j. s. NEARS END
Of NEW JOBS

Indications that the emergency
organizations established under
new Federal legislation have
reached practically the satura-
tion point, so far as hiring new
employees is concerned, appears
in the current report from the
Civil Service Commission as to
unemployment of ousted workers,
which shows that only three per-
sons we're taken on the payrolls
last week and that 1900 are still
seeking jobs.
In July, 554 civil service en-
ployes were reemployed. The
total for August, from such
figures as are available, is
apparently only 145.
The "job" moratorium" re-
Gently invoked in the NRA has
checked hiring there, and re-
ports are that the force will be
cut before long, though writing
and rewriting codes still pro-
ceeds industriously. The Public
Works Administration is the
only unit that seems likely to
hire much help, and there the
process is expected to be slow.

LC.C. Renews Fight to Ban
Wooden Railroad Cars

the use of wooden mail cars,
Congress consistently has failed
to act on the commissions re-
commendation.
AS far back as 1913. the com
mission had this to say concern
ing substitution of steel and steel
underframe passenger cars for
those of wooden construction:
"The superiority of these
modern cars over the Old-styIe
wooden cars has been amply
demonstrated by their per-
fOrmance in both collisions and
derailments, and to insure that
all carriers make proper efforts
to procure these modern. cars,
legislation should be enacted
prohibiting the use of wooden
cars in high speed through
train service after certain
date"
Congress Failed to Act
Year after year the plea has
been the same but always Con-
gress has failed to act.
Members Of the commission,
who declined to be quoted,
pointed out that a large pro-
portion of train accidents are
due to dereliction of duty on the
part of employees.

STRAW
VOTE FREES
LAMSON
so Trial Listeners Express An
Opinion; As Declare He Is
Innocent of Crime
BY ERNESTINE BALL

SAN JOSE, Cal. Sept. 7 G.N.S).
You can almost feel the concen-
tration of the mass mind here in
this courtroom where the State
charges that David Lamson was
seized with the impulse to kill,
and Dashed in the head of his
wife, Allene, in the bathroom Of
their Stanford campus home on
the morning of May 80.
Yesterday, when Lamson left
the witness stand, straw vote
was taken of so men and women
who have listened to the testi-
mony for days, who have followed
every word that Lamson himself
said on the stand, who have daily
searched the face of David Lam
son to find the riddle of his soul.
See Quick Acquittal
Forty-five said that they believe
David Lamson is innocent, and
that the jury will acquit without
delay.
"NO one could listen to him
on the stand and believe him
guilty."
That was their verdict. One
man and several women wiped
away tear as they pointed out
that Lamson seemed 80 sincere,
so controlled, yet really grief
stricken"
But five there were Of the
group observation-disclosures women
and two men who still unhesi-
tatingly stated that "Lamson is
guilty, but the prosecution hasn't
linked him up to the crime, and
he probably will be acquitted"
Ten Are in Doubt
Ten out of the so interrogated
refused to answer-three women
and two men stating that they
are still in doubt and the others
refusing to comment.
The group questioned repre-
sents those who have been the
most constant visitors in the
courtroom, and they were asked
while the spell of the effect that
David Lamson made on the wit
ness stand was still upon them.

he has been charged with do

"This pathological picture of
David-a man half human and

know that it is too absurd to

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 7 G.N.S0
Laying the cornerstone of the
Federal building today, Postmas-
ter General Farley said there is
to be a re-dedication of one Of
Virginia's greatest cornerstones of
government-the right and re-
sponsibility of each State to meet
and solve questions of local State
concern. He said:
"That there is to be such
a re-dedicatiOn when Virginia
votes on repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment on October
3, I have not the slightest
doubt. Before the end of 1888
we shall see the Eighteenth
Amendments police regulation
grated onto the frame of the
Constitution moved from
that Constitution where it never
should have been placed.
"In the circumstances, you Of
Virginia have an especial re-
spOnsibility in this cOnteS st.

tiOns are based, everything in
which your political faith and
ideals are grounded calls to you

SEX BIAS IN CODES WGILANTLY WATCHED
Miss Anderson Eyes
Agreements as to
Women Workers

Constant vigilance over the in
dustrial codes to prevent sex dis
elimination is being maintained
by the Woman'S Bureau of the U.
S. Department of Labor of which
Miss Mary Anderson is head.
Charges that such discrimina-
tions have crept into the codes
have been made by the National
Woman's Party, militant feminine
organization.
Women throughout the country
have been urged by Mrs. RooSe-
velt to protest the permanent
adoption of codes in which the
principle of equal pay for equal
work" is not observed.
Says Miss Anderson:
"We are watching the tenta-
tive codes. So far only one
permanent code has been
adopted in which there is a
different wage scale for men
and women. And in this it is
only a matter of wording. AS
a matter of fact the actual
work in this particular in
dustry is different for men and
women. 1t is unfortunate,
however, that the work was not
specifically stated"
Representatives Of Miss Ander-
sons bureau attend each code
hearing. They say they have
found the administration entirely
sympathetic. Industry, however,
is not so impartial.

EEBEAUT|ES
DISQUALIFIED
BY DAVID P. SENTNER

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 6
GN.SD Three beauties were dis
qualified today from competition
for the title of Miss America" in
the revival of the Atlantic City
beauty pageant.
Armand T. Nichols, director gen.
eral of the pageant, informed In
ternational News Service of the
disqualifications after an investi-
cation of charges that there had
been illegal entries in the battle
of pulchritude.
The three pretties unwittingly
violated the rules of the pageant
by coming from States other than
those they represent.
The names of the beauties we're
withheld by Director Nichols to
save the girls from the public
embarrassment which might at
tend such a disclosure. They will
be permitted to participate in the
events but their Identities will be
made known to the judges who
will ignore them in their de-
liberations.
The girls, interviewed by Inter
national News Service, admitted
innocently violating the laws of
the pageant.
They attributed the mistake to
a promoter who assured them
that they could represent a State
other than the one in which they
resided.

1900 HOUSES
DESTROYED BY
TEXAS STORM
Doctors Take Steps to Halt
Malaria Outbreak; Relief
Trains Arrive

HARLINGEN, Tex, Sept. 7
G.N.S0.-Bodies Of 18 victims
have been recovered from the hur-
ricane zone, Red Cross officials
stated today in a report estimat-
ing that 1000 homes were de-
stroyed in the devastated lower
Rio Grande valley.
Preliminary surveys by relief
workers showed that the tropical
gale killed at least % persons, in
jured nearly 1000, and caused a
property damage of many mil
lions of dollars.
The list of dead may be in
creased as relief units check out
lying farms and villages still cut
off by paralyzed telegraph and
telephones facilities. Relief oper-
ations were being conducted from
two points, San Antonio and
Houston.
Relief Trains Arrive
Mayors of these two cities, c.
K. Quin and oscar Holcombe, re-
spectively, arrived in Harlingen
with relief trains. The one from
San Antonio consisted of six cars
of food, medical supplies, and 100
doctors and 1875 nurses.
Albert Evans, Red Cross relief
director on the scene, said that
between 5000 and 1000 families,
mostly Mexican, were destitute.
Eight thousand homes were
damaged, Evans reported.
Medical authorities were taking
all possible precaution to guard
against an outbreak of malaria.
Several towns in the valley, their
power plants destroyed, were
without drinking water. Food
was reported scarce throughout
the storm zone.
Citrus Crop Ruined
Seven bodies we're recovered
from the wreckage at Rio Hondo,
two each at Harlingen and San
Benito, one at Port Isabel, and
six at Matamoras, Mexico. Two
men were killed on ranch 13
miles from Brownsville.
The immense destruction oi
homes, business houses, and the
citrus fruit crop will apparently
exceed earlier estimates of $1,000,
900 damage.
Brownsville, a city of nearly
10000, miraculously escaped with
no known loss of life, but many
buildings were blasted away by
the tropical gale and 800 citizens
were made homeless.

Narrowing results of the Bing-

road Tuesday night, in which
most of the fatalities occurred
in a wooden car, today prompted

mission to renew its recommends
tion to Congress to abolish this
type of car.
The recommendation, hereto
fore ignored. will be contained in
the commissions annual report.
5000 Still in Use
Records of the commission
show that approximately 5000 of
this type of cars still are in use
on American railroads. It is the
commissions idea railroads
should be permitted to use
wooden cars only on branch lines
and in local service until they
can be replaced by steel.
The law, the commission
asserts, should provide that all
new cars constructed after a cer-
tain date should be made en-
tirely of steel or of steel under
