PEGGY GIVES UP
$4,000 GEM

NEW YORK, July "a U.S).
This is news: Peggy Hopkins
Joyce is on the giving, rather
than on the receiving, end of
gems.
It's a $4,000 diamond-studded
necklace. She offered it to the
Government. And the Govern,
ment, not being a suitor for
Peggy's favor, today indicated it
would accept.
Peggy's offer was not too en-.
thusiastic. 1t seems her maid
some time ago forgot to declare
certain items brought into port.
The Government decided her
maids oversight would set Peggy
back $4,000. The $4,000 bauble
is compromise.

HEARST s LOAN
PLAN HAILED
BY DAVIS
Former U. S. Labor Chief,
Now Senator, Sees It as
Sure to Restore Prosperity
BY JAMES J. DAVIS :


u. 8. Senator from Pennsylvania
Sound plans which assure the
etabilization Of our entire eco
nomic structure merit my ap'
proval. William Randolph Hearst
appears to have conceived such a
plan in his proposal to establish
Q $1,000, ,000, 900 sinking fund for
the immediate promotion Of needed
Federal construction projects. His
plan seems to possess logical
vision and substantial foundation.
Oddly enough it echoes many OF
Che essential points Of a similar
plan which I conceived and dis
cuSSed with several Of my friends,
who are prominent in the fields
of agriculture, labor. finance and
industry. One Of them, a noted
banker in Pittsburgh, said:
"The most practical way for
the United States to come out
Of the economic depression, Is
through the help Of gigantic
construction and public work
programs inaugurated by our
nation. our States and our
cities"
Immediate Help Seen
Mr.. Hearst's plan is in harmony
with this sage and expert opinion.
The creation Of a $4,000, ,00O, 900
fund by the Federal Government
would permit the immediate COM
mencement of a vast program Of
needed Federal construction prof.
ects, which would provide employ
ment opportunities for most of
our jobleSs men and women, and
which would do much to Danish
the menace of a dole.
All in all, the start of such a
vast program of construction by
the Federal Government would
prime the motor of business ac-
tivity and prime the pump OF
prosperity for our farmers. And,
national prosperity in its fullest
scope would be revived, for when
the purse of the farmer and the
nay envelope of the workman are
well filled national prosperity is
inevitable.
Pay Assured
Moreover, the great volume of
sound public work which could
be carried out by such a plan,
as sponsored by Mr.. Hearst, would
accelerate the Federal projects
now being undertaken through
the limitations of the Wagner
law, which permits only $780,
0OO,0 a year for such activi'
ties. This amount is only a drop
IN the bucket. .

WEST ORANGE, N. j., July
"a QNS0.-Friends of Thomas

ports that the 84year-old master
inventor intended to retire from

However, they admitted the
aged inventor might have de-
cided to SLOW up" his research

energy.
The discussion developed from
the revelation that Edison has
