Senate Subcommittee
Vote on S94,500,o00
Cut Seen Next Week
Fate Of ; Agencies and
Maritime Construction
Program to Come Up

A Senate Appropriations Subcom-
mittee is expected to vote early next
week on the s94,500,000 cut the
House made in the s1,100.O00, 900 in
dependent offices bill. including the
fate of three executive agencies that
were stricken from the bill entirely.
Before recessing yesterday until
Tuesday, the subcommittee heard
arguments on the $75,000,000 reduc-
ton in the construction fund of the
Maritime Commission, the largest
item on the list of House slashes.
S2,140,000 for 3 Agencies.
The money involved in the elimi-
nation of the National Resources
Planning Board, the Office of Gov
ernment Reports and the Council
for Personnel Management is only
$2,140,000. The first two were
stricken out by the House commit

on a similar point of order on the
floor of the House.

Wheeler Is Credited
With UNIV. BACKING
For Presidency
Formal Nod Withheld,
But Thunderous AccIoim
Given When He Speaks
By the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 27.-Po-
litical observers today generally
credited Senator Wheeler, Montana
Democrat, with having the 100000
United Mine Workers of America
back of him for the presidential
nomination.
Senator Wheeler's unannounced
candidacy is understood to depend
on whether President Roosevelt de-
cides to forego third-term bid.
John L. Lewis, president Of the
U. M. w. and the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, withheld the
formal nod when Senator Wheeler
spoke to the u M. w. jubilee con-
vention yesterday, but the 2,400
delegates cheered the Montanan un-
til the Columbus Armory echoed.
In a setting reminiscent of po-
litical convention, miners bands and
officials led Senator Wheeler to the
platform for thunderous ovation.
Mr.. Lewis introduced his as IAN
eminent statesman and the friend OF
the American laborer and the COM
mon man and woman"
After Senator Wheeler told the
delegates There are no greater la
Dor leaders in the United States than
those who have led the miners to
victory" the U. NJ w. president
smilingly pointed to the cheering
miners and said to Senator Wheeler:
This attests the confidence we
have in you as statesman and an
American"
Some observers saw Senator
Wheeler's reception as virtual in
dorsement, although formal support
probably will not be forthcoming
Immediately in difference to Mr..
Lewis expressed wish earlier that
the convention refrain from back
ing any one at this time. Mr.. Lewis
said previously that a Roosevelt
nomination would result in his Gig
nominous defeat"
In his speech Senator Wheeler
also reached out to agriculture and
industry, saying that leaders of
those groups and of labor should
be called by the national admins
tration to conference for solving
what he termed Americas No.
problem"-unemployment.
Earlier Senator Wheeler, who has
announced for reelection to the
Senate, told newspapermen that Mr..
Roosevelt should announce his
third-term intentions in the inter-
ests of party harmony, adding he
would support Mr.. Roosevelt if he
were nominated.
The convention, in weekend re-
cess, will be resumed Monday with
an address by Gen. Hugh johnson,
former N. r. A. administrator and
current critic Of preddent Roosevelt.

Counsel for Hines
Draws Appeal Plans
In Numbers Case
Ousted Magistrate
Can Take Case No
Higher Under Law
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Counsel
for James j. Hines drew new plans
today to save the former Tammany
district leader from serving a 4-to-8
year prison sentence as the political
protector of the Dutch Schultz pol
icy racket mob.
Hines conviction by a jury in
General Sessions Court last Febru-
ary Is was affirmed yesterday by
the Appellate Division of the State
Supreme Court, but Attorney Mar
tin w. Littleton announced he would
ask the Court of Appeals. highest
in the State, to review the case
The court, however, does not have
to review it and frequently rejects
appeals when the decision in the
lower court was unanimous, as it
was in this instance.
Capshaw Has No Appeal.
For another man involved in the
case-Hulon Capshaw, former city
magistrate, who was ordered re-
moved by the Appellate Division
there was no appeal under the law.
Capshaw, the court decided, had
yielded to outside influences in two
policy cases in which Hines alleg-
edly was interested.
Hines was out of town when the
courts decision was announced. He
has been free in $35 900 bail.
In the first appeal the defense con-
tended the policy game was a mis-
demeanor. but the court held the
evidence tended to show Hines con-
tribution to the cri. linal purpose
was the protection from prosecution
and punishment for crime commit
ted and to be committed pursuant
thereto
Held Unfit to Continue"
Capshaw, under suspension since
the Hines trial, was ousted with the
opinion of the division that "his
conduct has demonstrated his un-
fitness to continue in the Office of
city magistrate"
Presiding Justice Francis Martin
and Associates Alfred H. Townley
and Edward S. Dore found the evi-
dence sustained charges that Cap
shaw discharged two policy cases
and gave misleading testimony at
Hines trial.
Justices Irwin Untermyer and
James O'Malley found only the OBJ
structing justice charge sufficiently
substatniated.
The charges were framed by
Thomas D. Thacher, former solicitor
general of the United States, named
as referee to investigate Cap
shaw's conduct after Jacob G.
Schurman, jr.. then chief city magis-
trate, initiated the proceedings.

Bv WILLIAM WHITE,

SOMEWHERE IN FINLAND
The cars pull up with a squeak and
the correspondents get out. They
are Webb Miller for the United
Press, Lynn Heinzerling for the
Associated Press and your humble
servant-the only three Americans
on this tour-plus the dapper young
Englishman from Reuters, the tall,
melancholy German who represents
the German News Bureau; party
of agency men with most of the
wielders of purple metaphors ex-
cluded.
The air is so-cold it is sweet in the
lungs. To the left spreads a broad
valley. We are in front of an old
country manor house built when
Car Alexander II was Grand Duke
of Finland. 1t is now headquarters
for a division of the army of the
Finnish Republic, at war with the
U. S. S. R.
The Finnish divisional officers
suggest we might like to see the
craters of some bombs dropped yes
terday; aimed at division head
quarters. but which exploded in a
nearby wood. We start across the
clearing when there is the low
moan-an anguished mastif howl
rising to woman's scream of fear
of the air-raid siren at the manor
house.
A Hunt for Cover.
We run ahead to the shelter of
the wood. There we see them-a
squadron of Russian bombers-
1000 meters high, the Finnish officer
guesses-this is between 5000 and
1000 feet-faint black dots in the
sky moving steadily toward us.
In a minute we hear their roar.
Where do we take cover? A direct
hit will cave in any cellar, no mat
ter how deep, so any little low place
in the ground will do; just deep
enough to hide your body from the
force of nearby explosion. I sight
one a few yards away. But the
most important thing is to stay out
of sight so that half dozen moving
men will not be spotted from the
air. This many, so close together,
might be worth one Russian bomb
or dive and one belt of machine
gun bullets.
We get under the tall spruce
trees, their little branches bent
down by snow, and watch from
there, looking upward through the
spear tips of the spruces.
From far above comes the roar
high pitched, like ribbon or silk
being continuously torn. The planes
three, no, five; no, three more
make eight; no, couple off to the
left make ten. They seem to hang
in the sky, they are so high. Only
in comparison with the spear
