<<TF1 WIN only 50 I'll be salts
1t takes more than vision Of
Il wealth to rattle 8-year-
Joyce Cissel, holder Of q
Christmas gift ticket which may have
won a prize in Madrid lottery.
Joyce was planning q California
trip today in her home at the Chastle-
ton Hotel, but only tentatively, just
in case. She meanwhile assures her
mother and father, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
Burke Cissel, she won't be disap-
pointed and cry" If the ticket fails
her.
1t can't do that in any case, for
the ticket was Christmas gift from
Capt. Colon Alfaro, Minister from
Ecuador, addressed to "Senorita
Joyce Cissel. in her hands, not to be
opened until the 25th, and a Merry
Christmas"
Joyce opened the envelope and read
the r-08935-almost before
she unwrapped her new doll, her fur
pieces and the many toys under
the Christmas tree. It was a gift
from q friend and admirer, and
joyce treasured it as such.
Only yesterday the ticket began to
assume larger possibilities. Capt.
Alfaro, Mrs. Cissel said, was attend
ing q White House reception last
night when he telephoned to say
he had seen In an Ecuador news
paper that agents of the lottery there
were searching for a ticket he had
purchased as the second prize winner.
Second prize would pay about $780,
600. but wire reports from Madrid
showed no number 0ss35 in the higher
brackets.
Capt. Alfaro, Mrs. Cissel said, ex-
planned he had no ofiicial conflrma-
ton that Joyce's ticket had won. and
added he had bought one other ticket,
which he had given to friend in
Ecuador.
The diplomat had met Joyce when
he called on her father with regard
to O real estate matter, and was i'm
pressed by her sweetness and wisdom.

Cummings Says Trial Evil
dence Was insufficient
for Verdict.
OPINION WILL RELEASE
FRATERNITY PRINCIPALS
G. W. Students, Held After Blaze
Here in 1888, Regarded as limo
cent by Attorney General.

Attorney General Cummings in a
personally prepared petition admitted
in District Court Of Appeals today
that the Government was in error in
its case against Edward j. PARTON
and Alfred H. Smith, former George
Washington University students. who
were convicted Of arson in the burn
ing in July. 1888. of the Sigma Chi
Fraternity House. 1912 N street.
In filing the confession of error,
the Attorney General revealed he had
assigned special agents of the Justics
Department TO re-enact the alleged ac-
tivities of the two youths on the night
Of the blaze.
THE Attorney General is Of the
opinion that the evidence adduced at
the trial did not justify a submission
Of the case to the jury" Cummings
said in a statement accompanying
the confession, land, in view of all
the circumstances involved. is salts
fed that the defendants are innocent
of the crime Of which they were con-
victed. He, therefore, requests the
court to reverse the judgment"
To Nolle Prose- Charges.
Cummings action will throw the
case back into District Supreme Court
with instructions from the Court of
Appeals to hold a new trial. Then
the United States attorney will nolle
PROSE- the charges.
PARTON and Smith were convicted
in October, 1888, when the United
States attorney for the District was
from to years each.
Cummings Ordered Probe.
Appeals from the conviction we're
noted and it was at this point that
the Attorney General became inter-
ested. Personally, ne went through
all the evidence in the case, became
convinced that the young men had
been wrongfully accused and assigned
agents Of the Division of Investiga-
ton to make a thorough inquiry.
The fire broke out shortly after
4 am. Sunday. July 9, and PARTON
and Smith testified that at that time
they were in the vicinity of Balti-
more. Md, en- route to New Freedom,
Pa, where PARTON had an engage
ment to meet young woman.
After reviewing the time element in
the evidence, Cummings said the
story as related by the defendants is
far more consistent with the uncon-
troverted facts than the theory ad-
vanced by the prosecution" They had
presented defense witness who testi-
fled she saw the two young men at
Gunpowder Falls Bridge, Md, So
miles from Washington. about day.

reau records to show the sun rose at
AIS that day.
He said also that two justice agents,
in car like that used by PARTON
and Smith, left Thomas Circle at AIS
am. october IL and covered the same
route as the two defendants had tes-
titled to, covering 678 miles to Gun
powder Falls and two miles back to
Hereford. They arrived at the garage
at 5:45 am, consuming / hour and
80 minutes
ITO have reached the Hereford
Garage at $50 am. it would have
been necessary for the agents to have

Cummings said, adding the justice
agents probably made better time than

CATHOLIC COUNCIL SPONSORS LECTURE
Taft School Faculty Mem. Der Gives Address on
 Europe Today"

John T. Reardon, head of the his- tory department at Taft school in Watertown, was the guest speaker ct 8 lecture and tea yesterday af- ternoon at the Waterbury Catholic high school auditorium given under ,the auspices of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women afiilliat- ed with the Diocesan Bureau of So- cial Service. Miss Mary Bennett was chairman of the reception and tea committee. Miss Kathryn Hayes, president of the council, introduced the speaker.
 MT. Reardon's topic was Europe Today" and in presenting in a gen- eral and comprehensive discourse the Italo- Ethiopian situation he gave an intelligent summary of the European situation today. He cited the possibilities and the probabili- ties of a world war, mentioning the reasons why the nations of Europe, individually, as well as the United States would not again favor war. He stated that differences are mot always" however, settled around a table"
 Mir. Reardon presented the 1tal- ian viewpoint in the present affair between Italy and Ethiopia. He said "1taly has 8 cause" As to the so- iution of the problem, he stated, nations do not agree. Germany, Japan and Italy, MT. Reardon ex- plained, have not enough possess sions and they fear economic in- security. Dictators are not healthy for 6 country, he brought out, and only serve to make animals of men: while at the same time these dicta- tors may be, end are honest and right In many things. No one wants to trust one man, he stated.

Faced with the additional annua burden of the various social.security laws, including the railroad retire ment act, the railroads will be fore ed to @ policy of the most drastic economy, with possible further re- auctions in working forces and enn- ployment, according to Edward E Loomis, president of the Lehigh Val ley railroad, in an article entitled Taxes and Labor" in the December Forum Magazine.
 Decrying the governments finan- cial policies, he states, For the fls- cal year ended June 30,I936, total collections by the federal govern ment reached the colossal sum of $3, SOC, ,0Q0, 900. Yet that amount fail- ed by more than $3,500, ,0o0, 900 to meet the appropriations for the same period. Tn other words, federal out go is almost twice federal nicome Tn addition, the present administra- tion has provided for emergency expenditures or appropriations, not included in the budget, which bring the total to almost eleven billion dollars, a terrific obligation falling on the shoulders of the taxpayers because now and in the future these emergency expjenditures, as well as general expenses, must be paid; and the only way that can be accom- plished is through additional taxes It must be learned by employees, as well as by employers, that industrial taxes cannot always be paid out of profits and that ever-increasing taxes can well have the effect of destroying not only profits, but in- dustry itself"
 Government bureaucracy and ad- vocation of government ownership of railroads and other industries are danger signals not only to these in- dustries but to all taxpayers, he af- firms. Under normal business con- ditions, the enormous sums paid by the railroads in taxes are available for the support of the various gov- ernment functions. About 45 per cent of all rail taxes go to the sup port of public schools. Tn the event of government ownership of rail- roads, who will replace the carriers with this contribution to the com
