PRESIDENT DUE
TO ASK MORGAN
RESIGNATION
IVA Row Moves
To Climax
BY GEORGE DURNo

r.N.s.) Predictions were freely
made today that President Roose-
velt would publicly demand the
resignation of Chairman Arthur
E. Morgan as the bitter Tennessee
Valley Authority row moved to a
dramatic slimax.
This afternoon, at. a third White
House hearing, Mr.. Roosevelt in
tended to ask Chairman Morgan
for a final "yes" or mo" answer
to thus far evaded requests for
proof of dishonesty, malfeasauce
and misconduct" charges levelsd
by the embattled chairman at his
associate iva directors, David
Lilientha1 and Harcourt A. Nor.
gan.
Nine and a half hours Of per
sistent questioning by the Presi-
dent to date have failed to sway
Chairman Morgan in his deter
mination not to testify at a White
House inquiry. There was no in
dication he would reverse his at
titude at 1:3O p. m. today when
the Chief Executive again holds
magistrates court.
Already. A q. Morgar's per-
siStent Tefasaf 70 resp0d to duess
tions has caused President Roose-
welt to charge him with 'contum-
acy, sabotage and obstruction" Of
the New Deals original public
power project.
"CONTUMACY'' CHARGE
Belief that the President would
call upon the chairman to resign
was based primarily on the "con-
tumacy" eharge--the dictionary
definition of that word being "con-
temptuous disregard of the re-
quirements Of rightful authority;
insolent and stubborn perverse-
ness: incorrigible obstinacy."
Whether Chairman Morgan. If
he still denies the Presidents right
to question him today, will &C
quiesce to a request for his retire
ment was something else again.
The chairman wants a congres-
sional investigation and he knew
that the Senate was prepared to
set one in motion this afternoon
as soon as the White House hear
ing was over.
If the demand is made and
Chairman Morgan should refuse,
Mr.. Roosevelt still would have the
alternative of arbitrarily remov.
ing him from office, basing his
action on "cause." Administration
legal authorities say the President
can do this. although the Supreme
Court has twice ruled against
White House efforts to displace
Executive appointees.
SET TO BLOCK PROBE
Administration leaders in Con.
gress were set to block all moves
for a legislative investigation of
A. E. Morgan's charges against
his colleagues until after the 1880
hearing.

By GEORGE M. GREEN

BY GEOHGE M. GHEEN
Mayor L. P. Daniel, Of Falls
Church, today suspended two Fair.
fax county policemen FROM the
force in connection with the fatal
shooting Of Theodore B. Daugh-
erty, washington musician.
Daugherty was slain early
yesterday, when, according to
Policemen Edwin scheid, Is, and
Herbert Knox, "a, he tried to run
them down after a wild five-mile
chase in Fairfax and Arlington
counties.
CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD
Conflicting stories were told by
eye-witnesses, and, pending further
investigation, hearing on the
death Of the musician was post
poned today by Judge B. M.
Hedrick in Arlington county court
until Thursday.
Scheid and H. Knox were re-
leased in bonds Of $2,500 each.
No formal charges have been
placed against them, according TO

held merely 'for Investigation. "
WITNESSES LOCATED
While search was being con-
Quoted through Virginia and the
District of Columbia for two young
men and blonde woman who are
believed to have witnessed the
shooting, William C, Cloth, repre-
senting Daugherty's widow, de-
clared that he had located a
woman and a man witness to the
Staying.
Cloth declined to reveal their
names.
The story Of another eyewitness,
that the two policemen were stand

he released the clutch was beink
checked.
This witness, whose identity was
also concealed, would refute the
claim by the officers that they
shot in self-defense.
SIX SHOTS FIRED
Five shots were fired from
scheid's revolver and one from
Knox's, but whose bullet it was

BLAME FOR DEATH GAIN
Over 1000 Hunters Are Killed in Course of Year
 Cleaning Weapons

Carelessness with firearms kills ct least 1000 American hunters every year, according to the statlssiciana of the Metropolitan Life 1nsuranca co. Hundreds more meet their death at home, while preparing isrearlna for the hunt. These figures are ot particular interest now that we ap. proach the hunting season.
 Analyzlng the records of 13S deaths in typical shooting accidents of the hunt, the statistcian found that 60 occurred as the result of self-inflicted wounds, while the rest for the most part were caused by shots from the guns of companions or of hunters in other parties Oi the 60 self-inflicted fatal wounds, 10 were caused when hunters slipped stumbled, or fell, while 13 deaths came as the result of climbing over or through a fence carrying Q loaded gun mu2zle-first, and 10 hunters were killed as they picked up their loaded weapons from auto- mobile, canoe or other conveyance. Dragging their guns up trees, drop ping them to the ground and get- ting them entangled in underhrush were responsible for other self-in- flicted wounds causing death,
 Of the accidental deaths studied, Q companions gun. One man was 30 were caused by the discharge ot killed when he grasped the arm of 0 fellow-hunter to prevent his firing on 0 bird protected by the game laws. Five men stepped Into the line of fire of fellow marksmen, while three were killed by ricochetting bullets.
 Nineteen persons were killed by hunters in parties other than their own. Of these, 9 were mistaken for deer or smaller game "by hunters who were too impatient to take time to distinguish the object definitely, or who hurriedly fired as soon aa they saw @ disturbance in thick underbrush."
