Late today when the House nears

Treasury-Post once appropriation bin
on which it is working, Representative

will move to strike from the bill the
amendment included by the House

the bill was reported to the House, pro-

The policy Of the Appropriations
Conaf1ittee as set In this first of the big
appropriation bills and which Chairman
Wood has emphasized Is to be con-
tinued In all Of the other appropriation
bills, has aroused CONSERVATION among
Government workers generally. Many
members of Congress have expressed
opposition to this drastic attitude Of the
Appropriations Committee. It was dis
cussed vigorously IN the House yester-
day.
Representative LaGuardia hopes to
receive sufficient support to knock the
amendment out of the bill now under
consideration as q preliminary toward
preventing the Appropriations Commit
tees policy against salary increases
being carried forward in all the other
big supply bills.
Chairman Wood charged on the
House floor yesterday that there are "a
large number of the clerks Of the United
States devoting more Of their attention
to shorter hours, shorter days and
more salaries than to the duties for
which they are employed"
He was applauded when he said, IT

the Appropriations Committee, regard

Atheism was not a prerequisite of mem

Foster refused to give to the COM
mittee the names of members of the

Questioned at an open hearing, Foster
said:
I'm not submitting any names to

Asked his reasons he replied that
"such evidence could only be elected for
eventual use against us In police
court"
The Communist said he was a mem
Der of the committee and said no one
had priority over him. He declared the
purpose of the House Committee was to
have the Communist organization out
iawed.
Refuses to BE Sworn.
At the outset, Foster refused to be
sworn by Chairman Fish of the COM
mittee, asserting in reply to question
that he did not believe in deity. He
consented to Affirming that he would
tell the truth. Twice a candidate for
the presidency and once for the gov
ernorship of New York, he said he was
born in Taunton, Mass, Of Irish ana
English parentage. He was member

SMITH CO. DEFENSE
LIMITS TESTIMONY
Gets Ruling Holding Wit
neSSes of Government to
Statement of Facts.

An effort on the part of the Govern
ment to show that G. Ebert Anadale
purchased a RollS-Royce automobile
with $12,500 of F. H. Smith Co. funds
and a successful move by the defense
to exclude Interpretations" of technical
testimony by the prosecutions expert
accountants were outstanding develop
ments today in the trial in District
Supreme Court of three former Smith
Co: officers on conspiracy charges.
Counsel for the defendants, @. Bryan
Pitts, John H. Edwards, jr., and Ana
dale, attached much importance to the
ruling by Justice William Hitz that
Government. accountants would have
to testify to matters of record only
and could not explain these trans
actions. for the benefit Of the jury.
Explanations Are Barred.
Nugent Dodds, special assistant to the
Attorney General. had announced earlier
in the trial that Department Of Justice
experts would trace in detail each of
the IS alleged entertainments charged
to the defendants and then explained
these transactions In laymen's language
so they might be ineligible to the
jury. AS it stands now the accountants
may testify regarding the -depoSiting
and cashing of various checks, but they
cannot explain the significance Of these
matters
When Mr.. Dodds objected on the
ground that such procedure would not
enable the jury to understand the ma
ture of the transactions upon which the
Governments charges are based, Justice
Hitz replied that all interpretations of
testimony "are properly a function Of
counsel, not Of witnesses"
Charles T. Malone, an accountant of
the Bureau of Investigation, assigned to
work with Mr.. DoddS in the investiga-
ton, said that the transaction involv-
ing the purchase Of the Rolls-Royce
occurred in August, 1928.
Checks Are Mentioned.
On August 81 of that year, he said,
an item of $12,5O0 was charged to the
Smith Co. account in the Commercial
National Bank. The check upon which
this charge was based, he explained,
came in through the daily clearance,
having apparently been cashed at an
other bank. He then went on to show
that on the preceding day Anadale's
special account in the Merchants Bank
& Trust Co. was credited with $12,500.
On August %, he testified, this same
account shows q charge of $500,
based on q check of Anadale's made
payable to "Rolls-Royce Of America,
Inc"
When Malone undertook to interpret
these transactions for the benefit of the
Jury, Defense Counsel Frank @. Raichle

OPPOSITION SUGGESTED
IN CASE OF r. R. McNINCH
North Carolina Democrat Who
Fought Smith DisClaims Preju-

BY 6. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Hoover's recent appoint
ments to the Federal Waterpower Com
mission, the Tariff Commission and to
the ONCE of Secretary of Labor viii run
the gauntlet of the Senate and its
committees during the coming week.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee today decided to call before
it all i've Of the newly appointed COM
missioners Thursday morning. The
committee viii question each of the
appointees regarding his former con-
nections, particularly whether he has
in the past been connected with power
interests.
So far, the only suggestion Of OPP
uosition TO any of these appointments
ID to that of Frank r. McNinch OF
Charlotte, N. c. Mr.. McNinch headed
the anti-Smith Democratic organiza-
ton in North Carolina in 1928 which
made it possible for President Hoover
to carry that State. McNinch's ap-
pointment to the power commission
was made by President Hoover without
the solicitation of Mr.. McNinch, 1t was
declared today by Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina. Indeed, Senator SIM
mons, Senator Overman and members
Of the House delegation from North
Carolina had Endorsed another North
Carolinian, j. H. Bridges, some time
ago for this position.
McNinch Denies Power Connections.
Rurors that McNinch had been con-
nected with water-power interests
brought from him statement to SEN
ator Simmons which the latter trans
mitted to the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee today. Mr.. McNinch's
statement follows:
81 have never represented any power
company In my life in any manner
Whatsoever, nor have / ever had any
connection with any power company o.
any character whatsoever. OF course,
therefore, have not received at any
time In my life any fee or other benefit
from any power company.

have ever appeared in any matter IN
which any power company was con-
cerned was many years ago. when, As
