the policies governing the Cadet
Corps without its sanction.
AS the administrative officer In
charge of white cadets l have
scrupulously obeyed that order and
it is greatly to be regretted that
newspaper articles have tended to
give the impression that anything
would be done which would not have
full board approval Furthermore
1t should be made known that be-
fore any changes in cadet drills
could be recommended to the Board
OF Education they would have to be
agreed to by other school officers.
No proposal to make any change
in the organization other than to
fill Col. Craigies position has been
considered this school year, rumors
to the contrary Notwithstanding
Consequently there is no need for
citizens associations or parent
teacher associations to write the
board against changes, AS was sug-
gested by certain individuals in the
press accounts Sunday. The Board
of Education keeps itself fully in
formed regarding contemplated
changes in all educational services
that it operates, and the public can
rest we'll assured that it will permit
no changes which it does not ap-
prove.

Branch Line Purchase
Would Save Money,
W. & 0. D. Contends
lcc Opposition to Buying
Of BIuemont RoiIroud
Answered in Report

Answering a recommendation of
an Interstate Commerce Commits
sion examiner that the proposed
purchase of the Bluemont junction
line of the Southern Railway by the
Washington & Old Dominion Rail-
road was contrary to the public
interest" w. g. o. D. officials held
today that the purchase would re-
suit in substantial savings" to the
railroad.
w. g. o. D. officials, in the re-
port filed with the ICC, pointed out
the railroad now is renting the
Bluemont Junction line, running
between Alexandria and PURCELL
vile, Va, at $4,000 yearly. How
ever. it was pointed out, when gross
revenues reach s25o,o00 in any year
the rental is 3 per cent of such
gross, and when gross revenues ex-
ceed $780, 1000 in any year the rental
is per cent. Rentals increase on
a sliding scale with increased reve-
nues, they said.
Under the purchase plan the w.
d. @, D. report said, payments for
the line Will be completed iii seven
and half years at an Increase In
monthly payments of only SIS above
the minimum rental.
We submit that sound business
and due regard to economical oper-
alton not only justifies, but necessi-
tates, this purchase rather than a
continued leasing of the land" the
reply stated.
The w. & o. D. last January
nied application with the ICC to
for $4,000 the 1914 miles
OF track and SO miles of spurs and
sidings OF the branch line which
connects with the Southern Rail-
ways line from Rosslyn, Va.
w. & o. D. planned to finance the
purchase with 100000 in promissory
notes bearing an interest of Az Der
cent secured by deed of trust on
Its present property. One of the
notes would be for $4,000, payable
In $500 monthly installments and
the balance would be covered by
Two notes payable eight years after
the date of issuance.
AT a hearing last February. the
only opposition to the proposed pur-
chase came from Mrs. Nellie O.
Fletcher, who continually has fought
for increased passenger service on
the Rosslyn-to-Leesburg line. In
the report to the ICC, w. g. o. D.
off1ciais officials said that it had re-
ceived no opposition to the plan
and did not expect any until Mrs.
Fletcher was allowed to intervene.

Commenting on the report the

This striking decrease in the
number of fires and consequent de-

attributed to the prevention work

'Eicher Rules GissibI
May Testify on Talk
With His Nazi Brother
Prosecution Wins Fight
To Include Bundist's
Story in Sedition Record
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

~ NNAAsA EAe DkkOOhE 9ONES.
The Government was expected to
bring out today at the sedition trial
In District Court Peter Gissibl's &C.
count of conversation with his
brother, Fritz. which the prose-
cutors regard as highly significant
a talk which the defense fought BIT
terly to exclude on the ground that
none Of the 20 defendants was pres.
ent when 1t occurred.
Peter Gissibl has testified that he
and his brother organized the first
unit of the old Teutonia Society in
Chicago back In the early 1g20s, the
organization that eventually be-
came the German American Bund.
in which both were prominent fig
ures. Fritz Gissibl later returned to
Germany and was commissioned an
Elite Guard officer. He Is named In
the Governments bill of particu-
lars as a co-conspirator with the
defendants In the alleged plot to
incite the American armed forces
to mutiny and to set up Nazi re-
.gime in the United States.
Justice Eicher Reverses Ruling.
At first, Justice Edward C. Eicher.
sustained the objection of numerous
defense attorneys. and Peter Gissibl
got only so far as to admit there
was such conversation. After con-
sidering the matter overnight and
studying authorities, the presiding
judge announced that he had re-
versed his ruling and would admit
the testimony.
When the trial was adjourned Fri.
day for the week end Gissibl had
identified letter purporting to show
that Nazis officials had arranged a
propaganda course at Stuttgart for
American Bundists in 1888. This
letter, which was expected to be
offered in evidence today, was from
the German Foreign Institute and
suggested that leading members OF
the group be sent to Stuttgart for
special instruction In National So
Icialism.
There were indications that Gis.
sibl, the Governments first witness
at the long trial, was approaching
the close OF his direct testimony. He
faces cross-examination from more
than 20 attorneys.
Several Thousand Exhibits.
Special Prosecutors o. John Roere
and Joseph w. Burns have several
thousand exhibits and thus far have
succeeded in placing before the Jury
only a handful. Defense counsel
have challenged every document and
have questioned the accuracy of
itranslations from the German which
have been offered along with the
documents in the original language.
Sometimes half day has been oc-
cupied with arguments over one
exhibit.
Justice Eicher thus far has allowed
all exhibits to go into the record.
but in each instance he has added
the qualification "proyisionally.
meaning that they could be rejected
later If they were not connected
with the conspiracy charged in the
indictment. sss.s

Mrs. Roosevelt Shares WoffIes
With Troops at Bethesda USO

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt shared
waffies and sausages last night with
100 enlisted men and women at the
weekly Sunday evening supper at
the Bethesda USO.
Chefs for the evening were Is
men, who borrowed their wives
aprons and waffle irons for the
event.
There wasn't an electrician among
the Is. so no one realized the diff
culties of heating Is waffle irons on
single circuit. AS a result, Mrs.
Roosevelt's waffles were a little on
the pale side until some one had
the bright idea of heating a few of
the irons at a time.
Mrs. Roosevelt didn't mind. She
said her family's emergency Sunday

Dabney Sees Danger
To South in Bolt by
Presidential Electors;
Action by CoroIinions,
Texons Might Kill
Present System, He Warns
BY the Associated Press


WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June S.
Virginius Dabney,' editor of the
Richmond Times Dispatch and an
authority on political and economic
affairs of the South, told graduates
of the College of william and Mary
yesterday that bolt by electors in
South Carolina and Texas to some
other Democrat than the party NOM
inee. might kill the electoral college
system of electing President and
thereby hurt the Souths political
influence.
Mr.. Dabney. who received a doc
tor OF laws honorary degree at the
William and Mary commencement,
said that from certain points OF
view it is a good sign that various
Southern States are exhibiting un-
wonted political independence as
the Democratic National Conven-
ton approaches.
Fayors Opposition Party.
"The South must stop voting for
one party's candidates year after
year, no matter what those candi-
dates stand for. 1t must develop a
strong opposition party, and the
sooner the better"
Mr.. Dabney said it should be
stressed that the threat of a bolt by
Texas and South Carolina electors
which Is inherent in the existing
situation may, if carried out. be the
worst thing that could happen to
the South
FOresees Popular Vote.
Suppose, for example," he said.
that the election in November is
extremely close. and that even
though Mr.. Roosevelt should carry
these two States by substantial mar
gins, the electors from those States
were to vote for some other Demo-
crat, and thereby throw the presi-
dency to Mr.. Dewey. In that event
the electoral college might not sur
Vlve and we might come quickly to
choosing our Presidents by popular
vote"
Should the popular-vote method
evolve, Mr.. Dabney said, sit would
be the worst thing that could hap
pen to the Southern States, most
of which enjoy far greater influence
under the existing electoral ar
rangement than they would in COM
petition with the heavily populated
States under a system of direct
elections"
Fourteen men, seven of whom al
ready are IN the armed forces. and
"a women were awarded their bach
elor of arts degrees. OF the seven
men who had left the college for
military service, three were present
IN Uniform to be graduated with their
class.
