Homicide Prosecution
OF Hit-Run Driver
Is No|Ie Pressed
Defendant Pleads Guilty
To Lesser Charge in
Deoth Of Navy Officer
Earlier Story on Page ALL

In an unusual action, the Gov
ernment today nolle pressed a negli-
gent homicide charge in the midst
of the trial and accepted the de-
fendant's plea of guilty to a hit
and-run charge that also was being
heard by the Municipal Court jury.
The action of the United States
Attorneys Office came in the case
of Gordon M. Arion, A, Of 233 Up
shur street NV, charged in connec-
ton with the death of 1t. Comdr
Francis P. Quigley, A, U. s. NJ, who
was struck by a hit-run auto at
1ngraham and North Capitol
streets March 81.
Arion was arrested the follow
ing day, after police had matched
pieces Of broken glass found at, the
scene with pieces of broken head
light lens that remained on his
auto.
No Witnesses Found. :,
Assistant United States Attorney
John L. Ingoldsby, handling the
negligent homicide case, said it was
dropped and the plea Of guilty ac-
cepted on the hit-run charge be-
cause it was felt that the homi-
eide case was weak. There were
no witnesses to the accident
and therefore it was difficult to es-
tablish recklessness, carelessness or
negligence at the time Of impact,
he said.
Continuing in his explanation, Mr.
1ngoldsby pointed out that should
both the negligent and hit-run case
have gone to the jury. verdicts of
innocent may have been returned in
both cases.
Mr.. Ingoldsby nolle pressed the
case just before the Government
was about to wind up its evidence.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Fred ]. Eisenhower handled the hit
run case for the District govern
ment. Judge Nathan Margold re-
ferred the case to the probation
officer for investigation before i'm

warning that the increased cost
OF living and of operating expenses
already had raised the estimated
budget Of the 120 agencies of the
Community War Fund beyond the
total OF the funds goal of $4,141 900,
Floyd D. Akers, campaign chairman,
today declared an increased effort
would be necessary to carry total
contributions over the top.
This new estimate, Mr.. Akers told
luncheon meeting of the Advanced
Gifts Unit at the Willard Hotel,
was based on reports from Herbert
L. Willett of the Community Chest
and War Fund.
Asked about the problem after
the meeting, Mr.. Willett said the
goal itself could not be changed
from its figure of $4,141 900, but he
said that, in order to meet the needs
OF all the agencies, it would be
necessary to raise considerably more
than the goal. Mr.. Akers said op-
Grafton cost for all agencies was
higher now than it was a year ago
and three months ago and would be
still higher in December.
No figures were made public as
result Of the division report, but Mr..
Akers emphasized the trend of the
average gift was downward from the
first report luncheon last week. He
warned that still greater effort
would be necessary by all concerned
to meet the needs.
Principal speaker of the day was
Josef Meier, Christus of the Pas
sion Play, now running at Consti-

Lewis-bittner Dispute
Breaks Out Anew
Al UNIV Session
Former District II Head
Wires Convention Own
Version Of Resignation
Earlier Story on Page A-5.)
Py the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 13.-The dis
pute between John L. Lewis and
Van A. Bittner of the United Steel
Workers of America broke out anew
today at the United Mine Workers
convention.
Mr.. Lewis, UNIV president, inter-
rupted consideration of resolutions
to read a telegram in which Mr.
Bittner, former president of UNIV
District II, challenged Mr.. Lewis
version of how he left the UNIV.
Mr.. Bittner contended that Mr.
Lewis did not ask him to resign, but
agreed that he would be of greater
service to labor with the USWA.
This raises a question of veracity.' -
said Mr.. Lewis. He takes exception
to what said, not to the record of
his shortcomings in office. I can
look any man in the race and not
worry about having told lie.
Decision for Bittner.
"Mr. Bittner has a decision to
make in the future. He is obliged
as a member of this union to de-
eide whether to carry out the in
structions of this convention or the
organization where he is now en-
ployed He is engaged with the
United Steel Workers in a campaign
against the UNIV, preaching dis
ruption and division. He once raised
his right hand and promised to
abide by the laws of this union.
When he makes his decision that
may throw some light on the We
racity of Mr.. Bittner or Mr.. Lewis"
The convention accepted a COM
mittee report which indorsed the
principle of Morrisdale, Pa. local
proposal, urging introduction of a
congressional bill to establish free
educational institutions for all.
Powers Granted District 50.
Secretary Treasurer Thomas Ken
nedy said the UNIV was seeking to
have facilities of unsupported uni
versities extended.
Several colored delegates spoke in
support of the resolution, declaring
that in many instances Negroes
were denied educational opportuni-
ties.
Earlier the convention granted
full organizational powers to Dis
trict so, move construed in some
quarters as laying the groundwork
for Mr.. Lewis when, after the war,
he may seek to organize fields far
from coal mines and untouched by
unionism.

Mr.. La Guardia declared there

the Mayor declared.

Chairman Murray opened the
hearings with a contention that
production officials were responsible
for the absence of a second front

Episcopal Bishops Urge
Church 10 Be Aggressive
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. Ga
stalwart stand against defeatism or
defensive position" because of the
war was adopted by the House Of
Bishops of the Episcopal Church at
its closing session here yesterday.
In a statement to the church,
which took the place Of the custom
ary pastoral letter, the House called
for an aggressive attitude by the
church and continuance of its ef-
forts rather than any curtailment
due to the war.
I'VE must win this war as Chris
tians," said the statement presented
by Presiding Bishop Henry St.
George Tucker. Victory in the war
is a prerequisite for winning the
peace, but something more than .
physical triumph is needed to make
the ensuing peace an opportunity
for producing a better world :"
The bishops warned that victory
might save democracy from sudden
death, but it might also leave 1t the
victim of deadly moral poison"
IF this happens, we can only ex-
pect in the future another even
more terrible crisis than the pres
ent."

American Associates
Sever Connections
With Wenner-Gren
Other Finunciers Asked
To Replace His CopitoI
In Mexican Project
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. GA group
of United States businessmen asso-
ciated with Axel Wenner- -Gren in a
$10O,OOO,OOO investment project in
Mexico reported yesterday its sever
ance of connections with the wealthy
Swedish industrialist since he was
blacklisted by the United States
State Department for trading to the
benefit of Axis powers.
American flnanciers already have
been approached to replace the cap
ital with which Mr.. Wenner-Gren
was underwriting highway. railroad
and industrial construction in stra-
tegic regions of Mexico, an inf1uen-
tial leader Of the group said.
No Choice But Break.
Friends of Wenner-Gren said they
still regarded the blacklisting as an
injustice and that efforts are under
way in Washington to have him re-
instated, but added that his Amer
ican business associates had no
choice but to break their relation
ship with him.
An almost legendary figure in in
ternational finance, Wenner-Gren
is known as friend of the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor and of promi-
nent German dignitaries, including
Field Marshal Hermann Goering, as
the owner of a palatial yacht, the
Southern Cross, and as the reputed
possessor of enormous wealth gained
from public utilities.
The industrialist refused to COM
ment on the decision of the British
Bahamas Islands, where he resided
before coming to Mexico. to join the
United States in blacklisting him.
Members of his household, however,
described him as terribly hurt" by
the Bahamas ban.
Will Stay in Mexico City.
His present plans, they said, are
to remain in Mexico City, where he
has just rented a luxurious home
on this capitals most fashionable
avenue. His wife, a native of the
United States, is with him here.
There was no indication as to
what attitude the Mexican govern
ment would adopt toward his busi-
ness activities. He has conferred
frequently in the past on public
works projects with Communications
Minister Gen. Maximino Avila Ca
macho, brother of Mexico's Presi-
dent.
