CORRUPT" 4,5OO
CHARGED TO RITTER
Prosecutor in Impeachment
Says Sum Was Received
From Partner.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Opening prosecution arguments in
the impeachment trial of Federal
Judge Halsted L. Ritter of Florida,
Representative Perkins, Republican, Of
New Jersey told the Senate today the
Jurist 'corruptly" received $4,500 from
A. L. Rankin, former law partner,
after going on the bench.
The defense, which was to answer
later, has contended this money was
in discharge of an honest debt" due
Ritter under an agreement with
Rankin when their law partnership
was dissolved. Through this agree
ment, it was said, the judge was to
receive his share of then uncollected
fees, and $1,000 for his interest in the
partnership.
Perkins said the Ritter and Rankin
partnership was a small one. with
the income to each amounting to less
than SIS 900 a year.
Four microphones carried the words
of trial participants to all corners of
the chamber. The trial is expected to
last a week.
Appointed by Coolidge.
Ritter, 65-year-old native Indianan,
who received his judgeship appoint
ment from President Coolidge in Feb
ruary, 1929, sat with his two attorneys,
dressed in gray suit, and with a
bulging black brief case by his side.
1t was the twelfth Impeachment
trial in 1877 years. Senators were serv-
ing as "jurymen," with members of
the House prosecuting.
Perkins said when Ritter went on
the bench, mot one word was said to
any one" about the agreement with
Rankin to purchase his share in the
partnership.
IF there was any agreement" he
added, lit was locked up in secrecy in
their hearts"
Whitehall Receivership.
Perkins then took up the receiver
ship of the Whitehall Hotel, a West
Palm Beach property. the assets OF
which Judge Ritter is charged with
''dissipating.
He said Walter S. Richardson, trus-
| tee in bankruptcy, spent $4,000, or
$4,000 in 'fomenting the litigation be-
| fore he had a client and that Rankin,
attorney for plaintiffs in the suit, was
granted $4,000 as a total fee" by
Judge Alexander Akerman before Rit-
ter allowed him another $4,000.
There will be some who will dis
pute that that $4,000 was a final fee"
Perkins said, referring to Ritter's re-
ply to the impeachment articles al
ready filed with the Senate, to the
effect that the $4,000 was for CON
serving the assets" of the property and
the $4,000 for terminating the liti-
cation.

VEARMyFLYERS
KILLED IN CRASH
Langley Field Men Die as
Bomber Smashes Into
MOuntainSide.
BY the Associated Press.

FREDERICKSBURG, Pa. April
6.-In a tangled mass Of wreckage-
the remains of once-trim bombing
plane-the Army today found the
charred bodies of five flying soldiers.
missing for hours on their return
from. week end hop to Cleveland.
A storm caught the big twin-mo-
tored ship as it took of from Potts
town on the last leg of its trip back
to Langley Field, Va. last night. buff
feted it far off its course and smashed
it against the heavily timbered Blue
Mountains, killing its entire crew.
Flames burst from the bomber as
it crashed and kept would-be rescuers
from any attempts to save the trapped
pilot and his flying companions.
At Langley Field today the names
Of the victims we're given as:
Lieut.. Stetson Brown, st. Johns
bury, VT.
Staff Sergt. Ernest Endy, Obey. Pa.
Pvt. Arthur Metz, Chambersburg,
Pa.
Pvt. William Yost, McKees Rock, Pa.
Cadet Paul Amspaugh, Cleveland,
Ohio.
The flyers apparently were not only
beset by rains and storm, but seemed
to have been flying through a thick
fog, for the craft Sheared a 100-foot
wide path through the treetops before
plunging its nose into the side of the
steep mountain, $50 feet from its
peak.
The rough weather apparently had
tossed the heavy plane about as easily
as if it were feather. 1t was almost
so miles of its course. Leaving Potts
town on what ordinarily is an hours
flight due south to Langley Field, the
fame-swept bomber was found SO
miles to the west of its flying route,
few miles north of here, near the
BerkS-Lebanon County line in East
Central Pennsylvania.
The five soldiers had started out
from Langley Field Saturday, stopping
at Pottstown to let Endy out, for he
lived nearby. The other four then
continued on to Cleveland. They
landed at Pottstown again last eve
ming to pick up Endy on the way
back, and then took off in q rain
storm.
Appeared in Trouble.
The crash would have been avoided
If the plane had been $50 feet higher.
A State highway patrolman who saw
it said it appeared to be in trouble as
it approached the mountain ridge in
East-Central Pennsylvania.
1t tore a wide path through the
heavy timber as it struck, then dashed
nose first into a steep cliff, where the
mountain falls sharply away in a rs
foot drop. Nearby residents heard it,
but before they could get to the scene
the plane was aflre, its front buried
in the ground, its tail caught in a tree.
Coroner H. S. Click of Berks County
was summoned and discovered the
five bodies.
One of the motors was torn loose
in the crash. The other was still In
position. Three of the bodies were
tangled in the rear part of what was
the fuSelage. The other two, one Of
whom apparently was the pilot, were
trapped in the front cockpit. The
radio operator still had his head
phones in place.

Move Nav Come Soon.

The first move may come this Sum-
mer in the form of an anschluss with
Austria 1t will come while England
and France are in their present mood
determined not to fight; after the
Rhineland diplomatic ripples have
died away; as soon as Austria has de-
cided what she is going to be. CTht
arming of Austria was begun a few
days ago with the passage of the new

ments lpiH be pressed upon Hum

pire more pol0ertul than BismGrck's.
Germany would thus become tn,

At least this is the hidden vision IL
Hitler's mind, as perceived by thost

tance
One crowd believes Hitler will nevel
get beyond an Austrian anschluss
They think that will start the war
France and Italy will be aroused sufh
GENTLY then to go in and suppress!
Hitler before he goes further. Eng
land will side with the winner.
Others Foresee Strategy.
Another crowd places more faith il
Hitler's diplomatic shrewdness. The,
expect him to time and conceal eacl
of his moves as wisely as he did th'
seizure of the Rhineland. He will picl
the time when the other nations arr
otherwise occupied, when they arr
least inclined to fight.
All agree that Hitler is not ready
to fight yet. Their dope is that his
air force will not be ready before
late in the Summer. His artillery
uill not be fully depelop'o II until
merit Summer. He Ull certainly
not fight this year if he can avoid it.
The best guess as to the time Of the
outbreak Of the war, therefor, is thi;
Summer at the earliest, more prob.
ably next Summer, and 1888 at the
latest.
Russia is the only nation really
hankering to fight Germany now. She
sees the handwriting on the map ot
Central Europe. However, she is Woe
fully weak On communications and her
general staff is by no means the
brainest in Europe. She would really
be no match for Germany If Poland
sides with Germany, as every military
man expects.
Reds Fear Lone Fight.
A military defeat for Russia would
probably mean the end of the Soviet
social experiment and a return of the
white Russians to power. The Reds
therefore cannot venture alone. They
must shoot with France, and France
is in a confused condition. Her people
have been fed the dogma of fear. the
doctrine of defense. but her forts are
impregnable. Hitler will never run
his head against them. They were so
strong % years ago that the Kaiser
did not care to try them, but out
fanked them through Belgium. Now
they are twice as strong and the Bel
gian flank gate is closed.
There were two very good unad-
vertised reasons why France did not
try to push Germany out of the Rhine
land at once. One is that her people
are not in the proper mood to fight an
invading war. The other is that it
would have cost them upward of a
million men.
