La Toilette Directs Senate Strategy in
Trial and Quiz of Harry Daugherty

ert, through counsel, has demanded
it be conducted exactly like a court
trial and that he be permitted to sub
poena defense witnesses.
Congressional committees never per.
init persons being investigated to sum-
mon witnesses in their own defense
and in most cases refuse even to per-
init cross-examination Of COMMITTEES
witnesses. Daugherty has demanded
the right to do both.
The committee may reply to him
the Senate has not authorized the
committee to try him. but merely to
investigate his administration of the
department.
In mapping the course of the in
vestigation, first place will be given
to a scrutiny of the activities of the
bureau of investigation. Of which
William J. Burns is head.
The progressives have wanted to
subject that agency to a shake-up ever
since the war and now they have the
chance. they will loose no time.
Next on the program viii be an in
quiry into complaints of the Federal
Trade Commission that the depart
ment has not followed up antitrust
cases.
Daugherty, who is in Florida, will
not appear personally in the early
stages of the investigation.

TRAFFIC VIOLATOR
SCHOOL PROPOSED
Plan Would Make Fine and In
StructiOn Alternatives,

A. plan whereby truck drivers, ar
rested for traffic violation and unable
to nay a fine, may attend night
school where lectures viii ge given
and pictures shown on how to drive
was presented by Traffic Inspector
Michael Glenn TO Judge Delbert O.
Wilmeth and Police Chief Rikhoff to-
day.
Glenn said statistics show truck
drivers are the most fragrant violators
OF traffic Jaws and that assessment
of fines did not seem to insure future
respect for the law.
The salaries of many truck drivers
are such that a fine would he hard
ship, Glenn said. The truck drivers
would have alternative Of paying
the fine or being sentenced to at
tend two high schools sessions week.
Judge Wilmeth said that other cities
were using that plan with success.
Chief Rikhoff also favored it.

Woman Is Summoned o
Walsh will also question Mrs. Duck
stein. reputed author of the Mary
telegram, which, as deciphered, shows
Burns had sent word indirectly to
Mclean he was being investigated.
Mrs. Duckstein, now an agent of
the department. was formerly Burns
confidential secretary. Her husband.
W. O. Duckstein, is one of Mclean S
secretaries.
Burns will be asked to tell whether
Mclean is on the rolls of the depart
ment as a "dollar-a-year man" with
a secret service operatives shield and
a copy of the departments secret
codee.
The expert will be put on the stand
as tho first witness and Burns will
then be called on to explain how Nc
Lean sot the department. secret
code.
The committee ie convinced Nc
Leans connection went deeper than
his supposed loan of 500. 900 TO Albert
3. Fall. Evidence already gathered
showing how Mclean. publisher of the
Washington Post and Cincinnati En-
quirer and close friend of government
officials, used a small army of lawyers
and special agents to prevent the
story of his part becoming known, has
clinched the belief of committee men,
bers the whole story has not been told.
