ROOSEVELT To
FAVOR YOUTH.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent


HYDE PARK, N. Y, Jan. 16. -
Close friends of President-elect
Roosevelt have joined with Col. E.
M. House in urging him to pick
young blood for his cabinet, it was
learned today.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt remains
silent, advisers declared he was i'm
pressed by the advice Of House to
forget us old dodo birds" in MAX
ing up his official family.
Friends have told Mr.. Roosevelt,
it was understood, that one of the
quickest ways of bringing to real
ization his new deal' in govern
ment for the American people
would be to choose cabinet of
advanced" political thought.
They have argued that the coun-
try, now going through the worst
economic depression in its history,
needs new ideas and opinions to
pull itself out of the red.
In this connection, it was believed
the President-elect would turn to
the progressives who helped elect
him for some of his cabinet mate
rial. While Senator Hiram john
son of California, leader of the Cali
fornia Republican progressives, is
reported not disposed to accept a
portfolio, there are others, it is felt,
who would gladly do so.
Names that have come up include
those of Philip La Toilette of Wis
consin, former governor, and Sena-
tor Bronson Cutting of New Mex
ico. ;aNS
McAdoo Voices Opinion
Senator -elect William Gibbs Nc
Adoo of California said after con-
ferring with Mr.. Roosevelt yester-
day that he favored lawfully fair
treatment" for progressive Repub-
licans who supported the Demo-
cratic ticket last fall.
Should Roosevelt appoint men of
progressive political viewpoint, some
of mis- advisers point out, he would
not only be in step with his cam
paign pledges but also would be
meeting an obligation. They re-
called that almost the entire pro-
gressive strength of both parties
swung to him in the election.
They feel, too, it was explained,
that with such a cabinet behind
him, his path would be made
smoother in carrying out compre-
| hensive program not only for eco
nomic rehabilitation but for gov
ernmental reform as well.
Roosevelt, who will go to Warm
Springs, Ga, late this week, is ex-
pected to devoSe considerable time
70 a review of the cabinet material
at hand.

MOTHER SAYS
SONS WRONGED

A mother came to the defense
of her two sons today when Mrs.
Edna L. Warneke of Holtville in
sisted upon the innocence of Don
aid Thompson, "a, and William H
Thompson, 20, arrested at Holtville
and taken to Los Angeles Satur-
day night to face charges that they
killed James H. Nerison, Alhambra
radio patrol officer, during a bur-
glary January 8.
Enemies at Los Angeles have
framed" the charge against her
sons Mrs. Warneke declared. She

their innocence because they were
at home on the night of January
3.

Donald Thompson has no criminal
record, contradicting the statement

acterized this arrest as the result
of a Halloween prank.

er said, was sent to San Quentin
penitentiary because he escaped
from Los Angeles county road
gang. She declared he was rail-
roaded" to the prison.

By HERBERT r. EKINS
United Press Staff Correspondent

PEIPING, Jan. 16. Chinese
officials feared today that the jap
anese were planning an advance
from the Great Wall toward Tient-
sin, although the Shanhaikwan

tie activity outside the wall.

Japanese accepted the challenge
of Gen. Feng Chan Halls "big
swords" who harraSSed the Nip
ponese troops last week and claimed

SANTA MONICA, Jan. Is.
(SpeciaD-Well "the Huey long
session of congress" goes into
its seventh week tomorrow. The
senate's principal claim to dis
tinction has been that they
have a rule where a man can
talk as long as he wants to,
about anything he wants to.
And they have worried the
American taxpayer to death
with that rule.
Now to have somebody come
in that can talk them ragged
like they been doing to the
country, why Huey is our hero.
II he was the means of making
'em change that rule the king
fish would replace the Amer
lean eagle as our national an

SEEKING REDUCTION
IN FIELD FIRE LOSS
Maryland Firemen's Officials
and Forestry Department
to Present Bill.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

q
KENSINGTON, Md, December O.
Legislation designed to halt heavy prop
erty losses resulting from improperly
attended field fires is being planned
by officials of the Maryland State Fire
mems Association and the State De-
partment of Forestry, it was said here
today by Eugene J. c. Raney, president
of the State fire body.
Property losses amounting to thou
sands Of dollars occur annually from
field fires which get beyond control Of
the persons who start them, while fire
departments throughout the State are
heavily burdened by the expense Of re-
spending to such calls. Raney declared.
Bill Tentatively Planned.
1t is tentatively planned by both
officers Of the Firemen's Association
and the Forestry Department, Raney
said. to present before the State Legis-
lature bill which would require per-
SONS desiring to burn off a field to first
obtain permit from the fire chief in
that locality and to assume full re-
sponSibility, both for any resultant
damage and the expense of combating
the fire.
However, he declared, a meeting Of
State Firemen's Association and heads
of the Forestry Department will be
held to give more consideration To
the matter before taking any definite
step in that direction.
Raney said he was not able to deter
mine at this time whether the bill
would be ready for introduction before
the special session of the General AS
sembly now being held at Annapolis.
Need of Law Long Felt.
The need for legislation controlling
the burning of fields has long been felt
in Maryland, but it reached its climax
on Thanksgiving day, when flremer
throughout the State were kept busy
extinguishing fires of that type which
| were famed by steady winds and
thrown out of control Of the persons
who ignited them, Raney asserted.
In Baltimore County alone. he said,
co calls were turned in on field fires
and 1000 acres of land were swept by
flames. Anne Arundel County was also
kept busy and one fire alone laid to
waste $50 acres of valuable woodla nd
More than a score of such fires were
reported in Montgomery County.
