but could not do so because he held
only an appointment to the Naval
Academy. Consequently, it is alleged,
he arranged a trade with former Rep
resentative John H Burke. who held a
West Point appointment, but wanted
one to Annapolis.
The trade was carried out, the Gov
ernment charges, and young Hoeppel
was given the appointment to West
Point. He failed in his examinations,
however, and a request for the ap-
pointment was then received from
Ives, a former olympic athlete.
1t is charged the son then went
to Baltimore under an assumed name
and promised Ives the appointment
for $1,000. The Government alleges
Ives accepted this proposition and
gave young Hoeppel promisory note.
Fails to Get Note.
Upon being informed the appoint
ment was illegal, Ives, according to
the Government, reported the Incl
dent to the adjutant generals Office
and the appointment was Cancelled.
Ives, it is alleged, then attempted to
get the note back, but did not do 50.
Witnesses to go before the special
grand Jury included Ives, Burke, Isaac
T. Blade, former secretary to Hoeppel;
Mrs. Nell Raymond, formerly Burke's
secretary, and two officers from the
adjutant generals office.
The indictments were returned be-
fore Justice Jesse C. Adkins. United
States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett and
his assistant, Charles B. Murray, who
handled the presentation OF the case
to the grand jury, said Hoeppel and
his son will be scheduled for arraign-
ment on the next regular arraignment
day.
20 Years in Army.
Representative Hoeppel, according
to his biography In the Congressional
Directory, served 20 years in the Army
as an enlisted man and 20 months as
an officer.
He was described as graduate Of

be happy, for though the whole world

ToBack Symphony
COmmissiOnerAH Asks
Support in Drive for
100000.

If Washington is to continue to
enjoy the benefits Of its own symphony
orchestra. it should support the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra's drive
for 100000 sustaining fund, Com
missioner George E. Allen said today.
The Commissioner commented on
the orchestra's campaign as follows:
When the National Symphony Or
chesra was first organized in WASH
ington, less than five years ago, the
people OF Washington were more than
pleased that at last Washington was
to have symphony orchestra OF its
own. 1t seemed only right that the
Nations Capital should not have to
always depend upon visiting orchestras
for its favorite symphonies.
"Since those first days, when DR.
Hans Kinder, conductor OF the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra, proved to
Washington the ability and talent OF
his group Of musicians, the residents
OF Washington have responded with
enthusiasm to his concerts. They
have enjoyed the opportunity to be-
come more familiar with the various
symphonies and composers, and more
than that, through its Saturday morn
ing concerts, the orchestra brings to
the children an opportunity to know
and understand music that they would
not get otherwise.
Since the residents Of Washington
have gained 50 much enjoyment and
pleasure from our National Symphony
Orchestra, 1t seems only right that
they should support this sustaining
fund drive in order that they may
continue to enjoy the benefits of their
own symphony orchestra"

Union Official.

BY the Associated Press.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, to-
day accused Donald Richberg of en-
couraging violation of Labor Board
decisions by his interpretations of
section Ia Of the recovery act.
Richberg's Interpretation Of nom
union employees rights under the COL
lective bargaining provision. Lewis told
the Senate Labor Committee,
amounted to encouragement of in
dustry TO refuse to abide by decisions
Of the Labor Boards"
Testifying at hearing on the Wag-
ner bill to outlaw the company -domi-
mated unions, Lewis also maintained
Richberg's interpretations encouraged
institution OF company unions"
Edwin Smith, member of the Labor
Relation Board, earlier termed the
company union "a broken reed in
accomplishing labor's N. r. A. guar
antees of collective bargaining.
He said company unions have grown
like weeds" since Congress wrote
section IA, however.
Smith, a former employe Of the
Filene Department Store in Boston,
maintained IA was written to insure
the workers receipt of a greater share
Of industrial income than heretofore.
The company union. employer -infu-
enced. he said. was not the proper in
strument for this goal.
Before Smith started his rapid read

ton Ogburn. counsel for American
Federation Of Labor auto workers, told
the committee the automobile industry
should be placed under the Labor Re-
lations Board.
Under the Wolman Auto Labor

DRIVE TO REDUCE
RELIEF LAUNCHED
Senator Adams Offers
Measure to Cut Work
Fund in Half.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A drive to cut down Che relief bill
opened in the Senate today with the
introduction 0f an amendment by
Senator Adams. Democrat, of Colorado
to cut the $4,000 ,00o, 900 works fund
in half, but leave the $3.50, COG, 900
for direct relief undisturbed
The amendment also would make
the life Of the act cne year from June
80 next instead Of two years.
Adams offered the proposal after
the Senate had approved without de-
bate an amendment by Chairman
Glass of the Appropriations Commit
tee, in charge of the bill, to extend
the life of the Public Works Admin
istration :or two years from next
June 80.
Adams said the appropriation in
volved a great principle"
Il have come to the reluctant con-
cluSion," he said, that the bill is un-
sound and will endanger the credit
of the United States"
Bill Overlooks Taxpayer.
Commenting that proponents of the
bill believed it would break the back
of the depression" he added:
Il disagree with that"
He added the bill overlooked" the
taxpayers and the 100000 unem-
ployed who have refused to go on
relief; that it overlooked a large
majority of the people in the interest
of a small minority"
Shouting and banging a fist on his
desk, the diminutive Coloradan as
serted:
you are going to destroy the credit
Of the Federal Government If you
carry out this plan"
Insisting he was speaking in the
interest of the Democratic platform
and presidential declarations, Adams
said:
II want 1t written that Roosevelt
led the country out of the depression
rather than into further catastrophe
and calamity"
Changes Theory of Relief.
He declared the bill changed the
entire theory of relief.
The present theory" he said. lis
that the Government owes an obliga-
ton to see that no man starves or
freezes, that relief is based on neces-
sity.
I'VE are proposing in this bill to
abandon the theory of supplying
necessities and put it upon a basis of
wages, of earning capacity. We are
going to pay an average of $50 a
month for what a man does without
regard to his needs"
Going on relief will not be objec-
tionable any more" he added. I'VE
are going to make it attractive"
Although a large bloc of Con
servatives" was expected to line up
behind Senator Adams proposal. lead
ers were expressing confidence the
bill would be sped to the White House
substantially unchanged.
The leaders expected to defeat
amendments such as the Wheeler
greenback and Thomas silver infia-
ton proposals.

AMENDED BONUS
BILL IS OFFERED
s-Andrews Measure
Revised to Make 1t
More Acceptable.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With administration cooperation.
the Tydings- Andrews bonus bill was
revised today to make it more attrac-
tive as an offset to the outright cash
payment proposals.
This middle-ground move came at
a time when the House Democratic
leadership was tossing aside suggested
gag rules for consideration Of the
issue, in favor of IL hours open de-
bate and a chance for the House to
choose whatever bill it wants to send
Senateward
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, introduced his revised
measure, considered by some to be
favored downtown. and Representa-
tive Andrews. Democrat, of New York,
was expected to follow suit in the
House.
Bonds for Certificates.
Under this plan, veterans could ex-
change their adjusted compensation
certificates for negotiable bonds. AS
now worked out with help of Veterans
Administration ofiicials, the measure
still would provide for issuance Of
bonds with interest-bearing coupons
which, if held until l945. would equal
the value Of the certificates due at
that time.
One change made was where a
veteran borrowed on his certificate,
the interest would be figured at only
3 per cent instead of a higher rate
from January /. 1882.
Another amendment would prohibit
the sale Of the bonds for less than
their face value for six months after
the act takes effect. Violation of
this would bring a $4,000 fine. Tyd-
ings said this was to protect the
veteran against unscrupulous persons.
Special Resolution Endorsed.
In the House the Rules Committee
indorsed a special resolution for the
chamber to consider the bonus bills.
Chairman O'Connor plans to present
it on the floor tomorrow. After one
hours debate. the resolution will be
adopted and the Vinson- American Le-
gion bill, which has been approved
by the Ways and Means Committee
and which does not specify how the
money shall be raised to pay the
$4,000 100000 bonus, will be made un-
finished business.
After 10 more hours Of debate the
first paragraph Of the Vinson bill will
be read. and it will be in order for
the Patman bill, with its provisions
for the issuance Of s2,000,0 100000 in
new currency, to be offered as a SUBJ
stitute.

Neither will the shadows of Gen.
johnson and Bernard Baruch for a
while. Administration spokesmen are
preparing to make it clear to the
country that Baruch has favored only
one of all the things that the New
Deal did-the economy act. AS this
act has been fairly well washed out
by more recent Government pay in
creases. etc. the implication is going
to be left with the country that so
has Baruch. He has not been very
conspicuous around here lately. The
last time he was at the White House,
few weeks ago, he wanted the Pres
ident to buy some tin, but nothing
was done about it. Also, the Baruch
war policy mobilization plan, which
was hot around the White House a
few months ago. now is gathering
icicles in the presidential cooler.
johnson StnI "In."
There is no need to Jump to the
conclusion that johnson is in bad
with the White House. Indeed. he
may have received a private pat on
the back for good work done.
The general, howeuer, is con-
sidered q hdSty felloD Who some
times gets undue eIhilardtion from
his imagination and releases it in
extraordinary speeches. 1t tgould
be dangerous for him to appear as
perpetual White House Spokes-
man because no one can be sure
,uhat he wiH decide to say merit.
He is strictly on his oWH nop.
This realignment should leave every
one happy. Father Coughlin un-
doubtedly will find it more congenlal
and less hazardous for his purposes to
work with the administration instead
of Huey. The White House will be
glad to wipe out any suspicious con-
cerning Baruch which may have been
erroneously created by Long and
Coughlin.

lation placed under her Congress

the first time April 6, 1888. The vote
was So to 80.
The bill now goes to the Senate
calendar and must await its turn,
although Senator Nicely is expected
to seek action on the measure as
soon as possible. 1t could be offered
as an amendment to the pending
work-relief bill II its sponsors so de-

said that he did not believe 1t should
be offered as an amendment to the
work relief bill now pending before the
Senate.
II am in favor Of the work relief
bill,' Black said, land do not believe
that any controversial matter should

whether the old allies would protest
jointly against Reichsfuehrer Hitler's
scrapping of the peace treaty. But

Italy and possibly others would be
sought for a defensive working agree

A solemn pledge among the three
powers that they fight together in the
event of new European war was pro-
posed in French military circles as
perhaps the most efficacious guaran-
tee of peace"
France also is hopeful Of support
from Soviet Russia. whose army is
being made one Of the most powerful
in Europe.
A joint protest to Berlin is regarded
as certain by officials. They said 1t
would follow consultations among the
capitals for an agreement on common
action, which perhaps would result in
the SignatorieS of the Versailles treaty
citing Germany before the Council OF
the League of Nations under article II
of the League covenant.
