MACARTHUR SAYS
CLERGY BALK LAWS
General Sees Anti-Arms
Stand as Reputation of
Citizen Duty.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. chief Of
staff Of the Army, said in letter to-
day that the open opposition by clergy
men to bearing arms in war "appar-
emily stamps the clergyman as lead
ing exponent of law violation at indl-
vidual pleasure"
Replying to a request by Kirby Page
editor OF the magazine, the World To-
morrow, for his opinion regarding the eX-
pressions of clergymen on whether
they would bear arms in war, the gen.
eral pointed out that the questions of
war and peace rested with Congress and
any declaration of war voiced the will
of the people.
That men who wear the cloth of the
church should openly defend repudia-
necessary implications and ramifications
arising from such general attitude to-
ward our statutes seems almost unbe-
hevable," he said. Anomalous as it
seems, it apparently stamps the clergy
man as leading exponent of law vLo-
lation at individual pleasure"
Expresses Surprise.
my predominant feeling with refer
enca to the ma iority Of the replies re-
ceived by your paper from 1882 clergy
men is that of surprise" the general
said Surprise at the knowledge that
so many of the clergymen of our coun-
try have placed themselves on record as
repudiat ng in advance the conStitu-
tional obligations that will fall upon
them equally with all other elements
of our citizenship in supporting this
country in case of need.
ITO exercise privilege without assum-
ing attendant responsibility and obliga-
ton is to occupy a position of license.
a position apparently sought by men
who do not hesitate to avail themselves
of the privileges conferred by our
democracy upon its citizens. but who
in effect proclaim their Willingness to
see this Nation perish rather than par
ticipate in its defense"
The general added that the clergy
mems sentiments were injecting the
church into the affairs of state and
"endangering the very principle that
they claim to uphold"
Pastors Free Of Arms.
The terms of the Geneva convention
provided. he added, that chaplains were
non-ccmbatants and he expressed sur
prise that some had lost sight of the
fact that in none of Americas past
wars had clergymen been required to
bear arms.
THE fact that our Citizens Military
Training Camps" the general said in
conclusion, ARE over-subscribed long
before the opening of the camps, COM
forts me that patriotism is still domi-
nant power in our land.
Il confidently believe that a red
blooded and virile humanity which
loves peace devotedly, but is willing to
die in the defense of the right, is
Christian from center to circumference
and will continue to be dominant in
the future as in the past"

HARTMAN DENIES
IMPROPER SERVICE
Says Work for Railroad
While With !. C. c. Was
Known and Aboveboard.

Harleigh H. Hartman. vice chairman
day branded published account of his
relationship with the railroad inter-
ests while serving on the legal staff
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission
as an effort Ito discover a past trans
action in an attempt to defeat Senate
confirmation of his recent reappoint-
ment as a member of the commission.
According to the published data,
Hartman accepted fee and retainer
in 1925 from railroad interests while
still employed by the Interstate Gem
merce Commission in a case in which
the commission was opposing the rail-
road group retaining him.
It was said Hartman in 1925 was paid
$4,000 by a railroad valuation engineer
for the experience and data in track
valuation he acquired as lawyer for
the commission. While thus retained,
he continued to work for the commits
sion in a valuation case involving the
Great Northern Railroad
Alleged correspondence between Hart
man and Charles Hansel. the man who
retained him for$ the railroads. gave
ship between them.
Explains His Position.
In his statement today Mr.. Hartman
admitted that he accepted fee from
Hansel, head of a utilities engineering
firm, while with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, but said the COM
mission knew of the arrangement. He
also declared that his dual employment
did not cause him to slight either
client and pointed out that the Great
Northern case was probably more siren
uously prosecuted than any other valu-
alton case tried before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Hatrman's statement follows:
The newspaper article seems merely
to be an effort to discover a past trans
action in an attempt to defeat conflr-
nation.
1T is a fact that I accepted the fee
from Charles Hansel to work up track
laying and surfacing data which neces-
sarily involved the projects used by both
the commission and the railroads. The
work was merely cost analysis OF
those projects to iron out differences
in the way in which they were con-
strued by the two parties.
"On learning of the possibility OF this
outside employment. I at once notified
the commission of it's nature and of my
intent to resign and accept 1t. My
resignation was accepted on one months
notice. 1t Is fact that was at that
time asked by the commission to con-
tinue in its service as special counsel to
brief and argue the Great Northern case
for the commission. At the time. was
so retained it was known to the COM
mission that was to be employed by
Mr.. Hansel, and the salary was to re-

PLAN CLEAN SWEEP
OF OLD BUILDINGS
South Side of Pennsylvania
Avenue to Be Raced in
U. S. Program.

Plans for clean sweep of the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue from the
Capitol to the Treasury, with destruc-
ton of all old commercial structures
along this historic parade route before
the Washington Bicentennial celebra-
ton next year. were disclosed today by
the Treasury Department.
This campaign of demolition will
obliterate from the famous street not
only the old structures located in the
so-cslled Federal triangle, between Fiji
tenth and Sixth streets, but will wipe
out two more blocks known as rcserva-
tons A and B, located between Sixth
and Third streets. These reservations
are to be turned into public park and
included in the Mall.
Purchase Is Obstacle.
Success of such a sweeping program
of demolition depends somewhat upon
the progress made in obtaining prop
erty either by process of purchase or
condemnation. But the Government
has found that condemnation under the
new law is much speedier. Land can
be acquired, through the process Of
filing declaration of taking leaving
much detail of negotiations as to the
exact price of land to be carried on
after the Government has taken title
Virtually all of the Federal triangle
front on Pennsylvania avenue has been
acquired, with the exception of some
land between Sixth and Seventh streets,
where the new Coast Guard Building
is to be located. Large portions of res
crvations A and B, between Sixth street
and the Botanic Gardens at Third
street have already been purchased.
This work will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible in order to get the
new Washington ready for the enor-
nous crowds expected to pour into the
National Capital for the Bicentennial
next year.
Plan Wide Area.
AS a matter of fact, it is the hope
OF the Treasury to have everything be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall. between the Capitol and Fifteenth
street cleared away, so that ConStitu-
ton avenue also may give some promise
of what 1t will be in the future-the
great new ceremonial avenue of the
future.
One OF The striking changes TO be
wrought in the new Constitution ave
nue. is a new entrance into Pennsyl-
vania avenue through reservation B,
between Fourth street and Sixth street
At the present time Constitution avenue
runs into a dead end at Sixth street,
but buildings there are to be torn out
and the avenue cut through. wide and
straight into Pennsylvania avenue.
Speeding the building program for
