DRAFT CODE
FOR O|LMEN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. U.H =
Writing code of fair competition
for the Oil industry was turned
over today to Secretary Of Interior
Ickes after oil men and National
Recovery Administration officials
had failed to reach satisfactory
basis for further negotiations.
Ickes was drawn into the oil sit
uation when protracted conferences
among the oil men and MIRA ad-
illustrators had reached a point
where further progress appeared to
be blocked.
The controversy within the indus
try over price fixing led to the
seeming deadlock with MIRA Off.
Gals.
James A. Moffett, who resigned
his 100000 Standard Oil of New
Jersey vice presidency, also was eX-
pected to have an important part i'll
the oil proceedings from now OH.
1t was learned that Moffett has
been in frequent consultation with
Ickes, even before the latter was
drawn into the writing of the code.
It was understood that Ickes and
Moffett were dissatisfied with many
Of the provisions of the code as it
was being shaped in conferences
which followed the initial oil hear
ings. Oil men have been advised
their presence will not be required
here for a week. 1t was expected
that by that time a rewritten code
could be completed.
Moffett is expected to be a lead
ing influence in administration of
code after it has been adopted.
His break with Walter c. Teagle,
president of the Standard Oil Of
New Jersey, was regarded as VIC
tory for the progressive element
within the industry.

CANDH| GETS
YEAR IN JAIL

POONA, India, Aug. 4. W.H-Ma-
hatma M. K. Gandhi was sentenced
to one years imprisonment today
after he refused a government offer
to release him provided he remain
ed in Poona and refrained from in
diligence in civil disobedience ac-
tivitieS.
Gandhi, in and out of Jail for
years as the result of his swaraj
or home rule campaigns, was IN
prison early in May when he be-
gan a 2l-day fast as a gesture IN
token of the unhappy lot OF the
millions of Hindu "untouchables. -
The government, fearing he might
become a martyr if his health suf-
fered while he was in prison, re-
leased him. Gandhi stuck out the
fast, the latest of series, and re-
tanned his liberty
Several days ago he made plans
for march through the country
with 80 followers, intending to
preach disobedience of British laws
by inviduals rather than by groups
He was arrested few hours be-
fore he was to start Tuesday morn
ing. Officials considered his case
and decided to release him If he
would promise to abandon his ac-
tivities but to sentence him formal
" to Jail if he refused.

The principal points in this pro-

2. Far-reaching investigation. No

3. Extensive use of secret agents

S. Constant warfare on the rank

6. Secret Investigations. No pub
licity in a case until news OF de-
velopments will not hamper the

I do not believe in the use of
gangster methods to combat gangs.

The memorandum explained in

the code about which Donald Rich

The National Recovery Act set
aside $25, 100000 for loans for this
purpose Secretary of Interior
Ickes has held preliminary confer
ences and now is considering what
sort of an administrative organi-
cation he shall set up.
The plan has several detectives.
One is to get farmers off bad land
and on good soil that is capable of
yielding a living. Another is to get
working men out of the cities into
suburban areas. A third is to
spread out industries, get them
away from congested metropolitan
areas and out in the open air
where employees may live on their
own plots of ground.

mining, cannot support all of their

peak capacity and this plan would
help them locate on farms.
1t would enable villages now
going to seed to establish small
part time industries so that young
men instead of drifting to the
cities to get work could divide their
time between the village factories
in winter and the fields in sum-
mer.
1t sounds very idyllic but some
good hard heads think there is OPP
portunity to give real chance to
millions of families to live a more
rounded and secure life.
Mr.. Roosevelt is giving thought
to doing some such thing in the I'M
employed coal regions. His recent
approval Of the Casper-Alcova
dam project in Wyoming-on which
re-hearings have been ordered
was essentially for this purpose
because it would put some $4,000
acres under irrigation and provide
livelihood for farmers now on
hopeless land.
Those fostering the project see
no reason why many factories in
New York should not move so OF
100 miles out Henry Ford has
encouraged the setting up of small
parts factories in rural villages
where employees can work part OF
the year inside and operate their
farms in season.

BOMBS CLOSE
STOCK MART
Exchange Closed For Day
When Tear Gas Forces
Brokers To Quit.
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
nited Press Staff Cnrracuondf

Umted freSS stan correspondent
NEW YORK, Aug. 4. = Acrid
fumes from tear gas bombs spread
through the New York Stock Ex-
change today, drove traders from
their posts and forced the directors
to close the big mart and suspend
trading for the remainder of the
session.
Although no serious injuries
were caused, the gas irritated the
eyes and noses of the men of fin
ance, who scurried from the floor
as the first cloud of gas rolled out
of the ventilating system.
First reports were that an am
monia pipe had broken. Later
page boy revealed that someone had
put tear gas in a ventilator. Fire
men were first to be summoned.
Then came members of the New
York bomb squad.
Allen L. Lindley, president,
said cylinder of tear gas had been
found in one of the intakes, through
which air is drawn, cooled and re-
leased into the big trading room.
Brokers rushed into Wall street
and Exchange place with tears
streaming from their eyes, and
holding handkerchiefs to their
noses. They were treated by first
aid squads from the fire depart
ment.
The incident spread excitement
through the financial district,
where thousands of brokers were
at lunch. Brokers tried to recall
their employees to compile closing
lists of prices.
About 1900 persons were on the
floor of the exchange when the gas
began rolling across an area where
some 20 quotation reporters were
busy at their machines. They glanc-
ed at the smoke cloud curiously,
then began coughing and rubbing
their eyes. The cloud spread rapidly
on currents of air from the ven-
tilatorS.
Patrolman James Pillhart, one of
the first police officers to arrive,
reported finding a second bomb.
He said both were about 8 inches
long and of the type issued only
to the army and police.
Today's was the most sudden
break in stock exchange trading
in modern history, and recalled
closing of the exchange on Sep
TENDER 16, 1920, when bomb was
exploded near the sub-treasury
causing 80 deaths and 100 injuries
in the financial district.
On December 16 1885, fire des-
troyed the Exchange building, and
on August 2, 1921, the morning
session was suspended because of a
fire in the annunciator board.
The exchange, under present
plans, will resume trading Monday.
Saturday is a holiday under re-
cent rules of the governing COM
mittee.

WAR
ON GANGSTERS
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Umteu frcSS Staff correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. -Crea-
ton of an American Scotland Yard
to war against racketeers and kid
napers is proposed by Chairman
Copeland of the senate committee
which will begin an inquiry into
the underworld in New York Aug
ust IA.
Copeland left last night for New
York where he will conduct a series
of open hearings that will shift
to Chicago and ultimately here in
preparation for legislation by con-
gress next winter.
THE government simply must
assume that federal laws are being
violated in the kidnap racket,
Copeland told the United Press
I'm these days of airplanes anc
automobiles 1t is impossible tt
know when a state line is going tt
be crossed.
my idea is to create an Amer
lean Scotland Yard. The governor
of each state would recommend
to the justice department bureau
of investigation a police officer for
training in federal methods. After
a training period, the state officer
would resign his state job to ac-
cept appointment as federal in
vestigator. But he would return to
his home state and accept appoint
ment also as $1-a-year police Of
ficial from the governor. That would
give the trained investigator both
federal and state authority.
I'm that way the federal govern
ment could have on the job from
the outset of any investigation a
trained man prepared Immediately
to assume full charge of the case
if the crime appeared upon in
qIliry to come within the scope OF
federal law"
Copeland discussed his plan with
Louise Howe, presidential secretary
and the justice department. He said
the federal government was anxious
to cooperate in misunderstanding
efforts. President Roosevelt has as
signed Assistant Secretary of State
Moley to make an intensive study
of kidnapping.
Copeland hopes early next ses-
sion to obtain passage of his fire
arms control bill which would reg
ulate interstate commerce in such
weapons.
