AL|EN|ST JOB

Establishment of a lunacy COM
mission for the District again is
urged in the annual report of
DR.. Percy Hickling, District alien
ist, submitted today to the District
Commissioners.
DR.. Hickling, who will retire
tomorrow, has long been in favor
of a commission similar to those
existing in many States, which
would have Jurisdiction over the
admission of patients to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital and the discharge
of District cases from that inSti-
tuition.
A bill providing for the estab-
lishment of such commission
was introduced in the past two
sessions of Congress, but was not
acted upon either time. DR.. Lu-
ther H. Reichelderfer, preident of
the Board of District Commis-
sioners, indicated the bill will be
reintroduced when Congress re-
convenes in January.
DR.. Hickling has served the
District for more than 80 years.
His work will be transferred to
the chief psychiatrist at Gallinger
Hospital, DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert.
This will save the District the
salary of an alieniSt, $500 per
year, and his stenographer, at
$500 per year.

LABOR SESSION
OPENS HERE
MONDAY
5000 Delegates Ready to Back
Shorter Time for Federal
Employees; Roosevelt Talk

Monday will bring 300 delegates
and a total attendance of 5000 to
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, it was est1'
mated today.
Considerable local interest at
taches to the meeting because OF
the general expectation that the
A. F. of L. will take a firm stand
for improve -nent of the conditions
of Federal employees.
ForeshadoWing this action was
a vote by the metal trades depart
ment, now holding it's convention
here, for a 30-hour week for Gov
ernment workers.
3O-HOur Week
This, according to the resolution
adopted by representatives OF
100000 metal trades workers,
would be preliminary to the es-
tablishn: ont of a 30-hour week Tor
i employed persons.
The building trades and union
label departments, also rntL.,"-g IN
Washington now, are expected to
take similar action.
When their conventions are
completed. the battle for the 30
hour week will be carried to the
floor of the A. F. of L. convention
itself.
There is keen concern in or
ganized labor over the feeling that
chronological progress is already
outrunning the tendency Of the
NRA to reduce hours of work.
GOmpers Memorial
William Green, president of the
A. F. of L., addressing the metal
trades convention, brought out
this point, contending that the
Administration had stopped short
of the mark by instituting longer
Work-Weeks than the 30-hour
week.
Green will call the A. F. Of L.
convention to order Monday at 10
a. m. in the Hotel Willard ball
room. Sessions may last two
weeks, it was indicated. A fea-
ture of the program will be the
dedication of a Gompers Me-
mortal Saturday of next week,
on which occasion President
Roosevelt will make an address.

'0-HOUR WEEK FIGHT LOOMS FOR A.F OF l.
Cipher In Poe's 'Gold-Bug' Child's Play,
Says Government Crypt Analyst
lob Not "Romantic"
to Coast Guards
Young Expert

The cipher in Poe's famous
"Gold-bug" would have been
child's play to Elizabeth Smith
Friedman. of the intelligence de-
partment of the United States
Coast Guard.
But Poe, Mrs. Friedman be-
lieves, would have been a success
himself as crypt analyst, the
highly technical name for the JOB
she holds in the Guard.
Mrs. Friedman, young, pretty
and as smart as they make 'em,
is chief of the bureau in the de-
partment which handles secret
messages, codes, ciphers, etc.
1t is a romantic job for a girl,
although Mrs. Friedman doesn't
regard it in that light. In fact,
she says:
81 never thought of it being
romantic until you newspaper
people came around and told
me it was"
The old controversy whether
or not Sir Francis Bacon wrote
Shakespeare'S plays and con-
cealed his real message in cipher,
first interested Mrs. Friedman
in the subject. From literary to
military cipherS was an easy step
and the war found the young
enthusiast in the employ of the
U. S. Government handling secret
messages.
Trains Own Staff
Later she was transferred to
the Treasury Department and
about two years ago to the posi-
ton she now holds. Recently she
was given a staff to train in the
work. There is, she says, no uni
versity or college offering courses
in the subject.
Her department handles secret
messages Cor supposedly secret)
exchanges between smugglers,
rum runners, and other law vio-
lators. Until recently the liquor
angle of the departments work
was of vast Importance. 1t
promises now to yield to the
illicit narcotic and alien traffic.
Many Of the codes, Mrs. Fried
man finds. display a high de-
gree of intelligence. The vast
organizations behind the snug
IS realize that they must de-
velop enormous cunning to evade
detection by the Federal Govern
ment. The ciphers are complex
but few are untranslatable. Mrs.
Friedman says:

FRAME CODE

The Pharmacists Society Of
the District of Columbia last
night organized itself into a

Zoo to Get Mates
For Lonely GnUS

"The National Geological

ment of Mr.. EIand to Miss

MeSSrs. White-taiIed Cum"
That probably isn't the way DR..
William M. Mann, director of the
zoo, will report the acquisition OF
three new specimens shortly, but
anyway Louis Ruhe, international
animal dealer, has promised to
loan a mate for the zoos single
Gland, a big African antelope
and mates for its two female
white-tailed gnus. Offspring will
be the property of the ZOO.
The Washington times., 1933-09-29

Vast international organizations,
she says, control both; organiza-
tions directed by men of the high
est intelligence. Their profits run
into millions.
Mrs. Friedman's department is
concerned chiefly with these two
branches of the smuggling traffic.
Jewel smugglers, etc., seldom have
to restort to ciphers to communl-
cate with each other. The time
element is not so important nor is
the scope of their operations so
vast.
Going back to Poe, she says:
"He had a real flair for the
business. But in his day the
DECIDING of ciphers was not SO
highly technical business.
Today it is a true science"

General Crosby, who resigned
early in March, has remained in
office at the request of the
President, pending the long de-

He was granted 80 days leave

KING C0NFERS
ON LIQUOR Law
FOR DISTRICT
Senator Sees Bride on Plans
For Drafting Act; FaVors
Swedish Control Plan

Plans for liquor control in
washington when prohibition is
repealed moved forward today as
Senator William H. King CD OF
Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, conferred with
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride on drafting legislation.
The meeting was preliminary to
numerous conferences to deal
with the problem, Senator King
said.
Hasty Action Opposed
The Senator said careful con-
sideration must be given to this
proposition and that 1--WE must
not act prematurely." He con-
tinued:
1--WE did not agree on any
thing concrete. Right now 1
am in a receptive mood for all
suggestions on liquor control
here. We must all be educated
on this problem"
Working on the assumption
that the Eighteenth Amendment
will be repealed prior to the
convening of Congress, January
3, Senator King and Bride tank
it would be wise to be prepared
with a bill for presentation to
Congress Immediately.
FavOrs Swedish Ian
Senator King is believed to be
favorable to the Bratt control
system as practiced in Sweden
whereby liquor is sold exclusively
by a private corporation similar
to a public utility and under
strict government supervision.
Ir the event Congress author
ICES the return of the saloon
which is doubted, it is possible
the Rhode Island act will serve
as a model. This gives State.
wide control over saloons.

TRADE IN FURS
INCREASED BY
buy DRIVE
D. C. Shops Find Business Has
Been Raised Above Level
Of Last Year

Buying and selling of furs in
September, when there is a nor
NAL seasonal increase, is not a
particularly good guidepost of a
return to better times unless
there is more activity than usual
during the period.
It is therefore an excellent
sign that things are picking up
when local furriers report that
their business in the past month
has been better than it was at
the same time last year.
Sales Best In Year
Further than that, one Wash
ington fur dealer asserts that his
sales have been greater in Au-
gust and September than they
have for a number OF years.
The statement came as a result
of interviews with several local
furriers made by The Washington
Times to gauge the results of the
NRA and the Buy in September"
campaign being conducted by
The Times and Hearst neWspa-
pers throughout the nation.
In previous surveys OF local re-
tail trades, recent gains IN sales
have been reported by furniture
stores, jewelers., shoe stores,
haberdashers, confectioners, wom-
ems clothiers, photographers, ad-
vertising agencies, radio dealers,
delicatessens, department stores,
book dealers, florists, employment
agencies and druggists.
Saks Sees Improvement
Praising the "Buy in Septem-
ber" drive, Jerome Saks, of the
Saks Fur Company, states that
his establishment has recently en-
joyed excellent business. He says:
"It is the best in a number
of years."
Benjamin S. Francke of the
fur store bearing his name has
noticed a distinct rise in buying
since the first of August. He
says:
ever since the NRA really
got under way we have seen
gradual pickup. This week has
been especially good. Pros
poets were never better"
A gain in sales over last year
is also reported by Dewey Zirkin,
president of Zirkin's fur store.
He states:
"In both the number Of trans
actions and in dollar volume,
September, this year, has been
ahead of September, last year."
Praises "Buy" Drive
Zirkin believes the BUY in Sep
tember" movement to be very
splendid idea" His words were:
"The Times is to be cOmpli-
mented for doing such excellent
work. 1t is helping to bring to
the attention of the public the
fact that business is on the up
grade rather than the down
grade. This is helping to in
crease confidence"
Characterizing recent business
as a helpful increase" Barnard
Chessin of Bernard's Furs, asserts
that he is looking forward to a
good winter.
In reporting a recent boost in
business, Washington fur dealers
join with dozens upon dozens of
other local retailers in demon
strating that better times are
really at hand, that many people
are at work, and that more money
is in circulation.
