Mr.. Halpern and Mr., Sobel also
were questioned by Starnes regarding
their testimony yesterday that between
1900 and 1.700 Americans were "vir-
tually prisoners" in Spain.
Mr.. Sobel. answering one OF the
questions. said the American fighters
were being held by American Com

Miss Margaret Kerr, official of the

said that in Los Angeles she had seen
the same persons at meetings of the
American League for Peace and De-

Representative Mason, Republican.
of Illinois, who has been attempting to
link the league woth Communism said:
Evidence on file with this COM

leading Communists today.
Denials that it's front for the Com

testimony that's been presented here"
Mr.. Mason on Wednesday named
eight Government officials here who,
he said, were league members.
Miss Kerr told of attending Com

asserted that Clarence Hathaway,

?. ". A. PLAN OFF,,
BALTIMORE FEARS
Bond Election Seems Likely
to Scrap $18,000,O00
Building Program.

Baltimore's proposed $4,000, 900 p
w. A. program appeared today to have
fallen through because of the i'm
practicability Of conducting q special
bond election by the September 80
deadline.
The situation developed at a con-
ference between the city's chief en-
gineer, F. J. Duncan. and COL E. w.
Clark, executive assistant to Howard
A. Gray, acting P. w. A. administrator.
The Baltimore authorities had
planned special election on Novem-
Der to receive authority to accept
a p. w. A. grant Of $8,181, ,8lS toward
q program for urgently-needed mu-
nicipal construction The city would
put up the $4,000, 900 balance.
The problem involved in postponing
approval Of the program until the
election results are made known was
discussed at the conference. Col
Clark, it was said. informed the Bal
timore engineer that no more p w
A. funds vii be allocated after Sep
tember 80.
The conferees discussed the posi-
bility OF holding an earlier bond elec.
ton, but Mr.. Duncan said he believed
this would be impracticable.
The P. w. A. has served similar no.
tices on other cities in the matter OF
belated bond elections.
Meanwhile p. w. A. officials were
pondering the abrupt action taken by
Commissioner Harry Ervine of Cum.
berland, Md, in turning down a $l13,-
900 grant to aid in the construction OF
an addition to the Memorial Hispital
in that city. He had said he was fed
upon p. w. A. and w. P. A. and
favored going ahead on any. projects
which are necessary with our own
money" The City Council previously
had accepted the P. w. A. grant OF
funds
Pending an official reply to Com
missioner Ervine. 1t was learned today
that the Cumberland official had
beaten p. w. A. to the punch" Revo-
cation Of the grant has been under
consideration.

One of the high lights of the COM

win Hubble of the Carnegie Institu-
ton of Washington, the original dis
coverer Of the island universes.
1t was partly because Of this situa-
ton that DR.. Shapley undertook the
titanic universe map on which prog
ress was reported today, making use
Of the galaxies reported by other as
tronomers and the vast numbers found
by members Of the Harvard staff, both
at Boston and at their Southern Hemi-
sphere observatory in South Africa. At
the latter place was found, DR.. Shap-
ley reported, what seemed to be a vast
window" into infinity in the boundary
Of the Milky Way galaxy through
which the astronomers could look out
on vaster aggregations of island uni
verses than in other directions.
This might be due, he explained, to
one of two reasons-either that there
were more of them in this direction,
or for some reason their light was less
absorbed In entering the Milky Way
aggregation 50 that the eye of the as
tronorner's camera could see them more
easily.
All Clustered in Groups.
Considering the distribution in all
directions in which it has been pos
sible to conduct surveys, DR.. Shspley
eported today, there seems to be no
uniformity in pattern. Sometimes they
become more numerous with increas-
ing distance and sometimes exactly
the opposite seems to be true, One
outstanding fact is that they are
clustered in family groups, somewhat
like the islands in the Pacific. The
Malky Way galaxy itself is . member
Of one such family, other members Of
which are the two Clouds of Magellan,
visible in the Southern Hemisphere,
the first discovered nebula in Andro-
media, and one or two others.
DR.. Shapley attempted no explana-
ton of the great irregularities of dis
tribution he found, but insisted that
it offsets the value of evidence against
the theory Of an expanding universe
based on uniform, density gradients,
that 1t makes it impossible to calculate
from distribution alone the rate Of
this expansion, and that the helter-
skelter arrangement must be con-
sidered an important factor in any
future genealogical theories

Hitherto there have been only par
tial maps of this pew vastness sud-
denly opened up for astronomical ex-
ploration, like the distorted maps of
the New World put out for 4 century
or more after Columbus and based on
the accounts of a single explorer in
one direction. This has led, DR.. Shap-
ley believes, to various misconcep-
tions upon which have been based
theories of the structure Of creation as
a whole.
Among these, widely accepted for a
time. is that OF the Belgian priest,
Georges lie Maitre, formerly 4 pro-
fessor of the Catholic University Of
America in Washington, that all things
were included about 10000, 900 900
years ago in a single monster atom

SPECIAL BOARD
MAY TRY POLICE
Seal Will Urge Procedure
Against Two in Keys
Shooting Case.

Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
announced today he would recommend
creation Of a special Trial Board to
hear charges Of unauthorized use Of
firearms against two policemen who
figured in the fatal shooting last March
of Leroy Keys, SO, colored World War
veteran.
The announcement came as the Dis
trict Commissioners formally approved
MIR. Seals proposal for a hearing for
Pyts. John w. Nally. ~, and Robert
M. Henry, 81. Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen had accepted Mr.. Seals re-
port informally late yesterday. The
corporation counsel held the officers
were not justified in fatally wounding
Keys after the demented ex-service
man had barricaded himself in his
apartment.
There have been numerous prece-
dents for action by a special Trial
Board, rather than the regular board
composed Of officers OF the Police De-
partment, Mr. Seal said. A special
board in this case could be made up
of all civilians, all police officers or
both, he added.
May Participate in Case.
Frequently, Mr.. Seal said, the cor
poration counsel and his assistants are
asked to assist in Trial Board hearings
In important cases, because Of legal
questions involved. He expressed the
belief his office would be asked to pre-
pare charges against the two police
men.
Pvts. Nally and Henry have re-
mained on duty since Keys death.
The grand jury refused to take action
in the case, and an investigation by
Mr.. Seal followed. The corporation
counsel said today the charges would
be presented "as soon as possible" but
Inspector L. l. H. Edwards, acting su-
perintendent Of police, stated the Po-
lice Department had not yet been Of
ficially notified Of the Commissioners
action. The inspector said any pos
sible action toward suspending the
policemen would await his reading OF
the charges.
The officers were cruising near Keys
home. in the 2400 block of Ontario
road NV, when they saw him with
a knife. In few minutes he was bar
ricaded in his first-fioor apartment,
throwing various articles out the win
dow at the policemen as they sought
to quiet him.
Before two coroner's juries the Of
f1cers testified they fired into Keys
apartment with their service revolvers
because they feared for their own lives
and those Of several elderly persons
living on the floor above The shots
were fired when the policemen saw
Keys furniture burning inside, they
also testified.
The coroner's juries disagreed and,
on the basis of ballistics tests, Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald turned evi-
dence in the case over to the United
States attorneys office for presentation
to the grand jury.
Mr.. Seal held that failure of the
grand jury to indict the officers was
not conclusive. and said:

VAN DYKE ENRAGED.

Film Director Denies Industry Is
"Hotbed Of Communism"
Ey the Associated Press.
w. S. Van Dyke, director for Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer, today challenged
statements that the motion picture
industry was "hotbed Of Com
munism."
Edward F. Sullivan, an Investigator
for the Dies committee, had accused
prominent Hollywood residents, whom
he did not name. of radicalism. Mr..
Van Dyke. who is vice president of the
Screen Directors Guild. sent this tele-
gram to Chairman Dies, Democrat, of
Texas:
Il challenge the implication of the
statement of Mr.. Sullivan that the
motion picture industry is hotbed
of Communism. In all of my % years
Of endeavor in motion pictures know
personally of but two active or inactive
Communists.
Mr.. Sullivan evidently knows little
Of movie picture people and probably
less Of Communism, and in my opin-
ion is very common liar. If all
other testimony directed against c. I.
o. Is as inaccurate, my respect for the
organization grows"

that time itself slows down with the

altogether. The possibility Of such an
