GRAYSON GIVEN
2-NONTH STAY

Arraignment Of John Cooke
Grayson, a 64-year-old former
chief clerk in the office of the
chief bank examiner of the Treas
ury Department, on a District Su.
preme Court indictment involving
the failure of the Park Savings
Bank, was postponed until May 18
by Justice Jesse c. Adkins today
because Mr.. Grayson is still seri-
ously ill at Charlottesville, Va.
Several times since Mr.. Gray
sons indictment he has been
granted continuances because of
his health. The continuance today
followed the report of DR.. James
Wallace Esler, appointed by the
court to go to Charlottesville and
examine the defendant, to AS
sistant United States Attorney
John w. Fihelly that Mr.. Grayson
is suffering from hardening of the
arteries, enlargement of the heart,
angina pectoris and high-blood
pressure. It would be hazardous
to his life to require him to leave
his bed for arraignment, the
physician reported.
The indictment against Mr..
Grayson, a brother of Rear Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson, accuses
him of conspiring with officials of
the closed bank by informing
them when bank examiners were
on their way to inspect the banks
books. This information, accord
ing to the indictment, enabled the
bank to keep its large shortages
undisclosed for a number of years.

WASHINGTON, March %
(UP)-Eugene L. Vidal, director
of the bureau of air commerce of
the department of commerce, last
night said that future tests of the
radio compass for airplanes would
be conducted between the eastern

install this type of compass and
would test the device on a flight
to Hawaii in the near future.
Rex Martin, assistant director
of the bureau of air commerce,
told the United Press that the res
ignation of Major Chester Snow,
director of the Pacific tests, may
have been due to the department $

Hawaii had been definitely agreed
upon.

fore Major Shows resignation
was received said the department
was delighted with the results OF

REVIVE PARTY.
Ex-President Issues Sum-
mons to Crush "Un-
American" Government

WASHINGTON, Mar. 23. (UP)
Former President Hoover today
summoned young Republicans to
rejuvenate their party and crush
the "un-American" government.
The message, which was in the
form of letter addressed to the
California Republican assembly,
was interpreted by some as a bid
for next years presidential nomi-
nation.
Hoover's intention to compel
Roosevelt to defend the .Gminis-
tration appears unmistakable.
By discussion he hopes to in
spire and revive the Republican
party. He challenged that the
theories of this government do not
work, are no longer a propagan-
died millennium. They are self
exposed His indictment of New
Deal policies shows the area of
dispute is confined to method.
There is no conflict as to objec-
tives.

tween Sheriff NJ. N. Orr and the

PARIS, March 23.-OUP)-
Troops hurried across France last
night with warlike precision, NOV
ing up to positions along the
Rhine as the governments latest
answer to Adolf Hitler's threat of
re-armament.
The war ministry confirmed in
formation that reinforcements
previously massed in the Alps, on
the Italian frontier, have been
ordered to the German "front"
to strengthen the troops immedi-
ately available for occupation of
the newly constructed chain Of
Notifications along the Rhine
border.
Official figures on the troop
movements were kept secret, but
it was believed sufficient thous-
ands were rushed northward to
check fears France might be
caught mapping in the event Of
war.
The troops ordered to the
Rhine frontier are well-trained to
operate the mechanical devices in
the numerous underground forts
which extend the length of the
Franco German border, to Bel
GUM.
Belgium likewise has extended
this string of forts to the length
of her frontier ending at the
sea coast. and is ready again to
stand with France in the event of
conflict.
The entire string-one Of the
most remarkable fortification Sc
ries in history of Europe-in-
cludes several hundred forts, some
gigantic in their ramifications un-
derground, with smaller fortifi-
cations interspersed in between
the major strategic concentra-
tons of troops within steel and
concrete dugouts.
The Frenchrhigh command is
working out plans to ensure all
possible measures to build up the
army in addition to the two-year
CONSUMPTION extension of Frances
