In Secret Session 0f Dies Probers Questioning Arranged After He Refuses to Talk Publicly B3 the Associated Press. ‘The House Committee Investigat- ing Un-American Activities listened to Nicholas Dozenberg in secret se: sion today after the one-time Com- munist leader protested he would not talk publicly of his possible connection with the Soviet govern- ment, “no matter what you do to me.” Chairman Dies agreed to the ex- ecutive session after the witness, under Federal sentence of a year and a day for passport fraud, said he would talk freely in private. Representative Dies asked Dozen- berg if he had not disassociated himself from the Communist party and knew that their work in this country was dangerous to the United States and whether the winess wanted. to “protect” this country. “Yes, and I want to protect my- self, t0o,” Dozenberg said quickly. Previously Dozenberd had denied during questioning by J. B. Matthews, committee investigator, that he had the role of agitator in the bloody Herrin (Ill) massacre during a coal miners’ strike in 1922. Dozenberg said he had “absolutely nothing” to do with that, after the investigator read to him excerpts from an article prepared for John L. Lewis and printed as a public document in which reference was made to “Dozenberg’s men” arous- ing the unionists at Herrin, Texas Launches Drive On Un-Americanism By the Associated Press. MINERAL WELLS, Tex., May 21. ~—Some 6,000,000 Texans may be- come amateur detectives to seek out un-Americanism in this State under a plan advanced by Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel. He said he had confidential re- ports of un-American activities and said he would appreciate any in- formation the citizens can give him concerning specific cases. Gov. O'Daniel, who often goes to the people with his problems, said State officials would confer with Federal authorities in Washington. He choose the meeting of the South- ern Newspaper Publishers’ Associa- tion to make his startling announce- ment yesterday.

The Dempseys have announced a separation. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—After seven years of married life, Jack Demp- sey and his wife, the former Han- nah Williams, have agreed to & parting of ways The romance, often called one of Broadway’s happiest, was termi- nated officially yesterday with a for- mal announcement of separation by Moses Polakoff, Mrs. Dempsey’s at- torney, who gave “incompatability” as the reason for the breakup. There was no mention of a divorce, although a formal separation nor- mally precedes such action. Miss Williams, one-time musical comedy star, is anxious to go back to the stage. The Dempseys have two children —Joan, 5, and Barbara, 3. Mr. Polakoff said affairs were being adjusted “amicably” and that all arrangements would be completed next week when the former heavy- weight champion returns to New York from a business trip. Both have been married three times. In the seven years since her mar- riage to Mr. Dempsey in Elko, Nev., shortly after her divorce from Roger Wolfe Kahn, Mrs. Dempsey had made no public appearance except for a two-week period in the musical “Hooray for What” and perhaps two or three microphone talks with her husband. P Miss Williams, who for years had seemed content to leave the spot- light for good, once remarked that her, hopes were centered about the l;;!dbfllty of bringing up four chil- en. Mr. Dempsey himself now has wide business interests. His first two marriages—both end- ing in divorce—were to Maxine Wayne and Estelle Taylor, the ac- Emergency Defense Table The extent to which the Army’s supply of critical items will be in- creased upon completion of the pending program is shown by the following table in the Senate hearings on the enlarged Army supply bill, The money appropriated for fiscal year 1940, amounts contained in 1941 estimates, and amounts contained in the new emergency estimates (President’s message) will complete the program for critical items.

LONDON, May 21.—The Air Min« istry called today for more men of 30 to 45 “for duties with the balloon barrage,” the system of balloons at- tached to steel cables by witich & defensive cordon has been placed around London and other cities and along Britain’s coasts. 2 *| cle had Alien Surveillance Urged by Overion InTalkfo S. A. R. Drastic Immigration Laws Are Demanded - By Gen. Fries Registration and surveillance of every alien in the United States should be made mandatory imme- diately by Congress, Senator Over- ton, Democrat, of Loulsiana, today told the Sons of the American Revo- lution meeting at their 51st annual congress, This is & “most necessary” step in American preparedness, he declared, after outlining the downfall of the Low Countries and Scandinavia through fifth columnists. He urged that the 8. A. R. adopt resolutions recommending that Congress pass such laws immediately. Senator Overton, member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and the 8. A. R. also, declared the defense bill reported out “does not provide absolute security under every circumstance,” but the funds recommended “do provide for money that can be spent next year.” Preparedness Urged. The 8. A. R. and all other patriotic organizations, he said at the Ward- man Park Hotel, should see to it that the United States avolds war, but is prepared to meet war if in- volved. He also urged that they work for the overthrow of subversive influences in America, Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, retired, of Washington, World War chief of the Chemical Warfare Service, urged immediate passage of “dras- tic” immigration laws to end the menace in the United States from subversive influences, “All of our tremendous efforts for national defense may be utterly ruined or very seriously hampered if this policy of coddling and pro- tecting alien criminals and per- miting tens of thousands of aliens to come into the United States legally or illegally, is not terminated at once and drastic laws passed and enforced which will enable criminal and foreign minded aliens to be de- ported and others to be rounded up, fingerprinted and registered so that they can be kept track of day and night.” Would Deport Russell. Foreign elements have gained control of many parts of the educa- tional system, particularly in the writing of school texts, Gen. Fries, chairman of the 8. A. R’s Immi- gration Committee, declared. Ber- trand Russell, British philosopher who recently was refused a position at the City College of New York, should be deported along with many others now in this country, he said. “A great many of these educators,” he said, “are preaching collectivism, which at its best is national Social- ism and at its worst Communism. “Self-preservation is not only the first 1aw of nature, but is the first law of common sense. We must protect our Nation. If we lose it we lose everything, and the citizens come first. All soft-hearted, sob- sister stuff must be thrown to the winds' ‘when - national ‘safety’ is in danger.” The organization today heard re- ports from chairmen of the national committees. Wives of members will be recejved at a tea by Mrs. Henry M. Robert, jr., president-general of the D. A. R. Tonight there will be & banquet with Senator Nye, Re- publican, of North Dakota as speaker. Congress in Brief TODAY. Senate: Continues debate on bill to out- law labor spies. Wire-tapping investigators begin public hearings. Military Affairs Committee con- siders defense program.

Senator Barkley, the Demo- cratic leader, offered today & new reason for a quick ad- Jjournment of Congress. He said he had received word that an employe of the Gov- ernment Printing Office wanted to get married in June, but that he could not obtain leave of absence as long as Congress remained in Washington. Why Must They Die? Roosevelt Requests Removal of Limit On W. P. A. Outlays Says Desire to Return To Boondoggling Could . Be Laid to Advccates By the Associated Press. § President Roosevelt urged Con: gress today to remove a relief bill cost limit on W. P. A. projects and contended that advocates of the limitation could “be charged with & desire to return to boondoggling.” The President, in & letter to Rep- resentative Cannon, Democrat, of Misso uri, expressed opposition to ovisions in the pending $975,650,- & bill which would limit the cost of a Federal project to $50,000 and the Federal contribution to a non- Federal project to the same amount, “The commissioner of work proj- ects,” the letter said, that the proportion of relief labor on large construction projects is in many cases greater than on small projectd and, furthermore, that the overall proportion of relief labor on all construction projects now in op- eration is between 96 and 97 per cefit.” Defense Handicap Seen. It added: “The limitation would have a par- ticularly harmful effect upon the attempt which is being made to use the program of the Work Projects Administration to further national defense.” The President’s letter was read by the House clerk as the members re- sumed debate on the 1941 relief bill. In a postcript the President said that a good deal of fun had been poked at raking leaves, cleaning up parks and the like and that the word “boon: " had become a part of the political vocabulary. “It is true” the postcript said, “that in those days, when the emer- gency of relief was great and the machinery new, there was a certain proportion of projects which did not have any particularly permanent value. “I think that people who insist on the limitations in section 11 (the $50,000 limitation provision) may, with some justification, be charged with a desire to return to boon- doggling.” Communist Ban Expected. Tales of “Trojan horse” activities in Europe were generally expected to assure House approval of legisla- tion to purge the W. P. A. rolls of all Communists. Representative Cannon told re- porters he would support this pro- vision. Representative Ditter, Re- publican, of Pennsylvania recently served notice that such an amend- ment would be offered. The drive to deny W. P. A. jobs to Communists was launched imme- diately after Chairman Dies of the Committee on Un-American Activi- ties told the House last week that Communists and Nazis had a “fifth column” plan for this country simi- lar to that used in Norway. Debate on the relief appropriation was complicated by a long list of proposed amendments. As approved by the Appropriations Committee, the bill would ‘ permit’ President Roosevelt to use all the W. P. A. money during the first eight months of the new fiscal year, which starts July 1. Some members want td require the appropriation to last a full year. Others want fo provide more than twice as much money as the Presi- dent asked. Earmark Moves Planned. Several moves are planned to ear- mark portions of the fund, a policy which Mr. Roosevelt criticized last week. Representative May, Demo- crat, of Kentucky, said he would at- tempt to set aside $30,000,000 for flood control and $20,000,000 for rivers and harbors improvements. Other amendments will seek to re- serve portions of the fund for public buildings and public works. Adoption of either of two amend- ments, prepared by Republicans, would mean liquidation of the W. P. A. program. Representative Ditter has pro- posed that W. P. A. be given $300,- 000,000 to complete projects started before next June 30 and that on De- cember 31 it go out of business. As a replacement, he would provide $450,000,000 for direct relief grants to States and $400,000,000 cash plus $200,000,000 in contract authoriza- tions for a public works program. Representative Taber, Republican, of New York, wants the entire $975,650,000 appropriated for direct grants to community governments.

President Vetoes Rivers, Harbors Bill; Cites Defense Needs Should Not Be Forced on Army Now, He Says Remarking that non-military ac- tivities of the War Department should give way at this time to pre- paredness needs, President Roosevelt today vetoed a rivers and harbors bill involving 300 projects and ap- propriation authorizations of about $110,000,000. The President noted in his veto message that a few items in the bill are of national defense value and that he would be glad to approve separate legislation covering such projects. The measure would authorize the prosecution of 151 projects for im- provement of rivers, harbors and other waterways. It also would di- rect the Secretary of War to make surveys of 149 additional projects and ' authorize appropriations of $109,985450. The President’s veto message follows, in part: “Of the existing authorizations for river and harbor projects totaling $207,720,140 there are so-called inac- tive projects in the amount of $49,- 746,390. There is also carried in the pending War Department civil func- tions appropriation bill an amount of $25,000,000 for construction work on account of existing project au- thorizations. This leaves a balance of outstanding authorizations for ac- tive projects in the amount of $132,- 973,750, “It seems to me that this balance supplies a sufficient backlog of au- thorizations for appropriation pur- poses, without the necessity or de- sirability of adding thereto the large additional amount proposed by the present bill. Moreover, to increase unduly the authoriza- tions for river and harbor projects is likely to produce the un- desirable result of throwing out of balance the distribution, as between the different classes of all Federal construction projects, of the amount that, within annual fiscal limita- tions, may be appropriately devoted to such purpose. ] of every other con- sideration, it seems to me that the non-military activities of the War Department should give way at this time to the need for military pre- paredness. This is a need, not so apparent at the time the bill was under consideration by the Congress, that must now be recognized by all as a matter demanding priority of attention.” D. C.

This compared with & general 3 per cent decrease in April from the preceding month reported by 106 cities. Killed in Traffic Same Date Last Year—31 One of a Series of Factual Analyses of D. C.

Leahy Arrival Here Is Seen as Sign of Impending Trouble Roosevelt Aides Think Admiral Will Serve As Defense Adviser By CONSTANTINE BROWN. The arrival of Admiral William Leahy, former chief of naval opera- tions and at present Governor of Puerto Rico, to report to the White House is considered by many as an indication that we are mighty close to trouble. President Roosevelt allowed Ad- miral Leahy to retire last year when he reached the statutory age with the definite promise that the ad- miral would be at the President’s elbow when the situation gets really bad Admiral Leahy was one of Presi- dent Roosevelt's most trusted ad- visers while he was chief of oper- ations. His counsels were frequently sought, not only on naval matters, in which he always had the last word, but also on international affairs. Noted for Common Sense. The old salt-water sailor had a way of expressing himself bluntly and clearly in very few words. He had what Mr. Roosevelt llkes best from his subordinates—horse sense. On more than one occasion the President talked over the interna- tional situation with the admira) and found in him a cool, clear thinker and a realist. Admiral Leahy saw the war and urged Mr. Roosevelt to bring the Navy up to its present strength and high traming efficiency. During the Panay incident—the Panay, an American boat, was at- tacked and sunk in the Yangtze River during the present war in China—Admiral Leahy was for drastic action, not because he is a Jingoist or a militarist but because he firmly believed—and he told the President so—that if one of the democratic powers would choose to act instead of merely threatening and talking the effect would be ex- cellent not only on the Tokio mili- tary clique but on all the other powers of the axis. Regrets Accepted. Admiral Leahy’s point of view al- most prevailed, but it did not in the end. The cabinet and Mr. Roosevelt himself did not think there would Capt. Rhoda Milliken Deplores Time Lost* Arresting 'Drunks’ Proposes Institution Be Established for Treating Alcoholics ‘Washington police must be re- Heved of thc duty of constantly ar- resting the confirmed alcoholic, thereby losing valuable time in strict crime prevention, if the Dis- trict is to have more efficient police service, Capt. Rhoda Milliken of the Woman's Bureau declared yester- day. Speaking at a luncheon of the Council of Social Agencles at the Y. W. C. A, Capt. Milliken proposed establishment of an institution where alcoholics would not be re- leased until they had shown progress in overcoming the habit. Such an institution, coupled with a system of indeterminate sen- tences, would relieve the police of much work in rearresting these per- sons, the Woman's Bureau head said. About 900 persons are ar- rested by police monthly for in- toxication. She termed “absurd” the method of sending alcoholics to jail, and said the police realize the problem is not being dealt with intelligently. “If you want efficient service from the police,” she declared, “they must be relieved of the responsibility of caring for these people who have nothing to do with crime.” The speaker said Russia is deal- ing with the problem much more sensibly, taking alcoholics tc hos- pitals instead of jails, and on the third offense authorities place them in an institution to be released when improvement is noted. However, Dr. T. Loren Johnson, president of the Washington In- stitute of Mental Hygiene, disagreed with the viewpoint that alcoholics can be aided either by medical or peychiatric treatment. He said no approach to the problem has been found and declared there is nothing that treatment on a farm does that Jail does not do. G. Howland Shaw, member of the Executive Committee of the National Jail Association, reported on a sur- vey looking toward establishment of a system of paying fines by install- ments. In April 1,448 persons were sent to District Jail for misdemean- ors and 80 per cent of the prison sentences were imposed in lieu of payment of fines. Of the offenses of which they were convicted, 72% per cent were for intoxication or disorderly conduct, while 4.6 per cent were for traffic violations. Eighty-five per cent of the fines were $25 or less. Last year, Mr. Shaw said, 1487 were released after paying part of their fines following commitment. He said he would make a report in detail later on the feasibility of inaugurating the installment sys- tem of paying fines. Mr. Shaw shared the viewpoint later expressed by Capt. Milliken that the jail was not the proper place for alcoholics. Vincent Saccardi, chairman of ]flw Corrections Committee, presided during the discussion. Mrs. Harry 8. Bernton, recently elected presi- dent of the council for her third year, called upon members to criti- cize freely in the interest of progress. The council adopted unanimously & recommendation by the Board of Directors to accept the Alley Dwel- ling Authority as a member body. India Bolsters Defense BOMBAY, May 21 (#).—The gov- ernment of India today announced intensification of all defense meas- ures in view of the possibility of “fifth column” activities. retaliation on Japan for its insult to the United States and the wishy- washy regrets of the Japanese gove ernment were accepted. Admiral Leahy’s job at the White House has not been defined yet. It is likely that it will not be, because it won't be a cut and dry duty. Those close to the President believe he will be chief adviser on questions of national defense and on naval and possibly diplomatic strategy. Admiral Leahy has a particular gift of getting along with all kind of be a popular support for any drastic tomorrow. NATL'T. S FOR DBOYS to stop stampeding horses.
