POLICEMAN

FORCH|LD
Rose Mary's Custody Now
With Mercy Home From
Which Gregorys Took Her

ALEXANDRIA, June o.. In
the modest home of Policeman
BENJAMIN F. Swan, little Rose
Mary sat happily today at dinner,
unaware that a legal row may
snatch from her her new-found
happiness.
Patrolman Swan, however, is
confident that the pertty 31a-year'
old child will join his family by
Sunday. He said:
"The Alexandria representa-
tive of the Mercy Home talked
with me today and has reas-
sured me that Rose Mary can be
legally mine. However, I am
going to Washington Sunday to
confer with officials of the
Mercy Home to try to straighten
out this report that Rose Mary
has never been legally freed by
her mother"
FLOGGING BLOCKED
At the Mercy Home in Wash"
ington it was revealed simultane-
ously that the basis for granting
Rose Mary'S custody to Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry G. Gregory, upon
whom considerable attention was
focused yesterday as a result OF
their treatment of the child, was
, the receipt of a letter from the
sister of Rose Mary's real mother
bearing a Pennsylvania postmark.
The letter stated that Rose
Mary's mother was willing to have
adoption proceedings to go for
ward.
At the Alexandria Jail this was
confirmed by Mr.. Gregory, the
man whose desire to take a
thrashing rather than a jail SEN
tence was thwarted yesterday be-
cause no Virginia official was
willing to accept the responsible
ity for the act.
E. Joel TRACER, attorney for the
Gregorys, confirmed this today.
He stated that anyone who ad-
ministered such a flogging would
lay 01mSeu open W SAANAAA4dA
charges by the victim.
No Appeal Due
At the same time, both Gregory
and TRACER stated that they in
tend to make no appeal from the
sentences given Gregory and his
wife, Gregory was ordered to
serve - months in the Alexandria
Jail and his wife two months in a
state women's penal institution.
According to Virginia law, Gre
gory's sentence will be automati.

Gregory choose to work for the
State. He said today that he
would apply for transfer to road
gang Immediately.
The legal tangle concerning
Rose Mary's adoption is further
complicated by the question of
whether the adoption should take
place under District of Columbia
or Virginia Jurisdiction.
Rose Mary was born at the
House of Mercy in Washington.
Her mother is reported to be a
Washingtonian, although she is

OUTLAW GOLD
SUITS, PLEA
7OCONGRESS
President Asks Legislation to
Withdraw U. S. Consent to
Litigation on Currency
International News Service

President Roosevelt, in a special
message, today asked Congress tc
enact legislation withdrawing the
consent of the United States tc
be sued upon its currency OF
securities.
The Presidential move was re
suit of the Supreme Courts ruling
which held the so-called colo
clause unconstitutional but denied
petitioners redress on the grounds
they had suffered no actual loss.
Specifically, Mr.. Roosevelt
recommended that Congress:
/. Authorize and direct the
Secretary of the Treasury at
the request. of holders of gold
clause securities to make pay
ment therefor in cash, dollar
for dollar, with accrued inter
est, or at the holders election,
to exchange such securities fer
non.gold clause securities with
the same interest rate ard
maturity date.
2. Terminate any consent
which the United States may
have voluntarily given to be
sued on its securities, coins or
currency, and: -
3. Reaffir1n the fixed policy
of the United States to make
payment to all holders of its
securities, coins and currencies,
on an equal and uniform dol
lar-for-dollar basis, making ap-
preparations available for such
payment only on that basis.
mo Right to Sue"
The President said:
There is no constitutional or
inherent right to sue the Gov
eminent. On the contrary, the
immunity of the sovereign from
suit is a principle of universal
acceptance, and permission to
bring such suit is an act of
grace which, with us, may be
granted or withheld by the Con-
gress. The courts, it is highly
necessary for me to add, will al
ways be open to those who seek
justice, but they were not estab-
lished for use by a few to en-
rich themselves at the expense
Of the many, nor to enable a
few to haraSs and embarrass
sovereign action by the Govern
ment when taken for the bene-
fit to all.
mot only justice to the hold
erS of our currency and of our
securities who support and rely
ON our policy of equal and uni
form treatment to all, but also
the interests of our entire
people require that the Gov
eminent of the United States
make it clear that it cannot and
will not consent to the use of
its courts in aid of efforts to
sabotage the operations of gov
eminent or in aid of private
speculation.
"ThiS proposal reasSerts and
makes definite the control of
Congress over the securities and
money issued by the United
States of America"

lowing a White House conference

legislation.

JUNEAU CREETS NEW YEAR WITH
 LOUD WELCOME
Boat Whistles Lead Noise makers-Night Watch
 es Are Held

Backed by the "basso profoundo' of the whistles from vessels anchor ed in the harbor, Juneau's New Year entrance was a veritable or ehestral arrangement of noise-mak- ing devices. Automobile horns 5 mingled with the chatter of cow bells, while countless toy whistles piped their bit in the joyous well come. Adding to the noisy greetings were several powder blasts at the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany.
 The center of the city's New Years Eve celebration last night, if numbers alone are the judge, was the Elks' Auditorium where the annual Elks Hi-Jinks was held to the tunes of Earl Blinzler and his music. From Il o'clock on, this dance floor became more and more crowded until, at the magical hour of midnight, there were literally hundreds of persons damned into
 
 the hall Dancing lasted there until 2 o'clock
 But the Elks Auditorium was not the only spot of merriment. Beer parlors reported thriving business. while the city's restaurants were open all night and into the small hours of the morning for funsters, many of whom were anticipating a holiday today. Dances at Aux Lake, along the highway and in Douglas coupled with special mo- tion picture showings to make the joy universal.
 A more somber greeting of the New Year was found at the North ern Light Presbyterian Church and ct the Bethel Pentecostal Assembly, where Watch Night" services were held Church hymns, short ser mons and pageants were featured.
 But in the church, or on the dance floor, the greeting, at mid night last night in Juneau, was the same:
 Happy New Year!"

manufacturers of automobiles to re-
ddce the rate of speed He believes
that this will come about through
control by the Federal Government,
in time. When Congress steps in and
requires the makers of automobiles to
reduce the high-powered machines
they create, as a move in the direction
Of safety, the number Of accidents will
be materially slashed, Mr. Gartside
believes. He conceded, of course, that
many traffic accidents are caused by
slow-moving machines, but he thinks
that the speeders contribute more
than their share to the fatalities and
serious accidents.
A reduction in the number of trafic
accidents will be speedily reached, in
Mr.. GartSide's opinion. when weaving
in and out Of traffic lanes by busses
and large slow-moving vehicles Is
matted. He suggests that such vehicles
remain in the lane nearest the right
hand curb. This, he says, would
eliminate much confusion. for his
personal observation is that the buses
and other large vehicles shift their
course from lane to lane, causing
much annoyance and delay and in
creasing the likelihood Of grave ac-
cidents.
Operates Many Vehicles.
The National Capital Parks Is one
Of the largest operators Of motor
vehicles in the District of Columbia,
says Mr.. Gartside. In addition to the
