NOBODY has ever had such a birth
day anniversary as Marie Dressler
is having today The whole country Is
wishing her birthday greetings either by
word or deed or by their simple sigma
lures. Not only will shereceive that hand
some birthday scroll which the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt have signed,
but she will get some 40 other big fat
books which her we'll wishers have been
autographing furiously in theater lob
bies during the past month.
We send Miss Dressler our minor
birthday greetings with the hope that
she will prosper and be glad in her
work as she has been for the past
few years. No more loyal or lovable
character has ever been on the screen.
One Of Hollywood's major boasts in the
day of its final accounting will be that
1t recognized the talents of Marie
Dressler and that she helped make the
world laugh when the world felt least
like laughing.

SLAIN, PAL HELD

MILWAUKEE, May is G.N.SD.
Oscar Mueller, 27, today faced
arraignment as the extortioniSt
partner of Frank H. Jess, who
was shot and killed by police as
he was escaping with $4,000 de-
manded under threat of death
from Lloyd r. Smith, millionaire
manufacturer.
Authorities said Mueller ad-
mitted taking part in the eXtor-
ton scheme with Jess, his part
ner in garage venture in subur-
ban Wauwatosa. They we're
heavily in debt, he said, and de-
vised the plot to "get out from
under"
AS Jess was fleeing with $685.
600 in marked bills left in a can
at a designated spot, policemen
who had surrounded the area
fired and Jess fell fatally
wounded.
Smith received five threaten
ing letters. The letters threat
ened the millionaire with death
or kidnapping unless the orders
were obeyed.
Dressed in Smiths clothes, a
detective drove to the appointed
spot and placed the money in
tin can under a Signpost. Jess
had attached a wire rs feet long
to the can and drew the money
into an adjoining field, where
he was concealed.

D. c. AID GROUP
NOT SUBJECT
To PAY GUT
McCarI Ruling Exempts Per-
SonneI and Restores Cash
Already Deducted

This will be a happy payday
for the employees Of the District
emergency relief organization, for
Comptroller General j. R. McCarl
ruled today that their compensa-
ten is not subject to the Is per
cent Economy cut, and that re-
ductions already made from their
salaries will be made up to them.
The District Commissioners
went to bat for the relief outfit
employees as effectively as they
could, but had it not been for a
provision in the act which set
up the organization that it should
operate without regard to the
provisions of any other law they
would probably have lost the de-
cision.
Salary Scale Low
The relief organization is not
In the civil service, and in setting
it up the commissioners made a
low salary scale, considerably
lower than that in effect in the
classified Federal service even
with the IS per cent cut. Fig
ures presented by the commissions
ers showed that social workers
are paid from 5000 to $4,000,
whereas under the civil service
they would get base pay of $1,620
to $4,000, or $500 to $2,607 "a
after the Is per cent cut.
Stenographers and clerks are
paid from $3.50 to $1,620, whereas
positions similarly classified in
the civil service pay base rates Of
$1,260 to $4,000, or $1,026.70 to
$1,804.16 net.
The commissioners pointed out
to McCarl that they didn't want
to cut the salaries Of these en-
ployes IS per cent, if they could
help it, and that they were
already being assessed 3R per
cent for the retirement fund.
Personnel Inadequate
Personnel at relief headquar-
ters is inadequate for the work
anyhow, the commissioners said,
and voluntary aid is being &C.
cepted, including aid from per-
sons on relief. They asked
whether, if these employees were
not subject to the is per cent
cut, the amounts already deduct
ed could be refunded, and
whether, if they must be reduced,
base salaries could be increased
to give them a better deal.
The Comptroller General held
that since the relief administra-
ton could work without regard
to the provisions Of any other
law" the two economy acts do not
apply, that there need be no IS
per cent cuts in salary, and that
cuts already made may be re-
funded, unless employees were
hired with the understanding
that their basic salary was SUBJ
ject to a cut Of 8 1-3 per cent or
any other percentage.

BALTIMORE, May is G.NS).
"Rockabye Baby" is still very
satisfactory theme song for
mothers and not nearly. so
dangerous to health as the mod
ern infant scientists would have
us believe, according to DR.. w.
c. Beasley, professor of psy-
chology at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity.
DR.. Beasley even went so far
as to say that tossing" the in
FAINT would do no particular
harm, unless it is dropped.
All in all, the psychologist re-
ported that babies may safely
be left in the custody of their
mothers, and to a lesser extent
to their fathers, even when the
desire of rocking or tossing the
child to sleep RACES within the
breast of the parent.

struction Finance Corporation to
buy preferred stock in the new
institution strengthened it's posi-
tion. t will provide, they say,
that much more credit reserve.
To Select Name
Organization meetings of the
new bank officials are to be con-
tinued. Selection of a name, de-
cisions on policies and other mat
terS remain to be determined.
John Poole, president and con-
servator of the Federal-American,
and Joshua Evans, jr., president
and conservator of the District
National, are members of the
executive committee of the new
national bank.
The new institution will be
capitalized at $1,000,000 to be
subscribed by stockholders and
depositors of member organiza-
tions.
Treasury officials report that
more than $4,000 of the $4,000
banks throughout the country
closed since the banking holiday
have reopened on a normal basis.
To Take Several Weeks
Most of the $4,000 reopened
banks did so without outside aid,
it was reported. Those not in a
position to do so received as
sistance from the r. F. c. This
huge fiscal agency, however, is
concentrating chiefly on improv-
ing conditions respecting "key"
banks in leading industrial cities
through purchase Of blocks of
preferred stock on condition that
similar sums are advanced
through local interests for COM
mon stock.
Should four or five of the other
closed local banks pool their re-
sources in the new institution,
officials of the new bank state
that washington virtually would
be back on a normal banking
basis. Several weeks, however,
would be required to get the new
institution in actual operation,
it is believed.

GINGER GROUP
ASKS No MONEY

There is in Washington today a
delegation which is working
quietly, with no spellbinding
speakers, no parades, no demon
strations.
The delegation represents the
national committee of the United
Victims of Ginger Paralysis AS
sociation. They seek no money,
they want information.
Every day members of the dele
cation call on Congress to inveSti-
gate and reveal the origin of
adulterated ginger, which in 1880
paralyzed 10000 persons, includ-
ing an 8-year-old girl.
The delegation claims that only
a few of the ginger victims were
habitual drunkards. Most of them,
it was said, took the ginger as a
medicine.
H. M. Spillers, chairman of the
ginger delegation" claims that
his group seeks only information
upon which they may reveal and
sue the manufacturer of the
ginger.

Whitaker, according to testi-
mony Of Government witnesses,
was introduced to Mrs. Mclean
as the actual kidnaper Of the
baby, and appeared on the scene
twice, once at Aiken, S. c., and
once at Ell PaSo, Tex.
Means admitted on direct and
cross-examination that he had
asked Whitaker to assist him in
the case, and that "The Fox" had
worked under his orders.
Government investigators, who
have been hard at work since
Means unfolded his lengthy and
dramatic story, declare that it is
untrue in a number Of vital
points.
Marked Bills Not Found
Max Hassel and Max Green
berg, New Jersey rumrunnerS who
were slain last month, were named
by Means as members of the kid
nap gang, and he declared that
the money paid through "Jafsie," !"
as well as the 100000 paid by
Mrs. Mclean, was in Hassel's pos
session.
A check of the numbers of the
bills found in Hassel'S safe deposit
box showed that the $4,000 paid
by Colonel Lindbergh through
"Jafsie," DR.. John F. Condor,
noted New York educator, were
not in the $214,000 the slain gang
ster left.
Means is now under sentence
Of Is years in prison for failure
to return the 100000 to Mrs.
Mclean. Whitaker is under a
three-year sentence in Florida
involving the theft Of an auto
mobile.
The maximum sentence under
the law in event of conviction
in the case now on trial is two
years and fine of $4,000.
