Huston Fights to Hold
G. o. P. Chairmanship In
Spite of Lobby Probe
By GEORGE r.. HOLMES
Oy OLORNUE kSs KAOAWAES
IRtaHnaf fiOnal NeHa NeHvieA

International News Service
Claudius H. Huston stuck dog
gedly to his position today that
he will not resign as chairman
Of the Republican national COM
mittee, but reports persisted in
the most authoritative quarters
that there will be q new head
Of the committee before this
years campaign gets under way.
Republicans Of every shade Of
party opinion believe that the
retirement Of Chairman Huston
is inevitable because of the dis
closures Of the Senate Lobby
Committee, showing his long con-
nection with the Muscle Shoals
lobby and his marginal operations
in the stock market with funds
collected for the Tennessee River
Improvement Association.
Hoover Asked to Act
President Hoover already has
been appealed to by some party
leaders to remove Huston, and
additional pressure will shortly
be brought to bear. The White
House has thus far remained
silent, but it is a question of
how long this pressure from Sen
atorS and Representatives can be
withStood.
A particularly intensive con.
greSSional campaign is just ahead,
and Republicans up for re-elec.
ton are worried enough as it is,
They know that the Democrats
are planning to make extensive
use of the Lobby Committees
disclosures, and they do not want
to go into the campaign with the
national chairman made a more
conspicuous target by retention
of his office.
Reports that Huston will retire
this week or next week are prob
ably premature. That would
smack too much of quitting,
under fire" What is expected is
that the TenneSSean will remain
as chairman until the lobby com
mite has concluded its investiga,
ton and the present furore sub.
sided somewhat. Then Washing.
ton will be surprised if he does
not find it necessary to return to
private business interests.
Hit for Inactivity
Party dissatisfaction with HuS-
toms Craftsmanship does not rest
entirely upon the lobby commit
tees disclosures. There has long
been complaint in some party
quarters that the chairman has
not been active enough in party
affairs, and has been out-maneu-
vered by the Democratic publicity
machine. which has been function
ing militantly and aggresSively
throughout the tariff fight.

depended upon to give him a con-

which are proposed for these ser
vices.
Brown Reluctant
His appointment was deter
mined upon by the President
after long study of his qualifica-
tionS. Two others who remained
in the running against him to
the last were Ringgold Hart,
former Assistant Corporation
Counsel. and DR.. George c.
Havenner, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
ton.
It was the Presidents first de-
sire to give the second civilian
commissionerShip to Herbert D.
Brown, chief Of the Bureau OF
Efficiency, but the latter showed
such reluctance to abandon his
present duties that the plan was
abandoned. So far as is known.
DR., Reichelderfer did not seek the
appointment and had no political
hackers of Importance.
His standing in the local med1-
cal fraternity is high.
General Crosby, 1t is under
stood, does not desire to be made
chairman of the Board Of Com
missioners, and this post Will
probably be given to Dr.. Relchel-
derfer.
He will assume office at a time
when the police situation IN the
District is approaching a crisis,
and when a scandal whose pos
sible ramifications with regard to
the local underworld may be far"
reaching.
No Military Rule
General Crosby's friends en-
phatically declared that it is not
his purpose to establish military
rule" in the District or be ruth
less in carrying out reforms. They
declare he is a firm disciplinarlan
but not a martinez.
Nevertheless, there is a strong
impression that he will deal with
the local police situation with an
iron hand. Already there are ru-
mors at the District Building
that a "shake-up" is impending
General Crosby's experience as
an army officer is expected to
bring a new psychology into the
District Building" according to
observers. He has no local con
nections or political contacts
viii IL might prove embarrassing
in the task ahead of him.
He is SO years of age, having
been born in Fairmont. Kan, on
December "a, 1871. He graduated
from West Point in 1893, and be
came lieutenant colonel in 1917
He served overseas during the
World War and became chief OF
cavalry in 1926. His home is at
254O Massachusetts, Ave. N. w.

summed up in legal fashion that
almost cracked in it's dryness.
Powers pleaded with the jury
of ten men and two women to
exercise fairness and intellectual
honesty" in arriving at their de-
cision on the penalty to be meted
out to Irene Shrader for the
wicked and vicious" murder Of
Corporal Paul.
Irene slumped dejectedly in her
seat as Powers proceeded. Despite
the hot and Stuffy atmosphere
she pulled her sport cloth coat
closely about her and kept her
black straw hat clamped closely
about her ears.
Powers struck at the ''irresiSt-
ible impulse to rob" defense set
up for Irene. With cold, cutting
logic analyzed the crimes COM
mitted, called the jury's attention
to the deliberate and careful plan
ming that preceded the hold-upS
and pointed out that Irene
pleaded a robbery mania. through
which only impulsive robbery can
occur.
Powers summation is to be
followed by that of Benjamin Jar
rett and Thomas D. Dickey, for
the defense, and the arguments
are to close with a summation
for the prosecution by Prosecutor
Charles Margiotti.
The case is expected to be in
the hands of the jury tonight or
early tomorrow.

Puppeteer Must Be
Jack of All Trades

Despite the fact that manipulating
dolls sounds like an awful lot of fun,
the business of being a "'puppeteer' is
audiences and critics sometimes i'm
agine.
Each year literally hundreds of
people apply to Tony Sarg, the well
known illustrator, whose marionettes
will play here on March 81, for posi-
tions with his shows. Not one in q
hundred, the artist says, has even the
most elemental qualifications for this
work.
To handle the score or more Of
strings attached to each figure, and to
make it walk, dance, sit and g~esticu-
late like an honest-to-goodness hui
man takes q rare kind Of mechanical
genius, plus months Of patnstaking
practice. To read lines and PROJECT
them from behind the scenes while
working the intricate controllers" Of
the puppets from q bridge high above
the miniature stage, requires dra-
matte talent equal to that Of the most
finished Broadway actor.
But this Is Just q small part OF
what is expected of the people who
breathe life into the puppets. They
must also be singers, instrumentalists,
scene shutters, electricians and first
aid experts, and all at a moments
notice. When new Marionettes must
be constructed or old ones repaired
after the stress Of an overnight
flight from one town to another, these
versatile people behind the scenes
often serve as seamstresses beautic-
ians. and even surgeons to their MIN
iature charges.
Nor Is the diction Of a Sir Henry
Irving or the voice of a CALI urci
enough to satisfy the cxacting de-
mands Of Tony Sarg. He has long
prided himself on the perfection OF
his puppet animals, who often play
leading roles in his plays. Each OF
his puppeteers must speak perfectly
at least one animal Language.
SO II the pupeteer Is q bit OF q
mechanic. car play q variety OF mi.

singing voice a. well, he or she IS
