sides of the Tagus River, 50 miles
from Madrid, from which point
they can attack insurgent col
umns advancing toward the capi

NOLAN7A CES
BRIBERYTRIAL
William J. Nolan, prominent
local automobile dealer, went on
trial in United States District
Court on a charge of bribery.
The Indictment against Nolan
accuses him and Francis M. Car
ney of paying two colored per
sons. important witnesses in his
wife’s divorce suit, to leave the
city when the case was called for
hearing, and to remain out of the
jurisdiction.
Carney, represented by Michael
F. Keogh, a former assistant
United States attorney, entered
the unique plea of nolle contendere
as the case was called today.
Under the common law, such a
plea, while treated as a plea of
guilty, precluded the imposition
of a prison sentence and protected
the pleader from civil action as
a result of his plea. The effect
of such a plea under modern
practice was the subject of much
discussion among attorneys in
the courthouse.
Justice Proctor treated the
plea as a plea of guilty, however,
and took under advisement a re
quest of counsel to refer the case
to the probation officer.
Nolan, represented by Attorneys
R. H. Yeatman and George D.
Horning, entered a not guilty
plea and went to trial.
The two colored witnesses,
Charles and Mattie Young, will
be called for the Government and
it is reported that Carney may
“turn State’s evidence” and tes
tify against his former associate.

$100,000,000 Asked
For Army Air Force

in 1939. The higher officers ap
proved it, the staff approved it,
the Secretary of War approved it;
the President sent it to Congress,
which refused to appropriate
enough money.
The third year of the five-year
plan, with the Army Air Force
scarcely any more efficient in
number than it was on the first
day of the plan, is causing many
high officers of the Army to feel
that a drastic drive on Congress
must be undertaken before the
United States takes a ridiculously
poor position in the rear of the
procession.

Congress has been allowing the
Army about 33 million dollars a
year for its air force, including

plan, but even this huge sum nets
the Army only 50 planes more
than three years ago. The Army,
holding its breath, asks for nearly
a hundred million this year, it is
claimed by those in a position to
know.
Advances in the art and science
of aviation are partly responsible.
Huge bombing planes which are
known as “flying fortresses” cost
more money and need more offi
cers and men to run them.
The original five-year-plan ex
panded the personnel and brought
in more reserve officers, but the
new flying forts require two or
three times as many officers and
men as the bombers of two years
ago. For the reason that aviation
is advancing rapidly, therefore,
many conservative officers feel
that the delay in developing the
five-year plan is a safe thing to do.

Built in 1856
Its history goes back to 1856,
when the Government bought the
1.58 acres of land, on which the
lighthouse and its outbuildings
now stand, for $371.30. At the
time the lighthouse was built it
stood 1,300 feet from the water
i line and for years flashed its
beacon as a warning to ships to
stand offshore.
Twenty years later the ocean
had eaten into the shore line to
the extent that the lighthouse was

So effective were they that the I

CUMBERLAND
STRIKE PEACE
HOPE GROWS
City Quiet As Parley
Is Begun; Pickets,
Police Withdraw
CUMBERLAND, Md„ Nov. 30.
Peace and quiet reigned at the
Celanese Corporation plant here
today as a conference opened
which, it is hoped, will end the
three-week strike and send some
9,000 employes back to work.
The conference was held at the
plant, with Vice President Wil
liam McC. Cameron representing
the company, and officials of the
United Textile Workers and Col.
Frank Douglas, conciliator of the
Department of Labor, partici
pating.
Meanwhile, several hundred of
the striking workers paraded in
front of the plant, carrying
i American flags, but they were
orderly and there was no sign of
trouble.
Agreement Reached
Following the fighting of Friday
and Saturday, in which a number
of strikers and police were in
jured, an agreement was reached
today under which the picket line
will be withdrawn and all State
police taken away from the plant,
it was announced.
Major Enoch B. Garey, superin
tendent of State police, who was
booed by the strikers yesterday,
was also ordered by Governor Nice
to keep away from the plant.
The order to Major Garey came
after strike leaders had held a
number of conferences yesterday
and communicated with the gover
nor. More than 40 warrants have
been issued against participants in
the disorders of Friday and Satur
day but have not been served.
Federal Quiz Starts
Another Federal probe of the
strike started with the arrival
here of Bennet C. Shauffler, inves
tigator for the LaFollette sena
torial committee investigating
strikebreaking activities through
out the country.
He came here following reports
that members of a strike-breaking
outfit that has been active in the
I West Virginia coal fields had been
| brought here.
