RECESS ENDS TILT
AT RAIL HEARING
Truman Delays Quiz for
Week After Witness Charges
Senator LibeIed Him.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Truman, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, angered by charges that he had
libeled a committee witness, abruptly
recessed = hearing OF the Senate R&il-
way Finance Committee yesterday with
the assertion that he could not give
the witness an "unprejudiced hear
ing"
He had just heard himself accused
Of ''innuendo. Misrepresentation. dis
tortion, libel and omission Of material
fact" The accusation was made by
William Wyer, treasurer Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Co. Wyer's book
keeping methods had been attacked
by Truman Wednesday.
When Wyer finished his hotly word
ed reply yesterday, the Senator
flushed and said:
Your statement Is exactly in line
with your bookkeeping. I don't think
it conveys truth to the committee or
to the public, and / want to say that
the committee now feels that for the
rest Of this day we cannot give you
an unprejudiced hearing.
I'VE are going to adjourn until
Wednesday morning at 10 o clock"
Wyer had read to the committee,
which is investigating financing prac-
ticeS Of the Van Sweringen railroad
empire, lengthy statement, which
said in conclusion:
Nov, Senator, have taken up,
point by point, the items covered by
your statement, and have referred to
it constantly as your statement, which,
Of course. 1t is, as you have read it
into the record. but 1 understand fully
that in preparing it you have had to
rely on the advice of others whose
views and attitude toward this pro-
ceeding may not be so public-spirited
as yours.
II think it is now evident that It
was not a judicial summary Of the
facts on both sides of the transactions
discussed, but that it was a summary
of the contentious most damaging TO
my reputation which could be win
moved out of several volumes of the
record.
Il do not understand the reason
why public funds appropriated for an
investigation which might lead to the
passage of sound legislation affecting
railroad financing, should be converted
to a project for the defamation OF
character"

u. S. TO DEVELOP
SUICIDE RAIDERS
Two Experimental Boats of Speed
Up to so Miles Per Hour
Are Planned,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Navy is prepar-
ing to follow the lead of foreign fleets
in developing small, lightning g-fast
suicide" raiders and scouting craft.
Details remain to be worked out,
Navy officials said today. They de-
clined to amplify a disclosure by AS
sistant Secretary Edison that two eX-
perimental boats, designed to attain
speeds up to so miles an hour, are
planned.
The expected speed would be greater
than that reported for any Of the
similar craft developed by Italy, Great
Britain and Germany, whose navies
have experimental with suicide"
ships since World War days.
Their swiftness, Edison said, would
enable them to dash within few
hundred feet of any enemy vessel, dis
charge torpedoes and dart quickly OFT
of range Of hostile guns.
The speed boat raiders, faster than
other surface craft, won the suicide"
sobriquet when used by the British
In the World War.
Speed and the ability to maneuver
quickly are their sole defense. With
8 or 10 men aboard, the British sent
them zig-zagging up and down the
Belgian and French coasts in search
of submarines and military informa-
ton.
The Italians have built them in
great numbers, and some of their
craft are reported to have reached
speeds of more than 40 miles an hour.
The Germans have concentrated on
larger but slower vessel
Intrigued by the military possibil-
1ties and comparative economy of a
defense mosquito fleet, the new Phil
ippine Commonwealth has been maxi
ing inquiries looking to the eventual
purchase of rs or more.
Naval officials say the suicide"
boats are effective weapons in land
locked, sheltered waters but may be
too small for the open sea.

and art appreciation lessons" said Mrs.
Hulburt in her second appearance be-
fore the Petworth art section. She
spoke to the group last year also.
Mrs. Hulburt began her story of art
with the Italian Renaissance and
showed the second set of prints in The
Stars campaign, Da Vinci's immortal
Mona Lisa" Raphael's Madonna
Tempt" Michelangelos Creation Of
Adam" and Titian's Duke of Ferrara,"
all of the Renaissance.
Reproductions Offered.
Beautiful color reproductions Of the
48 famous paintings are offered by The
Star in sets of four a week for IL
weeks at nominal prices, and three sets
thus far have been released. The art
project is being conducted In collabora-
ton with the National Committee for
Art Appreciation and is designed to
bring the benefits and beauty OF art,
old and modern, to every one in the
Washington territory.
I'm presenting any paintings to you"
Mrs. Hulburt said, Il must remind you
of Spinoza's words about art: Try to
understand before you blame or praise
Robert Louis Stevenson said that all
forms of art and all artists have their
characteristics and all have pat
tern"
Mrs. Hulburt offered as very per-
feet composition. Thomas Benton's
'Lassoing Horses" All Of Benton's
work, she said, has a pattern. This
painting is among the first four prints
offered by The Star. Benton is an
outstanding American artist, famous
in recent years for his murals.
She compared with Benton's work
that of Pieter Breughel the Elder,
whose Peasant Wedding" painted
when the italian Renaissance was
penetrating Northern Europe, Is in
cluded in the set OF famous paintings
available this week-the third-of The
Star campaign.
There is similarity, Mrs. Hubert
pointed out, although Breughel lived
during the Sixteenth century, and
Benton is painting today. Both pic
lures mentioned, she said. are packed
with figures, colors and action.
Great American Artists.
1--WE also have learned to appreciate
the works of the great American
artists, four of whom, including Mr..
Benton, we're presented by The Star
when its program began" Mrs. Hubert
continued. She referred to Winslow
Homer, famous for his watercolors
and his pictures Of the rockbound
coast of Maine; Thomas Eakins, por-
traitist. to whom great fame did not
come until he was past so, and Mary
Cassatt, the great woman painter, a
native American, but according to
the speaker, "wery French in her in
huence."
Where you possibly can," Mrs.
Hubert urged her audience, you
should visit the art galleries in WASH

here, too, literature and art and music

When Durer had completed his ap-
premiership as a wood engraver, he
departed from Nuremberg and did not
return for four years. He visited Ger

His Fame Spread.
Before long his fame had spread.
He hoped it had spread so far as the

he planned to combine glimpse Of the

with the business Of seeing Margaret.
He undertook the long journey, with
many stopovers and excursions.
The coronation procession was in

D.A.R. ACTS TO GET
FLAG FOR DISTRICT
Success Seen as Hazen
Says He Will Sponsor Bill
at This Session.

Revival of the long struggle to OBJ
tain an official flag for the District OF
Columbia, this time with every prom
ise of success, was announced today by
Mrs. William D. Leetch, District nag
chairman of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution.
The matter was brought to the spe-
cial attention of patriotic organiza-
tions on Navy Day, Wednesday, when
all State and territorial flags were
raised at the Naval Academy. The
District was the only unit without all
emblem
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen. a
leader in the movement for District
flag, has assured Mrs. Leetch he will
sponsor a bill authorizing it at the
regular session of Congress in jan
uary.
Since the matter has been revived
Mrs. Leetch said, number of organi-
cations. including the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association and the
Board of Trade, have assured the
D. A. R. of their cooperation. She
anticipates the necessary legislation
will be only formality this time.
Meanwhile, designs are expected to
be submitted. The tentative plan is
for the Commissioners and the Fine
Arts Commission to devise plan of
competition, with jury to select the
winning emblem.
Strangely enough, the D. A. R. and
other organizations were blocked in
two previous attempts to have author
izing legislation passed. Twice such
a bill was approved by the Senate
and blocked in the House. But no
such difficulty is anticipated this time.
A history of State flags and study
Of tentative designs for a District flag,
written by Jennie Gorton Walker OF
the D. A. R., appeared as a full-page
feature of The Sunday Star as far
back as February 20, 1927.
