OFFICERS MEMORY
BRINGS THEFT CHARGE
Prisoner Said to Be Wanted in Vir-
ginia Recognized by Police
man Padgett.

Policeman R. D. Padgett'S memory
for faces caused Claude D. Duke, 30, to
be held yesterday on charge of steal
ing S2,25O instead of the comparatively
trivial count of illegal possession of a
half gallon of liquor, the charge ON
which he was originally arrested.
Padgett, who is attached to the first
precinct, arrested Duke near Seventh
and F streets while the latter allegedly
was delivering the liquor. Dukes face
looked familiar. however, and Padgett
thought he recognized him as fugitive
for whom Detective Sergt. j. w. Wise
had a warrant on the larceny charge.
Duke, who lives in the 1900 block of
o street, was locked up on the posses
sion charge until Wise could view him
and verify Padgett's recognition.
Duke, according to Wise, is wanted
by Judge B. M. Hedrick Of Arlington
County, Va, on a charge of stealing
the money from Andrew ]. Isaacs on
June II, 1929. The possession charge
was struck out and Duke was held for
return to Virginia.

1881. the Presidents organization
stated in making public 90 of the many
reports sent in by communities and
industries who helped the unemployed
grow some of their own food.
More Gardens Expected.
while 1t is believed there were more
food plots cultivated last year than
during the World War" said Fred c.
Croxton, assistant director of the or
ganization, "it is expected that not
only will these be repeated this year,
but that the many successful expert
ences will lead other communities and
industries to adopt subsistence gardens
as a measure of unemployment relief"
The most extensive activities reported
to the Presidents organization from
the industrial group were those of the
Consolidated Coal Co. at Fairmont,
w. Va. This company reported total
value of vegetables, canned and dried
fruit last year aggregating approx
mately $278,710. The figure is based
on returns from five divisions Of the
company located in Maryland, West
Virginia and Kentucky. A total of
2,125 acres were under cultivation by
the company's employees last year, and
individual gardens numbered 3,674.

SILENT
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Frazier's Call for Support of
France Ignored by
G. O. p.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BISMARK, N. OAK, March 19-The
assertion of Senator Frazier, Republican
North Dakota, that the States Republi-
can National Convention delegates must
support Joseph I. France for President
remained unanswered officially tonight
Senator Frazier, in his Washington
statement, said the popular vote of a
party for presidential preference pri-
mary candidate is mandatory upon the
party'S convention delegates.
The Republicans Tuesday picked nine
delegates pledged to President Hoover
State Law Ambiguous.
James Morris, State attorney general
declined comment except to say by
precedent the result of presidential
balloting does not require the delegates
to vote for the winning candidate. By
precedent, instructions given the dele
gates at party conventions are the de-
termining factor.
Morris said the State law is ambigu-
GUS and never has been tested. 1t says
will ito the best of his judgment and
ability faithfully carry out the wishes
Of his political party as expressed by
the voters"
1t does not say whether this ex-
preston shall be shown In presidential
balloting, and provides no penalty
should a winner refuse to carry out
1.-The wishes of his political party"
The Attorney General said he would
not give a ruling unless asked to do
SO by delegate elected in Tuesdays
primary.
Hoover Men Cite Precedent.
Friends of President Hoover said the
North Dakota precedent was followed
by them In that his name was not
placed in the preference contest, which
France, a former Maryland Senator,
wen over Mayor Jacob s. Coxey of
Massillon, Ohio, the only other Re-
publican candidate.
Democrats gave Gov. F. D. Roose-
welt of New York big margin over
Gov. w. H Murray of Oklahoma in the
preference voting Nine delegates
pledged to Roosevelt and one favoring
Murray were elected. Under Senator
Frazier's Interpretation the Murray
pledged delegate would be obliged to
support Roosevelt.

BY the Associated Press.
The refusal of Congress to pass the
Costigan-La Toilette $750,000,000 relief
bill was termed last night by William
Green, president of the American Fed

applied, the slack of unemployment
would be taken up"
"An adjustment of working time and
the development Of buying power are
the primary requirements to the res

He called most disappointing" the
attitude Of Congress toward the dis
tressing economic condition which so
seriously affects the entire Nation" and
added relief must be supplied

Sleep Center in Brain?

A sleep center in the brain is pos
tulated by the Austrian neurologist,
G. Won Economo, in the American
Journal of Nervous and Mental Dis
eases.
While this center is not exactly To-
Gated, he says, those diseases which
show disturbance Of the sleep func-
ton, such as the abnormally pro-
longed slumber of encephalitis,
show LESSONS in the neighborhood of
the third venticle of the brain. Cats
have been made to yawn and as
sumo positions of rest when this re-
gion Is stimulated with electricity.
Won Economo believes that the
nerve cells of this region are par
ticularly susceptible to some IA
tigue substance which circulates in
the blood and that once stimulated
they inhibit the action of the higher
nervous centers. Thus 1t is able to
act as sentry for the rest Of the
brain.
