I'VE received a signal to hold off,"
said Co-pilot George Houle of Colum-

dacy for presidency Of the Chamber Of

statement when Edouard Jones, an
ANTIQUE dealer newly elected to the
Chamber. questioned his fellow Depu-
ties on the debt ISSUE Jones recently
returned from New York.
Herriot said he considered it "neces-
sary to make an effort to pay the
debt. which is the keystone between
the two nations"
However, Leon Blum. who is to be
the new Socialist premier. showed no
signs Of sharing his belief.

necessary to prevent its abuse, as
otherwise it could be used to override

In the statue before us, no un-

LEE ISSUES STATEMENT
BY stan Correspondent of The Star.


SILVER SPRING, Md, June l.
Branding the report of the State
Survey Commission regarding al
legedly illegal acts of the State Roads
Commission "a general rehash of the
charges which I answered last week, II
E. Brooke Lee, former Road Commis-
sion member, today said he was Ger
tain the Roads Commission did not
break any laws" while he held Office.
He also disclosed he volunteered to
appear before the survey body, but
was not called.
Maj Lees statement follows:
THE only new charge is a general
accusation of action by the State
Roads Commission contrary to law
during the period from 1880 to 1885.
This is a general, indiscriminate
accusation hurled at the previous
Democratic State Roads Commission
by the members of a partisan Re-
publican Survey Commission which
has just been voted out of existence
through a law passed by the last spe-
rial session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, which law was signed by the
Republican executive, Gov. Nice.
The 1888 regular session of the
legislature changed the allowance of
most Of the State gasoline money
from the previous basis of road mile
age to distribution based on popula-
tion. Under this change Montgomery
County shared proportionately with
Baltimore, Anne Arundel and Prince
Georges Counties, which are other
ihickly populated counties that con-
tain metropolitan districts. and with
Allegany County, which includes the
city Of Cumberland, etc.
My expense accounts were always
submitted in complete, itemized detail
and we're approved for disbursements
Us other routine expenses were ap-
proved. AS I said last week, I drew
less than 5000 during my two-year
term for mileage or travelling ex-
penses and less than another 5000
for hotel expenses in Baltimore and
Annapolis while on State Roads Com
mission business. All the other items
paid through my expense account
were for salaries of stenographers,
Maryland telephone calls on State
roads business and Office rent at $40
month"

BALTIMORE, June 1.-The State
Survey Commission left today a. final
report charging the former State
Roads Commission with favoring
Montgomery County and spending too
much money for right Of way.
The report said that although $685.
769,S31 was spent on Maryland roads
from 1929 to 1886, comments seem
to mediate that our roads are de-
teriorating and rapidly becoming Of
low grade. The Roads Commission had
Democratic majority until May, 1885
The Survey Commission had a Re-
publican majority.
As instances of the excessive cost"
of rights of way, the report said $685.
1913 was paid for the Kensington grade
crossing land, and $4,000 for land
and other costs surrounding the Coles
vile pike Both of these are in Mont
gomery County.
S1,005,606 Held Spent.
The Survey Commission said that
Montgomery was entitled, on the basis
of its road mileage, to s481, ,237 during
1888 and 1884. In this period, it con-
tinued, S1,005,6 was spent in the
county. The report went on:
"A careful examination of the
above list (of roads built with the
money! will disclose that many of
these roads either approach, border
on or run through suburban develop
ments in Montgomery County in
which one of the members of the
Road Commission was largely inter-
ested.
The report said attorneys were
paid $l46,097 in connection with
rights-of way from 1880 to 1886, but
that the work could have been done
for half this amount 1t accused
some attorneys of receiving large sums
for the work, but paying "a mere pit
tance" to other men to whom the
work was "farmed out"
A list of attorneys and the amounts
they we're paid, as listed by the re-
port, included:

NEW YORK, June There was
once a goldfinch in little shop be-
longing to a German cobbler.
The cobbler had spent good deal
of time teaching the goldfinch to
whistle familiar German folksong.
After the lesson had been learned, a
popular American novelist passed the
shop.
The novelist was EIary Roberts
Rinehart. She bought the finch and
returned with it to her home in
Washington, and installed 1t in a
cage by the side of her bed. For
long while that was ala goldf1nch,
cage and song.
And then Mrs. Rinehart began
opening the cage door mornings. The
goldfinch discovered the bump in the
covers under which were the novel;
lists toes. He perched there and sang.
Before long the goldfnch was riding
about the house on its owners
shoulder, even going to dinner.

He reiterated his charges that Dis

again challenged the tax data gath

and from former District Assessor

Statement by Blanton.
Blanton also asserted in his letter
that the President does not have any
control whatsoever over the District of
Columbia" This was in answer to
the statements Senator Thomas had
made last week, in pointing out to the
House group that Washington is con-
trolled by the Federal Government,
and that the President is vital fac
tor in governing the District. In re-
ferring to the position the chairman
of the Senate conferees has taken in
support Of the Presidents budget esti-
mate for a s5,70O,O00 Federal pay.

Your first bluff was that you
would make the House give Federal
contribution Of $4,000 by passing
a continuing resolution, but We called
that by assuring you the House would
amend it, ard refuse to allow it.
Then you bluffed again by stating
you would force the President to pay
the District expenses out OF Federal
relief funds so as to make all Of the
expense be borne by the United States,
and the President called that bluff by
stating he would use no relief funds
for such purpose.
Bluff Is Charged.
"Now in your letter you bluff again
by threatening to pass your ridiculous
resolution to let the President appoint
three men of the qualification you
specify, to decide what amount Of
Federal contribution Congress shall
give to Washington people. and that
we appropriate s5o,oO0 to pay these
men. And in your letter you say

vandenberg in Radio Speech
Says Republican Victory
Will Be Joint One.
By the Associated Press.

bv the Associated Press.
Republican leaders started the trek
to Cleveland today amid increased
activity by hackers of men who next
week will make final bids to become
the party's standard bearer in the
Fall election.
AS the race entered the home
stretch one immediate threat of a
third party collapsed when a Chicago
conference, sponsored by Farmer
Laborites, defeated a motion to call
an organizing convention not later
than September 5.
With attention for the time-being
centered on fast-movIng Republican
preparations for the big quadrennial
show beginning June 9, Democratic
activities were outwardly quiet as
plans went forward for the Philadel-
phia meeting later this month.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
among those prominently mentioned
as a Republican presidential possibil-
ity, spoke to a radio audience last
night in a broadcast interview by H.
v. Kaltenborn, commentator.
Vandenberg asserted that victory
for his party in November would mot
be Republican victory in any Or
dlnary partisan sense of the word"
1T will be joint victory of Repub-
licans and Democrats against a COM
mon enemy which is, in effect, third
party-the Roosevelt party"
"The man in the street MAJ not
know it yet" said the Senator at
another point, "but the Constitution
and the Supreme Court are all that
finally stand between him and his
loss of free speech, free press, free
assembly, free petition, free elections,
free religious worship and a thousand
other precious rights which still dis
tinguish America from Old World
dictatorships."
Vandenberg struck at the tax pro-
gram suggested by President Roose-
velt, saying:
THE power to tax Is the power to
destroy. An excellent example is the
pending presidential tax demands.
They represent the greatest legislative
This is a final assault upon thrift
and prudence. In the long run this
would favor big business at the ex-
pense of little business"
Another of the Republicans being
talked about for the nomination-Sen-
ator Dickinson of Iowa-faced a
popularity test today in his States
primary election.
Dickinson is up for denomination and
has five opponents, including Smith
w. Brookhart, his former colleague,
who was defeated for reelection in
the Democratic landslide of 1882. Sup
porters said that no matter what hap
pens in the voting today. Dickinson
seemed certain of getting the National
Convention support of Iowas % un-
pledged delegates.
JudSon King, director of the Ma
tional Popular Government League,
meanwhile presented what he said
were the utility records of men men,
toned as possible presidential nomi-
nees of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties.

lection or be subjected to special re-
straint in her contractual and civil
relationships"
View Shared by Five.
Associate Justices Roberts, Van De-
vanter, McReynolds and Sutherland
joined with Butler in the majority
opinion.
In his dissenting opinion, which
incorporated the views of Justices
Brandeis and Cardozo, Chief Justice
Hughes said he was unable to agree
that the New York case should be
controlled by the decision in Adkins
VS.. Children's Hospital"
II can find nothing in the Federal
Constitution which denies to the State
the power to protect women from being
exploited by overreaching employers
through the refusal of a fair wage as
defined in the New York statutes and
ascertained in reasonable manner
by competent authority" the Chief
JUSTICE SalQ.
He then pointed out that Tipaldo
had raised no question as to the fair
ness of the minimum wage he was
required to pay. The Chief Justice
also expressed the belief that the con-
stitutional validity of a minimum
wage statute like the New York act
has not heretofore been passed upon
by the Supreme Court, pointing out
that the District of Columbia statute
did not fix a minimum wage in ac-
cordance with the reasonableness, of
the services rendered by the employe.
Abuse to Be Prevented.
In discussing the statements in the
majority opinion with reference to the
freedom of contracts, the Chief JUS
tice said:
while it is highly important to
