Lawyers.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 18.-Federal
Judge William Bondy today set down
"for disposition" July 2 the case OF
James c. Mckay and william J.
Graham, politically powerful Reno
New, men charged with using the
mails to defraud.
The Judge acted after 15-minute
argument by attorneys as to when the
case should be tried.
The defense contended that 1t had
been put off too long and insisted II
was ready to go to trial. Government
counsel asked the case be postponed
until July is.
Judge Bondy said that 1t was the
right of the defense to have speedy
trial, as a man accused Of o crime
is presumed to be innocent until ne
Is convicted. He then set the case
for July 2 for disposition by either
Judge Hicks or Judge Meekin.
U. S. Cites Other Gases.
"I1l set this case down for dis
position on July @" Judge Bondy said
"I can't make disposition. Thank
God, I'm without the power"
The Government asked for delay
until July 16 on the ground that there
were many other cases that deserved
consideration because the defendants
were too poor to furnish bail and had
to languish in Jail.
John Taffe of San Francisco, of de-
fense counsel demanded that II the
case was set for July Is 1t be ordered
dismissed if the Government was not
ready for trial on that date.
Judge Bondy waived aside this sug-
gestion and set the earlier date.
All Lawyers Talk at Once.
During the argument four or five
attorneys spoke. sometimes all of them
at once Judge Bondy interrupted
each OF them with the statement that
"a man accused Of q crime is entitled
to a speedy trial"
Taf1e told the court that on rep
reservations Of the Government that
the case would go to trial June IL
the defense had brought three wit
nesses all the way across the country.
He said the defense counsel was
forced to wait here and wanted either
to go ahead, have the case dismissed
or have the trial definitely put over
until Fall. so that they could 60 home
Even after the court had made his
ruling, counsel continued arguing,
with the result that Judge Bondy re-
peated his ruling several times.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
I BALTIMORE, June 18.-The David
son Transfer & Storage Co., which
suspended operations as a result of
the truckers strike, resumed inter.
state hauling today.
Joseph Davidson, vice president and
general manager, said the decision to
resume operations was reached after
lit employees, all truck drivers and
helpers, had demanded they be put
back to work.
1.-THE point at issue In the strike" I"
Davidson said, was recognition of
the Teamsters and Chauffeurs' Union,
not hours and wages. We already
were complying with the N. r. A. code
so far as hours were concerned and
our wage scale was considerably above
the code requirements.
I'VE still have not recognized the
union, but we shall, Of course, make
arrangements to carry out section
IA of the recovery act, which gives
employees the right to bargain conec-
lively"
The strike had tied up trucking
operations between Baltimore, Wash
ington and other interstate points.

search after the dentist had failed
to return home.
The body was found In a clump o!

Mrs Meyers said the doctor left
Eldorado yesterday to look over some
real estate.
Mrs. Meyers said she sought to ac-
company him and Lee Armstrong, but
that on the insistence of the latter
she remained at home. DR.. Meyers
Office was ransacked between Satur-
day night and early today.

widespread search for Armstrong, who
was reported to have accompanied the
dentist to the farm as a prospective
buyer for the land owned by Meyers.

Eldorado hotel Saturday under the

To this Senator La Toilette replied

a defiant cry of Senator Huey Long,

Before the Senate session began to-

While leaders feverishly sought to

for a continuation of the spectacular
parliamentary play of Saturday night.

exploded downtown.
Government spokesmen said every
effort would be made to run down
the assailants.
Reports that four men who led the
attack were captured by A. B. C.'s and
burned to death in their automobile
were denied by police. Rafael Esca-
Iona, allegedly one Of the four. spoke
by radio from hospital to deny the

Political Dangers.
A number of observers expressed the
opinion that the killing of the A. B. G.
paraders demonstrated the nation was
not ready for normal political func-
tions and it would be dangerous for
the various parties to hold political
rallies now.
The cabinet was to devote a session
to the week end of strife and its
aftermath. Observers could not re-
call another instance In Cuba s
troubled history where women had
been fired upon in such a manner.
The machine gun slaughter ap-
parently had been carefully arranged.
1t followed acts of terrorism Saturday
night when the A. B. G. opened its

The next presidential election Is set
for December.
President Mendieta, after comforting
with A. B. C. leaders and cabinet
members, declined to make a state

complete investigation.
Col. Fulgencio Batista, head Of the
army, expressed regret that his forces

said. "for the coming elections If the
A. B. c. had been permitted to carry

There was turmoil backstage In
the Senate when the Administration 8
compromise labor bill leaked out.
Floor Leader Robinson brought 1t
from the White House. looking around
| corners as he went, so no one would
see him. He slipped a copy to Re-
publican Leader McNary secretly.
The next he heard. copies were all
published in one paper.
Robinson warned newsmen that II
they published the bill they would Ho-
late his wishes and perhaps also the
Federal law against publication of Sc
cret Government documents.
Newsmen said that was too bad,
and, anyway, the bill was not a Gov
eminent document.
What happened toGs this: When
McNary got his copy. he had sev-
erdl copies made so Republican
Senators could look it oper and
decide tDhetler they tDere going to
support 1t. Several Senators
slipped copies to newsmen and, In
tew minutes, the bill Uas all orer
the place.
The reason the White House and
Senator Robinson we're so angry was
that the bill had to be materially al
tered later.
Enactment of the railroad pension
bill Is supposed to have been part of
a deal made by the administration
with the rail workers several months
ago to avoid strike. At least, that
Is the word spread among Democrats
in Congress. and it explains why the
measure was enacted so suddenly.
Investigation Declared Sloppy.
The reason the House cut down the
Nazi investigation appropriation is
that the investigation has been slop-
py. Much good testimony had been
brought out, but not in an effective
or striking way. The COMMITTEES
members are mostly amateur congress
sional investigators who paid their
leading investigator more than Mr..
Pecora received for his successful
stock market inquiry.
Some California Democrats here are
moaning that the Socialist, Upton
Sinclair, may win the Democratic gu
bernatorial nomination out there.
Between the lines of the Peek re-
port on foreign trade you can read the
conclusion that Mr.. Peek does not
know what he Is going to do about
foreign trade or how he Is going to
do it.
