Grand Jury Accuses
Alleged |nformer Of
Soliciting Bride
Another Also Indicted
As Numbers Case
Intermediary

The grand jury in District Court
today indicted James r. Fallin, al
legged informer, and Wallace Martin,
both colored, on charges of con-
splracy to commit an offense against
the United States. In a separate in
dictment Fallin alone was indicted
on charge of offering to receive a
bride as witness.
Fallin was arrested October 10 on
a charge of accepting a $50 bride to
alter his testimony in a numbers
case in which he was to testify in
District Court. He allegedly accept
ed the $50 in marked money from
Attorney J. Louis O'Connor, defense
counsel in the numbers case.
The alleged informer, who had
been testifying during the day in a
Police Court liquor case, which had
recessed, told Attorney O'Connor he
would have lapse of memory" for
a sum of money, the attorney told
officers of the vice squad.
Martin was the alleged inter-
mediary in the transaction between
Fallin and Mr.. OConnor.
Arrest of the two alleged informers
raised a "perplexing" problem for
the United States Attorneys ONCE
and the Police Department on
whether to continue depending on
underworld tipsters for evidence in
numbers and liquor cases. No deci-
sion has been announced.
Mr.. Pine suspended prosecution in
seven District Court cases and two
in the United States branch of
Police Court in which Fallin was to
testify.

Closing Of Otis Place
Protested by Citizens

The District of Columbia Commits
sioners today were in receipt of a
protest lodged by the Park View
Citizens Committee against a pro-
posal to close Otis place NV. in the
block west of Warder place for the
purpose of connecting the Park View
School with the playground across
the street.
In a communication sent to the
Commissioners, the committee point
ed out substitute methods of accom-
plishing the annexation. 1t was sug-
gested that an overpass be built over
Otis place at the desired place or
that Otis place be graded down to
allow the erection of a foot bridge
over the street.
1t was said the closing of Otis
place would necessitate the use OF
Sixth street for the double traffic
load. The communication stated an
objection to the use of Sixth street
because of its narrowness and its
frequent use by children for sleigh
riding lin the winter.
An increase in the distance to the
nearest public transportation facili-
ties on Georgia avenue was also cited
as undesirable.

Star Cup Presented
To Stimulate Civic
Work in County
Arlington Federation to
Judge Outstanding
Services Yearly

To stimulate continued civic activ-
ttv, a sterling silver loving cup was
presented to the Arlington County
(Vao Federation last night by The
Evening Star through its associate
editor. Newbold Moves.
The cup, to be known as The
Evening Star Trophy, j.. is to be
awarded annually to the delegate,
or committee, which is judged most
deserving of the honor. A similar
cup has been awarded to the Mont
gomery County CMd) Civic Fedora
ton since March, 1927, when the
late Oliver Owen Kuhn, The Stars
managing editor, presented the
trophy to the Maryland body.
Following last nights presenta-
ton by Mr.. Moves and Jesse c.
Suter, also of The Star, the fed
Grafton authorized immediate for
nation of committee of three to
determine the first recipient. The
personnel of the committee will be
named at the December meeting.
Cites Support of Civic Interest.
THE Evening Star has, from the
very inception of the citizens as
ISOLATION movement more than half
a century ago, fostered and en-
couraged them in every way pos
sible," Mr.. Moves said Everything
possible should be done to obtain
active interest in civic affairs if
communal interest advances, he
stated
He said The Star believes whole
heartedly in these declarations of
neighborhood groups; bodies cover
ing the entire jurisdiction of the
District of Columbia and adjacent
sections. Through them an oppor-
tunity is presented for crystalliza-
ton of the best civic thought Of
the community"
The District, with its deplorable
lack of suffrage, has great need for
the civic bodies, Mr. Moves declared.
1t has been found that such Or
CARNATIONS in nearby Virginia and
Maryland are of great value even
in voting and represented communi-
ties" he added.
Experience in Montgomery
County has shown the trophy award
is a satisfactory stimulus to bene-
fetal civic activities and he ex-
pressed the hope that the same
result will be shown in Arlington.
DR.. Victor Meyers, president, re-
ceived the cup on behalf of the
organization and assured MI. Noyes
it was gratefully received.

American negotiators, spurred by
Secretary Hull's appeal to put re
doubled vigor" into the reciprocal
trade program, expressed hope to-
day of having the British and Ca
madam pacts ready by Armistice
Day.
They expect, If the agreements
are completed, that fact would be
mentioned in the Armistice Day
speeches by Government leaders in
the United States. Britain and
Canada.
Secretary Hull, speaking in New
York at a world trade dinner last
night, declared that events of the
last few Weeks-meaning the four
power accord at Munich-would not
cause him to abandon his trade
agreements program. He laid down
three point platform for the pro-
gram:
/. No compromise with any of our
basic principles" Officials said
this meant the United States would
not give up her system of trade
merely to have trade accord with
Germany on the basis of barter or
artificial currencyD
2. No retreat to self-imposed
poverty of economic isolation"
8. No attempt to employ the de-
structive practices of forced trade"
This was taken to mean opposition
to such practices as export subsidies.
Secretary Hull declared economic
autarchy would fail in the long run
and, if combined with increasing
ornaments. would lead the world
toward the final catastrophe of a
new world war, the horror and de-
structivene5s of which pass human
imagination"
View on Munich Peace.
Observers interpreted this to ind
cate Secretary Hull's belief that t,.o
peace of Munich" did not bring
lasting appeasement to the worla.
In fact, the Secretary said. the
world is at a crossroads" between.
l. Increased reliance upon armed
force as an instrument of national
policy and
2. Ever increasing reliance upon
peaceful processes and upon the rule
of law and order"
Secretary Hull said he refused 10
believe the world is drifting ineyi-
tably toward policies under which
trade-and. therefore, economic wei-
fare-are being sacrificed to such
other detectives as vast ornaments
and the supremacy of force"
He spoke at world trade dinner
OF the 25th National Foreign Trace
Convention.
