Advisory Committee
Aids D. T.. Defense
Savings Program
Chairman Rust Lists
Objectives in Sale Of
Bonds and Stamps

H. L. Rust, jr., chairman Of the
District of Columbia Defense Saw
ings Committee, last night an
nounced the recent appointment
Of members Of his Advisory Com
mittee.
They are: Robert V. Fleming,
president and chairman Of the
board. Riggs National Bank; Eu-
gene Meyer. owner and publisher.
The Washington Post; Merle
Thorpe. editor, Nations Business,
and Lloyd B. Wilson, president,
Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co.
Three main objectives were out
lined by Mr.. Rust for the local
defense savings programme stimu-
late the purchase of bonds and
stamps: to make those securities as
conveniently available to the public
as possible, and to urge the adoption
OF systematic purchasing programs
by individuals.
The committee, Mr.. Rust said,
has adopted as its three-fold theme:
The demonstration of patriotism,
the curbing of inf1ationary tenden-
cies, and the promotion Of thrift"
Expressing appreciation for the
services Of his advisory committee,
Mr.. Rust said:
When I was invited to become
chairman Of the District of Colum-
bia Defense Savings Committee,
I accepted with the provision that
I could secure the counsel and as
sistance Of a few prominent citi-
zens. The four gentlemen I ap-
preached readily offered their ex-
perience and judgement. So VAL
liable were their suggestions and
so keen their interest that urged
them to act as an advisory COM
mittee to the chairman.
Since the very beginning of the
District defense savings program,
the advisory committee has met
frequently and followed with live
interest the progress of the Or
ganization. They have been avail
able at all times to the committee
chairman, who, with the division
chairman, is most appreciative Of
their outstanding assistance"

After eight hours work and by
dint of driving over nearly 100 miles
of Prince Georges County roads, a
reporter for The Star last night
was the proud possessor of an in
spection sticker that will enable him
to get his 1912 license tags and op-
crate his car on Maryland highways
all next year.
Excuses and disappointment he
had a-plenty after visiting nine in
spection stations and hearing at one,
Haven't any time to fool with you
today!" at another, What do you
think we run here, an inspection
station?" and at third, Haven't
any stickers, mister, we're fresh
out" After that it was merely more
of the same or combination OF
all three explanations, when any
was offered at all.
At none of the stations he Wis
tied, at Halls Station, Capitol
Heights, Seat Pleasant, and Upper
Marlboro, was there any line. The
reporter who lives in nearby Mary
land, would have been glad to wait,
an hour, two hours. if need be, If
he could Just get his car inspected.
With brutal frankness, he was ad-
vised his cause was hopeless at each
of the nine stations and to try some
where else.

Maryland Inspection Sticker

hair disheveled and pulse pounding,
the frustrated reporter considered
what to do next. No one would in
spect his car. Should he telegraph
Motor Vehicle Commissioner w. Lee
Elgin? Should he seek an injunc-
ton demanding that somebody show
cause why he should not drive his
car without a sticker? Maybe he
ought to write letter to an editor.
He decided against that in favor of
trying once more. Taking a firm
grip on himself and his temper, he
drove back to a station where he
already had been turned down once
earlier in the day and demanded
to see the proprietor.
Il am a reporter from The Star"
he announced after he had intro
duced himself, "and want to know
why I can't get my car inspected.
I warn you I intend to quote every.
thing you say"
Come right this way, Mr.. Re-
porter, I'm sure there must have
been some mistake" the proprietor
replied briskly. I'll see to your in
spection myself"
For those motorists who may be
in the same fix as our intrepid re-
porter, even though the deadline
for getting stickers is not until De-
cember Is, the suggestion Is passed
along for what 1t may be worth.

Federal Judge M. M. Joyce COM
mented at length on the question
of free speech-an issue which has
been raised by the defense fire.
quently during the trial. The case
went to the jury this noon.
Issue Of Free Speech.
Judge Joyce asserted that free
dom of speech. assembly and press
was a fundamental right and "a
rather wide one permitting people
to say foolish as we'll as sensible
things" He added, however, that
the Constitution did not confer an
absolute right to speech without re-
sponsibility and that it did not give
immunity from every possible use
of language.
The court emphasized that the
Government must have proved, be-
yond any reasonable doubt, that
the defendants actually were en-
gagged in conspiracy to bring about
armed revolt before guilty verdict
can be brought in.
Right to Visit TrOtzky.
The jurors also were told the de-
PENDANTS had right to visit the
late Leon Trotzky, eXiled revolu-
zionist in Mexico, if they wished,
and that the organization of a labor
union guard to protect union prop
erty was, in and of itself. not illegal
Judge Joyce stressed, nevertheless,
that mo one has the right to take
the law into his own hands. Part
Of the Governments testimony dealt
with a visit of several of the de-
PENDANTS to Trotzky and formation
of union guard.

NEW YORK, Nov 29.-Max Ia
risky. president of the A. F. of l..
United Hatters, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union, denied today charges
contained in a Federal indictment
accusing the union and 16 COM
panies of conspiring to fix prices on
Army field hats purchased by the
War Department.
In addition, Mr.. Zaritsky charged
Iat certain manufacturers have
sought to re-establish sweatshop
conditions in the hat industry" The
indictment wSs returned yesterday
at Philadelphia.
These manufacturers have ap-
parently succeeded in enlisting the
support Of some Government off,
cials who have repeatedly shown
their hostility toward labor organi-
cations. who resented the progress
We had made to provide a living
and decent wage for the workers
employed in the cap industry" Mr..
Zaritsky said.
Cites Wage Ruling.
Their resentment is directed
specifically to wage determina-
ton made by the Secretary of Labor
some years ago under the provisions
OF the Walsh -Healev Act. That de-
termination specified that the mini
mum wage for experienced cap MAX
ers shall be 67lo cents per hour.
Some manufacturers and some War
Department officials, considered that
an excessive wage.
In order to evade this REQUIRE
ment made in accordance with
law. some manufacturers were max
ing bids in quantities that would
bring the totel amount of the bid
under $4,000, since the law and
the wage set under it does not
apply to contracts of less than
$4,000.
The flagrancy with which the
law was being evaded is evidenced
by the fact that In some cases man.
ufacturers would set up subsidiaries,
and each of them would arrange
to come within ! cent OF the
$4,000 minimum. We called the
attention of the War Department
to these evasions. but instead of
correcting the situation, they be-
came a party TO them.
Demanded Minimum.
Our international union there
upon informed manufacturers that
as far as the workers are concerned
the 67i2-cent hourly minimum
would have TO be paid on all Gov
ernment work, regardless OF the
subterfuges TO which the manufac-
turers resorted. They resented this.
and instituted the complaints which
constitute the basis of the present
proceeding"
In addition to the A. F. L. union
and the Is firms. the grand jury
indicted 80 officials OF the com
panies. the unions locals in Phila-
delphis, New York, Chicago and st.
