CLEVELAND. Dec. 19.-Henry
Ford, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, and
other Americans who accept medals
from dictators had challenge today
from Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes to explain why
their American birthright is not
forfeit.
Mr.. Ickes, speaking last night at
the annual Hanukkah banquet of
the Cleveland Zionist Society, asked,
"how can any American, who calls
himself Christian, or who pre-
tends to believe in the enlightened
principles that constitute the warp
and woof of our American life,
accept decoration at the hand of a
brutal dictator who, with that same
hand, is robbing and torturing thou
sands of fellow human beings?
Perhaps Henry Ford and Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh will be willing
to answer the question Nor are
these the only free citizens of a
free country who obsequiously have
accepted tokens of contemptuous
distinction at a time when the be-
slower of them counts that day lost
when he can commit no new crime
against humanity"

lckes Rops Citizens Who Take
Medals From Dictotors
Challenges Ford and Lndbereh to Explain
Why B;rth7ght Is Not Forfeit

Mr.. Ford, in an authorized state
ment last November 30, said: my
acceptance Of a medal from the
German people does not, as some
people seem to think, involve any
sympathy on my part with Naziism.
Those who have known me for many
years will realize that anything that
breeds hate is repulsive to me-"
Mr.. Ickes took a passing slap at
"the cunning and spiteful intoler-
ance of the chairman Of a congress
sional investigating committee, who
by some mischance, finds himself
clothed with a little brief authority,
in the wanton exercise of which he
violates every rule of decency and
fair play"
Ickes said he wished America
might be thrown open to political
refugees, but I'VE must faithfully
carry out the laws of Congress linn
iting immigration. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the hapless and
harrassed Jews should turn in hope
to their ancient land of Palestine,
and perhaps by our moral and ma
terial support we can help to make
it possible for them to return to the
land of their fathers"

T.V. A. Probers 10 Ask
Extension Of Time
To Finish Inquiry
Donohey Soys Committee
Won't Be Able to Get Job
Done by January ;
Hy the Associated Press.

~ tdo Associated PreSS.
Chairman Donahey said today the
congressional committee Investigate
ing the Tennessee Valley Authority
would ask for an extension of time
in which to complete its inquiry.
He said it was obvious the COM
mittee would be unable to complete
its work and report by January 3,
convening date of the incoming
Congress. The committee has voted
to adjourn on December 81 subject
to call of the chairman.
The last Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the investigation, to be
conducted by five Senators and five
House members. Senator Donahey
indicated the extension resolution
would carry request for additional
funds. A committee employe said
today the present fund was eX-
hausted.
The committee received today a
detailed explanation of T. V. AS
financial statement of the year end
ing June 80, 1888. The statement,
submitted last week, was explained
by T. V. A. Controller E. l.. Kohler.
1t showed a loss for the year of
s3l0,171 on power operations.
Congress listed more than
score of issues in the resolution
authorizing the broad investiga-
ton Of T. V. A. These included the
quarrel among the three directors
that led to President Roosevelt's
removal of Chairman A. E. Morgan;
the relations of the agency with
the utility industry; numerous
charges made against T. V. A. by
its critics, and cost and similar
data figuring in determination of
II. v. A. power rates.
Representative Wolverton, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey. said the Gen.
eral Accounting Office had COM
pleted an audit of T. V. A. accounts
only through 1884 and that the
committee must have data for all
subsequent years before it could
answer many questions asked by
Congress.
Chairman Donahey told Repub-
lican members at recent hearing
ne was willing to sit until next
June, if necessary, to get all the
facts you want"

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 19.-A new stream
lined, projectile- like locomotive, ca
pable of pulling IS standard sleeping
cars 125 miles an hour, was unveiled
here today.
The giant of the rails represented
the completion of two years work
by General Electric Co. engineers
in collaboration with the Union Pa
cific Railroad.
Eighty General Electric officials,
headed by Owen D. Young, chair
man of the board, and Gerard
SWope, president, were to swing
aboard for brief rides on the test
track at the company's plant 4 miles
east of Erie.
The locomotive, carrying it's own
steam turbine plant, packs the
punch of 5000 horsepower. 1t is
tuned to do twice the work of a
conventional locomotive for each
pound of fuel and to make three
times the mileage without stops for
either fuel or water.
Steam Refed Into Boiler.
Unlike the conventional locomo-
tive, the steam from the boiler does
not escape through a smokestack
after driving the turbine. 1t is con-
densed back into water and re-
fed into the boiler.
The boiler steam generates elec-
tricity in much the same manner
as in public utility plant instead
of being converted into mechanical
power through pistons attached to
the driving wheels. This electricity
is used to turn the powerful motors
geared to the wheels
Electricity is also employed ef-
fectively in braking Coasting into
station or down grade, the six
big driving motors act as genera
tors and gradually convert the
mechanical energy from the mo-
mentum of the train into elec-
tricity.
Trial Runs Planned.
The locomotive is housed in two
cabs. each unit weighing approxi-
mately 265 tons and 80 feet in
length.

Hays Keeps Hands Off
Warner Brothers, Rift
With Germany
Firm Warned Against
Filming Confessions
Of q Nozi Spy
By the Associated Press,

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 19.-The HAYS
Office, supreme arbiter Of the Amer.
lcan film industry, kept aloof today
from a growing rift between the
German government and Warner
Bros studio over production of a
picture, confessions of Nazi Spy"
DR.. George Gyssling, Los Angeles
German consul, said he had advised
the Hays office there may be
trouble ahead" if the picture is made.
Germany, he said, may bar all fu-
ture movies from any studio exhib-
iting one which conflicts with Ger
man interests"
A representative of the Motion
Picture Producers Association-of-
flclal name of the Hays office-said
the consul's letter had been acknoWl-
edged without comment and trans
mitted to Warner executives.
The picture is based on records
OF the trial and conviction of three
persons in New York recently on
charges of Nazi espionage. A writer
was assigned to prepare the scenario,
but filming has not yet started.
1t would be unusual for studio
to produce picture in the face of
foreign governments protest, Hol-
lyWood observers say. The govern
ment not only could close its own
market to the studio, but could in
f1uence others with whom it is allied.
Warner Bros, however, already
have withdrawn from Germany and
similar withdrawal was projected
from Italy. If the Hays Office or
the United States State Department
does not intervene, informed sources
disclosed, shooting on the spy story
is scheduled to begin next month.
