The 34-year-old roadhouse prop

by asking the court to prevent a
new trial or any action by the
supreme court or Gov. George

the death penalty. He said calmly:
"No pen for me. I'd rather
take it now, because if I got

STORY.
7 OLD BY
BUTLER
Ex-Chief of NRA and Others
Deny Charge of Plot to
Seize Government

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 0N.S)-
Placed squarely on the hot spot
by Gen Smedley D. Buffers as
founding testimony, Gerald P.
MacGuire, young bond salesman,
was to appear before the Dick
stein Committee today to repeat
his denials that he ever urged
General Butler to march on Wash.
ington with a Fascist" army.
Named by the fiery Marine
Corps Veteran as the intermedi-
ary in plot of Wall Street in
terestS to overthrow President
Roosevelt with a force of 100000
ex,service men, Mr.. MacGuire was
to be examined on a number Of
circumstantial details contained
in General Buffers charges.
Despite the mirth, sarcasm
and explosive indignation with
which the charges were denied by
various eminent officials men,
toned in the conspiracy" the
Congressional committee on I'm.

"Sift the matter to the bottom"
Dickstein Comments
Representative Samuel Dick.
stein, vice chairman of the com.
mittee, said:
From present indications
Butler has the evidence. He's
not going to make any serious
charges unless he has something
to back them up. Well have
men here with bigger names
than his"
Representative Dickstein said
about 16 persons mentioned by
General Butler would be subpoe-
naed and that a public hearing
might be held next Monday.
Besides the men General Butler
mentioned in his testimony before
the committee, there was a report
that he had told friends in Phila.
delphia the dictator of the new
Fascist Government" was to be
General Hugh S. Johnson. When
General johnson learned of this,
he barked:
He'd better be pretty damn
careful. Nobody said a word to
me about anything of this kind,
and if they did I'd throw them
out of the window. / know moth
ing about it."
There was no official comment
from President Roosevelt, who is
in Warm Springs, Ca, but it is
known that when he heard Of
the conspiracy" which was to re-
lieve him of his job he laughed:
'Fantastic!"
The substance of General But
ler's charges was substantially:
That Mr.. MacGuire had asked
him to organize war veterans into
a Fascist army with dues Of 81 a
year.
That Mr.. MacGuire arranged
a meeting between him and

regarding a speech urging that

HOUS|NGFUND
SOUGHTFROM
CONGRESS
Allen Plans Appeal for New
Law If ItMcCarl Refuses
To Grant Money

Congress may be asked to give
Washington specific authority to
accept FERA funds for a low-cost
housing project employing relief
labor, it was indicated today by
Commissioner George E. Allen.
This action will be taken only
after Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman has submitted
brief to Comptroller General Nc
Carl asking him to reconsider his
ruling that the District cannot &C.
quire property for relief purposes.
Law of 1877 Cited
In his decision, Comptroller
McCarl cited a Congressional tax
law of March 3, 1877, which
stated that land could be pur-
chased by the city for school and
municipal purposes only.
Commissioner Allen stated that
the actual construction of low
cost houses is subsidiary to en-
ploying persons on relief rolls
under. his plan. He said two
broad principles Of thought in
the Administration were involved
in the McCarl decision. ......-
Opposes Contracts =
Harold L. Ickes, Public Works
Administrator, he said, believes
all building operations financed
with public funds should be car.
ried on under contract.
Opposing this view, Commis-
Sioner Allen said, is Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins, who
would relieve the Nations relief
rolls by giving the unemployed
work on low-coSt housing.
Mr.. Hopkins allotted 1893, ,484 to
the District for low-cost houses,
and it was estimated that more
than $500 men would be given
employment for five months on
the construction work.
Would Cut Relief
Commissioner Allen said:
"If were allowed to 90
ahead with my plans, these
men would be off of the relief
rolls today"
Local labor organizations voiced
their support of Commissioner
Aliens plan and Washington con-
struction material dealers agreed
to furnish building materials at
reduced prices.

washington, Nov. 1.-THE hottest
tip In town. II you want to try to keep
track Of what's on Roosevelt's
mind, Is to follow the speeches Of
Donald r. Richberg.
Richberg. chief Of the supreme Ma
tional Emergency Council, Is now
closer to the chief than is anyone
else. As executive assistant to the
president, it has fallen to him to make
the speeches Roosevelt can't make
for strategic or other reasons-and Ia
stress the things F. D. wants to get
over to the country. There isn't any
one else to do the Job.
Some tipsters here advise you b
keep reading Professor Motley. That
isn't . bad tip either, but It isn't q
good - the Richberg tip.
Also, quite q few people are likely
to gag on Professor Moley as . steady
diet-aside from the fact that there
often seem to be many things In the
Moley mind which aren't In the
Roosevelt mind at all.
As an administration foghorn, Rich
berg Is the more seductive. He loves
words and even writes his OWL
speeches. Read o. listen 10 q Rich
berg speech and you'll zee how ably
he embellishes his ideas.
