To CARRY.
HIS FIGHT To
PRESIDENT
Rift Develops With Ickes
Over Spending $780, 100000
To Modernize Army

The first approach to a split in
the Cabinet that has occurred
since the new Administration as
sumed office was seen today in
the apparent difference of opinion
which has arisen between Secre-
tary of War Dern and Secretary
of the Interior Ickes over the
War Departments plan to mod
ernize the Army at cost of ap-
proximately $50,000,000.
Within a short time after it
became known that Dern had sub
mitted the plan to the public
works administration board, IckeS,
who is chairman of the board,
announced to newspaper men it
had been withdrawn by the Sec
retary Of War.
Dern countered with a formal
statement, declaring the report he
had withdrawn the plan was mis-
leading" Dern said:
II was not satisfied with the
action that I anticipated was
about to be taken by the board,
and therefore asked hat fur
ther consideration be dropped
until a subsequent meeting
Meanwhile, it was learned at
the War Department that Dern
intended to take the matter di-
rect to the President
IckeS was said to be in doubt
as to the advisability of expend-
ing $50,000,000 on modernization
of the army at a time when Gov
ernmental economy was consid
cred so essential.
Dern, on the other hand, point
ed out in his statement that the
plan to modernize the army
through motorization and mech.
anization would furnish employ
ment for skilled mechanics in
large centers of unemployment.

ELLIOTT DENIES
ENGAGEMENT

CHICAGO, July 10 G.NSo
Denying rumors of his reported
engagement to Miss Ruth Goo
gins, of Fort Worth, Tex, and
eluding a small army of news
paper reporters occupied the
time of Elliott Roosevelt, son OF
the President, today.
Young Roosevelt arrived In
Chicago by plane yesterday from
Nevada where he was divorced on
Monday by Mrs. Elizabeth Don
ner Roosevelt.
Shortly after he met Miss
Googins and last night at 1890
he and Miss Googins left the
hotel by freight elevator,
boarded an automobile and sped
away.
. The Presidents son said:
Really you haven't given me
time to ask Miss GOOginS' hand
in marriage yet"
He insisted, however, that re
ports of their contemplated mar
riage were "all wet"

quest was ignored.
81 know that Senator Walsh
was feared by crooked pOliti-
clans and crooked financiers.
In these days, you can have
a man killed for a few dollars
anywhere from SIS to
$2,5OO."
The late Senator Walsh died
on a railroad train, en- route
with his bride of a week from
Florida to Washington. He had
accepted appointment as Attor-
ney General. Physicians attrib-
uted his death to heart disease,
induced by the tremendous ex-
element of getting married and
entering the Cabinet.
Planned Cleanup Campaign
Canon Chase, who retired as
rector of Christ Church, Brook
lyn, in 1882, said he regarded
the late Senator Walsh as a
crusader for Righteousness" He
said Walsh had planned a
cleanup campaign against cor
ruption in business and Govern
ment. He added:
"When President Roosevelt
named Senator Walsh as Attor-
ney General 1 felt my faith in
him had been justified. 1 knew
Senator Walsh would do the
right thing about corruption in
our Government"
Does that mean you voted
for a dripping wet candidate
for President last year?"
"Oh, no, 1 didn't vote at all,
but if 1 had voted, 1 would
have voted for Mr.. Roosevelt
rather than for Mr.. Hoover, al
though 1 voted for Mr.. Hoover
four years ago. My hobby now
is not prohibition but fighting
corruption in Government.
Prohibition merely is an al.
lance now between crooked
politicians and organized
crime"
Expects Repeal to Win
The clergyman was rather
"downhearted" over the pros
poets of early repeal of prohibi-
ton. He conceded that only
something miraculous" could
prevent repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. He said:
"If that happens, then there
should be a new party Of indie
pendent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in 1886. This new party
should be aligned against all
forms Of corruption and, Incl
dentaIIy, for prohibition.
would you say that Mr..
Hoover should lead that third
party?"

Demands Of laborers on Gov
ernment construction jobs in the
District for a minimum wage of
SO cents an hour will be answered
tomorrow in a letter from L. w.
Robert, jr., Assistant Secretary

low wages.
A petition was received at the
Treasury Department from Larry
Klly. of the 900 block G Pl N. w..

same as one submitte dto the de-
partment early in March. The
petition alleges that wages are
so low as to prevent a decent
standard Of living.
1t was said at the department
today that this petition in March
was answered and the laborerS at
that time were asked to specify
to which jobs they referred. At
that time no answer was received
from the laborerS.

reduce the majority somewhat,
but not enough to make any ma

The larger cities, notably
Mobile, Birmingham and Mont

HURRIED AWAY
F.. BY: MOTOR At
EARLY HOUR
Censorship CIamped Down by
Justice Department on
Criminals Departure

CASTOR B. Means, sentenced to
IS years for perpetrating the
Lindbergh baby-recovery hoax
that cost Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mac
Lean 100000, was spirited away
from the District Jail at 4:3O
o'clock this morning.
He was hustled into a large
automobile, manned by Depart
ment of Justice agents, and the
trip to Lewisburg, Pa, where he
will serve his sentence in the new
Federal penitentiary, was begun.
At the Department Of Justice
It was said plans had been made
to have Means committed" today
in Lewisburg. No information
was forthcoming as to the time
of departure from washington or
his mode of travel.
It was learned from early-ris-
ing neighbors of the jail that
Means had begun the trip. The
Department of Justice has
c1amped down a strict censorship
on jail officials regarding Means
and no information was forth
coming from them.
No explanation Of the censor
ship has been given. It is be-
lieved, however, that the depart
ment fears an attempt may be
made to liberate Means, who
himself once was known as the
best investigator in the Federal
service.

The church is penny wise and

grave mistake when it overlooks
newspaper advertising, j. F. E.
Nichelsburg, of New York, execu-
tive secretary of the American
Luther Publicity Bureau, said to-
day, addressing the forty-first
convention of the Waltner
League here, He said:
"There are 63,OOO,OOO resi-
dents in the United States. The
best way to reach these people
obviously is through newspaper
advertising. Business men spend
$2OO, ,O0O, 900 q year to reach the
American public. Why doesn't

REPEAL VICTORY
IN 48 STATES
FORECAST
Jouett ShouSe Not Surprised
at Vote in Arkansas
and Alabama

NEW YORK, July 10 Q.N.S).
Repeal victories in Alabama and
Arkansas clinches repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment before
the end Of the year, Jouett
Shouse, president of the Associa-
tion Against the Prohibition
Amendment predicted today be-
fore sailing for Europe. He said:
II predict, with confidence,
that every State for which an
election has thus far been Or
cred will give surprising re-
peal majority.
"Only because the necessary
number Of States will not act
until November and because
some Of the conventions to
make official the decision re-
corded in the elections will not
be held until December is final
ratification postponed for five
months" ..
NUT SUKRhASED
ShouSe said the result in Ala
bama is not surprising ito those
familiar with the temper Of the
people of that State" He said:
Tn Arkansas, our association
and other repeal groups be-
lieved the fight would be ex-
ceedingIy close. Next to Kansas,
and perhaps Oklahoma, Ar.
kansas has been ranked in the
public mind as more definitely
dry than any other State.
The repeal leader further pre-
dicted that it was highly prob
able all the 48 States would
ratify repeal
Advice to DryS
He said he did not question the
honesty and sincerity Of purpose
of "our prohibition friends" :"
pointing out:
There is an abundant field
for their intelligent labor TO-
ward the wiseSt regulation Of
the liquor traffic and toward
curbing of admitted abuses
which formerly attached to
many phases of that traffic"

SWANSON BOOS
AIR THREAT

America need have no fear she
is open to an unexpected attack
from the air as a result Of the
successful crossing of the North
Atlantic by General Balbo'S air
armada last week. This opinion
was voiced today by Secretary of
the Navy Swanson in an indirect
reply t o a warning issued yester-
day by Gen. William Mitchell,
former chief Of the United States
Army Air Corps.
Secretary Swanson was enthus-
iastic in his praise of Balbo's
feat, but pointed out the trip re-
quired thre weeks and held no
menace to America if made py
an enemy air corps.
Our real danger, the Secretary
pointed out, lies in an enemy
approaching our shores with fast
airplane carriers capable of
launching plane at strategic
points along our coast.

Business Chiefs Find
Cooperation, Not
Barked Orders
Nv international News Service

The title of General" before
the name of Hugh S. Johnson,
national industrial recovery ad;
ministrator, is misleading.
He holds that rank in the
Army Reserves, he is a West
Pointer, and a former regular
Army officer. Nevertheless. har-
assed business executives, coming
mere to learn what's happening
under the industrial recovery
act, go to johnson expecting to
have military orders barked at
them, but find nothing military
dn the experience.
He has two traditional mill
tary qualities, one a voice OBJ
viouSly developed as a cavalry
officer, the other directneSs.
Gives Straight Answers
He uses the voice only to make
himself heard before a roomful
of restless people. The second
quality is manifested in a will
,ingness to give an unblinking,
straight answer to any PROPOSE
tion put up to him.
1t has been more than a decade
since he wore a uniform. When
America entered the World War
johnson, a cavalry major, was
brought to Washington because
he was one of the few Army men
with a knowledge of civil law. He
had graduated in law from
California university.
Draft Law Born
Man-power was the problem
then. johnson saw it and brought
in a monumental draft law

The law stood every test. 1t put
two million fighters in France in
time to save the allied cause.
For ten years or more johnson
has been a high-powered business
executive in one of the nations
major industrial groups. He can
swap business pedigrees with most
of those who come to him for
orders. Instead of orders they
get help from a man who knows
their problems from personal ex-
perience.
Dress Suits Weather
He dresses for the weather. At
conferences he muses. his hair,
loses his glasses, and wraps hlm-
self around a desk In anything
but a military manner.
He hates to be called car, die
tator, or any of those terms. He
emphasizes that he is asking CO.
operation, not giving orders, and
that he is doing it in the best
interests of the whole country.
At press conferences, he colors
his language with damns and
hells. After meetings behind closed
doors. the waiting newspapermen
literally wrestle him into a cor
ner, where he puts his hands up
cusseS them, then answers ques-
tions until they let him go.
His recreation is a big book
on economics, when he can find
one he hasn't read. He has writ
ten some himself. Yet his most
widely publicized writings are
some boys books he did years ago.
