Essential 10 Worlds
Future, Halifax Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Earl
of Halifax, British Ambassador to
the United States, said today there
is no single thing more important
for the worlds future than Anglo
American understanding
He declared In an address at a
luncheon of the Radio Executive
Club of New York in honor of the
British Broadcasting Corps 25th
birthday that the most elaborate
plans to disarm aggressor nations
or prevent war would fail without
the power of an informed public
opinion behind them.
He said radio must help educate
public opinion in the tasks Of peace
I'VE may set up the most perfect
machinery for the prevention of
war" he said. I'VE may reinforce
that machinery with every sort of
political and economic ARRANGEMENT
that the wit of men can devise.
But unless all that we can do has
behind it the power of an informed
public opinion, all that we can do
will not be enough. The schemes
will be waste paper, and the ma
chinery will be scrap.
so here is work for the interna-
tional radio, not merely between the
United States and Britain but be-
tween all nations, conveying the
American and British point of view
to others and bringing back their
point of view to U.S."

cations for places on the 7l-member

ton. These include nations of chief

tribution to air navigation facili-
ties; and nine nations not otherwise

The conference will hold its last
session tomorrow. 1t then will hear

seat of the interim or provisional
body which will function pending

D. T.. Heads Seek Way|
To Pay Veterans Who.
Lost Through Delay

Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech said today he was confident
the Commissioners would seek legis-
lation to give back pay to veterans
whose reinstatement In the District
government has been delayed, If the
District is unable to do so under
present regulations.
Mr. Keech has been asked by the
Commissioners to find out if the
District has the machinery to give
back pay where a delay in REIN
statement was attributed to the Dis
trict or to circumstances over which
the veteran himself had no control.
Now pending is the case of fire
man whose reinstatement was de-
layed because the Board of Police
and Fire Surgeons at first refused
to recommend his restoration to
duty after his discharge from the
service. The fireman applied for re-
instatement in June and was re-
stored to duty by the Commissioners
in October.
The Civil Service Commission, 1t
was understood. already has been
confronted with the problem of back
pay and has asked the controller
generals Office for ruling. 1t was
thought unlikely, on the basis of
past rulings, that the controller gen.
eral would rule in favor of pay for
work not actually performed.
The veterans service section of
the commission, however, has gone
on record with the commission in
favor of seeking legislation If the
controller generals report is un-
favorable Charles Anderson, chief
of the veterans service section,
pointed out that since private in
dustry must give veterans back pay

Testimony Indicting
Dorsey Is Questioned
In Move 10 End Case
By the Assoeiated Preks

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.-The ar
gument on whether the assault case
against the Tommy Dorseys and Al
len Smiley should be dismissed ragged
full blast today
The court has rejected a pros
ecution motion for dismissal and
plans to take under advisement the
same move by the deefnse after all
points Of law have been threshed out
As trial Judge Arthur Crum sees
It. one Of the principal points is
whether Movie Actor Jon Hall struck
the first blow, as Panamanian Actor
Sailor Mechanical Engineer Antonio
Icaza testified, in the Dorsey apart
ment battle that also involved Dor
sey and his friend, Smiley.
To Find Cause of Injury.
DO you think, as a fair minded
Judge" interjected the Dorsey's law
yer, Isaac Pacht, that the district
attorney would have signed this in
formation or that the grand jury
would have indicted these defend
ants on testimony that Dorsey struck
the first blow? 1t was the testimony
that Hall gave the grand jury that
caused the indictment. He accused
Dorsey and Mrs. Dorsey of cutting
him"
You may be sure" Judge Crum
answered dryly, that when this
court considers the arguments and
the points of law that it will be as
fair-minded judge"
The court said thorough discussion
was necessary to determine whether
any injury to Hall was caused by a
sharp instrument or could have been
the result merely of blows from fists
Jury Excused.
Jerry Giesler, veteran criminal
lawyer, called Hall very fortunate
and lucky man" in arguing for a
dismissal of charges against his
client, Smiley.
Giesler told the court Mrs. Dorsey
would have been justified if she
picked up a revolver and shot Hall,
whom he described as an indecent
intruder"
The jury has been excused until
tomorrow morning while the lawyers
argue the motion to dismiss, but
Giesler seemed to think the court
might welcome some forensic fire.

Of pinwheels, skyrockets and roman

Giesler recalled Halls admission
that after the August battle on the
Dorsey balcony he consulted an at
torney. Giesler said Hall decided
that if he were to prosecute a con-
templated 100000 libel action
against Dorsey he would have to
establish that the Dorseys cut him.
Testimony Called Perjury.
There has been some direct falsi-
fcation insofar as the witness Hall
Is concerned" Giesler argued He
has told many and varied accounts
of that fight. His story in this court
room speaks for itself. He is i'm
peached by his own statements"
Referring, to Icaza. Geisler said
"he hides between such answers as
I don't remember and I was sick
and confused and he says he doesn't
remember whether he ever served
prison terms"
He wilfully commits perjury In
this courtroom. His appearance
here was travesty on justice and
I respectfully suggest to this court
that the testimony of such witnesses
be referred back to the grand jury"
Dorseys' counsel didn't seem to
want anything tossed back to The
grand jury. They pleaded that the
