for custer OF public officials. He also
told the six-man investigating
group that anyone called may be
required to testify regardless of
whether he wants to. He said the
purpose of the law was to remove
as defense the excuse that the
witness does not want to incriminate
himself.
Only one witness, County Board
Member Daniel A. Dugan, had testi-
fled on Monday when the grand jury
adjourned until this morning. The
investigation was ordered by Judge
Mccarthy following written re-
quest by Mr. Dugan.
Tells of Contempt Warning.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Dugan said he
had been cautioned against possible
contempt of court by County Court
Judge High Reid, as the result OF
a statement Mr.. Dugan issued yes
terday. The County Board member
had issued a statement in which he
said that If the man arrested in the
raid now under investigation docs
not receive the maximum penalty
the citizens of Arlington are
going to want to know why"
I'm view of Judge Reid's warning"
Mr.. Dugan declared, Il wish to take
whatever steps are necessary to avoid
being in contempt of court and fur
ther not to prejudice any defense
Mr.. Scheele may have.
I'm my remarks. I merely in
tended to make it clear that many
people in Arlington, including my
self, have strong feelings about the
case. None of my remarks were i'll
tended as a reflection on the court .
Sees Hint of Reprisal.
Judge Reid commented today
that any person reading Mr.. Dugan's
statement would conclude that it
was a threat of political reprisal
in event the verdict did not suit
Mr.. Dugan"
I'm not in any way charging
Mr.. Dugan had such intentions"
the judge continued, "but I think
the average reader would construe
it as an attempt to intimidate the
court into rendering verdict suit
able to Mr.. Dugan."
Included in the II witnesses are 3
for whom summonses were issued
late yesterday. They are William
E. Hef1in, 80, of the 600 block of
Jefferson avenue, Falls Church; Roy
Armbrewster, "a, of the 43OO block

Strong Armed Force
Urged by Warren al
Session on Security

Gov Earl Warren of California
declared today world peace is i'm
possible unless the United States
has an armed force strong enough
to carry out its world commitments.
In an address at the Willard Hotel.
at a meeting called to form a Ma
tional Security Committee, the
Californian said 1t would BE- "su,-
cidal" to delay building a strong Sc
curity force. The first step. he SAID,
must be immediate passage of UNI
versal military training legislation.
Under present world conditions, he
said, the same danger of apparent
weakness exists that caused Ger
many and Japan to assault U.S." He
added:
mo sane ruler or country would
deliberately provoke war with a rich
country like ours if it were known
that we were ready to defend our
selves.
ANY bully might try it, other
wise"
No Other Way to Be Ready.
II do not believe there is any way
that America can be ready for every
emergency" he said, "other than to
train our youth"
1T is my firm conviction he as
serted, that our failure to have such
program in the past has forced
two destructive and costly wars on
us in our generation"
Obviously, he said, the world 'has
not learned its lesson from the suf-
fering of two wars. We must act
while there is still time to avoid an
other war"
Representatives of more than so
veterans fraternal and patriotic
groups met to form the permanent
committee to spearhead their ac-
tivities for a stronger national Sc
curity. The opening session of the
two-day meeting made it plain that
universal military training would be
the priority effort.
The meeting was called by former
Supreme Court Justice Owen j.
Roberts, chairman of the Citizens
Emergency Committee for Universal
Military Training.
Recalls Statement in June.
Mr.. Roberts recalled that last
June he told the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee, which was consid-
ering universal training proposals,
that military weakness here "is
accelerating the approach OF a
crisis
"It is now four months since I
made that statement" he declared.
1t is obvious to any one that we
have reached the crisis.
Every day. that we delay in
adopting comprehensive program
for national security brings us a
step further away from peace"
Joseph c. Grew, former American
Ambassador to Japan, was among
visitors who attended the opening
meeting.
John Thomas Taylor. American
Legion legislative chief, attacked
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
for his opposition to universal train
ing in another talk.
He predicted that I'VE will have
enough votes in the Senate to pass
the legislation, but it will take a
lot Of work to get it to a vote" Sen
ate battle lines on the measure, he
said, were clearly drawn by the
Republican leaders stand"

Henry Ericsson,
Prominent Chicago
Builder, Dies

NEW YORK, February 90
Henry Ericsson, Chicago build
ing contractor, who served as City
Building Commissioner from 1911
to 1915, died yesterday on a visit
to Miami, Florida. His age was
So
Born in Moheda, in the Swedish
province of Smaland, in 1861, he
came to this country when he was
twenty years old, and settled in
Chicago where he first worked as
a carpenter. He later entered the
building construction field. and in
1891, in association with another
Swede, Andrew Lanquist, erected
Chicago's first skyscraper, the
Monon Building. In 1897 he set up
his own business. Among other
important Chicago buildings put
up by him, or by companies with
which he was connected, are the
Manhattan-the first ST X t n
story structure in Chicago-the
Harvester. Gossard, Twentieth
Century, Liquid Carbonic, Morton,
City Hall Square, Garland, Con-
way, Bloom and Pittsfield' build
ings, the buildings of the Illinois
Merchants Bank and the Chicago
Trust Company, the Cort and the
Roosevelt Theatres, various i'm
portant factories and warehouses,
thirty-six public schools, and hun
dreds of other structures. He was
also the builder of the Julia La
thrope housing project and similar
developments throughout h e
country.
Mr. Ericsson, who was the au-
thor of Sixty Years a Builder"
had served as president of the

working industry decision must be
reached at the latest March 8.
"Since the proposals have been
approved unanimously by repre-
sentatives of both labor and man.
agement," writes Stockholm It'd
ningen, there is reason to ex-
pect that they will be finally ac-
cepted. Undoubtedly, this initial
good result will make it easier to
conclude agreements which have
not yet been signed, particularly in
the paper, pulp, and sawmill in
dustries, the private railroads. the
shoe industry, and with the long
shoremen."
The new agreement in the metal
working industry means a retroac-
tive wage increase from January
