The Democratic women Of Cuyahoga
County, Ohio, are on the war path,
seeking the scalp of Senator L. j.
Dickinson Of Iowa, Republican.
The trouble all arose because the
Iowa Senator, speaking in the Senate
not long before the last session ad-
journed, ON the subject of Democratic
propaganda, charged that a dozen
prominent women in Cuyanoga
County-which is Cleveland-were en-
gagged in spreading the new deal
propaganda while receiving salaries
presumably fat-from the Federal
Government.
The Senator read to the Senate
what he alleged we're the details Of
this conspiracy to sell the new deal to
the women of the country-including
Cuyahoga County.
II desire" said Dickinson, "to refer
to the question of propaganda. 1
have before me the Democratic Digest,
dated June, 1884, which contains the
following
Reporter plan explains the new
deal-women in every part of the
country study recovery administra-
ton
Pictures on Next Page.
New deal reporters, who have
studied their present government say
that when Republicans and inde-
pendents understand the objectives of
the recovery administration they re-
spond Immediately. They feel that
the country for its own good must
consider issues, not personalities. The
people learn from the reporters about
the new deal-what it is trying to do,
what its activities are, and how the
country needs it
Senator Dickinson turned the page
and found the pictures of a dozen
fine looking women" These he ex-
planned, were the new deal study
group-senior reporters-who have
volunteered their service to act as in
structorS on the Federal emergency
agencies in Cuyahoga County.
Who are these women?" demanded
Senator Dickinson. The first one is
Mrs. Sam FitZsimmons, Federal CO.
ordinator of transportation. l take
it she is drawing Federal salary, and
yet she is advertised as one of the
ladies who want to go out and give
their time and services, when drawing
Federal salary, to spread propaganda
in support Of the new deal. do not
know how much OF her salary she
earns here in her position as Federal
co-ordinator of transportation.
Goes Down the List.
Senator Dickinson with meticulouS
care went down the list of the
women, mentioning each of the new
deal agencies to which she was as
signed, including Judge Lillian West

MONUMENT GROUP
|NDORSES REPAIRS
Improvement Program for
Washington Shaft TO
Start Soon.

Plans of the Federal Government
for improving the condition of the
Washington Monument meet with the
approval OF a special committee,
representative of the organization that
constructed the stately shaft.
This was determined yesterday,
when a special committee of the
Washington National Monument Soci-
ETY., meeting at the Cosmos Club.
adopted a resolution favoring the
governmental program. The gather
ing was held at the invitation Of
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, former
director of the now obsolete Office Of
Public Buildings and Public Parks,
who is chairman of the special COM
mittee named by Justice Willis Van
Devanter of the Supreme Court of the
United States on Washington's birth
day. The justice is first vice president
Of the society.
Cammerer Makes Report.
The special committee heard a dis
cussion by officials of the National
Park Service, which now has juris-
diction over the Washington Monu-
ment Arno B. Cammerer, director of
the National Park Service. presented
a report prepared by John L. Nagle,
engineer of his office, detailing just
what is planned in preventing seepage
within the shaft and in repairing the
lower outer surface. For many years
the weather has caused chips OF stone
to break off, endangering ones nearby.
Serving with Col. Grant on the spe-
cial committee are Frederic A. Delano,
chairman Of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. and George
E. Hamilton, dean of the School OF
Law Of Georgetown University. At
tending the session on behalf Of the
Federal Government, with Mr.. Cam
mercr. were Mr. Nagle and James F.
Gill, assistant director of the National
Park Service. William R. Harr. local
attorney and secretary Of the Wash
ington National Monument Society,
participated in the discussion at the
invitation Of Col. Grant.

merer was recently indorSed by the
Fine Arts Commission, which also
discussed the problem. At yeSter-
days session the condition Of the
Monument was exhaustively discussed.
The Government officials offered their
views and told the special committee
what steps are being taken to remedy
the situation. Col. Grant is thor
oughly familiar with the Washing
ton Monuments status, inasmuch as
he is an engineer and had charge Of
the shaft when he served as director
Of Public Public Buildings and Pub
lie Parks.

istratlon all0cated 100000 for i'm

While there has been some criticism
of the National Park Service for not
pressing forward vigorously with the
work, yesterdays meeting developed
the point that other projects needed
attention that would put more men
to work. The special committee was
informed that the severe Winter made
work on the shaft madvisable.
