House of Delegates defeated a
move seeking impeachment Of

The action was taken on mo-

of the beer law, proposing censure
of the jurist and memorializing
Congress for his immediate i'm

Judge McClintic had told the

of shipments of beer into the
State under provision of the Fed

ton of 80 beer into dry States.
While the House debated the
Impeachment resolution the grand
Jury adjourned without reporting

WOMAN CALLED

NEW YORK, April 20 G.NSO.
Arrested in her hotel suite on an
indictment charging extortion Of
$50, 900 from Bruce Barton, author
and advertising executive, Mrs.
Francis w. King, SO, today faced
arraignment in General Sessions.
Police said they had seized a
letter to Barton demanding the
money and galley proofs of a
book they declared libelled the
author.
Mrs. King. according to Charles
E. Kelley, attorney for Barton, was
employed as clerk in Barton'S
office in 1928. She posed as un!
married, he said, but in Decem-
ber Of that year Hugh r. King,
of California, started a divorce
action and suit for alienation
of affections which Barton settled
for $25, 900.
Last fall, according to Kelley,
Mrs. King sued Barton for $780,
600 for SANDER and obtained a
civil order for the authors arrest.
Barton was released in $1,000
bail.
Barton, according to his attor-
ney, complained to the district at

Insurgent Conflict Flares

is a great deal Of opposition
among the Florida m m e S
against the isolation policy OF the
President General.
Oregon Enters Ranks
At meeting last month,
Florida adopted a resolution urg-
ing that the D. A. R., cooperate
with similarly-minded organiza'
tions in the national defense
policy. This resolution was tabled
despite a stubborn fight waged by
the Princess.
It is believed that the Florida
insurgent members will attempt
to present this same resolution
before the convention tomorrow.
They will be joined, it was under
stood, by members of the oregon
delegation, who also oppose the
isolation policy.
Miss Hull later presented her
statement to the national parll-
mentary committee for action, to
determine if it may be presented
at any time or must come as a
special order of business.
Resolution Illegal
At the Florida State conference
last month a resolution pledging
loyal support to Mrs. Magma was
votedl. Members of the Florida
delegation today however, declared
that the meeting at which this
resolution was adopted was
illegal because the minutes Of the
prior meeting had not been read.
Therefore, they say, that the
endorsement of Mrs. Magma does
not exist. ,
Students in high schools and
college preparatory schools Of this
country are not being adequately
instructed in American history
and government, it was charged
before the Congress.
In some cases, these important
subjects are entirely ignored, it
was pointed out, due to the fact
that these subjects are not obliga-
tory for college entrance board
examinations.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted by the Congress appoint
ing a fact finding committee to
secure information from all States
relative to these studies and make
plans for improvement in them.

subjects are particularly needed

tory. and no people can endure
without knowledge of and interest

The Congress also adopted a
resolution deploring the slashing

out the country and demanding
that the children of America be
provided with adequate educa-
tional facilities.
The Washington times., 1933-04-20

The smouldering fires Of re-
volt in the ranks of the
Daughter of the American
Revolution burst into flame
today.
The attack, launched at Mrs
Russell William Magma, presl
dent-general of the organization
was quelled for the time being
with the promise that it will be
renewed at the final session OF
the Continental Congress tomor'
row.
Mrs. HObart'S Denial
The battle opened when Mrs
Edith Irwin Hobart, honorary
president-general, arose on the
platform to a point of special
privilege and denied emphatically
that she had attended a "in'
surgency meeting" at the Sui
grave Club yesterday.
Mrs. Hobart stated that she and
Mrs. Brosseau, another past presi'
dent.general, were invited by
Princess Cantacuzene, grand
daughter of General Grant and a
member of the Florida delegation
to q social luncheon.
When Mrs. Hobart sat down,
the Princess stood up on the floor
and reiterated that the meeting
was purely a social affair and
that politics of the organization
were not discussed.
Defense Fight Opens
There was a feeling Of tense
ness in the hall at this extraordi'
nary spectacle of the denial by
the two members who have been
named as leaders of the forces
which opposed the Magma policies
Then Miss Lottie M. Hull, OF
Vermont, jumped to her feet and
declared that she wished to read
a statement on national defense
Mrs. Magma pointed out to her
that no such statement could be
read at this time, but that if 1t

Miss Hull started to read the
statement, diSregarding Mrs. Mag
mas warning.
Princess Overruled
Mrs. Magma raped with her
gavel and again informed the Yer
mont delegate that she could not
continue.
Miss Hull then sat down.
Princess Cantacuzene, who last
December resigned from the Ma
tional Defense Committee because
she said she could not support
Mrs. Magna's policies, then
jumped up and demanded that
Miss Hull be allowed to read her
statement. This was overruled.

regent Of Florida, declared that

rates under the flexible tariff
provision, which the Supreme
Court sustained.
MATTER OF PROTECTION
Congress can declare an
emergency exists and that it ID
essential to arm the President
with this power to protect
American trade against the at
tackS of other governments. This
whole measure will be based
primarily on the fact that we
must act to protect our trade
and commerce against the de-
preciated currencies Of foreign
nations"
The President has let it be
known at the White House that
he would maintain a sound cur
rency," even If the currency is
inflated.
The President felt that even
the greenbacks to be issued
would be sound currency, as they
would be supported by gold and
silver bullion now on deposit In
the Treasury.
Developments came swiftly to-
day.
At a series of conferences the
new initiation measure was drawn.
One Year Limit
The silver initiation plan was
taken bodily from a bill intro
duced by Senator Pittman some
time ago. It provided that 1.-THE
President. Of the United States

amounts not to exceed in value

be limited to one year.

Administration moved toward in.

gressional leaders. Only a few of
them knew of the conferences

PRICE INCREASE
CALLED FIRST
NEED Of U.s..
Effect of Surrenderlng Gold
Standard Held Primary
In Starting Recovery

How long the United States will
stay off the gold standard was an
unanswered question here today.
Secretary Woodin said frankly
he did not know.
The important result Of the EN-.
barge on gold exports is expected
to be an economic battle Of cur.
rencies between the United States
and England.
London already has permitted
the pound sterling to drop in the
markets of the world with the re-
suit that Great Britain has a de-
cided price advantage in competl'
ton.
Now that this Government has
withdrawn support from dollar
exchange, the dollar likewise is
going down. London probably
will permit the pound to fall and
maintain it below the dollar for
competitive reasons.
Results Unforeseen
If the United States accepts
the challenge and engages in q
currency war, both the pound
sterling and the dollar may be
pushed down to the limit. The
economic effect of such a Situa.
ton cannot be foretold.
Abandonment of the gold
standard was without political
significance, official maintained.
The prediction was made by
a high official that although the
dollar will sag sharply for some
time, it eventually will start NOV
ing upward again even without
governmental support on fore
ign exchanges.
Held Impetus Needed
The view was expressed that
the commodity price increase
that has been 'occasioned by go
ing off the gold standard is the
initial impetus necessary to put
America back on its feet econom'
ically.
What will be the effect on
holders of large wealth, especially
Government securities, was an
other troublesome question. In
France, Germany, and England
it meant writing off values.
One official frankly declared
he did not know what would
result from the gold standard
move but that even If the effect
was not beneficial, it could do
no harm.
The Treasury was expected to
issue an order today relative to
the gold embargo which may
clear up some of the so far unex'
planned features of the move.
