AIDED IN SEARCH
FOR HER CHILDREN
Estranged Wife of New York An
thropologist Spurs Police Efforts
to Locate Them.

Further effort will be made today to
ascertain definitely the. whereabouts Of
the four young children of Mrs. George
Gaylord Simpson, estranged wife of a
New York Museum of Natural History
anthropologist, the Police Women's Bu-
reau stated.
Yesterday Mrs. Simpsons father in
law, Joseph Simpson, an employe of the
Federal Trade Commission, in answer
to an advertisement inserted in a New
York paper by the mother. said they
were safely in possession of his wife,
their paternal grandmother.
The grandmother, Joseph Simpson
explained, left the city 20 avoid recur-
renee Of hay fever and took the chill
dren along. He said his son had Gus
tody of the children through a separa-
ton agreement. which Mrs. Simpson
had signed. The children are: Helene,
8; Gay, 6; Joan, 1, and Betty, 3. Simp-
son, however, did not state where the
grandmother had gone. An official of
the Wcmen's Bureau said they would
seek to question Simpson in an effort
to clear up the controversy
The mother contends that under the
terms of a separation agreement, she
is given the right to visit her children
and ascertain their whereabouts. She
said:
Il am interested only in finding my
children. 1 have as great legal right
to our babies as he. As mother have
a greater moral right to little girls"

LABOR RACKET"
CONF FESS|ON DENIED
Detective Wilson Says Re-
ported Statement of Hos
pitaI Patient Is Untrue.

Published reports that George McScu-
len made deathbed confession that he
was hired to assassinate officials Of the
International Union of Operating Engi-
neers were denied today by Detective
Sergt. H. K. Wilson, chief of the police
homicide squad.
McScullen, who died in Gallinger Hos
pital last Monday, was reputed to have
given visitors a sensational account Of
racketeering methods used by labor
union officials throughout the country.
However, according to Detective Sergt
George Darnall, who investigated the
reports, McScullen had had no visitors
and, therefore, could have made no
such statements. During his stay in
the hospital and, before that while held
in the District Jail, McScullen showed
a decided reluctance to converse with
any one, Darnall declared.
McScullen and three other men and
a woman we're arrested here several
months ago on a charge of conspiracy
to assassinate Charles E. Haury, former
supervisor of the union. At that time
members of the homicide squad at
tempted to link McScullen and the 9TH
ers with the shooting several months
previously of Arthur M Huddell, late
president of the union, and Frank
Langdon, editor of its official organ
Both men were fired upon in restau-
rant at Tenth and K streets and Lang
don was shot in the eye. Huddell
though uninjured, died sometime later
Of a heart attack.

D. c. BANKERS Join
IN PRAISE OF R.F.C.
Several Institutions Here
Saved by Financing,
President Told.

President Hoover today received a
letter signed by four bank presidents
in Washington, in which they told him
that through the prompt and intelli-
gent service rendered by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation follow
ing the closing Of several small banks
here recently the situation was relieved
and uneaSiness on the part of the in
vesting public allayed.
The letter to the President said that
this outstanding service to this COM
munity gave evidence of the need for
which the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration was created. The letter also
called attention to the splendid and
efficient cooperation received, not only
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration. but from the manager of the
Richmond Loan Agency of the Federal
Reserve District in which this city Is
located.
Situation Is Explained
The letter to the President follows:
Dear Mr. President:
"The District of Columbia has just
passed through the unpleasant expert
ence Of the closing Of several email
banks, mainly occaSioned by the de-
plorable defalcation at the Bank Of
Brightwood. The closing of these in
stitutions temporarily caused wide
spread uneasineSs in the local banking
situation. However, through the prompt
and intelligent service rendered the
District of Columbia by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation that un-
easiness has been allayed.
"As members of the Advisory Com
mittee of the Richmond Loan Agency
of the Fifth Federal Reserve District
for the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, we desire to record our ap-
probation of the splendid and efficient
cooperation received from the board
of directors and other officials of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation, as
well as the manager of the Richmond
Loan Agency and his assistants, who
came to Washington and spent nearly
an entire week assisting in stabilizing
the local situation by expediting the
granting of loans to those institutions
whose primary reserves needed strength
enirg to meet the Withdrawals which
took place during the emergency.
An Outstanding Service.
I'VE feel that this was an outstand-
ing service to our community, and
evidence of the need for which the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
was created, and therefore take the
liberty of bringing the matter to your
attention"
This letter was signed by Robert "
Fleming. president of Riggs National
Bank; H. H. Mckee, president. National
Capital Bank; George w. White, presi-
dent, National Metropolitan Bank. and
Francis G. Addison, jr., president,
