STOCKS CRASH
FAILS TO HURT
EMPLOYMENT
Federal Agencies Check on
Damage inflicted by
Selling Storm.
BY JOSEPH NJ. BAIRD
United Press Stah Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-While
the so-called man in the street
wore a broader smile today as the
result of the upward turn in the
stock market. government agencies
we're busy calculating the damage
inflicted by the recent storm Of sell
ing.
There won't be so much tinsel on
Americas Christmas tree this year
but there will be a tree" Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Klein told
the United Press.
October reports do not indicate
that the recent financial upheaval
disturbed industry or cause any re-
duction in employment, which is
self-evident proof that industry fun
damentally is sound" the United
states employment service said in its
regular monthly statement.
Crash Signs Invisible
Klein declined to predict whether
the present upward movement of
recovery or the result of an artificial
stimulant in the form of protective
investments by big interests. He
declared his faith, however, in the
essential soundness of business.
None Of the customary signs of
a business crash are visible" he
said. There is a steady adjustment
between supply and demand.
Wholesale prices are relatively low.
Taking the year 1926 as the normal
basis Of 100, wholesale prices now
are 933. Inventories, how no con-
gestion Of stocks
Klein said the brunt of stock de-
clines would be felt in luxury lines
and that most productions in this
class are imported. Hence, a recess
sion in these lines will not reduce
American employment, he said.
Steel on Decline
The employment bureaus state
ment noted an increased demand for
workers in the boot and shoe in
dustry. plants making radios and
jewelry-Soon to be in demand as
Christmas presents-shipyard and
highway construction crews.
Automobile factories employed
fewer men in October than in
previous months because they were
changing models of cars. The steel
industry suffered a sympathetic de-
cline as the demand for it from
automobile factories decreased.
Conditions in the textile industry
are far from satisfactory" and
fewer jobs were available last month
in the building trades.

Mystery Play To
Be Seen Sunday

The mystery play of the year
."Thc Drake Case,' will be shown
tomorrow night at Fox Imperial
Theatre, with an all star east in
Guiding Gladys Brockwell, James
Crane, Barbara Leonard, Tommy
Dugan, Robert Frazer and Forrest
Stanley.
Gripping in its human interest
"Thc Drake Case' tells the story OF
a woman accused OF murder, who
refuses to say word in her own de-
fensc although she flatly denies hav-
ing committed the crime. This
throws an unusually heavy burden
on the lawyer who is defending her
and his method Of extricating her
and himself from seemingly i'm
possible position, furnishes the sur.
prise and thrill of the picture.
Stanley, who plays opposite Miss
Brockwell in the leading role, has
had long career Of stage successes.
Those who saw "The Return Of
Sherlock Holiness last night are
lavish in their praise of the splen
did acting Of Give Brook, which is
the outstanding feature in a picture
that is truly remarkable.

WOMAN FINDS
CHRYSLER EASY
ON LONG DRIVE

The old idea Of a woman's place
being anywhere except behind the
steering wheel is fast becoming a
myth. Her accomplishments i'll the
last decade, over land and sea, by
airplane. spccdboat and motor car
have revised n. previous concep-
tions of feminine capabilities.
That transcontincntal trips by au
tomobile no longer hold terror for
the modern driver is seen by a let
ter recently received by j. w
Frazer, general sales manager fot
the Chrysler Corporation at Detroit
from Miss Jessit McCauley, of Val
lejo, Calf, who covered the 1907
miles from the Chrysler factory at
Detroit to San Francisco, in five
days and l3 hours, an average of ap
proximately 60D miles a day, in a
new Chrysler coute.
The drive was an unusually severe

made the entire trip without break

WARRANT IS ASKED
AGAINST OFFICER
Illegal Entry Laid to Vice
Squad Leader, but Judge
Fails to Act.

Sergt. Oscar J. Letterman, commander
Of the vice squad, again came into the
lmelight yesterday after a brief period
of comparative inactivity.
A refusal to ''act at this time" was
made by Judge John P. Mcmahon in
Police Court, when Attorneys James A.
OShea and John H. Burnett, counsel
for Palmer Sewers, requested that a
warrant be issued charging the squad
commander with illegal entry
The request followed the appearance
OF Sewers in court, presented by his
attorneys, who invited Sergt. Letterman
to take him into custody for an offense
with which the vice squad commander
previously had tried to connect him.
1t was said that Sergt. Letterman con-
Quoted raid in the 1000 block of U
street last Tuesday on an establishment
in which games were suspected to be in
progress. Despite the fact that Sewers
is said to have been in the place, Let
terman failed to take him into custody
and preferred charges.
When Burnett and O'Shea attempted
to surrender Sewers to Letterman yes
terday, the sergeant would not arrest
him. and following his refusal the at
torneys t1timated that Letterman was
not armed with warrant when he
entered the q street premises.
Assistant United States Attorney
Joseph c. Bruce was informed of the
situation, but refused to issue a war
rant and suggested that the matter be
brought TO the attention of Judge Nc
Mahon. The attorneys appeared before
the court and informed Judge NC
Mahon that recent decision of the
Court Of Appeals made it necessary for
judges to sign all warrants that were
issued, but Mcmahon refused to act.
Burnett and O'Shea then intimated that
a complaint would be filed against the
officer before Maj. Henry G. Pratt, chief
Of police.
