No Hearing on Charges Against Elliott ROOse-
 welt; No 'Smearing'

Washington, Oct. IT, (UP)- Chairman Gerald P. Nye of the sem ate munitions committee, today viz orously defended his action in de- ciding against hearings on charges that Elliott Roosevelt sought a $50O,00O commission for selling air. planes to Russia.
 After studying documents sub- mitted to it, Nye said, the commit tee decided that if there ever was 8 contract between the presidents son and Anthony Fokker sit never was fulfilled and nothing was done under it and going into it would have resulted only in one thing Smearing of the president-one thing which no member of the com- mittee wanted to do."
 Nye said that "in the interest of fairness" he had considered it nec- eSsary to release yesterday the af- fidavit which Fokker filed 8 year ago, alleging that at one time he held a contract with Elliott Roose- welt for proposed sale of 50 mili- tary planes to Soviet Russia.
 Nye, who is republican senator from North Dakota, but who so far has remained neutral in the presi- dential race. said that he did not consider that his action in releasing the affidavit was anything more than fairness to all parties con- cerned."
 Obviously" he said, "when an attack is made on the committee, challenging it with concealing files, every member wants to resent it. Speaking as member. I thoroughly resent 1t. At no time has there been partisanship on the commit (HoAaAiHNad ,,n Ronn Al .-----

 It was regarded as certain that the entire assembly would approve the resolution this week.
 Already, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Australia and Ru- mania have joined actively in the pioneering for economic disarma- ment.
 The initiative taken by France, in devaluing the franc and reducing tariffs, was being followed by na- tion after nation.

son And Pearson

Washington, Dec. IL A long standing
quarrel between two members OF President
Roosevelt's Cabinet - Homer S. Cum
mings and Harold L. Ickes will be fought
out in the United States Circuit Court of
Appeal at Philadelphia tomorrow.
The quarrel concerns affairs in the Vir-
gin Islands, and the instrument by which it
has been brought before the appellate court
is an appeal taken by the defendant in what
has come to be known as the Mcintosh
case"
Both Attorney General Cummings and
Secretary of the Interior Ickes claim the
right to appear for the people of the Vir-
gin Islands in the appeal proceedings, it
was learned here today, and to that end
have caused briefs to be filed that place
them on opposing sides of the case.
Judge Wilson, Cummings appointee,
both prosecuted and judged the case after
the Government attorney George S. Robin
son, an Ickes appointee, refused to prose-
cute on the ground that there was insuffi-
cient evidence of McIntosh's guilt

several times before he got to the road he looked
back concernedly. This "courtin' lady" was
far more abnormal for Michael Campton than
being foolish over coyote he had raised from
puppyhood. In fact, the wobbly little creature
he had unearthed from its burrow, ten months
ago, had much to do with the opening of those
wel-springs of affection which were sending him
now to the Slater widow, for Sunday dinner
In the ten months of his captivity, Kip had
known no other companionship than that of the
big. kindly old bachelor. Never before had he
been left at home alone. Campton's every
activity had been his serious business While
Campton ate from his cluttered table, kips
bowl was always where the old bachelor could
replenish it from his own plate, with the least
exertion. His bed under Camptons bed, Kip
slept safe in the big mans nearness and when
Campton sat reading his weekly paper of
Sunday, Kip loved to browse where he could
feel the comforting touch of his boot.
The old bachelors going away now, leaving
him locked in the woodshed, filled the tame
littlecoyote with grave misgivings. He scratched
frantically at the unyielding door, stopping
now and then to sniff at the crack between the

frozen sea. The door of the woodshed

big bear of man, attempted to shut it quickly
behind him. His pet coyote, trying desperately
to follow him out, was caught between the door
and its frame.

Campton, his words squeezed out between teeth

With his boot, he tried to push his pet back

hanging over his ivory fangs, eyes sparkling. his
two thin, brownish-gray forelegs reaching out
fast and furiously. Campton got down on one
knee and with his wide palm against Kips
breast, laughingly hurtled him back into the
woodshed. Before the little fellow could right
himself, Campton had the door latched and
stood up with sigh OF relief He listened to the
frantic scratching inside then lighting his pipe,

about and climbed up the layers of wood to the
window, going so fast that he bumped his head
against the glass Unable to balance himself on
the layer of wood, he leaped down again, and
scratched and whined at the door till it seemed
to him that there was more to be gained at the
window.
Thus he went up and down, while the long
dreary hours of the afternoon dragged by. By
the time the early winter evening had settled
down upon the prairie. Kip was racing to and

eyes.
Suddenly his muddled consciousness was
startled by subtle something in the night air
which came through the crack in the door,
something alarming, and yet vaguely attrac-
tive. He sprang up the layers of wood. crashing
into the window with such force that the glass
gave way and fell with clink to the icy snow
crust outdoors, while he tumbled headlong into
the drift. At first he crouched in terror in the
snow, then realizing that he had unwittingly
made his escape from the woodshed, he stood up
firmly and looked about.
