When Mr.. Wilson asked him as
to the whereabouts of the Rev.
]. Sidney Peters, Virginia cleric
and dry leader who has died. Dr.
Hatcher responded:
"Dr. Peters? Where is he?
Why he's in Heaven"
DR.. Hatcher testified that there
were two committees operating in
Virginia during the 1928 campaign,
The Government contends that
one of these committees was myth

Cannon to cover up campaign
funds not accounted for.
Similar testimony was given by
the Rev. A. P. Williams of Richs
mond, and H. P. Glasgow, Roas

Counsel Near Blows
A row between counsel that cara

been introduced in evidence. Mn
Wilson said:
"The last 1 knew of the letter
it was lying there in front Of the

better say it with a smile"
The letter was found few minA

Mr.. McNeill's desk, and Mr.. Wiz

COL. ROOSEVELT I
RAPS NEW DEAL

NEW YORK, April 18 GN.S),
A stirring denunciation of the
policies of the President, his dis
tant cousin, was voiced by Col
Theodore Roosevelt, in his inaug-
ural address of the National Re-
publican Club last night.
He said the Franklin D. Roose.
welt regime has violated and jeo-
pardized constitutional privileges,
He compared the NRA to mill
taristic Prussianism. The policies
of the New Deal he characterized
as bullying" "bulldozing," and
reactionary.
The President and his college
boys" were accused of setting up
a gigantic bureaucracy, "stultified,
narrow, and inefficient" He
declared that from democracy the
nation is being swept by the new
policies toward autocracy. He
added:
''If the SO-called New Deal
prevails, the hard-bOught gains
for liberalism and individual
liberty are lost"

Mr.. w. R. Hearst,
Los Angeles Examiner,
Los Angeles, Calf.
Mr.. Richard W. Robbins,
president, TWA, together with
the undersigned, deeply appre-
ciate the fair, forceful and
helpful posi- t. on you have
taken with reference to the
tragic air mail situation and
we are deeply grateful to you
for it. These are strenuous
times and prove to us who the
real friends of aviation are in
this country.
There is a bill up for con-
sideration in the Senate at
this writing, known as Senate
Bill 1857, offered by Senator
McCarran and another similar
bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives, offered by Con-
gresham Wood, of Georgia,
known as H. r. 1858, which
we believe offer the best solu-
tion of the tremendous set
back resulting from the can
collation.. We would appre-
ciate anything you feel free
to do to secure early passage
of the McCarran bill. The tenn
porary contracts on which bids
have been asked, will not only
not solve the present situa-
tion, but will confuse it still
further, and we certainly hope
that permanent legislation, as
represented by the McCarran
bill, will be passed by Con-
gress before April 20, when
these temporary bids are to
be opened.

BuIwinkIe and 0'Connor Plan
To Fight Proposal to
Prosecute Educator
BY International News Service

A report by a majority Of the
House investigating committee
declaring DIR. william A. Writ,
Gary educator, had failed to
prove his charges Of plans within
the Administration to overthrow
the established social order was
forecast today.
The Democratic majority on
the committee was prepared to
declare the inquiry ended, after
having heard DR.. Wirt's story OF
a dinner party held last Septem-
Der in Virginia and the version
of six others who attended the
dinner.
BulwinkIe Calls Meeting
Representative McGugin R) OF
Kansas, a minority member.
planned to insist that the COM
mittee call other witnesses, includ'
ing high Administration officials.
A meeting of the committee. OF
which Representative Bulwinkle
CD of North Carolina is chair
man, was called for today.
The inquiry into the converse
ton held after the dinner at the
home of Miss Alice Barrows, Bu'
reau of Education specialist, left a
trail of partisan bitterness in its
wake.
Unfairness Charged
While Democratic members
aSSailed DR.. Wirt'S statement
of the conversation as false,
Representative McGuggin said the
Democratic majority was unfair.
Reports that the committee
would ask the Federal District At
torney to prosecute DR.. Writ for
perjury were secuted by Chairman
Bulwinkle and Representative
O'Connor CD of New York. Both
said they would fight any COM
mittee report to this effect.
Representative O'Connor said
prosecution of DR.. Writ might
make a martyr out of him." Rep
resentative SomerS CD of New
York, however, asserted that If
the committee did not present a
transcript of the testimony to the
District Attorney he would do it
himself. Senator Connally DO
of Texas, supported Representa-
