TO CLOSE
OTIS PL. FOUGHT

Aimed at the protection Of chill
dren in the Park View School, a
proposal to close Otis Place, west
of Warder st. N. w., is to be pro-
tested at a meeting of the Park
View Citizens Association tonight
in the school.
The street closing. would cut of
the main artery of access to the
section east Of the intersection OF
Otis Place and Warder Street, the
citizens claim.
The District Commissioners
have proposed the street closing
because of it's proximity both to
the school and the Park View
Playground. A hearing on the
proposal will be held next Monday
at 10 O. m. in the District Build
ing.
At tonight's meeting, a large
delegation will be selected to at
tend the Commissioners hearing.
Several hundred signatures have
already been obtained on petitions
which are being circulated through
the neighborhood protesting the
proposal.
A proposal similar to the one
now pending was abandoned sew

MOTHER NEEDS
ELOPING SINGER

KINGSTON, N. Y, Nov. Z
G.N.S0.-Two forgiving parents
today sent an appeal to Martha
May Avery, 26-year-old choir
singer, whose pure, deep love-
led her into a trailer elopement
with her 59-year-old pastor, the
Rev. Leonard e. Richmond.
"I only want to appeal
to Martha'S heart" said her
mother, Mrs. Ida Avery, wife OF
Kingston, N. Y, farmer. I
am ill and I know that when
she realizes what a shock this
has been to me and that I
will not be we'll until she re-
turns, that will be enough to
bring her back to her family"
The preacher and Miss Avery are
believed to be on their way to
Reno, where Richmond plans to
divorce his estranged wife and
marry the choir singer. Rich
mond's 17-year-old son is with
them.
The Evangelical congregation OF
Richmond's little Union Center
Church outside Poughkeepsie held
a prayer meeting last night al
which they offered up prayers fol
the return Of Martha.

Jurors stared at the young de-
fendant, who seemed oblivious Of
their presence. Now and then
Irwin stole a glance at the large
battery of newspapermen cover
ing the trial.
Start Jury Picking
Among the talismen excused
was Joseph 1sraels. publicity rep
resentative of former Governor
Alfred E. Smith and the express
agent of Halle Selassie.
Finally the task of selecting a
Jury was begun.
Defense Attorney LeiboWitz first
made motion, however, challeng-
ing the entire panel of $50 be-
cause. he declared women had
been excluded.
Judge Wallace overruled the
motion.
The State will demand death in
the electric chair for Irwin. The
defense hopes to save the artist
by pleading insanity.
Irwin said he went to the Gedeon
apartment that fatal night intend
ing to kill Veronicas sister, Mrs.
Ethel Kudner. She wasn't in; Mrs.
Gedeon was. He told her he
wanted to see Ethel.
Mrs. Gedeon turned on me-"
he said. "She said I was no good.
She ordered me to get out. 1 hit
her. She fell down, screaming.
She put up a hell of a fight"
After strangling her lit was
along toward midnight Irwin
waited several hours until We
ronica, or "Ronnie," as she was
known, came home.
He seized and Strangled her.
Byrnes, the hapless boarder, was
asleep in a nearby room. Irwin
stole into the room and hacked
him to death with an ice pick.
Irwin went to his own rented
room. not far away, and slept
soundly. When he awoke he hearc
newsboys shouting "extras" about
the triple murder. He fled town.

He said he was personally ac-
quainted with SapoSs, having
known him when he was a lecturer
at the Brookwood Labor College
and Saposs was a pupil. He de
scribed Brookwood as a left
wing" labor school that is now de
funct.
Concerning his secret meeting
with Browder in 1898, Mathews
said:
Il had had numerous con-
ferences with Mr.. Browder at
his office in Communist head
quarters, New York city.
"He wanted to know if I had
a contact in the Department Of
State. He said he wanted me to
contact the department for the
Communist party with a view
to the party using the processes
of diplomatic immunity to trans
fer funds from Soviet Russia to
the United States for the Com
muniSt party of America"

Says SNl1OSS

Dave SapOSs, Labor Board
economist, accused today of
authOring a textbook for
Communists" in testimony
before the Dies committee,
pointed out that his book was
written as the thesis for his
doctors degree at Columbia
University and was super
vised and approved by the
late Prof. Henry r. Seager,
chairman of the economics
department of the school.
"The book was intended to
be a scholarly objective
work." SapOss said. "As the
subtitle indicates, 1t was
meant as an objective anal
ySis of radical policies in the
labor movement. In it I point
out how futile were the
efforts of the /. w. w. and
the Communist party to
strengthen the labor move
ment by calling unnecessary
strikes.
81 am not q Communist,
and if the Communists are
using my book I'll have to
look into it. 1 haven't re-
ceived any royalties on it for
years."

party and certainly Is not
a member of the Communist
party"

Kennedy and Randolph
Toss-up Candidates

Come what may when the ma
ton goes to the polls tomorrow,
in a tense election test OF the
New Deal, the District will emerge
with a new mayor"
Irrespective of issues, which
President Roosevelt described as
a fight between liberalism and
conservatism, Washington's prin-
cipal stake is the after-election
issue of the Craftsmanship of the
House District Committee.
Vincent L. Palmisano, the little
Italian from Baltimore, who ruled
the committee for a year, is out
after tomorrow's election, the
Craftsmanship will be a toss-up
between Representatives Ambrose
J. Kennedy Cd Of Maryland,
ranking members, and Jennings
Randolph CD of West Virginia.
FRIENDS OF DISTRICT
Neither of them are expected
to have much difficulty with
Republican opposition tomorrow.
Both are friends of the District,
Randolph being the sponsor Of the
suffrage resolution, which he has
promised to reintroduce and Ken
nedy having sought other District
reforms, including reorganization
of the local government.
The craftsmanship depends on
whether Kennedy decides to retain
his Craftsmanship Of the House
Claims Committee, in preference
to the local committee. He has
indicated he will, which will give
the job of mayor" to Randolph.
BIGELOW IN DANGER
Other ranking members of the
District Committee seem to be in
no danger of losing their congress
sional seats, with the possible ex-
ception of Rep. Herbert S. Bige-
low CD of Ohio, who is running
against stiff opposition from his
Republican predecessor, William
Hess.
Tommy D'Alesandro, the young
Democrat who took the primary
away from the veteran Palmisano
and who has indicated a strong in
clination to take a seat on the
District Committee, is facing a
strong fight from John A. ia
netzke, jr.. his Republican ad-
versary in Baltimore.

During the last three years
war has been in the making as
rapidly as the worlds mad dogs
could bring it about. Japan
grew impatient at the slowness
of the proceeding and attacked
the enemy she had picked for
her meat. Mussolini grabbed
Ethiopia and Hitler not to be
outdone, has absorbed Austria.
The Japanese and Italians paid
in blood and treasure for their
ACQUISITIONS, but Germany w on
an easy victory by the power
of an idea and the willingness
of the Austrians to be govern
ed by a "super-man.
The Jews who have accumu-

appointment is all the more
keenly felt because the bill was
defeated not by an adverse
vote of a majority of the mem
bers of the upper house, but by
the obstructive tatics of little
group of Senator's, mostly from
the south, covertly aided and
abetted by substantial number
of northern Republican Senators
who thought to embarass t h e
administration by placing the
blame on the Democratic party.
The debate on the bill for the
most part consisted of prevalent
and fanastic oratorical exhibit
tionism that at times degenerat-
ed into a display of pure ignor-
ance. If the speeches of GER
tain Of the southern Senators
are induces of the mental nature
of the political leadership of the
south, then the south is to be
pitied and the nation suffers.
