REECE'S BROTHER
IS NOT At TRIAL
Absence Held Proof Repre-
sentative Was Not Party
to "Agreement."
BY the Associated Press.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 2l.-
Absence of Representative B. Carroll
Reece from the trial Of his brother.
former Insurance Commissioner J. /.
Reece, on a charge of stealing S1OO,-
900 Of bonds, was commented upon
today by Seth NJ. Walker in opening
the States arguments before the
Criminal Court jury.
The defendant had testified that
Carroll Reece was present at a con-
ference with Senator Nathan L. Bach
man and j. Lynch in Chattanooga
in 1882, when, he stated, an agree
ment" was reached for him to divert
funds from an Insurance department
account TO the election campaign Of
Gov. Hill McAliSter, under promise
of repayment later. j. l. Reece said
his Republican brother was present
as his witness" to the compact.
Both Senator Bachman and Lynch
emphatically denied entering into
such an agreement" and declared
finances were not even mentioned at
the conference, which they said re-
vOlved about getting Carroll Reece
votes for McAlister and vice versa.
Walker commented that Carroll
Reece is in good health and could
have been summoned by the defense
to colroborate the defendants state
ment, but his voice is as silent as a
grave"
Why haven't they got him here?"
he asked, and answered his question
oy saying the Congressman was not
a party TO what the defendant had
described as an agreement" to divert
funds.
Every material statement that he
the defendant) has made before this
jury is false is fabrication and is a
figment of his imagination from be-
ginning to end" Walker declared.

since the repeal of prohibition
and the beginning of beer and liquor
sales in Washington, according to a
survey completed by Wilbur La Roe,

1T is no longer necessary to specu-
late as to whether drunkenness is on
the increase in the District of Co.

the significance of graphic chart ne
prepared showing the results OF his
survey.
We were assured by our wet friends
that with the advent of beer people
would become more temperate by
drinking this harmless beverage The
truth is that to make liquor OF any
kind easily available to the public in
creases drunkenness. and the chart
shows this in striking manner.

plunged them.
These people. now that business
seems to be coming back, want to get
all the benefits for themselves, and
let the rest of us revert to the misery
of year ago"
What has been done" Farley said,
is to turn the tide and start us on
the upgrade, which course will con-

shcrt-sighted interests is able to put
blocks in the way, and so delay our
ultimate return to normal conditions" "

PRIEST RADIO BAN
RULING EXPLAINED
AyIesWorth Says Time Is
Not Sold for Religious
Programs.
BY the Associated Press.

oS bic hhSotldtcu EicSo'
The House Radio Committee has
learned that Father Charles E. Cough
lin, Detroit Catholic priest, was de-
MED use of the National Broadcasting
Co. facilities because it does not sell
time for religious programs.
This was testified yesterday by Mer-
lin H. Aylesworth, N. B. c. president,
in giving his views on the bill by
Representative McFadden, Republic
an, of Pennsylvania, to bar political
and religious discrimination" in radio
programs.
Aylesworth. In a prepared state
ment, had said the only religious or
ganization which N. B. C. had barred
was a Brooklyn group known as
Jehovah's Witnesses. headed by Judge
Joseph F. Rutherford.
In response to question, however,
he added that Coughlin had been de-
MED the air.
He explained no charge was made
for religious programs. and added that
Catholic subcommittee of the
chains Public Advisory Council had
failed to recommend granting of a
program to Coughlin.
Here McFadden interpolated he
also had not been allowed to broad
cast over N B. c. The Representa-
tive said he had prepared an address
for delivery over the chains Farm
and Home Hour. but was told his en-
gagement had been Cancelled.
Aylesworth replied the cancellation
may have been because the address
was not on the right subject. and
McFadden conceded it concerned
taxation.
Aylesworth said no charge was
made for use of the chains facilities
by religious bodies. President Roose-
welt or COngressmen.

lines. Farley asserted it had been his
dutv under the law to annul the mail
contracts.
1t was clearly shown" he said,
that these contracts were given and
obtained through collusion and fraud;
that through them a few favored
companies obtained many millions OF
dollars out of the public treasury;
that great monopolies were being
built up by Government subsidy"
Farley said cancellation of the mail
contracts was Just as much a part
of the new deal as any other action
taken with view to eliminating
waste and extravaganza in public eX-
penditures."
There was no thought or sugges-
ton of politics in connection with the
cancellation of contracts" he said.
Notwithstanding, some of the spokes-
men for the opposition party are
diligently endeavoring to make it ap-
pear that there was"
Declares Gains Minimized.
He said politics was little in evil
dence for a while after the T 0oseVelt
Inauguration. but that Republicans
were beginning to pick flaws and
minimize gains.
Farley accused political profiteers"
of stirring up dissatisfaction and fea,
because they know there is no hope
for them if the progress already made
toward national recovery continues"
They offer no substitute program"
he asserted, but by innuendo. if not
by direct statement. seek to plant the
notion that purging our Government
system of graft is a bolshevistic as
sault on legitimate business and that
separating the proflteers from their
fat opportunities is an assault on
business generally.
There is multiplying evidence that
the problems which confronted the
country last March have been solved.
From every section Of the country
there come reports of rapidly improv-
ing conditions"
Farley commended the work of
Democratic leaders of Delaware and
predicted the State would be found
in the Democratic ranks next Fall.
The dinner was attended by nearly
| 900 Democrats from all sections of
the State.
