ATTACK CKINDICTMENTS
IN GAMBLING CASE
Beard and Associates Charge Re
moval of Jury Member
Was Illegal.

Sam Beard and IS alleged gambling
associates today made a second attack
in District Supreme Court upon
indictments charging them with viola
tions Of the gambling laws.
Beard first attacked the indictments
on the ground Mrs. Elizabeth Downey,
one Of the grand jurors, was dis
qualified because she had borrowed
money from the Home Owners Loan
Corporation. Justice oscar R. Luhring.
however, ruled that this did not
mvalidate the indictment.
After this ruling, a second indict-
ment was returned. This was done
after United States Attorney Leslie C.
Garnett, deciding to take no chances
on the question, had excused Mrs.
Downey and sworn in Wallace C..
Powell to replace her.
Beard now contends that Justice
Luhring held Mrs. Downey was not
disqualified and that the swearing In
of . new grand juror was therefore
illegal. Through Attorneys. John j.
Sirica, Martin r. ODonoghue and
Maurice McInerney the defendant
now asks that the new indictments be
quashed on this ground

DEMOCRATS STUDY
BONUS STRATEGY
White House Still Silent, but
Compromise Talk Gains
in Volume.
By the Associated Press.

~ VIC hSoOS3dtcu flcos.
Strategy to strike a bargain" on
the soldiers bonus, If the Democratic
high command considers such q move
warranted when the $4,000, ,000, 900
issue comes to a head, was being
studied tentatively today by some ad-
ministration leaders in Congress.
They emphasized they had no hint
from the White House. Though there
is much talk of possible COM
promises" the President has made
no statement of his attitude But
with sentiment among returning
members heralded as so strong for
bonus payment, these leaders. as
one put it, are hoping to make the
best bargain we can"
Many Schemes in Prospect.
A dozen or more methods of paying
the bonus are expected to be pro-
posed in Congress. They will range
from limited payments to needy vet
Grams all the way to issuing new cur
rency to pay all the bonus certifi-
Gates In full Immediately at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000, ,000,0O
Most of these will be referred to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee then. According to the plan
being discussed by men who cannot
be quoted at present. the committee
would sound out President Roosevelt
and attempt to arrive at an agreement
on an amended middle-o of the road
bill.
Some strategists propose that this
compromise bill be carried to the
House floor under a strict rule for
bidding amendments.
House Maneuvers Likely.
The strategy was being studied by
House members because the initial
maneuvering probably will take place
in that chamber. Twice before the
House has passed bill for full and
Gates say the sentiment for such q
measure is greater there than ever.
Without administration approval,
leaders figure, a vote on bill for
full and immediate payment might
be put off until March through par
liamentary procedure. But bonus pro-
ponents, as we'll as House leaders,
are anxious to dispose of the problem
early in the session.
Two Plans Advanced.
Among the outstanding compromises
now being talked of are two: First,
to pay only jobless or needy veterans;
second, to change the dates on the
bonus.
This latter plan would date the
adjusted compensation certificates
from 1918 instead of 1925 and have
them mature in 1885 instead Of 1e45.
The difference in interest, the Vet
erans' Administration has calculated,
would reduce the total outlay to
around $1,200,000,00
This proposal already has been put
up to the House bonus leaders, but
they steered clear of q commitment
on the ground that they-and vet
erans' organizations-woul brook no
compromise.

In view of Byrns' interest in the
gambling legislation, the bill probably
will be given preferred status on

MILITARY TRA|N|NG|
REVIEW IS SOUGHT
Attorney Says High Courts
Ruling Shows Failure to
Grasp Questions.
b. the Associated Press.

~ thS ASSOCIATED Press.
The Supreme Court was urged yes
terday to reconsider its recent unani-
nous decision upholding the Uni
versity Of California's suspension Of
two students who refused to take mill
tary training.
John Beardsley Of Los Angeles,
counsel for the suspended students,
Albert w. Hamilton and w. Alonzo
Reynolds, jr., asserted the decision
disclosed the court had not grasped
the constitutional questions he raised
and asked an opportunity to re-argue
the case.
Declaring "the millions Of peace
lovers in America who oppose compul-
sorry military training in unsupported
land grant colleges are entitled to an
authoritative understanding" of their
constitutional rights, Beardsley asked
the court to answer this question:
May State university. which IS
a land-grant college, impose as a
price for the education to which they
are in all other respects entitled by
law, the surrender of students i'm
munity by virtue of the laws and Con-
stitution Of the United States, from
compulsory military service. in time
of peace. in any branch of the Fed
ersl military establishment?
Beardsley insisted the court had
misunderstood what he claimed we're
the constitutional privileges and i'm
munities to enter the university with
out being required to take military
training. Compulsory membership
and service in the Reserve Officers
Training Corps bridges those rights,
he insisted
He declared the corps a branch OF
the Federal military service, that il
was maintained for Federal purposes
and. because it was a branch of the
Federal military establishment. that
service in it could not be compelled
except by act of Congress.

Eccles Rescued From Glass.
The most daring rescue Of the hoh-
day season was effected when Chair
man Eccles of Federal Reserve was
saved from engaging in a controversy
with Senator Glass.
Mr.. Eccles was writing reply to
Senator Glass on Christmas eve.
Newsmen were waiting eagerly. Word
came that Mr.. Eccles had it half writ
ten. Expectancy increased. The body
of Mr.. Eccles could be seen visionally
drifting closer and closer to the Vir-
ginia buzzsaw. Then came the an
nouncement that Mr.. Eccles would
make no formal reply.
What happened ,Das that certain
influential insiders called Mr.. Ec-
cles on the telephone in the nick OF
time. They told Htin that people

longer than Mr.. Eccles unanimous
ly agree that the easiest iOdy to
spoil budding Reserve Board
career is to get in an argument
NTH cdctus-tongued Garter.
After tearing up the original reply
and thinking the matter over for
three days, Mr. Eccles gave out a
mild Federal Reserve Board state
ment explaining his previous an
nouncement. 1t was hardly q reply
| to Glass.
Glass usually knows whom he is
spanking before he puts out his paddle,
but this time he hit the wrong fellow
The root of the trouble was that
the Federal Reserve Board handled its
press release ineff1ciently when 1t an
| nounced a cut from 8 to az per cent
| in bank interest rates on deposits. 1t
| linked its legitimate action with a
| doubtful one by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The F. r. B
had ample authority to order the cut
| by its own members, but the r. D. /
c. probably overstepped itself when it
tried to extend the order to banks out
side the Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton.
Question Purely Technical.
The question is purely technical
The F. D. I. C. obtained an opinion
from legal counsel that its order was
legal, although laymen may not under
stand how it could be.
Glass knew all that. He merely
used the unimportant opportunity for
an indirect shot at the way the ad-
ministration has centralized banking
under the F. r. B. and F. D. I. c. He
will be shooting at that of and on
from now on.

PARLEY WILL AIR
NEWS CODE FIGHT
Publishers to Consider
Labor Board Decision
in Guild Case.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 7s.-Plans
went forward today for q convention
Of 1900 Of the Nations newspapers
to consider the dispute between the
San Francisco Call-Bulletin and the
National Labor Relations Board "as
it effects their continuance" under
the daily newspaper code.
The call for the convention, an
nounced last night by Howard Davis,
chairman Of the Publishers National
Code Committee, Is the result of ac-
ton of the Labor Relations Board in
recommending to N r. A. that the
Call-Bulletin be deprived of its Blue
Eagle for not reinstating Dean s.
Jennings, q rewrite man, after the
board had ordered It to do so.
Davis, in a statement, expressed the
opinion that this action constitutes
"an attempt to usurp power over the
code for the daily newspaper pub
fishing business" He did not an
nounce the time or place Of the meet
ing.
Re-empIoyment Ordered.
The Call-Bulletin, a Hearst news
paper, was ordered by the Labor Re-
lations Board to re-employ Jennings
after he charged he had been forced
to resign because of his activity with
the American Newspaper Guild.
The paper, contending the News
paper Industrial Board and not the
Labor Relations Board should have
heard the case, failed to heed the
decision. Thereupon, the Labor
Board yesterday referred the matter
to the N. r. A. compliance division
with q recommendation the Call
Bulletins Blue Eagle be removed.
Davis said the issue has precipi-
tated the gravest problem with which
the press of this country has yet been
confronted"
In his statement. Davis said:
Blow 10 Freedom, Feared.
''The newspaper code contains COM
plete, final and exclusive provisions
for the adjustment of controversies
arising from the application of its
provisions
"A bureaucratic board is endeavor-
Ing to arrogate to itself power to
modify the code. If conceded this
would undermine the bill of rights"
and the precedent set by this case
would, II sustained. destroy at
stroke the essential safeguard of the
freedom Of the press contained in the
