Metropolis were embarrassed" by
the unexpected doWnpour of U. S.
money.
Commenting sharply on the re-
ported attitude of New York city's
administration. PWA Administra-
tor Harold L. Ickes said:
IF New York doesn't want
the money for one purpose. it
will want it for another; and If
1t doesn't want the money at all,
some other town will"
DON'T HAVE TO TAKE 1T
The fiery New Dealer said New

cation to accept the money and
suggested Gotham officials clarity
thsir position Immediately.
The PWA allotments we're made
from a list of projects which had
been approved, but which had been
left dormant in PWA files by lack
of funds. Now, however, with the
new pumpprimary money, the
PWA has been making allotments
from the list in order to get the
new program started speedily.
MAYOR DIDN'T REPLY
I'VE did all that was expected
OF us to find out if the city was
still interested in its projects.
We queried the mayor GaGuar-

added.
Two further efforts we're made
to determine the city's plans
through Mayor Laguardia also re-
suited in no answer, Ickes said,
adding that I'VE then assumed
New York wanted its projects"
Lckes then went on to say that
"No harm has been done"

ministrator said:

U. S. REvISES
SECRET CODES
TO BALK SPIES
Steps Taken to Guard
Defense System
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
(Copyright. 1898. by International
News Service.)

The American Government has
instituted drastic precautions to
safeguard national defense secrets
from potential foreign enemies.
These stopgaps include, it was
learned today, revision of diplo-
matte, Army and Navy confiden-
tial codes.
Ar elaborate system of guarding
Americas vital defense secrets has
become necessary in the light of
the intenSification of foreign
Espionage activities, sensationally
brought to light with the recent in
dictment by the New York Fed
eral grand jury of 18 alleged Nazi
spies, including four high officials
of the German war ministry.
CODE BOOK STOLEN
One of the Army Air Corps
secret signal code books, which
outlined aerial warfare communi-
cation procedure, was filched and
presumably turned over to the
Nazi government by one of the in
dicted secret agents.
A thorough revision of the codes
used for highly confidential dis.
patches in the diplomatic corps
as well as the Army and Navy,
has become advisable because of
the widespread spy endeavorS.
Officially the War, Navy and
State Departments declined to
comment on the status of their
confidential code books as these
matters necessarily are surrounded
by the utmost secrecy.
So far as the departments
which deal with national defense
know, the spy rings have not been
able to get to their confidential
codes, although it is established
they have obtained the more ele-
mental ones.
USED IN TRAINING
The latter are used to shorten
lengthy dispatches not of secret
nature to conserve sending time
and cable costs. The code pro
cedure stolen from Mitchell Field,
N. Y, one of the Army's chief
air bases, was of this nature and
used chiefly for the training of
personnel in the coding and de-
coding of dispatches.
Only the highest and most
trusted officers henceforth will be
permitted to handle the more
secret codes used in the transmits
sion of defense secrets.
In addition an elaborate system
has been set up to safeguard the
secrets of army, navy and air
corps weapons when they are
being manufactured.
Only persons who can be trusted
and whose characters and connec-
tionS have been checked, will be
employed on the manufacture OF
new and confidential airplaneS,
anti-aircraft devices, tanks and
warships. All such developments
are being kept under strict guard
during their construction.

and saw the flashes of the guns.
He said his sister-in-law turned
and drove back to the scene of
the shooting. and he got out of
the car, and recognized Herbert
Knox, one of the policemen, now
under indictment for the same
murder, whom he knew. He said
he asked Knox:
Whats the idea of driving
that way, with no lights and
running us off the road?"
Strenuous objections by the de-
fense we're sustained by the court
and Poole was not allowed to give
KnoxS answer.
"HAD TO SHOOT ONE"
John E. Conway, Arlington
county policeman, testified that he
was on duty at Arlington Court
house Jail when a call came in re-
garding the shooting. He said he
and other police drove up and
found Knox and Scheid standing
in the road, and that Knox told
him:
I'VE just had to shoot one"
Conway said he walked over to
the car in which Daugherty was
slumped over the wheel with a
bullet wound in the back of his
head. He then heard the ambu,
lance sirens, and that he went
with the ambulance to Georgetown
Hospital.
BOTH AT JAIL
The police testified that when
he got back to Arlington Jail
Knox and Scheid were there, and
Knox told him they had started
chasing Daugherty at Falls Church
and overraken and stopped him
and that when Daugherty at
tempted to run them down they
started shooting.

Did they say why they
wanted to arrest Daugherty?"

ing"
Did they tell you he was in

NO, sir they did not"
Andrew P. Langley, who has
been on the Arlington county
police force for 26 years, testified
that Scheid asked for a drink Of
cold water after he had been
brought to the Jail, and that he
walked to the court house with
Scheid to get the water. He said
Scheid asked him, while they
were walking to the court house:
DO you expect they will send
me to the electric chair?"
To which Langley testified he
replied:
Don't take 1t so serious. You
never can tell how these things
will come out
BUT 1 SHOT HIM"
The Arlington policeman testi
fled that Scheid said to him:
"Yes-but I shot HIM"
Later, Langley said Scheid re
