MOTHER, CHILD
GAS VICTIMS

A mother and her 2-year-old
son today were found dead Of gas
poisoning in a sealed room in a
rooming house in the 200 block of
E st. N. w.
The child apparently had been
put to bed early last night. After
he had gone to sleep, the mother
sealed all windows and doors with
newspapers.
A gas tube extended from wall
fixture to the head Of the bed
where it was fastened so it threw
it's fumes directly onto the small
form and it's mother beneath.
Shortly before noon, Albert E.
Burrell, landlord of the rooming
house, smelled gas.
He called the First Police Pre-
cinct and Patrolman I. Lubore was
sent to the house. He raped on
the woman's door and received no
response. When he broke open
the door, the paper sealing fell
about him.
The two forms lay peacefully on
the bed. An ambulance surgeon
from Emergency Hospital pro-
nounced both dead.
Burrell told police the woman
told him she was Mrs. Charles

child's name. She was attractive
and appeared to be about 80 years
old.
No notes and no money were
found, police said.

Personnel Status Up
Unemployment of those drop

The question of personnel in

The President also said that

Complaints to President

The Civil Service Commission

Under the emergency acts, some
agencies have been abolished and
their personnel dropped from the
Government payroll. The same
acts have establ d new
agencies, but make no provision
for transfers of employees to fill
jobs. Instead, they allow EN-,

Official Endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt today was placed
back to the plan to hasten in
dustrial recovery by temporary
enforcement of minimum wages
and maximum working hours in
all the big industries until they
draft individual working codes.
Details Of the plan were being
worked out by Brig. Gen. High S.
Johnson, administrator of the
Industrial Recovery Act.
It was made plain at the
White House that this new and
drastic step was planned on ac-
count of the delays inherent in
the adoption Of codes by basic
industries.
The President feels that, ex-
cept for a small percentage of
the industrial groups, American
business leaders are cooperating
fully in the new Setup. He
realizes, it was emphasized, that
the adoption of codes of fair
C ompetition involves many
weighty problems, some of which
can be solved only after long
and patient effort.
But he is unwilling for the
program to be delayed while
these problems are worked out.
