The Treasury, by virtue Of Con-

money issues and today it was
tackling a problem more pleasant
than rediscount rates-a problem
in the nude, as it were.
The question is whether Ameri-
cans shall be allowed to see the
Czechoslovakia film Ecstasy" in
which the heroine, Hedy K1eSler,
skips about for several moments
minus everything but her treSSes
and arched eyebrows.
Already the film has been pre-
sented to officials here but the
man who has "the Say"-Secre-
tary Morgenthau-waS unable to
be present. However, Mrs. Nor
genthau saw it-but kept her
comments to herself.
Ecstasy" has been denounced
by the Pope and Fritz Mandel,
the millionaire husband Of the
actress, is doing his best to have
it suppressed in Europe as well as
in the United States.
Mandel said he was offended
by a particular scene in which his
wife takes off her clothes, placing
them on the saddle Of a horse and
dives into a swimming pool.

Jury Being Chosen to Try
Prisoner in Death of Two
Clifton Forge Girls

F1NCASTLE, Va, Jan. 2-Shak-
ing with terror and apparently
on the verge of collapse, Philip
Jones, colored, was placed on
trial here today charged with the
Staying Of two white girls, Alice
Hill, 13. and her sister, Ellen, 9,
near Clifton Forge on Novem-
Der 8.
Rushed here this morning from
the Roanoke jail where he had
been taken when rumors of a
lynching we're heard, Jones was
closely guarded by 10 State high
way policemen in a courtroom
that had been closed to all but
necessary court officials and
newspaper men. Sedatives were
administered frequently to the de-
fendant in an effort to avert a
physical breakdown.
T, r. Hill, father Of the two
girls, was unmoved as he watched
the selection Of the jury.
Mob Threat Fades
Although more than 200 Blue
Ridge farmers crowded the cor
ridors Of the courthouse there
wer no signs of violence and no
talk of lynching was heard, al
though it had been rumored
earlier today that a mob was
forming and would come here in
an effort to wreak vengeance
upon the accusd.
ions latest confession that a
Clifton Forge white man was
chief perpetrator of the crimes
caused an hours adjournment on
request Of Defense Counsel T.
Warren Messick for a chance to
discuss this phase with his client.
Trial Delayed
This new development, dis
closed exclusively by The Wash
ington Times this morning, also
caused delay in selection of jurors,
with Judge Ben Haden, sitting in
Botetourt County Circuit Court,
warning potential veniremen
against newspaper reports of the
prisoners previous two confes-
sions. In one he implicated two
other colored men and in Sec
ond he took all of the blame.
A plea Of mot guilty" to the
charge Of killing Alice Hill was
entered for Jones.

SWANSON READY
To QUIT, SAY
RUMOR|TES
Table Talk of New Year De-
Crees Moffett, Ickes, Rich
berg Out
By EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt today de-
MED rather forcibly that he knew
anything about the published ru.
NOR that the White House had
intimated to Secretary of the In.
terror Harold L. IckeS that it
would be advisable to ask for the
designations of Louis CLAWS, di.
rector Of the division of investiga-
ton Of the Department Of Inte-
rior, and E. K. BurleW, admins.
trative assistant at the Depart
ment Of Interior.
President Roosevelt was asked
the direct question at his press
conference today and declared
that he knew nothing about the
rumor until he head it in the
newspapers. He said that he
thought that it was made up out
Of whole cloth.
He suggested also that there
were rumors and complaints about
many other people in the Govern
ment, and that this was merely
one Of them.
Rating Restored
MesSrS, CLAWS and Burlew con.
ferred with Secretary IckeS early
today at the Secretary's regular
executive staff meeting, follow
ing which neither would com
ment on the report, nor would
Mr.. Ickes.
It was pointed out at the
Interior Department today that
both men are under Civil Service
and cannot be removed from Of
flee unless formal charges are
brought against them.
Mr.. CLAWS, who lost his Civil
Service rating in December, 1908,
following difficulties" with the
Secretary Of the Interior at that
time, Richard A. Ballinger, had
his rating returned to him by
President Roosevelt early in Au-
gust, 1898, when Secretary IckeS
appointed him chief Of the In
terror Department division Of in
vestigation.
Still More RumOrs
Another rumor which has now
gone so far that it Is repeated
even among Cabinet officers and
emergency organization heads is
that James M. Moffett, housing
chief, is to be removed from his
FILA post and be appointed AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy, a
post now held by Henry Roose-
velt, who is to be appointed, so
rumor goes, Secretary Of the
Navy.
Secretary Swanson is supposed
to resign because Of i'll health;
and to make the rumor complete,
Breckenridge Long is to be made
housing chief, vice Mr.. Moffett.
Does Nye Get It?
Probably the widest rumor
which arrived here during the
holiday revelS was the so-called
gospel truth" that Senator Ger
aid Nye, the Munitions Investia-
ton Committee head, was receiv-
ing personally sums of money
ranging from $500 to $1,O0O-not
week or a month-but daily.
from a woman's international
peace society!
There is another red hot "tip"
going about. This one is that the
Cabinet and the Emergency
Council are both boiling hot over
Donald Richberg, the head Of
the Emergency Council, the man
who is called by his adoring
friends "the assistant President" !"
There has been a story going
around for a long time that a
large section Of the New Deal
is working to get rid of Mr.. Rich
berg, and that chief worker in
this field is Secretary Ickes, for
mer law partner of Mr.. Richberg.
