Traffic Ticket Irks Senator
And Costs Policeman Sleep
Duffy, the Legislator,
Declares He viii
Fight Case.
Peace Officer Says Infor-
nation Vent ThrOugl,
Regular Channels.

Some slight difference of opinion
between a United States Senator and
q policeman cost the latter his sched-
uled sleep yesterday and brought from
the former statement that he does
not believe he Is subject to arrest for a
minor traffic offense, even If he COM
mitted 1t, which he doubts.
The principals in the case are sena-
tor Duffy, Democrat, Of Wisconsin,
and the policeman, who claimed he
placed q parking ticket on the Sena-
tors car, s. j. Prophet of the eighth
precinct.
Yesterday Prophet obtained an in
formation in Police Court. charging
Senator Duffy with having parked his
car in a restricted zone on upper
Connecticut avenue on February 28.
The license tag number was ID. G.
649," the policeman said, adding that
he did not know it belonged to a
Senator.
II just placed a ticket on it as !
would any other car" he asserted to-
day, "and I did not know the name
of the owner. Even when obtained
the name and the information, I
was not aware that 1t belonged to Sem
ator Duffy until reporters and an
empioye from the Senator's Office
called at my home while was trying
to sleep. I didn't get two hours rest
Asserting it would be difficult to
determine just where his car was at
the time of the alleged violation,
Senator Duffy declared that he
doubted his automobile was parked
'in one of those trick areas where they
let you park on one side in the
morning and another in the after
noon"
The Senator declared he intended
to make a thorough investigation OF
the case. He said he had talked both
with his wife and chauffeur and
neither had any knowledge of ticket.
He declared, also, that the policeman,
although he might not have known
to Just whom the car belonged, could
not have taken it for the property
of private citizen, since it carried
congressional tag.
Prophet said the information went
through the regular routine in Police
Court and when the defendant did
not appear, warrant was requested.
The warrant, he declared, might be
issued in week and it might be
months before the overworked Police
Court employees get around to it.
Senator Duffy said that If police
insisted upon going through with
the case, he would fight it. "As I
recently pointed out to Senator
Borah." he said, Il do not believe
members Of Congress are subject to
arrest for violations of city ordin-
ances which do not constitute a
breach Of the peace. While I do
not advocate violation of the law by
members of Congress, intend to

dustries upon which modern armies
depend"
Prentiss asserted that many incen-
diary devices and materials were not
perfected in time to determine their
worth in the World War, but with
progress made in research since then
the next war" will be a different
story
Citing that one German Zeppelin
dropped 80 flre-spreading bombs in
raid over London in 1915, Prentiss
argued that by using planes 1T is now
possible to reach large and vulnerable
incendiary targets at practically any
point in the theater of war"
White phosphorus, which ignites
spontaneously and burns vigorously
when exposed to the air, was used by
the Americans, British, French and
Germans in the World War against
troops. to set fire to woods and grain
fields and against planes and balloons.
When scattered from overhead
bursts" Prentiss said. "the phos-
phorus rained down in flaming par
ticles, which stuck to clothing and
could not be brushed off or quenched.
The larger particles quickly burned
through clothing and produced painful
burns that were slow and difficult to
heal"
Prentiss said one of the most effec-
tive spreading mixtures developed
since the war was a destructive liquid
containing various chemicals, oils and
INT.
"A satisfactory. spontaneously in
flammable liquid has great field of
application from aircraft" he reported.
for not only should rop-bombs filled
with liquid prove very effective on
targets, and even on cities of light
wooden construction, but by regulating
the ignition to occur after the lapse Of
sufficient time for the liquid to reach
the target, such a liquid could be
sprayed at night from low-f1ying
planes over relatively large areas with
tremendous effectiveness"

neer-concluded that in future wars
they will assume increased impor-
tance" in crippling and destroying in
dustries.
Modern warfare has left little on
the field Of battle that is combustible, p"
Prentiss said, land suitable targets and
opportunities for the use of incendi-
aries in the combat zone are very
limited and will continue to be even
more so as armies are mechanized.
"On the other hand the military
airplane has opened up vastly larger
field of application for incendiaries
in the areas behind the battle front
ard in the hinterlands Of the bel
ligerants.
TO an increasing degree, the
successful waging of modern war de-
pends upon the industrial organiza-
tion of a nation to meet the enormous
demands for military material. 1t is,
therefore, not at all unlikely that in
the wars of the future military oper-
ations will be carried on far into in

NEW DEAL IGNORED

Neither President Nor Cabi-

Speak at Convention.
BY J. A. FOX.

The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States is not counting on
President Roosevelt or members of the
cabinet in making up the list Of speak
ers for the plenary sessions Of the
forthcoming annual convention here,
1t became known today.
While the program was said to be
only in its tentative" form, it was
emphasized that this years conven-
tion. the last week in April, is to be a
business mans meeting" the infer
ence being that Government spokes-
men would be few.
President Roosevelt addressed the
convention in 1888, right after TAX
ing office, calling on the hundreds Of
business men gathered at the annual
dinner, to raise wages.
In his second year at the White
House he sent a message, warning
against rocking the boat"
With relations decidedly strained
last year. the Chief Executive was
understood to have declined a speak
ing bid, and when a question was
raised at the White House as to
whether he might not nave some word
for the gathering, it was said he
viewed 1t as Just another conven-

Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois

clared. "It is not for this country

More remains to be said about the
colonial question. This can be said
when the question of Germanys re-
entry into the League becomes more
acute than now, and after Der

The Frankfurter Zeitung said:
In giving notice to the world of
its readiness to return to the League,
Germany accepts with free will the
present collective system. At the
same time. however the Reich is
ready to add to this system a COM
pact net of workable, regional Sc
curity pacts-of course pacts without
military alliances if Germany is to
participate in them"
Pointing to Germany's old hatred
Of the League. the Frankfurter Zeitung

ton Of re-entry, and declared such a
course would enable the Reich to fur
ther work for peace. 1t added:

Assailing his critics as those who

Black. Democrat, of Alabama Of the
Senate Lobby Committee today car
ried his inquiry into new fields.
Committee members said consid-
cradle number of law firms are being
investigated in an effort to determine
the nature and extent of influences
directed at legislation.
Black made radio speech last night,
defending his committees actions, a
few hours after the Senate had called
for an explanation of one phase Of
the Black investigation.
On motion OF Senator Borah, Re-
publican, of Idaho, the chamber called
on the Federal Communications Com
mission to tell what aid it has given
the Black committee. There have
been reports that the commissions en-
ployes copied thousands Of kilograms
and handed them over to the commit
tee for scrutiny.
A storm of controversy arose over
the committees action in subpoenaing
a large mass of privatete legraptic cor
respondence. Jouett Shouse, Ameri-
can Liberty League president, assailed
the seizures" as Government ter
rorism."
To this Black replied last night that
the league fought the administration
utility holding company control bill
and then tried to keep its activities
secret.

Denying that messages of private
character had been examined, Black
said:
The league failed to tell you that
when it engaged in the effort to create
sentiment intended to handicap the
Senate committee in securing tele-
grams its spokesman was receiving
salary paid from funds created in
part by contributions from officers and
employees of the same holding COM
pany system which burned and de-
stroyed its lobbying kilograms and
files throughout the wide area in which
1t does business"
THE real opposition to this COM
mittee's action" he said, lust as in all
others, comes from a desire of those
who want to work in darkness, and
who dread the condemnation of the
honest patriotic people of this Nation
for their pernicious practices and
their secret and conniving efforts to
conceal their sinister activities behind
