ABUE FACES SENATE FIGHT

On Jersey Boss’ Man For Judgeship.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 19.—Presi- | dent Roosevelt’s nomination of .a|" candidate sponsored by Boss Frank 3 Hague of Jersey City to a federal

judgeship ran into trouble today. The administration’s plan tof: hurry up the senate’s confirmation of the nominee was upset when New Jersey’s Governor Charles Edison spoke out plainly and bluntly against the Hague candidate, Thomas F. Meaney. The. governor sent a two-and-a-half page letter to every member of the senate judiciary committee before which the nomination is pendSmathers Seeks Hague Aid

The letter was delivered as the committee met’ to consider a report; from a subcommittee headed by Senator Smathers (D. N. J.), which gave the nomination only a perfunctory public hearing last week. Senator Smathers, who is up for reelection in November and is seeking the political favor of the Jersey boss, had planned to rush the nomination through the committee and the senate, This strategy was rudely disFupted by the governor's letter which was so effective with the committee that Senator Van Nuys (D. Ind), chairman, ordered the hearings reopened and instructed Senator Smathers to give everybody

appear. Behind the eover of delay, it appeared today that a real fight may

to get his clutches on the federal judiciary, despite earlier indications that Senator Smathers might have

working for her now, at all.

Freed by Italy,

Asks Army Post

LISBON, Portugal, May 19 (U. P.)—~The Rev. Hiram Gruber Woolf of Elmira, N. Y., who spent six months in an Italian prison on suspicion of espionage, will request permission to be sent to the front lines as an American army chaplain when he returns to the United States, he said today. The Rev. Mr. Wdolf said his prison life in Rome had weakened him physically, but he was “morally strengthened and presently prepared to face any danger.” He was arrested last Nov. 18 while serving as rector of St. Paul’s American Episcopal church in Rome and held incommunicado until his release to join the

repatriation party. Until the last minute, he was led to believe other Americans already had left Rome.

LIQUOR BAN IN SERVICES URGED

Dry Forces Open Drive in Congress for Measures

Restricting Sale.

WASHINGTON, May 19 (U. P.) — Prohibitionists began a drive in congress today for enactment of legislation prohibiting the sale of liquor to men in the armed services. A committee headed by Rep. Joseph Bryson (D. S. C.) was authorized by a bi-partisan group of representatives and senators to press for action on liquor legislation. Several bills pending in both the senate and house deal with the subject, but committees to. which they have been referred show no inclination to act on them.

Drive Committee Named

‘Approximately 25 members of the house and three senators—Arthur Capper (R. Kas), W. Lee O’Daniel (D. Tex) and Josh Lee (D. Okla.)— attended a luncheon yesterday at which the committee was appointed to head the new drive. Rep. Carl Rees (R. Kas.), who attended the meeting, reported that “feeling is running high among the people for the enactment of legislation along this line.” Rep. Bryson, in a letter to members of the house and senate, called the conference “to better consolidate the dry sentiment in congress.” It was agreed at the meeting that a national conference of temperance leaders would be held here next month.

. Claims Debauchery

Edward Page Gaston, commander of an organization known as Patriot Guard of America, Inc., attended the conference and issued a statement. He said: “ . . . This gathering grew out of the growing demand for speedy action, from indignant parents and other connections of service men now being debauched by flaunting vice and drinking conditions.”

If You Have a War

Contract and Need Money

Uncle Sam Says—"'See Your Bank”

GreaTER PRODUCTION of all war materials is a vital and increasing need. Large and small companies are cooperating to the full extent

of their ability—to do more war work.

"THE NATION'S BANKS are doing their part, too— by lending money for war work, on conditions ‘and terms more liberal than usual, under the government’s war production financing “Regulation V.”

Woany small companies are doing splendid work for our country now—and others expect to be at it soon. We like to help finance their work, so they

GHAILLAUX SPEAKS AT POLIGE PARLEY

LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 19 (U. P.) —Homer Chaillaux, Indianapolis, director of the American Legion’s Americanism commission, will be the principal speaker today at the eighth annual convention of the Indiana Fraternal Order of Police. At opening sessions yesterday, Circuit Judge Lynn Parkinson of Tippecanoe county said decreasing value of human life has developed in young people “the most vicious philosophy of ‘eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may be dead’.” To solve the problem, Judge Parkinson recommended community program of prevention and correction of juvenile delinquency. Resolutions adopted yesterday called for legislation to protect officers from accidents in the line of duty, a minimum of five years’ service for chiefs of police, eight hours’ tour duty, and minimum wages ranging from $210 monthly in first-class cities to $165 monthly in fourth-class cities.
