SETTLES
ROW With JOHNSON
OVER POST STORIES
Flaws Publication for Making
Public His Letter; Praises
Former NRA Chief

Washington, Dec. A.-(AP)-The
latest incident involving Donald r.
Richberg and Hugh s. johnson. cen
tering around the projected publica-
ton Of . series Of magazine articles
by the former NRA head. was re-
ported Monday to have been term
mated by IN exchange Of Christmas
greeting.
Richberg, director Of the national
emergency council. precipitated the
exchange by writing the Saturday
Evening Post that he would hold II
legally responsible" II 1t published
anything rejecting on his reputation
Exchange Greetings
In explanation, Richberg Monday
issued the following statement:
Il had not the faintest intention
Of restraining any freedom OF the
press in writing to General Johnson's
publishers. I have been libelled
frequently and also frequently have
been over praised in the newspapers
have never brought suit for libel
and do not expect to.
II, Of course, am at loss to un-
derstand why q private letter to q
publisher should be made public.
AT the same time General john
son telegraphed me that there was
nothing personal or scurrilous in his
book and wished me Merry Christ
mas.
Il replied to General Johnson that
I could not understand the publica-
ton OF q private letter. or statements
repeatedly attributed to linn because
I had consistently praised his great
achievements and never discredited
his motives. I reciprocated his holl-
day greetings.
II trust this will terminate the in
cident."
Holds Post Responsible
Richberg had written the Post on
December IA:
Many of the charges which Gen.
eral johnson has loosely made IN prl-
vate conversation regarding me and
nv activities can be completely dis
proved by documentary evidence and
the testimony of large number OF
credible witnesses.
IT you take the responsibility Of
publishing the statements by General
johnson derogatory to me. and obvi-
olsly designed as destructive OF my
personal and professional reputation
you must accept the full legal respon-
sibility. :"
General johnson retorted:
Donald is q high official. II he
thinks there Is libel In this narration
Why doesn't he stand on his legal
rights in q suit for libel and not at
tempt to use his position to threaten
the freedom Of the press.
when I was catching al the dead
cats that any one had to throw
r.ever squealed or tried to scotch them
in single case
Johnson's articles are expected tc
start early In the New Year. What
they will say about Richberg and what
Richberg will do are objects Of mucf
speculation In the capital.
The quarrel throws new light on TIN
intensity OF the emotions aud differ
ences that marked NRAS inner coun.
ellis as it began Its era Of transi.
ton. The split started when John.
son was head Of MIRA and Richberl
his nominal subordinate as counsel.

A plan for revival of industry
through bank credits underwritten
by the federal government was out
lined by Charles w. JeWett, former

in an address to the Indiana So
ciety, Sons of the American Revo-

Annual banquet of the society was
held at the Columbia Club Satur-

Officers of all local banks would
be organized into a local credit COM

planned. Local banks would pro-
vide credit for local industry to be-
gin normal employment.
THE bank would take the notes
of the industry secured by a lien
upon the finished product. These
notes and securities could be dis
counted without recourse with the
Federal Reserve bank of the district

THREE DIE IN
TRAIN COLLISION
Locomotive, Seven Coaches
Are DeraiIed at
DeIphoS, 0.
By United Press


DELPHOS, O., Feb. 26.-Three
persons were killed and four others
injured when the locomotive of the
Fl. Dearborn No. 70, on the Penn
sylvania railroad, turned over with
seven coaches as they we're derailed
in a collision with a truck of the
Bates Motor Service of Chicago here
early today.
The dead are: George Lamin, 81,
engineer, and Andrew Palmer, 30,
fireman, both of Fit. Wayne, Ind,
and Philip Long, 40, truck driver,
Of Chicago.
The express, running late from
New York to Chicago, was going at
about sixty miles an hour when it
collided with the truck at cross
ing here. The impact threw num-
Der of passengers from their berths,
although only three women were cut
and bruised.
The truck piled up on the pilot
of the locomotive and was carried
more than two blocks before it was
hurled into a ditch and burst into
flames.
Two blocks farther along the
track, the engine turned over, de-
railing seven of the nine coaches.
The engineer and fireman were
crushed beneath the engine and eff
forts to recover the bodies were not
successful Immediately.

TRIO IS RE|NDICTED
IN JONES Staying
Mason, GiberSon and Dean
to Face Trial Here.

William Mason, Ernest Rcd
Giberson and Edwin (Foggy) Dean,
gangsters indicted for murder in
the commission Of robbery in In
dianapolis Feb. 7, last year, in which
Sergeant Lester Jones was killed,
we're reindicted for the crime by
the Marion county grand jury to-
day.
1t was explained at the prosecu-
tors office that the three men who
we're to be tried at Noblesville early
next month, are to be tried in
Marion county instead. 1t was
feared that the case might be nolle
pressed in NobleSville because of
the withdrawal of the defense at
torney recently.
Giberson recently escaped from
the county Jail at Noblesville and
is still at large. Mason is held there
while Dean is held at the Marion
county Jail to await trial.

slider the spiritual price too high.
I think, too, that this would be
pretty much the temper of the
rest of the country; but there is
no telling. A rampant nationalist
feeling grows by what it feeds on,
and it swells to unpredictable pro-
portions with marvellous speed.
Once it gets going headlong it
puts down objection brutally; and
the speed Of the march is thus
accelerated.
That might prove just as true
in this country as elsewhere.
RECOMMENDATION without stint
might indeed, sometimes think,
go farther and faster here than
anywhere else, if we once took the
bit in our teeth and set up for a
100 per cent American conformity
in everything. We are a people
given to excuses. I recall par
ticularly the pressure toward con-
formity brought to bear during
our war time Liberty Loan drives;
and we all have seen the same
thing more or less repeated on a
smaller scale whenever a town
had a Y. M. G. A. or something of
the sort to build. These outburSts
of local high-preSsure are not
necessarily plotted and pushed
from above. During the first
years cotton plow-up campaign
in the south, for example, time
did not permit sending out any,
thing from national headquarters
at Washington very much more
than the contract itself. We had
no slogans or banners, and very
few set speeches. We had no in
sigma for the farmer who signed
up to put on his mail-box. We
knew what pressure would fall on
the man who had no mark on his
mailbox; and We purposely wished
to avoid things like that. We
wanted the thing put as a plain
take-it or leaVe-it inducement to
voluntary cooperation; and all
our national plans and directions
were drawn with that in mind.
Immediately, however, many 10
cal communities formed drives in
the old 100 per cent come along
or be accounted a traitor" spirit;
and before the thing was over
there was even, I am told, a little
night riding, with the neighbors
coming in to take out the cotton
of the man who refused to sign.
The American spirit as yet knows
little of moderation, whichever
way it turns.
