national organization modelled some
what after the War Finance Cor
poration. aimed to provide credits
and promote foreign trade will be
urged upon the incoming Congress,
1t was learned yesterday.
Advocates of the plan declare that
senator Harding is already con-
WINGED Of the necessity for such an
organization, and is prepared to ad-
vance the plan in every way pos
sible.
. 1t is pointed. out that one Of the
most serious symptoms of the times
Is the fact that American export
trade has seriously declined in sew
erai sections of the world, particur
larly in South America, where moi
atoriums have been declared. or
that account 1t is expected that the

TWO INDICTED
In CHEVY CHASE
B. H. Warner, Jr., and Thos,
E. Robertson Named in
Election Cases.

Brainard H. Warner. jr., and
Thomas e. Robertson. Washington
lawyers and recognized Republican
leaders Of Montgomery County.
Maryland. have been indicted on
counts charging disorderiy conduct
in connection with the recent cleo
tions in Chevy Chase. Nd.
Indictments were returned yester-
day afternoon against the two law
yers, both of whom are residents of
Chevy Chase. just before the ad-
5ournment Of the grand jury for
the November term of the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County.
Warner practices law in Washing
ton and was some time ago the Re-
publican candidate for Congress
from Chevy Chase. Robertson is
also a lawyer with Offices in WASH
ington and for many years held Of
fee as Republican Judge of elections
fer the Chevy Chase district.
The specific charge against the
two men Is that they acted in a
manner at the Chevy Chase regis
tration Offices on October IL as to
hinder and impede" the work OF
registration officers.
The indictments were found upon
the testimony OF well known Dem
ocratic men and women of Chevy
Chase, including Andrew j. Cum
mings, James A. Keliher, Democratic
officer of registration for Chevy
Chase: Mrs b. Ashby Leavell, wife
of the Democratic leader, and Mrs.
Molfie z. Nicholson. leader among
Democratic women Of Chevy Chase.
Friends OF the indicted men de-
clare that the charges cannot be
sustained and attribute the entire
affair 10 -politics."- They further
declare that the Seventh and Thir-
teenth precincts. where the irregu-
larities were said to have occurred,
were carried by the Republicans
with a coo majority. and that this
majority was greater by $50 than
any ever before gained In that sec
tion by either party. They also say
that the Indictments were the di-
rect result of spitework on the part
of two women"
As directed By Judge Peter in his
charge at the opening OF the court
in Rockville last week, the Jury
made an investigation of reported
Illegal voting and other alleged
irregularities at Chevy Chase in the
recent election, but the testimony
failed to develop anything justify
ing indictment.
Walter c. Clephane, an attorney,
and friend of Robertson, comment
ing on the affair last night, de-
, clared that the matter was "far too
petty to dignity under an ihdict-
ment.
TT is merely the elimination OF
a series OF bitter attacks by an ele-
ment which tried to prevent Repub-
lican voters from going to the
polls" he said
Explaining the origin of the diff
ficulties. he said:
Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Robertson
were ordered to move back a few
feet from the judges table. They
refused, since the very act of is
suing such an order was Illegal"
Another friend characterized the
action of the grand jury as the re-
suit of the work of "two SMALL
calibre Democratic politicians"
Warner. and Robertson are ex-
pected to go to Rockville tomorrow
to arrange for bail with the district
attorney,
