AUDIT REVEALS
NEW SHORTAGE
IN MONTGOMERY
Recall of Grand Jury Is
Expected in County

ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. 81.
Discovery of a new shortage in the
accounts of Montgomery county
officials probably will result in a
return of the county grand jury in
special session next Monday, it
was said here today.
Following a several hour confer
ence with County Commissioner
Frank H. Kern, president OF the
board of commissioners, and q
member of the Baltimore audit
ing firm of Wooden and Benson
here yesterday, States Attorney
James H. Pugh said that the
shortage would far exceed any
found to date in the probe into
county finances.
Although reluctant to discuss the
matter, Pugh said the most recent
discovery is in a department that
SO far has had a clean slate.
AUDIT "ONLY BEGUN"
When asked if the audit would
continue as he desired, or close as
intimated by the commissioners
last week, Pugh said:
LAS far as 1 am concerned
this audit has only begun. in
te1.d to continue it if possible
until all accounts Of persons
handling county funds have
been checked.
This practice of miSuSing
county funds has been going on
in Montgomery county for a
lorg time, and I feel that it IS
my duty as States Attorney to
stop it, if possible, and that is
what I intend to do,
while this present audit may
&C on indefinitely I want to
have the present grand jury re-
turn, if possible, within a few
days so that I can present to it
the facts found to date"
JURY is AVAILABLE
The present grand Jury is on
call until the second Monday in
November, when a new one will
be paneled. Therefore Pugh has
until November 8 to ask for its
return, he said
This jury, which was paneled
last March, returned last month
embezzlement indictments against
two county employees and two for
mer county employees.
They are E. j. Gray, former
county building inspector; Peyton

THAT TWO-THTRDs RULE


IN 1882 a Democratic President
Il decided to have his party's con-
vention (the first it had ever heidi
renominate him and along with
that decision he directed that the
nomination of his running mate
should be made by vote of two
thirds of the convention delegates.
One hundred and four years lat
er a Democratic President decid-
ed to have his party'S convention
renominate him and along with
that action he brought about the
abolition of the century-old "two-
thirds rule"
The man who originated that dis
tinctively Democratic institution
was Andrew Jackson. The man
who ended its existence was Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
Jackson had selected his secre-
tary of state, Martin Van Buren,,
for the position of vice-president.
The senate had only recently re-
jected Van Buren's appointment
as minister to Great Britain and
''O,d Hickory" thought it would
square accounts with that body to
have the RED Fox preside over
it. Also vice-presidents in those
days usually succeeded to the
Presidency through 1egular cleo
ton and Jackson wanted Van Buren,
to be his successor.
So when his party prepared to
hold its first convention in Balti-
more in 1882, Jackson wrote out
this resolution which he gave to
one of his lieutenants to present to
the delegates:
Resolved, That each State shall
be entitled, in the nomination of a
candidate for the Vice-Presidency,
to a number of votes equal to the
number to which they will be en-
titled in the Electoral College I'M
der the new apportionment in vot-
ing for President and Vice-Presi-
dent; and that two-thirds Of the
whole number of the votes in the
convention shall be necessary to
constitute a choice"
The Baltimore convention was
as completely dominated by Jack.

meeting was controlled by Roose.
welt so the delegates obedient1y
adopted the resolution. During
Jackson's lifetime several efforts
were made to abolish the rule but
all Of them failed. After his death
it became all but sacred and for
the next hundred years the shadow
of Andrew jackson, in the form Of
this rule, hung over every Demo-
cratic convention.

3 LOST A|RMEN,
GIVEN UP,FOUND

MANILA, Dec. 10 U.N.SJ.
After all hope had virtually been
abandoned for them, two Philip
pine Army chifetains and their
American pilot were safe here to-
day. They recalled a narrowing
tale of being grounded four days
on tiny island off the Luzon
Coat during typhoon.
The officers were Maj. Gen.
Pauline Santos, chief of staff, and
Col. Fidel Segundo. The pilot
was Lieut.. William Lee, a United
States Army flying instructor at
tached to the Philippine Army air
corps.
The plane in which the trio was
flying was returning to Manila
from Cebu, Monday, when Lieu
tenant Lee was forced down on the
tiny island of Bugitay as the
