Police Record
Costs Beer
License

The first drastic move to en-
force local beer regulations was
made by the District Commission,
ers today when they revoked the
temporary permit of Meyer D..
Rosenbloth, 200 block Pennsyl-
vania Ave. s. E.
The revocation was ordered
after Vernon E. West, chairman
of the Beverage Permit Board,
told the Commissioners that Ros-
enbloth had made a false state
ment in applying for a permit.
West said the merchant declared
he had never been convicted of
crime.
The beer board chairman intro
duced a police record showing
that Rosenbloth had been arrested
some 10 times on such charges as
selling firearms to a minor, vio-
lation of the pharmacy laws. vio-
lation of the drug act, assault,
sale and possession of whiSkey,
receiving stolen property and sell
ing firearms without permit.
The record shows convictions
in several Of the cases.

PERKINS LABOR
VIEW Barred

Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins, in an explanation of her
proposed revision Of the Black
6-hour day, 30-hour week bill to-
day emphatically denied that she
seeks to become a "Czarina" Of
industry.
Instead, she insisted, the sug-
gested changes in the bill which
she submitted to the House Labor
Committee, take from her wide
power to exempt industries which
the Senate voted her.
She said after it appears the
bill might become law she "recog-
nized the improperly of giving
any one public official the right
to grant wholesale exemptions
from a mandatory law without
limitation and without provisions
for publicity"
Explaining her proposals for a
limitation of production and a
minimum wage, she insisted that
many employers have demanded
these provisions as a protection
against unscrupulous wage cut
ters.
The changes proposed by her
permit the Secretary Of Labor to
limit hours of labor of a plant
when excessively long periods of
operation are causing hardship
and over production.

SILVER RETURN
FORECAST
MRS. ROOSEVELT

The proposal of the Administra-
ton to permit payment of for
eign debts in silver up to $780,
100000 was characterized today
by Speaker Rainey as the begin
ming of the establishment Of the
proposed 16 to l ratio between
gold and silver.
Differing with Representative
Byrns of Tennessee, Democratic
leader, Rainey said that there
would be additional legislation
for reconciliation of silver.
Byrns expressed belief that the
silver advocates would be content
to await the outcome of the ex-
perimental proposal of taking sill
yer for foreign debts. Rainey
said:
81 think there will be addi-
tiOnal silver legislation. 1 be-
lieve that it will be so popular
that there will be a demand for
restoration of the ancient ratio
of 16 to 1. That won't come
right away. but I think it is
inevitable"

RETIREMENT
FACES 1900
IN CAPITAL
Proposed Cut Will Force Many
High SaIaried Workers of
U. S. to Leave Posts

Compulsory retirement after
80 years of Federal service,
provided in Budget Bureau
recommendations, will affect
21,937 Federal employees, of
which perhaps 1000 are in
Washington.
The exact number located here
has not been computed, but it is
considerably higher proportion
ately than in the field, for Fed
eral employees make their work a
career here more than elsewhere.
Percentages High
The average eligible to retire
ment as a result of 80 years serv-
ice, in the Federal departments,
is estimated at 5 per cent, but
this is considerably exceeded in
the older bureaus, which prob
ably average about Z per cent.
On d 5 per cent basis. there
would be fully $3.50 In washing
ton to go on the retired list. Al
lowing for excess percentages in
the older establishments, this
figure might be raised to nearly
1000.
The drastic cut in appropria-
tions. which would have necessi-
tated the discharge of large num-
bers of Federal employees here,
would not have affected the 30
year employees, for the most part,
since they would have had 81
points or more added credits on
their efficiency ratings for their
length of service.
Many High Salaried>
An indication of the effect of
this condition appears in the es-
innate, made in one Federal unit,
that the retirement of 43 persons,
receiving relatively high salaries,
would save the jobs of 10 younger
employees.
Moreover, since the, 30-year en-
ployes are for the most part in
the higher salary grades, many of
them will be retired at annuities
of $1,000 a year.
Retirements will not solve the
problem, however. for further dis
misals will be necessary in prac-
tically every Federal, office, and
naturally more dismissals will be
necessary in the newer units
where there are few employees OF
3O-year status.

BILL WINS FAVORABLE REPORT
Rail Stocks,
u. s. Bonds
Climb

NEW Y OR K April q
(IN.S.).-A boom in railroad
stocks and bonds, with a sharp
rally in the depressed Govern
ment and other high grade
bonds, today marked the third
day of the stock markets in
flation rise.
The dollar showed a stronger
tone. Though weakening further
against sterling, which spurted 7
'cents to $3.9012; the franc, and
the guilder, it rallied against
other currencies.
Huge buying orders again
marked the opening and these
were concentrated in the rails. N.
Y. Central was the feature with
an overnight jump Of 4 points to
25 on $4,000 shares. Other blocks
ran to $4,000 in Pennsylvania. The
high-speed ticker was swamped
again and quickly fell 8 minutes
behind.
SteeIS Decline
Commodities continued strong,
but here the buying fervor seemed
to have temporarily spent itself
and the fluctuations were rela-
lively small compared with the
wild rise of the last two days.
Stocks which had set the pace
for the uprush in the last two
days, such as the steels, utilities,
and mining shares, met further
heavy profit-taking and were down
from / to 3 points.
Oil stocks continued to meet
persistent buying. Gains ran to
more than 81 a share, with Stand
ard Oil of California setting the
pace. s.
Spectacular gains were the rule
in railroad bonds. Erie issues
jumped S points or $50 per $1,000
bond, while big gains were scat
tered throughout the list. Gov
ernment issues recovered about a
point or $40 per $1,000 bond in
short order following the Admin
istration's plans to support the
Government bond list through re-
sumption of open market pur-
chases by the Reserve System.
Trading Slackens
Trading was still at a furious
pace but far slower than yesteI-
day. Turnover was 1,150,OO0
shares for the first half hour
against 1,75O,00O shares in the
same period yesterday.
The rails set their peak prices
around the opening after which
they also gave way to the urge
to take profits. Some carrier
shares, particularly New York
Central. Atchison, and Union Pa
cific, opened an half hour and
more late.

Pressure on Dollar
Seen as Abatinq

NEW YORK, April 81 G.N.SO.
The pressure against the dollar
showed signs Of abating today as
foreign spectators covered their
short positions and large foreign
firms bought dollars to settle com.
mitments in this country
A good deal of the covering un-
doubtedly was induced by the
coming conferences between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Premier Mac.
Donald.
The brunt of the reaction was
borne by the German marks.

25.19 cents. Swiss francs we're
sold freely. falling to 21.48 cents,
off IL points; lire dropped 4
points to 5.68 cents, and the
Scandinavian exchanges dropped
from so to SIS points each.
Sterling. however, continued to
rise, touching $3.9012 at the open
ing today, an overnight gain Of
7la cents. Francs gained 7 points
at 4.38, belgas 10 at 1880, and
guilders 60 points at 44.60.

U. S. Dollar Trading
Jumpy on London 'Change

LONDON, April 81 GN.SJ.
The American dollar opened at
1885 to the pound sterling on
the London Exchange today. The
pound later rose to $3.9012.
Excitement continued in the
stock markets and the foreign
exchange section, where the
American dollar was extremely
erratic, being quoted between
$3.87 and $500 at II a. m.
Stocks developed an unsettled
tone as trading progressed. In
ternational issues. kaffirs, British
funds, oils and German bonds
slipped back below their opening
prices.
Gold was quoted at 119 shill-
ings one penny an ounce, o de.

105 ON MACON
TEST FLIGHT

ZEPPELIN DOCK. KRON,
Ohio, April 81 Q.N.SD.-Less
than three weeks after it's sister
ship, the Akron. crashed into the
turbulent Atlantic, the Navy dirig-
ible U S. S. Macon took off from
Akron Airport at 6 a. m. today
on its initial test flight.
Exactly at sunrise the worlds
largest airship cast off it's moor
ings and made a perfect take-off
with Comdr. Alger H. Dresel, of
New York city, at the controls.
One hundred and five men were
aboard.
A strong wind was blowing from
the East. AS soon as the great
airShip had been towed out 1900
feet north Of the north dock door
by its 115-ton portable mooring
mast, the ground crew of 258 men
swung the tail westward to put
the great dirigible in line with
the prevailing wind.
Rear Admiral George c. Day
and the naval board of inspec-
ton and survey boarded the craft
as four of the eight powerful May.
bach motors started warming up.
Dresel sent the Macon up 1900
feet and nosed her into the east
wind. BY now the Wind had
switched to the northeast and
the Macon drifted off over the
airport to the southeast.
Shortly before the. Macon
weighed off, Commander Dresel
told the International News
Service correspondent he expected
to remain aloft approximately IL
hours.

Secretary Of the Treasury
Woodin thus optimistically in

mittee.
The Administration, Woodin in

Profiteering Doomed
The power to control initiation,
he pointed out, is tightly vested

The President was said to op-
pose a sky-rocketing of prices or
any profiteering in food values.
Report Asks Passage
After hearing Woodin, the
committee voted favorably to re-
port the bill for passage.
The committee reported the
bill as an amendment to the

that it be acted on as separate
measure.
On motion OF Senator Walcott

urging the Senate to take this
course was adopted.
Before approving the bill, the

Commenting on the provisions
of the farm relief bill now before

said that he would not oppose the
legislation, despite the fact that
the B. F.. Goodrich Company is
one of the country's largest con-
sumers of cotton, using it in tires,
betting, hose and scores of other
products.
