FACES CHARGE
OF TAMPERING

TAKOMA PARK, Md, June 49,.
First charged with tampering with
an automobile, Fred B. Hocket, 10
Quincy Pl. N. E., agent for Wash
ington tire finance company, was
ordered held for action Of the
Montgomery county grand jury
following a preliminary hearing
bfeore Judge Herman C. Heffner,
in Takoma Park Police Court
yesterday. Bond was set at $500.
Hocket was accused of attempt
ing to take an automobile owned
by Roy j. Linkins from the drive
way of the Linkins home on Grant
Avenue, Takoma Park, for an al
legged unpaid balance Of SO for
tires.
States Attorney James H. Pugh
declared that Hocket had no right
to attempt to seize the automobile
without due process of law.
Attorney S. G. Lichtenberg,
acting for Hocket, commended that
under the law his client had a
right to take the car, as the agree
ment provided for such action in
case of failure to pay for the tires.
Linkins said the tires he pur.
chased we're unsatisfactory and
he had refused to pay the So
balance when the company failed
to make an adjustment. The tires
are now in the cellar of his home,
he said.

Pointing out that the Capital
Transit Company last year lost
money in its operation Of buses,
Fred A. Sager, chief engineer Of
the Public Utilities Commission,
yesterday criticized the company
for spending $4,000, 900 in the pur'
chase of new bus equipment last
year.
The commission expert, who is
known to favor street car opera
ton over bus transportation, in.
dicated that the transit company
could have spent the money to
more advantage to improve its
street car lines.
Sager indicated that the com
pany operated bus lines at a loss
in spite of the higher average fare
charged on BUSES.
The question was raised by Sa-
ger at the close of the hearings
before the Public Utilities Com.
mission in regard to the transit
company's request for a higher
token rate Of four tokens for IS
cents.

Thirdly, the noncombatants are

strated.
The only trouble is that the
noncombatants desiring order are
apathetic and unwilling to fight
in the trenches and die for it.
Like all tempera.es. they arc
disinclined for extreme action.
Fourthly, the reds had $4GO, 900 ;.
900 in gold at the beginning of
the war, but this was offset by
the funds of Spaniards outside
the country.
Control Resources
The whites now possess so per
cent of the mineral wealth and
rs per cent of the agricultural
wealth Of Spain.
Furthermore, believe that
graft and inefficiency have de-
pleted the red finances. I Wis

Franco to Be Dictator
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
will be dictator of any immediate
white government because he has
the solid support of the insurgent
army. The army cadre is extreme
ly close, since they realize they
must hang together, or separately
and that they must string along
with Franco regardless.
Thus Franco has been pushed
into a position of power similar to
that of Premier Mussolini or Chan
cellor Hitler, without asking for it
I am sure he will demand only
order and an adequate army, being
a military man and not a poll
tician. believe SPANS ultimate
government will probably be
formed along the lines of II Duce's
Italian government or as consti
tutional monarchy, with the
church in a similar position as
the Church of England occupies in
that country.
Possibly. Prince Jaime, second
son Of former King Alfonso, may
be chosen as the figure head of a
constitutional monarch to ap
pease all factions.

to this evening and visitor who

Mrs. Daniel C. Lear's only en-

He didn't appear at Homeo-

In Saginaw, Michigan, Charles
A. "Chuck" Nash, jr., star men,
Der Of this years graduating class
whose commission as an ensign
was revoked this week because OF
the marriage, said:
There is no chance Of . rec
OnciliatiOn."
BRIDE TO FIGHT DIVORCE
In Baltimore, the young bride,
who revealed she had first been
married when she was only is,
threatened: -
eff Chuck tries to get q d.
vOrce or an annulment, I'll fight
it."
In New York Mrs. Marguerite
Woolard Barry, mother Of the
bride, came into the fray with:
'TIl do anything in the world
for my sOn-inlaw. l don't want
to see his career ruined by .
thOughtless girl. And / don't
want to see my daughter"
In Norfolk, Chauncey NJ. Wool.
ard, father of the bride, coun.
tered with:
II will stick with my little
girl"
Mrs. Nash yesterday revealed
that she had been married in
Georgia in 1885 to Oren Anderson,
college student, but that she
had never lived with him.
Tries to Aid Nash
She made this admission at the
office of the Secretary of the Navy
in the hope that this would in
validate her marriage to Nash and
win him back his commission. But
Navy officials pointed out that he
had perjured himself by signing
an oath he was not married, and
that as far as the Navy is con-
cerned he is through"
The brides father complicated
the picture today when he said
that this first marriage had been
annulled about two years ago be-
cause Of the age of the bride.
Mrs. Nash herself said she
didn't know just what the status
of that first marriage was. She
doesn't know where her first hus.
band is, and she doesn't care, she
said.
Raps MOther-in-Law
She is very bitter about Mrs.
Nash, ST., declaring that her
mother-in-law is responsible for
the whole tangle, but she isn't sure
whether she wants "Chuck" back
or not.
But out in Saginaw Chuck,
who is out looking for a job, was
very bitter, and was quoted in dis
patches as saying:
From the day of our mar
riage Miss WOOlard threatened
me with revelations Of our we'd
ding to naval authorities. In
the meantime she intimated that
our marriage was Illegal and
that she could have it annulleds
but wasn't going to do anything
about it."
Mrs. Nash revealed she Is pen
niless and will have to look for Q
job.

The battle waged all week over
q provision, written into the 1,500
million dollar bill, calling on local
communities to put up 40 per
cent of the cost of all nom Federal
relief projects. This was modified
finally, when Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas, Democratic floor leader,
sponsored an amendment slash
ing the mandatory local contribu-
ton to IS per cent in an effort
to heal the breach in Democratic
ranks.
Robinson Move Fails
The Robinson move failed, with
the Democrats as widely split as
ever. Supporting Robinson were
Senator Pittman CD of Nevada,
president pro tenn of the Senate,
and Senator Byrnes CD Of South
Carolina, close friend of President
Roosevelt.
The compromise, however. was
rejected by Senator Barley CD
of Kentucky, assistant Democratic
floor leader, Senator Lewis CD OF
Illinois, the Democratic whip. and
Senator Minton CD of Indiana,
assistant Democratic whip. 1t
marked the strangest split within
, the Democratic ranks since Mr..
Roosevelt was elected.
Both sides were claiming VIC
tory. The outcome, though, was
in doubt.
D. uoIIs TN RiIIc
Opponents of the new policy
charged it would reflect upon
President Roosevelt's handling Of
$4,000 millions of relief funds in
the past. They asserted, too.
needy citizens would be denied
relief, while municipalities strug-
gled through red tape, seeking
relief funds.
Sponsors claimed local contribu-
lions would reduce relief costs,
eliminate waste and remove un-
necessary prof ects from WPA
lists. They declared most cities
are in fine financial condition,
while the Government is bur
dened with the greatest national
debt in all history and operating
under huge deficits.
The relief row blocked Senate
action on the two unenacted de-
partmental appropriation bills, the
reenactment of So-called nuisance
taxes and debate on the Presi-
dents Supreme Court bill. With
relief out of the way, Administra-
ton leaders planned to call up
the other major items, appropria-
lions first, then taxes and finally
the court bill, this latter the week
of June 20.
Compromise Hinted
There were rumors the Admin
istration would compromise the
court fight during the next week
end when the President confers
with House and Senate Democrats
at Jefferson Island in chesapeake
Bay. Report had it AdminiStra-
ton leaders would urge the Presi-
dent to accept a compromise bill,
calling for outright appointment
of two new justices to the SUI
preme Court.
Opposition leaders, fighting the
original 15-justice court bill, an
nounced they could and would
block enactment of any compro-
mise measue. They were said to be
polling the Senate to determine
Just how many opposition votes
they can rally on any court ques-
ton.
Regardless of the outcome. both
sides appeared willing to launch

W|LFRED WALTER IS CONN 6 HERE
Teachers Assn Sponsors Appearance of Shakes
 pearean Interpreter

Wilfred Walter, well-known for his portrayal of Shakespearean roles, will appear in Waterbury November 10 as guest of the Water bury Teachers association, who will present the second in their educa- tional series of plays and lectures at Wilby high school auditorium. Tie sponsors scored with their pres- enta vion of Carl Sandburg who last week opened the series with a lec- 'ture on topics of vital importance, concluding with a discussion of poetry. The appearance of MT. Wal ter under these auspices should be 8 source of wide interest among the local teachers, high school students, and upper grade pupils of the gram mar schools, as well as the general public.
 Starting out in life as an artist of greas promise, he gained entrance to the theater, as 1t were, through the back door, after recognition had been given his dramatic ability.
 In London, Anna Pavlowa saw his decorations in @ movie theater and asked him to design costumes and scenery for one of her productions. As an actor, he first bowed to the London public hand in hand with Pavlowa, whose costumes and set- tings he had designed.
 During the war, MT. Walter was a captain in the Royal Garrison Arr tillery and was attached as a liaison officer to the French artillery. Among other honors, he was award- ed the Military Cross for meritorious service. When 1t was over, he re- turned to London, where, at the Old Vic, he painted scenery and acted in all the plays that were produced at that theater. Many Shakespearean roles were included in this roper toire, among them Othello, Marc An- tony, Falstaff, Henry VIII, Pistol, and Jacques.
 From the Old Vic, Wilfred Wal ter went to the Drury Lane thea ter and then joinedf the Stratford- On-Avon Festival company. He was with this company for five years, touring the United States and Can- ada twice during this period.
 His latest appearance in this country was in the fall of 1936, when he played the part of King Claudius in Leslie Towards production of Hamlet.
