TWO MEN HELD
IN LOTTERY RAID
Representative of Mrs. Har-
rinan Denies Her Con-
nection With "OffiCe."

Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, World
War aviator, denied today that Albert
Reiss and Philip Schoenberg, ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage in
test case of the Grant National Treas
ure Hunt" had any connection with
the National Conference for Legalizing
Lotteries, of which Mrs. Oliver Grace
Hartman, New York socialite cru
sader for a national lottery, is
hacker.
These men," Lanphier said, "are
Just ticket sellers and had absolutely
no right to claim a connection with
the National Conference for Legaliz-
ing Lotteries"
Mrs. Harriman's name was painted
on the glass doors of the offices at
1927 street, occupied by Reiss and
Schoenberg, when 1t was raided Sat-
urday. Their arrest was described as
the first local test of the Grand Ma
tional Treasure Hunt, backed by Mrs.
Hartman
Commissioner Turnage held Reiss
and Schoenberg under $4,000 bond for
a preliminary hearing August 81, but
it was announced at the Office of
United States Attorney Garnett that
the grand jury would get the case
today.
Mai Iamphier, who is associated
with Mrs. Hartman on a committee
which will handle proceeds of the
treasure hunt" to be turned over to
charity, appeared for her.
Lanphier and Reiss exchanged a
few heated words in Commissioners
Turnages Offices. Reiss said the
Grand National Treasure Hunt" sta
tionery displayed Mrs. Harriman's
name and he thought that privileged
him to do likewise He and Schoen-
berg are the only Southern distribu-
tors of treasure hunt" tickets, he
said
Alfred Levy, an attorney for the So
called legal lottery" scheme, came
here from New York to assist the de-
fense. He said Reiss and Schoenberg
had been given tickets on consign-
ment, but that they were not duly ac-
credited agents of the treasure hunt"
Levy said the scheme was not lot
terry, but an ordinary cartoon puzzle
contest. Participants must buy 81

them to select the correct title" of

RELIEF JOB REFUSAL
DENIED BY OFFICIALS
Winchester and Allegheny Fig
ures Show Unwillingness
to Work Is Small.
BY the Associated Press


A Federal Relief Administration re-
port on alleged job refusals by per-
sons on relief in Allegheny County,
Va. today said "unwillingness to work
is very rarely the cause for relief
clients refusing to accept jobs"
The report, made public by Harry
L. Hopkins. Federal relief administra-
tor, was accompanied by an abstract
of a report on similar charges at
Winchester, Va.
The Winchester report, which was
prepared by William A. Smith, Vir-
ginia relief administrator. was similar
in tone to that on Allegheny County.
The study indicated the Ale
gheny report said. that the normal
channels for investigation and re-
moval from relief of persons refusing
jobs are providing an effective and,
if anything, an over-diligent safe
guard against such abuses.
Regarding Winchester, the abstract
said:
"a careful check by the State re-
lief administrator reveals that only
two refusals by relief clients have oc-
Cured in the last six months in that
county, and these were Immediately
closed. During the same period two
other applicants were denied relief
because they had refused jobs"

A proposal to exile long-term con-
victs to an American Siberia" has
been laid before Attorney General
Cummings by Co. C. A. Seone Of
the Army Signal Corps.
The penal colony would be set up

The four islands total 1000 square

the Alaskan coast, 1000 miles from
Hawaii and 1000 miles from the near
est point in the United States. Abso-
lutely treeless and with only sparse
vegetation, these spots are too remote
for escape to be possible in an open
boat.
Col. Seoane proposes that all con-
victs sentenced to more than 5-year
terms be exiled there in order to re-

ought to increase the rates on small
incomes.
Families with these small incomes
are now paying more than their pro-
portionate share of taxes and at the
same time are facing higher prices for

1T seems to me that by reducing
the exemptions and increasing rates

At the same time, Senator Norris,

to have the inheritance tax provision
returned to the measure on the floor.
This section, specifically requested by
President Roosevelt in his message to
Congress on June 10, was contained
in the House bill, but was stricken out
by the Senate Finance Committee in
favor of higher estate taxes.
Meanwhile, no word has come from

GERMAN-AUSTRIAN PEACE SEEN
Jewish Element Is Alarmed at Terms
of Reconciliation.


VIENNA, August IL (P.-The pos
sibility of q political and economic
reconciliation between Germany and
Austria without attempting to miti-
gate anti-Semitism in the Reich
alarmed the Jewish element in Aus
tria today.
Neuewelt, organ of the Jewish COM
munity, said it has detected a DISPOSE
ton among Catholics to make "a
separate peace with Hitler"
Austria, despairing of getting either
friendship or security from a proposed
pact between the Danube states, was
reported by tn, official Weiner-Zeitung
to have made two conditions for end
ing its bitter two-year quarrel with
Germany.
One was saio by the paper to be
dissolution of the Austrian Legion in
Germany; the other, the diSbanding
of the Austrian "Hilssbund" organi-
zation, accused of supporting secret
Nazi corps in Austria.
Neuewelt expressed a fear that the
apparent inclination of the Austrian
Catholic state to enter into negotia-
tons for a rapprochement is an indi-
cation that the church leaders are
willing TO effect a settlement for
themselves and leave the Jews to an
uncertain fate.
Not since relations were strained
by the assassination of Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss in Nazi putsch a
year ago have prospects for reconcilia-
tion been better.

allow restoration of the Hapsburgs,
