Straint.'
The visits of Premier Laval and

Barbour has Just been getting
acquainted thus far. Yesterday he
called on President Hoover. The
President save him approximately
three minutes. Barbour came out Of
the White House smiling, said he
had been glad to see Mr.. Hoover,
slowly loaded a pipe witt tobacco
ana strobe away.
The preceding day he had the
honor of being sworn in as a SEN
ator with Mrs. Hattie CaraWay, tho
first woman to become a really
active member of the senate. His
powerful voice and solid stature
were quite different from the quiet
lady from Arkansas.
Barbour cast his first vote as q
regular. When his name was called
on the balloting for president pro
tenn Of the senate he doomed out a
vote for Moses. indicating he vas
not joining with those whom Moses
called sons of the wild jackass."
Mrs. Caraway. incidentally. was
late for her first vote. She got it
in, however, on the same ballot as
Barbour, voting for Pittman against
Moses when the clerk called over
the list Of those absent on the first
call.
Barbour not only is a powerfully
built man, but in his younger days
he made use Of his great weight
and strength. He is a former cham.
pion amateur heavyweight boxer OF
America. He always has liked prize
fighting and was the timekeeper ct
Toledo when Jack Dempsey won
the worlds heavyweight crown from
Willard back in 1919.
He wears dark clothes, q derby
hat and smokes q pipe.
There are other athletes among
the newcomers at the capitol. Rep
resentative Joseph B. Shannon,
Democrat from the fifth Missouri
district, prides himself on his hug,'
biceps. He got them, he says, as
a lad Of 13 setting pins in a bowl
ing alley in a St. Louis beer garden.
Now at the age of 81 he likes to
raise himself a foot off his chair
by taking hold of the chair arms
and simply flexing his bicepS.
Shannon doesn't believe in shak-
ing hands, although he does it
sparingly as a concession to his con-
stituents. He says it's unhealthy.

His message also briefly surveyed

Regarding the forthcoming dis

The burden of taxes to support
armament is greater today than be-

instability of the world is definitely
due in part to this cause, and the
fears which these huge armaments

CALLS DENISON
BOOZE DEFENSE
FAIRY STORY
U. S. Attorney LaShes at
Ex-CongreSsman's Tale
of Liquor Trunk.
Unitsd presa

By UHited Press
WASHINGTON. March 13.-
Former Representative Edward E.
Denison's defense in his trial on
charges Of possessing liquor in his
rooms in the house Office building,
was characterized by the govern
n1ent today as "a fine fairy story"
/ Denison, Illinois Republican, had
insisted the trunk containing liquor
that was sent to his Office was not
his.
He claimed that baggage became
mixed on his return from Panama
in 1929 and his own trunk, contain
ing China and glassware, was sent
to st. Louis.
John j. Sirica, assistant district
attorney, summed up the govern
ment's case.
Regardless Of the fact that the
defendant was q member OF con-
gress," he said, this case is no
different from any other criminal
case.
why did Denison put glasses,
china and other breakable ma
terialS in boxes and barrels, care
fully packed, and then carelessly
pack additional china in trunk?
Or did he buy the trunk for the
purposes of conveying liquor?
why should any trunk be sent to

BONUS WORTH
MILLION GIVEN
TOBACCO HEAD
Minority Stockholders Con-
testing Payments
to Executives.

NEW YORK, March IS. -, The
latest member to be admitted into
the ranks of the country's millions
dollar-a-year executives is George
w. Hill, president of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company.
According to the company's
e employees stock subscription plan
for 1884, issued Thursday, Hill re-
ceived stock valued at 81, 275, 900 dur
ing 1890, in addition to his cash
salary, which was not given.
The American Tobacco Company
established new all-tirne record in
profits last year.
Minority stockholders of the to-
bacco company are contesting the
large bonuses given to officials of
the company through sale of stock
to them at prices under the prevail
ing market.
Supreme Court Justice Townley
Thursday ruled that stockholders of
the company have right to know
all the details of the plan of di-
reetors to sell $4,000 shares of newly
created Glass B stock to officers and
employees at $25 a share, although
the stock now has market value Of
$3.50 a share.
Richard Reid Rogers, attorney
for the minority stockholders, con-
tended that the action amounts to
giving the officers and employees a
bonus of $30,OO0,oCO or more, and
said that stockholders were in
duced to consent to the increase in
the capital stock last July from
100000 to 100000 by an extra
dividend Of 81 on the old stock,
which he viewed as "bribe."

FIRED AT AS
RULE GAINING
IN FACTORIES
Discrimination Is Found
Almost Universal
in Survey.

By Scripps-HowGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Al-
though the tendency to discard fac
tory workers at the arbitrary indus
trial dead line of as years has been
observed for more than a decade,
the fill force of the movement only
rece atty has been measured.
IN a statewide industrial sur
vey, which covered some 058 estab-
hshments of all sorts, j. Knox In
sley, labor commissioner of Mary
land, found the discrimination
against older men almost universal.
Whereas in 1920 about 24.5 per
cent Of all male factory workers
were between the ages of as and
IS, the number had dropped to 1877
per cent by 1880. A little more than
81 per cent of all male workers last
year were between 10 and As.
The American Federation of Labor
vigorously has resisted such dis
elimination since 1925, but their
campaign, supported by the federal
department of labor, has not made
great Roadway.
In tho'~ answers to the Maryland
survey, industrial managers most
frequently listed compensation in
surance costs as the factor causing
elimination of older workers.
Men above As are more likely to
figure in plant accidents, or to suffer
long illness. Older men also were
found to tire more easily under high
speed operations.
Young men, on the other hand,
display greater adaptability to
varied tasks, figure in fewer acct
dents and lose less time because Of
illness.
The Maryland survey disclosed
that one-tenth of the number of
plants covered. which employed
about a third of all the workers in
volved, either hr fixed age limits
of employment or we'll established
policies favoring younger men in all
departments.
