new TRIAL SOUGHT
BY BISHOP CANNON
Lawyer Cites Ten Alleged
Errors in Directed
Verdict.

Bishop James Cannon. jr., wants a
new trial in his $500,000 libel suit
against Representative George H.
Tinkham, Republican. OF Massachu-
sets, because his attorneys believe
Justice Jennings Bailey erred yester-
day in directing a verdict in favor Of
Tinkham.
In a motion for a new trial, Robert
H. McNeill, attorney for the Southern
Methodist churchman, declared the
court erred in interpreting the
bishops testimony as indicating guilt
in connection with Tinkham's charges
that Cannon violated the corrupt
practices act in 1928.
The lawyer for the bishop listed 10
ways in which he contends Justice
Bailey erred in instructing the jury
in District Court to throw the suit out
of court.
Among these "errors," McNeill as
serted, was the courts ruling that
Bishop Cannon was guilty Of violation
of the corrupt practices act, because
that was a matter for the jury to de-
eide, and failure Of the court to con-
slider the important innuendo" by
Tinkham that the bishop embezzled
some of the $6S, 800 contributed to the
anti-Smith campaign by E. C. jane
son of New York Disposition Of this
money was a vital issue in the trial.
"The bishop kept his accounts In
good faith" McNeill stated. in re-
ferring to records of financial trans
actions following the Jameson dona-
ton.
Justice Bailey, in granting motion
BY Roger j. Whiteford, Tinkham's at
torney, for a directed verdict. told the
jury Bishop Cannon, by his own testi-
mony, had admitted he was guilty Of
violation Of the campaign expenditures
act.
McNeill said he would carry the case
to the Court of Appeals IL necessary.
He was out of the city today, pre-
sumably conferring with Bishop Can

ICKES WITHHOLDS
SKYLINE DRIVE FEE
Interior Secretary Intends to
Make Further Inquiry Be-
cause of Protests.

In view of widespread protests
against proposed automobile tolls for
use Of Skyline Drive in the Shenan-
doah National Park, Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes intends to withhold ap-
proval OF the schedule Of rates, 1t was
learned today, until he can make
further inquiries into the matter.
Senator Byrd and Representative
Robertson have joined a number OF
Virginia chambers of commerce and
other groups which are opposing the
initiation of automobile fees in the
park. A letter from A. H. Demaray.
acting director of the National Park
Service, informed the Winchester
Chamber Of Commerce that revised
regulations being considered include
provision to levy fees Of 81 per calendar
year and Of Is cent for single trip
on automobiles and house uailers
entering the park area.
The proposed plan, Demaray pointed
out, is the result Of suggestion by
the Budget Bureau to make national
parks more nearly Self-sustaining. 1t
was planned to initiate similar fees
in all national parks.
In Winchester, Wilbur c. Hall, State
conservation and development COM
missioner, declared former President
Hoover, under whose administration
the State contributed $l,000,000 to-
ward construction of the middle sec
ton Of Skyline D i've, expressly stated
that the park should be free to all
people. Virginia made the contribu-
ton, he said, with that understand
ing.
Senator Byrd, whose home is in
Berryville, close to the Sklline Drive,
said he was opposed to the plans Of the
Interior Department to levy fees on
motorists using the park. He said the
estimated revenue would be no more
than 100000 a year.
In defense of the proposal, the Ma
tional Park Service official said it does
not propose to charge admission to
the areas it administers, but only
for the privilege Of operating automo-
biles, house trailers and motor cycles
over the park roads which have been
constructed and maintained by the
Federal Government"
He pointed out that many Of the
States, including Virginia, have es-
tablished fees for admission to their
State parks.
