Arguments.

Some arguments must deplore.
Their meaning still I guess.
And as hear them more and more,
I understand them less.

kilograms denying reports that col
ored people were being inundated in
North Carolina because the National
Association for Advancement of Colored
People opposed the appointments Of
Judge John j. Parker to the Supreme
Court were made public yesterday by
Senator Overman, Democrat, North
Carolina.
The kilograms were from Gov. Max
Gardner, Federal Judge John ]. Hayes
and James H. Ramsay, Salisbury post
master. They were received as Senate
Republican leaders were attempting to
line up enough votes to insure confirma-
ton when the appointment is taken up
in the Senate this week. Both opponents
and supporters of Parker expressed the
opinion that the vote would be close.
Debate on the nomination will begin
at 3 pm. tomorrow, and is expected to
consume most of the week.
Administration Senators are known to
be depending on number of Demo-
cratic votes to secure confirmation
There were indications, however, that
some of the Democrats expected by Re-
publican leaders to support Parker might
vote against confirmation.
The nomination is also opposed by
organized labor on account of a deci-
sion rendered by Judge Parker uphold
ing contract which required en- ployes
to promise not to join labor union.
The Senate judiciary committee voted
10 to against Parker.
In a letter yesterday to Rignal w.
Baldwin, Marion, N. c., textile oper-
ator who lives at Baltimore, Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, who is op-
posed to Parker, said the controversy
involved "a so-called contract which,
in my Judgment, ought to have no
place in free government and can
have no place in any defensible system
of social Justice"
Borah quoted from a letter written
him by Baldwin which said: Labor
has rights, and recognize them. But
labor, because of its enormous vote
and organization, has thereby no in
creased rights"
Borah wrote In reply, "I thoroughly
agree. Labor has no rights because Of
its votes, great or small, but 1t has
rights regardless Of It's votes"

3 LAWYERS GET
ATLANTA TERMS
Trio Convicted of ConSpiring
to Bride Jurors in Utah
Lead Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Three law
yers convicted three weeks ago Of
charges growing out Of the investiga-
ton into the hung" jury in the Utah
Lead mail fraud trial, were sentenced
to the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta
today by Federal Judge John G. Knox.
Arthur N. Sager, former Circuit At
torney of st. Louis and later an ASSIST
ant United States attorney general, re-
ceived two-year term for each Of the
three counts on which he was con-
victed, the first two sentences to run
concurrently and the third to be sus-
pended during good behavior.
Barred From U. S. Office.
Judge Knox also disqualified him for
ever for any position of honor or trust
in the United States Government.
Joseph Shalleck and Edward H. Rey-
nolds, who were convicted only of con-
spiracy-Sager was convicted also of
bribing a juror-were sentenced to two
years and eighteen months, respectively.
The sentences were stayed for two
weeks and bail of $4,000 each continued,
pending appeals.
/ Judge Knox said imposing sentence
was difficult because he had known all
three men for several years. He added
that he believed there was little diff
ference between them and so was pass
ing almost identical sentences.
Case Ends in Mistrial.
The Utah Lead case ended in a mis-
trial with one juror. John Cruz, hold
ing out for acquittal. Questioning by
United States Attorney Charles H.
futile brought confession from Cruz
that he had received 1910 to hold out
for an acquittal. The juror implicated
the defense lawyers and Murray
Wechsler, a Federal Court bailiff.
Wechsler confessed to acting as inter-
mediary and both he and Cruz testified
at the trial for the Government.
Neither was indicted.

BOMBAY, India, April 26.-Mahatma
Gandhi announced a stronger move in
his campaign of civil disobedience to-
day, asserting he soon would lead
group to take possession Of the gov
eminent salt depot at Dharasana.
Previous manifestations sponsored by
the Nationalist leader have centered
around the manufacture of salt Illegally.
At the outset of his campaign, he ruled
out a suggestion that salt depotS be
raided, fearing that government au-
thorities would fire on the invaders.
Now Gandhi Is prepared to ofter his
head for the cause, he told crowd at
Charvada, whence he had motored from
Bulsar. He said he would take with him
both men and women, but only those
who wore homespun cloth, had given up
liquor and boycotted foreign cloth.
India Is More Quiet.
During the address the Mahatma
made strong appeal for martyrs, say
ing he would have been glad If Ramnik
Mathis first supporter had been shot
or suffered a broken head instead OF
having been arrested. He added that
he and all his volunteers would pre-
sent their broken heads to the govern
ment.
He concluded by saying that break
ing of the salt act alone would not
bring independence, asserting that other
acts would have to be violated to at
tain the desired end.
News from other parts OF India
showed the country more quiet than
recently. Peshawar was orderly and it
was said that the fierce border tribes
living about the city apparently had
not been stirred by disturbances In the

ACTION MAY DEFEAT.
AIRPORT MEASURE
Doom Of Municipal Center Under
taking Follows Personal Visit
of Budget Official.

The District Commissioners yesterday
disapproved the Capper bill, providing
for a loan of $15,000,000 to the District
from the Federal Government for use
in buying land and constructing build
ings at the new municipal center. A
letter containing their action on the
bill was sent to Senator Capper. The
bill was submitted by the Commission
ers to the Bureau of the Budget and
the bureau reported that the proposed
expenditure of Federal funds would not
be in accordance with the financial pro-
gram Of the President.
Commissioner Reichelderfer had pre-
viously testified before the Senate Dis
trict committee that while the Commits
sionerS were not opposed to the bill,
they did oppose the clause providing
for q payment Of 31a per cent interest
on the loan, and that If the bill were to
be passed this should be stricken out.
Yesterdays letter changes their stand
to one Of complete disapproval Of the
bill.
Likely Blow to Airport.
This action, taken in connection with
the recent warning Of the President

must be held down, is regarded by some
to be a deathblow not only to the Cap
per bill but probably also at the Bing-
ham airport bill, which provides for o
loan of 100000 of Federal money to
the District. The Cranston bill, provid-
ing a loan of $4,000, 900, was approved
by the Budget Bureau on February IL,
1929.
These three bills, providing for loans
from the national to the local govern
ment for various projects, total $685.
500 900. In addition there Is proposal
on foot for q payment of $4,000, 600 by
the national to the municipal govern
ment when the Federal Government
takes over the present District Building
as part of its development of the tri-
angle bounded by the Mall, Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Fifteenth street. The
prospect of turning $38,500,0 900 over to
the local government out of Federal
funds within relatively short time is
thought by some so radically in conflict
with the statement Of the President
that Federal appropriations must be cut
down that all of the bills are considered
more or less endangered. The airport
bill has never been sent to the Budget
Bureau for report.
