CONTEMPT CHARGES
THREATEN DR, WIRT
Chairman of Investigating
Committee to Force At
tendance at Hearing
GARY, Ind. —(#)— Dr. Wil
liam Wirt ‘Friday announced
he would be present next
Tuesday to tell a house of
representatives conmmittee at
Wheshington details of his
charges that certain members
of the administration “brain
trust” were plotting to over
throw the government.
WASHINGTON. —{(#)— A con
tempt charge threatens Dr. Wil
liam A. Wirt if he refuses to ac
cept a subpoena to testify before
a house committee on his dccusa-
tions that ' “brain trusters” plot
Red revolution.
Chairman Bulwinkle (D.-N. i)
of the Wirt investigating commit
tee indicated he did not believe the
Gary, Indiana, professor should be
allowed the J 0 days he requested
in which to prepare his case.
“He jsn’t a defendant on trial”
Bulwinkle told reporters. “All he
has to do is tell us who gave him
that revolution information’.
Bulwinke was obviously dubious
about Dr. Wirt's ability to name
anyone, but said that “if he re
fuses to appear, I shall take it up
again’ with the committee.”
Asked whether the committee
might then cite Wirt for con=
tempt of the house, or whether it
would yield to Speaker Rainey’s
expressed wish and “not dignify”
the case by a citation, Bulwinkle
replied: \
“Personally, I feel that there is
a little more than the dignity of
Dr. Wirt to consider. There ig
also the dignity of the house”
Representative McGugin of Kan
sas, a Republican on the Wirt com
mittee. ~charged that the whole
Wirt investigation was taking on
the appearances of a “whitewash”.

herself from the liner’s top deck
on the voyage from New York.
Prof. Darrio Borelli, director of
the nervous ailments clinic in
Genoa where Mrs., Massie has
been taken since the ship’s arri
val, Thursday, confirmed the of
ficers® report. 1
The director said that Mrs, Mas
sie told him she attempted suicide
when the steamer was three days
out from Genoa because:
“T wanted to die. I regretted
having got a divorce from my
husband.” .
After being. plcked up from a
lower deck, Mrs. Masgsie, remain

He visited her and decided that
because of her depressed mental
state she was not in condition te
continue g planned Mediterranean
cruise, i
Putnam ordered Mrs. MasSsie
taken from the boat and confined
to 2 nursing home .in Genoa.
Mrs. Magsie and Lieut. Thomas
Hedges - Massie, .young Amerigan
naval officer,” were divorced at
Reno Feh, 23.
Mrs. Massie was sgtricken sud
denly ill while attending & dinner
party at a Reno night club the
night after the divorce was grant
ed. It was necessary for her (o
be taken to a Reno hospital.
At that time, her physiclan, Dr.

tirely mental in character.”
Widely Known Case
‘ The Honolulu assault case, as a
result of which Clarence Darrow
Idefended Mrs. Massie’s husband
and others on murder charges in
11932, attracted international atten
tion.
Dr. Borelli told the Assoclated
Press she would have to remain
in the clinic from 30 t, 40 days
before she could recofer complete
ly..
Ship's officers said Mrs. Mase
gie threw herself from the top
deck, but that they did not know
whether she intended throwing
herself int, the sea or only on a
lower deck.
Despite her fall of nearly 20
feet, Dr. Borelli said that Mrs.
Massie's physical injuries were not
serious. He said her general phy
gical condition was, in fact, good,
but that she was eéxtremely nerv
ous and greatly depressed.
The officers said Mrs. Massie
was in a state of intense mental
depression throughout the voyage
from New York.

Bandits Lay Siege
To City in China;
Populace Ravaged
SHANGHAl—(®)—Laying feudal
siege to the walled city of Kingyu,
300 miles mnorth of here, 2,000
Chinese bandits scaled the walls,
looted and ravaged the populace
arid applied the torch to the town,
reports reaching here Friday said.
The renengade Mongolian gen
eral Liu Kwel-Tang, known as
China’s most sensational bandit
leader, commanded the tattered
outlaw horde which scaled the
walls with ladders, carrying flam
ing brands. ]
Like Mediaeval armies which
once sacked ‘Europe’s embattled
towns with catapaults and fiery
arrows, Liu's forces swept out of
the mountain fastnesses of Shan
taung province to within easy
traveling distance of Shanghai,
one of the world’s most modern
cities.
Only two weeks ago General
Liu’s bandit terrorists were Te
ported to have been crushed in
fierce fighting against the forces
of General Han Fu-Chu, embattled
governor of Shantung.
The bandits for two years have
plagued northern China.

Two photographs of a ' Swarthy

The disclosure added interest,
May said, to questioning of a man

WASHINGTON—(#)—At the re

bitter and at times highly personal
debate on the floor of the Seéata,‘
all the comment of both men which
violated rules of the Senate was

gressional record.. 4

Senate convened, made hg motion
first, : y RR A

infractions of the rules of the Sen:

having these facts in mind, that

from the record.”
Long Is Puzzled
Long, 'wh'o: ‘iidtened to Clark with,
a puzzled look ag the Missotfrian

ate:

“There are certain things I may

Clark~had been expected to re
new ‘the quarrel which Thursday
virtually halted Senate considera

Missourian set: this idea at rest
however, in his opening words,, by
saying:
“Upon reflection, T hLave con
cluded that it is both unjustifiable
and unnecessary in this time of
great distress to waste the time of
