More Frequent Drill
In Afraid Defense
Urged by MiIeham
Asks Longer Tests to
FomiIiorize Workers
With Procedure

More and longer AFRAID tests
were recommended last night by
Chief Air-Raid Warden William j.
Mileham at a hearing before the
Police and Fire Protection Com
mittee of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Association.
Stating that a half hour was
sufficient for his wardens to Or
ganize themselves, Mr.. Mileham
said that other units, such as first
aid, required at least IS minutes
more to swing into action.
He also expressed the opinion that
the tests should come more often
he suggested twice a month-and
be announced for a certain period
Of time. In this way, he said, the
public would be more likely to
recognize the alarm as merely a
drill and make it easier for the
wardens to practice emergency pre-
cautions.
Mr.. Mileham said the new equip
ment received from the National
Office of Civilian Defense left him
very well satisfied"
There is now no particular item
really needed" he said. I'VE have
enough stirrup pumps, about two for
each post. The only item of which
| there is definite shortage is the
gas attack warning device, which
resembles a Halloween clacker."
Although he has as yet received
no official notification of the recent
OCD reorganization, Mr.. Mileham
stated that he did not anticipate
that the warden unit, the largest
one in the District, would be greatly
affected.
There are no glaring faults in
our present setup." he said.
He had one criticism, however,
declaring that there are not enough
meetings between the heads of the

Father Walsh Calls
'GeopoIitics' Old Idea
New Name
Recalls EorIy Americans
Use of Science Now
Employed by Nozis

Declaring the Germans had simply
given a new name, "geopolitics," !"
to an old idea, the Rev. DR.. Edmund
A. Walsh, S. j., vice president of
Georgetown University, said today
that it was merely applied political
geography" which had been used
by many earlier Americans, includ-
ing George Washington, Alexander
Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
Geopolitics, DR.. Walsh told the
American Political Science Asso-
citation at the Commerce Depart
ment Auditorium, is a science which
places "the findings of geography
at the service'of craftsmanship"
DR.. Walsh, professor Of political
science at the university, said JEFF
ferson was 'geopolitician," because
he recognized the Importance of
the mouth of the Mississippi, and
bought an empire called Louisiana"
Seward Also "Geopolitician."
William H Seward, Lincoln S
Secretary of State, was a "geopoli-
tician" because he saw the dangers
of attack and bought Alaska, "in
the face of jeering and sardonic
comment by the whole press of the
United States" the speaker said
The trouble with the German ap-
plication, Father Walsh said, was its
application to the theology of the
Germans. DR.. Walsh said the Ger
mans had disguised geopolitics as
"the instrument of power politics
and brute force uncontrolled by
ethics" They are using it, he said,
in an attempt to use geography for
world domination

bezzlement indictment.
Maximum sentence is five years
and $4,000 or both on each count.
The jury deliberated one hour and
35 minutes before returning the
verdict.
Arbuckle also faces the possibility
Justice Laws may institute contempt
proceedings against him on charges
that he testified falsely during the
trial. Robert C.. Henderson, a key
defense witness, must appear in
court Tuesday to show cause why he
should not be cited for contempt in
connection with his testimony that
he saw Arbuckle turn the money
which Arbuckle was charged with
embezzling over to Edward H. King
assistant manager of the restaurant,
in late September or early October
of 1898.
$1,000 Embezzlement Charged.
Arbuckle was indicted for emhez-
zllng $1,000 in restaurant funds
following an investigation by the
Senate Rules Committee under the
Craftsmanship of Senator Byrd
Democrat, of Virginia.
Assistant United States Attorney
John L. Laskey introduced evidence
In the trial purporting to show that
Arouckle's financial depredations
during the month of September
1888, totalled S1,925.
Henderson testified he saw Ar.
buckle turn the money over to Mr.
KING. Mr.. Laskey then introduced
letters admittedly written by Hen.
derson to Arbuckle from Walkerton
Ontario, indicating that Henderson
was in Canada at, the time he said
ne was In Washington. Unde,
cross ss-examination by Mr.. Laskey
Henderson said the letters "appar.
emily" indicated he was in Canada
at the time.
Following this testimony Justice
Laws instituted contempt proceed
lngs against Henderson. Later the
justice announced Arbuckle NAV
also be asked to show cause why he
should not be cited for contempt
Following the verdict last night
Justice Laws ordered Arbuckle be
brought to court Tuesday for the
contempt hearing involving Hen
derson.
Verdict Received Calmly.
The defendant, tall, bespectacled
and impassive, received the verdict
With the same apparent calm which
had characterized his appearance
on the witness stand.
Arbuckle, who was appointed
manager of the restaurant in 1885
by former Senator Matthew M.
Nicely of West Virginia, called in
four members of the House to testify
as character witnesses. All of them
- Representatives Randolph and
kee of West Virginia, Dies of Texas
and Crosser of Ohio-told the jury
that their observations led them to
believe Arbuckle was a man of hon.
eSty, integrity and fair dealing
Senator Byrd, who succeeded Sena-
tor Neely as chairman of the Rules
Committee, testified as a prosecution
witness.
Mr.. Laskey branded Arbuckle a
"pious perjurer" in closing argu-
ments yesterday. In asking the jury
for a conviction, Mr.. Laskey de-
clared: THE elaborate buildup of
the defense is false"
