Frank had won a decoration for
bravery during the war, but mere
poodle could throw him into cold
panic. When he had been about
Ruths age a neighbor's dog had sud-
denly gone berserk and attacked him.
An elder brother had beaten off the
dog, but Frank was left with an ugly
welt across his face and an instructive
fear of dogs.
The love that the ordinary man
saves for his dog Frank laviShed on
his horses. He had just bought the
stallion, Ink Pot, and as he looked
him over in his stall he was well
pleased with his purchase. The horse

Frank
Il know, sir, but Murphy is Ink
Pots pal. Ink Pot won't run without
him"
"Boshl" exclaimed Frank. Get rid
of that dog at once"
So Murphy's stay with the Meehan
stables was short. Jimmy Allen gave
him to friend of his and Ink Pot
was shipped to Lexington for the
Spring meet.
. However, Ink Pot didn't do so well
at Lexington. He was nervous, didn't
srest and merely shifted at his feed.
Worse. he developed a temper and
soon acquired the reputation of being
q bad actor.

barked Frank at his trainer. IF he

He misses Murphy, sir" replied
Jimmy.
Misses monkey-shines!" snorted
Frank. Who trained him for Baker

doc Sherwood, sir"
well, I'll see if Doc won't take him
In hand while"
But even under Doc Sherwood's care
Ink Pot didn't do any better. So
when the stable moved to LOUISVILLE
Ink Pot was sent back to the farm to

Frank had almost forgotten the

Sunday. Financial troubles were be-
ginning to wear him down.

inquired as he got out of the car and

Frank, anxiously.
The mares" answered Nancy "and
maybe that horse Jimmy Allen has
been fooling with"
INK Pot!" exclaimed Frank, start
ing on the run for the hedge. THAT
morse Is a man-killer."
The hole Ruth had crawled through
was TOO small for a man and the
hedge was too high to climb. SO
Frank was forced to run to the end
OF the garden to get around. AS
ne climbed the wire fence there he
could see his daughter trying to
catch stray dog and toddling dan
gerously near the heels of some black
morse. Frank tried to shout and
cleared the fence at one bound. but
oe1ore ne got near the child the dog
turned and. seizing her firmly by
the dress, dragged her back toward
the hedge.
In a moment Frank had the child
in his arms.
Gosh, that was close" he said TO
Jimmy Allen, who had come running
from the opposite direction.
Ink Pot probably wouldn't have
hurt her. said Jimmy. but Murphy
wasn't taking any chances"

LAW DEAN URGES
RED RIDERS END
Best Way to Fight Commu.
nism Is in the Open, Dr..
Fitzpatrick Says.

DR.. John R. Fitzpatrick, dean Of
Columbus University Law School, to-
day called upon the members Of the
Lions Club to demand of the next
Congress that the red rider" pro-
hibiting the teaching or advocating"
of communism in the public schools,
be repealed.
DR.. Fitzpatrick addressed the club
at its weekly luncheon at the May
flower Hotel. The address was the
second he has made in recent weeks
asking for the removal of the teach
ing ban.
Proponents of the rider, he said,
want to cure an evil by suppressive
forces, not by intelligent discussion:
they want to harass and terrify our
public school teachers; they want
our children to remain in ignorance
and to pick up what knowledge they
can from the streets, and, above all
else. they want to fight in a manner
that is not American"

tinued, sis a socio-economic germ
which. when brought out into the
open, dies almost Immediately. This
germ cannot live when exposed to
the rays of truth and intelligence.
but it most certainly can and will
thrive in the dark rooms of intol-
erance and bigotry. -
Our position on communism is
clear. 1t must be fought, 1t must
be stomped out. Instead of hiding
its defects. let's bring them out in
the open. Let's tell our children
about this system of government lest
they, in their youth and enthusiasm.
pick up the crumbs of knowledge
from the streets and from pamphlets
of propaganda"
Existence of the rider, Fitzpatrick
said, is "a step backward"
Let us tell them (Congress) we are
able in this community to fight COM
munism without resorting to sup
pressive measures and intolerance"

Contesting the action brought by

non Catholics in that section, who, as
he explained, voluntarily came to the

These proponents, Father Smyth ex-
planned, Swear that not only are they
not aroused or disturbed BY the
chimes, but that they enjoy the sound
of them; are uplifted and enthused by
them, and that they are a great spir-

Depositors Slow to Call at
District National and
Northeast Savings.

Depositors in the District National
Bank and Northeast Savings Bank
were slow to take advantage of the ad-
ditional dividends paid today for the
first time.
Only few were on hand early when
the banks opened, as the District Ma
tional paid out a second dividend
amounting to 25 per cent of the origi-
nal deposit, and the Northeast Saw
ings Bank paid 10 per cent.
The dividends, however, brought real
Christmas cheer, as they we're paid out
in plenty of time for Christmas shop
ping. Later on, it was believed, the de-
positors would flock to the two banks
in large numbers to get their checks.
In each case depositors are being
notified by post card to call on cer-
tain day.

Delegates to the National Restaurant
Association Convention, meeting at
the Mayfower Hotel, peeked into the
American kitchen today and decided
1t is no place for women.
"The ladies'" said Conrad Kolb Of
New Orleans, "are not cooks at heart.
Civilization has driven them into it."
Coptending that appreciation Of
cooking as high art is sweeping the
manly hearts of the Nation, he pre-
dicted the next so years will find
as many men bending over stoves
as women.
However" he sighed, "I'm afraid
man never will totally replace women
as cooks, for there are too many
clever females who realize tasty dish
is as good way to snare husband
as winning smile"
Women 'Too Impulsive."
Peter Borras of Washington, who
annually is host to hundreds of
national and foreign dignitaries at the
Madrillon restaurant, said women are
too impulsive to become great cooks.
TRY as they may" he charged,
"they can't help carrying their emo
tional lives into the kitchen"
A f-designated psychoanalyst Of
food, Borras advanced the theory that
certain moods bring about these ex-
pressions In food:
An angry cook-Too much sea-
soning.

GOV.N|CE WILLING
TOSM0OTH ISSUES
Executive Says Main Idea Is
to Pass Unemployment
Insurance Bill.
By the Associated Press,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, December g.
Gov. Harry w. Nice today said he
was willing to meet any committee
or group of the Legislature to iron
out differences, as the tossed
Maryland unemployment insurance
bill, drafted by the Governors COM
mittee. came up for hearings.
The Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committee selected
the House of Delegates chamber for
the hearings to give an opportunity
for proponents and opponents of the
measure to state their case.
With opposition threatening to cut
out the main provisions of the Gov
ernor's committee bill-opposition
partially based on political factional-
ism-Gov. Nice said his main idea
was to have bill passed in time to
protect the States interest.
L am willing to grant the request
of any committee or group of the
Legislature for a conference on the
BILL" the Governor said. It can't see
anything political in the issue. But
If there is any political difference, I
am willing to meet and try to iron it
out.
My main idea is to have a bill
passed to protect the working man
and the States interest. I am willing
to go as far as possible to obtain this
objective"
Representatives of the Baltimore As
sociation of Commerce arranged with
the Finance Committee to make their
position on the bill known during the
day. Labor interests and other groups
also are expected to appear before
the two committees.
Senator j. Allan Coad, Democrat,
ST. Marys, chairman of the Finance
Committee and ajority floor leader
of the Senate, said that his committee
would end its hearings on the bill to-
night.
The committees considered the
measure in executive session yesterday
afternoon, after opposition had made
itself felt in both the House and
Senate. 1t was reliably reported to-
day that Herbert r. O'Conor, attorney
general, had been requested to draft
bill meeting only the minimum re-
quirements of the Federal social Sc
curity act. Such bill, it is understood,
will have the support of the opponents
of the committee measure.

Bar to Police Interference Pend

Is Sought.

In a new move to keep pin ball
machines going here, the Pioneer
Novelty Distributing Co. today asked
the United States Court of Appeals
for temporary injunction preventing
police interference, pending disposi-
ton of an appeal from an order re-
Gently issued by Justice Daniel w.
O'Donoghue banning the devices from
places of business.
Through Attorney William r. Lch-
tenberg. the company, which controls
more than $500 machines here, told
the court that Justice O'Donoghue. in
District Court, had upheld the Police
Department and the district attor-
ney's Office in moving to confscate
the machines and had denied any re-
lief pending the appeal
The machine owners and operators,
it was contended, should be protected
by the injunction because they have
greater property interest than do
the law enforcement officials. 1t was
pointed out that Justice Oscar R.
Luhring had issued a preliminary re-
straining order in behalf of Pioneer.

DUKE FACES TRIAL
ON TWO CHARGES.
Misdemeanor Count Looms
For Handing Envelope
to Jury Foreman.
By q Stan CORRESPONDENT OF Tne star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, December O.
Jesse c. Duke, disbarred Washington
attorney, may be tried in United
States District Court here in the next
few days on two charges growing out
Of his connection with the Hoeppel
case, it appeared today.
Indicted by grand jury Monday on
| a charge of harboring and concealing
Federal fugitives-Representative John
H. Hoeppel and his son, Charles j.
Hoeppel-Duke today faces a possible
misdemeanor charge for his admitted
act of handing the grand jury fore
man a sealed envelope after the jury
was impaneled, as the result of
ruling by Judge Luther B. Way late
yesterday.
Dismissing the bench warrant he
had issued against Duke for contempt
of court, Judge Way ruled that the
lawyers act in handling a written
communication to Juror is crime"
that must be dealt with under a spe-
cial statute recently enacted by Con-
greSs.
He thus cleared the way for prosecu-
ton of Duke under the statute by
either the introduction of a complaint
by United States District Attorney
Sterling Hutcheson or by recall of
the grand jury to consider an indict-
ment against Duke for his action.
Since the grand jury was dismissed
yesterday, prosecution of Duke on
complaint is held to be more likely.
Attorney Hutcheson said he is con-
sidering one or the other course Of
action.
After conference between James
l. Laughlin. attorney for Duke; Judge
Way and Attorney Hutcheson, Laugh
lin said last night that the indictment
against Duke had been tentatively set
for trial next Wednesday, December
Is, which is expected to be the final
day of the courts session here.
Representative Hoeppel and his son
will both be brought here from the
District Of Columbia Reformatory at
Occoquan, where they are under SEN
tence of from to IL months, to tes-
tify in behalf Of Duke if the case, as
is expected, is tried in Alexandria next
Wednesday, Laughlin said.
Dukes attorney was confident that
a jury will acquit him of the charge
of harboring and concealing the
Hoeppels at Richmond.

DUE ET0DAYBEFORE
POLICE GRAFT Jury
Evidence Complete to Seek
Indictments in Prince
Georges Cases.
FOUR DAYS EXPECTED
BY BOWIE FOR PROBE
Marbury Indicates Auditors Who
Examined Books and Files
Will Appear.

At least Is Washington motorists
were scheduled TO appear today be-
fore the Prince Georges County. Md,
grand jury reconvening in Upper Marl-
boro to consider police graft charges.
States Attorney Alan Bowie and
Special Prosecutor Ogle Marbury said
their evidence was complete to seek
indictments against individuals named
by the Capital autoists in complaints
against alleged police irregularities.
Consideration of the documentary
data and hearing of witnesses should
not take more than four days, Bowie
said. The Keystone Automobile Club,
instrumental in starting the inquiry
last October, has been asked to con-
| tact nearly so drivers here for testi-
mony before the panel.
Auditors Expected to Appear.
Whether other witnesses besides in.
vestigators, who have analyzed docu.
ments and aff1davits, would be called
was not revealed by Bowie. It was
indicated by Marbury, however. that
auditors who have studied police ar
rest records, justice of the peace files,
bonding books and court disposition
papers would appear before the panel,
headed by w. r. c. Connick of Baden.
This special session of the jury was
recommended by the group when it
disbanded October 26 after hearing a
few District motorists protest the re-
puted law enforcement irregularities.
Shortly later the Board of County
Commissioners suspended three consta-
bles pending completion Of the panels
investigation. Other complaints di-
rected toward suspension of more
officers were not heard by the COM
missioners when the board decided to
leave the inquiry entirely in legal
hands until possible court action had
been taken.
Probe Begun Six Months Ago.
Actually the investigation was
started several months ago, when
Louis Lebowitz, Washington and
Mount Rainier attorney, began scru-
tinizing police files and contracting
local autoists. Later he took his find
ings to Keystone, whose attorneys
prepared cases presented to the jury
a week before its recess.
At least six individuals have been
named to receive the jury's attention.
1t is known. If indictments are made
trial will probably be held next month
unless the Maryland Legislature en-
acts laws changing the present Prince
Georges police system.
This legislation may come In the
January session of the General As
sembly. since the constabulary set
up has been challenged as unconsti-
tutional in Circuit Court in Upper
Marlboro. The court is now consid-
ering attorneys briefs in the litiga-
ton. II such statutory change were
made. revising the entire police sys-
tenn. trial would probably be held in
April.
