Two Russians Face
42-Year Sentences
As Spies
Wife of Soviet TruveI
Agency Manager
Wins AcquittoI
Ry the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES. March 1.-Two
Russian natives. one of them a
naturalized American, faced terms
of 42 years in prison today-branded
as spies. despite their claims that
they acted for the mutual benefit
of this country and the Soviet in
exchanging information regarding
Japan.
Mikhail Gorin, a. Pacific Coast
manager of Intourist. Russian
travel agency, and Hafis Salich. 33,
whose ability as linguist earned
him appointment to the Intelligence
Service three years ago, were con-
victed last night of obtaining con-
fidential information, transmitting
it to the Soviet and of conspiracy
to obtain the data.
The Federal Court jury delib-
Grated 212 hours before returning
its verdict. which found attractive
Natasha Gorin, 80. wife of the
travel bureau official, innocent of
conspiracy. Earlier Judge Ralph
H. Jenney had ordered dismissal
of the obtaining and transmitting
counts against her
Remanded to Jail.
Both men were remanded to Jail
pending hearing at which Judge
Jenney will fix time for sentence,
hear defense arguments for new
trial and rule on the prosecutions
demand that bail be increased from
s25 900 to S50,000.
The jurist set precedent in
American courts yesterday when, in
his instructions to the jury, he gave
an Interpretation of national de-
fense as applying to "all matters di-
rectly and reasonably connected
with the defense of our Nation
against its enemies
He expressed the opinion that
information, documents, plans,
maps. etc, must directly relate to
the efficiency and effectiveness" of
the Nations military program. thus
denying a defense claim that data
which Salich was accused of sup
plying Gorin from naval files for
$1,700 was not confidential.
Many Strange Documents.
Documents mentioned specifically
during the trial ranged from one de-
scribing an acid solution which re-
acts against the metal hulls of bat
tleships when placed in salt water,
to such apparently incidental in
formation as the relationship be-
tween japanese girl and an Amer
ican sailor. Noted particularly were
reports that Japanese merchant
steamers approached as closely as
they could to American war vessels
in Los Angeles Harbor and that
photographs were taken from the
Nipponese craft with telescope lens.
When the jury returned it's ver-
dict Gorin and Salich accepted it
without emotion. Mrs. Gorin like
wise was calm, but Mrs. Velma Sa-
Itch, estranged wife of the former
Berkeley, Calf, policeman, wept
and kissed her husband repeatedly
as he was led past her, manacled
to Gorin.

Unsought Testimony Of Wife
Nearly JuiIs Husband

A wife's unwavering loyalty near
ly resulted in Jail for her husband
today.
James Howard Hicks, colored, 81,
Of "a G street s.W., was charged
with cutting Harry Willis Fortune,
colored, 20, of 623 Second street S.W.,
with knife. Fortune was charged
with striking Hicks with his fist.
Both men were put on trial together
before Judge Edward M. Curran
in Police Court.
The first question to arise was
who struck the first blow. Fortunes s
9-year-old daughter was called to
the stand, and after saying she knew
"the devil would get her If she told
a lie" she reviewed what she knew
Of the case. But she hadn't seen
the beginning, 81 said.

F. H. A. Debated
Before Committee
On Banking
Construction Authority
Says Agency Brings
CopitoI to Industry
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton was the subject of warm
debate yesterday before the Senate
Banking Committee.
Thomas S. Holden. authority on
construction data and vice president
OF the F. w. Dodge Corp, said the
agency had brought private capital
into industry by insuring mortgages
on homes. He said the Business
Advisory Council Of the Commerce
Department had approved pending
bill increasing the limit on F. H. A.
insured mortgages from $4,000 000,-
900 to $4,000, 900, 900.
Morton Bodfsh, spokesman for
the United States Building and
Loan League, urged that F. H. A
insurance. after July l, be limited
to actual new construction. Present
F. H. A. powers to refinance existing
mortgages have had very detri-
mental effect on local community
institutions such as building and
loan associations. he said.
Telegraphic Protests Cited.
The witness cited kilograms from
building and loan leaders protest
ing that F.. H. A. was trying to raid
their fields.
This caused George G. Johnson,
representing the Dime Savings Bank
Nf 1yyyN 70 Sc
organization of trying to get a
monopoly on refinancing of home
mortgages
Mr.. johnson. who said he spoke
for savings banks, said F. H. A.
insurance permitted these institu-
tions to invest in home mortgages.
There is over $l00,00O,000 avail
able in savings banks in the Long
Island area New York; for invest
ment in home financing If F.. H. A.
is continued" Mr.. johnson said.
Earlier in the day, John H. Fahey,
head of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. urged that F. H. A.
insurance be limited to moderniza-
ton and repair, or new construc-
ton.
Witnesses Urge Expansion.
Several witnesses from Philadel-
phia also praised the F. H. A. pro-
gram and urged its extension.
John H. McClatchy. who said his
firm had built $4,000 small homes
in Philadelphia during the last 40
years, said there was mo risk to
the Government in insuring up to
80 per cent of the value of homes
up to $4,000, and up to 80 per cent
on homes from $4,000 to $4,000"
Charles J. Mitchell, representing
the Pennsylvania Real Estate Asso-
citation, said F. H. A. had done
more to cure the curse of unemploy-
ment than any other Federal
agency"

east of the Capitol" Col Cosby
said. Even the proposed location
at Constitution avenue and John
Marshall place is eastward of the
center of population but would not
be Objectionable. provided adequate
parking facilities can be made
available nearby.
TO reach the end of East Capt.
tol street during the rush hours
most people would have to pass
through the same stream of traffic
that they would encounter in going
to John Marshall place, and then
would be only part way to their
destination.
TO combine successfully in one
structure an auditorium. an armory
and stadium would be difficult
matter. There would be occasions
when two or even all three would
be functioning at the same time,
and the resulting congestion would
be disastrous"
Would Restore Original Plan.
Mr.. Fleming voiced plea for the
restoration of the original plan for
the development of the National
Capital in accordance with the ideas
of the founders.
Back $50 years ago. he ex-
planned. "the planners of the city
of Washington proposed that the
plateau eastward from the United
States Capitol should be the best
part of the Capital City, evidenced
further by the fact that the Capt.
tol Building faces east.
1T would seem to me appropriate
and useful to have this public audi
torium with proper setting at East
Capitol street and the Anacostia
River"
Such a location would further a
necessary development in the vi
cinity and east of the Capitol which
is marked by such construction as
the United States Supreme Court
Building, the Library of Congress
and its recent new annex and the
Folger Library, Mr.. Fleming pointed
out.

YOUR BOY !
Ry THOMAS n. WRIGHT,
Boys Work Secretary
Fifth St. YMCA

One of the most difficult problems
facing parents IS that Of discipline.
What they are to do when certain
behavior problems present them
dives? How may they get the
necessary results, when faced with
such problems?
You mast naturally take into con-
sideration individual differences
no two individuals are alike. there
fore each individual must be studied
and worked with accordingly. Oh
md out Of date measures Of dlsclp-
inc are to be put aside and e
laced by intelligent and synpa
hetic understanding.
shall list some of the fnndamen
\ points to keep IN mind when ad-
ministsring discipline:
/. Always keep the boys point Of
view in mind (T'his will be hard to
do.)
2. All discipline must necessarily
be administered with kindness.
8. The more rigid the discipline
Ire kinder must be the enforcement.
d. Discipline must never be made
TO appear personal matter.
S. All discipline should resut II
the increase rather than the decrease
Of the offenders self-control.
6. There are time when the kind
ess thing is TO be stern, and make
boy take his medicine.
I. Whenever punishment is nee
essary it should be a hardship or
disgrace preferably the latter.
s.. Never give an order which
YOU do not mean to enforce. Boy'
like TO be told what to do # they
think you are the master of the sit
uation.
8. Remember the response OF
boy is in action Give your com
mands to stimulate action, not 6
inhibit or check, say do this rather
than don't do that. Suggestion IS
very powerful means Of getting any
thing done.
10. Give boy time for reaction
Say "you must go e bed IN ~ MN
utes," rather than go to bed quick
w.
Ii. Give reason what you ask
10y to do. and when possible taxi
inc To give the reason--he can SCI
The point if you can.
II. &c honest in what you say Q
80. A boys faith in you is you
reatest help.
Things that hurt arc the thing
that instruct
Next week We shall continue list
ing points that are necessary to goo
discipline.
