MOVES OFFICE

This is moving day for large
part of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, which is leaving the
Commerce Department building
to take up new quarters in the
Standard Oil Building at Third
and Constitution Avenue North
west.
The Commerce building, once
known as "Hoover's Folly" be-
cause of its vast size and the feel
ing that it would never be fully
occupied, is now overcroWded,
thanks to the influx of the NRA,
the Home Loan Board and the
Home owners Loan Corporation,
and it became necessary for some
body to get out.
The offices moved are those OF
the treasurer, Patrick j. Maloney,
and two assistant treasurerS,

SON
SEES EUROPE
FOR PEACE
Says Things Are Improving on
Continent; Enthusiasm Felt
for Recovery

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 G.N.SJ.-A
Europe on the upgrade confidently
and patiently looking forward to
better times and stronger feel
ing for peace among the people
than he had encountered on his
five previous trips were reported
by James Roosevelt, son OF the
President, who returned from
Naples today on the liner Rex. He
said:
Things are distinctly on the
upgrade over there and there
is confidence throughout Europe
that things are improving. Eu.
rope also feels that it will take
time, but there is marked will
ingneSS to wait"
Had .43-Day Trip
With him was his wife, who had
accompanied him on the 43-day
trip in which they had lunched
with Prime Minister j. Ramsay
Macdonald at 10 Downing Street,
met Albert Lebrun, President OF
France, interviewed Mussolini and
had an audience with the Pope.
They were met at the pier by
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The man on the street in the
European capitals was especially
pacifistic in his attitude today.
Young Roosevelt said. He gave
the answer of a French barber
who had cut his hair as an
example:
Nobody wants war, and, any
way, who would pay for 1t? We
are all bust"
THEY'RE ENTHUSIASTIC
Pressed for an answer to the
question of what Europe thought
about his fathers recovery efforts
in America, he said:
"They're very enthusiastic
about it."
AS for Mussolini, it. seemed to
Roosevelt that the Italian die
tator was taking it easier after IL
years Of Fascism.
AS for repeal of prohibition.
England and France were enthusl-
astic about that and expected TO
make a lot of it."

ONE BALLS OUT;
PLANE SAVED

In one Of the most unusual &C.
cidentS in the history of aircraft,
an Army plane bound for Wash
ington yesterday, lost its pas
senger, but saved itself and its
pilot.
Lieut.. Fabian Pope, of Langley
Field, Va, flying from Pittsburgh
to Boiling Field with Pvt. John
Gault as passenger, found his
plane in a tailspin near Cumber-
land, Md, and motioned his COM
panion to leap for his life.
Gault jumped. His parachute
landed him IN rocky, wooded ter
ritory. But a few moments later,
as Lieutenant Pope was preparing
to bail out, the ship inexplicably
righted itself.
Unable to ground the plane in
the wild region, Pope continued
on to Washington, where authori-
ties notified Cumberland police.
An hour later Gault was found in
a farmhouse, slightly injured by
his fall.

RUSSIAN AGENT
I. TODAY To SEE
ROOSEVELT
Conversations Not Yet Ready
for Announcement; Sue
cess Seems Certain

BY International News Service
Discussions with Maxim Litvi.
noff, Soviet foreign commissar,
concerning American recognition
OF the Soviet Union, were de.
scribed as "going forward" by
Secretary of State Hull today.
Hull made this statement as he
resumed conversations with the
Soviet statesman. M. Litvinoff will
confer with President Roosevelt
ct the White House late today, but
Secretary Hull said he could not
state whether that conference
would be the last meeting between
Litvinoff and the President.
No Announcement Yet
The discussions with Litvinoff
have not advanced sufficiently to
permit disclosure of details, he
said.
The belief prevailed, however,
that the conferees were engaged
IN drafting plan of procedure
Tor settlement of the outstanding
issues between the two nations,
such as debt and damage claims
and trade arrangements after dip
1omatic relations have been re.
stored.
While Russian circles optimisti-
cally predicted the discussions
would result in recognition before
the end of the week, the Amer.
leans would not go this far. AL
though still confident an under
standing will be reached provid.
ing for recognition, American of.
11cials said it was impossible to
predict whether this would be &C.
complished by the end of the
week.
Trade Big Feature
Indicating that the develop.
ment Of trade between the two
nations will form an important
part in the discussions that follow
recognition, both Jesse H. Jones,
chairman of the RFC, and Henry
Morgenthau, jr., governor of the
farm credict administration, were
invited to attend a formal State
luncheon which Hull rendered
Litvinoff.
Senator Couzens (R.) of Mich
fgan and Attorney General Cum
mings also were invited to attend.
The other guests included the
Russian party and the American
officials who are participating in
the conversations.

IN RANKS
SHEARS FARM
PICKET LINE
Strikers Desert Iowa Roads
As Foes of Violence Win
New Recruits

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 9
N.S0.-Threatened with over
whelming opposition from within
their own ranks, farm strike
pickets practically deserted north
western Iowa highways today
and movement of farm products
to market was restored almost to
normal.
Another Flaw and order
league" the third to be organized
within two weeks, was formed at
Lemars. Some 500 farmers, many
Of them sympathetic with the
strike but opposed to violence,
pledged themselves to keep high
ways open and to put down rural
disorders rampant for two weeks.
Leaders Elected
Divided into district companies,
the farmers elected leaders for
each district. Their leaders were
to call them into action if
pickets appear. In some sections
where picketing has been most
prevalent, constant highway pa
trolls were being maintained.
A similar organization, formed
at Glenwood last week, broke up
picketing in Mills county within
"a hours.
Henry Brosamle, elected presi-
dent Of the Law and Order
League at Lemars, denied that
Sioux City Stockyards were behind
the organization.
Outbreak QuelIed
Sheriff j. M. Robertson, of Ma
son City, quickly quelled an out
break of picketing near Mason
City. He swore in so deputy sher-
ifs and warned two picket posts
that the pickets would be run in"
if highway travel were interfered
with.
The strike movement apparently
has waned also in Wisconsin. Vio-
lence had practically ceased.

FARLEY CALLED.
To SPEED NEW
RELIEF PLAN
State Executives to Confer
With Hopkins on Drive
to Hire 100000
BY international News Service

Governors of States, State re-
lief administrators and quick
action" executives from private
life today were summoned to
meet Harry l.. Hopkins next
Wednesday before starting a 30
day drive to provide work for
100000 Of the present unem-
ployed now receiving relief with
the help of Federal and State
funds.
Hopkins has switched his ma
ton wide relief organization into
State agencies for employment,
under President Roosevelt'S new
civil works program.
PWA Still to Function
The new organization will not
supersede the huge Public Works
Administration under Secretary
of Interior Ickes, disbursing rem
nants of more than $4,000, 900, 900
for employment-giving public
buildings and highways.
Instead, the new civil organiza-
ton will absorb some $400,000,-
900 of public works money for
immediate employment on pro-
jects of it's own. No contracts
will be let; there will be no
hitch such as held up public
works employment in state after
state.
Rapid Action Planned
Much of the preliminary set-up
will be complete before the con"
ference Wednesday. Hopkins will
tell his conferees what the Pres
ident wants, explain the new Or
ganization, and tell them to go
back home and put men to work.
Meanwhile, some million or
more heads of families will re-
main on relief rolls. In six
states the Federal Government
has assumed complete RESPONSE
bility, Kentucky having been
added to the others.
The Government will procede
with it's surplus commodity pur-
chases for relief purposes. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace
sadie he expected the new plan
to help agriculture rather than
hinder recovery through possible
curtailed Government purchases.
