She was in a tan convertible coupe with another woman. I didn’t bawl. her out at all. "I only warned her, I told her to watch out in the future. so she wouldn't pass any more lights.” When did it dawn on him that she was Mrs. Roosevelt? Holley scratched. hiz head. “She was very tanned.” he said after a while, “and it was not - until she had driven on towards New London. and I noticed the District, of Columbia markers, that I realized I had been talking to the First Lady.” : How does Holley fell about the whole spisode? “My - conscience,” he said, “is clear. I saw my duty and did it.”

Ten Room Operator * Court First Time as Jury Prospect.

”

RS. EMMA HOSEA, who lives A at 5855 Central-av and operates a tea room, is a woman of personal convictions who has had “no truck with courts.” She was among the prospective jurors questioned at the Victor Crickmore trial in Criminal Court ‘today. ~ “Do you think you could try this case fairly and impartially,” she was asked by Defense Attor‘ney Clvde Karrer. “I believe so,” she replied: “But I don’t know much about courts. All my life I've led an honest, clean life. I've hgd no truck with courts. Why, this is the first time I've ever been in one.” . Mr. Karrer went on with his questioning of other veniremen: Later he came back to Mrs. Hosea, and there she was, sitting in the jury box with an umbrella raised. “Is it raining on you, ' madame?” she was asked. ‘Oh no, but there is an electric fan blowing on my neck. Although I enjoy perfect health, the worst cold I ever had I caught while sitting under an electric fan 20. years ago.” The courtroom spectators smiled and chuckled while a janitor was called in, climbed high above the jury box and disconnected the fan. “Do you have the time fo sit on this jurv?” she was asked. “There's only one time that I'd * like to be home and that's today. After that I could stay here for six months,” she said. No one ventured az guess how long she would be there. :

ARMS SALES IN

LABOR DISPUTES

Liberties Committee Prepares to Subpena Manufacturers.

By I'nited Presa WASHINGTON. Aug. YI. The Senate Givil Liberties Committee is to serve subpenas on arms manufacturers believed to be outfitting strike breakers, it was learned today. 2 ‘A special undercover investigation has been started in several industrial cities preliminary to issuance of new subpenas in the inquiry into interference with the rights of labor to - organize, officials dis=closed. * Only those munitions firms beto be allied closely with strike breaking will be affected by this move, it was stated. However, it was said the inquiry might event-

{ ually touch many of the largest | arms makers in the country. :

Committee investigators said they have accumulated evidence indicat= ing some of these firms have sold” arms for use in laborgdisputes. At the same time an entirely new in= dustry was discovered—the manus facture 6f weapons especially de=in labor warfare. Typical was the finding of a gas-machine-gun said by committees officials to have been especially built. to protect “scab” labor during strikes and to break up picket lines, The present investigation is bee ing conducted by a committee headed by Senator Robert M.

Two Agencies Cited

The purpose of the La Follette ine = quiry 1s to expose the methods and uses of .strikebreaking with a view te - recommendations for strengthening Pederal statutes designed to curh it. It has been revealed that modification of at least five existing laws probably will be suggested to Cone ' gress by the committee. The La Follette committee also is laying the groundwork for a whole~

| sale investigation of “un-American

| yrganizations.” This would include inquiries into the activities of secret | societies and other bodies preaching

anti-Semitism, Fascism, and princi :

i ples “opposed to democracy.” John -J. Abt, special counsel te the committee, admitted that “these plans are under serious consideration, ‘but we have not yet decided upon our course.” ; It is expected that the procedurs of subpenaing will continue ‘when the committee resumes hearing Sept. 15. It will deal entirely with the activities of ‘the Burns and Pinkerton agencies in the field of labor relations. The committee opened its investigation with ths Railway Audit and Inspection Co., but no further public testimony is expected for some time on its alleged strike breaking activities. Angered by R.
