White House to Get
Only 2 of New Type
Dial Control Phones
Ten of II Trunk Lines
to Keep Present Form
of Instruments.

Special consideration is to be given
the White House In the matter of in
stalling the dial telephones.
It has been learned that of the IL
trunk lines operating at the White
House only 2 of them will be included
in the dial arrangement. The others
will be handled by hand operators.
The decision to continue the hand
operation of all but two of the White
House trunk lines is said to have been
prompted by wish on the part of the
telephone company to avoid causing
the President and his secretaries any
unnecessary labor. It was determined
that these Government servants are
busy enough without having to take
time to manipulate dials every time they
have occasion to talk over the telephone.
The White House switchboard, with its
four operators, will be continued in force
just as though the dial system had
never been heard Of. This switchboard,
which has been located in the State,
War and Navy Building since early in
January, when temporary offices were
established there following the executive
ONCE fire, will be moved back to its
regular Glarters In the executive Of
nee Tomorrow.

HOPES TO SOLVE
LABOR PROBLEM
Federation of Churches Asks
Pastors to Discuss Unem-
pIoyment Next Sunday.

Next Sunday has been designated by
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ as a day for focusing attention
on unemployment from the pulpits of
the country's white Protestant churches,
and pastors in Washington and vicinity
have been requested to lend their aid
to the movement.
At a recent meeting Of the admins
trative council of the Nationwide or
ganization it was decided to make a
determined effort to persuade all
churches which are members Of the
Federal Council to seek solution Of the
unemployment situation, and Sunday
was set as the day for pastors through
out the Nation to lay the matter before
their congregations in sermons.
Has Faith in Moral Influence.
It is felt by the council that the
moral influence OF the churches will
bring about centering of public opin-
ion on unemployment and eventually a
remedy. The National Unemployment
League is cooperating in the move
ment.
The circular requesting that special
attention be given to the problem of
unemployment in services Sunday
states, in part:
1--WE urge communities and private
organizations, churches and ministers
to assist in the relief of the thousands
in our cities now destitute as a result
of their inability to obtain employment.
This can be done in two ways: First,
ministers should urge an increase OF
subscriptions to the social agencies to
carry their unusual burdens at this
time; and second, ask their congrega-
lions to find or create part-time jobs,
such as cleaning and repair work in
houses and business places, which will
help to tide over the unemployed until
regular work opens. The address of some
free employment bureau should be an
nounced and committee appointed to
help the unemployed obtain jobs"
Ultimate Solution Discussed.
Looking to the ultimate solution of
the whole problem of unemployment,
the Federal Council adds the following
comment:
"These immediate measures will not
solve the whole problem of unemploy-
ment. This problem waits for its solu-
ton upon measures Of more far-reach-
ing significance, among which unem-
ployment insurance, the more equitable
distribution of wealth and consequent
increase of the buying power of the
masses, and the shortening of the work
day and week, are suggested as meas
ures which must receive increasingly
the attention of thoughtful and socially
minded people"
With the letter to the pastors went a
proposal by the National Unemployment
League for legislation covering period
of years for public works. This is sub
mitted without comment for the con-
sideration of the clergymen.
In the Greater Washington area 240
pastors have been requested to partici-
pate in the unemployment movement
Sunday, while ITO of them are in the
District proper. These figures do not
include the many other ministers OF
Protestant faith in Washington, but not
at the head of churches.

|CROTTS TEST|F|ES
HE FLED SUPPOSED
| BANDIT WHEN SHOT
Police Court Hearing Marked
by Severe GriIIing of Wound
ed Man in GraveIy Case.
CONTINUANCE GIVEN
FOR ANOTHER WITNESS
Occurrences in Home Where Extor-
ton Is Alleged to Have Been
Attempted Omitted.

James Crotts of Silver Spring, feared
hold-up when he ran away from
Detectives Spottswood F. Gravely and
w. F. Burke of the third precinct, for
which he was shot by the. former, he
testified today In Police Court in his
hearing of charges against Gravely
which were continued to Tuesday for
after the court had also heard from
John G. Elgin.
Crotts said he went to the 1900 block
Of First street where the shooting SUBJ
Sequently occurred with Elgin and a
policeman whom he did not know, to
see some girls, about o'clock in the
morning of March 10.
At this point, testimony about what
occurred in the home of Rose Marie
Foster, from whom Crotts Elgin and
Andre G. Swartzel, suspended policeman,
money, was omitted on objection Of the
Crotts defense.
Flight to Save Money.
When questioned relative to what
happened when he and Elgin reached
the street, Crotts said he was seated in
an automobile on First street when an
other machine pulled up behind. He
declared that Elgin said it looked like
hold-up and added that he didn't
have much money anyway. Crotts con-
tinued that as he was carrying con-
siderable cash, he climbed from his Car
to run. Some one cried, There he
goes; catch him" Crotts said that be-
fore he had taken two steps, something
hit him in the back and he fell to
the ground.
He testified that he did not know who
fired the shot and did not see Gravely
until the detective placed him in his
automobile and drove him to Gallinger
Hospital. The only words that Gravely
uttered were: "I'l get you there as fast
as can"
GriIIing Is Severe.
Crotts. who had been in a critical
condition at Gallinger Hospital since
receiving bullet wound through his
chest, was severely grilled by both AS
sistant District Attorney Charles Muir
ray and James A. O'Shea, attorney for
Gravely. Judge Mattingly overruled the
objections of Raymond Neudecker.
counsel for CrottS, that his client would
incriminate himself by giving testimony.
grand jury along with Elgin and Swort-
eel, for attempted eXtortion.
The charge states that the attempted
extortion took place Immediately before
the shooting. It gave this and the fact
that Crotts was running away from the
scene as the reason Detective Gravely
used his revolver. Elgin, in his testi-
mony, declared that a taxi driver by
the name of McVey directed them to
the Foster womans home when he,
Elgin, had asked the driver to show
them to some girls" Upon arriving
at the Foster house he said they de-
cided not to stay.
Summons were issued for McVey and
Swortzel, who will be heard on Tuesday.
After their testimony Judge Mat
tingly will decide whether Gravely
should be bound over to the grand jury.
