FINANCE FLASHES
By Cpl Ira Askin

I Air Forces has affected Sm1tty quite bit (his only prior service was tour of duty with Western Union). He has bluntly announced that he is looking for gal like P-47-built for speed, durability, and combat.
 And that brings to mind cps often heard complaint: "The only thing the other guys in this outfit think about is girls"
 The only way this column has ever been interesting has been when contributing reporters" have lent a helping hand in supplying us with information. One of the fel- lows now claims to have several choice tidbits, but is afraid to pass them on for fear that some of his doings may come to light. And we never thought that Price Barnes would have anything about him. self that might be better kept out of print. We never took quite seri- ousiy the stories of his refusals to join his buddies at the Armed Forces Club in ping-pong game simply because an attractive young lady was in need of help with her jig saw puzzle. Nor did we credit the stories of his clandestine TO- nance with the Boston hostess. The boys do say, trough, that she did stand him up on his final trip, so maybe there was little more to it than hope.
 Not knowing much about photo graphy, we can't say great deal about it, but Clark Garner and Sol Brownstein made an officious i'm press:nn on us with their handling of recent photographing assign ment. The scene was the Finance dayroom, normally, comfortably. accommodating about ten persons The characters were two posing cribbage players and the two up- and coming photographers. By the time they had moved in their tri- pod, camera, exposure meters, light meters, etc., etc., the place was completely crowded. It only took them the duration of three cigar cites (King size) to set up their equipment, and half a second to ex- pose the film. Hats off to this cap able twosome.
 Two weeks ago we tried a little feature within our report, and it's reception has been favorable. So, again, we proudly present ths "Pfc. of the Week."
 This week we have chosen to honor that outstanding sportsman, athlete, wit, and financial wizard, Charlie Daddy" Holmes. In civil ian life, he was one of those "no endorses, no guarantors-your boss needn't know-and when you pay us back we let your Mother out of the dungeon" guys. It seems at present, however, that his days ot aff1uence have been suspended for the duration and six. In it's stead he carries his wealth of quips and ready wit and seems to make out well enough. He earned himself tha nickname Daddy" while attending a USO dance in Indianapolis, and it has been with him ever since, his youthful appearance and athletic prowess notwithstanding.
 Daddy" Holmes seems to find great amusement in the game of red dog, and it is his love of that game that has given rise to his re- putation for great perseverance. It happens that gambling blood is sorely lacking in his present outfit but despite the regular refusals from his buddies to accept his in vitations to the game, Charlie nev- CT fails to try to promote fling with Dame Luck in the form of red dog every pay day night. But if you are interested in seeing a rare

member of the House Naval Affairs
Committee.
Mr.. Sasscer said the new labora-
tory would be located on Old Blad-
ensburg road, on the western side of
the Northwest Branch of the Ana
costa River, and was chosen from
several suggested locations in the
District area. The site has been ap-
proved by the Secretary of the Navy
and the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee.
The laboratory will be constructed
to relieve congestion at the Naval
Gun Factory at Anacostia, and will

deceived" into believing that he had
talked with Sanders on the date in
question.
Laughlin was further charged with
having introduced at the trial a
FLORIDA State Prison visitors regis
ter containing forged entry which,
according to the grand jury, was
known by Laughlin to have been
forged and tending to prove that
George Thompson had visited the
institution September 25.
The second count in the indict-
ment alleges that Laughlin, between
January IL and February 5, 1912,
while motion for new trial for
Sanders and William Leo Keefe, a
co-defendant, was pending, "unlaw-
fully and knowingly, did corruptly
endeavor to influence and obstruct
and impede the course of justice"
by filing eight ar1idavitS reporting
the statement that Sanders had Wis
tied the Florida penitentiary Sep
tember 25. 194l. 1t also was charged
that on three occasions he made |
statements and arguments "purport-
ing to be IN support Of the truth of
the above statement"
The Indictment includes the fol-
lowing statement:
1t was the purpose. intent and
endeaVor of James j. Laughlin, by
filing the aforesaid affidavit, cor
ruptly to mislead and deceive the
Hon. Calvin Chestnut Ctrial jurist
in the United States District Court
into believing that Hilliard Sanders
was at the Florida State prison on
the 25th day of September, 1941,
and therefore could not have COM
mltted the offenSeS of which he
had been found guilty"
Mr.. Laughlin, informed of the
Indictment by a neWspaperman just
aS the sedition trial adjourned to-
day for the luncheon recess, said
he had not heard about it. His
ONLY comment was
We'll, this thing which has been
whispered around for a long time
has come into the open at last
Well have our day in court"
He hurried out of the courtroom
to obtain more information about
the indictment. AS he left the
courtroom he said he did not know
what effect it would have on his
remaining as counsel for two de-
PENDANTS in the sedition case, Ed
ward J. Smythe and Robert Noble,

clients while they were prisoners ir
the District Jail.
Jordan testified that while he was
a prisoner in the jail, one of the
complaining witnesses against
Laughlin had told him that he had
been offered immunity to prosecu-
ton if he would testify against
Laughlin in the forgery trial.
The stormy attorney eventually
won an acquittal in the criminal
case and later went on to practice
law here, representing some of the
most sensational defendants ever to
appear here in the criminal courts.
In addition to his clients in the
sedition trial, Laughlin has repre-
sented William Cammack. 18-year-
old heir, charged with draft evasion.
He was, however, dismissed as coun-
sci after Cammack's aunt disagreed
with his legal advice.

Ruling May Dispose
OF Montgomery Ward
Case Out Of Court

Federal legal authorities believed
today that the United States Court
of Appeals decision in the New
England freight carriers case, hold
ing War Labor Board orders not
subject to court review, might be
interpreted to mean that the ad-
ministration's struggle with Mont
gomery Ward & Co. will be con-
cluded outside the courts.
According to an authoritative ~
depreciation, the appellate court s
ruling means that no firm or labor
group can escape compliance with
WLB orders by appeal to the courts.
Conversely, it is held, the WLB can
not go to the courts to enforce its
orders.
Under these conditions, author
tiles believe, WLB must rely on &C
ton by the President under his Con-
stitutional powers or the powers
given him under the War Labor Dis
putes Act to enforce its orders.
However. WLB officials said that
while the decision strengthens the
boards position it does not neces-
sarily dispose Of a group of other
suits for review. one being the Ward
case.
The difference is that the decision
today refers to WLB decisions made
pursuant to the executive order
which established the board in jan
uary, 1912, while the Montgomery
Ward suit seeks review of WLB Or
ders made pursuant to the War Labor
Disputes Act, enacted about year
ago.
The Justice Department has ia
ken the position in the past that the
WLB orders are not renewable in
either case, but the decision today
is inconclusive in relation to the
War Labor DiSDllteS Act

or whether it would delay the trial
here.
Members of the prosecution staff
told of the indictment, had no COM
ment pending official word Pri-
vately they predicted that the sedi-
ton trial would proceed without in
terruption.
The robbery was the largest of its
kind on record in this area. Three
bandits armed with double
barreled shotgun and pistol, held up
two messengers from the Prince
Georges Bank & Trust Co. and
escaped with $52,6l695 in cash and
two non-negotiable cashiers checks
totaling S75,0OO
The messengers, Jack Dameron,
II, of Hyattsville, and Van Stauber,
Is, University Park, had just left the
bank en- route to the Office of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to leave $4,000 for a
payroll when their car was blocked
by small black sedan containing
three men.
Two men brandishing weapons
jumped out and seized a satchel con-
tanning the payroll money and the
messengers car keys and were run
ming back to their own car when
their companion, who had remained
at the wheel. called attention to a
second. satchel containing the rest
of the cash and checks. They made
a quick return, grabbed this bag
also, then raced back to the sedan
and we're driven away toward Wash
ington.

Investigation along with Maryland

recently he was fined $3.50 by Jus.
tice Jennings Bailey for contempt Of
court during the current seditior
trial. after filing an affidavit charg-
ing Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
presiding justice, of bias and preju-
dice. The affidavit charged that
Justice Eicher was alleged to have
accepted appointment to the Dis
trict bench under pressure of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. who was said to have
picked the Judge to preside at the
sedition trial with promise of pro-
motion to higher judgeship if the
defendants were convicted.
Mr. Laughlin earlier tossed a
bombshell into the proceedings by
seeking subpoenas for Henry Ford,
Charles A. Lindbergh, Rabbi Ste
phen S. Wise. Harry L. Hopkins,
David Niles and many others, at
Mr.. Smythes request.
He successfully defended himself
in 1887 against disbarment pro-
ceedings brought against him by
the Grievance Committee of the
District Bar Association. The &C
ton of the Bar Association followed
Laughlin's acquittal in District
Court of charges of forgery, utter
ing and larceny after trust brought
against him by three clients.
The proceedings were high lighted
by the appearance as a witness for
Laughlin of Thomas Jordan, con-
victed murderer of a Garden Tea
Shop cashier. Jordan had a death
sentence commuted to life impris-
onment by President Roosevelt.
Misappropriation Charged.

Laughlin was employed as Sand

and, contending he could establish
an alibi for his client, sought un-
successfully to prevent Sanders re-
