White House visitor, Henry Ford
said In an interview today that moth
ing has happened in recent weeks to
change his conviction that I'VE are
going to have the greatest era OF pros
perity and happiness We have ever
known"
Mr.. Ford sat sstride bench in the
mess hall Of a boys farm camp not
far from his home in Dearborn and,
pointing toward the nearly 800 acres
under cultivation by the young farm
ers, said:
"And 1t will come through back

Mr.. Ford reiterated his criticism
Of certain financial interests" which,
he said, would like to bring about an

Somebody once said that so fam
lilies have directed the destinies of

well be said that II somebody would

sistent with his opposition to certain
financial interests"

"Out of this philosophy of limiting

in SURPRISE STEP
Hearing Slated Monday on
Accusation Government
Tried Intimidation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, KY, June 3.-The Harlan
labor trial neared the end of It's third
week today in an atmosphere of tension
caused by a defense accusation that
the Government tried to intimidate
prospective witnesses.
AS the trial continued In Federal
court, attorneys for both sides pre-
pared arguments for hearing Mon
day night on a defense motion that
an agent of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation be cited for contempt Of
court.
The defense contends the action of
the agent, j. NJ O'Leary. in causing the
arrest of two defendants was an effort
at intimidation.
The defendants, Merle Middleton
and Lee Hubbard, both former Har-
Ian County deputy sheriffs, we're ar
rested Wednesday on Mr.. O'Leary's
charge that they conspired to suborn
perjury.
Attempt Is Denied.
The defense motion stated 1t was
necessary, because the Government
filed no bill of particulars detailing
its charges, for the defense to seek
witnesses while the trial was In prog
ress. In substance it denied Mr.. Mid
dleton and Mr.. Hubbard attempted
to obtain perjured testimony.

to u.s." said Assistant United States
Attorney General Brien Mcmahon,
chief of the prosecution staff. "As a
matter of fact, we do not take it seri-
ously and We deny any and all aIlega-
tions of misconduct on the part of the
Government"
Mr.. Hubbard and Mr.. Middleton
were mentioned from the witness stand
Monday by Ernest Huff. a Government
witness. Defense objections halted his
testimony after he told of meeting the
two defendants in Ages, KY, last week
end.
Three Under Bond.
Arrested with the two former deputies
on O'Leary's charge was Sammy
Thomas, employe of pool room Mr..
Hubbard owns at Ages. The three
were released under bonds of $4,000
each pending the November session
OF the Federal grand jury.
The defense motion regarding Mr..
O'Leary stated Mr.. Mcmahon had
said the Government expected to show
that Mr. Hubbard and Mr.. Middle
ton sought to procure a perjured
| statement from Mr.. Huff "as to the
whereabouts of Hubbard" the night
of the Staying of Bennett Musick in
February, 1887
Mr.. Musick was killed when volley
of bullets was fired into the Harlan
County home of his father, an organ
izer for the United Mine Workers of
| America.
In written response to the motion,
the Government denied it had inter-
fered with the gathering Of defense
evidence.
Another deviation from the taking
, Of testimony yesterday was defense
request that Judge H. Church Ford
declare a rnistrial as to Mr.. Hubbard
and Mr.. Middleton on the basis of
allegations in the contempt" motion.
The request was denied as had been
another defense motion for general
mistrial ruling Wednesday.

to prove that 20 corporations, %
corporation executives and % former
or present law officers conspired to
deprive miners of the right to union

cessive or collusive" After such re.
lection the commission could negotiate
or contract with domestic yards In an
effort to lower costs both for the op-
orator and Government.

ing what fair costs may be-"

mend a training system to Congress

vides for:
