HENDERSON ESTATE
FIGHT IS REOPENED
Collectors File Application to
Court for Additional Fee
of $4,000.

(From the $40 Edition Of Yesterdays Star)
The District Supreme Court today was
asked to take q hand in the final settle
ment Of the estate of Mrs. Mary r.
Henderson, dominant figure in WASH
ington society before her death.
The matter came into court on the
application of Ralph Flehart and H. L.
Rust, collectors for the estate. for an
additional fee of $40, 900 for their serv-
have already been paid $4,000, coun-
sci for other persons interested in the
estate opposed payment Of the addi-
tional fee.
1t was alleged that the collectors
have declined to turn over the estate
to George Edelin,, who has qualified as
executor until their fee has been paid.
Counsel for those who would benefit
in a settlement Of the estate point out,
however, that pending suit for an ac-
counting of the estate leaves doubt as
to just what property finally will be
left in 1t. In any event, 1t was said.
no fee can be paid by the executor
until the estate has been turned over to
him.
II was also pointed out as an argu-
ment for speedy action that a note for
$40. 900 and taxes must be paid in the
near future.
Justice Daniel ODonoghue declined
to direct the collectors to turn the
estate over to Mr.. Edelin,. i was tndi-
Gated this matter would be held in
allegiance until the suit for accounting
has been settled. The court held the
application for the additional fee would
also have to await disposition OF the
accounting suit.
Mrs. Henderson's will disinherited
Mrs. Beatrice Wholean, who had long
been known in local social circles as
her granddaughter. A contest over the
will developed, but the dispute was SET
tied out Of court several weeks ago.

BAR SHUNS STAND
ON ROVER'S PLACE
Opposed to Indorsing Any
Candidate-SeIecti0n
Left to Roosevelt.

With q resolution refusing to indorse
any candidate or group of candidates.
the District Bar Association last night
cleared the way for President Roosevelt
to appoint whatever suitable man he
may choose as district attorney.
After spirited debate, the association
by viva voce vote decided to recon-
mend only the type OF man needed as
prosecutor here.
The President was urged only to ap-
point practicing member Of the local
bar "cognizant through experience with
the problems that will confront him in
Office" The fight for adoption of the
resolution was led by Daniel S. Ring,
young Democratic attorney.
Urged Secret Ballot.
Henry I. Quinn was spokesman for
the faction that wanted one secret
ballot Of Endorsement for one individual
candidate.
Debate centered around the question
whether the ONCE of district attorney
is q political plum" to be awarded
some active Democrat regardless Of in
dorsements or whether the Bar Asso-
citation should be entitled to q voice in
the selection.
Last Tuesday night at q regular meet
ing the association had adopted reso-
lutions asking the President to postpone
appointment Of q district attorney until
the special meeting Of the legal frater-
nifty last night, when, it was said, one
name or group Of names might be sug-
geSted to him.
Rover Commended.
The plan to seek Endorsement OF sew
eral candidates was first put forward by
George c. Gertman, veteran secretary
Of the association, who urged that the
selections be made through a committee
Of past presidents and 10 elected men,
bers
The association voted unanimously to
commend Leo Rover, the present district
attorney, for faithful, thorough, con-
scientious discharge of his official duties
and trust"
Inability to ascertain the opinions Of
the slightly less than 1000 members of
the Bar Association on their choice for
district attorney was given in the reso-
luton as the reason why an individual
candidate was not named.

sided Government budget. Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to ask relief funds for the crisis
through bond issue to be paid over
period of years. He believes that If
Federal money Is required to meet
human relief, it might as well be given
as direct grant rather than loan,
feeling it would be impossible for the
States or cities to repay such loans.
Reverses Hoover Policy.
This Is fiat reversal Of the Hoover
policy. The direct relief proposal will
60 forward to Congress shortly. It Is
understood there are sufficient funds
available in the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to meet relief needs until
May.
As for balancing the budget, Mr.
Roosevelt is giving careful attention
to that problem now and is confident
Of making normal, regular expenditures
of the Government come within the
total Of receipts. He not only wants
to pay for regular Government costs,
but to have some additional for re-
tirement of the public debt.
He does not regard emergency appro-
priations to meet starvation needs in
the economic crisis as within the scope
Of normal, regular Government expendi-
lures and, therefore, believes it justified
to spread these costs over into more
prosperous times.

Federal Government, with proceeds to
be allotted back to local subdivisions as
needed.

BUILDING PROGRAM
, IS UP TO PRESIDENT
100000, 900 Already Appropriated
for Public Works Remains
Unobligated.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Any change in present plans for con-
structing public buildings throughout
the United States must be made by
President Roosevelt.
"Guesswork' was the way Federal
officials today termed reports that Ger.
tain post offices already authorized had
been abandoned.
The Treasury has nearly 1000 600
of the money appropriated Tor the rei1el
program a year ago ready to carry on
that work, which can be used by the
President in his reforestation plan.
No instructions have been issued to
the Treasury to discontinue this work
and it is planned to expend $50 00O, 900
of the amount in construction Of build
ings next year.
Even if the money now available is
taken, it was pointed out, 1t probably
would be returned under the public
works program-though the President
has authority to review the projects au-
thorized and eliminate any which he
may deem unnecessary.
The regular public building program
will not be affected by the reforestation
plan, as the unexpended balance OF
$119,997, ,682 has been obligated.
The reforestation bill provides that
funds for it may be obtained through
use of unobligated moneys already ap-
propriated for use by the Treasury for
public works.

the nations the matter of dealing with
rates through their own parliaments
with particular emphasis on reciprocal
treaties.
The administration, it was made clear
IS entirely ready to discuss with the
French broad economic questions which
will come up at the economic confer
ence with view to making that con-
clave success.
Meanwhile the initial conversations
between Secretary Hull and Ambassador
Lindsay will be followed by long and
careful negotiations before it can be
seen how well the plan will work.
Other Nations Watch.
Progress, or lack Of 1t. meanwhile,
will be carefully watched by many ma
tions. particularly those which like
Great Britain owe the United States
great sums growing out Of the World
War and the reconstruction which fol-
lowed it.
Just how far the administration Is
prepared to 60 in making war debt con-
cessions in return for agreement to re-
duce the abnormally high-trade walls
Is q question. which probably has not
yet been worked out.
Administration Silent.
In fact. the administration has given
publicly no hint that it would reduce
the debts. In somewhat cryptic Ian
guage, however, State Department off,
cials have indicated that If arrange
ments could be made which would be
mutually advantageous to the debtor
and creditor, there would be no hesita-
ton about putting them through.
In this connection, private advocates
OF war debt revision often have argued
in the past that If foreign trade could
be restored to the 1929 level the addi-
tional revenues from customs duties
alone would exceed the amount Of the
annual war debt payments.
The time element figures heavily In
the discussions which have now been
begun. The next payments fall due on
June IS and Great Britain has definitely
indicated it will not pay the amount
due under the present settlement agree
mentS.
At yesterdays meeting with Sir
Ronald, Hull called in Assistant Secre-
tary Raymond Moley. regarded as one
of President Roosevelt's closest advisors
both before and since his election. and
there began the careful diplomatic
fencing which the British hope will re-
suit in greatly scaling down the four
and half billion dollars which they
owe.
After his conversation of more thar
an hour and a quarter with Hull anc
Moley, the British Ambassador declined
to comment, but it was learned that hi:
government had requested him to ascer.
tain the Roosevelt administrations at.
titude on the debts, because of conflicting
reports-one that another moratorium
would be undertaken and another that
full payment would be demanded

neys and others, been unable to devise
any plan for taking care Of the Posts
creditors and continuing 1t in opera

Mr.. Harrison said Mrs. Mclean ap-
proved of Mr.. Minor as receiver but
felt that some one more familiar with
newspaper operation and the affairs
of the Post in particular might render
valuable service as a co-receiver. He
suggested Mr.. Marks for this position.
Mr.. Harrison said that counsel were
hopeful the paper would be disposed

certainly the courts hope"
Julius I. Peyser, who has represented
Mclean in scme of the matters pertain

favored the appointment Of Mr.. Marks
as co-receiver. Mr.. Peyser pointed out
that he, was not consenting to the re-
ceivership, but said the will Of John

Of Mr.. Marks as manager Of the Post.

for the paper was strenuously opposed
by Peyser.

and the elimination of the other might
create bad feeling on the paper.
