ANOTHER CHILD
 DISAPPEARS IN
 R0XBURY, MASS
Two Young Girls Missing for 10 Days and Now One More Cannot Be Found

Boston, March 3.-(UP)-Rox- bury parents to-day asked for ad- ditional police protection for their children when a girl failed to re- turn home on the 10th day after the disappearance of two other girls.
 Constance M. Alconada, g, van- ished from the front yard of her Ruggles street home late yesterday and had not returned this morning. as police continued desperate search for June Bolduc, 8, and Helen Lindenman, g, who disap- peared February 21.
 Three other children, two of them girls and the other a negro boy, were reported missing for several hours yesterday, but re- turned home last night.
 It was learned that authorities sought a mentally deficient man who assaulted two young girls in this section Wednesday. It was be- lieved his capture might lead to some clue regarding the missing children.
 Police dynamited Muddy river for several hundred yards to ascertain whether the bodies of the girls had been caught under the ice. Their efforts, however, were unsuccess- full, and to-day fire sluction pumps were to be used to stir up the wa ter and dislodge the bodies if they were in the river.
 Admond Paubhus, 40, of Central Falls. R. l., who said he was a psychic, made an unsuccessful attempt to locate the bodies. A West Hanover woman told police she had seen man with two girls whose description tailed with those of the Bolduc and Lindenman chill dren in Brockton last Friday.

 America Facing New Era
 Regarding Roosevelts general policies as president, MT Creel says: Ut is Roosevelt's fixed belief that Americ9 has come to the end of an era-the era of unplanned, un- controlled and wasteful production, and that what we are now endur- ing Is in no sense a slump, but the breakdown of a system. He holds that the sole purpose of an econ omic order is to provide those who live under 1t with the necessities of life and freedom from the fears of existence. Failing, it must give way to a new and better order. He feels that the utter failure of the | present system stands, amply | proved.
 Beaten paths, in his opinion. lead only to morasses. Trail blaz- ing is commanded by common sense, and the task is one that makes particular appeal to his ar dent temperament, for no man was ever less bound by precedent and | tradition.
 "Collective effort-collectivism | is the order of the day. Both fas cism and communism, however, are equally repellant to Roosevelt g democratic mind, and the road he means to travel lies between. It is the road that Woodrow Wilson pointed out. The faith of Wilson comes close to being Roosevelt's re- | ligion.
 | New President Confident
 "The new president is serenely confident. A large part of his con- | fidence comes from keen recogni- | tion of the fact that he was not | elected by a party, but by an over- whelming popular revolt against stand-pat theories of government. He knows that November was not a democratic victory but a triumph | for progressivism. He will employ increasing effort to strengthen and | make permanent the campaign al- liance between progressive demo- crats and progressive republicans. | forcing the .reactionaries of both parties into an opposite camp and | thus permitting political division to be made along economc lines rath- CT than sectional.
 'It will be his effort to speak for the nation, not only proposing measures, but agitating for them. | Nothing is more certain than that | the next four years will see the most highly articulate president in | the history of the republic"

PREVAILING PAY.
CONTROVERSY
IS REVIVED
3rickIayers Declare CataIano
Refuses to Honor Order
Of Commissioners

The trouble over wage law vio-
lations on District projects flared
anew today when 26 bricklayers
protested that Dominic Catalano,
president of the Catalano Con-
struction Company, of Baltimore,
has refused to pay money they
claim is due them under the re-
cent ruling of the District Com
missioners.
After a public hearing, at
which it was brought out that
the construction company was
paying workmen on a school
building here wages far below
the prevailing scale, the Commits
sioners ordered Catalano to pay
the workmen the difference be-
tween the wages they had re-
ceived and the prevailing wage.
Told to GO to Italy"
The 26 bricklayers now claim
they called on Catalano at his
office in Baltimore and were told
they could go to Italy and back"
before he would pay them.
In the meantime complaints
have come in from iron workers
and others on the job that they
are receiving less than the pre-
vailing wage.
The District Commissioners,
however, refused to make any
comment, declaring the matter
was up to Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride. Brit,e, how
ever, declared he is Unable to
act at present.
The Commissioners granted
Catalano 10 days in which to pay
the sums due, Bride said, and un-
til the expiration of that period,
next Thursday, he can do nothing.
If, at the end of that time, Cata-
lano still refuses to pay. Bride
will recommend the contract be
cancelled, he said,
Short Wages Alleged
At the hearings held on the
wage disputes, it was brought out
that the construction company
was paying carpenters so to so
cents an hour instead of the pre-
vailing scale OF 81; thai brick
layers we're getting 6212 cents in
stead of $1.50; that hodcarriers
were paid 35 cents instead of rs
cents and that laborers got 25
cents instead of 35 cents.
Bride today planned to confer
with the Commissioners on the
advisability of holding public
hearings to establish prevailing
wages in this vicinity. He also
will talk with Howard Colvin,
commissioner of conciiiltion of
the Department of LaUcr.

ATTORNEY HELD
IN SUIT RACKET

Waving preliminary hearing
on charges of false pretenses,
Thomas Radwell, 81, an attorney,
was held under $1,500 bond for
action of the grand jury when
arraigned in Police Court today
in connection with what police
say is a new damage-suit racket.
Radwell, who lives at the Sen
ate Hotel, called upon families
of deceased accident victims, ac-
cording to police, and offered to
represent them in damage suits.
Posing as an associate of a
prominent Washington attorney,
Radwell would agree to take the
cases and then ask that bond"
be posted with him to cover the
court costs, it was said.
After Radwell received the
money, nothing more would be
heard of him or the claim for
damages, it was claimed. Police
said they found an address book
containing 81 names in his pos
session.
The specific charges against
,Radwell so far involve $565 al
legedly received from three per-
sons.

Accusing Fireman William A.
Gee, of No. 10 Engine Company,
of misconduct with their 16-year-
old maid, Mrs. Anna May Gee,
1900 block Neal Street Northeast,
filed suit for absolute divorce to-
day in District Supreme Court.
The parties were married No
vember "a, 1928, and have one
child. They lived together, the
bill recited, until last July 4, when
the wife asserted her independence
and left their home, taking the
child with her.
Mrs. Gee declared her husband,
under an assumed name, took part
in staging indecent shows in this
city and at a nearby Maryland
amusement resort.
She charged that prior to hir-
ing the 16-year-old maid, her hus-
band brought a married woman
to their home. The suit was filed
through Attorney Edward L. Mart

HOME BONDS

The Washington representative
of one of the country's largest in
surance companies today notified
Charles A. Jones, manager of the
District branch of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, his
company would decide each case
of defaulting mortgages held by
them on its merits.
The insurance company, invest
ing it's funds in mortgages, holds
notes on property in washington,
much Of which is in default.
Heretofore the company and many
others have refused to consider
acceptance of corporation bonds
for their mortgages.
Appraisers reports on num-
ber of properties on which loans
are sought from the Home Own
ers Loan Corporation are ex-
pected to reach Mr.. Jones today
and, if the appraisals warrant,
search of the titles is to be or
dered.
Mr.. Jones expects to take final
action on several applications
next week. Each of them in
wolves persons who are faced
with foreclosures or who have
been ordered from places because
of failure to keep up payments.
Extensions of time have been
granted in all these cases.
Since the Treasury Department
announced it will accept the Cor
poration's bonds at face value
and since the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation will lend up
to 80 per cent of their face value,
Washington mortgage holders are
showing themselves quite willing
to accept the 15-year, per cent
bonds, which are tax free.

BANK ASSETS
Reserve Examiners o. K. Put
On Hamilton; R. F. C. Loan
To Speed Opening

Federal Reserve Examiners have
completed their examination of
assets of eight closed banks in the
city to be taken over by the Ham
ilton National Bank, it was an
nounced at the Treasury today,
revealing a 100 per cent liquidity
of assets of the new institution.
It was disclosed that the exam
ination by the Federal Reserve
System is in line with previous
examinations by the Comptroller
and Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and it's results make the
Hamilton National eligible for
membership in the Federal Re.
serve System.
Opening Speeded
Eligibility for membership must
be determined before a charter
can be issued and the result Of the
examination is another step to-
ward the opening of the new bank.
The Reconstruction Corporation
removed the last major obstacle
yesterday in approving a $685.
900 loan to conservatorS of the
member banks to facilitate the
opening.
Transfer Of Accounts
For the past several weeks Of
ficials of the Hamilton have been
going about the task of determin-
ing the necessary books, records,
stationery, deposit slips and check
books so that nothing in the
equipment line will stand in the
way of the opening.
There remains chiefly the STU
pendous task of transferring the
100000 accounts to the new books,
an undertaking that cannot be
started until the return of the
depositors' proofs of claim to
each of the member banks.

With approximately 5000, or IS
per cent, of the estimated 10000
washington employers possessing
blue eagles today, the fouIS III day
Of the official distribution, WASH
ington civic leaders were laying
plans for the meeting Monday,
when the campaign to bring the
District into the 100 per cent
NRA column will be launched.
Distribution of ire blue eagles,
the symbol of NRA cooperation,
fell off today in comparison with
the first three days, but no alarm
was felt, it being pointed out that
many codes were still in forlna-
tive stages and therefore had not
been signed.
300 More Get EmbIems
At l o'clock it was estimated
that slightly more than 800 per-
sons today had obtained the blue
eagles from the special window
in the Post Office Department
Building. This was the smallest
number for similar period on
any day.
The official tabulation at the
close of business yesterday was
$3.50.
Just who will be named gen.
eral of the washington campaign
has not been definitely deter
mined. However, it was certain
that DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
president of the board of Dis
trict Commissioners, will not be,
although for the past several
days there has been a strong SEN
timent that he was the man for
the job.
Advisory Post Offered.
Today, however, there was a
growing belief that DR.. Reichelder-
fer would be too busy with other
District affairs to give the nec-
essary attention to the cam.
paign and that he could be of ut
most benefit to the drive just in
his official capacity as commits

would be asked to serve on the
