Miss Perkins revealed yesterday that
one of the first things she did with the
plans for the building was to trade with
the architect some of the frills and fur
bellows which delight the heart of archi-
tects. for such things as floors upon
which employees cannot slip and fall

employees, and ceilings that will absorb
sound and not send noise to CRATE

At the same time, Miss Perkins an
nounced that she doesn't particularly
care for the space at present allotted
her for her Office, and probably will
make some changes. She expressed the
opinion that space for the Secretary is
of to one side, and she wants to be
somewhere nearer the hum Of the de-
partment machinery.

tect on gold paint and ornaments for
accident prevention. she said slippery
floors. such as she has found in the
magnificent Commerce Department

BOSSES
CLASH At QUIZ

Conflicting demands of organ
lied labor and employers in min
ing, steel, and iron industries
were made upon the Senate FL
nance Committee today as John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, and
Robert T. Lamont, PRESIDENT of
the American Iron and Steel In
stitute, testified on President
Roosevelt's industrial recovery bill.
Lewis attacked Lamont's efforts
toward amending the labor section
of the measure, which would
guarantee to labor the right to
reorganize and bargain collectively
and the untrammeled privilege to
hold union labor membership
cards.
Lamont, former Secretary Of
Commerce, testified that the iron
and steel industry offers no on-
lection to the bill except to the
provisions ,whicd guarantee to the
workers the right to organize and
affiliate with any labor unit.
He said the institute objected
to any interference with open
shop agreements now existing in
the induSry.

HOWE To DENY
AWARD FAVOR

A statement explaining that
Col. Louis NICK. Howe, presi-
Dental secretary, never gave any
instructions for the purchase of
toilet kits for the civilian conser-
vation corps at an allegedly exces-
sive price will be made late today.
However, it was learned, the re-
ports given the Senate committee
that Colonel Howe had instructed
the purchase to be made from
the Bevier Corporation, of New
York, at a price exceeding the
cost of comparable kits furnished
by the Army, were incorrect and
due to a misunderstanding.
Colonel Howe never gave any in
structions as to the company from
which the articles should be pur-
chased, it was stated. He merely
instructed Robert F'echner, di-
rector of the corps, to use his own
judgment.

Alleged Walker Aide Returns
To New York, Claims That
He Is Broke

NEW YORK. June / GNS).
Broke, prematurely aged, and out

wood, long missing witness in the
Seabury investigation into former
Mayor James j. Walkers regime,
has returned "to face the music"
the New York American said today
in an exclusive, copyrighted story.
100000 Claim
The music" includes a $50, 900
Federal income tax judgment on
an income which Sherwood now
says he never received and a
Supreme Court fine of $4,000 for
failure to obey summons to ap-
pear as a witness at the Seabury
inquiry.
Judge Seabury, informed Of
Sherwood's discovery, declared he
would take steps to have the long
missing witness thrown into Jail
if he returned to New York be-
fore the court fine is paid.
Blanket Denial
Sherwood has returned, the
American said, to make a sweep
ing denial of all the charges
made by witnesses in the Seabury
hearings.
He denied, in the interview
with the American, that he had
ever received, personally, one cent
of the money alleged by the
Seabury investigators to have
been deposited in his accounts
total of nearly $1,000,000, on
which the Federal Government
levied an income tax of approx
mately $4,000.
Gem in the Box
He also denied that Walker
ever had kept any money,
securities, or papers in the safe
deposit box rented jointly in their
names.
The only valuable article the
former mayor ever had in that
deposit box was a piece of
jeWelry which he said a friend
had given him to be sold, Sher-
wood declared.
He admitted freely that he had
disappeared to avoid appearing
as a witness at the Seabury
hearings out of loyalty to the
urbane Jimmie" now honey
incoming in Europe, because Sher-
wood believed the investigation
would pry into Walkers private
affairs, and Jim Walker" he
declared in a voice that trembled
with emotion, ''is the fairest,
squarest man who ever wore
shoe leather"
Living in New Jersey
Sherwood revealed that, except
for the brief time he spent in
Mexico City, where he was mar
ried, he had spent practically all
of the 81 months of his disap-
pearance in the United States,
and that for the past several
months he has been living in
New Jersey.

would move for early action in
the House. The bill without
amendments was reported out
earlier in the week by the Senate
District Committee.
The three amendments were
sponsored by Representative Carl
M. Weideman CD of Michigan,
and were opposed bitterly by a
small group led by Representa-
tive Everett M. Dirkson (RD of
Illinois.
The first amendment specifies
that the Public Utilities Commits

until the present values of the
two companies are ascertained.

Fully 100000 young, unmarried

conference today.
The scheme developed from the
reforestation plan for jobleSS men,
but has no connection with that
experiment. Such occupational
training as dressmaking, embroid.
ering, weaving and other handl-
craft will be taught by unem-
ployed teachers who were as job

portunity presented itself.
Public in Ignorance
Until about a week ago the
public knew little of these 200, 900
women who were tramping the
streets looking for work. Not
much had been said about this
forgotten sisterhood until the
Presidents wife took up the mat
ter and referred suggestions to
Secretary Perkins to offer these
young women camp employment,
Secretary Perkins wants it dis
tinctly understood that these
camps are for young, unmarried
and unemployed women. This
she made plain in answer to
1000 kilograms addressed to her,
protesting that it would be taking
women out Of their homes. Miss
Perkins declared no tome-wreck'
ing will be done, as most OF the
women are at present homeless

Secretary?"
