Congress Declared Eager
To Assist Business.
Declaring he believed the present
depression to be minor one, Charles
o. Gridley, president of the National
Press Club, speaking at the Woman's
National Democratic Club yesterday,
said that Congress was eager to assist
business and that no threatening legis-
lation was in prospect at the present
time.
Even the drive against monopoly Is
not dangerous" he said. Big busi-
ness has the brains to meet such crises
adequately. Most of the better con-
Germs have already placed their labor
relations on an equitable basis without
the coercion Of the Government"
He predicted an eventual Federal
incorporation Of business and said it
was a sad state of affairs when the
mass of voters and the business men
were on opposite sides of the fence.
He urged greater corporation between
business and Government.
Mr.. Gridley was introduced by Ellis
Meredith in the absence of the presi-
dent, Mrs. w. w. Hubbard.

president of the General Federation

naturally assume that ali Americans
have a voice in their Government.
Even clubwomen are little surprised
to learn of the plight of the District.
The matter is being brought to the
attention of the women Of the general
federation, through the study begun
some years ago. So far as know
there is little or no opposition to the
Endorsement of the proposed measure. "
Mrs. Dunbar told Of hearing the
matter presented two years ago, at q
board meeting. I'VE were shocked to
find that a man of such dignity and
learning as the speaker was unable to
vote. If an Endorsement had been
possible at that time. am sure it
would have been unanimous" she
said. It seems unlikely that the ques-
ton of indorsing the suffrage resolu-
ton for the District will come up at
this meeting, she explained as such
measures must come before the gen.
eral convention.
Mrs. Dunbar is the unopposed can
didate for president of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, for
the next three years. The election
will be held in May when the fedora
ton convenes in Kansas City. She Is
in the city to attend the preliminary
meetings and the regular meetings
of the Board of the General Fedora
ton this week.
Having been connected with the
Oregon tuberculosis Association from
the time of its foundation in 1915 to
the present and with other social
service associations, Mrs. Dunbar is
much interested in public health and
public welfare She believes that the
clubs in small communities are max

In speaking of the Maehrisch- -Ostrau
disturbance, the general asked "how
much longer is this to 60 on?" He
continued, as one closely in the know
OF things, with a criticism of British
diplomacy thus far.
After Viscount Runciman (Britain's

forward clearly and explicitly and said

office denial that the editorial had
official sanction or that it reflected
the views of the British government.
Nevertheless the editorial-although
the Times had suggested the same
thing several times before-was be-
lieved in some quarters to have led to
the break in the negotiations.
A clash at Maehrisch- Ostrau,
Czechoslovakia, in which Germans
said Czech mounted policeman struck
Sudeten German legislator on the
shoulders with a riding crop, was
generally thought here to be simply
a convenient coincident.
Some observers believed, however,
that Chancellor Adolf Hitler might be
encouraged to demand a plebiscite
among the Sudetens in Czechoslova-
kia to determine their stand on Sc

The British press today criticized
the Times for its remarks.

Such encouragement to intransi-

barrass the Czech government and
make infinitely more difficult the task

DOCTOR ON STAND :
IN BROOKE TRIAL
Tells Of Finding Pair Of
Glasses on Stairway
Above Body.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tAC AcnOSiAtCU 1lcSSs
COLUMBUS, Ga. Sept. s.-An
Army pathologist testified today in the
trial Of Maj. John r. Brooke, Fort
Benning Army officer. that he found
. pair Of amber glasses about half way
up the stairway from where the body
Of the majors wife, Elizabeth, was
found lying in pool Of blood at the
foot.
Maj. Brooke is charged with killing
his wife at their Fort Benning home
last June g.
1t. Col. Martin r. Reiber, 4th Corps
Area laboratory director and assistant
surgeon at Fort Benning, a Govern
ment witness, told of the discovery.
Maj. Brooke shifted back and forth
IN his chair as he listened to q dis
passionate description Of the body.
Col. Reiber gave a technical de-
scription of the wounds on the wom-
ans head. She was lying on her back
With the slipper Of her right foot
dangling by strap from the ankle
the colonel said.
Photographs taken in the Brooke
home and in a hospital morgue were
introduced. They showed a large
crushed section on the right side
Of the head. three deep wounds on the
left side and another wound that
dashed in the back of her head. Col,
Reiber said they could not have been
caused by q fall. '
He said blood stains on the wom-
ans arms were streaked and looked
as If some one had wiped hands across
them.
Testomony yesterday placed Mai.
Brooke at home shortly before the
body of Mrs. Brooke was found.
United States District Attorney T..
Hoyt Davis told the jury at the trial
the Government would show Mai.
Brooke was an "habitual gambler" and
held insurance policies totaling $4,000
on his wife's life.
Defense counsel conceded the ma ior
liked to try his luck with the GAL
loping dominos at times" but chal-
lenged the Governments case at all
points. The Army instructor denies
knowledge Of the Staying and con-
tends he was at distant point on the
reservation at the time.
Mrs. Samuel A. Gibson, wife of a
lieutenant colonel. testified yesterday
she saw Maj. Brooke drive away
hurriedly' from his home half an hour
before the body Of Mrs Brooke was
found. Mrs. Gibson, now a resident
OF Albany, N. Y, lived at that time
next door to the Brooke home on the
Fort Benning Reservation.

Mr.. Stryker asserted that "in Or
der to warrant a conviction as to De-
fendant Hines the people are obligated
to show that Hines contrived, pro-
posed or drew lottery, or assisted
therein"
Mr.. Stryker quoted from Justice Pc
cora's own definition of a "contriver'
and 'proposer" as follows:
1T embraces the work of the master
minds who make up the scheme and
set 1t on foot and supervise its
execution. To use an analogy from
the language Of sport, the captains,
the managers and financial hackers
or promoters of the scheme are the
persons intended to be covered by
the definition. not the players on the
team, the persons on the sidelines or

"a rule of exclusion, SO far as Hines
is concerned"

LOS ANGELES, Sept. S.-Bitter
dissension among Aim craftsmen
hared today in q complaint to the
National Labor Relations Board that
payment Of 100000 to a union
oficial put $4,000 union workers un-
der direct control" Of the Associa-
ton Of Motion Picture Producers, Inc.
Rt Casey, labor mediator Of the
producers organization, Immediately
branded the complaint as ridiculous"
and said:
If these unions were company
unions, do they think they could have
gotten from Is to IS per cent increases
in pay during the past three or four
years?"
The complaint was filed with DR..
Towne Nylander, regional N. L. r. b.
director, by jeff Kibre, a studio
craftsman who said he was acting for
and on behalf of the Motion Picture
Technicians' Committee"
Mr.. Kibre alleged that William Bioff,
formerly personal representative In
Hollywood Of George E. Browne, in
ternational president Of the Interna-
tional Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees, accepted 100000 from
Joseph M. Schenck, president Of the
Producers Association, to "sell out"
I. A. T. s. E. control.
Since January 2, 1896, Bioff has
been the paid agent for the producers
while purporting to act for President
Browne the complaint said. Bioff
recently resigned his I. A. T. S. e. post.
Thousands of workers have been
paying tribute to this racket for more
than two years." Mr.. Kibre asserted,
only to see their working conditions
become steadily worse. For many
months, 10000 studio workers have
paid to Bioff and Browne per cent
of their wages in addition to So per
month In dues. For this tribute they
have received exactly nothing.
The average annual wage of the
studio crafts. compared with a high of
S2,400 in 1929 is now less than 81 400"
Mr.. Kibre alleged the I. A. T. S. E.
grew from lis members to $4,000 be-
cause producers ordered employment
restricted to those in its ranks.
The complainant declared that pro-
ducers simulated process of collective
bargaining to satisfy legal require
mAnts of the Wagner Act, but because
they were dealing with their own
paid agent" they were, in effect, re-
fuSing to bargain with their emploves
Ridiculous" Says Schenck.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8 (R.-Joseph M.
Schenck, president of the Association
of Motion Picture Producers, Inc, de-
nounced as ridiculous" today a charge
he paid union official 100000 to
sell out" $4,000 workers.
A complaint was filed with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board at Los
Angeles alleging that Mr.. Schenck
paid the sum to a representative Of
the International Alliance of The
atrical Stage Employees. The transac-
ton, the complaint charged, was in
tended to give the Producers Asso-
citation control Of the workers.
This is the first I've heard about
it." Mr.. schenck said, but it looks
like factional fight of the unions.
"The charge that I paid anyone
sl00,0 900 on a union deal is a ridicu-
lous statement. never gave anyone
bribe Of any kind. AS far as
100000 payment from me to buy
of anyone is concerned, the thing is
ridiculous. One hundred thousand
dollars Is lot of morey."
