MAYOR WALKER TO
 AID THE STATE INVESTIGATION
Will Block Any Attempts to Stop Probe and Will Fire Employees Who Refuse to Testify

New York, April 30-U. P.) s- Mayor James J. Walker indicated to- day he would veto any attempts on the part of Tammany Hall to combat the legislative city inquiry into charges of corruption and incom- petence in his administration.
 Although he has consistently re- fused to comment on Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to dismiss the charges against him, Walker has made it clear that he will not allow political leaders to make any move which, may place him in an embarrassing position.
 Walker recently announced that he would remove from office any of ficial under his Jurisdiction who re- fused to testify before the investiga- tion committee headed by. Samuel Seabury on the grounds it might tend to degrade and incriminate them. Observers believe he will thwart any move to block the fn- auiry which may put him in posi- tion to act on that pledge.

If you would walk in GOODNESS
this summer, wear fabric shoes.
They have advanced in fashion
Importance until now they keep
step with the feathers, and for
summer wear they need no fur
ther recommendation. It is true
that the majority of strictly
summer shoes are the conven-
tional black and white or brown
and white buckskin, but equally
smart are fabrics in the same
types and in variations.
Fabrics Go Everywhere
Linens, cottons, suva cloth
and Shantung are all good. We
find linen embroidered or
trimmed, in kid. We find cot
tons in novelty weaves and
Suva cloth is that open-work,
mesh-like material that is ex-
tremely cool and is obtainable
at very low prices. Shantung
was popular last year for both
sports and dress, and is no less
a favorite this year. Even for
sports we find fabrics made into

Prince of Wales oxfords or gon
oxfords with light trimming of
leather.
For All Day Long
The two shoes we have had
Sketched are typical of the
linens, and we can recommend
them because of their smart,
ness and practicality. The
pump is of natural colored linen
with scalloped trimming of kid
because it is neutral and it can
be worn with many costumes.
The other shoe is of natural
linen, embroidered in neutral
tones. This same material may
be purchased in shoes in high
heels along more extreme lines.
Both of these shoes may be
worn with many changes of cos
tune from morning through an
informal evening.

these shoes, write Miss LaVille,
