What, No Intellect

Count Hermann Keyserling is much admired by GER
tain lnteectuals and causes sensation whenever
pattudes issue from between his beautiful beard and
his lovely mustache; he is easily the most distinguished
looking foreign lecturer who has ever captured the
womens clubs of America. His delivery is superb and
he can spend charming hour telling you that the East
can learn from the West and the West can learn from
the East. But he has queer ideas of politics. He has
just announced his opposition to Herism in Germany
on the grounds that the Hitler party represents an
exceedingly and exclusive outlook the essence
OF which is hostility to intellect"
Count Keyserling held great landed estates in
the Baltic provinces and his estates are in the
realm of the mind Naturally he considers the latter
which he still possesses, more significant than
land and stables which he longer in fee simple
Yet the idea that friendship for the intellect is
sary element in political program is little too fan
tastic. Little l would like to burden the lecture
platforms of America, think the Count ought to
back to America this year and listen to political
speeches. We'd teach him the place of intellects in
politics.
Count Keyserng, or someone like him, with an
analytic mind and awfuly high ideals might take
the displeasing job of dissecting REORGANIZATION
speeches. l do not the few paragraphs in which
candidates actually say what they mean and create
party panks in advance of the platform-makers. l
the great bulk of the speeches in which candi-
dates jockey for position in which your opponent is
suddenly identified with the callous rich or with the
demagogic anarchists and in which you yourself stand
for harmony, cooperation and the Stars and Stripes
Studying these matters Count Keyserling might teach
few things in return for the lessons in practical
politics would be giving to him.

HEARING ON BUS
CRASH OPENS

An investigation into all phases
of bus operations by the two local
traction companies was launched
today at a public hearing by the
Public Utilities Commission as a
result of the bus crash on April
at Seventeenth Street and
Rhode Island Avenue Northwest
in which three persons were
killed.
Henry L. Reh, a cab driver,
who witnessed the fatal accident,
testified that the Washington
Railway & Electri Co. bus entered
the intersection on a red signal
light and crashed into the loaded
Capital Traction bus. He esti-
mated the speed of the former
vehicle at between 80 and IS
miles an hour.
Pictures introduced
Detective Sergeant John C. Dial
glish, of the homicide squad,
introduced pictures showing the
right side of the Capital Trac-
ton bus was torn completely
away as a result of the crash.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer informed the commission
that traffic regulations prohibit
vehicle entering an intersection
on any light other than the green.
He stated that his office was
now conducting a study to elimi-
nate cheating" at traffic lighted
intersections.
H. L. Dove, superintendent OF
the Washington Railway & Elec-
trio Co. bus operations, was then
called by Assistant Corporation
Counsel William A. Roberts.
He testified that before che of
his company's employees is per
mitted to drive a bus, he is given
thorough examination and
course of instruction by veteran
operators, himself and N. V.
Tavenner, the company's bus in
structor.
He estimated that a bus opera
tor is required to work 10 hours
as an average day, and agreed
that it would be advisable in the
case of heavy congested lines to
permit the operator to work only
eight hours.

Detectives Quiz Hundreds in
Quest of Clues; River Death
Remains a Mystery

Although 20 detectives have
been at work almost "a hours

Henry, local gambler, was put
on the spot last Thursday, po-
lice admitted today that they
were not near solution of
the crime.
Police also have been unsuccess.
full in determining the identity of
the murdered man whose gar
roted body was dragged from the
Potomac River on Friday.
Up Against Gangland
Inquests into the two deaths
probably will be held this week,
although if police develop any
sound in either case, the coroner'S
probes will be delayed.
Police admit that. in the Henry
investigation they are up against
the same wall of silence that al
ways confrontS the law in gang
killings. Several hundred persons,
most of them associates of Henry
or fellow-gamblers, lave been
quizzed, but none haS&siven the
police any information.
Lacking a better theory, the
police still are concentrating on
the belief that Henry was killed
by members of the Mickey Duffy
gang, with which John K. Ken
drick, Henry's jailed body guard,
was affiliated as a lieutenant.
Kendrick Re-questiOned
Kendrick has been repeatedly
questioned since Henry's death
but no information has been OBJ
tanned from him.
Police believe that the man
whose body was found in the
river was killed somewhere in
Virginia or Maryland and that
his body washed down on the crest
of high water.
Funeral services for Henry will
be held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock from the S. H. Hines
Company Funeral Home. Inter
ment will be held either in Fort
Lincoln Cemetery or in Balti-
more.
At the Henry home today, it
was stated that Mrs. Henry had
refused offers from Henry's asso-
CiateS to aid in defraying the
funeral expenses.
Negroes Body Found
Police were confronted with
another possible underworld crime
today when the body of an I'M
identified negro was found float
ing in the Potomac River.
A cursory examination revealed
that the man had several numbers
game slips in his pocket. The
body apparently had been in the
water three weeks or more. An
autopsy will be held this after
noon to determine the cause of
death.

He proposes that public utili-

eff you had done that, you
would have told the jury you
killed her, wouldn't yOu?"
Wimbley answered.:
eyes, I'd have admitted If 1
had been guilty of murder. I'd
have plead guilty."
In response to another question
of the prosecutor, Wimbley said
that he loved his wife as much or
more on the day she died than he
ever had.
Collins snapped;
"Why mOre?"
Dickerson's reply was:
Because 1 think as you live
together and become real bud

At one point in his testimony,
Wimbley admitted that he had

He also admitted that he had
taken out travellers insurance on

Wimbley, although already mar
ried, went through a marriage
