Harm to Country.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Rainey OF illinois,
House Democratic leader. today wrote
Nicholas Murray Butler that the letter
he and the other prominent men sent
to leaders In Congress urging them TO
lay aside partisanship to balance the
budget "is doing a great deal Of harm" !"
Alfred E. Smith was among those
who signed the letter, which was ad-
dressed originally to Representative
Crisp Of Georgia as the Democratic
leader in the House instead Of to
Rainey. Senators Watson and Robin
son, Republican and Democratic lead
ers in the Senate. previously have pro-
tested against the communication say
ing partisansh'p already has been dis
regarded on the fiscal legislation.
Rainey informed Butler In part:
II have never heard of any partisan
ship in considering the budget balanc-
ing bill. As q matter Of fact, I have
received letters from all over the coun-
try addressed to me as leader Of the
Eouse of Representatives protesting
most vigorously against the policy OF
acting with the administration and the
Republican party in the matter of bal
ancing the budget, but Notwithstanding
these protest. We have continued the
policy of keeping partisanship entirely
out OF it,
Your communication has been given
wide publicity. and in view OF the un-
rest in the country today 1t is doing a
great deal Of harm, in my judgment,
am beginning to hear from it. 1t has
simply served to fan the fires OF dis
content which are starting in almost
every section of the country"

non at Ashton Heights.
BY stafg Correspondent of The star.

ASHTON HEIGHTS. Va. May as
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Magruder. member Of
the County Board, and Mrs. Florence
E. Cannon. Arlington civic worker, met
in debate last night before the Ashton
Heights Woman's Club on the Byrd
road plan, Mrs. Magruder favoring the
withdrawal OF the county and Mrs.
Cannon advocating its remaining in the
new secondary highway system. as pro-
vided by the plan.
Mrs. Cannon declared that the rea-
sons advanced for withdrawal are theo-
retical in every respect and do not
definitely establish the fact that Arling-
ton County would not benefit.
Favors Capitalization.
In answer to the claims that the To-
cal board and county manager would
be deprived Of much Of their authority,
and that there is no guarantee that the
county will receive sufficient amount
OF money from the State to properly
maintain her roads. Mrs Cannon de-
clared that any system that will cen
tralize purchasing power should be
looked upon with favor by both officials
and citiz. MS and that the local officials
should be glad to be relieved of a re-
sponsIbihty when they alIeady have
more than they can do
Mrs Magruder declared that the plan
will probably be of advantage to the
rural counties, but expressed the opin-
ion that Arlington County cannot bene-
fit, because OF her urban problems. She
objected to the Capitalization of power
in the State Highway Commission, espe-
cially in view of the fact that the
county now has county manager
whose authority should not be curtailed
by relinquishing his powers to the State
engineer.

DECISION DELAYED
IN ASSAULT TRIAL
Attorneys for Three D. c.
Youths Protest Use OF Con-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, May 25-On an
indictment charging them with assault
with intent to rob, three young Wash
ingtonians-Charles Crist. 10. of 234
street northwest: James Melvin
Brown. 10. of 463 G street northwest,
and Stanley Upton Selby, 20, OF 1884
E street southeast-Were tried before
Judge Robert B. Peter in the Circuit
Court here yesterday.
Decision was deferred to enable the
attorneys for the defendants to file a
brief setting forth their reasons why
alleged confessions of the trio. upon
which the prosecution largely based its
case, should not have been admitted as
evidence.
The specific charge against the youths
was that the night of February II on
the Conduit road they, at the point OF
a revolver, attempted to rob man and
woman, unknown to the authorities,
who were occupying an automobile
parked alongside the road. 1t was in
dicated by the alleged confessions, how
ever. that the boys got the worst of the
undertaking when the woman opened
fire, Wounding both Brown and Crist.
Failure Of the man and woman to
disclose their identity and make their
testimony available proved big handi-
cap to the prosecution and made ad-
mission OF the confessions absolutely
necessary to conviction. Use of the
statements was fought on the ground
that the corpus delicti had not been
proven.
Judge Peter expressed the hope that,
should his decision be adverse to the
defendants, the case be taken to the
Court of Appeals but was advised that
the youths were not financially able to
have the higher court pass upon the
important point raised
The defendants were represented by
Attorneys j. Wilson Ryon of Washing
ton and Robert Peter. jr., and Walter
W. Dawson of Rockville. States At
torney Stedman Prescott conducted the
prosecution.
