Elimination of Enforcement
Seen by Latest Order of
Attorney General

Practical elimination of proc
hibition enforcement was de.
creed today by Major A. V.
Dalrymple, prohibition direc.
tor, in an official order issued
under instructions from Attor-
ney General Homer S. Cum
mings.
More than 1900 prohibition en-
forcement agents now scattered
through the continental bound
aries of the United States will b
dismissed or furloughed Friday
afternoon, while the entire pro-
hibition force in Alaska, Hawaii.
and Porto Rico will be abolished.
District Feels Az --........-,.
ThA District Of Columbia also
will feel the economy ak, Major
Dalrymple's official list showing
that eight prohibition enforce.
ment' employees will be let out in
the District, while "a will be let
out in bureau headquarters here.
The announcement pointed out
that all prohibition work would
be taken over in Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico by the United
States marshals.
Major Dalrymple refused to
make public the names Of EN-.
ployes who are to be dismissed
or furloughed, stating that noti-
fication of the bureaus plans had
been dispatched to all persons
concerned. He declared he pre-
ferred that they learn directly Of
their fate rather than by reading
it through the newspapers.
Hits All Grades
Included in the 1900 employees
scheduled for the ak are ad-
ministrators, attorneys, investigar
tors, special agents, secretaries.
stenographers, typists and clerks.
Maryland will lose 36 prohibi.
tion officers, while Virginia will
lose "a.
New York will lose the largest
number, 296 being slated to go in
that State. Pennsylvania will lose
80.
The dismissals or furloughs are
expected to save $4,000,000 during
the next fiscal year. Congress ap.
propriated $8,4O0,O00 for prohibt-
ton enforcement, but Budget Di.
rector Lewis H. Douglas ordered
a saving of $4,000,000.

DROPS
AERIAL TRIP
To LONDON
Decides Against Circus Stunt,
Said to Have Been Planned
BY Companion

LONDON, June 81 (I.N.S.),
Despite mysterious unofficial
arrangements for Assistant
Secretary of State Raymond
Moley to make a spectacular
aerial arrival in London after
flying from Ireland, the chief
figure of President Roosevelt s
"brain trust" remained aboard
the liner Manhattan today
when it touched Cobb, Irish
Free State.
Moley, whose arrival here is ex-
pected to lead to startling de-
velopments in the World Economic
Conference, will land at Plymouth
tonight as originally scheduled.
He will then proceed to London.
Plane Request Cancelled
In reply to a direct question
as to whether he would fly to
London, Moley sent the following
wireless message to the Interna-
tional News Service London bu.
reau from the Manhattan.
"My present plan is to ar.
rive in London by boat train"
1t was learned Moley previously
asked the American embassy to
send a plane to Cobb, but counter
manded the request later. Ar
rangements had already been
made, however. and the plane
was on it's way when the second
message came.
Although Captain Fried, Of the
Manhattan, gave out assurances
Moley had no intention of swoop-
ing down on the world parley
in circus atmosphere. the Am
erican minister in Dublin char
tered a special plane and had it
taken to Cork to pick up the
special envoy.
It was believed in London that
Herbert B. Swope, former news
paper litor accompanying Moley,
had made the arrangements as a
stunt to attract added attention
to Moley's arrival. but Moley
turned the plan down and decided
to appear on the scene in ordinary
fashion.
The plane reached Cork at mid
night, but when the ship dropped
anchor in Cobb Harbor at 6 a. M,
Moley showed no intention of 60
ing ashore. Early in the morn
ing, Moley received reporters and
made this statement:
81 am en- route to London,
bringing to Mr.. Hull and the
other American delegates re-
ports of recent economic and
legislative developments in
Washington.

Green Loses No Time AssaiIing
Code Which Industry Was
Congratulated Upon
BY International News Service


The American Federation of
Labor will attempt to block
the proposed textile code un-
less the minimum wage and
hours of labor provisions are
revised, President William
Green, of the A. F. Of L., an
nounced today.
Green's blast on the first code
formally presented under the in
dustrial recovery act came at the
conclusion of the mornings hear
ing before Administrator Hugh S.
johnson.
Adoption of the proposed textile
code will mean :@emplogna 10t
100000 additional workers, George
A.. Sloan, chairman of the Amer
ican Cotton Textile Association
said.
Testifying at the hearing Sloan
said it's effect in the industry
would be far reaching. He said
the code is intended to:
l. Check the destructive over
capacity for production;
2. Spread employment;
3. Increase purchasing power.
Means Normally
It's immediate effect, he argued,
would be to restore the industry
to a more normal condition and to
give employment to 100000 addi'
tional workers.
At the conclusion of Sloan's
presentation, johnson said that
he wanted to ask Sloan just one
thing. He asked:
at is my understanding that
by fixing a minimum wage in
this code we have eliminated
the question Of child labor. l
want to ask you if that is your
understanding tOO?"
Sloan after hesitating a moment
and calling attention to certain
exceptions in the code, replied:
''Within go days, if this code
stands, there will be no child
labor"
He had previously closed his
statement with a plea for "agree'
ment and action"
The question of child labor was
not mentioned during Sloan's state
ment and was only brought up on
Johnson's direct inquiry.
Hearings "MOmentOuS"
johnson closed Sloan's state.
ment with a word of congratula'
ton to Sloan, his association, and
the cotton textile industry.
The meeting was opened BY
johnson and followed by a pres
entation of the conditions which
will govern the hearings. This
was made by Donald r. Richberg,
counsel for the administrator,
who stressed "the partnership of
government and business"
Johnson prefaced his own re-
marks with the declaration that

KAHN SCORNS
BANK RUSH
FOR LOANS
1926-28 Belgrade Madness
Called "Cut-Throat" Method;
Refused to Enter Scramble
BY International News Service


American bank ers raced
around the world, "bidding
.foolishly and recklessly," " for
foreign securities in 1926 and
1928 to unload on the Ameri-
can investing public, Otto H,
Kahn, spokesman for Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., the private New
York banking firm of which he
is a member, told the Senate
banking inquiry today.
Kahn charged this "cutthroat
competition" for high h interest
bearing foreign bonds was ITO the
detriment of the public" He de.
MED his firm had engaged in the
scrsmb1e" Tor Foreign securities
and declined to name those firms
which did.
New Era Near
A new era in the marketing OF
securities will result from the
Roosevelt program of legislation,
Kahn predicted.
He protested vigorously against
the practice of bankers bidding
against each other for security
issues. He said:
'T remember in 1926 and
1928 when Is American bankers
sat in Belgrade bidding for
YugO-SIavian bonds. There
were a dozen more down in the
Central American States en-
gagged in cutthrOat COmpeti-
ton for securities.
"They bid fOOlishly, reckless
Iy, for business, to the detr1'
ment Of the public. 1t was cut
throat competition.
"They were paying a price,
not fixed by the security but by
their eagerness to get the
security. So far as we are con-
cerned, we will not enter that
sort of competition.
ARE NOT CHASERS
eve are engaged in a COM
petition of service and perform

ness"
Costigan asked who the IS
bankers were.
Kahn asked to be excused from
answering, saying:
'T am six years older and my
memory is not as good as 1t
was"
He expressed fear that his
answer might do some bankers
an injustice" ,
Committee members asked
Kahn to define a reasonable
spread" between the cost Of Sc
curities to the private bankers
and to the investing public.
Kahn declared:
"This depends on the type Of
securities. The spread must in
clude a reasonable cOmpensa-
ton to the originator and to
those who may be called in as
distributors or underwriters"
He explained various "riskS."
"A S5O,OOO,O0O risk mathe-
matically might be considered

YES, WE HAVE MUCH TO BE
THANKFUL FOR
(By BRUCE CATTON)

An American who has spent the last
five or six years in Europe returned to his
own country on vacation recently. Visit
ing friends in a typical American city, he
put in several days driving around the
town, its suburbs and the adjacent coun-
tryside Then, one evening, he told his
hosts:
''You people have no idea how lucky
you are to be living in America. You
can't imagine how much better off you are
than the rest of the world. Even in the
depression your workingmen and small
salaried office workers have so much more
than similar people in Europe have that
there's just no comparison.
after living in Europe for while, a
man who comes back to America feels as
if he had got to the finest country in the
world"
That sort of talk, of course, used to be
our most common boast. In the last two
or three years we haven't heard it so
often. Indeed, we have let the depression
undermine our confidence so much that
we have sometimes talked as if we were
the unluckiest of all people, instead of the
luckiest.
But we're still sitting on top of the heap,
comparatively speaking, and it wouldn't
hurt US to keep remembering it.
That doesn't mean that we should close
cur minds to the fact that we have up
wards of 100000 men out of work, that
we should forget that hunger and discour-
agement and want are abroad in the land
as seldom before, that we should become
Pollyannas and shut our eyes to all un-
pleasant sights.
1t simply means that in spite of all our
troubles we have a great deal to thank
God for, and that we can face the future
with more hope and courage if We realize
the fact,
BY keeping that in mind we can help to
advance that great American drearn-the
dream which has lowered over our hori-
zop for more than century; the dream
that in this land it would be possible to
make better life possible for the average
man, the dream that freedom and content

JOHN MARSELLUS, HENDERSON,
VILIE'S GUEST

In the Syracuse, n. Y, Post-Standard,
Paul NJ. Paine, librarian of the public Ii
brary, pays a tribute to John MarSellus,
industrial, civic and church leader of that
city, who, as has been his custom for many
years, is spending a few months in Hen
Jacksonville. Mr.. Paine acknowledges re-
ceipt from Mr.. Marsellus of a written ac-
count of his life experiences in Syracuse,
which will be preserved among the rec
ords in that city's library.
Mr.. Marsellus, who is now 81 years OF
age, has been a leader in the business and
civic affairs of Syracuse for period long
er than an average lifetime. He is dis
tinguished not only for his business sue
cess but in a more impressive way as j
Christian citizen of the highest type.
Mr.. Marsellus' health has not been good
this spring, but his many friends in Hen
Jacksonville and this section are hoping
that it will be improved by his stay here.
The Times-News takes pleasure in add
ing this tribute to the record of a worthy
man-JOhn Marsellus, honorable and sue
cessful business man, friend of education,
of the church, humble follower of The
Nazarene.

That's what we, the American people, pay for
arson.
In any period, arson is a prevalent and danger
Gus crime In periods of depression it increases
amazingly This year home fires are 80 to 40
per cent greater than they were last year. Prop

answer in many cases.
Again, there are arson rings which make a bust
ness of collecting thousands Of dollars through in
cendiary fires. There was gang in Philadelphia
which would, buy a number of old and broken
down horses and put them in an isolated stable,
claiming them to their stalls. Insurance policies
were then taken out equal number of valu-

was reduced to ashes-and the gang collected. The

to the convenience of general
business, and enable people to
