French AvO,v Debt
To Andre Maginot
Man Who Planned Defense
Line National Hero

PARASITIC European war al
ready has supplied the French with
a new national hero-huge, imping,
rough-spoken Andre Maginot, who
died seven years ago from eating
tainted oysters.
For it was Sergeant" Maginot,
6-foot 3-inch survivor of Verdun, who
conceived what generally is believed
to be the strongest line of fortifica-
tons in the world-the line that pro-
tects Frances eastern frontiers.
M. Maginot planned the line in the
tradition of Sebastian lie Prestre de
Vauban, Seventeenth century mar
shall of France and renowned mill
tary engineer whose practice it was
to retain what was good of old meth
DDS and to supplement it with i'm
provements.
Frances most skilled technicians,
working under NJ Magnets inspi-
ration, spent 10 years and between
$40, 900, 900 and $500, 00O, 900 in build
ing the line.
M. Maginot was born in Lorraine
in 1877. He entered politics at an
early age and became under-secre-
tary of state for war in 1918. When
the World war started he resigned,
despite the appeal of Aristide
BRAND, and joined the army as a
private.
In two years he rose to the rank
of sergeant, title that stuck for
the rest of his life. A serious leg
wound suffered at Verdun left him
with a pronounced limp and his ex-
periences as non-commissioned Of
ficer endowed him with flair for
picturesque language.
It was not until 1929 that the gov
eminent decided to undertake the
building of the defense line that M.
Maginot proposed. 1t was his great
est pride that the line was not a
uniform stretch of standardized and
identical forts, but rather a scien-
tific composition of great variety
of forts.

Motion for MistriaI
In Ewing Traffic
Case Denied
Utuh Democratic Leader
On Trial on Charge
Of Drunk Driving

Motion for q mistrial was over
ruled in Police Court today in the
case of Orman w. Ewing, former
Democratic national committeeman
for Utah, who went on trial yeSter-
day on a charge of driving while
drunk. The trial had been continued
10 times.
Attorney Lowell Ewing, son of the
defendant, testified today he believed
the arrest of his father was due to
Q desire of police to force his father
10 pay Sc for damages to the auto
mobile of William S. Rau, chauffeur
for Justice George Sutherland, re-
tired member of the Supreme Court.
The elder Mr.. Ewing testified yes
terday the chauffeur wanted this
amount for damages, following a
collision between his car and one
operated by Mr.. Rau on the night of
November %, 1899. He added the
police said they would arrest him
unless he paid this sum.
Says He Got Blow on Head.
The defendant told the court his
"shaky kneed" condition following
the accident, which occurred in the
900 block of Massachusetts avenue
NV, was due to blow on the
head he received, he said, from Mr..
Rau.
Mr.. Ewing's wife and daughter
testified he had a lump on his head
after the accident.
Lowell Ewing testified his father
seemed normal" following his arrest,
except for the lump on his head.
One of the 10 continuances in the
case was automatic when Mr.. Ewing
pleaded not guilty November "a,
1899, and asked for a jury trial. Three
Of the others, the court records show,
were in behalf of the court itself,
one was on request Of the proSecu-
tion and four on request of defense
counsel. Another postponement was
recorded, but not listed technically
- continuance.
Refused to Plead Guilty.
The motion for mistrial was made
late yesterday after Mr.. Ewing had
QcCldItu UIlc III ldl lldu OCCll VIII
tinued over a year and that he had
refused to accept a nolle PROSE- and
plead guilty to lesser offense."
During argument regarding the
latter, Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman had asked, Mr..
Ewing, do you deny you asked me
to nolle posse the whole thing?"
In the argument, Defense At
torney James F. Reilly, in turn, asked
Mr.. Norman if he had not talked of
the case with him.
Last night Mr.. Reilly said he
had made the motion for mistrial
because it was brought out that
there had been a number of con-
tinuances and because of indications
before the jury of negotiations for
the prosecution to accept a plea to
q lesser offense."
Former Police Court Judge Isaac
r. Hit was one of several char
acter witnesses called yesterday to
testify in Mr.. Ewing's behalf.
