ATLANTA SUIT FIGHTS
FIXING OF COAL PRICES

A complaint, filed by the City of At
lanta Ga, challenging the constitu-
tionality of the Guffey Coal Act and
denying that the National Bituminous
Coal Commission has authority to fix
minimum coal prices, was on file yes
terday in District Court. The munich
pality asked the court for restraining
order against the commission filing coal
prices and also for declaratory judg-
ment
Pointing out to the court that the
city uses 10000 tons of steam coal an
nually, the municipality asserts that
its functions would be interfered with
If the commission fixes the prices At
torneys j. c. Murphy and Charles S.
Rhyme, on behalf of the city, con-
tended the commission is without au-
thority to promulgate minimum price
orders, and if it does, the city should
be exempt.

Drastic Tidal Basin
Changes Forecast
By Wender
Civic Leader Claims
Memorial Is First Step
In Extensive Plan

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
is just one phase of scheme to re-
vamp the entire Tidal Basin area,
"slaughtering" most of the cherry
trees on the northern side of the
basin, Harry Wender told members
of the Southwest Citizens Associa-
ton last night.
Mr.. Wender, president of the
group. said he learned from an "un-
impeachable authority that the
plan involves filling in almost a
quarter of the Tidal Basin along
the northern side SO as to permit
the extension of Independence ave-
nue. S.W. to the Lincoln Memorial
Despite protests. authorities are
going ahead with the memorial. I
have been told that as soon as con-
tracts for the memorial are let, or
as soon after as public opinion will
stomach it, carrying out the rest
of the plan will be started. Mr..
Wender expressed surprise that the
"diabolical scheme" had not come
to light earlier.
Send Protest to Roosevelt.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton, transmitted this morning to
President Roosevelt, condemning the
type of memorial to be erected, the
Tidal Basin as its site, destruction
of the cherry trees or other trees.
and protesting plans such as out
lined by Mr.. Wender.
The whole Tidal Basin area is in
the Southwest Citizens Association
territory
Unsanitary conditions in the
Washington Channel were also pre-
dicted by Mr.. Wender should ex-
tensive changes in the shore lines
eliminate the east gate Of the Tidal
Basin.
The disturbance at the 4th
police precinct station house when
applications for charwomen's posi-
tions were distributed there last

gentleman" who was not interested
in obtaining a position, as were the
ladies in line" but who succeeded
in having the police lines broken.
Gratified by Commendation.
Capt. Letterman expressed gratifi-
cation at the associations action
last month in commencing the
police for the way they handled
the situation. 1T is about time the
citizens woke up and supported their
law-enforcing agencies he said.

Dean Noe Still
Continues Fast

(UP) The only man who can
intervene in the fast being con-
Quoted by the Rev. Israel H. Noe
An attempt to prove that I'M
mortality is a fact as well as an
article of the Christian faith
was seriously i'll today, unaware
of the amazing spiritual test that
is going on here.
He is Bishop James NJ. Maxon
of the Episcopal diocese Of Ten
nessee. Even he lacks authority
to intervene unless Noe, dean of
the Cathedral of st. Mary, vio-
lates Canon law. So far there has
been no violation. Dean Noe has
carefully performed every church
duty required of him and today,
despite his weakened condition
from Is days without food or
water, he planned to make a trip
to Knoxville to attend the con-
vention OF the Tennessee diocese.
Bishop Maxon is unable to see
visitors, and friends said the news
of Dean Noes fast was beng
kept from him.

Interior Dept.
Fraud, Intrigue
Further Charged
Senate Group Hears Ale
cations of Dummy
CCC Camp

WASHINGTON. Jan. !S. tUp)
New tales of espionage, fraud and
intrigue in the department of in
terror, with inferences that White
House telephone wires may have
been tapped, were unfolded yes
terday at the senate public lands
committees hearing on the quail.
fications of Ebert X. Burlew to
be first assistant to Secretary
Harold l.. Ickes.
The days chief witness was
Louis R. CLAWS, former head Of
the departments espionage corps
who denied his investigators
eavesdropped on telephone con-
versations of President Roosevelt
but admitted that incoming de-
partment calls probably were ta-
ken down in shorthand.
CLAWS testified after the COM
mittee heard further revelations
in connection with the defalca-
tions of Reno Stitley, former
chief voucher clerk for the Civil
ian Conservation corps who muict-
ed the government of $4,000.
Testimony yesterday brought
out that Stitley audaciously set
up a dummy CCC camp with a
non-existent supervisor, eight
mythical foremen, and no enroll
es: that he signed checks for
these "employes" and pocketed
the proceeds; that he raised the
civil service classification of two
of them and increased their pay;
that some of the foremen took
sick leave, and that he operated
for three and one-half years be-
fore he was arrested.
A. E. Demaray, associate drec'
tor of the National Park service
which comes under interior de-
partment jurisdiction, was ques-
toned sharply by Senator Key
Pittman, D., New, on why 1t took
the park service more than three
wears to discover Stitley's frauds
He blamed the war department
which dominates the CCC and IS Is
supposed to double-check CCC
vouchers, but Pittman disputed
this and limited that new and
more startling revelations con
corning the dummy camp were
yet to come.
