FACE QUIZ ON
PARTY PLOT
Mayor Appears Undaunted BY
RooSeveIt's Refusal to
Dismiss Charges

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 20
IN.S.).-First witnesses in
behalf of Mayor James j.
Walker in his battle against
removal from office will be
summoned to the witness chair
Monday afternoon when the
custer hearing is resumed be-
fore Gov. Franklin D. Roose.
welt.
Monday forenoon Walkers
counsel, John j. Curtin, will go
into Supreme Court and argue
in support of the mayors petit
ton that under the Constitution
the governor has no legal au'
thority to remove him.
Walker Undaunted
Mayor Walker apparently was
undaunted by the reverse he
sustained late yesterday when
Governor Roosevelt denied mo-
tions to dismiss the IS removal
charges filed by Samuel Seabury,
counsel for the Hofstadter Leg
islative committee.
A grim smile was Walkers only
reaction to the governors ruling,
made after Curtin had argued for
almost two days in behalf of the
motion to dismiss the charges.
There was no session of the.
public hearing today. The gov.
ernor is in Columbus, Ohio, to-
make a political address this af'
ternoon.
Seabury has departed for his
home on Long Island for the
weekend and Mayor Walker is
planning to go to the estate Of
his friend, A. C. Blumenthal,
theatrical man, at Larchmont,
N. Y.
G. O. P. Leaders Called
Subpoenaes have been issued
at the request of Curtin for %
witnesses. They include eight Re
publican State leaders, one Of
whom is w. Kingsland Macy.
They are alleged to have been
involved in the events leading up
to the initiation of the Hof',
stadter investigation.
Friends of Mayor Walker have
charged that the Hofstadter in
quiry was a political plot"
The mayors counsel fought
hard yesterday to induce Cover
nor Roosevelt to throw out the
Seabury charges. He wound up
his argument with this statement:
you have heard the testi-
mOny of the mayor on every
charge that has been pre-
sented. He has met each of
them by a very clear, full, and
1 may say vigorous examination
conducted by your excellency."

Japan Called Menace
To World Peace

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass, Aug.
20 G.N.SD.-Henry Kittredge Nor
ton, economist told the Institute
OF Politics today that if Japan is
successful in accomplishing her
ends in Manchuria, she will sue
ceed only at the expense of deal
ing such a blow to the worlds
peace machinery that it may be
unable to protect her against the
attack which she processes to fear
from the direction of either the
United States, China, or Russia.
He implied the military leaders
of Japan must feel Supremely con-
fident as their present actions in
dicate they consider themselves
powerful enough to deal with the
United States, China or Russia.
By her bold invasion of the
Asiatic continent and carefully
laid campaign of occupation,
Japan has reduced her plea of
Self-defense to an absurdity, he
charged.

.B| BOARD WINS
EAGLE DEBATE

When a statement was made by
a scientific body that the eagle
designed on those new Bicenten-
nial quarters is not the real bald
or American eagle, r. Bruce HorS'
fall. famous painter of wild life,
at the request of the Bicentennial
Commission examined the quarter
with a magnifying glass. He
found all the characteristics of a
bald eagle. He said:
"And make no mistake about
it, for the eagle has the bare
tarSuS of that bird. The tarsus
is that part of the leg between
the toes and the heel, not the
part commonly thought of by
nOn-OrnithOlOgists as the knee.
"The long thigh feathers often
cover most of the leg just as
shown on the new quarter. The
tarSuS of the golden eagle,
which critics declared was the
design on the quarter, has short
dOwny feathers down to the
division of the toes. So rest
assured, for it is our own Amer
lean eagle"

HUGE TAX BOOST
SEEN BY KING

Additional taxes of $3.50, ,OOO,-
900 and slash in expenditures
of $750,0OO,0OO must be made to
meet an indicated deficit of
$4,000, 100000, Senator King DO
of Utah declared today.
King is a member of the Sen
ate Finance Committee and based
his estimate on reports of tax
collections for the last part of
June-the first report since the
passage of the new tax measure.
A considerable upturn in buSi-
ness would reduce these figures
proportionately, King said. He
saw room for Government econo-
mics in the Agriculture and
Treasury departments mainly.
However, King believes bust
ness is now at its lowest ebb, and
any change will be for the better.
