Parole From Prison
Is Refused Pendergasf
By the Associated Press.

os TIC ASSOCldteO fIeSS.
The Federal Parole Board re-
fused yesterday to grant a parole
to Tom Pendergast, erstwhile DEM
ocratic boss Of Kansas City, who is
serving 15-month term in Leaven-
worth Prison for evading the in
come tax law.
The decision meant that Pender-
gast probably will stay in the peni-
tentiary until May 80, 1910, which
would be a year and a day from
his entry. Good behavior would cut
his sentence to that length despite
the boards decision.
"The board" a statement said
''is constrained by the conviction
that parole issuance in the case OF
Thomas j. Pendergast would be I'M
justifiable and incompatible with
the public interest"
It reached this decision, the board
said, after a most thorough inves-
tigation" in which it took into con-
sideration Pendergast's age, health,
previous clear record and his plea
of guilty.
Pendergast is 81 and some time
ago was reported to be seriously i'll.
After 28 years of activity in poll
tics he was indicted April Z on
charges of failing to pay taxes on
$3l5,OO0 received in connection with
a $9,500.000 settlement of a Mis-
souri, fire rate insurance dispute in
which policyholders received only 20
per cent.

Imperialism Aim
Of War by Allies, Says
Indian Nationalist
Youth Council Speaker
Urges American Support
For Freedom Move

The British Ambassador to the
United States, Lord Lothian, was
characterized as merely a mouth
piece Of British imperialism here"
by Rajni Patel, member Of the In
dian National Congress, in a talk
last night arranged by the Wash
ington Youth Council.
The Hindu nationalist classed
Lord Lothian. with Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Premier Daladier
Of France as leaders in q struggle to
consolidate Imperialism in the
world" He challenged contentious
of French and British leaders that
their aim in the current European
conflict is defense of democracy and
declared they could not claim sup
port of the Indian peoples for the
allies cause.
Mr.. Patel said dispatch of Indian
troops to key defense points in the
empire and to the theater of war
in Europe was contrary to the will
of India's citizens.
Claims Broken Promises.
The speaker charged British
claims of seeking preservation of
democratic principles were refuted
by failure to grant self-determina-
ton to India, as promised when aid
was sought during the World War.
He said alleged unrest" was merely
an expression by the people Of their
strong will for freedom and SELF
government
Mr.. Patel declared Indian ma
tionalists, members Of the congress,
regarded maharajahs and nabobs
as relics Of barbarism" maintained
by Britain in the interest of con-
tinued imperialist domination.
The visitor, a graduate of Cam
bridge University and barrister of
law at Middle Temple, London,
urged American support for the
cause of Indian freedom and for
Chinese independence, as well. Ac-
tive in affairs of the congress for
10 years, he said he had the privi-
lege at the age of IA of going to
Jail for two terms of six months"
for nationalist efforts.
Calls for Education.
Mr.. Patel pointed out Britain
spends large sums in India for po-
lice, jails and armies of occupa-
ton" and said these funds could be
used to better advantage in increas-
ing the hteracy rate through
schools. He added policing was d.
rected particularly against evidences
of nationalist sentiment.
The native of Bombay spoke un-
der joint auspices Of the council, the
American Student Union, National
Negro Congress, American League
for Peace and Democracy and the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.

SmortIy Dressed Crowd Attends
'Preview' of New Morgue
Speakers Stress Absence Of Gum
Horror in Modern Structure

A 'first-night" audience in dinner
jackets and silver foxes roamed last
night through the f1ower-banked
halls of the building which tomorrow
will open as the city's house of death.
But like the building itself, which
was designed to take the horror
away from those who must come
here" the housewarming at the new
District Morgue suffered from no
hint OF gloominess.
Instead, it was taken as an oc-
casion by representatives of the Po-
lice Department, the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation and the legal
and medical professions to pay
tribute to DR.. A. Magruder Mac
Donald, for whom the new building
has been lifetime ambition"
1t was likewise an occasion for
comparison. One speaker after an
other contrasted the supermodern
fireproof building on the Gallinger
Hospital grounds with its predeces-
sor, the ramshackle, churchlike
structure on the water front.
Pine and Darr Speak.
United States Attorney David A..
Pine called the old morgue an out
moded, obsolete disgrace, melan-
choly beyond the requirements Of a
morgue." Seton Darr, president of
the District Bar Association, said
the GUINNESS of the old building was
partly responsible for "the most hor-
rible emotions" he felt when he had
to accompany a friend to the old
morgue to identify the friends son,
an 8-year-old boy killed in an au-
tomobile accident.
DR. John Lyon, president of the
District Medical Society, summed
up the subject by stating that 1.-The
contrast between this building and
the old morgue can only be appre-
ciated by one who has had associa-
ton with the old morgue."
Before the guests settled down in
the hearing room for the official
dedication ceremonies, they wan
dered through the building, opening
the refrigeration" chambers, peer
ing through microscopes in the
laboratory and examining the eff
cient equipment in the autopsy
room.
Although a few of the more
squeamish ones turned away from
the death masks, photographs and
crime exhibits, most of them looked
with interest on such relics of homi-
eide cases as the meat cleaver that
split a mans skull.
Also on display in the room which
will be taken over by DR.. Macdonald
and Deputy Coroners Christopher j.
Murphy and Richard Rosenberg as
a laboratory were the weapons used
by a youth in committing suicide. In
the card of explanation accompany
ing the exhibit, it was pointed out
that the youth, having no revolver,
had first attempted suicide by plac-
ing q candle behind a cartridge held
by a pair of pliers. The heat ex-
ploded the shell but only q glancing
wound resulted. Then the youth
tried poison. and, where this failed,
hanged himself with his necktie.

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.

Associated Press Foreisn Affairs Writer.
The Anglo-Gernan argument over
whether the Nazis in violation Of in
ternational law have set mines adrift
In the crowded shipping lanes of the
east coast Of England is of small
moment as compared wit hthe real
significance Of this whole situation.
Armchair disputes over points of
law don't get very far, anyway, when
great nations are gripping each
others throats.
The importance Of the position is
that with the was less than three
months old the British blockade al
ready has produced a crisis.
Germany not only finds herself cut
of from vital food and military sup
plies by water, but recently has
made the disconcerting discovery
that she cannot draw on the Balkans
for what she had expected.
The World War ghost of privation
Is beginning to rattle its chains a
bit as grim warning.
Smashing Hole Only Solution.
Hitler's only solution thus far has
been to smash a hole through that
blockade. And so. as the garrote of
warships has frightened about the
neck Of the Reich, the Fuehrer has
struc kback fiercely with the double
purpose of freeing his country and
turning the tables by cutting of
supplies from England.
The disastrous plague of mines is
new in this war. Germany has de-
MED laying unanchored mines, but
hasn't denied laying anchored mine
fields in vulnerable spots on the
British coast, as the fatherland did
throughout the World War.
In the last conflict mines were
laid in fields of hundreds along the
English Channel, where both al
lied and neutral shipping passed.
After 1915 almost all German mine
laying was carried out by subma-
| rines.
The total number of German
mines laid in all parts of the world
is set down as 1886 in British
records.
Naturally Britain is worried at the
wholesale sinkings of the past few
days. She is far more dependent
on the outside world for supplies

Glass Describes
Neutrality Law.
JAS 'DisgracefuI'
Senator Predicts Repeal;
Thinks U. S. Will Stoy
Out Of War
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Carter Glass said yester.
day the new neutrality law "is dis
graceful" and should be repealed
when Congress convenes in jan
uary.
The Virginia Democrat declared
no neutrality legislation was neces-
sary because, in the absence of a
statute, the executive branch would
direct foreign policy within the
framework of international law.
Il wouldn't be a bit surprised if
Congress repeals the act," Senator
Glass declared. 1T certainly ought
to. The United States is saying,
Please, Mr.. Hitler, where do you
want our ships to go and where
shouldn't they go?'"
The 81-year-old Senator said he
believed the people and the Congress
would be convinced of the imprac-
ticability of the act after they had
observed it's operation fully.
Ship Transfer Plan Assailed.
Senator Glass declared he saw
no chance Of American participa-
ton in the European war unless
Germany sinks our ships in contra
vention of international law"
The ecently-proposed transfer of
American ships to Panamanian
registry would have been a dis
graceful evasion OF the Neutrality
Act" the Senator asserted.
Discussing other issues, he said
in response to questions that ex-
penses of the Army "are high enough
now," but that I'VE ought to have a
Navy that can't be licked"
Il think it is well for a nation
OF this magnitude to have strong
Navy" the Senator said. IT don t
think there is any danger of any,
body coming over here and whipping
the Army we've already got"
May Launch Economy Fight.
The Virginian said the mounting
public debt is bringing on a day
when we must repudiate our in
debtedness, inflate-which would be
form of reputation and would be
worse-or have unendurable taxes"
If the Democratic party is to win
in 1910, Senator Glass said, the
administration should stop the pres
ent deficit spending. He added that
he might make fight for curtailed
expenditures at the next session if
it appeared possible he could sue
ceed.

City Bank Employees
will Receive Bonus

Extra compensation to all en-
ployes of the City Bank, equivalent
to a half months salary, to be paid
during December, has been voted by
the Board of Directors, President
Clarence F. Burton announced to-
day.
This Is the first Christmas bonus
declared by any Washington bank
this year. In 1888 majority of
the citys banking institutions add
ed to the Yuletide happiness of en-
ployes by voting bonuses in vary
ing amounts.
Action by the City Banks board
is in line with reports of steady
expansion in loans and an impor-
tant uptrend in other bank earn
ings in recent months.
