Civic organizations were preparing
today to study the plan for solving
transportation problems in the CEN
tral area of Washington, which was
released yesterday by the Commits
sioners without comment.

tions would not express an opinion

by a proposal for three streetcar
subways costing $56, 100000.

Capital Transit Co., issued state
ment saying that his company would
make no comment until its engi-
neers have made a complete study
of the report"
Judged by Service.
Declaring that the company de-
sires to provide the best possible
service for its more than 1000, 900
daily patrons, Mr.. Merrill said the
company believes suggestions for
new routes or rerouting, locations
and relocations of streetcar and
bus lines should be judged by their
favorable or unfavorable effect upon
the convenience and accessibility of
the public transportation service 4"
Mr.. Merrill emphasized that the
transportation survey and plan. pre-
pared by J. E. Greiner Co. and De
Leuw, Gather g. Co., was an in
dependent study. He said that while
the transit company furnished fac
tual data to the consulting engineers
during the early stages of the plan,
it did not participate in its prepara-
ton nor did it make suggestions

mittees.

Prosecution Spurns
Defense Offer 10 Give
Sedition Trial 10 Jury
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

The Government pushed ahead in
the sedition trial today with its evi-
dence against the 26 defendants
after several defense attorneys Of
fered late yesterday to submit the
issue to the jury without further
testimony.
Chief Prosecutor o. John Rcgge
did not accept the challenge, but
he did insist that the Government
had produced sufficient evidence
against some of the defendants for
the case against them to 60 to the
jury.
From now on, the prosecutor
added, "the only question is how
many defendants are tied into the
conspiracy"
Ordered to Proceed.
Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
said there was nothing before the
court and directed Mr.. Rogge to
proceed with his case. The jury
was out of the room when the de-
fense attorneys made their offer.
The question was opened by Ben
Lindas, attorney for George Sylves-
ter Viereck. Mr.. Lindas, saying he
was calling Mr.. Rogge's bluff, +"
added: I'm willing to submit the
case to the jury at once, and
won't submit any evidence either"
Lawrence Dennis, a defendant
representing himself, joined in the
move, Offering also to allow the case
to go to the jury without argument.
Two other defense counsel, Harry
A. Grant and Ethelbert B. Frey
made similar proffers.
Objection Raised.
Later Mr.. Frey, who represents
Robert E. Edmondson, publisher and
journalist, objected to the prosecu-
tion's reading of partial texts OF
Nazi speeches and pamphlets to the
jury. Mr.. Frey pointed out that
President Roosevelt, in his most re-
cent speech, had denounced lifting
excerpts out of statements to dis
tort them. The objection was over
ruled.
During session of almost con.
slant pickering between counsel
William j. Powers, attorney for Will
liam Dudley Pelley, the former Sill
yer Shirt leader, retorted, when told
by the court no further argument ir
support of an objection would be
heard: How can I defend my cli-
ent when the court refuses to let
me state the grounds of my objec-
tions? protest against not being
allowed to make a record in accord.
ance with the practice in other
Federal courts"
Mr.. Rogge objected repeatedly tc
these. Interruptions" as he read ex.
hibits to the jurors. After each
document was read, Mr.. Dennis
moved that 1t be stricken from the
record as historical material relat.
ing to events in Germany and hav.
ing no bearing on the charge in the
indictment that the defendants con-
spired to undermine the loyalty OF
the United States armed forces.
Objections Sustained.
II submit" said Mr.. Rogge, that
If the defense is allowed to argue its
case piecemeal, I should be allowed
to reply
60 ahead and reply" came
shouts from the defense tables.
Justice Eicher sustained the prose-
cutor's objection to each interrupt
ton. But the interruptions con-
tinued.
The documentary evidence related
mostly to speeches and written
statements by Hitler, Alfred Rosen-
berg and Goebbels. They were Of
fered In proof Of the Government's
assertion that there was a world
wide Nazi conspiracy. The prose
