Electric Co. Mr. Hanes had been mentioned frequently as a possible appointee to such a post. The Securities and Exchange Commission previously had advised the judge it would not undertake the task. ‘The possibility that Mr. Hanes might be named to administer the billion-dollar utilities concern so arcused Senator Norris that he twice protested and condemned such an appointment. In his latest attack he said in view of Mr. Hanes' background as an investment banker and his Wall | Street connections, his appointment “would be not only shocking to the | public, but would constitute a plain violation of the spirit if not the letter of the Constitution.” Gibson T.
