House Scores Victory On Military Censures WASHINGTON, April 25 W.

The House Military Committee chalked up its first major victory today in an effort to have the War Department censure army officers the committee charges with business misconduct. In a short letter to Chairman Mc Swaln, S. C), Secretary Dern reported that Colonel Joseph McMul len had been rebuked for "scandalous'' misconduct in allegedly accepting legal fees from firms dealing with the government and swinging business to a law firm In which a relative was employed. Dern's action encouraged the committee to Intensify its efforts to have Major Oeneral Benjamin D. Foulols, Chief of Air Corps, censured for what It charges were Irregularities in aviation equipment procurement.

The receivers, warren T. Acker, late R. C. Fine and Rexford Maxey, who is now residing in California, are to receive $2,500 each. Attorney W.

J. Pttsgerald, counsel for the receivers, will also get $2,500. The remaining $12,000 will go towards payment of costs and meeting obligations Incurred during the receivership. Following the sale, Judge Watson confirmed the receivers' report nisi. Exceptions were taken by the Miners' National Bank of Wllkes Barre, which institution held a mortgage of about $1,800,000 on the property, and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for taxes assessed on gross Income.

Judge Watson's ruling confirms the account of the receivers absolutely as well as giving the receivers' claims precedence. Operated More Than $5 Tears The company operated for more than twenty five years as a trolley carrier between Scranton and the Ablngtons and Lake Wlnola. It also served residents of the Notch section, as the Scranton Transit lines did not extend west on Market Street. With the advent of the automobile and the final elimination of the toll road through Chinchilla, the carrier began to lose transportation business, both in freight and passengers. In 1930, the road went into a receivership.

It was operated for a time by the employes who accepted pro rata shares of the revenue for wages. When the work of widening the Notch Road was started a few years ago, the line was abandoned. Since then busses have been serving the Ablngtons, and the Scranton Bus Company placed the No. 23 School bus on Its schedule for the accommodation of passengers residing in the Notch section. All of the assets, rolling stock, wires, rails, were sold at a receivers' sale.i Judge Watson cited several decisions to uphold the contention.

of the priority of the receivers' claims. He declared that the receivers, appointed on Oct. 91, 1830, worked diligently and conscientiously, "and made every effort to operate the railroad and serve the public." The court also stated the receivers later reported they were without funds to pay employes of current obligations, that the deficit was Increasing and ''that a continuance of operation would not be Justified." "Under those conditions I consider it the duty of the court to order the sale of the property divested of liens. It is clear that this court has the Jurisdiction and power to order such a sale," the opinion read. In regard to the mortgage, Judge Day Sale! ti.i'VfiVnin Watson said that the Miners' Bank never protected the receivership.

"The mortgage to the Miners' Bank of Wllkes Barre, trustee, was given by the scranton, Binghamton and Montrose Railroad Company in 1919 and has been in default of for many years. The trust officer testified that he knew of the appointment of the receivers about the time they were appointed, and that, subsequently, he sat in conference with them. The trustee never objected to the receivership nor to the operation of the road by the receivers, from which the receivers' expenses were incurred," the court observed. The court also remarked that the receivership continued for one year and the Miners' Bank made no move to foreclose Its mortgage which was. dated Oct.

1, 1019. Harilon Answers Plea for Signal Says Light in South Side Not Needed Director of Public Safety James T. Hanlon yesterday forwarded to Council a letter in which he said that an investigation of traffic conditions has shown that the installation of a trafflo light at Pittston Avenue and Breck Street is not warranted. Members of the Parent Teacher Association of the James Garfield (No. 11) School had petitioned the Councllmen to have a light placed at the Intersection.

Director Hanlon pointed out that "stop" signs have been erected and that since Breck Street is unpaved, there is not sufficient traffic on It to Justify the installation of a light. The public safety executive also told Council that he will "vigorously urge" the New York, Ontario as Western Railroad Company to install a flasher signal at its grade crossing on Gilbert Street, North Scranton. Councilman Oeorge W. Mackie had asked for this action. 1 Hotel Loughran Whole hl lb.

"The actual placing of federal money on the line for states to match in the support of various forms of child welfare may well prove to be one of the most significant steps In the recovery program," the speaker said. Mr. Murphy, who also defendeu the provisions for children in the Security Act, criticized those who are attempting to destroy the present State Emer gency Relief Administration.

"To place its enormous powers over the relief needs of families and children in the hands of outworn poor law system seems to express a return to the dangerous philosophy that inertia alone can save and uphold the state," Mr. Murphy "Families and children are caught between the crossfire of opposing groups," he continued. "The resistance and blindness of responsible men and women are the essence of cruelty. No one questions that mistakes have been made in the administration of unemployment relief. But it should be clear to anyone who will look at the facts that for three years this service has prevented grave suffering and neglect and saved the Commonwealth from outbreaks and other grave Out of One Prison, Gerod Now in Another Listed as a fugitive from justice here, Metteo Gerod, 33, 1513 Lafayette Street, was in a cell at the County Jail yesterday after having spent nearly seven months in the Luzerne County Prison.

Local police nabbed him as he was released there. The Luzerne County sentence Involved a charge of stealing equipment owned by C. O.

Institutes, which are not open to the public, will be held this morning and this afternoon.

Among the Institutes held yesterday was one on "A Rural Background as It Affects Social Work," which was led by Miss Bessie D. Chantler, field repre sentative of the Travelers' Aid Maxwell Answers urines Mr. Maxwell in his speech defended the State Department of Welfare and the functions of the private social igencies, but warned his audience igainst being carried away by hasty renerallzations about the federal and itate relief programs. Criticism of relief administration ias swung from protests against delay in granting relief to the problem )f "Chiseling," he said. "If we took at face value an of the letters we receive or the fanfare of investigating committees we irould believe that thousands are shiselers and millions of dollars are Ming wasted," the speaker continued.

"We are so apt to lose our sense of proportion and it is so easy to generalize on the basis of the facts we lave or what we consider facts." Mr. Maxwell suggested as a remedy tor chiseling a better control of intake, smaller case loads for visitors and ntore intensive field work under competent supervision. The problem of relief, he said, is forcing legislative bodies to face human problems that have been disregarded and neglected, which he con fers zortunate in mat it win promote 'ogress in the expansion of public iponsibilitles. In urging that the point of train and experience be stressed as a lUlslte for positions with govern it relief and social agencies, Mr. ell declared, "We know that the spoils' system has almost nothing in Its favor and that even civil service or merit systems have the drawback of hampering rapid development on the Job and retaining those who fail tOkgrow in usefulness.

Unless we can greatly raise the level of performance lot those engaged in public service many of our new public responsibilities are bound to be ineffectually handled." Private Agencies' Problems The problems confronting the private social agencies at the present time, Mr. Maxwell said, are confusing regarding the public program, the reduction in the incomes of contributors and the gift tax legislation now before the state Senate. "In all public discussions we need to make it clear," Mr. Maxwell said, "that there is a partnership between the public and private agencies. iPubttfl funds and public agencies must carry the enormous burden of relief but the private agencies still remain In the reservoir of the wisdom of long experience in dealing with human problems, a resource which must be conserved and kept alive and vigorous through, service.

"Through other channels we must make sure of recognition of the principles that those who voluntarily tax themselves for the good of essential community service should not be penalised by a special tax on their gifts. Such a tax at (his time would be a serious blow to the support of all social work throughout the state. Fortunately, the original gift tax bill as introduced in the House has been amended to exempt gifts for charitable purposes. We must be sure that the necessity of this amendment is made clear to the Senate." Says New Deal Nearer Mr. Areson, In defending the Fed eral Social Security Bill, said that it brings appreciably nearer a genuine MW deal for a great many children.

This arrangement means that business' establishments and billboards will be kept off the land abutting directly on the new road. In addition, it is understood, the Councllmen are planning to put through an ordinance which will prohibit the erection of billboards within 000 or 700 feet of the highway. The I legislators have asked Lester M. Davis, superintendent of building inspection, to issue no permits for billboards pending the disposition of the zoning question.
