WASHINGTON, March 8. (AP) While President Roosevelt and other notables stood with uncovered heads In a heavy sleet storm, the body of Oliver Wendell Holmes was burled to day among the nation's military heroes tn Arlington national cemetery. Only partly sheltered by a canopy, the president stood with uncovered head as the distinguished Jurist's cas ket was lowered Into a grave. When the casket on a black-draped caisson arrived at the grave the p real dent already was waiting on the arm of the military aide. Mrs. Roosevelt, who attended fun eral services In All Souls Unitarian church, took her position beside her husband as soldiers bore the body to Its resting place. The president's face was solemn and hla eyes blinked rapidly aa the words of the 23rd Psalm were repeat ed by the Rev. Dr. Ulysses G. B. Pierce. Seven o"f the nine Justices of the supreme court bowed with the presi dent as soldiers fired a parting salute and a bugler sounded taps. Justices Brandies and Van Devanter ' did not venture out Into the weather , Several hundred persons braved a chill wind blowing flurries of snow to stand outside All Souls Unitarian church on upper Sixteenth street, as the Reverend Dr. Pierce conducted a simple funeral service. It Included a brief scriptural read ing, solemn music and the reading of one of Mr. Holmes favorite poems. There were seats for less than 100 of the general public, admitted to the gallery.

Y KILLED, WOUNDED , IN HOHATILE (Continued from Page One) rebel ranks. The soldiers. It waa re ported, were demanding arrangement whereby the command be passed to non-commissioned officers. General Kondylls, who dropped his war portfolio to direct the govern ment's action waa handicapped by heavy weather and faced further difficulties in the Struma river eec-J tlon because the stream, swollen by rains and melting snow overflowed Its banks and flooded the entire district. Sol newa of the operations of the rebel fleet Indicated it was' resorting to reprisals as a result of the Turkish embargo on Greek ships placed at the request of the Athens government. A report from Istanbul said the rebel flagship Averoff had stopped the Turkish steamer Konla which was en route to Smyrna and conducted It to Mytilene. General Kondylls unleashed his plane attack after Premier Tsaldarls received a report from the minister of war that yesterday's aerial efforts "were In vain." During the previous efforts two of the planes were forced to return be cause of fog and one fell In a gale. The crew were saved by using para chutes. General Kondylls said: "Toe front action has been feeble. We have been working on uniting the organ!' zatlon. General Panaglotakos has Just returned from the front and says our army's morale la excellent. In another declaration KondylJs reiterated that the government troops will occupy Ka valla "forty-eight hours after the weather permits an attack." and declared "Venlzeloe has lost the game" because the government has control of Athens, Lartssa and Salon ika.

Johnson, former NBA head, but few would comment. "What did you think of it?" Sena tor Bilbo (D., Miss), was asked. "He didn't say anything to make me think," he replied. The senate post office committee planned Its fifth successive meeting behind closed doors late today to act on Long's resolution for an investiga tion of Postmaster-General Farley. Clark Charges Pemagoguery It was Senator Clark (D.. Mo.), who has frequently challenged Long's tac tics on the floor, who hurled the "demagoguery" retort to the "king fish's" charge that the whole "Roose velt crowd" was out to get him be cause he had informed the world their "tangled messes and noble ex periments would not work.1 Observers noted thai, after assail ing the new dent as a "St. Vitus dance" and Hugh S. Johnson as a general who "never smelled powder or heard a cap snap," the Louisiana dictator seized the opportunity to attempt, before his huge radio audi ence, to hammer home his "share the wealth" Ideas. They wondered if that were not an emphatic new indication of an ef fort to gather strength for the 1036 campaigns In which some observers foresee the possibility of a third party movement. Joke to Jolt n son. Of the men who hare struck at Long In the past few days, only Johnson had any Immediate com ment on last night's speech. The former blue eagle chief who Is In Providence. Rhode Island, said: "It's a great Joke" and for the time being let it go at that. He Is saving his fire until after Father Charles E. Coughlln of Detroit replies Monday night to the Johnsonian charge that both the priest and the Louisiana ren a tor are demagogues appealing to the "abused babies" of depression Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader who has tangled with Long on the senate floor, tuned in on the speech last night, but had no comment. He told newsmen who talked with him while the speech was going on that he hadn't heard anything to which he wanted to reply. Sen. Rnllev I'nlnterented. Senator Bailey of North Carolina. another whom Long has threatened to send to political oblivion, said he hadn't heard the speech and "wasn't interested." Neither wiw Senator Byrd. Virginia Democrat who denounced Long as a demagogue In a recent speech. Long flailed hla arms as much aa over as he contended In the rarito speech that the White House had de clared war on him and chosen "the late and lamented, the pampered ex crown prince" of the blue eagle to make the "lead-off speech." But the "Klngflsh" departed from his custom In one respect he had prepared a manuscript, which he fol lowed part of the time. One of his departures from It was his disparag ing reference to Johnson "a military prowess. Another waa hla contention that when Johnson went otit of NRA he prepared "a blistering statement" which never saw the light of day. , run pit by Wall Street. The reason it was suppressed, he said, was that "Wall Street might want to loan him to some other president In the future." Once he changed a more elegant appellation for his foes to the phrase "those birds opposing me." "God save the country from the I misery and distress of that gang." he i said. To the support of his plan to cut the wealth of all rich men down to 13.000.000 or 4.000.000 and otherwise distribute riches, he summoned the Bible and the compact made by the Pilgrim fathers. "While my urgings are declared by some to be the ravings of a mad man." he said, "and by such me.s as General Johnson as insincere bait of a pled piper, If you will listen to me you will find that it is restating1 the laws handed down by God to j man." Of Johnson, he said that "this erstwhile prince of the deranged alphabet makes ready to appear at the funeral of NRA like unto the cotored lady in Mississippi who there asserted: 'I la de wife of dese remains'." Soys He's Target. I Declaring that "the Roosevelt ad ministration. Mr. Johnson. Mr. Far- 1 ley. Mr. Astor and all their spoilers and upell binders" are gunning for him because they think he is the 'cause of their misery." he said: "They are like old Davy Crockett. who went out to hunt a possum. He saw In the gleam of the moon light that a possum In the top of the tree waa going from limb to limb. He shot and missed. He saw tho pos sum again. He fired a second time and missed again. Soon he discovered that it was not a possum he saw at all In the top of that tree. It was a louse In his own eyebrow." Same Set of Cooks. The "kitchen cabinets" under Presi dents Roosevelt and Hoover were the same, he said "maybe you see a lit tle change In the man waiting on the tables, but back In the kitchen the same Bet of cooks," Mr. Hoover's plan, he said, was to plow up every foxirth row of cot ton, but Mr. Roosevelt plowed up every third row. "So It has been that while millions have starved and gone naked; so it has been that while babies have cried and died for milk; so It haa been that while people have begged for meat and bread Mr. Roosevelt's ad ministration has sailed merrily along." As for NRA. he said it became a i "national scandal." Johnson went i out "as the scapegoat" and If an NRA parade were called now "you couldn't get enough people for a funeral march." "More men are now out of work than ever." he said, "the debt ot the United States has gone up an other ten billion dollars, tfhere Is starvation; there Is homelessness: there is misery on every hand, and corner, but mtnd you. In the mean time, Mr. Roosevelt has had. his way." "I Told You So" Irks. He said that he had told "Hoover's crowd It wouldn't do" and had given the same warning to "Roosevelt's crowd." Now. he said, "they are In a rage t Huey Long because I have nald T told you so." The senate post office committee was expected to make a decision soon on Long's demand for a sweeping in vestigation of Postmaster General Farley, The committee received yes terday from Farley a denial of all new charges Long recently filed against him. Norman H. Davis. American am bassador at large, who waa named by long In connection with the fi nancial incident, tcld reporters there was "not one word of truth in the charge aa It related to me."

The board, with Ickes approval, overruled the contention of previous employe representatives that results of an employe election should be determined by departments. "It is the belief of the board." the decision said, "that section 7. article 3 of the petroleum cede crystallizes a legislative Intent to give employes economic strength In their relation ship with their employers. "It Is obvious that this streiietri Is only effective to the extent that It represents the opinion or desire of many as against the opinion or desire of an Individual or few.
