ARABS TO HALT
STRIFE IF JEWS
AR E CURTA|LED
immigration Must Cease
Says Emir Saud
BY KINSBURY SMITH
CCopyriRht, l9SS)

LONDON, Sept. 10 G.NSo.-A
warning that the Arabs will wage
relentless warfare against any
British plan which provides for
increased Jewish immigration into
Palestine was made today by
Emir Saud. the crown prince OF
Saudi Arabia.
In an exclusive interview. the
crown prince said, however, the
Arabs were prepared to call off
the present campaign of violent re-
sistance and permit the 100000
Jews now in Palestine to live in
peace providing an agreement was
reached prohibiting any further
increase in immigration.
ARABS STAND
In what may prove to be an
historic statement, the royal son
Of King 1bn saud, the famous
Arab chieftain who has been
called Lord of Arabia, asserted the
Arabs bear the Jews no racial ILL
will and have no desire or inten-
ton to persecute them on racial
grounds.
"The Arab people are resist.
ing any further expansion OF
the National Home for Jews
because Palestine is their Holy
Land and they cannot possibly
acquiescue to its being turned
into q Jewish country" his
royal highness said.
1.-THE Arabs of Palestine feel
that not only is their native
land being invaded, but at the
same time they are being driven
from their homes to make room
for somebody else.
NATURAL TO RESENT"
"It is only natural that they
should resent such state OF
affairs. It is only natural that
being a proud, independent race
of people, they should resist.
ut is not that the Arabs hate
the Jews. The Arabs have never
been guilty of pogroms against
the Jews nor have they ever
oopght tn nerSecute them on
racial grounds.
"The Arabs realize the prob
lem confronting the Jews. They
are even sympathetic towards
them. AS proof of this fact,
can tell you that the ARABS are
willing to cease the present cam
paien of resistance and let all
the Jews now in Palestine re-
main there in peace, providing
their number is not increased
DO NOT HATE JEWS
"That, everyone must admit.
Is a generous offer. 1t is proof
that the Arabs have no hatred
Of the Jews. But even if ones
brother tries to turn him out Of
his home, he could not do so
without endangering brotherly
feeling.
"If any more Jews are permit
ted to enter Palestine, the Arabs
realize the day will come when
the Jewish population will grow
80 large that it will be impossible
to prevent it spreading through
out Palestine.
THE Arabs have no wish to
suffer the fate of the American
Indian, who, with the coming Of
the white man, was pushed
further and further back until
now he is virtually extinct in his
own land"

.S1,6OO IN RACE
TICKETS STOLEN

What does 1t profit a man if he
pick the right horse only to have
holdup men get the tickets be-
fore he can cash in?
Harry Woodland, Of 1920 Six
teenth st. N. W., had this to think
about today after he was held up
and robbed by two young thugs
on H Street, between Vermont
Avenue and Sixteenth Street
Northwest, last night.
The thugs took Woodard's bill
fold containing $500 in cash and
the race tickets which he could
have redeemed today for $1,000.
woodward told police that he
was accosted by the thugs who
alighted from q car and beat him
almost into insensibility. He OBJ
tanned the number of the car, but
the license plates were dead"
Police instructed the Maryland
race track authorities to be on the
lookout for the betting tickets
today.

STRAUS SCORES.
SLUM DISTRICTS.
IN ALEXANDRIA.
Proposed D. C. Project.
Seen as Model
BY EARL GOODWIN

The two low-cost housing prof.
ectS that would do the best work
in showing the world what the
United States Housing program
really can do are washington s
fifteen-million dollar program m,
which will possibly take form in
about three weeks-and the nebu-
lous possibility Of a large housing
project in Alexandria, Va.
Housing officials have let 1t be
known that they expect to see the
Washington project become a
model for the country, and they
have included Alexandria project
in their hopes.
This was learned yesterday
when Nathan Straus, Housing ad-
miniStrator, visited AleXandria, In
s-ected some of the neighborho oodS
where better housing is needed,
and made an address to the
Woman's Club Of Alexandria.
HITS SLUM CONDITIONS
In the course Of the speech, Mr..
etraus severely scored the Slum
conditions Of Alexandria as he had
seen them: He said:
at Is not my intention to say
that Alexandria has the worst
slums, but the fact remains
that I have not found any
worse conditions in this coun-
try, have seen neighborhoods
where there is no water facility,
no sewage disposal facilities,
dirty. vermin-infeSted houses,
with filth and garbage inside
and out. It is a surprise to me
that such q condition exists In
a city as beautiful as this is,
and in close proximity to so
many beautiful and historic
homes"
Straus' visit in Alexandria was
In company with Alexandra s
mayor, Richard L. Ruffner; City
Manager Carl Budwesky, Mau'
rice Rosenberg, member Of tn e
Virginia house Of delegates; Henry
Schauffler and Tyrell Krum,
members Of the USHA staff.
At one section, the city man
ager found that the only water
supply in the neighborhood was
q contaminated well that the au
thorities had closed by ordinance
but which the residents Of the
neighborhood had opened by main
force and were using it daily.
D. C. PROGRAM PRAISED
In his talk to the woman's club
Administrator Straus called at
tention to the program for Wash
ington, and gave praise to John
Ihlder, executive secretary OF the
Alley Dwelling Authority. Straus
said:
'"The washington program is
an admirable one which will go
O long way toward re-housing
people of low income now living
in Sub-standard conditions. The
Washington program will be the
result of considerable study and
I expect it will be ready for our
OK. and the Presidents ap-
proVal in two or three weeks"

FAIRFAX POSSE
HUNTING CRAzED|
MAN IN WOODS|
New York Fugitive Has
Murder on His Mind

A mild little bookkeeper with
murder on his mind was the op-
ject Of a manhunt in Fairfax
county today.
Somewhere In the tangled woods
south Of Alexandria, Despectacled
Edgar Cotton, 51-year-old New
Yorker, was in hiding as q posse
of 200 citizens and police ended
an all-night search for him.
THREATENED FAMILY
Bloodhounds brought from Lor-
ton ReforTnatory coursed over
miles of undergrowth on the scent
of the man who has several times
threatened the lives Of members
of his family, and has twice at
tempted to commit murder.
At dawn the trail grew cold ana
the wanderer was still at large.
Cotton has been the object OF
an intense hunt by New York
postal authorities since October 13,
Last Sunday he appeared IN
Alexandria, stalking into the
kitchen of a residence near the
Penn Daw Hotel and snatching a
quantity Of food. Since then,
people along the washington.
Richmond Highway have reported
seeing Cotton peering into their
bedroom windows.
HEAVY SPECTACLES
On each occasion, the wild-eyed
man vanished into the woods be
fore police arrived.
Cotton is only 5 feet 6 inches
tall, and weighs about 145 pounds.
His chief mark of distinction is
his heavy spectacles.
What Sheriff Eppa Kirby, Of
Fairfax county, fears is that Cot.
ton will somewhere secure q gun
and carry out his threats Of mur-
der.
Summoned to Alexandria last
night by q number Of complaints
that "a wild man" was ringing
doorbells and muttering threats Of
death, Kirby ordered bloodhounds
from Lorton reformatory and has.
tily organized the manhunt.
Persons who have seen Cotton
say "he walks with his fists
clenched and his arms swinging
as if he were fighting someone. 81
The lookout broadcast by the
New York postal authorities said:
"He is apparently possessed
of a homicidal mania toward
members of his immediate
family and on two occasions
has attempted to commit
murder. He frequents public
libraries. Y. M. c. AS and
cheap hotels"

Counsel Makes Announcement in
Case Charging Louis
Tapponnier.

The District Court first-degree MUIR
der trial Of Louis j. Tapponniep, 2S-
year-old waiter, went into its second
day this morning, following an an
nouncement late yesterday by Attorney

~, in self-defense last October IL.
Harris was slain about $3.50 am. in

Tapponnier and the deceased took
part. Harris brother, James F. Har-
ris, %, was struck in the hip by a
bullet which, police say, came from

OF the shooting, Edward Hoffman, who
now lives in Miami, Fla, was the prin-
cipal witness yesterday afternoon.

Tapponnier with blow of his fist in
the Ninth street cafe about an hour
and a half before the shooting.

COURT RECESSES
COAL BOARD SUIT
Case Held Up Until Agency
Holds .Hearing-Judge Hits
at Body's Tactics.

A hearing begun yesterday before a
three-judge statutory court on the
injunction suit of the Indiana Gas g.
Chemical Co. of Terre Haute, to invali-
date price-fixing order of the Btu
minous Coal Commission was in recess
today following pointed criticism from
the bench of the commissions price
fixing procedure
Upon learning from Government
Counsel John j. Abt that the COM
mission has called hearing February
for the airing of complaints of dis
satisfied consumers, the court ad-
journed the proceeding before it until
after the hearing date.
Evidence produced yesterday showed
that the commission promulgated
prices for the Terre Haute market area
without giving interested parties an
opportunity to be heard
Groner Criticizes Board.
After hearing this testimony, Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner of the
United States Court of Appeals gave
the "offhand opinion" that ''the use
OF confidential information in a secret
meeting without interested parties
having a chance to be heard is not
provided for by any law 1 ever heard
OF and apparently contradicts our
theory of government"
He suggested that the situation NAV
be such that the commission might
well start all over again in its price
fixing work"
The orders complained of were is
sued December 2 and were effective
December Is.
Discrimination Alleged.
Alfred M. Ogle, president of the
Indiana Gas & Chemical Co., which
produces mostly coke and gas, testi-
ned the prices set discriminate against
Terre Haute and also against the en-
tire coal by-products industry.
John Carson, consumers counsel for
the commission, testified he had made
numerous unsuccessful attempts to
induce the commission to hold public
hearings and to disclose the basic data
Tor its price determinations.
Besides Chief Justice Groner the
court was composed of Justice Peyton
Gordon and Oscar r. Luhring of the
District Court.
