HUTTON ATTORNEY
HITS S. E. C. TACTICS
Charges Counsel With "TJnconsti
tutional'' Search and Seizure
of Firm's Records.
David W. Peck, attorney for W. E.
Hutton <fe Co., charged yesterday
that Securities Commission counsel
was guilty of "unconstitutional and
unwarranted search and seizure" of
private records.
Peck leveled the accusation at Coun
sel Jacob Gruber during a hearing
into the commisison's charge that the
Hutton brokerage firm manipulated
stock of Atlas Tack Corp.
Peck objected to Gruber's examina
tion of some of the monthly accounts
of Hutton customers who bought Atlas
stock. He protested use of any
monthly statements which did not
show purchases or sales or holdings
of Atlas stock, while Gruber contended
- all the accounts must be studied to
understand the ramifications of trans
actions in Atlas.

INADEQUATE AIRPORTS
HIT BY RICKENBACKER
Most Eastern Fields, One Here In
cluded, Held Incapable of
Handling New. Big Planes.
A warning broadcast today by Capt.
Edward V. Rickenbacker, general
manager of Eastern Airlines, that con
ditions at most airports along its routes
are not adequate to handle the new
21-passengers airliners soon to be in
stalled on most schedules, was directed
in part at Washington, airline officials
admitted.
Washington Airport cannot be used
by the big planes with full load, it was
pointed out by local officials of the
line. It is not considered safe to at
tempt operations here with more than
a third of the full fuel load, and under
certain wind conditions it is probable
Washington will be dropped as a
scheduled stop.
"Municipalities whose airports are
either too small or poorly maintained
cannot expect to participate in the
faster and more luxurious services
which 21-passenger equipment will
ofTer,” Rickenbacker said.
Civic shortsightedness is in a large
part responsible for existing airport
conditions, he added.
Between the years 1140 and 1815, a
period of 670 years, England was at
war with France for 266 years.

Herb Pennock and accompanied Mrs.
Cronin to the hospital. Aa soon as
the babies were born and his wife's
condition became apparent, Cronin
notified Griffith at the Washington
training camp at Orlando, but said
it would not be necessary for him or
Mrs. Griffith to come to Sarasota.
The babies were baptized at birth
by the nurse at the request of the
father and mother, both Catholics.
Cronin was still managing the
Washington ball club when he mar
ried Mildred June Robertson at St.
Matthew's Church on September 27,
1934.
In addition to losing Cronin tem
porarily, the Red Sox also will be
without the services of two other play
j ers. Oscar Melillo, second baseman,
and Shortstop Eric McNair. Melillo
left for Chicago today on receipt of
word that his wife’s condition had
taken a turn for the worse following
the birth of a son about a week ago.
McNair is visiting his motherless baby
at Meridian, Miss. Mrs. McNair re
i cently died at childbirth.

MORRO CASTLE PAIR
VICTORS IN APPEAL
Court Reveries Verdict That Con
victed Capt. Warms and
Abbott.
tfy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 8.—The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yes
terday unanimously reversed a lower
court verdict that convicted Capt. Wil
liam F. Warms and Chief Engineer
Eben Abbott of criminal negligence
in the liner Morro Castie disaster.
The Circuit Court ruled the evi
dence was insufficient. It completely
exonerated Warms of charges of mis
management in the fire that took 134
lives off the New Jersey coast In Sep
tember, 1934, and ruled that instruc
tion* to the Jury on some of the
charges against Abbott were incom
plete.
The reversal sets aside prison sen
tences of two and four years imposed
on Warms and Abbott, respectively, In
January, 1936. They have been free
on ball during appeal.
The United States attorney’s office
said last night the appellate decision
leaves the Government the alterna
tive of dropping the indictments or
retrying the case, but that retrials
In cases of reversals were not cus
tomary.
Warm's -master’s license was sus
pended for 90 days in February, 1935,
but his chief mate's license and Ab
bott’s chief engineer's license were re
stored the following May.
