Morris E. (Dutch) Irwin, big
shot gambler who was sentenced to
serve from two to six years for vio-
lation of the gaming laws, today
was denied release on parole.
Irwin, the Board of Indeterminate
Sentence and Parole reported, had
admitted he had been engaged in
the gambling business in Washing

ing his career, the board concluded

OF this character and that undue
leniency should not be shown
In its decision, the board said:
His past record is not favorable.
He was dishonesty discharged from
the United States Army in 1906.
The record shows that his criminal
history dates back to 1917, during
which year he was convicted on four
charges of false pretenses. He for
feited $50 for gaming in 1928.
He has been recognized for some
years as one Of the big shot gam
blers of Washington and frankly
admits that he operated one OF the
large gambling places.

HAMBURG. Feb. 14.-Germany's

of Bismarck slide down the ways

cellor's hopes had triumphed at last

Before $4,000 heiling Nazi digni-

the opportunity of picturing the
creator of the German Empire as
much the same kind of man as
himself-destined by Providence to
be lonely figure fighting against
a world of obstacles.
The spirit of Bismarck, he said
should shine before the eyes of
those who man the new $4,000 ton

on Nazidom's self-styled road of
destiny for 1939-"in the hours of
the most difficult performance OF

He said Bismarck stood forth
among all others who helped create
the "preconditions for the present

Everywhere the nonenities arose
in opposition to the only genius of
his time.
1T was fight which only he can
appreciate who himself has been

Hitler said the destruction of the
German fleet after the World War

hearts" and shouted that National
Socialism tore the nation out of its

B-Mi|e Speed Limit
Formally Approved
By Commissioners
Increase to Be Effective
10 Days After Legal
Notice Is Published

An increase in the speed limit
from % to Is miles per hour was
approved today by the Commission
ers and will become effective after
10 days publication of legal notice.
This would be February Is if the
notice is published tomorrow.
The speed increase was recon-
mended by Traffic Director William
A. Van DuZer and the Traffic Ad-
visory Council. 1t has been under
discussion for some months, argu-
ments being made that the 22-mile
limit is an arbitrary figure and that
1t Is difficult both for drivers and
police to tell exactly when the a.
mile limit is exceeded by one or
more miles per hour.
In fact, it has been generally
understood that little attempt has
been made at enforcement unless
drivers exceed Is miles an hour.
The Commissioners, meanwhile.
approved a proposed bill to make
use OF parking meters permanent
and providing for extension of the
use of the coin-collection devices in
other sections beyond the downtown
congested zone.
Adoption of these measures comes
on the heels of approval by the
Commissioners of pedestrian-control
regulations, under which jay-
walkers who cross intersections
against traffic signals or the direc-
tions OF police officers will face ar
rest, a trip to the station house and
a fine Of from 81 to $500.
In approving the new speed limit,
the Commissioners had before them
a declaration by Traffic Director
Van Duzer that "a speed of Is miles
an hour on city streets is a much
safer speed at present than % miles
an hour was in 1925"
Mr.. Van Duzer added: when the
22-mile-an-hour speed limit was
first adopted by Congress, it was a
compromise between 20 and Is. At
that time all cars were equipped
with mechanical, two-wheel brakes.
Since that time hydraulic and other
forms of four-w wheel brakes have be-
come almost universal"

Democrats. Told
Cooperation Is
Needed in House
Members, Urged to Go
Along With President, ,
Blame Roosevelt
Bs the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
House Democrats heard complaints
at q party conference today that
there was not enough cooperation
between the White House and DEM
ocratic legislators.
Several members who attended the
closed meeting in the House cham
Der asserted that Representative
Cox, Democrat, Of Georgia had made
rousing speech, the tenor of which
was the administration would do
well to 60 along with Congress and
not insist so much that Congress
go along with it.
While the conference, held in an
atmosphere Of cigar smoke and gen.
eral good fellowship, was described
by Democratic leaders as entirely
harmonious, a number of those pres
ent said Representative Cox had
spoken of lack of consultation be-
tween the White House and Demo-
cratic legislators.
They said the Georgian, who has
opposed some administration meas
ures, had suggested that if Mr..
Roosevelt took members into his
confidence more he would obtain
greater cooperation from Congress.
Others Reiterate Cox Stand.
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, other Demo-
Gratis said, spoke along the same line
as Mr.. Cox, protesting the Presi-
dents action in sending another
special message on relief to Con-
gress after it had made a $15O, 900 900
reduction in the amount Mr.. Roose-
welt had asked for w. p. A..
Administration leaders in the
House were said to have urged har.
mony and better attendance at ses-
sions. Majority Leader Rayburn of
Texas said he thought the meeting
would result in a larger turnout of
party adferents at the daily ses-
sions, and particularly when impor-
tant votes are scheduled.
Last week the House voted down
a $17,0OO,0O0 appropriation for the
tennessee Valley Authority for
work on the Gilbertswille Dam. This
was done by a teller vote of l5s
to 1872.
1t was pointed out that the Demo-
Gratis, with a normal majority OF
100 in the House, had not turned
out for the vote. One report was
that IS Democratic members of the
House were out of the city last
week when the T. v. A. appropria-
ton bill was being considered.

Westerne|
For brandeis
Court Post
SenotorSVoicina
Desire; Tribute
Is General
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The retirement of Justice Louis
D. Brandeis from the Supreme Court
brought a chorus of senatorial de-
mands today that Westerner be
appointed to the seat he held for
nearly % years.
Only one member of the court,
Western legislators pointed out,
comes from beyond the Mississippi
River. He is Justice Pierce Butler
of Minnesota.
The 82-year-old Justice Brandeis,
whose shock of unruly iron-gray
hair made him a picturesque figure
on the bench, made known his de-
cision to retire in a one-sentence
note to President Roosevelt late
yesterday.
An hour before the venerable jur-
ist had stepped down from his high
backed chair in a crowded court
room for the last time. AS he dis
appeared with his colleagues be-
hind the heavy draperies he gave
no public indication that he never
would return to his place at the
left Of Chief Justice Hughes.
The President, recuperating at
the White Houese from the grippe,
promptly penned a letter of re-
gret, in which he said:
THE country has needed you
through all these years, and I hope
you will realize, as your old friends
do, how unanimous the Nation has
been in its gratitude to you"
Tributes Are General.
Congressional tributes to Mr..
Brandeis were general, in contrast
to the furore aroused over his ap-
pointment by President Wilson in
1916. He was the first Jew to sit
on the court, and his critics had
pictured him as radical and a vio-
lent partisan. 1t was five months
before the Senate confirmed his
nomination, Al to 70.
In his long service. Justice
Brandeis constantly enunciated the
rights Of the common man and
vigorously supported social expert
mentation. He voted to sustain
much Of the New Deal legislation
which majority Of the court held
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Roosevelt now is embroiled in
half q dozen Senate controversies
over appointments to Federal posts,
and his designation of Mr.. Brandeis'
successor may show whether he in
tends to listen to senatorial recon-
mendations. The appointment will
be the Presidents fourth to the
court.
Western Judges Mentioned.
Western Senators are certain to
look askance at any appointee who
does not, come from their region.
They were quick to suggest can
didates.
Senators Adams and johnson,
Colorado Democrats, declared their
support of Federal Judge Sam Brat
ton of New Mexico. Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, of Texas, said he
would recommend Federal Circuit
Judge Joseph c. Hutcheson, jr, of
Texas, but added that Judge Brat
ton would be fine"
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa advocated appointment Of
Dean Wiley Rutledge of the Uni
versity of Iowa Law School, who was
reported to have been under con-
sideration when Felix Frankfurter
recently was selected to succeed the
late Justice Cardozo.
Senator Gillette said he hoped to
see the President today or tomorrow
to urge the appointment of Dean
Rutledge. Senator Herring, Demo
crat, of Iowa also recommended the
deans selection.
Another name prominently men
toned was that of Justice Harold
