MULLEN CASE
BEFORE COURT.
Military Tribunal Fails To
Grant Officer A
Dismissal
BY HOBART c. MONTEE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. CUP)
Army grey boards late Tuesday
completed their case against Col.
Joseph l. McMullen legal light in
the judge advocate generals de-
partment accused Of offenses
against the good order and mill
tary discipline of the army.
The officers in charge of the
prosecution believed that they had
proved that McMullen, former le-
gal adviser to the assistant secre-
tary Of war, had accepted two
railroad tickets for a round trip
to San Francisco from Joseph
Silverman, Jr., under circum-
stances which constituted breach
of the army's code.
Silverman is New York deal
er in army second hand goods,
and McMullen is charged with
having accepted the railroad tick
cts at a time when Silverman and
the companies he was interested
in were attempting to obtain con-
ceSsions under contracts then eX-
listing with the war department,
, and attempting to negotiate new
contracts, running into hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
Much testimony was introduced
before the general court MARTIAL
/ the first important military trial
to be held in public since Brig
adler General William d. Mitchell
was convicted Il decade ago on
charges Of INSTRUMENTATION.
Much Of this testimony dealt
with transactions in secondhand
clothes, and with McMullen's fire.
Quent visits to the assistant secrc-
tary of wars office to advise that
official in connection with the
contracts and other business rela-
tionS between the war department
and the Silverman companies.
Two witnesses were questioned
sharply by the president Of the
court, Major-General Upton Biz
ME, chief of artillery. Ger. Birnie
showed that he wanted to know
lall about the railroad tickets.
1 They were Lewis l.. Chamber
lain, city passenger agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who
sold the tickets, and F. A. Eldred,
credit manager of the Mayflower,
who negotiated the purchase of
the tickets on the account OF Jo-
seph Silverman.
Eldrcd testified that he, per-
sonally, arranged for the pur-
chase Of the tickets on Silverman's
account, and that Silverman had
given him personally a check to
pay for them and for Silverman's
bill at the Mayflower. The charge
for the tickets was $37O.7O.
+ After Eldred's testimony the
prosecution rested suddenly,
catching defense attorneys by sur
prise. Defense Counsel William
Leahy made a bitter and impas-
stoned plea for dismissal of the
case, declaring the prosecution
had failed to prove any wrong
| doing or intent to do wrong. The
motion was promptly denied by

TWO LARGE TIRE
PLANTS ARE CLOSED

AKRON, O., Feb. 10. up
Two big plants of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company were
shut down last night, "blOckaded"
by more than 1000 strikers and
sympathizerS who were left in
command when police abandoned
efforts to take in nOn-striking
workers. ....
Police made three efforts to
run non-Strikers into one of the
plants but each time Chain"
picket lines forced them to re-
treat. Fearing serious disorders,
Police Chief Frank Boss ordered
his men withdrawn.
81 can't do a good job without
trouble" he explained.
Immediate cause Of the labor
trouble, which threatened a ma
jor strike in the rubber capital,
long the scene of industrial strife,
was the laying off of ITO work
ers last week. The company re-
jected demand by workers still
employed for reinstatement OF
their fellows. The strike followed.
"Chain" picketing was in force
at plant No. 9, which had been
idle for more than a week but
which was to have reOpened TINS
morning.
Meanwhile workers in plant No.
l engaged in sitting down
understanding passively by
their idle machines. masmuch rs
this plant is the tire division,
"bottle neck" of all Goodyear
production lines, $4,000 workers
regularly employed at both FAC
tories were jobless for the pres
ent.
II is the most serious crisis de-
welcomed in the rubber industry
since last April when union work
ers threatened to fight for recog-
milton. Federal intervention avert
ed a strike then.
"a majority of our men want
to work" the Goodyear company
said in a statement. at will be up
to the mayor, the sheriff, the gov
ernor and the people who have
much at stake, to see that they

MARLEN PEW DIES
AFTER OPERATION
Former Editor and Publisher
Editor Crusaded for
Freedom of Press.
| Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star,
NEW YORK, October 16.:-Marlen E..
Pew. editor until recently of Editor and
Publisher, a weekly newspaper trade
journal, died yesterday at Misericordia
Hospital scarcely five hours after he
had undergone an operation for a
throat ailment. He was So years old.
Surviving are three children. Marlen
E. Pew, jr.; Samuel Horace Pew and
Miss Susan Margaret Pew. His wife,
the former Miss Margaret Susan Barr,
whom he married in 1910, obtained a
divorce two years ago at Reno.
Mr.. Pew lived at Wading River, Long
Island. He had been i'll all Summer
and resigned early in June as editor,
vice president and member of the
Board of Directors of Editor and Pub
Usher. He had been editor of the pub
lication since 1924, and after his resig-
nation continued his personal column
in its pages, SHOP Talk at Thirty"
Forty-two Years in Work.
Marlen Edwin Pew understood news
paper work from an association of AZ
YEATS III cdllOI IOOlIlo anu ChNSo-
tives Offices of newspapers, press asso-
Citations and magazines. His expert
ence led him to conclude that the
newspaper business was business
plus vast array of public and private
responsibilities and loyalties, basic
factor of a political system which de-
pends on thorough ventilation of the
facts of existence to make democracy
safe and popular.
He crusaded vigorously for a free
press and as vigorously advocated a
critical, crusading. conscientious.
intelligent public service journalism"
Such journalism, he said, was "the
forerunner of our best fortunes in the
past and its widespread practice Is
the best augury of the future. espe-
cially in this favored America. I"
Mr.. Pew held that three institu-
tions stood definitely apart and
justifiably free of all restraint-"free
even to 60 wrong" These were re-
ligion, free speech and free press.
Mr.. Pew was born at Miles, Ohio. a
son of Horace Samuel Pew and Mary
Elizabeth Tucker -Edmonds Pew. After
a public school education he joined
the staff of the Cleveland Press as
a reporter in 1894. Three years later
he came to New York as representa-
tive of the Scripps-McRae Press As
sociation, with which he remained
until 1900.
Helped Organize L. p.
During the next seven years he
served in various editorial capacities
with the New York Evening journal
and as Eastern manager of the News
paper Enterprise Association, Of which
frcm 1907 until 1910, he was editor.
He was editor of the Boston Traveller
in 1910-12.
He was one of the organizers of the
United Press Association and was its
news manager briefly in 1912, ano
then went to Philadelphia for two
years as editor of the News-Post.
Newton D. Baker summoned Mr.
Pew to Washington in 1918 to be his
personal representative on publicity
to keep the public informed on the
activities Of the War Department. In
this capacity Mr.. Pew devised the
American system of publishing war
casualty lists and the method adopted
by the Army and Navy of issuing au-
thorized statements for publication.
