Judge Given Refuses to Hold
U. S. Raid Witnesses
Under Bail.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY
QUESTIONS METHODS
Says Continuances Are Asked in
Order to Present Cases to Grand
Jury Before Hearing

United States Attorney Leslie G.
Garnett's drive against gaming in
the District received another setback
in Police Court today when Judge
Ralph Given refused to hold some so
Government witnesses under bail In
connection with q raid late yesterday
on an alleged gambling establishment
in the 500 block Of G street.
In the previous seven or eight cases
made since the drive began early last
month several hundred witnesses were
detained under bond Of 500 each.
Judge Given's ruling today released
those arrested yesterday.
When the Government, through As
sistant United States Attorney David
A. Hart, asked for q continuance to
April ~, Attorney Harry Whelan,
representing the five defendants ar
rested in the raid. told Judge Given
the Government was asking the con-
tinuance merely so 1t could present the
case to the grand jury before q hear
ing was held in Police Court, sitting
as committing magistrate.
As in Previous Cases.
The Government has followed this
procedure In previous cases since the
drive began, and 1t was intimated by
the United States attorneys ofice 1t
would be followed In this case.
Judge Given said the practice of
continuing the cases indefinitely, as
they have been before while the Gov
ernment awaited an opportunity to
present them to the grand Jury, would
not be followed and that q hearing
would be held before him on April q,
the date set, or the cases would be
dismissed.
In refusing to hold the witnesses,
Judge Given said the Government
could take the mems names and call
them when the hearing was held.
In previous cases the scores Of Wit
nesses under bond were brought into
court several times, taking them away
from their places Of employment on
each occasion.
Case Nolle Pressed.
One Of the previous cases, that
against Solomon Munitz, arrested In
one Of last months raids In the ll0G
block Of G street, was noIle pressed
this morning before Judge Given
when 1t was called for q hearing and
the Government was not ready to pre-
sent its case. Whelan, Munitz' at
torney, pointed out to the court that
1t was the fourth time the case has
been called and that each time the
Government has asked for a contin-
uance.
One Of the witnesses detained yes
terday. Adclph Olowack, was released
on writ Of habeas corpus, secured
from Justice F. Dickinson Let's Of
District Supreme Oeurt by Whelan last
night. Hearing on the writ was set
for April IT and bond fixed at 500.
The men held as the alleged oper-
ators Of the G street place raided yes
terday gave their names as Albert G.
Gibson, 80; Charles E. McWhirt, 81;
James r. Miller, 27; William A. Gar
ner. 81. and Harry White, 80.

of Local Problems.
Viii Lead Fight to
Correct Appropria-
tiO7ls Bill.

In Representative Otter, Republic
can, Of Pennsylvania, the District has
found another friend in Congress.
Unexpectedly, Otter, new mem
Der Of the House, has emerged from
his first struggle with the problems Of
the local municipal government, thor
oughly convinced that Congress should
look q little more kindly toward the
District.
A member of the Subcommittee on
Appropriations which framed the
1885 District appropriation bill, Dit
ter had an opportunity to be on the
inside of the budget-making process,
and declares without reservation that
his colleagues did not do q good job.
The measure, as 1t was reported to
the House, he. thinks, reeks with In
equities and unjust provisions that
will hinder progress in the coming
fiscal year.
viii Lead Fight.
Consequently, Otter has decided to
become = self-appointed defender Of
the District when the bill Is con-
sidered in the House. He will take
the lead in a fight on the floor to
have the so-called inequities removed
and funds provided for projects which
the Commissioners have convinced
him are urgently necessary.
Although an advocate Of lower
taxes, Otter insists the District can
not stand q tax reduction in the
coming fiscal year without harmful
impairment Of the municipal govern
ment machine. The $500, 900 saving
to taxpayers which the proposed tax
cut would allow, he points out, will
preclude urgently needed improve
ments.
Paying for Government.
Differs philosophy Is simply this +:
you can only get what you are will
ing to pay for. A municipal govern
ment Is like a person. One person
may be perfectly willing to ride in q
small car and get satisfaction. An
other Is not satisfied unless he rides
In an expensive car. But the man
who rides in the big car must pay the
price.
Il believe the District government
Is far too big and too important to
be satisfied In a flivver."
Otter also proposes to make a
strenuous fight for restoration Of the
40 per cent cut the committee made
In the salary items of the Public
Utilities Commission. Riley e. Elgen.
acting chairman Of the commission,
has informed him the reduction will
restrict the activities Of the commits

Commissioners and Plan
ners to Discuss Urgent
Needs Tuesday.
HAzEN COMPROMISE
TENTATIVELY FAVORED
Allen Still Thinks City Projects
Should Be Favored Over Park
Expansion-0rigin of Plan.

The District Commissioners declared
today they hope a satisfactory agree
ment will be reached with the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission on their proposed plan to
use the Capper- -Cramton act as a
vehicle to obtain a 80 per cent grant
from the Public Works Administration
toward proposed $4,000. 900 District
government construction program.
The Commissioners will meet Tues
day at 10 am. with representatives of
the Planning Commission to discuss
means Of financing urgently needed
District improvements without entirely
abandoning authorization in the Cap
per-Cramton act for further develop
n1ent Of parks, Fairgrounds and
recreation centers in the National
Capital.
Tentatively Approved.
Commissioner George Z. Allen today
gave . tentative approval to q COM
promise plan suggested last night by
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen.
This plan, in general terms, is that
provision still be left In the Capper-
Cramton act for additional appropri-
ations for park development and that
during years when Congress may ap-
propriate funds for park purposes
repayment Of Federal funds be divided
equally between those for parks and
those for District construction pro-
grams.
Such plan would not obligate the
District to repay more than $1,000 900
a year to the Federal Government
for funds advanced for either park
developments or the construction
projects.
Commissioned Allen said he stin was
Of the opinion that the remaining
$12 500 900 which may be appro-
priated under the Capper-Cramton
act should be made available for Dis
trict construction projects instead OF
park expansion. II 1t is necessary to
compromise with the Park and Plan
ming Commission, however, he would
be willing to agree to such plan
as advocated by Hazen, said Commits
sioner Allen.
Origin Of Proposal.
The plan was proposed originally
when Secretary OF the Interior Ickes
indicated public works funds would
be available for District projects II
the District could obtain congressional
approval of assuming 10 per cent
of the cost. to be repaid to the Fed
eral Government over q period OF
years.
The Commissioners hope to obtain
p. w. A. funds for building the first
unit of the Municipal Center, a
modern sewage disposal plant, new
adult tuberculosis hospital and an ad-
dition to Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital and public school buildings cost
ing more than $2,000,00

CTS Mir Johnson in?" inquired a pleasant young voice.
 Marilyn Stuart didn't usually no- tice whether the many inquiring voices she heard were young or old, pleasant or unpleasant, but this one happened to be particu- larly fascinating. She looked up to a not-too-nice-looking young man.
 He's not in just now. Will you wait, or leave your name?"
 'I'll wait" he decided.
 Marilyn went back to her typing. Marilyn Stuart was MT Johnson's very efficient secretary. Everything about her was efficient, her typing, her manner of handling MT John- sons business and personal matters -(she needed to be, as MT John- son invariably forgot his wife's birthday and their anniversary. {. Even her looks were efficient just enough makeup, just enough style to her dressing.
 She would have been astonished if she could have heard the thoughts of the young man sitting almost directly opposite her. She would have heard something like thiS-
 Pretty girl; sort of cold-look- ing though. She'd be perfect if she could stop thinking of business long enough. What she needs is to fall in love with some one boy! When she turns her heard that way she's a beauty. I guess that some one will have to be mel"
 Whereupon the young man got up and strolled over to Marilyn's desk.
 "Say, I guess MT Johnson won't be in for quite while, so I'll be going"
 twill you leave your name?" asked Marilyn, to all appearances unconscious of the charm of the gay young eyes.
 Sure, Richard Peters IT," Then, Whats yours?"
 To her annoyance Marilyn told him.
 "Marilyn Stuart" he repeated thoughtfully. ''Nice name"
 He reached in his pocket and swiftly drew out a little red book, scribbled in it, then, pencil poised, asked matter-of-factly:
 Telephone number?"
 Marilyn gasped. q won't tell you" she cried indignantly.
 He grinned- impudently. "Oh, all right. But I'll find out somehow" he promised.
 "How?" she snapped. His head wagged slowly, and he grinned again
 T know a secret an I won't tell-ll" he chanted a \sing-song

Marilyn thought she's best humor him. Well, what is it?" she asked him in the tone one would use to a backward child. 'Tl tell you if you'1l promise me something" he replied gravely.
 Really, have no time to bar- gain with" He interrupted swiftly. 'T sup- pose I'll have to tell you first then. You see, I'm Johnson's pet nephew fresh from college"
 "Well, why didn't you say so.'' Marilyn was exasperated. He's spoken of you, of course-always as just Dick. Naturally didn't recognize your last name."
 He looked at her for . moment, then, seeming to regain courage, he cleared his throat impressively and shot out:
 "I guess you think this is sud- den, but I'll give you three days to get acquainted with me-supper tonight, lunch and dinner tomor- row, and lunch, supper and danc- ing next day. Then will you marry me?"
 He waited-actually, Marilyn thought, expecting an answer.
 "Why, think you're crazy!" she finally burst out. T don't even know you!"
 That's all right" he broke in eagerly. ''I' told you I'd give you three days to get acquainted. Wen start tonight. Sup" She interrupted him impatiently.
 ''Why it's unheard of. How do even know you're really MT John sons nephew?"
 Ask him." the clever Mir Petexs returned triumphantly. He stuffed his pipe and lit f., | giving Marilyn the opportunity to study him more closely. He really was rather nice-but such a ridicu- lous idea!
 He began speaking again. ssTf you want to be businesslike we can draw up a contract, and if you de-: eide at the end of three days you don't like me, we'll, that's too bad for me. But if we make good on our contract-well, we'll just trade 1t in for another" 1 Marilyn was just about to answer when MT Johnson came rushing in. He stopped short at the sight of Richard Peters, Jr. | ''Weli, we'll" he cried gleefully, "my dear, dear nephewi How are you, and have you married yet?ss. "No," replied Peters, Jr, ssbut I'm going to be married next week" Indeed! Splendid, splendidl Who is the lucky lady, may I ask ?''
 Very good friend of yours,' Richard returned mysteriously. Haven't asked her formally yet, but I'm pretty sure-' Delighted" crowed MT Johnson. Delighted! Congratulate you both. Er-what's her name? No, that's right, you didn't say. We'll, well! Delightedi"
 And muttering something about business" and ''see Richard later. he disappeared into his private Of flee.
 Marilyn glared at the smiling MT Peters.
 Three days! Insane, of course. But-he did have nice eyes. And being MT Johnson's nephew he cer- tainly wasn't 6 total stranger. May be in six months or so.
 Well" she breathed, smiling back. Where shall we eat supper tonight?"
