Max Strahl, "a, whom police
charge sold worthless stocks to q
nationwide clientele, was arraigned
before Police Court Judge John P.
Mcmahon yesterday and through
his attorney, Milford Schwartz,
pleaded not guilty to swindling
the 90-year-old widow of a former
United States Army general out
of nearly $1,000.
The complainant. Mrs. Helen j.
G. Reilly, of 1747 Q st. N. W., was
not in court. Assistant U. s. Attor-
ney Arthur Mclaughlin asked
Judge Mcmahon for a two-week
continuance in order that the case
may be presented directly to the
Grand Jury.
McLaughlin's request for q $20,-
600 bond met with violent objec-
tions on the part Of Strahl's
counsel.
Detective Sergt. Chester Stepp
said Strahl was arrested Saturday
as he was about to induce Mrs.
Reilly to sign an agreement "to
forget all previous transaction"
for a consideration of $4,000.
More than $4,000 was involved in
the stock transactions, Stepp said.
Strahl is at liberty on $4,000
bond set by his native State of
New York in a similar case, At
torney Schwartz told the court.
The defendant was remanded to
Jail when he failed to post the
$4,000 bond Judge Mcmahon
ordered.

ROME, April 15.-A throne IN
Spain, the political prestige OF a
dictator and q fabulous fortune
today became the prizes Of a tense
drama Of international intrigue
centering in Rome.
Happy ending" of the drama
depends on the outcome OF Spain s
civil war, for the prestige at stake
is that of Premier MuSSolint, the
throne is that of former King Al
fonso of Spain and the fortune is
that of Juan March, Spanish
"Croesus," who has poured FUNDS
into the insurgent cause.
If the insurgents lose, March
faces virtual bankruptcy, with loss
of a personal fortune Of 100000
900 peSetaS.
Mussolini, always resourceful,
may employ political and military
weapons to crush communism In
the Mediterranean, even If insur'
gent General Franco should lose
the Fascist cause.
To Alfonso, defeat Of Franco
would merely mean continuation
of his exile, though perhaps on a
slightly reduced scale Of luxury
and comfort.
He is reported to have gambled
10000, 900 Of his carefully boarded
fortune in the insurgent cause.
Although March told reporters
when he arrived at Naples en- route
to Rome and a reported talk with
Mussolini, that the insurgents
would be victorious within a

month, personally, it was learned,
March is not so optimistic.
A spokesman for March said:
March saw Franco In Spain
and while things are going well
enough tho war viii continue
another six months, perhaps q
year."
March and Alfonso have been
together frequently, but emissaries
handle whatever communications
pass between either March or
Alfonso and II Duce.
Intimate friends Of Alfonso say
he would give 10 years of his life
for one more year on the throne,
while others state he wishes the
throne for his son, Don Juan.

If the people would have prices

they must successfully resist GOV

INCREASED REVENUE OR REDUCED
EXPENSES

When business house begins to spend more
than it is earning, the sheriff is likely to appear at
the door, and take charge. The same is true OF the
individual, for when the outgo begins to exceed
the income something is bound to happen
For four years the federal government has been
spending more than it has been receiving in taxes
and as result the national debt is at the highest
point in history. In an emergency, 1t is agreed
that it is sometimes good business to borrow money
but as soon as that emergency has begun to ease
up the time has arrived for action in the matter
of reducing expenses as well as the borrowing.
Congress is now faced with the necessity of
levying more taxes or reducing expenses, and
while there is quite demand for increased eX-
penditureS during the coming year, the more So
ber-mnded leaders in the national law-making body
are wondering if it would not be possible to reduce
expenditures to a point where the present govern.
mental income will take care of the situation.
The discussion of reducing expenses hinges
around relief costs, and there is growing feeling
that the time has arrived for some drastic cuts in
relief expenditures. 1t is a known fact that pr.
waite industry has absorbed thousands of workers
who have been OH relief rolls, and it is also q
known fact that WPA officials are finding 1t quite
difficult to keep their projects going because OF
lack of labor Couple these facts with the one that
even before the depression there were several NIL
lion people in this country who did not work and
did not want to work. and you get picture OF the
present situation in this country.
The government is no different from a private
business. If the earnings of business house drop
there must be at least corresponding cut IN ex'
pense if bankruptcy is to be avoided. If Uncle Sam
is to weather the financial storm which is ahead
of him, he too, must reduce his expenses. And re-
lief work should doubtless get the knife first

LAST OF THE SUICIDE SQUAD"

One of Americas great military heroes has just
died. His name was known to few; his reward was
slight, but his courage and that of his comrades
will never be forgotten. Their heroism was not on
the field of battle but in the laboratory The enc
nv they faced was an unknown and deadly one;
they helped both to identify and to overcome that
enemy. Charles G. Sonntag, buried in Arlington
Cemetery two weeks ago, was the last survivor Oh
DR.. Walter Reeds classic experiment to determine
whether mosquitoes transmitted yellow fever. lie
was one of several soldiers who, volunteering as
human guinea pigs, permitted themselves to be
bitten by the germ-laden insects. And this in
day when yellow fever mortality averaged fifty per
cent; when its cause, prevention and cure bahled
medical men, Sonntag and most of his colleagues
contracted the disease All recovered, but one sci
enlist, Dr. Jesse Lazear, VIII chad shared the ex-
pertinent, died. The union of science and galantry
ferreted out the secret of the plague, and now 1t
has been virtually wiped off the earth. Reeds sui
eide squad" has been acclaimed in Sidney Towards
play, yellow Jack" in Paul de Kruifs "Microbe
Hunters" and elsewhere. They were good soldiers
and their aid in vanquishing one of humanity's
most dreaded scourges contributed more to civil
cation than centuries of military victories.--St

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE CHALLENGE TO ROBUST CONVICTIONS

Every age is critical in world that has never
stood still.
In such periods of change and upheaval and
revolution and social cataclysms, there can be with
moral men but one tribunal to resort - that of
ones clean and interrupted conscience.
In such periods only one duty develops upon
men of upright walk and honest purpose-that of
ones duty to conscious allegiance.
What do you, as a personality, and in your per-
sonality, stand for in such times? What voice are
you hearing when crossroad comes and signs are
confused and babel of tongues are bidding for
your steps?
Are you standing for what you are standing for
by standing with others who are standing for the
same thing?
II is not q question today with American patriots
of mere allegiance to opinions or programs or phi
losophies.
1t is question of allegiance to the basic and
ever-endaring moralities
A man may be hopelessly wrong in all of his
opinions; he may never be intellectually senti-
mentally right on any issue, but if he is morally
right, he is of the stuff of which the continuing
order of life is made.
Quite contrarily man may be intellectually
and emotionally right in all of his opinions, and
yet everything he does coapses through the poison
of moral anemia
In this day of momentous change and decay and
re-brth and new creation, it is not question OF
having merely the correct social and economic the
ory It is a question of being loyal to the right.
Americans are being called, therefore, into an
unpleasant and unhappy experence-the expert
ence of coming TO terms with these pressing prob
lens of this hour through the highway of God
cleaned conscience?
Unpleasant and unhappy because in this day
everybody is more or less obsessed with the lust of
merely beng good fellow and the flabby phloso-
ply of expedency and soft-soapism and milk-toast-
ism has reduced nearly all of us to a spongy mass
of sweet nothings.
1t is high and vital time for Christian patriots
md American citizens to have convictions that are
moral, and the courage to bring them out into the
,pen to have allegances and Royalties that are
obtrusive and impairment and abusive and irritat
ng.
1t is not hard or hardened men the world needs
N this critical hour so amplifed with destiny But
it is men of moral hardness with spiritual back
bone.
The world advances only as ideas that conform
20 moral truth gather believing and courageous
men about them-men who dare to be different
men who hate majortieS if majorities are wrong
men who cling to minorites if minorites are right
