Aitken then launched into an elo-
quent defense of the centuries-old
artistic custom of using self-portraits
or the portraits of friends in historical
works. He pointed out that many of
the great Italian painters used their
own faces or those of their intimates
to represent the Apostles.
Zone of the figures in the Supreme
Court Building pediment is said to

THE occasional tricks that the dec

There was that business of the man
who slyly inserted a dollar sign into
the stained glass window of rich
Fifth Avenue church. There have
been stories Of architects who have
caused dubious inscriptions to be
carved in hooks and crannies Of build

NEW YORK, December 10.-Figures
adorning an entrance to the new
Supreme Court building in Washing
ton are not intended to be portraits
of Chief Justices Marshall, Taft and
Hughes, or other personages, but are
type hkenesses."
Robert Aitken, the sculptor, said
today that the three men served as
his models, but took pains to explain
a fine artistic distinction.
"The figures aren't portraits Of the
three men," he said. "The inSpira-
ton for the figures was derived from
the characters of the men as expressed
in their physical appearance, which
is a somewhat different matter.
1T is necessary for a sculptor to
work from an individual model to
keep mis- figures from being wooden,
lifeless. What would people want me
to do in decorating a building of this
kind, pick up models out of the bread
line?

Arrests in the Federal narcotic
drive today reached 7s1 and Harry
j. Anslinger, narcotics commissioner,
predicted about 95 per cent would be
convicted in the courts.
Arrests will begin to taper of now"
Anslinger said. They will mostly be
follow-up cases"
Anslinger said there was no evidence
of one Nationwide gang, though
there was "a lot of interlocking and
inter-gang business, particularly be-
tween the North and South and the
East and the West"
The coast-to-coast coup was said by
officials to be the greatest single blow
ever struck the trafic. Seizures were
valued at many thousands Of dollars.
New Powers Sought.
In the midst Of the drive, the
Treasury was planning to ask Con-
gress for new police powers for chok-
ing the Illicit narcotics trade. TO-
gether with new authority for COM
batting bootleggers of liquor.
Enforcement in both of these fields
now rests on Federal taxing powers
The Treasury believes its work would
be more effective if it were given addi-
tional power to outlaw narcotic and
bootleg activities.
In every major city in the land
Federal agents forced their way into
dens. Scores of automobiles used by
the peddlers were confiscated.
Under the present law, Anslinger
said Federal agents ran into cases
they were unable to deal with. He
listed as examples forged prescrip-
tions, possession of tax-paid goods
and dope production within the
States.

interstate rings and captured somt

0FF|CERLESSS SHIP
RIDES OUT STORM
Four Ships Stand BY Ready
to Aid Freighter in
Mid-AtIantic.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 10.-Four
ships stood by today to aid the Japan
ese freighter Victoria Maru. which
had been pounded into an unmanage-
able condition by mid-Atlantic gales.
The liner Albert Ballin reported by
wireless today that, in addition to
itself, the Pacific trader, the Karl
Clasen and the Amsterdam had
reached the stricken ship.
The Japanese vessels captain and
chief officer are dead, the third officer
was lost and seven seamen were in
jured.
SOS messages, intercepted by
other ships that went racing to her
rescue, and relayed to shore. told of
her bridge being destroyed by noun
tainous waves. The last message re-
ported from her wireless man, however,
said:
II am alone, but present conditions
not so dangerous"
Rudder Believed Lost.
From the staccato story told in her
meager messages, sea-going men de-
duced that the stricken freighter lost
her rudder in the storm, was being di-
rected by the movement of her pro-
peller, and apparently was holding her
own.
The drama of the ship against the
sea was brought vividly into the warm
living rooms ashore after the freighter
told of her radio receiving apparatus
being disabled, and asked that she
be communicated with on commercial
wave lengths between 200 and 400
meters
Regular broadcaStS were interrupted
to assure the surviving members of
the crew that their S S had been
received and that ships in the vicinity
were steaming to give aid.
In the first messages last night, the
Victoria Maru gave her position as
latitude 45:39 north, longitude, 1925
west, about 484 miles north of the
Azores.
A message at 9:22 pm, picked up
by the S. S. Washington and relayed
to the Mackay Radio Corporation s
station at Rockland, Me-, asked:
What is my bearing? I am alone.
but present conditions not so much
dangerous. I gave up about my re-
ceiving set. I will send tests every Is
minutes for bearings"
Owned by japanese Company.
The freighter is a 385-foot vessel of
5,875 tons, owned by the Kokusai Line
Of Japan and chartered by the United
States Navigation Co. of New York.
She cleared Hamburg November 16
with a general cargo.
Clearance records in New York
listed her skipper as Capt. Takenchi,
but did not give the name of her chief
officer, third ofhcer or other members
of the crew.
The severity of the storm she en-
countered was indicated by a message
from the washington to its New York
Office, reporting:
Going through rough weather. Will
not, arrive at Ambrose before Wednes-
day afternoon"
The washington was due in New
York tomorrow, as was the Victoria
Maru.

COMEDIES "BR|BE"
IN POWDER SALES
K. K. V. Casey Admits
"Commission" Was Paid
"Chinese Army, Nanking."
BY the Associated Press.

=
Evidence that the Du Pont Co. paid
large commissions" to secure powder
business in China in 1929 was Laid
today before the Senate Munitions
Committee.
Du Pont officials did not deny the
commissions were in the nature of
bribes, explaining they had been told
lit was an old Chinese custom"
Documents laid before the COM
mittee showed commission" of l
per cent on a large powder sale in
1929 was paid to Col. De Fremary,
Dutch officer working under con-
tract with the Chinese government.
Another commission" of per cent
was paid to Chinese Army, Marking" :"
K. K. v. Casey, Du Pont official,
conceded the per cent was graft" I"
but testified he did not know to whom
it was paid
Casey accepted responsibility for
violating" a company policy in this
regard. He said he knew if this Incl
dent was reported, the company di-
rectors would have stopped all further
sales.
Earlier the company had denied
paying graft to sell munitions to Po-
land.
Sold Powder to Poland.
Correspondence showed the Du
Points sold 1000 tons of smokeless
powder to Poland on a contract pro-
viding for payment over three years
The evidence disclosed the du Pont
agent in Warsaw, named Klawe, re-
ceived per cent commission, or
| $126,000, of which he was advanced
about $4,000 when the contract was
signed.
| Du Pont witnesses said there were
no indications this money was ad-
! vanced to Klawe for payment to any
! one else.
Other evidence included a letter
from the du Pont files saying graft
was an essential to selling war ma
! terials in the Balkans.
Casey did not characterize the per
cent payment to Col. de Fremary as
| graft"
Added Embargo Evidence.
Committee members said today they
also had more evidence of efforts by
American munitions makers to pre-
vent embargo legislation by Congress.
Letters were in their possession, they
said, showing that munitions officials
conferred with War and Navy Depart
ment men to prevent the embargo now
! in effect on the shipment of war ma
terials to the Chaco disputants in
South America.
| The sessions will last through next
week. Members of the committee are
confident that by then they will have
presented enough to warrant the ap-
preparation of money for inquiry into
the activities of shipbuilders, steel
manufacturers and bankers. Their
interest in armaments, Chairman Nye
contends, is fully as great as that of
the manufacturers themselves.
Zarahoff Employed by Vickers.
In addition to the commission"
disclosures the investigators also
found letter in du Pont company
files today asserting Vickers, Ltd, a
British company, employed Sir Basil
Zaharoff, mystery" arms salesman,
as an Intermediary in the Balkans.
The letter was written in 1922 by
Col William N. Taylor, du Points
Paris agent, who said English and
German munitions companies were
most successful in the Balkans be-
cause they understood conditions and
| were willing to use necessary ex-
pediences.

other hilly park areas. The Thirteenth
street hill was sanded, as was a Sec
ton between E and F streets.
A minor jam resulted on Indiana
