After the show he engaged a small group of prisoners in conversation. Most of them were lifers, or at least doing long i'stretches." Finally Frank met the direct eye of a long, numbering ex-gunman. 'And how long have you been here?" Crumit inquired. Me? I only been here IS months" the prisoner re- piled. "Why ain't even taken my shoes off yeti"

CONCRESSMEN WITH
"HANDS TIED"
FLAYED BY FARLEY

WASHINGTON.-"T these Con-
gressmen-elect, would say that, in
my opinion, legislator who ties his
own hands regarding legislation on
which he will vote is committing as
great sin as a juryman who goes
into court pledged in advance to a
particular verdict"
These words were spoken, not by
some weaver of fantastic theories,
but by the very practical Chairman
James A. Farley of the Democratic
National Committee and Postmaster
General, in an address delivered in
New York on November Is.
Without mentioning names, Mr..
Farley delivered a sharp thrust at
tactics such as were employed by
the American Federation of Labor
when it issued a QUESTIONABLE to
Congressional candidates several
weeks in advance of the elections,
demanding yes" or mo" answers
on a number of proposals. some di-
rectly benefitting organized labor,
that are slated to come before the
next Congress. Mr.. Farley said:
Already the newly elected Con-
gressmen are being solicited to sign
pledges, more or less vague. which
would enable these organizations to
claim as adherents and so make a
showing of strength before or at the
coming session."
He added that it is the duty of
Congressman ito keep his mind open.
to preserve his freedom of judgment
and his independence of thought. to
the end that when he takes a po-
sition on any of the grave matters
with which the coming Congress
must deal he will vote as his con-
science directs for the best interests
OF the people"
What effect the Farley statement
VIII have upon the legislative pro-
gram espOused by the A. F. of l.. is
uncertain. If any Congressman
signed the pledge" as advanced in /
the QUESTIONABLE. they may find !
themselves in an embarrassing DO |
sitlOn when the Administrations /
program is disclosed. especially il /
they campaigned on a platform that ,
included support of the President. /
Ihere is no present assurance that
the President will sponsor the A. F.
OF L. program.

NATION PAYS HONOR
TO WRIGHT BROTHERS
Three Aviation Branches Join
With Flyers and Civic Lead
ers in Tribute.

DAYTON, Ohio, December IT,
Chiefs of the Nations three aviation
branches joined with flyers and civic
leaders today to pay tribute to the
Wright Bros. on the thirty-first anni-
versary of the first flight of heavier
than-air machine.
Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois
chief of the Army Air Corps; Rear
Admiral Ernest L. King, chief of the
Navy Bureau Of Aeronautics, and
Ernest L. Vidal, chief of the Bureau
of Air Commerce, flew here early
today from Washington.
AS representatives of grateful Ma
ton, and at the personal request Of
President Roosevelt, they paid tribute
to Orville Wright at his home, and
visited the grave of Wilbur Wright
In Woodland Cemetery.
While the Government leaders Wis
tied Orville Wright, civic leaders and
officers at Wright Field, headed by
Col. H. c Pratt, placed a wreath on
the Wilbur Wright grave.
More than 40 planes, flying In
formation, circled over the city at
1890 am. in observance of the an
niversary. Officers at Wright and
Patterson Fields gave addresses on
the progress of aviation before stu
dent assemblies in high schools.
Many types of airplanes and air
equipment were displayed to the pub

No one will know until they start vot-
ing in Congress shortly on the soldiers
bonus, old-age pensions, social insur-
ance and such things.
They are going to go much further
than the New Deal. Most of them
have to. They are up for reelection
in '36. They observed from the last
election results what a candidate must
do to be popular. 1t will be necessary
for them to swallow lifelong economic
beliefs, in some instances. Their busi-
ness and banking pals may not well
come them when they return home
from the coming session. However,
elf-preservation is the first law in
Congress, as elsewhere.
This Transformation means that
President Roosevelt will have virtually
no conservative opposition from the
Republican side at the coming session.
His recommendations will be scruti-
nized. Some new angles will be rejected.
But, by and large, the Republican
boys will want to go even further than
he proposes to go. The old business
type of conservative bloc action Is a
thing of the past.
Senator Fletcher's idea for a CEN
tral congressional banking committee,
with three members from each house,
is not really designed to encourage
further banking legislation, but to dis
courage it. Senator Glass is supposed
to be behind the move, hoping Gas do
some New Dealers) to keep a small
group in control, so that banking leg
islation will not get out of hand.
Certain Senators are getting
ready to peer deeply into the past
OF Federal Reserue Chairman Ec-
cles When his nomination comes to
them for confirmation. They SuS-
pect that he is the guiding spirit
behind the Net0 Deal financial
credit policy, and he is.
If all the hundreds of New Deal
reorganization plans privately prepared
by secondary officials were placed end
to end, they would not get anywhere,
but they would make fuse as long as
the Tropic of Cancer. One observer has
calculated that there are about four
reorganization plans to every New
Deal official. The White House Is not
even reading most Of them.
The best photograph that could
have been taken in Washington re-
Gently was the one of that lady in red
tights at New Deal party.

ito, but no one talks about 600.

GREEN SAYS RED

Charges Soviet Communists
Have Not Halted u. S.
Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Belief that communistic activity in
this country has continued unabated
despite assurances exchanged when
the United States recognized Soviet
Russia was expressed today before
congressional Investigators by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Testifying before the special House
committee studying allegedly un-
American activities, the labor leader
was reminded that when Russia was
recognized Maxim Litvinoff promised
that the Soviet would not sponsor COM
munistic movements in this country.
The situation is pust as bad since
the Litvinoff pledge as before?" asked
Thomas Hardwick, committee counsel.
Sees Future Menace.
There is no doubt about that"
! Green replied. I'VE have been ex-
tending recognition to the Soviet goy-
ernment and doing a lot of things
! that I think are helping the Com
murists along"
Green said, however, the commu-
nistic movement did not constitute a
danger" at the present time, but
would inevitably be a definite men
ace" unless checked.
He submitted documents to support
| his contention that communistic or
| ganizations were attempting to "un-
| dermine trade unions and gain con-
troll of the labor movement"
Boring in" Charged.
As the hearings opened today Hard
wick explained the communistic study
must cover only broader aspects, but
would be designed to show "commUn-
istic boring in on certain Govern
ment) departments. certain labor and
other organizations"
Thomas Kirby, legislative chairman
Of the Disabled American Veterans,
| testified "the fact is undeniable that
there are within our gates small, ag-
| gressive groups whose allegiance tc
this country is secondary to faith in
other nations or to the hoped for
revolution"
He presented a five-point program
proposed by the D. A. v. which in
cluded a recommendation that those
who advocate forceful destruction Of
the American Government be consid-
cred felons and sentenced to long i'm
prisonment, and. if aliens, deported to

NEUTRALITY PLAN
HAILED BY FRANCE
Freedom for European Nations to
Punish Aggressor Is Seen in
U. S. Proposals.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December ia free hand
in permitting other nations to punish
an aggressor without danger of run
ming afoul the United States was seen
in French official quarters today as
the chief result of the reported Amer
lean plan of abandoning the former
United States stand on freedom of
the seas.
The State Departments project, as
published here, caused wide comment
and considerable surprise because of
its diametric difference from the
American stand during the World
War. The suggested new policy
French quarters said, might remove
one of the chief reasons for the United
States becoming involved in any Eu-
ropean conflict.
The French view, however, chiefly
centers around the feeling that the
projected policy would permit Eu-
ropean nations to organize against
any state which starts war without
danger of getting into difficulties with
the United States because of its ira
ditional claim of freedom of the
seas"

NUMBERS RACKET
Locher Says 1t Is One of
Most Pernicious In
fluenceS Here.

John Locher. president of the Cen
trail Labor Union and secretary Of
the Washington Building Trades
Council, whose work as labor leader
carries him into all sections of the
city at all times of day, has found
that the numbers game is one Of
the biggest and most vicious rackets
in Washington.
Even good hard-working men, who
need every cent they earn, are squan-
dering their meager savings on the
numbers game" Locher said Every
where go, the game is being played"
Locher recalls the old policy game
that once fourished in Washington,
when jackson City was a hot-bed Of
gambling, across the Potomac. He
claims that the numbers racket is
a direct outgrowth of the old policy
game-with this exception: 1T seems
to me that those who played the
policy game had better chance Of
winning than those who play the
numbers game. There is small chance
to win at the numbers game, from
what ! can see."
The Star, the Washington Post, the
Times, the Herald. and the four local
radio stations, which combined to sup
press the race track totals necessary to
float" the numbers game, have the
complete support of Locher He be-
,ieves that constant repetition of the
idea that this is a silly pastime
will gradually break up the game.
When the people come to realize"
Locher said, that they have not q
ghost Of a chance to win at the
numbers game. that it is a suckers
game, that the promoters are the
only ones who profit, they will gradu-
ally lay off this form of gambling.
After all, people who gamble want
to win. Winners are few and far
between in the numbers game"
Convinced that Washington is over
run by numbers men, that the game
has made great inroads on the peace
and happiness of the city, Locher
claims the laws should be strengthened
to make it an offense to play the
numbers game on the streets Of the
city. At present, the laws against
gambling are directed, mostly against
those forms Of gambling played be-
hind closed doors-sometimes bar
ricaded doors. The numbers game is
played on the highways. And this.
Locher says, makes of it pernicious
influence.
