NEW YORK, May 9 G.N.SD.-
The stock market recovered from
the sinking spell of the last two

The u/turn was aided by re-

The market was largely a
churning affair, however, and
failed to show the snap of its
recent upturns. Volume fell off
substantially also, turnover to
noon amounting to slightly more
than 100000 shares.

REJECTS
LEAN PLEA

A motion of Edward B. Mclean,
former publisher of the Washing
ton Post, for leave to intervene in
the litigation instituted by the
International Paper Company,
which threw the Post into re-
ceivership, was denied today by
Justice James M. Proctor in Dis
trict Supreme Court.
George B. Fraser, counsel for
Mclean, commended that his client
had the right to intervene as sole
beneficiary under the will of his
father, John r. Mclean, which
also vested him with authority to
block a sale of the paper unless
his approval was obtained.
Opposing the motion, j. Harry
Covington, counsel for the paper
company, declared the provision
of the will regarding McLean's ap-
proval for sale of the paper eX-
tended only to a voluntary sale.
Justice Proctor, in denying the
motion, declared that McLean's
approval was not essential to an
involuntary sale. He stated that
Mclean could protect his interests
through his co-trusteeship of the
John r. Mclean estate.
Fraser also pointed out that
Benjamin S. Minor, receiver for
the Post, has already asked the
court for an order of prompt"
sale of the paper.

Gen. Frank Hines, head of
the Veterans Administration,
and Col. Louis NJ. Howe, secre-
tary to President Roosevelt,
were in conference today at the

It is expected that by Satur-

General Hines would not diVulge
the nature of the plans, but
said that old historic Fort Hunt
10 miles from Washington on
the Potomac River would be the
site where the veterans would be
housed. He said leaders OF the
movement had promised him that
the men would leave the city by
May 10.
General Hines said George D.
Brady. chairman of the commit
tee, had promised him that the
men would be orderly and that
no embarrassing demonstrators
would be held.
No Trouble Expected
Meanwhile threats of Harold
Foulkrod, senior national COM
mander of the B. E. F., Inc, to
lead 5000 men into washington

House. Colonel Howe said:

Two women eyed each other
in the courtroom at this morn
ing's session of the trial of Gas
ton B. Means and Norman T.
Whitaker. One was in the wit
ness box, one in the audience.
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean,
chief witness for the prosecution,
and Mrs. CASTOR Means, wife of
one of the defendants, were the
two.
The eyes Of the entire court
room were fastened on Mrs. Nc
Lean as she testified. Practically
no one glanced at the plump lit
tie figure Of Mrs. Means, OBJ
scured by the crowd.
Fascinated Gaze
Mrs. Means seldom took her
eyes away from the other woman.
She seemed fascinated by Mrs.
McLean's slim hands as the lat
ter punctuated her testimony
with gestures.
Even the sparkle of Mrs. Nc
Leans diamond bracelets and
chain, offered in evidence. failed
to district Mrs. Means attention
It was the witness who held the
attention.
Curiously enough, the jewels,
valued at 100000, also failed to
interest the seven women in the
jury box. The men alone seemed
to give the glittering bits OF
wealth more than a casual glance.
The jury women took them in
their hands-and passed them on.
The men studied them intently.
Mrs. McLean's fingers were
jewelless. A pin at the throat OF

her black gown and an ornament
of diamonds in her smartly tilted
black hat were the only relieving
notes in her Somber costume.
Mrs. Mclean told her story
an incredible tale of mysterious
voices over the telephone, of code
numbers and signals, of trips to
Aiken, S. c., and Ell Paso, Tex.
Her voice -rippled placidly. Turn
ing a fortune over to a known
crook with casual reference to
$1,000 bills as expense money, was
a mere item in her adventure.
She talked of the $4,000 "hot'
money, of Means story that the
kidnapers must have $4,000 to
replace it.
Means Watchful
The jury women listened in
tently to this part of her testi-
mony. 1t was more real than the
100000 in jewels.
AS Mrs. Mclean testified Means
expansive countenance was turned
on her. Whitaker, "The Fox"
slumped in his chair, hardly
glanced at her.
Mrs. Mclean described "The
Fox" as a killer-as dangerous,
But the squat disbarred lawyer
looked anything but that.

The SANDER suit instituted
against Senator Huey P. Long
the Louisiana "klng1lsn, by
Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, coun
sell for the Senate Campaign Elk
penditures Committee, was dis
missed today by Justice James M
proctor in District Supreme Court
A libel suit, instituted on SINH
liar action, against Long, must be
tried Judge Proctor ruled on an
other motion.
The SANDER suit was based on
certain remarks made by Long
on the Senate floor in connec'
ton with Ansell's activities IN
investigation of the election OF
fSenator John Overton of LoulSl-
ana. in the course of the speech
Long called Ansell "a Scoundrel,
"a crook" and other uncompll-
mentary terms. Long waived his
immunity and Ansell instituted
suit.
However, when Longs attorney,
Raymond N. Beebe, appeared IN
court today, he pleaded the i'm
munity on the contention the
court had no jurisdiction of the
case. JustiNa-.Rroctor- ruled that
Longs remarks were absolutely
privileged and protected by the
Constitution.
In seeking to dismiss the libel
suit, which was based on a circu-
lar sent out by Long and contain
ing similar remarks as made in
his speech on the Senate floor, the
Senator's attorney contended Long
was immune from service of a civil
process while attending sessions Of
Congress.

packed the courtroom in to-
days session Of the trial OF

expected thrill of seeing Col.

to raise the additional money to
gain the return of the child.
