DRESSER SLAPS
 JUDGE WHO MADE
 IMMORAL CHARGE
While Denying in His Own Peculiar Way Any Guilt,
 He Asks Judge About His Own Morality

Baltimore, Md, Nov 12.-(UP)- Theodore Dreiser indicted by a Kentucky grand jury for alleged misconduct with a woman has de- nied the charge In an outspoken signed statement which contained an assurance of his unacceptable private morality"
 The charge. Dreiser asserted, was inspired by Judge D. c. Jones at Pineville to blind the American people to- cruelties in the Kentucky coal fields.
 'The first thing, before attempt ing to discuss any important eco- homie or social matter In Amer ica," the novelist's statement said, lis to assure or rather to convince yerybody--church and state alike -of your complete and unabridged personal sexual morality. Other wise you will not be able to get their minds off the matter and they cannot bring themselves to any serious mental attention. .
 .Such being the case, l am going to reassure all Americans of both sexes and all shades of color and belief of my unacceptable. private sexual morality.
 And how? By letting them in on a. very sad but rather reassur- ing truth. And that Is that l, at this writing, am completely and finally impotent. The fact that may; be seen here or there, on this or that occasion, talking, walking or dining with an attractive girl or woman means nothing more than d friendly and quite moral conversa- ton is being indulged in.
 Judge Jones is merely binding the minds of our very sensual citi- zens to the really dreadfully cruel and evil crimes that are being com mitted against the poorest and most underpaid and most long suf-' fering type of laborer, his wife. and child, that I have ever seen.
 The indictment of Dreiser and one Marie Pergain at Pineville fol- lowed. an investigation of condi- tions in the southeastern Kentucky coal fields by Dreiser and com mittee of writers.
 Dreiser vasserted that testimony of 40 of the .'most recent victims of this iocnl reign of terror againct the unions' revealed that author iti IS had fired upon workers. their wives and relatives, killing some; that miners soup kitchens were dynanited; that men had been ar rested and jailed for collecting food or money for starving miners.
 The testimony revealed further. Dreiser said. that deputies, armed with machine guns, tear gas bombs and the like. ransacked the cot tages of workers without warrants and jailed them without cause. They were released he said on thesr promise to quit the National Mine Workers or the Daily Worker.

,..-.t -,cw York in war time. Her enemies are inefiiciency and lazi- ness. One sign, posted every where, gives the numbers 4-5IS. That means Russia aims to com plete 518 new projects in four years, instead of five.
 A chart posted at every factory, school, min and farm has six fig- ures across it: A wireless set, an airplane, locomotive. a street car. a tortoise and a snail.
 Under these figures are such slogans: Are you a snail in in pro- duction? The country needs work CTS swift as the wireless!"
 Some factories list their workers under the figure that approximates their speed. Some make slow workers receive their pay at dit- ferent windows fro mthe fast workers. .,' z
 Everywhere there are limitations of America, for Russia apes our l. echanical skill. while despising our system of private ownership. Communism crowned with Ameri. can efficiency is her goal. The new factories are being built in part by American engineers and America n mechanics run the tractors on the big cooperative farms.

If you lived in Russia, nowhere would you see any counterpart of the American business man. No one in Russia is rich. There is no Wall street, no private banks. no private employers who hire thou sands of workers.
 One day walked into one of th . biggest clothing factories and asked to see the manager. He was an earnest young communist working man, in a gray cotton Russian blouse, patched shoes, his office was small and unpretentious, his desk was a small table. He introduced me to the shop chair-lady who had an office next to his.
 "We run the factory. as part of the Natinoal Clothing Trust" he said, simply. "The workers and the state decide what wages anu prices shall be. All workers belong to labor unions. There are no pri- vate capitalists.

TAKOMA PARKS
POLICE COURT
ATTACKED
Traffic Law VioIator'S Laws
yers Declare Tribunal
Unconstitutional

Takoma Park, Md, may
learn today whether it has a
police court or whether it just
thinks it has.
If the other cases can be dis
posed of in time, Judge Robert
B. Peter, sitting in the Circuit
Court, at Rockville, will pass upon
the constitutionality of this court.
The question arose when attor-
neys brought a petition for q
writ of habeas corpus on behalf
of Reuben D. Day convicted by
Judge A. L. Wilson in Takoma
Park Police Court of driving
while drunk. Day was committed
to the county Jail December 2.
The petition was presented on
the grounds that the constitution
of Maryland vests judicial powers
only in the Court of Appeals, the
Circuit Courts, the Orphans
Court and justices of the peace
and therefore the act of the Leg
iSlature authorizing the Governor
to appoint a police justice" for
Takoma Park is unconstitutional.
The outcome of this proceeding
will have great bearing on all
cases involving Judge Wilson'S
decision.

TOWN COUNCIL
WARS ON VICE

A drive on gambling dens and
amusement places that stay open
to an unreasonable hour, catering
to disorderly crowds, was institu-
ted last night by the mayor and
town council of Hyattsville, Md.
Chief of Police Albert Anderson
was ordered to take stringent
measures in an effort to clean
up" the town. An ordinance re-
quiring all dance halls, pool-rooms
restaurants and places of business
to close by l a. m. on week nights
and by midnight on Saturday, is
being prepared by Caesar L. Aiello,
town council. This ordinance
will supplement a State closing
law already in effect.
Aiello was directed to take up
with the State Roads Commission
a town application for five feet
of the States right-of-Way on
Rhode Island Avenue west Of
Hyattsville proper. The town pro-
poses to lay a sidewalk along
Rhode Island Avenue to the town
limits if a right-of.way can be
obtained.
The council passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the establish
ment of any "abattoir, soap or
candle factory, bone-boiling. meat
roasting. barbecue or other estab-
lishment whereby offensive or
disagreeable or unhealthy odors
are generated"

SKI GIRL ABANDONS BABY
May C|edhiII Goes
Home to Canada
With Mother

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Beauti-
full May Gledhill, central figure
in one of the strangest of marital
triangles, has agreed to renounCe
her love child and return alone
under an assumed name-to her
native Canada.
Still confined to Nassau County
Hospital as a result of the break
down which followed threats of
deportation for moral turpitude,
the "Ski Girl'' finally gave her
consent today to the proposal.
The moving figure has been
her mother, Mrs. Anne Peel Gled-
hill. of Westmount, quebec, who
has been an almost daily visitor
at the hospital. Mrs. Gledhill, a
relative of Sir Robert Peel, plans
to reclaim her daughter into the
home life she gave up for William
Ernest Conner. her now impris-
oned' betrayer. Mrs. Gledhill
said:
"Mav will return with me.
She will live near me under an
assumed name until this epi.
SOde in her life is forgotten.
Then she will rejoin the family
and begin life over again."
The child will be placed in a
home.
