This is a change. on the whole,
toward conservatism. Everett
Sanders is regular" of the
strictest sort He is a lawyer OF
the highest repute and of the most
rigorous training. He is sociable,
ukeable, and sternly opposed to all
new experiments in bureaucratic
recommendation.
In the House of Representatives
he voted against the McNary-
Haugen bill for establishing a Gov
ornamental corporation to buy and
sell farm products. He also, 1t
lis now noted with some popularity
i'm Washington, spoke against the
ideas of Governmental rent
control commission in washington
an idea to which the President
has recently lent some considerable
Presidential apparent favor.
It is lightly said in Washington
today that If the President should
show any tendency to fly off wild.
ly into radical ideas, Mr.. Everett
Sanders can be relied on to rush to
his rescue and try to save him
from them.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Sanders
will have a hard time trying to
be a better Secretary to the Presi-
dent than Mr.. Slemp has been.
The best judges Of a Presidential
Secretary are the specialized White
House reporters who spend all their
time in the White House executive
wing. They are virtually a unit
in esteeming Mr.. Slemp as one Of
the best Presidential secretaries of
their whole experience. In fact,
they do not remember any Presi-
Dental Secretary whom they would
rank higher than Mr.. Slemp. He
departs with their deepest admira-
tion-which is the greatest tribute
that any Presidential secretary
could have at the moment of his
departure.
Both Keen Politicians.
To mention a minor detail, Mr..
Slemp has been superb at getting
visitors Hospitality in to see the
President and at then getting them
efficiently out into the street in
such a way as to give the Presi-
| dent the maximum of acquaintance
with his fellow citizens and yet
| the minimum of loss of his time.

Committee Virtually Decides
on Director to Put New
Rules Into Effect

Washington is to have a Direc-
tor of Traffic, with liberal powers,
it was definitely decided today at
a meeting of the joint 'subcnaa-
mittee on traffic presided over BY
Senator L. Heisler Ball, Of Della
ware. :
Engineer Commissioners ]. Frank
lin Bell, Major William H. Hol-
combe, his assistant; and Ringgold
Hart, assistant district corporation
counsel sat with the committee
today and concurred in the belief
Of the solons that responsibility
should be placed on a single head
over all traffic matters.
To Speed Legislation.
Having received word from Sena.
tor Curtis, Republican floor leader
of the Senate, that District traffic
legislation probably can be sand
WICKED in shortly If it is rushed
along. the joint committee decided
they will co~rplete drafts of the
bill at an executive meeting to be
held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.
In the meanwhile the two legis.
lative experts of the Senate will
confer this afternoon with Commits
sioner Bell in order that they may
get his views on minor details.
Bells Name Proposed.
1t is understood that at one time
the committee decided to make Bell
an ex-officio traffic director, but
that the practicability of this was
questioned by some.
1t was pointed out that the di-
rector Of traffic will be empowered
to designate certain arteriaI high.
ways and boulavards where fast
motor car traffic is expected to re-
lieve congested situation here.
Mr.. Hart frankly told the commit.
tee it would be useless for it to auth
orize the creation of arterial high
ways unless an appropriation for adj
ditional lights and essential equip
ment such as traffic towers and the
like, were made.
Question Of More Police.
Although the committee has al
ready voted to give the District 800
additional policemen in the bill, il
was indicated today that in as much
as this authorization might provoke
opposition on the Senate floor. the
number may be trimmed to facilitate
passage of the bill This is considered
vital question and Immediately
after it's converting Major Holcombe
was asked to file with the commit
tee exact number of policemen on
duty at present.
1t is understood that details con-
corning the creation of the office of
traffic director consumed the major
portion of the committees time to-
day, as the members believe the bill
can be relieved of much detail IL
generous authority is vested in this
official.

CLAIM
Henry w. Faison, Shell Shock
ed, Now in st. Elizabeth's
for Observation
By CLELAND c. McDEVITT

by OLELANO ~. MCDEV111
How a coIored cook at the
Shepherd House, Tenth and E
streets northwest, took Henry w.
Faison, thirty-three, son of for
mer Congressman John Miller
Faison Of North Carolina, to a
house at 1852 Union street south
west, Saturday night, January II,
and married him in the presence
of adnniringl colored friends, was
disclosed today.
Details of how the cook, Annie
Nelson, thirty-seven, who was so
illiterate that when she obtained
the marriage license here on Jam
uary II 'she had to sign by cher
mark caroused with her white
husband for three days before he
fell into the tolls of the law and
was sent to Gallinger Hospital,
caused distinct jolt to National
Capital society when they were
whispered about.
Shell-ShOck Victim.
An uncle of Faison and brother
OF the former Congressman, who is
row dead. is in Washington at
tempting to straighten out the sit
uation. He has succeeded in hav.
ing the young man sent from Gal
Enger Hospital to st. Elizabeth's
through the Veterans Bureau. Fai-
son is a world war veteran and has
been treated before as a shell.shock
patient.
from her situation at the Shepherd
House, where it is said she was
employed for nearly twenty years.
Mrs. Mary T. Todd, manager of
the Shepherd House, a Virginia
woman, is said to be so incensed
over the episode that she has been
Ill since 1t was first brought to
her attention.
Visits Him i'm Hospital.
1t was learned today that after
Faison had been committed to
Gallinger Hospital on Tuesday,
January 20, his legal wife visited
him.
II want to see Mr.. Faison," the
colored woman told the young
woman in charge Of the psyche
pathic ward.
But he's a white man." the
young woman observed in a sur
prised manner.
II know it, returned Mrs. Fai-
son, calmly.
1t is reported, however, that
Mrs. Faison was only with her
husband q very few minutes
when she went out in a huff.
Woman Gets License.
Investigation showed today that
the Shepherd House cook went to
the Court House and obtained a
license in person.
The cook gave Faison's color as
"colored" and named the Reverend
Aquila Sayles as the clergyman
who was to marry them. She
said that neither she nor her pros
pective husband had been mar
ried before.
Police, however, are investigat-
ing the possibility that Faison
Is already married.
The return of the Reverend
Sayles showed that the marriage
was performed on the same day
the license was issued at the
Union street address. It is pre-
sumed that this was the home OF
either the cook or her freindss a.

Alabama Senator Will Bare
Charges in Public Address.
Secrecy Ended
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News seryice.

International News seeyiee.
The Administration was threat
ened today with a public flareup
Of the battIe being waged against
the promotion Of Attorney General
Harlan F. Stone to the Supreme
Court.
The threat came from Senator
HefIin, (Dem.) of Ala, who served
notice he. intended to pub
licly discuss" Stones legal record
from the floor Of the Senate.
Thus far, Administration leaders
have confined the fight to secret
sessions of the Senate with de-
tailed publicity blocked by the
rules that bar newspaper men
from attendance.
Warren Nomination Waits.
The fight on Stone has tied up
not only his nomination, but that
of his potential successor, Charles
B. Warren, of Detroit.
Action on the Warren nomina.
ton has been indefinitely post
poned to await the outcome of thu
Stone contest.
When it is finally considered, it
will face determined opposition
growing out of Warren's forrner
connection with the beet sugar in
dustry.
The principal attack on Stone
was based on his announced plan
to reindict Senator Burton K.
Wheeler CD of Montana, on the
same evidence used for the latter
indictment in Montana last year.
A faction of Southern Senators
also opposed the nomination on a.
count of Stones activity as attor-
ney for ]. Pierpont Morgan in liti-
CATION against Colonel James A.
Owenby, a Colorado mining man.
Heflin has been a leader of the
latter group.
HefIin Will Speak.
II intend to discuss the record
Of Mr.. Stone as attorney for the
Morgan interests from the floor
OF the OOIIdlc, 11eLIlIl LOIO the H.
ternational New Service today. -
will speak as soon as / have gath
cred the necessary documents. That
has been my reason all along in
opposing his confirmation
Efforts of Administration leaders
to prevent Heflin attacking Stone
from the floor last Saturday pro-
voked a secret battle that ended
only when the nomination was re-
turned to the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee for further investigation
That committee will meet Thurs
day but indications pointed only
to a further postponement.
II don't think there will be any
action on the Stone nomination
until the case against Senator
Wheeler is disposed of satisfactor-
ily." said Senator Walsh CD of
Montana, one OF Stones principal
critics. action at least will be de-
layed until after the District of
Columbia grand jury. which meets
in February. has filed a report on
Stones request for a new indict-
ment against Wheeler.
"If the indictment is returned
do not know what will happen TO
the Stone nomination"

CHRYSLER GIVES rs
MILES TO GALLON
ON 90O0-MILE TRIP

Harry w. Hamilton, athletic dircc-
tor of the San Antonio junior schools,
has just returned from a 9O00-mile
trip through the western part of the
country. During the trip, Mr.. Ham
ilton reported no trouble with his
Chrysler six roadster and averaged %
miles to the gallon of gasoline. He
made the trip without spending a
cent for repairs.
Mr.. Hamilton first went to Denver
then Salt Lake City. He followed the
route by the way of Yellowstone Park,
Portland to Vancouver. He then re-
turned by the coast route to Bcrke-
ley, Cal, where he took a course in
the California University. He re-
turned to San Antonio by the way OF
the Grand Canyon and New Mexico.
There were many tests given the
Chrysler on the trip. At one time
the car was driven % miles where
water was over the exhaust pipe.
