spell reverberations were heard al
the Capitol. o
When 1t was made known that
dummy" guns are often placed In
front-line positions to befuddle the
enemy and divert attention from
actual gun emplacements, the criti-
cism ended. But the wooden guns
and dummy sentinels that guarded
Highway Bridge were removed.
Gen. Lewis served Washington's
defense interests well and efiiciently
during his more than two years OF
duty here, officials said, and there
had been a minimum of trouble
from the thousands of military per-
sonnel constantly on the move In
and out of the city. In recent
months he had conducted a cam
paign to make soldiers conform
more readily to the ordinary "mili-
tary courtesies" and to keep neat
in appearance on the streets.

The tall. soldierly looking com.
mander was q well-known figure at

to don his combat toys again. He ha,
had Army service since 1917 and the

the Legion of Honor.
Both generals are graduates OF
the War College in Washington and
Gen. Lewis also can claim Yale and

Sediiion Defendant
Accused Of Calling
President Criminal
! Witness Soys E. o. Jones
Told Meeting He Hoped
For Real impeachment
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,

: 0X CAk1EN 6NOOAE JONES.
President Roosevelt was described
at meeting by Ellis o. Jones, . de-
fendant In the sedition case, as "the
blackest criminal throughout the
pages Of United States history" the
!, District Court jury has been told.
The testimony was given by Mrs,
Hetty Lee Mclaughlin Of Los Ange-
les, who began her recital late yes-
terday and continued it today. 4
Mrs. Laughlin said she and her
husband, John Ivan Mclaughlin, at
tended IL Los Angeles meetings in
which Jones, Franz K. Ferenz, also
. defendant, and Robert Noble. q
former defendant, took part at vari-
ous times.
AT the first meeting, the witness
said, hold in the Los Angeles audi
torium November "a, 1941, Jones
made the remark amout the Presi-
dent. A mock Impeachment trial
Of the Chief Executive was held at
the meeting, she explained. and
Jones expressed hope that it would
be a dress rehearsal for what really
would happen later. The event. she
said. was sponsored by the Friends
Of Progress. in which Jones and
Noble were associated.
Real Freedom" in Germany.
Asked by Chief Prosecutor o. John
Rogge If Noble had anything to say,
Mrs. Mclaughlin replied:
"Mr. Noble said 1t was myth to
call America the land Of the free,
and we had no freedom. He spoke
Of q woman who had been arrested
for passing out handbills on the
street. He said such thing could
never have happened IN Germany,
where there was real freedom.
Germany, he said, was just about
ideal in regard to the individual.
It had no breadlines, no unemploy-
ment. He said the crushing Of the
international bankers and the Jews
was a wonderful thing"
Noble also told the audience, the
witness said. that he had joined the
Navy In 1917 but had been dismissed
when he realized England was "our
real enemy" and refused to fire a
shot against Germany.
Ben Lindas, attorney for George
Sylvester Viereck. objected to bring
ing In the name of the President,
calling 1t disgusting" and declaring
1t would not be pertinent to any
criminal charge to 60 into the mer-
its of q mock impeachment trial,
and thus any mention of 1t would be
ineffective and prejudicial. Chief
Justice Edward C. Echer overruled
this and many other defense objec-
tions to the line of testimony.
Only Three Opposed impeachment.
Mrs. Mclaughlin said she and her
husband had been asked by Ben
Beery Of the American Legion to
attend the Friends Of Progress meet
ings and they had taken notes on
the speeches and Transcribed them
afterward. She took the stand
armed with her notes and type
written reports.
After the mock impeachment, she
testified, vote was taken in, the
audience and only = three. persons
voted against impeaching the Presi-
dent.
Noble was placed on trial with
the other defendants, who now
number 26, but his case later was
severed on motion of the Govern
ment.

Virginia aAppealsC Cour
To Hear Norris, Poll
Tax Cases in October
Corporation Commission
Issue Hinges on Paying
$35.58 in Back Salary
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press. q
STAUNTON, Va, Sept. 1.-Two
important test cases-onc involving
the eligibility Of Senator Robert o.
Norris, ir, to serve on the State
Corporation Commission. and the
other the validity Of the payment Of
lpoll taxes under the War Voters Act
have been set for hearing at the
October term of the State Supreme
Court Of Appeals.
Senator Norris, who was appointed
by Gov. Darden last week for the
|unexpired term Of the late Judge
Thomas w. Ozlin. filed q petition
flor q writ Of mandamus against
State Controller Henry G. Gilmer.
The proceeding to collect $35. SO in
back salary will serve to test the
question Of whether the Governor
may appoint member Of the Gen.
eral Assembly for the unexpired
term, ending in 1850, or only until
30 days after the convening Of the
next General Assembly.
In the other case, Attorney Gen.
eral A. p. Staples presented a petit
ton for a peremptory writ OF man
damus directing the State controller
and State Treasurer w. Tayloe
Murphy to comply with provisions of
the War Voters Act passed at the
1914 General Assembly.
Forty Days for Briefs, Answers.
In each case, the court granted II
days to the petitioners to file sup.
Elemental brief, and IS days to thu
respondents to file an answer.
Senator Norris, in his petition
stated that he was appointed or
August 30 to the State Corporation
Commission for the unexpired term
OF the late Judge Ozlin, subject to
confirmation by the General Assem-
bly,. He took ONCE August 80 and
contends that there is due him for
the two days he worked in August
after deductions for taxes and other
causes-the sum of $35.58. The
State controller refused to pay this
sum on the grounds that there exists
some variance in the statutes" gov
E1IulB 1llS COUlIulSSlOIl.
f. Questions Appointment.
II am In doubt" Mr.. Gilmer wrote,
"as to the validity of your appoint
ment and do not feel that I should
issue a warrant on the State treas
urer for your salary unless and until
said doubt has been removed by
action of the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals of Virginia"
Senator Norris contends that an
act Of the General Assembly of 1914
cited by the State controller as
grounds for objection, "is unconsti-
tutional and void as being in direct
conflict with section IS of the State
Constitution" The court is asked to
uphold this contention, declare his
appointment valid. and compel the
payment Of the 1858 in August
salary.
