THREE GET PRISON
TERMS IN LOTTERY
Mann, Past President oil
Eagles, Given Five Months
and $4,000 Fine.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 9.-Conrad
H. Mann, president of the Kansas City
Chamber Of Commerce and Missouri
chairman of the Presidents Unem-
ployment Commission, was sentenced to
five months in prison today for VIOLA
ton Of Federal lottery laws in the pro-
motion Of Embarrassing enterprise for
the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Bernard C. MCGUIRE, professional
! promoter, was sentenced to serve one
year and one day and to pay fine
OF $4,000. Frank E. Herring, trustee
OF Notre Dame University and editor
Of the Eagles Magazine, called least
culpable' by the court, was sentenced
to serve four months.
Mann was also fined $4,000. Herring
must pay $4,000 in addition to serving
in prison.
Sentences Stayed 10 Days.
Judge Frank j. Coleman imposed the
sentences and stayed their execution
for 10 days. In the meantime attorneys
Will apply for bail in the Circuit Court
OF Appeals. Pending that the defend
ants are in technical custody of their
counsel.
The court denied a number of mo-
tions to stay judgment to set aside the
verdict and to grant new trial. When
he pronounced the sentences he said:
Il will say this for the defendants-I
believe that the lottery was honestly
conducted"
After sentence had been pronounced,
Ottinger's firm issued this statement:
In due course our clients will appeal
to the Circuit Court of Appeals and
thereby obtain review of certain i'm
portant questions of law presented by
the record in this case The statute in
VOWED is one OF narrow application i'm
putting no moral dereliction to its vio-
lators. Its constitutionality was upheld
by divided court only after prolonged
delloeration in the So-called lottery
case, and no court of appellate juris-
diction has ever held that it applied to
case such as this.
"No Element Of Fraud"
There is no element of fraud, con-
cealment or overreaching in the case,
and 1t Is undisputed that a sum sub
stantially in excess of 100000 found
its way into the treasures of 879 aeries
OF tne FTdLernal OrOer OF Eagles 1Or the
various charitable activities of the order.
The Embarrassing campaign sponsored
by the defendants involved large out
lays of cash and. large commitments of
credit before any returns were or could
be realized The risk of loss assumed
by the defendants was great, and 1t is
inconceivable that the risk would have
been undertaken had it not been for the
existence of the contracts OF 1926, out
of which arose the obligation to conduct
such affairs for the benefit Of the aerias
and without loss to the aeries."
In pleading for mercy for his clients,
Ottinger told the court that this is, at
best, a technical crime" Finally" he
went on, II would ask your honor to

DUTIES TO BE
CENTRALIZED
Proposal WillLessen
Implications of
Effort.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

President Hoover'S reorganiza-
ton plan, sent to Congress today,
has three important steps.
First, he groups together under
one responsible head various scat
tered agencies which have a
common major function or pur-
pose.
Second, he directs that re-
sponsible head to proceed toward
efficient coordination and con-
solidation within department,
where there can be a more busi-
ness-like reorganization.
Third, he creates a stronger
Budget Bureau with undiSputed
authority to guide and assist in
such reorganization, and in a
larger way work for coordination
throughout the entire Government
service.
His program Is not based pri-
marily on economy or the 1op-
ping off of agencies, but aims at
good administration which will
naturally bring about greater eff
cheney and economy.
He does away with a number of
commissions by the simple pro-
cedure of transferring their duties
to a particular administrative Of
flcer and leaving them In an ad-
visory capacity, where they are
seldom If ever likely to be called
upon. He does specifically recon-
mend to Congress abolishing GER
tain agencies created by act of
Congress.
Accounting Office Hit.
While there are many shifts from one
department to another, probably the
most severe cut of all is given to the
General Accounting Office, which is
stripped of all but its distinctive func-
tion-"for auditing all receipts and ex-
penditure accounts in an establishment
that is independent of all Others" The
President points out that the wording
OF the act has been interpreted to per-
NIT the General Accounting Office to
extend its powers and duties into the
field of administration in the several
departments and establishments of the
Government to an extent that Is far be-
yond its primary function.
The need for logical grouping of
governmental units with the same ma
lor functions and purposes has been

Hoover Cabinet Gets
Laugh When Asked
To Look Cheerful
BY the Associated Press.

President Hoover and his cab
met today enjoyed a laugh at
their own expense.
The President and his aides
posed on the White House lawn
for the last cabinet picture Of his
administration. The group gazed
with studied mien while camera
shutters clicked continuously.
Suddenly there came a call
from the photographers:
Can you look cheerful this
time?"
The cabinet relaxed in laugh
ter-and put on less serious ex-
pressions. The photograph was
the first taken since Mills and
Chaplin became Secretaries.

MERGER APPROVAL
BY CONGRESS SEEN
Leaders of Both Parties
Expect No Action to
Hinder Plan.

Republican and Democratic leaders
predicted today that most of the Gov
eminent reorganization program recon-
rnended by President Hoover would 60
into effect automatically at the end OF
the 60-day period prescribed by law.
Congress must take affirmative action
to halt the program and with the
calendar of business already filled II
appeared unlikely that any of the pro-
positions could be stopped.
Robinson Foresees O. X.
"The Indications" said Senator Rob-
inson, Of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader, "are that those provisions not
requiring legislation will go into effect
at the end Of the 60-day period pre-
scribed by law. Necessarily those fea-
lures of the program requiring legisla-
ton will involve consideration by the
committees having jurisdiction"
Senator Byrnes, of South Carolina,
a Democratic member of the Special
Economy Committee, termed the pro-
gram merely shutting Of bureaus
that seems doubtful even Of promoting
efficiency, let alone economy"
1T appears" he said, that the only
activities to be abolished are the Rock
Creek Park Commission and the board
Of trustees of the National Training
School"
Approval Expected.
Senator Pat Harrison Of Mississippi
expressed the opinion that the
Presidents recommendation for the re-
organization of the Federal depart
ments would become effective. He
pointed out that only an act of Con-
gress turning down the Presidents pro-
posal could halt them.
Chairman Cochran said the House
Expenditures Committee would meet
Immediately" to consider the proposals

A Congress resolute in its determina-

Great Britain today for what that ma

willingness to accept any new form Of
war debt payments as suggested by
Secretary Of State Stimson.

Stimson said he was confident" that
Congress would be willing to consider
any reasonable suggestion" from that
government which would make it easier
to remit the $95,550,000 due then.
Soon after the United States note to
Great Britain was made public last
night, Secretary Stimson handed to
Ambassador Paul Claudel Of France

Poland Repeats Request.
Later, Poland, in another note to this
Government, today repeated its re-
quest for postponement of the S443O,-

tailed statement Of the country'S un-
satisfactory economic position.
The note was presented to Secretary
Stimson this morning by Ambassador
Filipowicz.
Poles have not forgotten American
assistance in advancing credit for the
necessary staples of life after the World
War. the note said, and the govern

country on a sound and permanent

American capital was of the greatest

ready to do its utmost to meet its obli-

the December IS payment be post
