put to them by their heart broken
children on Christmas morning.
What will they say? What can they
say? What explanation can be given
the boys and girls who have been
good" in the hope Of receiving a visit
from Santa, only to awaken on Christ
mas morning and find they weren't even
on his list?
Many Have New Gifts.
The boy across the street may have
shiny new bike" the girl around
the corner may be the proud owner of
a beautiful doll that closes its eyes and
says mama" when she lays 1t on its
back.
And in these thousands Of other
homes nothing but empty stockings
stockings which, because of their very
emptiness, are filled to overlooking with
heartbreak and, all too often, bitterness.
You can do your bit toward bringing
some measure of Christmas cheer into
such homes as these. Simply buy a new
toy, new sweater, coat or other article
of wearing apparel and take it to one
OF the dozen TOY matinees" to be pre-
sented by The Star and the Warner
Bros. theaters on December 16.
Inc gut, Whatever IL Is, Will not only
serve as your ticket" to a first-class
show, but also will prove a sort of
passport" to happiness for some un-
fortunate boy or girl.
And there are thousands Of such
youngsters in Washington. The rolls
Of the various relief organizations are
cluttered with them-innocent victims
Of the greatest depression in history,
children Of parents who have been all
but knocked out by economic conditions
over which they have no control.
The gifts taken in at the various
theaters will be distributed through the
Christmas Planning Committee of the
Council Of Social Agencies, headed by
Mrs. E. H. Griffith and Mrs. Frank
Parsons. Already, approximately 5000
requests for toys and other gifts have
been received by the council, and the

In spite Of previous announcements
that only two employees of the National
Recovery Administration were made ex-
ceptions to Gen. Hugh s. Johnson's rule
making $4,000 the maximum salary in
the N. r. A., third exception has been
revealed in Miss Frances M. Robinson,
heretofore listed as secretary-stenog-
rapher for the general.
Miss Robinson has been made admin
istrative assistant to the administrator
at a base pay Of 5000, the result Of
four substantial raises in salary since
she joined the N. r. A. staff. The
general reduction Of Is per cent makes
her actual salary $3.50.
Gen. johnson set the example of low
salaries when he took Office by fixing
his own pay at $4,000, but Donald r.
Richberg, chief counsel, and Alvin
Brown, assistant administrator and ex-
ecutive officer. refused to serve within
that limit. Richberg was paid $4,000
and Brown $1,000, the base rates for
their positions in the regular establish
ment.
Secrecy Lifted.
All the others, according to past an
nouncements, came within the generals
limit, and no exception was made public
until Senator Dickinson, Iowa Repub-
lican and critic Of the N. r. A., de-
manded to see the pay roll and the fig
ureS were made available. Heretofore
pay roll figures had been kept confiden-
tial and on more than one occasion Gen.
johnson declined to discuss pay rates.
After publication of the fact, report
ers inquiring of johnson, according to
the Associated Press, were told by him !:
Il think that was one below the belt"
In the original setup Of N. r. A."
said johnson, Miss Robinson and
Bobby Stratus (Robert K. Straus, son of
the Ambassador to Franco were per-
sonal assistants to the administrator at
salary Of $4,000 year.
Expert ON Law.
"Miss Robinson came recommended
to me as an excellent administrator and
executive from R-K-O (Radio- Keith
Ohpheum Corporation). In many ways
she knows more about this law and this
organization than any one else. am
sure that nobody here ever thought she
was mere stenographer or secretary.
She has been my personal assistant
straight through"
Asked whether he had any objections
to publication of the entire N. r. A.
payroll, johnson said he had not and
that II think people will be surprised
when they see it."
Miss Robinson left q stenographic po-
sition with the Democratic National
Committee to take the job with
the N. r. A. The committee had paid
her at q rate reported to be $25 per
week, the usual salary for stenographers.
Her promotions, after becoming the gen.
erals aide, were not made known out
side the inner circle Of the N. r. A.
Because of the recent salary adjust
ments ordered by the President to put
temporary Government employees on q
basis corresponding to those paid In the
regular establishment, Miss Robinson's
base salary Is subjected to the usual
pay cut so that she actually receives
SIS, 780, or only 1920 less than the gen.
eral himself receives.
? Base Pay $2,642,1s7.
The general receives no pay-cut be-
cause he fixed his salary below the rate
usually paid department heads. Rich
berg and Brown do take the monthly
deductions, however, because Of their

Scottsboro Witness
Dies of Poisoning

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn With
the new trial of the Scottsboro
boys scheduled to begin in the next
few days, CONSERVATION has been
thrown into the camps by the
death of one of the defense's fore
most witnesses, e. L. Lewis. 1t is
thought that Lewis died of pois-
oning.
The International Labor Defense
is making an effort to determine
the definite cause of death and the
people who were last seen with
Lewis. It is known that he was
seen with strangers at his home
the day before his death. His tes-
timony at Decatur, Ala, during the
last trial was to the effect that
he had seen Victoria Price and Ru-
by Bates with Lester Carter and
Orville Gilley in the jungle the day
before the alleged attack occurred.
While he was attending the last
trial his home here was burned;
twice since the trial his life has
been threatened by the Klu Klux
Khan and emissaries of attorney
General Knight, according to a
statement made by the Internation-
al Labor Defense. The case is
scheduled to be heard November
