Monkhouse in Night Session
Fails to Renew Demand
for Right to Speak.
ADMITS OGPU GRILLED
HIM ONLY IL HOURS
Apologies for Making a Mis-
take" While Thornton Insists
It Was 18 Hours.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. April 15.-Allan Monk
house highest ranking of the six
British engineers on trial for spying
and sabotage, provided a double SEN
sation in court today by charging that
the case was a frame-up and then
failing to follow through with a de-
tailed explanation Of his accusation.
At the morning session Monkhouse
had interjected an unhesitating state
ment that the case was q "frame-up
based on evidence Of terrorized pris-
cners"
The court shut him of before he
had his full say, but when he was
called to the stand as the first witness
of the night session he provided a fiat
anti-climax by failing to renew his de-
rnand for permission to make the dec
laration. The court room was crowded
to capacity with a hand-picked Rus
sian audience in anticipation of the
statement.
4AOilhii~uoc llOWCNtE,
complaints that he had been subjected
to 18 hours continuous questioning
The prosecution had been attacked on
similar grounds by L. c. Thornton,
another OF the British defendants.
Attacks Collapse.
These attacks collapsed when Prose-
cutor Audrey Vishinsky, in a bitter
ofrxv,v ,f tI@tr fatA &c
duced documentary evidence to show
that the Ogpu tsecret pclice) interro-
CATION was not nearly so protracted as
the Englishmen had represented 1t.
Mcnkhouse apolog. .zed to the prose-
cutor for making a mistake in say
ing that he had been questioned l8
hours without let-up. Thornton ac-
cepted the prosecutors presentation
of the evidence in silence.
Exchanging what amounted to al
most go-d-natured banter with Vishin-
sky, Monkhouse denied he ever had re-
ceived any information from Metro
politan-Vickers employees except that
which referred to the operations of his
compsny's machinery. He fiatly con-
tradicted the prosecutions charge that
the firm fostered sabotage activities at
rumber of Soviet electric stations

and the court, and answering questions
with grave mien. the witness replied
to testimony by several Of the Russian
defendants that they had concealed
defects Of Metropolitan -vickers ma
chinery on instructions from repre-
sentatives of the firm
1T is almost impossible for any one
to hide faults in equipment" he said,
"our equipment did have some defects
but they were defects of construction
and not assembly,"
Rising from his chair Prosecutor
Vishinsky interjected good-naturedly,
Il am not judging the Metropolitan
Vickers firm. but Monkhouse."
Vishinsky, who was unusually mild
with the Englishman, in comparison
with his piercing examination of the
Russian defendants, maintained the
same good humor as his prisoner during
the examination.

John Cushny. another of the British
defendants, testified at the earlier ses-
sion that mistakes by Russian workers

Board Sets Policy for
Forty-Second Annual Ses-
sion Opening Tomorrow.

With the National Board of Manage
ment deliberately planning to keep
hands off, all controversial matters
outside the broad program Of patriotic
education to which the Daughters of the
American Revolution are dedicated, the
for.y-secoEd congress of the National
Society will convene in Constitution
Hall tomorrow morning for a five-day
session
This years Continental Congress cul-
inmates a year of policy under the new
administration by which, according to
the president general, Mrs. Russell Will
liam Magma, the governing board has
avoided entangling alliances and has
sought strictly to mind its own busi-
ness" The business of the D. A. r.,
Mrs. Magma said yesterday in discussing
the forthcoming session, is close ad
herence to the traditional purposes for
which the society was founded and Ito

From all appearances the program for

off-election years. similar to those of
former years. National defense, immi
grafton, Soviet Russia and Americanism
loom as the principal topics of guest
speakers, who include prominent Gov
ernment officials of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. All these are part and
parcel of patriotic education, Mrs. Mag
ma pointed out, and are matters on
which the attitude of the D. A. r. Is
well known.
Hysteria Modified Down.
There will be this marked difference
in the approach of the present D. A. r.
administration to these and other ques-
tions Of governmental policy. Mrs
Magma stressed. however, in calling at
tention to the fact that the governing
board has modified hysteria down to
sane course" Any attempt to affiliate
the D. A. r. with any outside organi-
zation, the president general challenged,
would be stoutly resisted during the
coming session. The D. A. r. will
stand on its own feet" she declared
Mrs. Magma. who is completing her

HULL PLANS MOVE
TO PAC|FY CUBANS
Sugar Allotment Is Crux of
Proposed Policy Designed to
Avoid intervention.
The Neu York Herald-Tribu
today prints the folloping dispatch
from its Washington bureau:


While it watches the rising tide Of
political terrorism in Cuba with the
closest interest, the administration Is
quietly feeling its way toward a new
Cuban policy which it hopes will fur
nish solid foundation for the paciflca-
ton and economic restoration OF the
island without American Intervention.
The handspring of the new policy,
which has been under discussion for
several months. is the allotment to
Cuba of a definite quantity of the sugar
needed for American consumption. This
allotment would be made as part OF
comprehensive scheme for controlling
the production of sugar in this country
and its insular possessions with the
eoualizing of supply and demand ana
a moderate rise in the price Of sugar
as its main objectives.
The stabilizing Of Cuban economy,
which rests almost entirely upon sugar.
is regarded as necessary to the return
of Cuba to more nearly normal political
conditions. Although no member of the
administration can say as much for OBJ
yious reasons, 1t is tacitly admitted by
well informed persons that the partial
inclusion of Cuba in the American
closed sugar area would be made con-
tingent upon arrangements for an early
free election in Cuba. 1t has been sug-
gested that a short period Of orderly
transition might be furnished by agree
ment between the Machado government
and leaders Of the opposition on neu-
side the ranks Of active politicians.
No Thought Of Intervening.
Because Of the extreme delicacy OF IFS
situation, the administration is saying
as little as possible about Cuba. In
response to questions. Cordell Hull.
Secretary of State, said yesterday that
the administration is giving no thought
to Intervention in Cuba. He empha-
sized that the relations Of the United
States to Cuba were those Of one sover-
eign nation to another.
The administrations desire to avoid
intervention in Cuba, If it is possible
is attributable partly to the cost, but
preponderantly to its hope of maintain
ing and improving friendly relations be-
tween this country and Latin America
as a whole. A disruption in Cuba
which would bring the question Of IN
tervention to a head would be most
unwelcome at this time when the ad-
ministration is conducting conversations
preliminary to the world economic con-
ference.
AllOtments Suggested.
Although President Roosevelt has not
taken official cognizance of the fact,
persons close to him have been dis
cussing the possibilities of controlling
sugar production with representatives
of az the leading sugar interests. In

SHANNON DATA
CRITICIZED

Organizations of Federal en-
ployes are expected to make
themselves heard shortly regard
ing the criticisms of activities of
Federal clerks contained in the
so-called Shannon report" deal
ing with alleged competition by
Government units with private
enterprise.
It is the feeling of officers Of
the associations that the Shan
non report is simply another
manifestation of the tendency to
criticize Government personnel,
and they contend that in such
criticism the facts have not been
sufficiently taken into account.
Among the local organizations
criticized in the report is the
1n-Com-Co Club, composed Of
Interstate Commerce Commission
employees, which was organized to
promote cooperative purchasing
and for other purposes. The
club was discontinued after the
Shannon committee began its in
vestigations on the ground that
it was created in war time and
was no longer needed.
