july 26 0.N.SO.-With defiance
written plainly on his swarthy
features. big "Bo" Weinberg took
the witness stand today In the
trial of his chief, Dutch Schultz.
for income tax evasion.
Weinberg produced a piece OF
paper written in Jail and read 1T
to Federal Judge Frederick II.
Bryant. 1t said:
eff the Government gives me
immunity I'll testify willingly"
U. S. REJECTS OFFER
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John H. Burke, said:
"Of course the Government
can't promise immunity"
Burke then began to question
the truculent Weinberg, but he
failed to elicit much information.
"Fat Sam" Morisoff, another
Schultz henchman, was brought
into the courtroom.
Weinberg admitted he knew
him. He grudgingly conceded
his acquaintance with Schultz.
"What was Schult1's occupa-
ton from 1929 to 1872"
81 don't know"
ibid you know that SchultE
was the beer baron Of the
BrOnx?"
"NO, / read it. the news
papers, but I didn't believe it."

with Dutch.
DOdges Answers
Repeatedly he countered
Burke'S questions with the reply:
81 refuse to answer on the
ground it will incriminate me-"
Burke strove to wiring direct an
swers from the defiant Weinberg
as to his own occupation during
1929, 1880 and 1881, but DO effec-
lively checked him with the same
answer.
The defense refused to cross
examine Weinberg.
Judge Bryant freed him from
the custody of marshals in whose
care he spent the night in Frank
lin county jail, when Burke an
pounced:
"We're through with him"
Weinberg grinned broadly, and
said:
"ThankS."

His Majesty's government are
prepared to prolong the principles
Of the Washington and London
naval treaties with such modifica-

expedient and necessary on &C
count of altered international cir

They attach the greatest i'm.

ton in the sizes of all the larger
types of ships and of the guns
which they carry, and they still
press for the abolition Of the sub
marine"
Clearly we shall none Of us
get exactly what we want"
IF all thl countries here repre-

a little of their maximum demands
for the sake of the general good
an agreement should be possible
between us which will not only
permit a reduction throughout the
world but will also add to the

N. Y. SLUM AID
IS LAUDED BY
FIRST LADY

Slum clearance means more
than just building buildings" in
the opinion of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Commenting today at her press
conference on the opening Of the
new slum clearance project in
New York city, she said the tear
ing down of slum areas lis more
of an educational problem than
one of construction"
Building of new houses, she said,
naturally is the first step in slum
clearance, but the question that
must be borne in mind always
by those engaged in housing is
that the slum dwellers must be
taught how to live in their new
surroundings.
Able to Pay Rents
Mrs. Roosevelt described the
Slum project in New York as one
which was likely to succeed. point
ing out that "for once" the apart
ments are being rented at prices
which the people in that section,
the slum district, are able to pay.
Rooms are rented in the house
for an average Of $6.05 month
per room.
The scheduled tour today Of the
new White House kitchen by the
women attending Mrs. Roosevelt's
press conferences was postponed
until next Monday because some
of the details are not yet COM
pleted.
The kitchen is to been only once
and because of this. Mrs. Roose-
velt said. she wants everything to
be completed first.
Takes Long Time
1T always takes so long, find, !"
she said, ito do the little things"
The kitchen itself, she said, is
now in fair working order. 1t Is
being used for the preparation
of White House meals, but there
is still some finishing work to be
done in a couple of rooms in the
basement.
Mrs. Roosevelt will make a trip
to Reedsville, w. Va. some time
this week to watch the classes in
the subsistence homestead project
school. She said she has never
seen the classes actually func-
tioning.

R REFERENDUM
PLAN FOR DC
FAVORED

Commissioner George E. Aliens
proposal for city-wide reterenda
on important legislative proposals
is winning support among mem
bers Of Congress.
Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes CD of Indiana, member
of the House District Committee,
today expressed her approval Of
the suggestion and declared that
she would use her power to have a
measure incorporating the idea
passed at the next session OF Con-
greSs.
1T am in favor of a referendum
or some form Of suffrage for the
citizens Of the District Of Colum-
bia in order that Congress may re-
ceive directly from the citizens
and taxpayers their views on
pending legislation" Mrs. Jenckes
said.
IT am glad to hear that Com
missioner Allen is suggesting that
such a plan be considered at the
next session of Congress. Com
missioner Allen has won the
gratitude of many members OF the
House OF Representatives for his
initiative in bringing this matter
up for wide discussion and debate.
1T has been my wish for some
time that members Of Congress
could get definite reaction on
measures before us other than the
fragmentary testimony that Is
given through subcommittee and
committee hearings. I am anx.
ious to find out to what extent Mr..
Allen desires to carry his referen'
dunn: how many he would desire
during the year, the cost Of gather
ing the votes, and the machinery
which he desires to set up to take
care of this project.
Says Others Favor It
IF the matter is presented at
the opening of the session from
a sound basis I will use all my in.
fluence to back it in the commit
te eand on the floor of the House.
II am sure from conversations
with other members of the COM
mite that they would be in favor
Of such a plan which would
tighten their work and also give
them a direct contact with the
citizens o fthe District of Colum-
bit which they lack now due to
the fact that they hame no suf.
frage here"
In connection with her desire
to set up machinery to bring the
views of Washington citizens di-
rectly to Congress. Mrs. Jenckes
pointed out the number of impor-
tant positions appointed in Wash
ington without regard to the feel
ings of the District people. In
this regard. she said:
II am strongly in favor of the
appointment Of taxpayers and
citizens of the District Of Colun!-
bia to the high positions Of pub
lie trust dealing with the welfare
of the District"
