Hafcheck Girl Returning
To Face Fraud CHARGE

Mrs. Gloria Hit Johnson, %, hat
check girl and formerly book
keeper at a District bank, was en-
route to Washington today from San
Francisco to answer an indictment
charging conspiracy to defraud the
Lincoln National Bank of $1,000, the
Associated Press reported.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton arrested Mrs. johnson in San
Francisco August 81 after long
search in Miami, New York and
San Francisco night clubs where
she worked as hatcheck girl after
her disappearance from the District.
The conspiracy count accuses
Mrs. johnson and her husband, Ray
mond E. Johnson, 27-year-old cab
driver, of conspiring to have Mrs.
johnson make false entry to indi-
cate withdrawal of $1,000 from one
account and show the sum accred-
tied to a fictitious name. In a sec
ond indictment she is charged with
actually making the false entry.
At a hearing before Federal Judge

|Ex-Tax Collector S
H,70OCIaim Opposed

The Commissioner were on record
today as opposing bill to obtain
a reimbursement for former District
Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers
of $6,70o, including s4,237 of salary
and retirement annuities, seized to
cover deficiencies in Collector
Towers Office.
The city heads stated their posi-
ton in a letter to Chairman Nc
Gehee of the House Committee on
Claims. The bill declares that on
investigation, the shortages in ac-
counts have been shown to result
from actions "of agent officers" who
were not exclusively responsible to
Mr.. Towers.
The Commissioners letter said:
1.-THE records indicate that there
was negligence on the part of Mr..
Towers in not properly supervising
the work of his subordinates. As
his surety was credited with the
amount of his retirement annuities
applied to the deficiency, enactment
of this bill would relieve not only
Mr.. Towers from liability, but his
surety as well, after full accord and
settlement had been reached be-
tween the District, Mr.. Towers and
his surety.
"The enactment of this type of
legislation would defeat the intent
and purpose of the law requiring
indemnity bonds of District en-
ployes."

BiIbo Says Freight Bill
Backers Aid His Drive
Nv the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi grinningly claimed an easy
start today on his drive to defeat a
railroad freight rate increase bill
by a "30-day, S24,000,000" speech.
MY opponents are doing all my
work for me so far" he told re-
porter few hours after, Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana
called up the bill and asked the
Senate to approve it.
Senator Bilbo figures that every
day he talks he saves the Govern
ment some 100000 in rate increases
it otherwise would have to pay the
railroads if the bill became law. He
says he is ready to talk 80 days, or
$24 900, 900 worth, and he advocates
using the savings" to replace the
National Capitol with a glamorous
new edifice.
The measure would repeal the last
remnants of the laws under which
railroads which got Federal land
grants in the 10th century had to
give reduced rates on Government
freight. AS the law stands, land
grant roads have to carry military
and naval freight at half rates.
Senator Wheeler told the Senate
the original worth of the land grants
was only $126, 100000 and that the
railroads already have lost $1,000
100000 in income to the Government
in return.
