quest of Robert S. Balm, agent for
Robert S. Nash, who toreclosed his
mortgage last February on the farm
on which the three sisters, now all
over so years old, have lived since
birth.
Counsel for Mr.. Balm asked for the
delay in order to obtain for presen-
tation to the court documents show

Dies Wants Conqress
To Back Probe With
.S50,00o 10 100000
Says Amount Needed
Will Depend Upon
Agency Cooperation

Planning to present IAN Ameri-
canism program for this country"
in an address at New York's Madi-
son Square Garden next week,
Chairman Dies of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
estimates that continuance of his
investigation in the coming session
of Congress will require from s50,-
900 to 100000.
The precise sum, he told reporters
yesterday, will be determined by
the amount of cooperation the
committee receives from Govern
ment agencies. Thus far, he said,
cooperation has been held to a
minimum.
The New York mass meeting will
be one of series, planned through
out the country, Representative
Dies explained, in crusade of real
Americanism.' He will participate,
he added, despite the fact that:
I'm worn out. I'm tired. If
could get out honorably, I'd get out
tomorrow because it's (the inves-
tigation headache from beginning
to end but it's thing that's got
to be done and I'm going to stick
with it until they (the administra-
tom take the responsibility for
killing 1t or contributing to it."
Mr.. Dies predicted "a series of
strikes and sabotage" if Communist
activities in the United States are
not exposed fully and quickly. He
repeated his charge that the Com
munist party was an agent of Mos
cow and proposed that the United
States sever relations with Russia
unless that nation abides by the
agreement which led to it's recog-
milton in 1888 The agreement
pledged the Soviets not to interfere
in internal affairs of this country.
In view of the facts we've got
Mr.. Dies said. I'VE ought to declare
that Soviet Russia has violated that
pact and unless we can get assur-
ances that it won't happen again,
we ought to sever relations entirely"
He said Russia had broken the
compact by "conspiring to break the
passport laws sending secret police
agents to the United States and
being a party to" the theft of IN
dustrial and military secrets which
were taken to Russia.
The plan of the party is to stop
shipments Of war materials to the
allles,' he went on. Unless those
people are exposed, we're going to
nave series Of strikes and sabotage
not connected in any manner with
improving labor conditions"

Veterans Preference

Defending the principle of vet
erans' preference in Federal ap-
pointments, George M. McNulty.
national commander of the National
Association of Veterans, said today
that this is not violative of the
merit system, because appointing
officers are not required to take unfit
personnel simply because they are
veterans.
The veteran preference law re-
Gently was attacked by witnesses be-
fore President Roosevelt's Committee
on Civil Service Improvement.
Mr.. McNulty said that during the
past few years very few veterans
have been appointed to professional

Mrs. Helen Hudson Jones, So, for
mer Baden (MdD school teacher.
who plunged to her death late yes
terday from the center span of the

According to Maryland acquaint-
ances. Mrs. Jones had attempted to
take her own life a month ago by
slashing her wrists and had been a

Desire 10 Work Stressed
By School Scientist

Children should grow up with a
desire to work instead of with the
habit Of always seeking the easies.
task, DR.. Martin L. Reymert, direc-
tor Of the laboratory for child re-
search at Moooseheart, Ill, told an
open meeting of the Women of the
Moose last night.
Partial blame, he said, rests with
the school system which allows kim
dergarten methods to be used in
high schools and colleges. Young
people, given an opportunity to
choose any subjects they like, will
select the easiest courses and grow
up learning nothing about self
discipline, he declared.
He attributed many of the nervous
disorders in adults to faulty training
in schools and home.
Training which will inculcate in
children respect for authority as
well as willingness to assume re-
sponsibility as individuals is a fea-
ture of the work at Mooseheart, he
said.
The children, DR.. Reymert tx
planned, live in small cottages with
cottage parents" supervising their
home life and trained instructors
and psychologists directing their
education.
DR.. Reymert, native of Norway
and former assistant professor in
the Royal University of Oslo, was
one of the scientists who sat in on
conferences concerning the Dionne
quintuplets. He is in Washington
to attend meetings of the American
Association for Applied Psychology
at the Wardman Park Hotel.
