Keller had been ordered to produce additional documents relating to hiS previous test imony before the inter state commerce commission on d number of lighteraSe cases involv- ing the city. These documents had been gathered by his clerk. who waited at Keller's office for his chici to appear Keller never arrived.
 Meanwhile, at the old slip police station, officials kept the identity of "a man who fell or jumped in front of . south bound express train at the Bowling Green station" secret until newspaper investigators ob- tained a description of him. And at that point, the trans!t commission, making it's own investigation of the tragedy, announced that the case was suicide.
 For two weeks, Keller had been pounded with questions relating to his administration of the tremen- dous dock and pier system of the port of New York. He had been questioned at length on the alleged deal by which the sum of $25O,0OU mysteriously appeared in the ac- counts of former County Judge W. Bernard Nause, only to disappear again into the account of an equally mysterious Frank Baxter" who has never been found by the police.

SMALL SERVICE
 FEE PLANNED
 FOR JOB BUREAU
Nominal Charge in Interest of Economic Conditions,
 Expert Declares
By GENE GILLETTE nitcd Press Staff COrrcSpOndcnO


 Des Moncs. OrP)-lt is in the in tereSt of sound economic conditions in America that employment bureau service should be provided at nomi- nal charges, according to Hans C. Pfund, secretary of the Dse Moines community employment bureau.
 such service would be possible under a system of community -oper- atcd employment bureaus similar to the Dcs Molncs organization and eX- tending throughout the nation, the expert said.
 Every city of 10000 or more should have a community employ ment bureau, pfund said. EXperi- enCe in Des MoinCs has shown that support for organization of such a service can be obtained from busi- ness leaders. pfund related and in time he cnvisioned a bureau that would be supported by the revenue from hequests.
 Many business men, when they have seen the type of work accom- plishcd by the commonly bureau, will beGuCath a portion of their estate toward its support, Pfund said. such bequestS constantly will reduce the rates required of labor CTS without employment until ulti- mately the fee charged will be pure ly nominal
 In addition to supplying voca- tional guidance, q record of jobs held by workers, and low cost ser vice, the community employment bureau is strictly neutral.
 In the nation wide system of com munity bureaus that he enVisions | Pfund said religious, or fraternal af- filiations, will be neither detriment nor an advantage {" the man with out q job.
 Only in cases where employers specifically designate that the em- ploye be of a certain religious faitf or lodge utilization will such mat ters be given consideration,
 Pfund expects the system he pro poses will be years in development but the success that has been ob tained here leads him to predict it. eventual completion.
