THRUSH ASSA|tS
RECKLESS DRIVER
Red Cross Official Tells
Sons of Revolution Value
in Safety Education.

In stressing the advantages Of
safety education, Richard Thrush,
assistant director of life saving Of the
Red Cross, in an address before the
Sens of the Revolution last night at
the Army and Navy Club, said 1t
could not be impressed too greatly
upon the people. The United States
leads the world in accidental deaths,
he said. Careful drivers often are
regarded as "sissies," he declared.
The careful driver, he said, Is not
protected by his own caution and
observance Of traffic regulations, but
is subject to the mercy Of the "sensa-
tion-seeking" driver, and 1t Is the
latter that must be weeded of the
highways Of the Nation.
Havoc of 10 Years.
"For the last 10 years an average
of $4,000 lives each year have been
lost-the equivalent of q small sized
city-and coupled with these deaths
have been 9,500,000 disabilities. The
cost of these accidents, the great
majority of them due to carelessness
is 00.000,000 year.
although human instincts are not
geared to machinery, industry def
nitely has proved that accidents car
be controlled. but public opinion
against carelessness is needed k
stamp out the terrible toll Of death In
the Nation"
Enough knowledge is available on
the subject of safety to eliminate q
great ajority Of accidents, Thrush
told the group, but he believes the
time has come fo- application Of the
rules of safety by every one, instead
of depending on the other fellow tc
yield the right Of way On a peremptory
blast of the horn.
British Plan Described.
Thrush told of a plan in England
to do away with horns on automobile!
and advocated that every person tr!
driving for several days without tht
use of a horn and then notice tht
improvement in driving, due to th'
caution that must be taken when the
almighty blast is not available.
Telling of the recent train-bus
crash at Rockville, Md, Thrush sale
training in first aid of the volunteer
firemen at Rockville, Hyattsville ant
Bethesda probably saved the life o
Jane Staley, who was administered
first aid at the sce,le of the wreck.
More than $4,000 members of tis
Civilian Conservation Corps have beer
trained in first aid during the las
eight months by the Red Cross, &C.
cording to Thrush, who praised the
National Safety Council, schoolboy
patrols, and the various automobile
clubs for their efforts to educate tht
people in safety. The Red Cross. HI
said, has an enrolment of 100000
members IN the Junior Red Cross
which he hopes will alleviate tn
accidents of the years to come.
The meeting, the last until October
was presided over by DR.. Thoma:
Edward Green.

sure that the Senator isn't quoted as
saying something occurred in the
Civil War when it actually occurred
in the Revolutionary War.
I'VE are especially careful OF the
names of towns and cities" Budlong
explained. "A Senator once used the
town of Portal, Wash, in a speech
made it Portland, and, Of course
there was a complaint"
But in correcting and clarifying,
the reporters are careful to preserve
a Senator's oratorical style.

Coal Miners, Operators
DeadIocked in Pay Row
International News Service

Despite the intervention of AS
sistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F.. McGrady, who took part
in many conferences during the
"two-fisted" days Of the now
scrapped MIRA as President RooSe-
velt's representative, the long
dispute between the bituminous
coal operators and their union
miners was still deadlocked today.
McGrady devoted the entire day
yesterday to conferences with the
two groups but when the confereeS
broke up at midnight no agree
ment had been reached. Further
conferences were expected during
the day.
The strike of the soft coal min
ers has been postponed from last
midnight until next. Sunday mid
night.
The miners are contending for
a 80 or 35-hour week and SUBJ
stantial increase in wages, while
the operators want to continue in
definitely the present contract
which expired last April, but was
extended from time to time at the
request of Mr.. Roosevelt while the
wage scale committees negotiated
for a new contract.

SITUATION
Gravity Of European
Affairs Keeps Wires
Busy to Capital

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 16
0.N.SO extreme gravity of
the European situation was re-
Elected acutely here today at the
summer White House.
Norman H. Davis, who has been
Americas ambassador at large for
the last two years and a half, was
scheduled to call on President
Roosevelt this afternoon. He was
to be accompanied by Mrs. Davis
and the engagement was listed as
"tea," but it was regarded certain
that the ominouS war cloud hang
ing over the Eastern hemisphere
would be explored fully by the
President and Mr.. Davis.
Officials Busy -;
Messages hummed across the
wires from the State Department
all day Sunday and this morning
giving President Roosevelt latest
information on Mussolini's appar-
ent determination to plunge Italy
into conflict with Ethiopia, to-
gether with all of the other rami-
fications that threaten to draw
most Of Europe into another war.
The President regards the Euro
pean crisis as all-important. Ad-
ditional help was brought from
Washington to man the temporary
executive offices in Poughkeepsie
over the weekend largely as re-
suit of the heavy burden placed
on the original skeleton staff by
the flood of exchanges on the
1talio-Ethiopian situation.
Delicate Situation
If and when Italy and Ethiopia
clash, the President is up against
a delicate decision.
The recent Congress passed an
act imposing an automatic six
months embargo on munitions
shipments to all belligerents. The
act, which Mr.. Roosevelt signed,
left it up to the President, how
ever, to proclaim when a state
of war existed.
Italy claims she is not going
to war against Ethiopia but is
merely taking the same general
colonization steps that Japan
took against China. In the latter
instance there was never any
formal declaration of war.

COURT FIGHT.
0NC0AL BILL
IS OPENED
Little NRA' Measure
Unconstitutional.
Foes Contend

Approval of the Guffey coal
bill by the courts would give Con-
gress the power to transform the
United States "a national social
istic State" Frederic Wood, coun-
sci for the Carter Coal Company,
argued in District Supreme Court
today.
James w. Carter, a stakeholder
in the coal company, is fighting
the new law on the ground it is
unconstitutional.
Branding the Guffey coal bill
as "a little NRA," Mr.. Wood
quoted the Supreme Court deci-
sion in the Schecter case which
doomed the National Recovery
Act of 1888.
Price Fixing Hit
Wage provisions and price fixing
in the Guffey bill are inSeparably
intertwined, Mr.. Wood declared,
and the Schecter case ruled price
fixing was unconstitutional.
Arguments started today before
Justice Daniel w. O'Donghue to
test the constitutionality Of the
measure.
While the bill only became ef-
fective August 80, the suit was
filed prior to that date and the
government has based it's principal
preliminary defense on the fact,
coupled with the claim that up to
the present time, the Commission
which the act creates to function
the provision of the new statute
has not been named.
Frederic w. Wood, attorney for
James Walker Carter, stakeholder
and member of the Carter Coal
Company of this city, the petit
toner, opened the arguments.
Effective Date
The Guffey act is properly
called, will become binding on the
industry when operators repre-
senting twothirds of the total
bituminous coal tonnage and rep
resentives of so per cent of the
mine workers of the industry have
signed a contract, the petitioner
claims.
simultaneously with the filing
of the Government ansper by
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett and his assistants, David
A. Pine and John j. Wilson,
voiuminous briefs supporting the
petitioners claim were submitted
to the court.
Reynolds Robertson, for more
than a decade law clerk to
United States Supreme Court
Justice Charles Evans Hughes, is
associated with Attorney Wood
in the petitioners case. Mr.. Wood

Brothers in their attack on the

Misunderstanding to testify in
the coroner's investigation Of the
assassination of Senator Huey
Long and the Staying of DR.. Carl
weiss, the Rev. Gerald L. K.
Smith, organizer of the Huey
Long share-the-wealth societies, to-
day charged that District Attor-
ney ]. F. Odom, conducting the
inquest, is a "coplotter in the as
sassination of Huey Long"
The Rev. Smith dramatically
strobe to the witness stand and
declared:
II refuse to give testimony in
this inquest so long as it is con.
Quoted by a man who is one of
the coplotters in the aSsassina-
ton of our fallen leader.

tigation is placed in the hands

arch pIOtter against our fallen
leader"
CALMLY DENIES CHARGE
The Rev. Smiths statement
was greeted by a burst of cheers
from the spectators jamming the
court room.
Smith did not give further de-
tails of his accusation.
AS he left the stand, District
Attorney Odom arose and quietly
said:
when this witness say I
plotted to kill Senator Long
can only reply that it is a ma
liciOuS and deliberate lie."
Odom's denial was also greeted
by cheers.
Odom is one of the few public
officials politically opposed to the
Long organization who still holds
office in Louisiana. He was one
of several men named by Long
last January as member OF a
plot to assaSsinate him.

The Rev. Smiths sensational
accusation came after Justice

Supreme Court, had described the
assassination of Long and the
death of his assassin, DR.. Carl
Weiss, jr.
DR.. Weiss was cut down on the
spot by bullets from guns OF
Longs bodyguards, his body
slashed by 81 wounds.

Justice Fournet, who attempted
to save the life of Senator Long
by striking the arm of DR.. Weiss
was the first witness as the thrice
postponed inquiry was resumed.
Justice Fournet testified the
shooting came without any warn
ing whatsoever. There was no
outcry and no conversation, he
said, DR.. Weiss stepped suddenly
up to the Senator and fired. He
said:
Senator Long grabbed his
side and screamed. Then there
was a rapid firing of shots"
Fournet, responding to Odam's
queries, admitted bullets were
poured into Weiss PROSTATE body,

of the capitol corridor, by memb-
ers of Longs bodyguard.
