Carmen Beach, testifying in her
own defense at her trial on vice
charges today, said Ambassadors
and other diplomats were among
social acquaintance who called at
her apartment in the 1900 block of
Fifteenth street NV. She is &C
cused of violating the Mann Act
by sending a young woman in taxi
cabs to keep dates with men In
Washington hotels.
At the conclusion of her testi-
mony the defense rested and Justice
Matthew F. Mcclure said he would
decide whether to give the case to
the jury tonight after closing argu-
mentS.
Two ambassadors called at the
Beach apartment along with a men,
Der of the staff of the Chinese En-
bassy, she said Neither of the am
bassadorS was Chinese, she said, in
answer to questioning by Bernard
MargoliuS, assistant United States
attorney. He asked if they were
Latin-American ambassadors and
the witness said Yes"
While Mr.. Margolius asked the
young Spanish woman defendant
about the diplomats among her ac-
quaintanceS, he cautioned her
against giving their names.
Earlier in her testimony she men
toned meeting an ambassador in
the cocktail lounges of Washington
hotels when she was in the company
of Dorothy Smiteley, the young
woman who testified against her at
the opening of the trial.
During examination the wit
ness told the Government attorney
she was not going to name any of
the married men among her ac-
ouaintances. She said she might
have sent the Smiteley girl to meet
some of her friends for cocktails in
hotels when she was unable to go,
but she could not remember.
Again, she said, if the Smiteley
girl received any money from the
men it was not in her presence
and without her knowledge. She
herself, she said, received many
presents from men.
On redirect examination her at
torney, Harry Whelan. brought out
that she meant the 100 or more"
presents she had received at the
time of her wedding to a naval petty

BERN. Switzerland, June 24.-The
Foreign Office yesterday instructed
Swiss Ministers in London and Ber-
lin to protest the air attack on

because the planes passed over Swiss

at KummerShausen.
The newspaper Der Bund said
anti-aircraft gunnery practice on
the German side of Lake Constance
continued almost daily and on June
19 wild shells struck Swiss territory.
This is doubtless also dangerous

"Quibbling With Words"
Mr.. MacLeish replied that was a
detail.
1T is very important detail,
Mr.. Graham commented.
That is quibbling with words"
the company attorney said.
IT, said Mr.. Graham, lam stating
a fact"
Il haven't anything further to say
on that" Mr.. MacLeish replied.
The company, as Montgomery
Ward did, contended that the board S
action violates the fundamental
principles of liberty and is in con-
travention of the Constitution of the
United States" Mr.. MacLeish said
employe relations at Warren "are
and have been harmonious.
Il believe" he said, the board is
destroying the very essence of de-
mocracy." He said maintenance of
membership is "the starting phase
leading to the closed shop and leads
to dictatorship. 1t requires the
company to discriminate against
employees in violation of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act. 1t re-
requires the company to give sup
port to a union. 1t requires the
company to discriminate against its
employees if they do not maintain
union membership"
He, said Congress alone may de-
clare national policy; that t>ere was
no evidence to support the WLB
order, and that the board deemed
its own policy sufficient. Mr.. Mac
Leish also contended that the con-
tract ordered by the board Inter
feres with an employees right of self
organization" asserting that the
closed shop proviso of the National
Labor Relations Act is intended to
cover a condition only where there
Is one union embracing all the en-
ployes and the employer agrees to it.
