c. D. ORTIZ RESENTs
. CHARGE At HEARING
Denies Security League
Activities Were Influenced
by Munition Makers.

Charles D. Orth, chairman of the
tional Security League, today vigor-
ously objected to charge made by
Representative Harrison of Missis-
sippi. at the hearing of the special
House committee investigating the
leagues political activities, that the
league has been Influenced by NUM-
ton makers.
Reasons for Opposing Bill.
Mr.. Harrison stated the league had
made strenuous efforts to block pas
citizens selling munitions to belliger-
ent nations, even though petitions
urging that the bill be passed had
been signed by hundreds of thousands
OF people in all sections of the coun-
try and exhaustive hearings on the
question had been held by the for
eign affairs committee.
The league also included as one of
It's acld test measures in the congress

winch was designed to prevent NUM-
tons being carried in armed Ameri-
can ships" Mr.. Harrison said IF a
congressman voted for this measure
he was branded as disloyal by the
league.
What / want to know is how much
the league was influenced to take this
stand by the fact that munitions MAX
ers had contributed large sums of
money to the league" Mr.. Harrison
asked.
Not Influenced in Any Degree.
Mr.. Ortiz replied the league had not
been influenced to any degree and
that the league had opposed the meas
ures because they would take away
rights of the nation allowed by inter-
national law" He added that few
contributions had been received by
munition makers.
Questioned by Mr.. Harrison in re-
gard to why Alton &. Parker. honor
airy vice president of the league, had
threatened to resign his office unless
certain changes were made in the
congressional chart, which he said
was partisan, Mr.. Orth stated all diff
ferences in regard to the chart had
been discussed at an executive SEES
sion October Is last land that the
members decided by vote of to S
to make no changes in it.

HOPE TO KEEP TAX DOWN.
Theatrical Circles Will Make Fight
Against Proposal for Increase.

Strong hope is held in theatrical
circles that the 100 per cent increase
in taxation OF theater tickets costing
more than 80 cents. proposed in the
internal revenue bill pending in con-
ference in Congress. may not be
made law.
Efforts to reach the ears and reason
of congressional conferees has not
been without result, and while no
promise has been definitely made.
there has been encouragement to be-
lieve that the plan OF extra taxation
may be reconsidered.

The representatives Of the allied

Limitations Necessary.

This would be serious enough If

GESHERE MAY
RECEIVE INCREASE
Substantial Additions for Ap-
oeaIs and Supreme Courts
in Bill.

The salaries OF the judges of the
Court of Appeals and of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia will
be substantially Increased IL the ac-
ton of the Senate on the bill provid-
ing increases in pay OF federal and
district courts stands. The bill was
before the Senate today. and 1t is the
hope of its supporters it win pass be-
fore adjournment. 1t has passed the
House.
The Senate yesterday adopted an
amendment giving to the judges OF
the District Court of Appeals salaries
equivalent to those proposed for the
circuit court judges. or $4,000 a year.
and to the judges of the District Su-
preme Court salaries equivalent to
those proposed for the federal district
judges. or $4,000 year.
Reconsidered Vote.
Today however, the Senate recon
sidered it's vote by which the salaries
were made So 900 and $4,000 for the
federal judges. believing that to make
the salaries so high might imperil the
bill. The House bill provided salaries
of $500 for the federal district judges
and $500 for the federal circuit
Judges.
Under existing law the salary of the
judges of the District of Columbia
Supreme Court is $4,000 and of the
Court of Appeals $1,000. with $500 adj
ditional for the chief justice of each
court
There is strong sentiment among
the senators to grant to the judges OF
the District of Columbia courts the
increases proposed to be granted to
the federal district and circuit
judges. Senators Henderson of Ne
vada, Warren of Wyoming and Thomas
of Colorado all advocated giving the
District of Columbia judges the same
salaries as the federal judges. Sem
ator Hoke Smith of Georgia. who is
in charge of the bill on the floor,
agreed to the amendment.
Work Here Very Heavy.
1t was brought out during the de-
bate that the work of the District of
Columbia courts is very heavy. and
the judges are entitled to increases in
salaries The Court of Appeals ham
dies vast number of important gov
