a motion to have Chief Justice Coving-
ington certify the case against him to
some other justice, IL there he any
other qualified to preside at the trial.
Mr.. Kleindienst makes no charge of
bias or prejudice against the chief
justice, but claims he is disqualified
because he will be a necessary wit
ness for the government to prove the
allegations of the indictment
This disqualification extends. Attor-
neys Wright and Wampler. for the ac-
cused, claim, to all the other justices
Of the court, because the Indictment
charges that Kleindienst failed to
make disclosure to any Of the justices,
and If five of them were called as wit
nesses before the sixth one presiding
at a trial. it would not be proof that
the disclosure had not been made to
the trial justice. Hence, they claim.
to prove the Indictment the govern
ment must call to the witness stand
all six justices. and as a Judge may
not preside at a trial where he is a
witness. Kleindienst's counsel say, he
cannot be called to trial for the Al

D. A. R. BOARD SELECTS
MRS. DAVIS Of ST. PAUL
Unanimously Names Her for Elev.
enth Vice President General
of Organization.

Mrs. Charles r. Davis of St Paul,
Mimi. was unanimously named as the
eleventh vice president general of the
ID. A. r. at an executive meeting of the
national board in Memorial Continen-
tai Hall yesterday afternoon. 1t was
stated that Mrs. Davis received the ap-
pointment because she polled the eIev-
enth largest number of votes in the
vice president general election last
week.
The defeated candidates were Mrs.
George T. Smallwood of the District,
who was seeking reelection. and Mrs.
had been state vice regent for Mary
land. Partisans of both of these can
didafes were eager that they should be
the choice of the board
IL 10 expected the appointment of
Mrs. Davis will be ratified at meeting
of the board Saturday. There are strong
rumors that the protest made by Mrs.
Smallwood that instructions were be-
ing circulated in the congress that
votes should be cast only for the first
ten on the list of candidates, in dis
elimination against the three others,
will be brought to the attention of the
national board of officers at the next
meeting.
To Remodel Basement.
Plans for remodeling the basement Of
Memorial Continental Hall, adopting
certain colonial interior decorations.
were approved at the board meeting
yesterday. 1t is expected this work
will greatly enhance the attractiveness
Of the hall and develop further the pa :
triotic and memorial features This
work is to be finished before the next
congress.
Emphatic Endorsement of the plan of
the Retail Merchants Association, re-
questing the ID. A. r. to have their
magazine published in Washington, as
are those of similar national organize
tons. has been given by Mrs Geore
Thatcher Guernsey. candidate for
president general.
Mrs. Guernsey approves the plan
which has just been accepted by the
congress Of sending the magazine to all
members of the organization, thus null
tiplying it's circulation. She feels
however, that il should be published
here by a printer who is now getting
out similar publications and who could
do the work much more cheaply than
the New York Establishment.
