Questioned for hours today by
police and Department Of Justice
agents, Joseph A. Trischitti, Man
haitian restaurant owner, broke
down this afternoon and admitted
his wild tale of having been kid
naped was hoax.
Trischitti appeared in a delica-
lessen on North Capitol Street
last night with a story of having
been kidnapped Tuesday and Of
having been brought here, then
escaping by leaping out of a
second floor window while his
guard was sleeping.
Taken to Philly
His story was that he had been
kidnapped while en- route to church
in Manhattan. He was put in an
automobile and driven through
the Holland tunnel, connecting
Manhattan and Jersey City, he
said, and in what he thinks was
Philadelphia a friend of the five
men who kidnapped him gave them
breakfast. After the meal they
continued to Washington.
Ne said he was held prisoner
in a second floor apartment over
a garage. Police last night spent
hours searching for the garage,
but said they were unable to
locate it.
Frischitti was taken to the Elev-
enth precinct station and kept
there over night. Although he
was not arrested, his fingerprints
and: photographs were taken.
No Letter Received
Relatives in New York said he
had disappeared Sunday, but they
did not know anything of his sub
sequent adventures.
During the period of his cap
tivity Trischitti said he was forced
to write a letter to his brother,
Charles, telling him to pay all his
(Joseph's) bills, sell the restau-
rant and take care of his family
as he was going to commit suicide.
The family said the letter had
not been received.

While the NRA code for the
newspaper business was being pre-
pared for President Roosevelt's
signature, Administrator Hugh S
Johnson was assuring reporters
that under the national recovery
act they have every right to Or
ganiZe and bargain collectively
with their employers.
The statement was made yes
terday, at a luncheon preceding
the organization of a national
federation of newspaper mems
guilds, presided over by Haywood
Broun, of New York, and with
the editorial workers from 50
cities represented.
Survey in Progress
johnson said:
I'm not going to allow any
thing to be put over on any
group. A survey of news de-
partment wages and working
hours will be completed within
two weeks. 1t is no pussyfOOt
survey. If you choose to or
ganize yourself for collective
bargaining, this administration
will protect your right to do so
and no publisher can prevent
such collective bargaining, if
you are organized"
johnson told the reporters they
had no right to submit q code
since only employers submit
codes. He added:
Every code guarantees the
bargaining rights of employees,
and the newspaper code will do
that. However, you may sug-
geSt provisions for your en-
plOyers' codes. The AdminiStra-
tiOn and the President will
consider them. The President
has power at any time to inn
pose code provisions"
ASK 35-HOUR WEEK
Morris Watson, of the guild
gave johnson a suggested code
for press associations calling for
a 35-hour, five-day week with
minimum pay Of $50 to $65 for
reporters, $65 for photographers
and increased rates for higher
positions. It was pointed out
the five-day week would not pre-
vent a reporter remaining longer

BROKE,
COMPLAIN At
CWA ORDER
Have No Money for Food, Gas,
Oil, as Checks Are Held
Up for Entire Week

Complaint that an order just
issued providing for paying them
every two weeks, instead ot
weekly, will deprive them of the
slender livelihood earned under
the Civil Works Administration
was voiced today by so drivers
attached to the Emergency Relief
headquarters.
According to a spokesman for
the group, the order came Thurs
day without warning and found
the men not only without money
for food over the weekend, but
minus the means to buy gaso
line and oil with which to run
their cars next week.
The men were last paid on
Saturday, the spokesman said,
when $3.50 was in their en-.
velopes, the Thanksgiving holi-
day having cut down their pay
Out of this they have been tax
ing running expenses for their
cars all week, he asserted, and
the order found virtually all OF
them with empty pockets.
Furnish Own Cars
The men were transferred from
District relief rolls and given
work under the CWA at IS cents
an hour for a 30-hour week, As
cents for their work and 30 cents
automobile expenses. They also
must furnish their own cars.
The spokesman declared he
complained and was told to apply
to his case worker, who flatly
refused to help him since he had
been transferred from relief rolls
to the CWA roster. Even if a
food order is issued him, he
pointed out, he cannot buy gaso'
line and oil on that. He said
today:
"If this order sticks, we
might just as well throw up our
hands and quit"
Called Lone Discrimination
He asserted the drivers were the
only group of unskilled labor
under the CWA thus discrimi-
mated against.
Local CWA officials readily ad'
mitted the difficulties confronting
the men but said they were power
less to act since the group in
question come under the rented
equipment" section-as they must
furnish their own cars-and, &C
cording to Federal CWA rulings,
persons in this classification are
paid every two weeks.
Capt. Howard F. Clark, head OF
the work planning committee OF
the local organization, asserted
however that he was trying to
make an adjustment.

first is our compensation for things
