Earlier Story on Page A-6.)
Es the Associated Press.
A House Ways and Means sub
, committee agreed unanimously to-
day to place before the full COM
mittee a new. modified war powers
bill, granting President Roosevelt
discretionary authority to suspend
tariff laws and regulations only.
The measure, AS now drafted, diff
fers in one important feature from
that previously sent to the full COM
mittee, where it was DELAYED until
the White House pressed for action
this year.
The chief difference was the elm
ination, voted yesterday, of the au-
thority requested by the President
that he be empowered to suspend
immigration regulations and re-
strictions when he found such a step
necessary to prosecution of the war.
The subcommittee" declared
Representative Cooper, Democrat, of
Tennessee, its chairman, after to-
days session, has agreed unan-
imously to report a draft of a bill
for consideration by the full COM
mittee which confers discretionary
authority on the President for the
suspension of laws or regulations,
or parts thereof, with respect to the
movement of property or informa- :
ton into or out of the United States,
or its territories or possessions. and
with respect to the movement of
persons out OF the United
States
Mr.. Cooper said that Chairman
Doughton Of the full committee
probably would call a meeting this
week for consideration of the re-
drafted measure.
Asked for Explanation.
Asked for an explanation OF what
discretionary authority would
cover, Mr. Cooper said that-as in
the previous bill-the President
would be empowered to suspend the
tariff regulations on the recommen-
dationS of the war agencies that
the action was necessary for the
war effort.
Under the terms of the present
draft of the bill, the President would
have power to remove statutory re-
strictions covering the departure of
persons from this country. but would
be unable to suspend any barrier
against aliens admittance.

New Trial Is Ordered
For Roland Lindsey
By Appeals Court
Convictions in Assault
Cases Reversed on
Erroneous Instructions

The District Court conviction of
Roland j. Lindsey, 20. colored, for
criminal assault on a white girl and
assault with intent to kill her male
companion in July. 194l, was re-
versed this afternoon by the Dis
trict Court of Appeals, and a new
trial ordered.
Lindsey was scheduled to be cleo
trocuted at the District Jail on jan
uary %. The appellate court held
that both convictions should be re-
versed because OF "the denial of the
appellants right Of cross-examina
ton. and because of erroneous in
structions."
Associate Justice Harold M. Ste
phens, who wrote the ma jority
opinion, suggested the court certify
to the Supreme Court the question
raised by Lindsay's attorneys as to
The constitutionality of the District
OF Columbia Codes, involving the
right of jury to recommend a
death penalty in a criminal assault
The jurist held the courts in
struction to the jury on the intent
to kill charge was ''out of balance
lnaSmuch as there has been nc
specific written request by the ap.
pellant for an instruction on self
defense and there was no argument
to the jury on that subject"
Associate Justice Wiley Rut-
ledge, who concurred with Justice
Stephens, stated that the crucial
issue was Lindsey's sanity. Govern
ment witnesses who testified to the
defendants sanity based their rea
soning, he wrote. that appellant
was lying or malingering.
Associate Justice Henry w Edeer-
ton dissented from the majority
opinion. Lindsey was convicted by
District Court jury in October last
year.

McCarran Says Life
Is Threatened Because
OF Stand on Silver
Senate Group Told of
Letter Turned Over to
Him by Secret Service
Ey the Associated Press.

fy the Associated Press
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada told the Senate Banking
Committee today his life had been
threatened as an aftermath of pub
lished criticism of the so-called
Senate silver bloc.
He testified that the Secret Serv-
Ice recently sent him a copy of a
letter an 'ill-advised person wrote
to President Roosevelt saying ''if
certain events occurred he would
kill me-"
The statement was part of the
background which preceded Senator
McCarran's testimony opposing bill
to direct release of certain Govern
ment-held silver for use in the
manufacture of silverware and 9TH
er consumptive articles.
Senator McCarran testified also
that "the editor of the Saturday
Evening Post" had said some one
should go into meeting of the II
Senators from the silver States and
use lead pipe"
The Nevadan opened his testi-
mony by saying some published re-
ports had branded 'l2 members of
the Senate as traitors"
Chairman Wagner replied that
the committee didn't pay any at
tention to reports like that"
Senator McCarran earlier an
nounced that silver State Senators
decided at an executive meeting
Yesterday to take appropriate ac-
ton" against authors and publishers
of recent magazine articles critical
of the Senate silver bloc.
Senator McCarran told reporters
he could not disclose the nature of
the appropriate action, but asserted
it would be in retaliation for what
the group believed was "a most
dastardly assault without reason or
provocation against the lives and
regulations of the Senators named
in the articles"
AS official spokesman for the sill
yer State Senators, Senator Nc
Carran asserted the group resolved
that recent articles in the Readers
Digest and the Saturday Evening
Post conveyed false and unfounded
statements" regarding the attitude
Of Senators interested in maintain
ing the integrity Of the monetary
system"

Mr.. Brier, appearing for Parke-
Davis, complained of duplication in
the information sought and declared
We must have some relief from
the multiplicity of questionnaires -
Accountants simply are not avail
able to dig out all the information
asked, he said, citing a 80 pei cent
turnover in his firms cost-account-
ing department In the past year.
MI. Feldman of Whites Labora-
tories said the Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Census Bureau and the
Army Navy Munitions Board had
sent him overlapping queries on fish
oils from which vitamin products
are made. Chairman Byrd said one
of the questionnaires would be left
out Of the committee record. be
cause it's 4 feet long and would take
up too much space
Mr.. Forman testified that con-
struction firms were subject to filing
At different Government reports,
and estimated that due to filling out
Government reports contractors
total costs were increased by 10 per
cent.
Calls for Another Report.
AS soon as we substitute a cap
for a cork" he declared, "the OPA
says that constitutes new product
and another report must be filed :"
Much of the detailed information
sought by the Government from
business and the individual citizen,
Senator Vandenberg said, is impos-
sible 10 furnish. The flood of ques-
tionnaireS, he added. strikes posi-
tive terror to the hearts of citizens
who wish to be totally loyal yet who
find their loyalties channeled into
maddenlng inquisition.
Something must be done about
it, he declared.
Senator Vandenberg expressed the
hope the committee would find out
who is responsible for this pattern
OF needlessly intimate inquisition
which entirely negates the idea of
voluntary cooperation in the war
effort and seems to proceed on the
theory that the American people will
behave only when they are laced
into Straitjackets.
Cites Classic Example"
He also urged the committee to
run down" some of the more dev-
astating questionnaires" and find
out what happens when the infor-
nation reaches Washington. He
said it must take thousands of high
ly skilled technicians to digest the
reports or else they 60 into sterile
files"
Citing as classic example" of
the burden placed on businessmen,
Senator Vandenberg said he had
been told of case which took a
firm nine months at cost of S55 900
to answer Government question:
naires. He said he also had been
told that farmer in Michigan had
to fill out fourpage report before
he could buy pair of boots.

A. They generally fireproof these
things. l don't audit these things
I'm just giving supposition"
G. Who would know regarding
the fame proofing?"
The witness answered that he
wasn't sure exactly, but that a Mr..
Reuben Bodenhorn had designed the
decorations and given them out to
various persons. He said he would
try to reach Mr. Bodenhorn.

PARACHUTE TRAINING

The U. 8. Army Is now accepting
volunteers directly from civilian
life for training as parachutists,
M. Sgt. U. l.. Kessler, Baltimore
said today. The age limits for en-
listment for parachute training have
been set at Is and 80. Physical re-
quirements include good vision
sound physique and weight under
1876 pounds.
In enlarging its reservoir Of train.
ed parachutists who undoubtedly
will receive some of the most dar-
ing assignments of the war, the
Army is drawing volunteers from
among those who already are in
the Army as well as existing civil
ians especially for parachute train
ing, he said.
Civilians who enlist for parachute
training will undergo the regular
basic training period given new SOL
diers, and thereafter will be sent
to Fort Benning, Georgia, where
parachute troops are trained.

HONEY PINCH HITS
FOR SUGAR

With rationing of sugar, honey as
sumes an increasingly important
place in the daily diet, the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture points out.
Whether we eat 1t directly as sub
|stitute for table sugar, or uncon-
sciously in a prepared food, we'll
probably be using a good deal more
honey.
Honey can't be substituted for
sugar in recipes, ounce for ounce,
because of the difference in con-
sistency and sweetening properties.
However, home economists are
working out new recipes--in addition
to the many now in existence--to
utilize honey for sweetening.
Only about half of the honey crop
in this coutry goes to the table as
honey. The other half is used in
less obvious ways. Many food indus
tries depend on honey, the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service points out,
as well as many other industries.
High among the honey-users are
the bakers who incorporate it in
bread, rolls, cookies, and many
specialties, using in all about a
third of the honey crop each year.
One of the newer ideas which has
enlarged the outlet for this product
is combining honey with breakfast
cereals, for sweetening and favor
ing.
Millions of candy bars contain
honey; it sweetens and favors ice
cream; soft drink manufacturers are
now interested in honey possibili-
ties. One of the newest outlets is the
beauty parlor where it has been used
for rejuvenating jaded compilations.
Honey also is used for curing meats,
curing pipes, processing tobacco, as
an ingredient Of cough and cold
remedies, and in various hand To-
tons and face creams.

MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE

While you are getting your house
in order for blackOut--trial or
otherwise--"put things that people
are likely to trip over, out of the
way, DR.. r. H. Riley, Director Of
the State Department of Health,
places first on the list of things to
be done to prevent home accidents.
Here are some other specific
suggestions:
AS safety measure, repair loose
boards, broken steps or stairrails, If
there happen to be any in your
house. Don't wait for blackout
to do this.
Don't leave mops, buckets, scrub
bling rags, dust brushes or brooms,
on stairways, or in the halls, where
people are likely to fall over them
Pick up the children's toys and
books from off the floor.
See that extension cords on lamps
or other electrical equipment are
firmly fastened to the wall or base
board and not left where people can
fall over them.
Put smokers stands, bridge
tables, chairs and small stools where
they can't be tripped over. Arrange
the other furniture of the room you
plan to stay in, so that you can move
about easily.
Don't polish floors to excess. See
that rugs, large and small are tack
ed down firmly or are held in place
SO that they are not a source OF
danger.
Be sure your fash light is in good
working order, and is where you can
put your hands on it If you need it
You may have need for your first
aid kit. Keep 1t where you can get
to it without any trouble. See that
you have the necessary emergency
supplies, clearly marked and easily
handled.

MARYLAND's OLDEST JERSEY
HERD DISPERSED

The Hampton Farms Jersey herd,
Towson, Maryland. owned by John
Ridgley Of H. was dispersed
March 7th. Established In the early
7O's, Mr.. Ridgley's grandfather reg
istered No. In the first Jersey Herd
Register and appears from all in
formation available to be the first
In Maryland. Because of Shortage
of labor and his desire to retire
from the business, he is offering SIS
head of animals, including 80 cows,
20 heifers and herd bulls. One of
the bulls to be offered was purchas-
ed from McDonogh School in 1910,
after completing successful season
In the show ring as Junior Yearl-
ing.
All the animals In milk will be
sold with d. H. I. A. Records which
have been made since the herd was
placed on test two years ago. The
present average Of all cows in milk
Is approximately $50 pounds Of but
terfat, which was made under Or
binary farm conditions. As mat
ter of fact, the cows at Hampton
Farms are not fed silage or do they
have drinking cups In the barns.
The only roughage fed is that which
is raised on the farm in the form of
hay and corn fodder.
Although the Ridgley herd has
not been continued on official pro-
duction test or extensively exhibited
at fairs, the quality of the animals
has been kept on high plane by
the use of good herd sires. Mary
land Jersey breeders have indicated
a great deal of interest in the dis
persal and many of the animals Of
fered should find new owners within
the state.
