THE MICHIGAN DAILY I Grand Jury Is Hinted In Case Before House' Film Star Discovers New Way To Keep Cool Committee Alleges That Fugitive Was Supplied With Funds Accuse Each Other Silverman Is Charged With Attempting To Swing Auto Contracts WASHINGTON, July 25. - (P) - Amid speculation as to whether a grand jury inquiry is imminent, the house military committee sought to- day to garner more testimony about the alleged relations between Frank Speicher and Joseph Silverman, Jr., former dealer in surplus army sup- plies. Speicher, who was sought for months last year by government ag- ents, was summoned to testify to- morrow. "We want the whole story he knows," said Chairman McSwain (South Carolina Democrat). Speicher Sought From Harold Schnuer of New York, former attorney for Speicher, the committee obtained testimony that Silverman money was given Speicher on several occasions while he was sought last year by the committee as a witness for a grand jury inquiry here into war department business dealings. Silverman, who built up a 'huge business in surplus army- supplies, only to be barred from the war de- partment, denied to the committee earlier that he had supplied funds to Speicher while the latter was hunted over the country by federal agents. "Both Interested" McSwain has told the committee, too, that Speicher and Silverman were both interested in obtaining a General Motors sales agenqy in Washington. McSwain said Silver- man was to swing contracts to this agency after using his influence to have war department specifications changed so as not to bar Chevrolet trucks. Silverman told the committee Speicher sought to destroy him on that deal. George E. McNeil, of the United States district attorney's office here, took notes as Schnuer testified yes- terday. He said the possibilitiy of grand jury action hinged on what was brought out later. Tells Of. Trip Bert C. Brown, in charge of the United States secret service in De- troit, told the committee yesterday about a trip Silverman made to De- troit in connection with setting up a General Motors sales agency in Washington. McSwain said the arrangements looked like a "frame-up against Gen- eral Motors and the government." From Brown he received testimony that Dennis Mahoney, New York de- tective and friend of Silverman, had called the secret service operative in Detroit last year and asked him to introduce Silverman to some General Motors officials. -Associated Press Photo.

'Nazis Assail Three Groups In Latest Blow Fuehrer Attacks Foreign, Catholic Press, Steel Helmets BERLIN, July 25. - (A) - The Nazis attacked today on three fronts - against the foreign press, against the Catholic press at home, and against the war veterans' organiza- tion, the Steel Helmet. A large portion of Germany's press heaped scorn on foreign newspapers for alleged "slander, biased reporting and exaggeration" of the German government's anti-Semitic and anti- Catholic measures. Editors Worried Catholic editors were worried as to how soon Max Amann, the president of the Reich press chamber and boss of the German publishing business, would strike against Catholic news- papers which he decides are not edit- ed "in the national socialist spirit." Political police dissolved the Steel Helmet units in western Mecklen- burg, at Parchim, Ludwigslust and Waren on the grounds of subversive activity. The attack on the foreign press took the form mainly of pointing out that other nations had their own riots, lynchings, and such disorders and that therefore there was no cause for them to get unduly exicted over disorders in Germany. The Nazi party organ at Baden, "Fuehrer," appeared with a demand that Catholic newspapers be elimin- ated as part of the Nazi drive against "political Catholicism." Deadline Reached Last April 25, Amann published an edict giving newspapers three months to show they agreed with Nazi party principles. That time now has ex- pired. The dissolution of the Steel Helmet unit in western Mecklenburg was ordered, it was officially announced, because "resistance has been offered by members of the Steel Helmet to orders issuedby state officials, and officers of the "Nazi) party." Most particularly, the complaint was made that the members of the war veterans' units concerned had not participated in the studies of aerial protection ordered by the ad- ministrative leader of the district. Whether the entire Steel Helmet organization may be dissolved has not been ascertained. Although various rumors have said such disolution is likely.

Denver Girls Are Better Talkers In School -Not News DENVER, July 25. - (P)-Girls in Denver schools are better talkers than the boys. The actual count shows 109 boys who stammer, but only 25 girls with the impediment. Lispers are more evenly divided -151 boys and 108 girls. Miss Mary A. Willsea and Miss Julia M. Wright are two teachers especially assigned to work with Denver young- sters whose tongues "just get in the way." They report four of every five stammerers in the kindergartens and elementary grades are boys. Corrective measures include word drills and "gral gymnasiums" to strengthen lingual muscles and stim- ulate brain control of lips and tongue. Col. H.H. Rogers Dies Following Extended Illness SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., July 25. - P) -- Col. Henry Huddleston Rogers, inheritor of one of the large fortunes made in the Standard Oil companies, died today in Southampton Hospital. He had been ill since last October, when he suffered an attack of pneu- monia. Rogers, who was 55 years old, was taken to the hospital two days ago, from his Southampton summer home, for a blood transfusion. He was the son of the late H. H. Rogers, a vice-president of the Stand- ard Oil companies for years and a -hief aid of John D. Rockefeller in the development of the vast concern. Last May, he was operated on at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore and was taken to his summer place to convalesce. Growing weaker, he was taken to the hospital for the transfusion in preparation for a sec- ond operation. He was born in New York City in December, 1879, and was graduated from Columbia University in 1901. As an officer in the New York militia he rose rapidly and was a colonel of artillery in 1913. During the Mexican Punitive Ex, pedition in 1916, he commanded the Third New York Artillery and was with that regiment in action in France. The governments of France and the United States decorated him. Housman 's SPECIALS for Saturday TOOTH PASTES Tigers Go To Cleveland For 4-Game Series Rain Postpones Final Tilt With Yankees; Auker May Hurl Today NEW YORK, July 25. --(A') - Rain and wet grounds resulted in a post- ponement today of the final game in the series between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. Mickey Cochrane and his Bengals headed for Cleveland immediately after the Yankee management had announced the postponement. The Tigers will engage the Indians in a four game series starting tomorrow, after which Detroit will return to Navin Field to engage the St. Louis Browns. Mickey and the Tigers left New York, winners of the crucial series, two games to one and practically tied with the Yankees at the top of the standings. Only .004 of a percentage point separated the two teams. The game postponed today will be played as a part of a doubleheader when the Tigers make their final swing through the east in September. The day of idleness also gave the Tiger pitching staff a chance to rest up after the hectic series with New York. Elden Auker, whom Cochrane planned to start against the Yankees in the final game of the series here, may hurl the first game against Cleveland, although Tommy Bridges and Schoolboy Rowe also are ready for starting assignments against the Indians. A magnificent four-hit pitching performance by a veteran of many baseball wars, 34-year-old 'General' Alvin Crowder, shut out the Yankees yesterday, 4 to 0, and boosted the Tigers to a synthetic tie with New York, less than half a percentage point separating the leaders in the league standings. The General permitted only one Yankee to get beyond first base. He did not issue a walk and struck out three men, among them the mighty slugger, Lou Gehrig. The four hits he yielded were scattered singles, one of them a safe bunt laid down by the hard-hitting George Selkirk, who ac- counted for half the Yankee blows.

WASHINGTON, July 25. --(0) -1 Circumstances in 1890 dropped a wittyi Irishman into the amost completely German town of St. Marys, Pa., to teach and to struggle with the long,1 German names of the townspeople.c Today as a strange, indirect result, the Associated Gas & Electric Co. is1 explaining its battle against the util- ity holding company bill to the sen- ate's lobby investigation. The Irishman is Dennis Driscoll, now the white-haired and still witty representative from Pennsylvania, who "got nosey," as he says, because of the peculiar character of the com- munications he was receiviis; criticiz- ing the holding company bill, and uncovered information which precipi- tated the giant utility company into the hearing. Knows First Names Too Names are a hobby with Driscoll and city directories just an evening's pleasure ever since he tried to teach the three R's to little Gittenbergers, little Eisenmans, little Steinhausers, and so on. He not only learned to pronounce the names, but he knows what they mean. He liked his German neighbors so well he never left St. Marys, and he knows a good portion of the citi- zens by their first names. Then came the period a few weeks back when he received wires signed by the names of many of those neigh- bors attacking the holding company bill. In two days, 816 telegrams poured into his office. Altogether he received 1,500. Bridge Training Helped He phoned his "girl friend," who is Mrs. Driscoll to strangers. She came to his office and together they spent an evening sorting those wires. "She's a good bridge player," Dris- coll grins, "so I let her deal them into piles, one for each letter of the alphabet. In 816 telegrams there were 75 from persons whose names began with 'A' and 114 from those whose names began with 'B.' Any school child would know that 'A' and 'B' names don't fill a quarter of the city directory. They did honor the 'D's' with some wires, but not enough. So Driscoll grew even "nosier." He found one message signed by his old friend, John S. Bayer, furniture deal- er in Warren, so he wrote Bayer about "his telegram." Bayer wrote back, "Never sent you a telegram. Exactly 115 football players have been killed playing football in the United States in the last four years. Only 16, were killed in college games or practice for college games.

Have no interest in the utility bill." Driscoll sent out more letters to this long list of correspondents he had suddenly acquired. More denials came back. Frank Vallala and Ann Martin had both sent him two wires from Warren. Each of the wires directed him to take different courses in his voting on the bill. He told the senate hearing the story wtih an air of injured innocence that brought shouts of laughter. Driscoll's Investigation Into Names Started A Senate Probe Mounties' Desert Steeds For Autos MONTREAL, Que., July 25. - (f) -The much-storied Royal Canadian Mounted Police have lost their horses, says J. E. Dancey, head auditor for the famed "mounties." He reports that although the police traveled 13,506,632 miles during the fiscal year 1933-34, the mileage cov- ered by saddle horse was so small as to be of little account. Improved roads, notably in Quebec, are held largely responsible for the move of the mounties from the saddle to, behind the wheel.
