They will grow their own food
for start. Rural electrif1catlon
will permit little factories to open
in their rural communities. Many
can be owned by the groups
themselves. Schools will teach
self-help and from the time they
are two years old the children
will be under the spell Of a new
life. Through economic freedom
and training for living they will
build their own new civilization.

BRIDGE PLAN
Underpass Also Is Included
In Scheme for Northeast;
Commissioners Approve

Proposed construction Of two
new bridges and an underpaSs
across the Baltimore and Ohio
and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
in the vicinity of New York Ave
nue. and BladenSbur9 Roard
Northeast was outlined today be-
fore the public utilities subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee.
Two bills we're before the sub
committee on which it took no
definite action.
One measure, which has the ap-
proval of the District Commission
ers and the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, calls
for bridge to connect Brentwood
Road and Mount Olivet Road and
an underpass connecting Rhode
Island Avenue at Fourteenth
Street Northeast with West Vir
ginia and New York Avenues.
In addition, the Pennsylvania
Railroad asks permission to con
struct a bridge across New York
Avenue in the vicinity of West
Virginia Avenue, so that it could
construct a siding connecting with
a 35-acre commercial zone.
Thomas S. Settle, of the plan,
ming commission, and Engineer
Commissioner Daniel I. Sultan
said the bridges and underpass
would substitute for three
bridges which the Washington
Terminal act Of 1903 required the
railroads build when the Commits,
sioners deemed necessary.
Although there was little oppo.
sition to either bill, Colonel Sui

Lyddane Case OutdOes
Fiction, Says Writer
Beutrice Fairfax SUuS:

Anne Lyddane will not be held
under a second warrant charging
murder plot, ruled Judge Donald
A. DeLashmutt in Rockville late
yesterday.
Only one, if any, conspiracy ex-
lists, according to the jurist's rul-
ing; therefore, Mrs. Lyddane is
still out under $4,000 bond, set
on Saturday. John H. Carnell, a
Rockville bartender, and Edwin j.
Davis were held. The packed
courtroom emptied with a general
expression of disappointment. Ap-
parently it could have listened for
hours.
If the Lyddane case were of,
tered to publishing house
which specializes in mystery
stories, undoubtedly it would be
rejected on the grounds that it
was too wildly fantastic and i'm.
probable.
Unbelievable?
But there it was, an unbeliev-
able tale, torn from real life.
Witness after witness swearing to
tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth-then
launching into testimony that
beggared the widest fiction.
The defendant added the last
touch of the unreal-was it pos
sible this attractive woman could
have even thought of the things
with which these witnesses
charged her? She seemed to
have stepped from the pages of
a recherche fashion magazine,
or a style show illustrating what
the well-dressed woman would
wear in the spring of 1885.

ready to renew his attacks on the

Navy Not in Position
To Fight, Says Standby
International News Service

The admission that the United
States is not in a position at pres
ent to wage war was voiced before
the House Naval Appropriations
subcommittee by Admiral William
H. STANDBY, chief of naval oper-
ationS.
Admiral Standley's testimony,
made public today, disclosed that
the Navy has no definite defense
program in case naval treaties
with large foreign powers are dis
continued. He said:
1--WE do not feel that we are
in a position to wage war or
carry q war to the other fellow
at the outbreak of a war. We
feel that our position would be
rather weak as far as auxiliarieS
are concerned. However, so far
as combatant ships are con-
cerned we would feel that the
enemy could not carry the war
to our shores.
BUILDING SPREAD
eve felt in view of the pOliti-
cal situation, that it did not
seem necessary for us to proceed
with a wartime building program
which would make us build 100
to 100 ships within a year or
two.
1--WE felt that it should be
spread out over a period of
years. All of that was based on
the assumption that the treaties
were going to be continued but
now, if the treaties are not going
to be continued, don't know
what will happen"
He added that the Navy feels
it should proceed on the aSsump-
ton that the treaties will be con-
tinued in order that the collec-
tive system of maintenance Of
peace may be carried on.
Fewer U. S. Ships
Admiral Standby presented a
chart showing that the number
of combatant ships in full COM
mission belonging to the United
States on November l, 1884. was
1859. On the same date Great
Britain had 172 and Japan 1853.
He declared:
This shows what happened
after the Washington treaty
(the last great naval treaty..
1t shows how for six or seven
years we laid down practically
no ships and how the other
powers continued their pro-
grams right along every year."

Percy Line, driver of the bus. All
three defendants asked prelimi-
nary hearing when arraigned be-
fore Judge Donald A. DeLashmutt.
With perfect poise, Miss Funk,
attired in blue spring ensemble,
related from the witness stand
events before and after the crash.
She was on the stand for slightly
more than an hour. The hearing
will be continued until late today.
Fatal Trip Described
Miss Funk related she and the
group of her pupils left Williams
port at 4:45 p. m. April II, at
tended the lecture at the Un1Ver-
sity of Maryland, then began the
Journey homeward. She said she
knew the road and was aware OF
the railroad crossing at Rockville
She thought, she testified, the
driver, too, was aware Of the dan
gerous intersection; otherwise she
would have notified him speclt1'
cally to take extra precautions.
Heard No Bell or Whistle
There were no bells sounding as
they approached the track, there
were no lights, and no train whls'
ties could be heard, she told the
court.
She said:
Il saw a flash but heard no
bell. As we started across the
track 1 noticed for the first time
the train bearing down on us. l
was also conscious of a car pass
ing on our left. As We were on
che track the driver seemed to
step on the gas. l thought we
could clear the crossing, but
then the impact came.
1T was raining that night but
the blur was not sufficient to
obscure all vision. For the
greater part of the journey
hOmeward the bus travelled at rs
miles an hour. But the bus
slowed down before we reached
the crossing to about 10 miles
an hour"
Cross-examined by Preston
Lane, former Maryland Attorney
General and counsel for the fire
man and engineer, Miss Funk as
serted she saw the railroad cross
ing sign as the bus approached
the track. The windshield wiper
functioned satisfactorily, she testi-
fled. She said they were about
eight or ten feet from the tracks
when she noticed a flash of light
from the right.
Drive rCareful
It was not necessary to caution
the driver, for he drove care
fully from Williamsport to Col
lege Park and from there to
Rockville, the school teacher told
the court. He was not the reg
ular driver for the school nor
had he ever before driven the
children, Miss Funk said. She
added she had known Mr.. Line
for two or three years.
Miss Funk replied in the mega
tive when asked by States Attor-
ney James H. Pugh whether she
was aware that Mr.. Line had
been convicted for failure to re-
duce speed at an intersection in
1922 and of reckless driving in
1924; and that he was involved
in an accident in March of this
year.
