You've Killed -Four
BY ROSE RoSEN
You've kept our stomachs empt,

You've kept our stomachs empty,
Only to plug it full of lead.
We asked for little food,
You sprayed us with a hose instead.
Unite, you black and white,
And workers Of all races!
How much longer shall we endure
The bombs thrown in our facess
The fight for freedom goes on!
Murderers, do you hear?
You've killed wour and more and more
But you can't kill us all; don't jeer!

SAYS LEADER
Mrs. Sabin Tells Session Here
Of Reform Groups Aims;
Warns Party Chiefs

eff either or both parties
urge a plank for the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to be submitted to the
people. we will not be salts
fled with apathetic acqui-
escence to such plank on the
part of a candidate. We de-
mand militant support"
So stated Mrs. Charles H. Sabin
at the Mayflower Hotel as she
opened the third annual conven-
ton of the Women's Organiza-
ton for National Prohibition Re
form. The convention will be in
session through tomorrow.
Bigger Than w. C. T. U.
Mrs. Sabin pointed out that the
organization, of which she is
president, in three years has at
tained a membership of more
than half a million and is larger
than the Women's Christian Tenn,
perance Union. She said:
"The reason is easy to un-
derstand. We are now the
party of temperance. The
Women's Christian Temperance
Union has become the party of
intolerance"
Mrs. Sabin berated the profeS-
sional drys in public life and
stressed the prevalence of organ
lied crime. She spoke of the use
of criminals in an effort to obtain
the return of the Lindbergh baby
and asserted that public office
holders know what the situation
is back of happening so sinister,
so horrible"
Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, Of Chi
cago, a former member of the
Democratic national committee,
painted a picture of the horrors
of prohibition.
Welcomed by Mrs. Mason
Mrs. William Beverly Mason,
chairman of the District of Co
Iumbia division, welcomed the
1,100 delegates who represent Al
States and the District.
Announcement was made last
night that a. National Repeal
Week, aimed to direct attention

hibition on the eve of the
national political conventions,

High Winds Menace
Cherry Tree
Blossoms

High winds today are jeopar-
dizing Washington's rapidly
blooming cherry blossoms, Frank
T. Gartside, chief horticultur-
ist of public parks, declared
today.
Any wind of velocity above
that of a gentle breeze can
wreak havoc on the delicate
petals, he pointed out, and if
continued may strip many of
the trees already in bloom of
their pink and white blossoms.
Meantime, while the buds
continue to burst into full
bloom today, a strong wind
estimated by Weather Bureau
officials at 35 miles an hour
continued unabated and gave
little sign of moderating be-
fore nightfall.

Casualty Hospital
FLGUed. at MeetinQ

A large part of the $4,000
which, under a Senate bill, would
be appropriated for Casualty Hos
pital would be used to pay old
debts of the institution, Harry N.
Stull said in sponsoring a resolu-
ton last night before the Stanton
Park Citizens Association, oppos-
ing the bill.
The association voted for an
investigation into the ownership
and methods of operation of the
hospital and for an inquiry into

POLICE REQUIRE
CIVILIAN AIDES

Need for an increase in civilian
personnel in the Police Depart
ment and $4,000 for purchase
of new motor equipment was
made public today with the re-
lease of hearings of the House
District appropriations subcom-
mittee on requirements of the de-
partment.
According to Brig. Gen. Pelham
D. Glassford, no increase in po-
lice personnel is desired, but there
is a need for an increase in
civilian personnel to replace mem
bers of the force now doing
clerical and technical work.
The motor equipment needed
would include 33 small roadsterS,
eight to be used in the expansion
program and Is for requirements,
two seven-passenger radio-equipped
touring cars and five patrol
wagons. A replacement of 25
motorcycles is also desired.
The Fire Department, accord
ing to the statement of Fire
Chief George S. watson, does
not desire an increase in person
mel, with the exception of one
additional battalion chief.
The department, however, de-
sires $42,50O for purchase of new
apparatus, including one aerial
hook and ladder truck, one pump
ing engine and two termination
hose wagons to replace worn out
and obsolete equipment.

RED CROSS HEAD
FLAYS MASS
RELIEF
Henry N. Baker Says Plan
Disrupts Social Life Of
Family and Community

Mass treatment of the un-
employed, such as soup
kitchens, commissaries and
lodging houses, in the present
emergency we're severely criti-
cized today by Henry M.
Baker, assistant national direc-
tor, disaster relief, American
Red Cross, at the convention
of the group in the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Building.
Condemning the practice as an
act Of hysteria, Mr.. Baker as
serted that establishment of these
agencies of relief tend to break
down the normal channels Of
community intercourse"
Social Life Disrupted
Social relationships are dis
rupted to the extent, he con-
tinued, that normal business and
professional activities of the COM
munity are injured. A still more
distressing result, he said, is the
disruption of family life by mass
treatment.
Other problems of unemploy-
ment relief were discussed by
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, ma
tional director of volunteer SER
vice and secretary of the Ameri-
can Red Gross; j. Blaine Gwin,
staff assistant to the vice chair
man of the Red Cross, and De.
Witt C. Smith, assistant director
of domestic operations.
Duty to Veterans
The obligation of the world to
veterans not only of the World
War, but of all previous wars, was
stressed by Mrs. T. w. jackson,
chairman of the Oakland County
(MichO Red Cross Chapter.
Emphasizing the duty incum-
bent on all local chapters of the
Red Cross to offer service to war
veterans, Mrs. Jackson pointed
out the necessity of providing as
Sistance in the homes as we'll as
all manner of physical comforts.

To FACE
SHOWDOWN
ON PAY
Reduction Plan May Be Rider
to Legislative Appropriation
Measure Under Plan

A showdown Thursday on
the conflicting proposals for
wage reduction of Government
workers was ordered today by
the House Rules Committee.
Invoking extraordinary proce-
dure, the Rules Committee recon-
mended a special rule permitting
Representative John j. McDuffie
CD of Alabama, chairman of the
House Economy Committee, to at
tach the pay-cut plan as
rider" to the legislative appro-
priation bill.
A Major Feature
The pay-cut issue will be forced
because it is the major feature
and the most controversial part of
the economy program devised by
President Hoover and the House
committee.
the House refuses to cut the
salaries of Government workers
it is expected that other economy
suggestions will be radically
changed to effect the 5000, 900 900
annual saving agreed upon by the
President and the House leaders.
The rider plan was evolved by
House leaders because of the split
between President Hoover and the
Economy Committee on methods
OF reducing the money paid to
Government workers.
S67,OOO,OOO Saving
The first plan to be laid before
the House will be that of the
economy committee to reduce
salaries II per cent with a $1,000
exemption at an estimated saving
of $67,0O0,0OO year.
The special rule permits the Of
terlng OF President Hoover's plan
as a substitute. The AdminiStra-
tlon's proposal is to furlough en-
ployes who work on annual sala-
rles and establish a five-day week
Tor those who work by the day.
This plan is estimated to effect a
saving of $45,OOO,OOO a year.
TO avoid the charge of gag
rule" the Rules Committee pro
vided that one amendment could
be offered to the McDuffie plan
and one amendment to the HOO
yer proposal.
Hoover Meeting Due
Meanwhile, President Hoover in
Vlted the economy committee to
meet with him again at the White
House tomorrow and consider a
definite national economy bill.
Substitute Plan

Frederick M. Feiker, director of

This reduction of appropria-
tions would affect about 1000

GILBERT GABRIEL WRITES
FINE, FULL NOVEL,
81, JAMES LEWIS
JAMES LEWIS"
Rv GILBERT SELDES.

DURING the past two three years Mr. Gilbert
~ Gabriel has been leading double life. On
winter evenings he went to the theater the critic for
the New York American reporting with justice to good
plays and impatence for bad the strange mixture
The Washington times., 1932-04-12

which Mr.. Gabriel treated the cheap little things of
the theaer, because his other work much more
engrossing.
Based on Fact
gather that somewhere Gabriel ran across the his
torical record of the real James Lewis clerk on
ship which Astor sent of his expeditions to the
Far West Little was known of him, except that at
the end he blew up the ship upon which ne had sailed
killing himself and the treacherous Indians who had
captured it. On this meager data Gabriel has built
his novel; creating dozens of characters, scores of
scenes involving powerful and creditabe, romantic
plot.
Avoiding Pitfalls
1t is very easy to write historical romances if you
assume that the people who lived hundred years ago
not real people; and it is very to take these
people and pretend that they were as uninteres
ing as ourselves by giving them cheap slang to talk
Gabriel avoids both of these errors His people are
real but they lose grandeur. The book is written
in exalted stye which is, at the time, rich and
live The narrative, except in section dealing with
commerce. is quick and engrossing.
The first time met Gabriel told him how much l
admired his first novel, "Brownstone Front" and he
seemed surprised that anyone had read that work I
think that he will not be surprised to find that thousands
will read and admire a. James Lewis" Doubleday
Doran.)

Brooks on Emerson

It has been my luck recently that the books have
liked were written by people whom did not like or did
not know and that the books of my friends gave me
mild pain This week all that is changed In addition
to Mr.. Gabriel, Edmund Wilson and Van Wyck Brooks
have published of interest and Importance Brooks
"Le of Emerson is really the third part of troogy,
of which "The Ordeal of Mark Train and "The Pill
grimage of Henry James" the other two. Mark
Train, according to Brooks corrupted by becoming
too much American suffering from the prudence of
his wife and the passion for money. Henry James was
corrupted by being too little American, suffering
from transportation in alien soil and from some
form of snobsm. Emerson is the man who stayed in
America, became the great American philosopher and
remained wholly himself.
In His Own Words
AS in the work James, Brooks has woven the story
of Emerson's life and thought out of Emersons own
words not only from his essays, but from his letters
and journals and the integrity of Van Wyck Brooks
can be trusted. When he says that Emerson thought
this or felt that you may believe that this thought
that aood specifically recorded by Emerson himself
The book thus places obligation on the reader-the
obligation to criticize which Brooks has not undertaken
Brooks writes very te but each of his books becomes
at once permanent part of American criticism On that
shelf there very few books, and we count
selves lucky that the that brings Lewsohns
Expression in America" brings this Life of Emer-
son." (Dutton.)
