BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, Pa, June %,
The highest court in the land yeSter-
day refused to order the release from
jail of G. Bryan Pitts, former head OF
the F. H. Smith Co, Supreme Court
Justice Pierce Butler holding, after q
hearing here. that he was without juris-
diction in the case.
Holding court behind a card table on
the broad veranda of his Summer home
overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Justice Butler listened to the pleas OF
Pitts attorneys and then announced
he had no more authority in the case
than the mayor of Marlboro" land
Marlboro has no mayor.
Release Is Sought.
Counsel for Pitts, who was convicted
in December of a conspiracy to en-
bezzle funds and destroy records OF the
Smith company. were seeking MS re-
lease from the District Jail pending APP
peal of his conviction.
Following the return of the verdict
by the trial jury, Pitts was committed
to Jail by Justice William Hitz who
was sustained in this course by the
Court Of Appeals.
The attorneys Dozier De Vane, Wilton
J. Lambert and Leon Tobriner, argued
that a justice Of the Supreme Court had
authority in any offense not involving
capital punishment to order the release
of a prisoner on bond unless the prose-
cution could advance valid reasons for
his incarceration.
Question Court Right.
Counsel for the Government-As-
sistant Attorney General Nugent Dodds
and Neil BurkinShaw, special assist

Butler to act and held further that
the release of Pitts at this time might
interfere with the administration OF
justice.

jr.. and S. Ebert Anadale, both Of
whom are now serving penitentiary
-purporting to show that
some of the documentary evidence in
troduced at the trial in Pitts behalf
had been fraudulently prepared.
These documents were las authori-
zations and receipts for money claimed
by the Government to have been en-
bezzled. but which Pitts said he had
taken properly. The affidavit of Ed
wards said he lad prepared and ante
dated the papers at Pitts direction.
and that a number of them had been
executed by Emory L. Coblentz, Fred
erick Md, banker.
The Government counsel also charged
that Pitts had attempted to hide an
important witness prior to the trial
and that he had invested several mil
lion dollars" in foreign bonds.
In his decision, Justice Butler did
not 60 into the merits of the appli-
cation, however. He simply held that
he was not AFFILIATED with the courts
of the District where the case is now
pending, and that. inasmuch as there
was no case before him, he could not
act.

some previous remarks he had made
concerning the futility Of recruiting a
crew capable Of sailing the old frigate.
He adhered to his original objection to
the plan, however, on the ground that
the ship could not maintain her sched-
ule or port arrivals unless she Is towed
by tug.
"Of course" Jahncke stated, there
are today American seamen who can
handle the fine old frigate under sail.
In the Navy itself we have officers who
sailed our square rugged training ships,
A crew made up from our own enlisted
personnel could take the ship wherever
ships can be sailed"
Bloom is understood to be prepared
to meet every objection which might
be raised against the commissions sug-
geetion. He will be. armed with data
to bolster bis Arguments.

Has The Turn Come?

rThoro s = different tone noticeable in the con-

Instead of wondering how much deeper into the lin
ancial hole the country was going to get more peo-
pie are expressing confidence Cnat business IS golns

This is a very hopeful sign. The principal trouble
with the general situation lately has been lack OF con-
fdence on the part Of those who have money. Iney
have been unwilling to spend their money, to lnVesC
it where it would be doing usefuB work. because OF the
feeling that perhaps, after all, prices had not yet
touched bottom That has been one serious drawback
to speeder recovery and another has been the TACT
that great many banks and financial institution, per
fectly sound in the long run, have had 50 much OF
their depostors' money tied up in securities Which
cannot quickly be realized on that they have been u
able to extend the lines of credit which absolutely
necessary for the normal course OF business.
We think Mr.. Hoover did perhaps the Wsest
thing that he has done in his career as President,
when he called leading bankers into conference and
with their assistance worked out plan Tor proVldng
credit beyond what the banks extend. And in calling
in leaders of both parties in Congress to reassre the
country that this project not partisan bid tor
popularity but genuine patriotic effort to save the
nation from worse trouble, he acted with breadth
of view which must meet the approval of people OF all
parties
It looks at this time as if the S5OOOOO,OOO credit
which the bankers committee under the Hoover
plan has arranged for would turn the trick 1t GER
tany has given the country at LARGE better feel
ing While it cannot the nature OF things start all
the factory wheels turning instantly and put every
hov back to work at once it ought to speed up the
resumption of industrial operations very materially.

Hundreds of sections of rock wool,
one inch thick, were laid on the steel
framework that supports the roof,
making a blanket more than $4,000
square feet in area. The blanket acts
like a collision mat which gives
sounds soft place to land instead
of humping them around the arena
until they die natural death.
Tests then showed that with an
audience present the reverberation
time had been cut in half. which was
considered the proper period for the
Garden. An audience itself absorbs
much sound and allowance was made
for this effect in the original calcu-
lations.

The Deacon And The Frog

great many people we know remind us Of the
frog that Charles F. Kettering chief research engine
er of General Motors, told about the other day.
A deacon was his way to church one Sunday
morning. dressed in his best and with his shoes nicely
polished, when he heard his named called from a
mudhole near the roadside. Down in the hole was a
big bullfrog.
sI have been in here three days. said the frog
without anything to eat, and | wish you would help
me out"
The deacon looked at the mud and looked at his
shiny shoes and remembered that he had to pass the
collection plate in church, he replied: I'm sorry
old man, | can't help you now, but my way back
from church I'll give you lift out of the hole"
AS he came back from church the deacon was
surprised to find the frog sitting in the middle OF the
road, contentedy swapping at flies
II thought wou said you couldn't get out of that
hole," said the deacon.
Il thought couldn't either, until snake came
along and just had to get out," replied the frog.
Lots Of people are discovering these days that
they can do things they didn't think they could do
Under the pressure of necessity every of us
accomplish the impossible. In good times nobody
uses more than fraction of his ability and resource
fulness. But when the snake of hard times comes
long just have to get out of hole, and like the
frog in Mr. Ketterngs story, find some way to do
what we didn't believe we could do
It is a good thing for humanity that life is not
always pleasant and easy Intelligence, ability and

De HART IS J|NX
To MARYLAND

Jimmy DeHart, who coached
the foot ball teams at Washing
ton and Lee some years back
that proved such a jinx to Mary
land, hopes to show his "old
hand" in the Old Liners home
coming day tilt at College Park
Saturday.
Teams under DeHart's tutelage
proved the nemesis of the Old
Liners, and it was not until he
went to Duke to coach that Mary
land was able to call a halt on
Washington and Lees run of four
straight wins. With DeHart else
where the Old Liners won in 1928
and 1880, there being no game
in 1929.
MarylanderS Uneasy
Now DeHart is back on the
job at Lexington after giving
Duke some successful foot ball
for several years and Maryland
folk are wondering whether he is
going to invade College Park
Saturday with a lot of black cats,
rabbits feet and other charms
to jinx Curley Byrd's charges.
DeHart needed a little time
this fall to get his bearings and
the Generals, who did not show
any too well in the early stages
OF the campaign, now have
absorbed his style of play to such
an extent that they are playing
real foot ball. And he has a
good bunch of material with
which to work.
Secuted BY Macker
Maryland scouts who have seen
the Generals in action in their
last two games saw nothing in
their play to indicate that the
team was weak. AS Roy Mack.
ert, Old Line scout put it:
"They are big and fast and
DeHart is a good coach. What
more would you want?"

is putting in some stiff licks for
