G. w. fears Tulsa's wide-open
plays; fears the backfield combi-
nation of Dennis and Berry; fears
Gloomy Gus" Henderson'S trick
plays.
C. U. fears that the let-down
after the Holy Cross game Of last
Saturday may hurt c. us chances
against Baltimore. c. us coaches
argue that st. Mary's had a let
down and along came Nevada to
defeat the Gaels. Nevada, COM
paratively, was as weak as Balti-
more is alleged to be in Saturdays
C. U.-Baltimore game.
Georgetown, faced by stiff op-
position from the hard-fighting In
dams of William and Mary, fears
that injuries and let-down may
combine to hurt Hoya chances OF
taking the Indians over the hur-
dies.
Maryland also fears a let-down.
The Terps pitted against Navy re-
.quire no mental conditioning.
They Just naturally come up to
expectations because of the in
spiration involved. Will Maryland
have the same quality Of inspira-
ton in the v. P. I. game at Nor
folk, Va, on Saturday?
c. U. should encounter no dill
ficulty in winning from Balti-
more, let-doWn or no let-down.
The Cards are too strong for
Baltimore, and conditions for this
Saturdays game are not to be
compared with the conditions ex-
listing when Nevada tripped St.
Mary's.
Glow of Confidence
GEORGETOWN men feel the glow
of a quiet confidence as they
anticipate the Georgetown-Wil-
liam and Mary game. Alumni
and friends of the Hoyas have
great faith in the 1884 George
town squad since the HilltopperS
cracked Chick Meehan's strong
JaSpers. Further, Coaches Jack
Hagerty, George Murtagh and
George Maurice Dubosky enjoy
the complete confidence and ad-
miration of Georgetowners. The
Hoyas undoubtedly will be men
tally right for the visiting In
Gians.
The injuries to Williamson,
giant center; the fiery Hoya
leader, Joe Saverine, and the
swift Chubby" PARCELS, are wor-
risome, but with Furado to re-
place Williamson at center, the
complexion of the Georgetown
team will change only slightly,
since Furado will bring with him
into the game fully as much, if
not more, enthusiasm. An en-
thusiastic Hoya eleven backed by
an enthusiastic Hoya student
body is very difficult to beat.
Saverine and PARCELS undoubt.
edly will start the game against
William and Mary.
UncOrk Great Game
Maryland's green team is COM
ing, and coming rapidly. There
is little to choose between V. P. I.
and Maryland in the matter of
mechanical ability, although some
of Maryland's youngsters as yet
do not realize their possibilities.
If Maryland'S green youngsters
were able to pull themselves to-
gether with Navy way out in
front, the TerpS aSsuredly will not
crack up under anything V. P. I.
may offer.

CLAW MACHINES
GIVEN OKAY

Operations of claw machines
will be resumed in the District fol-
lowing a report of the District
Grand Jury today, which approved
them as games of skill and not
gambling devices.
United States Attorney Leslie c..
Garnett declared that, in view Of
the jury's report and an acquittal
of two claw machine operators
several months ago in Police Court,
he would sanction operation of
the machines.
The operation of the machines
was stopped more than a week
ago while the jury investigated a
case against four men on gam
bling charges connected with
their operation. Police warned
proprietors of places in which the
machines were installed that they
would be seized if operated during
the investigation.
Used Lunch Money
The investigation was launched
after the Police Department and
the District Attorneys office re-
ceived a number of complaints
from parents of high school chill
dren that they were using their
lunch money to play the machines.
Members of the Police Vice
Squad arrested Jacob Joseph HAZE,
26; Michael Gorge Hale, %; Jacob
Hale, 20, and John L. Whip, jr.,
20, and seized a claw machine at
a delicatessen in the 43O0 block
Georgia Ave. N. w., November %.
The store was frequented by Roose-
velt High School students, many
Of whom were found playing the

JONES GIVEN
DEATH FOR
ASSAULT
Attacker OF Chevy Chase Girl
Sentenced by 3 Judges;
Puts Up No Defense

Alexander Jones, cOIOred at
tacker of a Chevy Chase girl,
was found guilty of criminal
assault and sentenced to be
hanged by three judges of the
Circuit Court at Rockville this
afternoon. Jones' attorney en-
tered no defense but threw his
client at the mercy of the court,
With the Rockville Court House
under a heavy police guard, Alex
ander Jones, colored exconvict
went on trial today, charged with
criminally assaulting young
white girl, daughter of Gov
ernment official, in Chevy Chase
several months ago.
Heavily armed police were sta
toned at every entrance to the
court house and on the stairs
leading to the courtroom because
Of previous threats to lynch the
colored man.
No Crowd at Scene
There was no demonstration
and no crowd around today, how.
ever, as the trial opened.
The case is not being heard by
q Jury, but by three judges.
The young victim of the as
sAult; whose name The Times
wittholds because of her youth,
W called to testify, but not in
open court. She gave her story
to the judges in the jury room.
Then, Frank Patterson, her es-
cort the night of the attack, took
the stand and identified Jones as
one Of the two colored men who
held up the couple as they were
seated in a parked automobile.
Tells OF Slugging
Mr.. Patterson related how he
was slugged over the head with
the butt of gun and knocked
unconscious.
The girls mother took the stand
and testified that when her daugh-
ter returned home in a hysterical
condition, a physician was sum-
moned. The doctor, the mother
said, stated that the girl had been
criminally assaulted.
All spectators were searched for
firearms as they entered the court
room, and every effort was made
to protect the alleged attacker.
Conviction on the charge under
Maryland law can carry the death
sentence.

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, Dec.
THE investigation season
opened earlier than usual this
season. The Ammunition In
vestigating Committee had an
awful exciting session. That
committee has got a job for
life. The ammunition concerns
sell it faster than the commit
tee can investigate it. No ma

or anything to wear from you,
but if you got a gum they will
buy it and more than likely
shoot it back at you.

amt no use arguing about it.

Senator Gives View After Talk
With President; Urges Speed
on Civic Center
By EARL GOODWIN

Possibility of an income tax
for District of Columbia resi-
dents looms today after a visit
to President Roosevelt by Sen.
ator William D. King CD OF
Utah, chairman Of the Senate
District Committee.
Senator King spent half an
hour with President Roosevelt
discussing local affairs, particu-
larly taxes, fiscal relations, and
the tax survey for the District
recently ordered by the President.
Civic Center Urged
Incidentally, Senator King
spoke of the need for immediate
action on the proposed municipal
center.
Senator King, after his visit, in
dicated plainly that he believes
the District is not quite up to
other cities in tax rates. He said
he was opposed to any set con-
tribution by the Federal Govern
ment, but believes the District tax
payers should pay fair amount"
and the Federal Government
should make up the deficit, if any.
He would not state what he
thought the Government should
pay in the District of Columbia as
a substitute for taxes on the prop
erty occupied by Federal buildings.
Hits Intangibles Tax
Senator King said:
II think we should abolish
the tax on intangible property
in the District, which raises SO
little money anyhow, and we
should enact an income and in
heritance tax the same as we
have in my State and in many
other States where the people
pay a fair amount"
He spoke of the sales tax in sew
eral States as something which the
District of Columbia has avoided
so far.
Senator King said he intended
to ask the National Park and Plan
ming Commission, of which he IS
a member, to take immediate &C.

Center, in which will be placed the

DU POINT DEAL
WITH ARMS
FIRM Barred
Senate Probe Told of "SaIe"
of Powder Formula Over
Protest of Government
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

The E. I. du Pont de Nemours
and Company, giant American
munitions firm, gave the British
munitions firm Of Nobel's the
right to manufacture it's patented,
improved military rifle powder in
1925, over the objections of both
the War and Navy Departments.
it was revealed today at the Sen.
ate munitions inquiry.
Major K. K. v. Casey, the Du
Points military expert, protested
vigorously against the deal. He
warned the company Congress
might some day investigate this
agreement and charge the Du
Points with "acting in bad faith
with our own Government" He
added the Du Points might even
be termed TRAITORS
The company's executive and H.
nance committees, however, voted
to give the British firm license
to manufacture the Il. M. r"
powder under the secret du Pont
formula.
Du Points Claim
Du Pont officials explained the
British firm had secured the form.
ula during the war on orders Of
the American Government. They
contended the agreement only
gave the NobelS legal right to
use the formula.
Senator Vandenberg (R0 of
Michigan, placed a series Of Du
Pont documents in the record,
showing how the du Pont and No
bel firms operated under mutual
agreements. He ran into stiff op-
position from du Pont witnesses
when he charged the firm with
giving military secrets to the
British over the objection of the
War and Navy Departments.
The evidence disclosed tn a t
Major Casey fought the deal to
give Nobel'S a license to produce
the Il. M. R." powder. On April
"a, 1924, he sent a confidential
memo to Felix du Pont, general
manager of the company, express
ing his objections. The letter
proved him quite a seer, as he
predicted a congressional inveS-
tigation into du Pont affairs. His
memo read:
1--WE cannot act in good faith
with our Government if we
contract to exchange infOrma-
tiOn on military prOpellents
with a foreign concern. Both
the Army and Navy indicated
that they are desirOus of keep
ing secret development work
which we may do for them.
If we were to agree to exchange
information with any foreign
firm and at the same time &C
cept help in selling powder
abroad from our Army and
Navy, we would create con-
ditiOn which would at some
time or other bring discredit
upon us.
PROBE PREDICTED
at is probable that in the
next few years Congress will
fully investigate all war con-
tracts and particularly the con-
structiOn of Old Hickory (war.
time powder plant). Such an
investigation will bring about
the scrutiny of our military
sales in general.
"If Congress were to aScer-
tain that the Army and Navy
both helped du POnt in securing
military business from abroad
and If it could be sure that du
POnt Company had q working
agreement with a foreign pow
der manufacturer, a conclusion
could be drawn that the du POnt
Company was acting in bad
faith with our own Govern
ment."
