kins, who sent the chestnut son
of Pennant and Swinging a slow
mile gallop. in preparation for a
mile and one-eight speed test to-
morrow.
Equipoise, accompanied by the
stables lead pony, logged once
around the course and acted like
a yearling. He looks fit and
when he works next Wednesday
afternoon, race fans will get a
chance to judge for themselves
whether he will win the closing
feature of the meeting or whether
his recent sickness has dimmed
his speed.

Derby.
Trainer j. w. Chg Jim) Healy,
who handles Mate, sent the chest

dra out for a speed test this morn
ing, and when he accomplished
the first mile in 1889 3-5 of his
mile and an eighth trial, Schut-
finger, who is in the market for a
top-notch 3-year-old, Immediately
hunted up Owner Bostwick and
made the offer.
In discussing the offer Bost-
wick said:
"When Mr.. Schuttinger first
made the offer, I thought he
was joking. However, he con-
vinced me that he would like
to possess Mate, but like every
other man I dearly love to own
q good thoroughbred, therefore
why should I Sell?"

Mates trial this morning was
the fastest any Preakness or
Kentucky Derby candidate has
turned in this spring in Mary

stake here on May 9, barring an
accident.

rubbed his face, and continued:
"Gee, this cabinet is hot.

sentence Of six months for con-
tempt of Federal court. His at

Capone was in a jocular mood.
He laughed uproariously and
talked without much urging by
his interviewer. He said:

Frank w. BalIou and his assist
ants.
Senator King is starting his in.
quiry without any preconceived
notions as to what should be done,
but with the very definite desire
to be helpful to the city's children.
Surveys Scope Is Wide
With that object in view his in.
vestigation will be sweeping. It
will embrace not only the physi.
cal needs of the system but the
curricula and personnel Of the
teaching and clerical staffs.
Congestion in the various
schools and the steps which are
being taken to overcome it: the
use Of portable SchoolSi obsolete
schools and means of doing away
with them; part-time classes and
their causes, all will be included
in Senator Kings study.
Senator King believes that
Washington should have the best
educational system in the cOun-
try and, so far as this can be
brought about by congressional
action, he intends to accomplish
it.
Congress is Generous
The record Of Congress on the
local school system, it is pointed
out. is exemplary. Virtually every
thing which has been asked for
the schools has been given. To
such an extent has the generosity
of Congress gone, in fact, that
when the last appropriation bill
was under consideration DR.. Bal
lou declared there was nothing
more which could be asked, and
that the bill provided everything
which the school officials sought.

RADIO BARRAGE
To OPEN DRIVE
FOR HOOVER
Nine of Ten Cabinet Members
to Defend Administration;
Seen As Opening Gun of '32
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
A sweeping defense of Hoover
policies, all down the line, will be
launched tomorrow on a national
scale, with members of President
Hoover's Cabinet bearing the
brunt Of the undertaking.
Criticized by the Democrats,
plagued by frequent thrusts from
the Republican prOgressives, the
Administration "beSt minds" have
decided upon q general offensive
to convince the country that hard
as the times are, they would
have been still more difficult but
for the policies inaugurated and
carried out under Mr.. HOover's
direction.
Radio Barrange Planned
Nine of the 10 members Of the
Cabinet will go on the air in the
next few weeks to present various
phases of Administration activity.
Their addresses will be broadcast
on a national hook-up Of the
Columbia chain, with Secretary
of the Interior Wilbur leading
off tomorrow night.
Secretary Wilbur will be fol-
lowed successfully by Attorney
General Mitchell, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, Secretary of
War Hurley, Postmaster General
Brown, Secretary Of the Navy
Adams, secretary of Agriculture
Hyde, Secretary Of Commerce
Lamont and Secretary of Labor
Doak.
Only Secretary of State Stim.
son is missing from the list, and
it is probable he will be drawn
into. the program before it iS
concluded.
In poll icaI quarters here, the
Cabinet offensive is regarded as
really marking the beginning Of
the Hoover campaign of 1882,
which has for its objective, Of
course, the denomination and re-
election of the President. 1t fur.
niSheS q sort of prelude to the
speaking tour which Mr.. Hoover
himself will make in Ohio, Indi-
ana a nd Illinois next month.
All Have Been Targets
All Of the departments have
been targets for criticism by the
Democrats and Insurgent Repub-
llcanS in one way or another.
Secretary Wilbur was severely cri-
ticized during the last session for
his power policy, and for other
policies having to do with the
public domain.
Similarly, the Department Of
Justice has come in for frequent
criticism for allegedly failing to
enforce the antitrust laws. Attor.
ney General Mitchell, who follows
Secretary Wilbur, may be expect
ed to reply to the criticisms. And
Secretary Mellon, who probably
has been the most "shot at" Sec
retary of the Treasury since Alex.
ander Hamilton, probably will not
lose the opportunity to defend his
fiscal policies when he follows
Wilbur on May %.
Largest Offensive Yet
Political Interpretation Of the
'abinet offensive is, Of course, dep
recated in Administration quar-.
tiers. OstenSibly, the Cabinet of.
ficers are going on the air for the
instruction and education Of the
country on the work of their
various departments.
Actually, they are going to de-
fend themselves aQd the Admins
tration against the almost con-
slant succession of attacks from
Anti-Administration sources. It is
Cabinet offensive on a scale
that Washington and the country
have never witnessed before.

WAR BARRACKS
EASE CONVICT
CONGESTION
Justice Department Admits
Temporary Camps Are Used
Pending New Construction

Overcrowding of Federal prison
camps, established to relieve the
load on already congested Federal
prisons, has brought new worries
to the Department of Justice.
Officials today admitted condi-
tions at Chillicothe, Ohio, criti.
cized severely by the Wickersham
law enforcement commission,
obtain to some degree in other
places where temporary barracks
are maintained.
Army Camps Used
With the advent of prohibition
and increase in other crimes, the
population of Federal prisons rose
steadily for years, and finally
Congress approved $1,000 900
expansion program. Even this
program, it was admitted, would
not solve the situation.
To provide relief while new
prisons are being built, prison
camps in old World War army
camps. including Camp Lee, Va;
Camp Bragg, N. c.; Camp Meade,
Md, and Camp Wadsworth, N.
Y, have been established.
In its report ON the child
offender, issued last week, the
WickerSham commission con-
demned old Army barracks al
ChillicOthe, saying they are in
poor repair, crowded, unSanitary
and not fireprOOf.
The criticism of the commits.
sion, together with exposure Of
the payment of large sums of
money by penitentiary prisoners
seeking transfer to camps, has
thrown them into the limelight,
with the result that the Justice
Department is fearful of more
criticism.
Official Explains
Admitting the situation Is
unsatisfactory, but defending the
camps, a Justice Department
official said:
"MOst of the buildings in
prison camps are temporary.
They are wooden structures,
some of the type the Wicker
sham commission condemned.
"Only men who have good
behavior records and are eligible

to parole are sent to camps.
The camps are crowded.
There have been no cpl
denies and the health record
is good. This Is largely due
to the rigid physical inspection
and the fine medical branch of
the prison division"

Communist Strikes

Whenever serious labor trouble de- velops, it IS likely that Communist agents will appear and that some of them at least will attempt to stir up the workers to some radical action. As result people who want to work may be menaced with physl- cal injury, and perhaps actually assaulted. The Communist influence usually encour- ages the strikers 10 stand out for extreme demands. How can employers and the com munity meet forms of propaganda that cre- ate so much bitterness, and make 1t hard to obtain harmony and co-operaton! The Communist philosophy calls for class war fare and insists that there is necessary and inevitable conflict between employers and employees.
 This doctrine is contrary to common sense When employers have trouble in earning profit. wages will always be poor and work irregular. And when business IS profitable, employers bid high for labor. they pay good wages and are liberal in mak- ing concessions. The interests of the two elements are identical. Employers should make sure that their policies are fair and just. If they do not give the workpeople a reasonable chance for an American stand ard of living, then the Communist agitator has an argument that he can use.
 But times are not easy now. many bust ness concerns have difficulty in obtaining a new dollar for an old one. and people who have put their money into business are entitled to some return from it. Wage earners should consider these conditions in making demands. The service of some peace maker is called for. some eoneiliator broad minded enough to sympathize with both sides. and suggest reasonable basis for agreement. In the long run reason will triumph over unreason.

Relieving Highway Congestion

Last Memorial Day will be remembered, among other things, as the occasion of the greatest highway congestion in history.
 The roads surrounding every great city from New York to San Francisco were Jammed to the breaking point. Speed of traffic was reduced to d mere crawl. lraffie officers found themselves with an lnsoluble problem on their hands. Narrow roads, inadequate roads. detours. were the means of delaying hundreds of thousands of mo- torsts and. of greater importance. of eaus- ina multitude of accidents. The moral is that we need more and wider roads in all sections of the country. Traffic conges- tions, even on normal days is increasingly onerous.
 Secondary roads, connecting main arter- ies of travel with rural, semi-isolated areas are becoming more important and offer perennial attraction to the motorst. They take him away from the congestion that IS the bane of automobile travel - and they likewise take him into new country and show him new vstas. Full-width, weather proof roads of this character suitable for fair amount of traffic. can be built at fraction of the cost of main highways and as traffic requires. surfaces can be built up with local materials and asphaltlc binders to the necessary thickness.

Autumn's Coming

Here it is August and only month or so to go before school begins. How about the ehildren's teeth' All in good shape and the dentist says SO? How about their eyes? Need glasses or the old ones changed! Now's the time to attend to such things, not in the rush of the last week or after the term has opened.
 Are music lessons coming. this year? It's a fine time now to talk the matter over. as soon as the teachers are back from vacations. An early start of two or three weeks before school may mean gain of that many months on the years learning and accom- plishing.
 How about clothes! Never were charm ing materials so cheap. Empty time pals a little about now. Sister would probably love to make herself some print dresses for the first warm weeks and maybe skirt or two to wear with the seasons delightful sweaters later on. Such fun to choose. and with little help such fun to make. such joy to wear. such justified pride!

knows and loves her native land and is vitally interested in its salvation.
 Recently she learned that the chairman of the Shantung provisional government. General Han Flu Gnu. was about to cast his lot with the rebel forces. Minutes were vital. Madame Chiang telegraphed her life- long friend, Madame Han Flu Gnu. and arranged visit. Over pot of tea the two ladies ehatted. The subjects discussed have not been revealed. but the result is plain.
 Very soon after that tea party General Han Flu Gnu announced his determination to support Chiang Ka Shek wholeheartedly. The story suggests charming combination of domesticity and politics which occidental ladies might well emulate.
