Thieves last night broke into
the stable home of old "Bill"

he was entering the alley where
he makes his home he was held
up and an attempt made to rob
him of his money.
Since then old "Bill'' has been
burying his money nightly in
pile of refuse in the stable. Late
yesterday afternoon, he put the
roll in a mayonaise jar and care
fully covered it with dirt and old
straw in manger. This morning
it was gone.
The money, accumulated by
eight years of patient toll, was
recently changed by Bill" from
gold into new bills. The gold he
turned into the Treasury Depart
ment at the Presidents order.

surprised at the attempt to hold

More definite indications than
ever appeared today that most Of
the Federal employees dismissed
from the regular government
establishments will have the OPP
portunity to be placed in emerg-
ency units.
While the new agencies are
growing up side by side with
established Federal offices, the
latter are declining in personnel
and in Importance. The ultimate
effect, however, will be a large in
crease in government personnel.

Setup in Brief
Secretary Ickes is chairman Of
a public works board which will
work in close cooperation with
the new organization, and Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper is chair
man of an industrial recovery
| board that is associated with
General Johnson'S agency.
Secretary Roper several weeks
ago took the initiative in the ef-
fort to retain Federal personnel
b. the intimation that many per
sons employed in the commodi-
ties division of his bureau Of for
eign and domestic commerce
would probabl..' be utilized in
General Johnson's force.
Later it appeared that the divi-
sions would not be taken over
bodily, but there is evidently a
disposition on the part of Cen

mates to utilize trained and eff

Idle Slack Taken Up
Similarly, one of the first
tasks of Joseph B. Eastman as
railroad coordinator is the place
ment of several hundred en-
ployes of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Secretary Ickes announced TO-
day that dismissals have been IN
progress for some time at the
Interior Department, and that
more would be necessary, but
that it was planned, wherever
possible, to place efficient en-
ployes in the public works
organization.
The same procedure is under
way at the Department of Agri"
culture, where large new organiza-
tions are being formed, and older
ones scrapped or reduced in i'm
portance.
Today formal announcement
was made of examinations for
emergency agricultural assistant
jobs, at salary range of $4,000
to $4,000 a year. These jobs are
not open to residents of the
District of Columbia, but are
open to Maryland and Virginia
residents.

Julius I. Peyser and Joseph P.

Wardman Real Estate Properties,
petitioned Justice Jesse C. Adkins
today in District Supreme Court
for instructions as to whether they
had power to use $4,000 assets
in the closed District National
Bank for purchase of stock in the
proposed new Hamilton National
Bank.
Vigorous opposition to the in
vestment came from w. Bissell
Thomas, representing minority
Wardman bondholderS. He con-
tended the court was without
authority to grant the power Of
investment, and that a full ac-
counting Of all assets in the bank
should be made before any Of
the assets were removed.
Justice Adkins continued the
hearing until next Tuesday to give
all parties interested an oppor-
tunity of submitting authorities
in support of their opinions. The
receivers made no recommended
tion regarding the instructions.

BOUQUET FOR TRUCK DRIVER

THERE appears to be a perpetual "op-
j en- season on truck drivers, insofar
as the motoring public and editorial
writer's are concerned. The fellows who
steer the big juggernauts along our high
ways are generously cussed by the mot
orist in a passenger car, and every time
a truck driver runs afoul of the law
newspapers cite him as a horrible eX-
ample. Nor has this column been averse
to taking crack at them.
This time, however, it is bouquet
instead of brickbat, for a truck driv-
er.
He was guiding his truck and trailer
down residential street yesterday af-
ternoon, and approached an intersec-
tion just as numerous youngsters were
on their way home from school. The
truck driver had his machine throttled
down to low speed, and it was we'll that
he did.
AT right angles to him two youngsters
were approaching on one bicycle. The
youngster operating the bicycle rode de-
liberately in the path of the truck and
dallied there, daring the truck driver to
come into his path.
Only after the youngster had passed
completely across the path of the truck
did the truck driver move his machine
and then he did it with grin on his face
whereas he would have been justified
in grabbing that youngster and busting
off the seat of his pants.
Had that truck driver not used ex-
treme caution. there might have been
another victim of truck drivers ruth
lessness" and he probably would have
faced a serious criminal charge.
We don't know who the truck driver
is nor for whom he works, but if all
truck drivers and operators of passen-
ger cars as we'll drove as carefully as
he did, California would not be second
high in the nations list of auto fatali-
ties.
And as for that youngster-we wish
we knew his parents. He endangered his
own life and that of his companion, gave
several anxious moments to hard work
ing man and made us run temperature
trying to refrain from giving him the
spanking he deserved.
We know youngsters are not respon-
sible but their parents should admonlsh
them frequently on their conduct en-
route to and from school, particularly
if the youngsters are using bicycles.
Their education should certainly include
instruction in behaving themselves while
on the street.

has been crying all night and he
did not know what strange
thing was going to happen to him
nor did he dream of the strange
ride he was soon to have.
But as Uncle Wiggily slept,
many little paws came pattering
around in the snow that hid him
from sight. After he had curled
up in the snow, some of the white
flakes caved in on the hole that
looked like a well and hid Mr..
Longears from sight.

"Oh, yes" said another. And
Well roll it down hill"
What fun," cried a third jolly
voice.
Then many furry paws began
rolling first a little SNOWFALL, and
as they rolled it the snow was so
soft that it stuck to the ball max
ing it larger all the while.
Around and around and around
the ball was rolled, and without
knowing it, the snowballers rolled
Uncle Wiggily right up inside the
great mass of white snow flakes.
Now the ball is big enough, let's
roll it down hill" shouted laugh
ing voice.
"Yes! Yes! Roll the ball down
hill" shouted many voices.
Then, all of a sudden, Uncle
Wiggily awakened but he could not
move. He was cramped up inside
SNOWFALL He wasn't hurt but he
couldn't move. And then he found
himself having strange ride, for
the ball was pushed down hill and
rolled faster and faster.
"Hurray!' cried the SNOWFALL
ers. See it gol"
"The big SNOWFALL, with Uncle
Wiggily in it, rolled down the hill
faster and faster, until, at last, it
bumped into a tree and broke
open. Out tumbled Uncle Wiggily,
shaken up, dizzy and feeling fun
ny, but not a bit hurt. He had
popped out of the SNOWFALL like a
nut out of shell.
GO lookl It's Daddicums!" cried
a little rabbit boy.
why, it's Unkie Wigl" shouted
Baby Bunty, the orphan rabbit.

as he looked at his own children

BUSINESS MAP

business conditions in the place of
the rating of fair which these COM
munities have held for several
months. The good area is also
wider in New England and the
southeastern seaboard and in some
sections of the south central
states.
According to the editor of the
business bulletin, the centers OF
automobile building are showing
activity and general car loadings,
department store sales and employ
ment show more favorable trends
than a year ago. There is much
sounder bank and financial situa-
ton than existed a year ago and
the spread between the raw ma
terial and finished products pri-
ces in the commodity lines has
been slightly narrowed.
The report states, Waiting for
the shaping of national policies
will retard business until these pol
icies are clear. Agriculture will be
given aid. Steel and other basic
industries cannot continue at low
price levels after winter has pass
ed. Commodity price trend is ap-
proximately stationary. Industrial
production and employment are
likely to show slightly better than
normal seasonal trends and build

will be better Than a year ago."
