DUKE DEFENDS
SELF IN PLEA

Disbarment proceedings against
Jesse C. Duke. local attorney, en-
tered the windup stage today in
District Supreme Court as final
arguments of opposing counsel
were made.
The trial has been in progress
for almost a month before Chief
Justice Alfred A. Wheat and JUS
tices Daniel W. O'Donoghue and
Jennings Bailey.
Duke, in his argument, de-
Tended his accusations against
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover and Justice F.. Dickinson
Let's. He reiterated his charge
that the two officials sent a
falsified bill OF exceptions to the
District Court of Appeals IN a
liquor conspiracy case two years
ago.
Dukes case was also argued by
Attorney Waldo G. Morse. The
District bar associations case,
contending Duke violated the
ethics of his profession in making
the charges against the officials,
was argued by Lucian Vandoren.

BLOOD Donors
GET No GUT

If you intend to offer blood to
the United States Government.
better sell it to the Public Health
Service, rather than the Veterans
Administration.
Recently Comptroller General
J. R. McCarl ruled that blood
tranSfusions for the Veterans Ad-
ministration were personal serv-
ices and that the blood donors
had to take a IS per cent cut.
Now, in the case of the Public
Health Service, he says no cut is
to be taken.
The reason for the" distinction
is that the Veterans Administra-
ton has regular schedule Of
fees for such jobs, and the Public
Health Service has none.
The same principle applies in
the case of dentists, physicians
and nurses employed by the Pub
lie Health Service is emergencies.

District Court of Appeals, was

RULE.
ON 18TH st.

Southbound traffic was speeded
up considerably today when
Thirteenth Street Northwest be.
tween Massachusetts, and Kansas
Avenues was made a one-way
street between and $50 a. m,
but cross-toWn traffic was slowed
down by the rush of cars on
Thirteenth.
Commenting on the situation,
M. o. Eldridge, acting traffic
director, said:
Judging from the results of
the first morning, l believe
that if the One-Way plan is
kept we must station an Off
Ger at every crossing where
there is no traffic light or the
cross town traffic will be badly
tied up.
Making Thirteenth Street a
One-way street has had the
result of cutting the city in
two, and we must find some
solution to the crOSS-tOwn prob
lem if we are to keep the plan
in effect"
Inspector B. A. Lamb of the
Traffic Bureau said that the
work of detailing police to the
intersections will interfere with
the school patrol and other pre-
cinct work. A possible solution
of the problem would be the in
stallation of traffic lights at
all corners.

AIRPORT PLANS
GE 7 BLOW

Refusing to indorse an i'm
proved airport for Washington,
the District Commissioners
dumped the airport problem to-
day squarely into the lap of
Congress.
Their surprise stand was taken
at a public hearing on the Nc
Swain bill held in the new House
Office Building by the House
Committee on Military Affairs.
Major Paul A. Hodgson, Assistant
District Engineer Commissioner,
said the Commissioners had no
money to match with Federal
funds and, if they did have,
would be disposed to spend it on
other projects such as schools. a
new morgue, Jail, sanitarium and
municipal center.
Major j. D. Arthur, jr., U. S..
District Engineer, estimated pur-
chase and improvements of the
Washington-Hoover Airport would
cost $3,O00,O0O, providing 2O4
acres.
Hodgson's testimony led to con-
fusion as to why the airport pur-
chase is recommended by the De-
partment of Commerce. Frederic
A. Delano, uncle to President
Roosevelt and chairman of the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, on behalf of
the commission, urged construc-
ton of 340-acre airport with a
seaplane base at Gravelly Point.
This would cost, he estimated, only
$2,300,000.
Gene Vidal. chief of the Com
merce Departments aeronautics
division, will testify tomorrow at
10 o'clock.

WAR FEARS RISE
IN SESSION Of
PAC|F|STS
Representatives of Women'S
Groups, Meeting Here, View
Gloomy World Picture

A dark picture of international
relations, with a threat of war
hanging over practically all ma
tions, was painted today as the
ninth conference on the Cause
and Cure of War opened a four
day session at the Hotel WASH
ington.
Hundreds of representatives OF
II national women'S organizations
gathered in Washington with the
announced objectives of building
effective peace machinery. reduc-
ing war machinery and obtaining
guaranteed security against war
for every nation.
Japan Is Target
The first dark picture was laid
before the conference by Walter
w. Van Kirk, secretary Of the de-
partment of international justice
and good will of the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in
America, when he reviewed the
military nationalism displayed by
various nations during the past
year.
His first target was Japan,
which he said has embarked on
a military jamboree of colossal
dimensions. He declared:
"TO many of these people,
the sword is regarded as a
mightier weapon than the pen
and more faith is placed in
marching armies than in peace
commitments.
'tNO one knows what the i'm
mediate outcome will be. In
the end Japan will lose. 1t
is the testimony of history
that nations which lean too
heavily upon the sword sooner
or later suffer an ignOminiOus
defeat"
Referring to a declaration
made by Premier Mussolini that
"only war carries human ener-
gies to the highest level and |
puts the seal of nobility upon |
peoples who have the courage to
undertake it," Van Kirk be- !
moaned the fact that this strain |
of thinking is characteristic of |
numerous people in many ma
tions.
Seeds of Ill Will
He continued:
"The nations nave been
sowing seeds of i'll will, of re-
venge, of retributiOn, of eco
nOmic and military cOmpeti-
tiOn. What will the harvest
be? There can be only one
harvest from such a seed SOW
ing-War."
. Battle still RACES between Bo
livia and Paraguay despite peace
efforts of the League of Nations,
the United States, and the Pan.

of military nationalism in South

could get certain work done for two
dollars day he would pay five dollars
day. There were people who said
that he was doing it for publicity, and
others who said that he was going to
wreck the industrial system. 1t is
fairly clear now that in 1914 Mr.. Ford
not only proposed but put into action
a method by which the disaster of 1929
might have been forestalled. He was
radical not because he overthrew an
old system but because he planted the
roots of a new one.
