HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March 18-
The efforts of Douglas Fairbanks. jr., to
SAY it with flowers" brought no en-
couraging response today from his
estranged wife. Joan Crawford.
The actress announced last night,
slightly more than "a hours after Fair
banks had been made defendant in q
love-theft suit, that she had separated
from her actor husband. Miss Craw-
brd. however, denied young Fairbanks
legal troubles had entered into the sep
aration, and said divorce proceedings
were not contemplated.
1T Is merely case OF two people be-
ing unable to get along together" she
said. 1T is the only brave thing for
us to do. When two people are unable
to get along the right thing to do is to
part.

call her up every day and send her
kilograms when I can't get her on the
telephone" he said. This is not like
other separations for We are still in
love"
The alienation OF affections suit was
filed against Fairbanks by Jorgen DietZ,
chemical engineer. who alleged the actor
stole the love of his wife, Solveig Dietz,
Danish actress A total Of $50 900 dam
ages is sought by Dietz for the alleged
love theft, and for alleged false i'm
prisonment. He claims Fairbanks was
responsible for the loss Of his liberty
for six hours while an investigation
was being made by the district attor-
neys office here Of what Fairbanks
alleged was an extortion plot in con-
nection with the then proposed filing
of the suit
District Attorney Burton Fits said
today Fairbanks had made no request
70 his office for prosecution Of Dietz,
and that no action was planned at this
time.
Fairbanks alleged DietZ had tried to
sell him a necklace for S. 1000, threaten
ing the suit in case he did not buy it.
Fairbanks claimed the jewelry was
worth only $500. The necklace was the
property of Lucy Doraine, screen act
ress, who claimed, her attorney said,
that 1t is part of the crown jewels Of
the HapSburgs and worth $4,000.
Both Dietz and Miss Doraine were
under investigation by the district at
torney's office last December when Fair
banks complained Of the case. Fair
banks said he did not prosecute at that
time because Of the fearful pleas Of
both Dtetz and Miss Doraine.

only six months in office and he was
succeeded by Christopher Richmond,
former Revolutionary War Army Of
ficer who lived only nine months after
his appointment. 1t was during this
period. Mr.. Duhamel related, that Post
master General HaberSham authorized
the local postmaster to employ letter
carriers who were required to give
bond and who were permitted to COL
lect 2 cents from the addressee of
each piece Of mail. These pioneer let
ter carriers were called The Penny
Post" after the old English fashion.
Edward Emo was the first letter car
rier to be appointed. He served until
1904 when he resigned ''in an unpleas-
ant frame Of mind. probably" Mr.
Duhamel suggested. under the impress
sion that there was too much work
for so little pay"
Some Of the early postal rates, Mr..
Duhamel listed as GA cents letter
delivered within 80 miles of Washing
ton; 10 cents for distance between
80 and 80 miles; 18 cents from WASH
ington to Philadelphia, New York or
Pittsburgh. and Is cents to Chicago
or New Orleans.
In 1859, Mr.. Duhamel said, the
Penny Posts fee was reduced to / cent
and in 1858, the regular salaried let
ter carrier was authorized by the Gov
ernment. The title of Penny Post"
however, continued for many years.
Following the business session, a pro-
gram of entertainment was presented.
1t included a group of old fashioned
harmony songs by the Beall Brothers
Quintet Of Rockville, Md. The broth
ers' costumes were blue overalls and
red neckerchiefs and the singers were
Ralph, first tenor; Millard and Otis,
second tenors; Leonard. first bass, and
Earl Beall. second bass. The program
included also vocal solos by Mrs Frieda

Roosevelt Program Is One

step at a time. President Roosevelt
is carrying forward What many here
regard as an economic revolution.
He is replacing the American in
dividualism" of Herbert Hoover with
a definite program OF social eco
nomic control
Under pending proposals, the in
fluence of the federal government
would reach out to thousands of
farms. seeking to increase prices by
restricting planting. 1t would go
into factories and reduce working
hours.
1t would revise the methods of
banks. A protecting hand would
follow the thrifty citizen as he in
vested his savings III stocks and
bonds.
Even Aids Housewife
Even in the kitchen of the small
housewife the influence of the
Roosevelt program would be felt If
fruit comes of the plan to send
cheap electricity flowing from vast
government sponsored power projects
to the homes washing and ironing.
Full scope of the Roosevelt pro-
gram is becoming clear as the daily
recommendations from the White
House are pieced together.
The principal ones are as follows:
Artificial raising Of
the farm price level through re-
striction of planting under federal
control; reduction of agricultural
debts through refinancing farm
mortgages under federal direction
Finance - Reorganization of the
banking structure. with pressure to-
ward absorption of all state banks
into federal system; federal Ii
cenSing of all stock and bond is
sues and regulation of stock eX-
changes; refinancing Of home mort
cages.
Long Hours Discouraged

of foolish overproddction," by dis
couraging long working hours: reg
ulation of working hours for inter-
state manufacturing encourage
ment of states to enact minimum
wage laws; reorganization OF rail-
roads.
Natural Resources - Development
of combined hydro-eleCtric and flood
control projects similar to that rec
commended for Muscle Shoals to
provide cheap power and prevention
of economic loss through foods; re-
forestation.
That, in thumb-nail form, is the
skeleton of social program which
would reach into every sphere of &C
tivity and touch every citizen at
many points.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Two drastic
resolutions, botn aimed at closing
of public schools until cash is avail

the board of education today.
One of the resolutions, members
conceded, undoubtedly will be
adopted at a special meeting Fri
day.
At a spirited meeting of the board
Wednesday, almost halted at times
by boos and jeers from 500 angry
teachers, a resolution by Trustee H.

closing of schools was considered.

on selection Of a new mayor for
Chicago today, Board members who
sponsored the alternative resolution
felt confident that a speedy, sue
cessful plan for cash payment will
be pushed through as soon as coun-
Gil names a new city executive.
Since death of Mayor Anton j.
Cermak, the authority for signing Of

The stormy session Wednesday
placed anew before the board the
desperate plight of unpaid teachers.

Angry jeers and shouts arose when
Trustee Ernst Buehler said, the
teachers are not loyal if they make
us close the schools" Teachers were
packed into the room, massed around
the debating, harraSsed board. At
one time President Orville Taylor
threatened to call police to clear the
room.
One teacher demanded:

taxpayers, but how about the forty
teachers who have collapsed, those
who have nervous breakdowns, and
the six who have been driven to in
sanity?"
