ROMAN TO GET
NEW TRIAL

LEWISBURG, w. Va, Dec. 8
G.N.SO.-William Mavin Roman.
80, today returned to a jail cell to
await q second trial on charges Of
kidnapping his 14-year-old wife.
Dorothy, when she was but years
old.
Judge H. S. Sharp discharged
the first jury when after three
hours it found itself hopelessly
deadlocked. Roman probably will
be brought to trial again next
January.
Still loyal to her husband, the
young wife who declared on the
witness stand that she left home
with Roman voluntarily because
she loved him and because her
life with her parents was unpleas-
ant, planned to continue living
with her infant son at Romans
home.
Dorothy and Roman diSap-
peared from here in 1927, were
married in Oklahoma City six
years later, the girl giving her age
as 10, and came back to Lewisburg
last August. Roman was prompt
ly arrested on an indictment re-
turned in 1928.
1t was reported that the dis.
charged jury stood 10 to 2 for
Romans acquittal.
Judge Sharp had advised the
jurors that the defense conten
ton of Dorothy leaving home vol.
UNFAIRLY was invalid as a legal de-
fense, since consent had to be
given by her parents.

JESSE JONES
T0ACCEPT
BANKJ0B
RFC Head Offered
Position BY Moore,
Aide to Hull
international News Service

Jesse H. Jones, chairman Of the
RFC. will accept the presidency Of
the Export-Import Bank.
This was learned today follow
ing the resignation Of George N.
Peek as president Of the bank
owing to his conflict Of views with
Secretary of State Cordell Hull on
the Administrators foreign
trade program.
Presidency of the Export-Import
Bank was offered Mr.. Jones by
r. Walton Moore, chairman of
the board Of trustees Of the bank,
as well as Assistant Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Jones' acceptance will
be announced officially shortly.
Jones will retain his present
post as head of the RFC.
Mr.. Peek's walkout as president
of the bank marked the climax
Of his outSpoken irreconciliability
with Secretary Hull's policy Of
generalizing American trade con-
cesSions to all foreign nations.
Peek BOldest Critic
Mr.. Peek was the boldeSt and
most consistent Administration
critic of Secretary Hull's foreign
trade policy.
He vigorously opposed the
policy of extending to all foreign
nations the concessions which
this Government granted in trade
agreements with individual coun-
tries. He argued consistently
that the concessions should be
confined to those nations which
gave the United States definite
concessions in return.
Secretary Hull held this policy
inconsistent with his hope of in
ducing the world to restore the
freer flow of international trade
through general reduction of
tariff barriers under the most
favored nation treatment doc
trine.
Secretary Hull's International
ism in this same economic field
caused Raymond Moley, one Of
President Roosevelt's chief ad-
visers in the early days of the
Administration, to resign as as
sistant Secretary of State and
leave the Government.
Hull Reigns Supreme
With Peek and Moley out of
the way, Hull now reigns supreme
within the Government in his ef-
forts to restore international
trade and develop foreign mar
ketS for American agricultural
products through reciprocal trade
agreements which permit an in
creased flow of foreign goods
into this country.
The question uppermost in
political circles here today was
how many farm votes Peek's
resignation would cost the Ad-
| ministration.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-A bitter
controversy that rocked sport and

to an astounding climax today
with the probability that a man
will be allowed to retain two

The change of sex that makes
this possible was told in a

Stirred by criticism that he
was attempting to impose an oil
embargo upon italy and Ethiopia,
Secretary of Interior Ickes today
hit back with a denial that he
had planned any such thing.
Ickes declared that as oil ad-
ministrator he had no authority
to call upon the oil industry to
withhold petroleum shipments.
Furthermore, he denied that his
remarks at a press conference
two weeks ago could properly
have been construed as indicating
such a policy
Ickes brought into his press
conference today a transcript OF
his remarks two weeks ago and
explained that he simply ex-
pressed the general feeling that
all industries ought to help the
Government in it's efforts to
maintain strict neutrality by re-
fusing to furnish any war muni'
tions to belligerentS.
He quoted himself as having
said at the earlier press con-
ference:
They ought to cooperate in
letter and spirit with the efforts
of the Government to keep us
from furnishing war munitions
to belligerentS."
He emphasized the fact that in
his statement he used the Spe.
cific term "war munitions" He
did not elaborate on the earlier
use of this phrase.

SEEKS CLUE
IN DEATH
OF GIRL
Police Begin to Check
Withdrawals From
Bank Accounts

With a view of spurring possible
aid in the solution of the Loring
murder, the Prince Georges county
board Of commissioners at its
meeting at Upper Marlboro today
voted a $500 reward to the person
who gives information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the
slayer of Corinna Loring, Mt.
Rainier, Md, sunday school
worker.
Meanwhile, two of the inveSti-
gators working on the case went
to Cambridge, Nd, where George
Loring, father of the slain girl,
worked, to make a definite check
on his alibi as to his movements
at the time Of the girls death
The probers emphasize that Mr..
Loring is not under. suspicion, but
that this step is being taken in
carrying out the program to
check the story of everyone con-
nected with the case.
New "Clue" Fails
The tip that a former Navy
Yard worker who appeared for
duty, shortly after Corinna's body
was found on Saddleback Ridge,
several blocks from her home,
November 9, with scratches on his
face, is in Salem, N. c., has ex-
ploded, investigators said today.
Two Of the probers we're to make
q trip there, but have decided not
to go.
Lieut.. Joseph Itzel, Baltimore
detective in charge of the inquiry,
is interested in why the two bank
accounts of the Loring girl
dwindled so low just before she
met her death.
In checking this angle, it was
learned today, the investigators
have found that from March to
November 4, when the girl diSap
peared, she withdrew from saw
ings account in the National Saw
tngS and Trust Company $700
leaving a balance of $13.68. She
withdrew $50 on the day she dis
appeared, it was learned. All the
Withdrawals were to herself.
Drew on Savings
She also withdrew $445 during
the same period from a savings
account she maintained in the
Prince Georges County Bank and
Trust Company, leaving a balance
Of $35.45. Three of these with,
drawals we're to someone other
than herself. it was found, and
investigators plan to call in the
persons involved to learn what the
payments were for.
Lieutenant Itzel has been told
that Miss Loring had an account
in another bank in Washington
but to date it has not been To-
Gated He has asked Arthur Kee'
fer family attorney, to make a
check of Washington banks to de,
termine whether there was third
account in the girls name.

weeks old mystery are:

of war engulfed the leading pow
ers of the world
Convinced the United States
must act Immediately to
strengthen its defenses Chairman
Tilman Parks of Arkansas, Of the
House Committee handling the
war Department supply bill, Or
dered his group to assemble De-
cember 16 for hearings on the
measure.
Calls on Generals
Parks said he would ask for a
liberal increase over the S424, ,7OO.'
600 allocated to the War Depart
ment in 1885. The new military
program would embrace
Expansion of the Army Air
Corps:
Fertilization of the Pacific
Coast and the Southwest border;
Additional Notifications at the
Panama Canal and in Hawaii, and
increased munitions supplies.
The committee will consult with
Army commanders from the areas
to be fortified. Major Generals
Hugh A. Drum. of the Hawaiian
Department; Lytle Brown, com.
mandant at the Panama Canal
Zone: Paul B. Malone, Of the
Ninth Corps area at San Fran

defense program for their respec'
tive regions.
Coast DefenSeS

the Hawaiian Islands will be as
impregnable as Gibraltar" he said
We also must have defenseS for

Construction of large concrete

Army'S giant 16-inch guns will be
part of the expansion program
Inauguration of a five-year mill

Army bill.
At present the air corps has
1876 airplanes that could be used
in case of war, with an additional
314 under construction. In place
of the recommendations of the
Baker board. which would build
the Army air fleet up to 1890
planes within three years, Army
officials favor construction of 800
planes annually.
Air Bases Plan
Parks anticipates little opposi
tion to increased expenditures for
the military establishment.
Meanwhile, congressional Spon-
sors of the Wilcox plan which calls
for erection of large air defense
bases in strategic areas together
with an indefinite number of in,
