WASHINGTON BANKER
OPPOSES CONTROLLER
W. H. Cooper Appears Before Sen
ate Committee in Renewal of
Fight on J. S. Williams.

Opposition to the confirmation OF
John SHELTON Williams as controller
of currency was renewed today be-
fore the Senate banking committee.
which is considering his renomina-
ton.
Wade H. Cooper. Washington
banker said Mr.. Williams director
of finance in the railroad administra
ton had ''acquiesced by his silence" in
an unfair contract made with the
Georgia and Florida railroad. under
which the road was guaranteed net
profit of $4,000. although it had a
deficit of $4,000 the year before 1t
was taken over by the government.
He added that Mr.. Williams brother
was one of the receivers for the road.
Appearing before the committee in
his own behalf, Mr. Williams said that
at his own request the director gen
eral of railroads had relieved him
from participation in the making OF
the contract because a member OF his
family had been interested in the
road He said Mr.. Cooper's figures
were grossly inaccurate" He added
il was true he held between $4,000 and
$1,000 worth of stock in the road,
which he had secured as payment for
services rendered, and that he former
ly was president of the line. Since en-
tering the government service. he
said, he had retired from all corporate
interests

The essentially democratic thinking
of the Czechoslovaks is well illus

accomplishments in their history as

District Owes $4,000.

Already. the District owes local deal
ers something like $4,000 on account
of contracts for supplies entered into
on this basis. The money with which
these obligations are to be satisfied is
appropriated in the third deficiency
bill.
AS salary payments will not have to
be met before the middle of July the
commi SSionerS are not much con-
cerned over this feature. They be-
lieve the District bill will be a law
before that time.
What is regarded as the most
serious feature in the situation is the
reduced pay given operatives at the
water and sewage pumping sta
tionS. In some instances the salary
cuts amount to $500 year.
The Commissioners have request I'd
Congress to remedy the matter in
another appropriation mea sure. and
strong hope is felt this will be done.
Otherwise. there is grave danger of
wholesale designations of employees in
these Institutions. which would Seri-
ouSly menace the health and safety
of all the citizens of Washington.

Czechoslovak Float.

The float which is to represent the
CZeChoslovak republic in the Fourth
of July pageant is symbolic of the
fulfllment of the prophecy made by
the Princess LibuSe in the seventh
century: My beloved nation shall not
perish it shall all Affections over
come.
According to the legend. the Prin-
cess Lihuse reigned in the seventh
century and was woman not only
of great beauty. but of extraordinary
wisdom.
1t was said that never but once did
the council of the elders doubt her
wisdom. and that was on the occasion
when she announced her decision to
marry. The council wished to select
a husband for her. but to their
chagrin she resolutely rejected all
their suggestions. and then to their
amaZement married an humble toiler
in the fields. This toiler became a
great king. and was the founder of
