PAROLES GRANTED
10 BURD AIDES
Lorton Prisoners Victims of
Circumstances, Board
States.
Contending its action should not be
construed as leniency toward gamb
ling, the Parole Board voted today to
parole 10 men who were convicted with
Sam Beard on charges of conspiracy
to violate the gambling laws.
Those who will be released from
Lorton Reformatory, where they have
served one year of one to three year
sentences, are William Carroll, James
’ T. Gallagher, Fred H, Heck, George
E. Hutchins, Melville G. Jacobs. Fred
J. Meese, Timothy H. Noel, Joseph
A. O'Callaghan, John J. Sortori and
William G. Smith.
For Public Interest.
“These men have no past records,
»nd it. is questionable whether the
sentences imposed were not somewhat
heavy under the circumstances,” the
board reported, "These men come
from good families and all of them
have employment available if granted
parole. Being first offenders and hav
ing the favorable recommendation of
the institutional officials, the board
feels that it is in the public interest to
release them under parole.
"This action should not be con
strued in any sense as leniency toward
gambling. The board is fully aware
of the seriousness of the gambling
situation, but does not look upon
these men as confirmed or habitual
gamblers, but as first offenders who
merely held minor position for a well
known Washington gambler.”
Criminal Record Larkin;.
The board pointed out that none of
the men had a prior criminal record
and added:
“They have nothing against them
except unlawful temporary employ
ment with a gambler at low salaries in
minor positions in a period of depres
sion when jobs were hard to get."
Parole was refused Lewis L. Levy
and Sidney Kaplan, who were caught
in the same round-up as the 10, be
cause they had past police records.
The men were arrested October 5,
1934, in a raid on an elaborately
J equipped gambling establishment in
an office building in the 900 block of
G street. They were sentenced in May,
1935, but remained at liberty on bail
Until last April.
Beard, long recognized as the city's
gambling overlord, was sentenced to
serve from two to six years. He was
sent to Atlanta.
INDIAN PUPILS CONTINUE
“UPRISING” FOUR DAYS
Protest Against Transfer of P in

by Interior Agent.
By the Associated Press.
MASSENA, N. Y., May 5.—Young
Indians of the St. Regis Reservation
went into the fourth day of their "up
rising” today in protest against the
transfer of their school principal. Earl
F. Martin, to the Tuscarora Reserva
tion.
While rumors spread that an in
vestigator from the Department of the
Interior was speeding from Washing
ton to study the situation, a petition
asking the retention of Martin and
his wife as teachers was signed by 18
Long House Council members and for
warded to the State Department of i
Education at Albany.
The pupils gathered in the school
yard yesterday, posting placards and
forming a picket line against any of
< their fellows who might have wanted
to attend classes.

royal romance could be forgotten but
, Edward was pictured as wanting to
make their home in Austria, whose
people, he feels, are close to him.
It was generally expected the mar
riage would be performed at the
chateau near here, a landmark in the
eld Touraine country.
The two were not pressed for time
in their home-making decision because
the duke, eager not to dim the glory
of his brother's coronation next week
in London, apparently had put off his
marriage plans.
It was learned in official quarters
that the Surete Nationale had been j
Instructed to protect Edward's young
est brother, the Duke of Kent, on a
trip into France May 18. This seemed
to indicate Kent would come here to
serve as Edward's best man at the
marriage, on or about that day.
Edward and his bride-to-be were
expected to remain at the chateau,
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.
Bedaux, during the coronation of
George VI. listening—as other mil

SiOP MIN * REMOVE CORNS
To merely remove com* and at the tame time not remove
the cause—shoe friction and pressure—can give you only
temporary relief at best. Soon they come back, usually big
ger, more tormenting than ever.
Insist on Dr. Scholl's Zino-pads and you need never be
troubled by corns. The instant you apply them, pain van
ishes, cause stops. Put these soothing, cushioning pads on red,
irritated toes caused by new or tight shoes, and you’ll stop
corns before they can develop and have no more discomfort.
Use them with the separate Medicated Disks included in
every box, and your corns or callouses lift out!
Dr. Scholl's Zino-pads are made in spgpial sizes for Corns,
Callouses, Bunions and Soft Corns between toes. Cost but a
trifle. Sold everywhere.
Wendel on Stand
Dramatically gesturing, Paul H. Wendel testified yesterday
at the trial of Ellis H. Parker, chief of Burlington County detec
tives, and his son, Ellis, jr. Wendel said Harry Weiss, one of
the men alleged to have aided in his kidnaping, told him “the
boss jo ho put the finger on you has the confide7ice of Gov.
Hoffman.” Wendel claims the Parkers and three others aided
in a kid7iaping conspiracy and that he was forced to “confess”
the Lindbergh kidnaping. The trial is being held in United
States District Court in Ne7oark, N. J. ' —a. P. Photo.
gang, Austria. In response to Mrs
Simpson's plea that he "hurry" to
her side, a wide array of pastimes
awaited them.
Golf, tennis, riding and swimming
all were available on the vast grounds
of the chateau which Bedaux. an in
dustrial engineer, bought nearly a
decade ago.
But Edward, appearing tired after
his train and automobile trip, was
expected to take things easy for a
few days. All was quiet on the estate
early today except for the slow, un
remitting patrols of Einglish detec
tives and French police over the
partly wooded grounds.
When the weather warms up, the
castle pool may appeal to the royal
visitor and his fiancee. After the
burst of sunshine that marked
Edward's arrival yesterday, a drizzling
rain set in. streaking the windows of
the room in which the members of
the house party sat up late in con
versation around a log fire.
Mrs. Simpson has become acquainted
with the showplaces of the countryside
during her stay and would be an
efficient guide if the duke chose to go
exploring.
A heavy steel box which the duke
brought to the chateau, closely guard
ed, aroused the speculation outside
that it might have contained jewelry,
possibly including an engagement ring
for Mrs. Simpson.
The duke and Mrs. Simpson spent
most of yesterday afternoon away
from the other chateau guests. When
a low flying airplane attracted their
attention, they leaned out of a central
tower window to watch it and gaze at,
the beautiful sunset before the evenin_
rain.
Only one incident—and this slight—
disturbed the idyllic atmosphere of
their reunion. A French cameraman
who sneaked into the castle grounds
during the afternoon, and hid among
rhododendron bushes for two hours,
was creeping up to the chateau to look
through the dining room window when
a Scotland Yard inspector collared
him.
SETTLEMENT REPORTED.
Royal Family to Give Duke >500,000,
London Hears.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, May 5.—The Duke of
Windsor and Mrs. Warfield Simpson
may live in the British colony of
Kenya, on the east coast of Africa,
according to the Daily Telegraph,
which has reported negotiations car
ried on in behalf of the duke to lease
the house of Mrs. Jerry Preston, at
Naivasha, in Kenya.
The preliminary arrangement, ac
cording to the report, was that the
house would be rented to the former
King for six months, with an option
to purchase. Naivasha is north of
Nairobi, the capital, on the shores
of Lake Naivasha. Mrs. Preston's
home is in what is known locally as
Happy Valley.
The duke visited Kenya as Prince

home when his father, King George V,
was seriously ill.
The royal family has derided to
give the duke £100,000 i about $500,0001
as a marriage settlement, it was re
ported last night. The interest on
this amount, together with money from
other sources, is expected to bring
Edward's annual income to about
£28,000 ($140,000). In the event that
the duke dies before the cfuchess the
income from the royal family's settle
ment would maintain the widow dur
ing her lifetime and relieve the royal
family from anxiety or embarrassment.
Most of the duke's annual income
is derived from property left to him
by Queen Victoria and from inherited
rights in Sandringham, Balmoral. Fort
Belvedere and other estates which he
has disposed of to the royal family
since his abdication.

Immediate Relief Associa
tion Funds to Be Shared
*
on Percentage Basis.
Amicable settlement of the dispute
over distribution of assets which split
the Municipal Immediate Relief Asso
ciation has been reached, Acting Pres
ident Thomas Costello announced to
day.
Costello said trustees of the associa
tion, which is composed of employes
of the District government, have re
versed their previous decision to dis
tribute the assets equally among the
members and will distribute them on a
percentage basis, with the amount paid
by each member as the determining
factors.
The dispute arose last month after
the association voted to disband. At a
I stormy meeting in the District Build
ing, the trustees announced their plan
J to distribute the assets equally. Debhte
became so heated that President Wil
liam Franklin left the chair and his
office was declared vacant.
Ringgold Hart, formerly principal
assistant corporation counsel, inter
vened in the dispute on behalf of vet
eran members of the association, who,
under the original plan, would receive
no more than the newest member who
had contributed less than a dollar to
the association.

JUDICATUREGROUP
Goodwin Proposes Adding
Three Justices to Insure
Constitutional Acts.
Judge Clarence N. Goodwin, Wash
ington attorney, American Judicature
Society Board chairman, proposed to
day that three justices be added to
the Supreme Court "to Insure that no
constitutional act of Congress be over
thrown.”
He told the society's annual meeting
at the Mayflower Hotel that advo
cates of President Roosevelt's bill to
authorize a maximum of IS Justices
pal Court to challenge the right of
the trustees to distribute the funds
equally.
Costello said the dispute arose as
a result of a misunderstanding among
the members and as soon as the facts
were presented there was unanimous
opposition to any plan which would
penalize veteran members of the as
sociation.
Franklin said he would drop his test
case as soon as the latest plan of the
trustees Is rati fled.
Assets of the association total 13,
499.13. There are 120 members. Pay
ments will approximate 64 cents on
each dollar in dues paid by the mem
bers under the latest plan, Coetello
said.

"Personally, I would add to this

Number of Judges Needed.
“How many constitutionally-minded
Judges must be added to insure that
no constitutional act of Congress will
be overthrown? The answer is clearly
three, for with an equally divided
court, an act of Congress still stands.
Beyond four there appears to be no

I would, therefore, suggest that the
situation complained of can be reme

the court at 12, or adding a proviso
to the bill under consideration that no
more than three of the authorized ad

1937 and one additional justice in each
