LONGSTREET IS FIRST
 WITNESS AT HEARING
 ON RATE REIMBURSEMENT
By Associated Press

Memphis, April SD. w. Longstreet, traffic manager of the Illinois Central and Yazoo and Mississippi valleN rail- roads, was the first witness in the hear ing begun today before E. l.. Gaddess, an examiner for the interstate commerce commission, for the purpose of reaching a basis for general readjustment ot commodity rates to and from points along the Mississippi river and interme- diate points.
 The new rates are to conform to a recent ruling of the commission which held that lower rates by Mississippi Va1- ley carriers to Gver points because of alleged water competitive conditions no longer were Justified.
 Mir. Longstreet held that the Missis- sippi valley rates ought to be on an equal basis with those proposed for the southeast and in the southwest He con tended that railroads cannot handle 3 commodity by shipment from a given territory through the Mississippi valley into the southeast or southwest when there is no equalization in rates to pro vide for the carrier bringing the com modity to the connecting line getting its earnings out of the hearing.
 It is expected that it will require a week for the carriers to present their contentious, Following which shippers will be heard. Other officials of the H. linois Central railroad are to be heard tomorrow.

WOMAN ON STAND
 IN GROVE TRIAL Corroborates Husbands Testi- mony Regarding Scheme for
 Platinum Theft
By Associated Press

Nashville, April 5.-Mrs H. H. Brown wife of one of the principal witnesses for the government in the trial of H. B. amount of platinum from the Old Hick- ory powder plant in 1919 and 1920, took the witness stand today in federal court and corroborated previous testimony of her husband that Crone had suggested the scheme for the alleged theft of the platinum.
 Brown and the witness were married fast week after he had completed 12- months sentence for his implication in the disappearance of the platinum. He is said to have confessed.
 q heard Crone outline his plan to Brown at our house one night last spring but l thought it was merely a wildcat scheme as they were accustomed to make plans which never materialized,' she testified.
 business. for the two men continued to make their plans from day to day. Finally, Brown said that he must go to West Virginia to get a job Il was at a time when the forces were being re- duced at the plant, and I thought it was to that state that he went, but Crone later told me that he was in New York to sell the platinum.
 Mrs. Brown testified Crone and she had communicated with each other after she returned to Canada, using code which she learned while at school. In th,s way she said, they intended to eliminate the danger of Identification.
 The witness stated that she was ems ployed by the government to investigate the case, and was called upon to make several trips to New York, although she was registered on the pay roll as a clerk at the powder plant, which position she now holds.
 When she returned to Canada after Browns arrest the witness admitted that she removed her trunks unsearched from the plant upon the permission of Maj. w.. H. Ransom of the ordnance department at that time.
 Major Ransom was the witness stand for a short time today. He stated that he was directly over the chief of po- lice at the plant, but said that very little protection was given the vault containing the valuable platinum. Fred Hoeckly, special agent, and Mary Hull, employedsin the office in which the metal was stored at the plant. also served as witnesses.
 It is thought that the case will con tinue throughout the week.

MUCH SPECULATION REGARDING STATUS
 OF GEN. PERSH|NG
Interest Centers In Secretary Weeks Statement Regard ing Coming Announcement
 of Post of Duty"
Rv Assooinied Press


 Washington, April 5.-Secretary Weeks recent statement that he would shortly announce a detail to duty for Genera Fershing, Commensurate with his rank. has caused considerable interest ard speculation in the war department. Sev- crai possible assignments for General Pershing, whose rank as general of the army places him above any routine de- tails which have been discussed by of fcals, it was said today.
 It has been rumored that the general would retire to accept diplomatic post probably that of ambassador to Japan to succeed Roland Morris. whose resig- nation President Harding recently ac- cepted. It is understood that this would be the most acceptable diplomatic pos. General Pershing could be offered. His service there years ago as United States military attache would tend to qualify him for the eposition, it has been pointed out. Another diplomatic post mentioned for him is Paris but it is believed that if given his choice he would prefer TolSio at this time.
 On the other hand large number of army officers believe that General Per shing will either be made chief of staff to succeed Gen. Peyton c. March, or Secretary Weeks will seek from Con- gress legislation placing the entire army on a field basis with him. as general Of the army at the head of the organiza- ton. In the event such a course should be followed, it was pointed out. the gen. eral would have q chief of staff exactly as he had Maj. General Harbord as his principal assistant and chief of staff in directing the Americn expeditionary forces during the war
 Another assignment frequently men tioned in connection with General Per shing is that of governor general of the Philippines. but it is not believed that such a detail would be acceptable to him. A tour of the world under the ere dentials of an envoy extraordinary, sim liar to the tours made by other allied leaders after the war. also has been mentioned
 General Pershing has never broached the subject of retirement to the new administration so far as can be learned, More than a year ago in a letter to Secv retary Baker he indicated his desire 10 go on the retired list as soon as he had completed important duties on which he was then engaged. Most of those du- ties have now been completed Under the law, General Pershing may retire at any time with full pay and allowances of his rank, amounting to about $2lO0l wear
