Dogs at Press
Farley Chased
ByFirst Lady

Mrs. Roosevelt doesn't lose her
calm even when a couple of dogs
make so much noise that they
drown out her conversation.
Her press conference yester-
day was interrupted when Jack
and Jill, her daughters Irish
settlers, walked into her sitting
room and began barking voci-
ferously.
They made so much noise
that the First Lady jumped up
and addressed them:
Dogs, will you go away and
stay putt"
She chased them away and
returned to her press confer
ence.

BY JOHNSON
Californian Flags Back-Door
Geneva Entry and Offers
Four Reservations
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Fearful Of a Showdown" battle
now on the question Of American
adherence to the League Of Ma
tons court, Senate leaders to-
day sidetracked that issue tenn
porarily to call up the first Of
a long list Of major appropria-
tion bills.
The courts foes meanwhile re-
9oiced over the broadside attack
on that institution by Senator
johnson (RO of California. His
speech, charging American entry
into the court would embroil the
United States in European con-
troversies and carry it into the
League Of Nations through the
backdoor, was hailed as a master
piece.
Senator Reynolds lD.a of North
Carolina said:
"It was one Of the. finest
speeches I have heard since en-
tering the Senate. 1t confirmed
me in my judgment to vote
against the court. thought
Senator Johnson presented n
mastery argument against
pIunging the United States into
European entanglementS. He
knew his subject perfectly and
his presentation made q deep
impression on the Senate"
Senator johnson supported his
opening attack on the court by
offering four reservations to the
resolution of ratification.
Four Reservations
These reservations, which are
certain to embarrass Senators IA
voring the court, would:
l. Prohibit the court from
entertaining jurisdiction on any
question relating wholly or in
part to its internal affairs, in
Guiding immigration, labor,
coastwise traffic, the tariff, for
eign debts and all other domes-
tic questions which Congress
shall have the right to define
further"
2. Permit recourse to the court
"only by agreement through
general or special treaties be-
tween the parties in dispute"
3. Prohibit the court and the
League of Nations from trying
to assume Jurisdiction on any
question (which depends upon
or relates to the established
policy Of the United States, COM
monty known as the Monroe
Doctrine"
4. Declare the United States,
by joining the Court, assumes
mo obligation to be bound by
an election, decision, act, re-
port or finding of the council
or assembly of the League Of
Nations" and mo obligation
whatsoever under the covenant
or Treaty Of Versailles"
Offices Bill Up
Through Senator Johnson's &C.
tion, these questions must be
voted upon before a final vote
can be reached on the resolution
of adherence. Friends of the
court are ready to attack them
as needless precautions, contend
ing the United States is pro-
tected against all such issues by
the protocols creating the court.

punishment as the result Of q col
Nsion between two express trains

and 81 injured.
A preliminary investigation dis

Three cars caught on fire,
adding to the casualties.

Another Center Plan

To the Editor OF The Times:
The Municipal Center project
has been tied up now some five
years, doubtless due to the size
Of the undertaking and the
huge cost.
It does seem to me that the
present area will provide the
District government with build
ings larger than are actually
needed and that the cost is too
great. 1 suggest that Fourth
Street be cut through from
Indiana Avenue to Pennsylvania
Avenue and that Fifth Street
be cut through from Indiana
Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue.
The four squares then could be
used but their area reduced.

Hearst Speech Is Ordered
Into Congressional Record

The radio broadcast by William
Randolph Hearst, entitled Gov
ernment by the Proletariat," which
was printed in the Hearst papers
yesterday, was ordered inserted in
Congressional Record by unani'
nous consent Of the House.
Representative Blanton Cd, of
Texas, who requested it be printed
in the Record, termed it mag
nificent." He said:

read to every boy and girl in

"It contains many important

Abe Wagner, New York beer
runner, whose name was men
toned in testimony at the
Hauptmann kidnap trial yester-
day, was put on the spot" in
st. Paul in July, 1892, Detroit
police said today.
Miss Betty Cow, the Lind.
bergh baby's nurse, was asked,
in croSS-examination, whether
she was acquainted with Wag-
ner. She replied that she did
not know him.
Activities of Wagner and
Harry Fleisher, reputed "Pur-
pie" gangster, were investigated
in connection with the kidnap-
ing. but Detroit police say no
evidence to link the pair or any
other Detroit gangster with the
crime was found.

Halls HEARST
WAR On REDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 QN.S0
Feodor Rimsky! !Korsakoff, grand.
son Of the famous Russian com.
poser, Nicholas Rimsky.Korsakof
declared here that william Ran
dolph Hearst's recent speech on
Russia was "the first encouraging
note in the United States for mil.
lions of terror-ruled Russians"
Records confirm automatically,
he said, all Mr.. HearSt's state
ments describing "the agonies and
horrors of the proletarian para
disc"
Horrors Seen
Before he escaped a year ago
over the "corpse-covered" Soviet
boundary, he asserted he saw
some of the horrors personally
men shot in cold blood, famished
men and women eating dead and
diseased animals and human
bodies. He said:
"Authentic documents de-
scribe the utmost agony and
hOrrOr-executions Of the in
nocent people by the OGPU
agents without trial, calling
Kulaks those who had q decent
home, arresting them, and
sending them to penal col
Onies."
He said even old revolutiona'
ries, men who were close to Lenin
have been moved to complain
about hunger and horror. Men
in official positions admit the
reckless power and graft that
prevail in the provinces"
Villages Wiped Out
There is evidence, he asserted,
of villages wiped out by Red
guards because they failed to
give away their last bits of food ;
evidence of horrors and penal
colonies that exceed the terrors
of the time of Ivan the Terrible.
M. Rimsky-Korsakoff pointed
out that many who could give
evidence of the horrors of pres,
ent-day Russia are restrained by
the knowledge that revelation of
their action would mean their
instant execution.

Weary Of Bonus
To the Editor of The Times:
There are some Of us who are
interested only in the soldier
bonus to the extent Of being
bored by hearing and reading
about it, who wish some way
could be found either to pay the
thing or shut off the debate.
I am not a veteran of the
World War, although ! have
done my bit in the Army, and
while not personally interested
in the payment of the bonus,
now or ever, I believe it would
be a good thing for the peace
Of mind of the country at large
if some way could be found to
pay it and get rid of this thorn
in the flesh" as soon as possible.
In making this statement 1
am not considering the merits
of the case at all, and not even
thinking about whether the
Government is able to stand
the financial pressure at this
time or not. simply wish to
express what I believe is the
view Of a vast number Of citi.
zens who are tired of hearing
about it. That view is that we
should pay the bonus, if we are
going to pay it at all, at the
earliest possible moment, and
then, "for the love O. Mike" let
us forget it.
If the Government hasn't got
the money now I believe there
are enough people who are
wearied with hearing about it
who will lend the Government
a couple of dollars apiece and
will not bother if it's never paid
back. 1t will be worth two dol
lars to be able to forget about 1t.

Bonus A Debt

DVAAA0 "A OODv
To the Editor Of The Times:
In discussions Of the so-called
soldiers bonus. one occasionally
hears something to this effect:
"EUery other group in the
country is receiving relief, whv
not the UeterGns?"
This classification of Ameri-
cas- defenders with the unem-
ployed, and needy who are re.
ceiving Government aid, is not
only erroneous, it is unfair.
Adjusted service certificates,
commonly called the bonus" do
not come under the head Of
either gifts or charity.
They are instead promissory
notes signed by the United
States Government itself. They
represent an acknowledged debt
on the part of this Government
to the men who defended us in
the World War. In other words,
adjusted service certificates are
exactly what their name de-
Scribes. They are certificates
issued by the Federal Govern
ment to World War veterans for
the purpose of equalizing the
wages paid this nations soldiers,
sailors and marines, and the
wages received by civilian labor
ers in 1917-1918.
Remember, Congress acknowl-
edged this debt to its soldiers
in 1925. But it postponed pay.
ment for 20 years. Unfortun-
ately, veterans as a class die so
much more rapidly than non.
service men of the same age,
that few if any, will be alive in
1945 to receive the money due
them. F.. McLEIN

Wants Lower Rents


To the Editor Of The Times:
With the convening of Con.
gress and the trial Of a major
murder case and the elimina-
ton (attempted) OF gambling,
the rent question has been
showed into the oblivion the
high-rent chargers have pre-
pared for it, and now that that
has been accomplished, the
proponents of lower rents will
chafe in silence while the
under-dog still struggles and
scrapes to make his rent each
month.
When you can and have so
vigorously fought for the re.
duction in rents in Washing
ton, is it not possible, with all
the other big issues, to give
publicity to the high rents be-
ing unjustly charged and col
lected? While true the Govern
ment has restored practically
IS per cent Of it's cut, private
industry has not returned the
cuts it took, although their
profits have exceeded their
losses for at least two years
previous to the cut. Food has
gone up, and clothing, too,
costs more, and lower rents
are essential if a man is to
keep his table with food and
clothing on his family, to say
nothing of the doctors bill.

CHIEF Of POLICE
RAPSPOL|T|CS,
PARDON ABUSE
By JACOB G. LAUBENHEIMER
Chief of Police Of Milwaukee

By JACOB G. LAUBENHEIMER
Chief of Police Of Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE, Wis. Jan. 8.
Politics in police forces, precarious
tenure Of office for the police
chiefs, abuse Of pardons, proba.
ton and the indeterminate sent
ences.
These have all hamstrung en-
3orcement of laws and enabled
criminal elements to persist in
many cities.
SO, too, have legislative restric.
tions. Sometimes they prevent 10
calities from establishing sound
laws under which their police
forces can operate.
Four Major Factors
Four major factors have helped
Milwaukee achieve whatever sue
cess it enjoys in SuppresSing crime
and maintaining order:
/. Sound and constructive laws
under which the department op-
crates.
2. Permanent tenure Of office
for the executive head.
3. Absence of departmental poll.
tics.
4. Newspaper publicity which
has helped to maintain coopera-
ton between police, district at
torney'S offices and the courts.
Those fundamentals should hold
good everywhere.
The terrible toll in life and prop
erty exacted by gangs and criminal
elements can be-and must be
cut down. Give death to the mur.
derer whose crime was premedi.
tated. believe firmly in capital
punishment. / don't subscribe to
the theory all criminals are Just
sick.
Law Made to Punish
Return to the old psychology
that the law was made to punish,
arouse public antagoniSm towards
crime, and organize to back police
and courts.
Good police departments cannot
exist under executive changing
with every administration.
A chief under those conditions
Is tempted to make hay while the
sun shines his while the
getting is good" or devote most
Of his time to mending political
fences.
Under q plan such as Milwau.
KEGS, the mayor has no authority
to remove the chief. He is named
by o fire and police commission
he is fired by it.
Even then he may appeal to the
courts.
Good Job an Advantage
The commission itself is made
UP Of five men, one appointed each
year by the mayor, no two belong
ing to the same political party.
With the commissions authority
limited principally to hiring and
firing the chief and conducting
examinations for new men and
certain other lower officers, the
responsibility of building up a
strong department, rests with the
chief.
He can play politics, but it's
more to his advantage to do his
job well.
If the United States cities will
give their police this chance
therell be less compromising with
crime

cally from under his griZzled eye
brows. May I offer my congratula-
tions. and may I add that from what
have seen of your work am con-
vinced that the committee has come

of all this previous excitement,
whether it would be advisable to ad-

do you think, Sir Jerrold?"

We'll, then. in that case think we

which Osborne put forward for your
fathers invention, Miss O'Brien, was

of one of the most valuable discoveries
ever made in the field of metallurgic

manded Jerry.
Il don't think all the money in the
world could affect Miss O'Brien's
CHARM" returned Sir William gal
lantly. but there is no doubt that she
is in some danger of being extremely
we'll off. I have drawn up certain ten
tative suggestions, which I propose
to discuss with Mr.. Cresswell.
Briefly speaking, they amount to
this. I am prepared to put up cap
ital of 100000 which I think will be
sufficient to install the necessary plant.
In return for the sole right of manu-
facture I will pay Miss O'Brien s2o,-
600 in cash. and she will also be
registered as the holder of $4,000 81
shares. If these shares have not tre-
bled in value within the next few

well. I shall regard myself as an ex-
