EXPLAINS ATTACK BY BISHOP.
Charges Effort to Get Even With Re
voting Clergy.

ALBANY, N. Y, December R.-
Former Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Den
yer, in an address at the Jewish Com
munity Center here last night, said that
the attack made upon him by Bishop
William T. Manning in a sermon yes
terday was "an effort to get even with
some of the clergy Of his diocese who
have been in revolt against him"
In order to do this, the former judge
continued, Bishop Manning tried to
give him as black a reputation as pcs
Sible and made "a malicious attack from
as bitter pair Of lips as I have ever
SEEN"
Judge Lindsey came here last night
to make an address on problems of
youth. At the conclusion of his speech
he was asked to tell what happened at
the Cathedral of st. John the Divine
yesterday.
The speaker then sketched the events
that led up to Bishop Manning's SER
mon Of the forenoon. He said the
sermon, on "Companionate Marriage" :"
was rather an attack on him and q
deliberate Misrepresentation" of his
views on marriage and that it was
prompted by the clergy's defy to the
bishop over their right to hear Lindsey.
To make the people of New York be-
lieve these ministers had erred, he said,
Bishop Manning tried to make the
judges character so black the people
generally would condemn the clergy for
listening TO him.
He said the affair at the cathedral
really was kind of humorous" and his
description kept the audience laughing.
He said he did not know the bishop was
praying when he interrupted him.

M'NINCH NOMINATION
OPPOSED BY BAILEY
North Carolina Senator-Elect OBJ
jects to Federal Power
Group Appointee.

The nomination of Frank r. Nc
Ninch to be member of the Federal
Power Commission is opposed in a
letter sent by Senator-elect Josiah w.
Bailey of North Carolina to members
OF the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee.
Mr. Bailey in his letter charged that
the appointment of McNinch, who
headed the Anti-Smith Democratic
forces in North Carolina in 1928, "is
transparently political" Mr.. Bailey also
charged that Mr.. McNinch in 1928
waged a campaign in which consider
able money was expended.
He said that it had been rumored
some OF this money came from power
companies. If this was so, the Bailey
letter said, Mr.. McNinch should not be
confirmed by the Senate.
Mr.. McNinch Is to appear before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
on Thursday. His friends insist that
he will be able to clear up satisfactorily
any doubts which the committee may
have regarding his fitness to be men,

VALUATION OF j. s.

Efficiency Bureau Figure of
$320,715,015 AnaIyzed
for House Group.

Methods used by the Bureau of Ef-
f1ciency in reaching the conclusions in
its exhaustive report on the fiscal re-
lationship between the United States
and District Governments were out
lined in detail by Thomas F. Murphy,
assistant chief of the bureau, the only
witness called today by the special COM
mittee of the House appointed to study
the fiscal relations subject.
Step by step Murphy went through
the report as it was presented to the
committee, explaining the voluminous
statistics 1t contained, but when the
committee adjourned about noon he had
only gone through about one-half Of
the report.
Indications were that he would be on
the stand at least two more days-one
day to complete his explanation OF the
bureaus conclusions. and another day
to answer qaestions which the commit
tee is preparing TO ask him in connec-
ton with the tax schedules and other
data in the report.
Bureau Rule Specific.
Murphy pointed out that the bureau
followed a specific rule in arriving at
the valuation of 1920, ISL ,015 1t placed
on Federal-owned property in the Dis
trict which is devoted exclusively to
Federal activities. He said the bureaus
investigators took the valuation OF
$500, 600, 900 placed on all Federal hold
ings in the District by Tax Assessor
William p. Richards, and excluded all
Federal-owned property dedicated to
District use as well as that devoted to
park purposes. The result of the appli-
cation Of this rule, he said, produced a
valuation of $320,75 ,015, a figure, he
said, the bureau believed to be fair for
the purposes of taxation, If the United
States is considered in the light OF
municipal taxpayer.
The bureau, Mr.. Murphy emphasized,
accepted the valuation OF Tax Assessor
Richards only after conferring with
David Lynn, supervising architect of
the Capitol, officials Of the supervising
architects Office of the Treasury and
Lieut.. Col u. S. Grant, Sd, director OF
public buildings and public parks. All
of these Government officials, he de-
clared, agreed that the valuations OF
Mr. Richards appeared to be fair.

by the United States, Mr.. Murphy ex-

RAIL WORKERS ACT
FOR S|X-HOUR DAY
Representatives of Labor
See Opportunity in UnempIoy-
ment to Advance Movement.

Believing that the present period of
unemployment presents an opportune
moment for furtherance of proposals
for a six-hour day in railroad employ
ment, representatives of all branches
OF railroad labor were in conference
here today to consider plans for the
advancing movement.
The meeting, attended by the presi-
dents or other executive officers of the
big Five" railroad labor organizations,
is the outgrowth of a series of con-
ferences held recently in Chicago and
Cleveland, during which the subject of
shorter hours for railroad men was
linked with plans for relieving unem-
ployment in the industry.
Attending Conference.
Attending today's executive confer
ence were A. F. Whitney, president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen;
David B. Robertson, president of the
brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen; Alvaney johnson,
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers; z. P Curtis, presi-
dent Of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors; T. G .CaShen, president of the
SWitchmen'S Union; z. J. Manion of
the Order Of Railroad Telegraphers, and
others.
Employees Of unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor were rep
resented in the parley. The railroad
brotherhoods are not in the federation.
Delegates to the meeting visited the
office Of william N. Doak, national leg
lgI0ftVa af hA
hood OF Railroad Trainmen, and con-
graduated him on his appointment as
Secretary of Labor. Doak did not take
part in the conference, however.
Two Earlier Meetings.
Agitation for a six-hour day was re-
neWed at recent meeting in Chicago
OF 700 representatives of the five larger
railroad employees organizations. A
committee of seven men from each or
ganiZation was named to work out de-
tails OF the plan. The committee met in
Cleveland last week and called a con-
ference OF brotherhood executives for
consideration of definite program.
This conference began this morning at
the Labor Building of the railroad
brotherhoods on Capitol Hill
There is much opposition to be over
come before a six-hour day can be
adopted, labor officials admit. The
shorter hours will neceSsitate four shifts
instead of three shifts a day, and
shorter shifts probably would mean
shorter railroad operating divisions and
relocation of present division terminals.
On the other hand, the additional shift
would provide employment for thou
sands OF railroad men who are out of
work and would, its advocates claim,
make for increased efficiency.

the Island of Hoedic, about five miles
from where the Artiglio went down.
The salvage boat was thousand
feet away from the derelict when
mines her divers had planted in the
hulk exploded, but the repercussion of
the blast sent her to the bottom.

The Artiglio herself carried heavy
cargo of explosives, and it was believed
that these had been set of. Thou

The derelictS of two munitions ships
sunk during the war had been con-
demned as menaceS to navigation, and
the Artiglio and the Rostro had been
ordered to break them up. A warship
had taken a group of French marine
ministry officials out to the vicinity
while the operations were under way
Capt. Bertelotto Giacomo of the
Artielio was one of those killed. A
