MANY DEAD IN
 WAKE OF STORM
(continued from Page 1.)

within week without serious re- suit.
 A 15 inch snowfall, driven by a high wind which Iashed coast line communities and central portions of the state, had been conquered by determined efforts of 20,6OO workmen who kept main highways cleared and prevented serious con sequences because of the already icy conditions of roads, from last weeks blizzard.
 The wind, which piled high drifts along the principal highways, died down early last night, giving blows an opportunity to clear travel lanes. The temperature also was favorable and a predicted freeze up filed to materialize. One of the most serious in- cidents of the storm was the col lapse of the roof of the church of the Nazarene at Danbury. An in ner ceiling prevented destruction o9 the interior of the building, GUS. taining the weight of the fallen roof.
 The weather bureau reported a snowfall of 4S inches this month, the most for February in the his- tory of the bureau.
 Wild ducks in Long Island Sound waters, many of which starved during the severe cold, were lufed to feeding grounds by decoys set out by game wardens.
 Transportation resumed norEla! schedules today.
 l 1N1I Od-fTTDl-CInnP cold weather prevailed throughout most of New England today after | the seeotid severe blizzard in Six days, which caused six deaths and left a new covering of snow rang ling from six inches in Boston to more than 20 inches in Portland. Me.
 Continued clear weather, with slightly warmer temperatures to- morrow, was forecast.
 Three of the storm victims, Harry s. Jordan. 67. of Cape Eliz- abeth, Me-, Jesse Foster, 67, of Marblehead, and Henry J. Brunei le, A, of Bristol, Conn.,, died of heart attacks. Edward Chester, IS, Springfield cityNworker, was struck and Killed by truck. Guerino Pelmacci, 22, railroad worker, was killed by a train at Wakefield. Thomas Stanton, 2S, of Cambridge, Gas Company worker, was killed in a manhole explosion in Belmont.
 Schools were closed in most places, but stores and business houses for the most part opened. Trains were delayed but no trips were cancelled. Shipping was hard hit all along the coast. At Prov Iincetown more than 20 f1shinis craft were caught in an ice jam and were in danger of being sunk or swept out to sea by adverse winds

sons at work throughout the winter on an amazing variety of public, socially desirable jobs, at a cost of 60 to 70 million dollars week.
 Roosevelt aims to end CWA by May, over the protests of tens of thousands of mayors and mer- chants. He is betting that public works, stimulated industry and agriculture can absorb the four million.
 CWA, however, still left 2,5OO, 900 families on relief rolls. Hopkins estimates at least 3,000,000 families must be cared for next winter; that 62 per cent of the federal relief load must be carried by Uncle Sam.
 Civilian conservation camps, em- ploying 100000 men in forests, was a pet Roosevelt project.

Fair Competition Sought

TheN objective, in Roosevelt's words, was "a great cooperative movement throughout all industry to obtain wide re-employment, pay a decent wage for a shorter work week, prevent unfair competition and disastrous overproductiQn," " and "establish purchasing power to start the wheels of industry"
 The codes were to substitute fair Competition for free competition. Submitted by industry, but subject to labor scrutiny before official ap- proval, each must contain maxi mum hour and minimum wage pro visions as well as stipulation that employees might "organize and bar gain collectively through represen- tatives of their own choosing" And codified industries were exempted from antitrust laws.
 It was decided to get as many in- dustries as possible under codes to quickly as possible and correct mis- takes later. The result is that in-

 Two Terms As Mayor
 of Waterbury were outstanding handling of the city's government Coming to office in the early years of 1914 he was known as the war mayor" and gave his time and en- ergy not only to the handling of the city affairs but also to the vast amount of war work of one sort or another that was part of his job for four years. During these years although it may not be generally known, he collected and compiled material enough to make a most interesting volume on Waterbury E rart in the World war: not single incident was overlooked by him in his study of this phase of the his tory of the city.

The price spurt before the July crash was partly due to anticipaS ton of higher costs under MIRA ana anticipation of imitation.
 The A. E. of L. says there were 13,000,000 unemployed last March 4, that nearly 100000 have since been reabsorbed by industry and that 4.e00,O0O jobs have been pro- vided by CWA, PWA, and the CCC.
 The average work week is 1-2 hours shorter and the average hourly wage rate is up 1-2 cents. At the present rate, industrial worker total income shows an in- crease of $3,000,000, 900 a year. :.
 Minimum wages have benefited the lowest wage group. But shorter hours and higher prices have de- creased the purchasing power of the bulk of previously employed wage earnerS.

Reform We'll Launched

Reform has arrived on hun .dred fronts. National planning is in only it's infancy, but begin snings have been made and abuses have been corrected for the good of labor, industry, farmers, bank de- -positors, investors, and many other groups.
 To the wage earner. the common man, Roosevelt has promised "a better, more abundant life." To .business men he has promised "a more permanently safe order of things"
 Insisting on the right of every .man to job at fair earnings. he also aims at a more equitable dis .tribution of income, so that the .hogging of profits will not again ethreaten to destroy our economic system through destruction of pur- chasing power.

Spend on Huge Scale

The $3,3Oo,OOO,oO0 public works program. written into the MIRA, was in itself the largest program of direct government spending in history. It was designed to prime the pump" by putting millions of men to work directly and indi- rectly-and stimulate the sick con- struction and capital goods indus tries.
 Nearly $2,5Oo,0OO,OO was allotted for federal projects, the rest to states. The PWA administrator still has applications for 6400 state projects and would like at least $1,760, 900, 900 for next year though Roosevelt has been talking about $500, 100000.
 PWA and EZRA, the billion- dol lar direct federal relief agency, were Senate progressive measures which Roosevelt integrated into his program. For relief director he chose able, hard-boiled, sympathe- tic Harry Hopkins of New York.

Johnson Does Good Job

Codification was so slow that MIRA was supplemented by FRA last summer, when employers of an estimated 15,00O,O0O persons signed temporary Blue Eagle agree ments with Roosevelt, promising certain minimum wages and maxi mum hours. Despite plenty of chiseling, these agreements still are in effect.
 General Johnson, whether you like him or not, has made an amaz- ingly good stab at the job of or ganizing, coding and supervising 1000 industries with a normal 27,- 000,000 workers - including hun- dreds of thousands of small busi- nesses.
 You can't segregate the effects of NRA on recovery from effects of other policies and factors. You know it has almost eliminated child labor, strengthened unions, allowed trade associations to gov ern prices, eliminated much cut throat competition, and guaranteed maximum hours, minimum wages, freedom to organize for perhaps 20,00O,00O workers and eliminated many bad trade practices. Those are definite NRA achievements.

Work for Labor Peace

NRA codes have fostered some profiteering and monopolistic practices. The tendency of prices to jump ahead of wages is major New Deal problem. Thanks to per- sistent complaints and Senators Nye and Borah, certain corrective measures seem to be in prospect.
 To handle labor disputes-espe- cially on collective bargaining under NRA-Roosevelt created the National Labor Board, with an impartial chairman in Senator Wagner.
 The boards attempt to enforce the law has brought some bitter protests from industries which want to retain their controlled companY unions in preference to

 COrrespondent) WASHINGTON, Feb 27- W The three R's of Roose- velt's first year were:
 Relief.
 Recovery.
 Reform.
 The vast pattern of New Deal effort is integrated around those aims. In each of innumerable new programs you will find one, two or all three objectives.
 Relief has been provided to an undreamed-of degree - to unem- ployed workers, farmers, home owners, sweatshop labor, banks, railroads, and even needy college students.
 Recovery partly has been achieved. though 100000 persons remain unemployed. The depres- sion was checked and industry re- .gards steady improvement as in- .evitable in the next few months.
 Roosevelt, entering his second year in the White House, is betting that the vast outlay of federal funds will give business the re- quired big push.

NAPOLEON, Ind, June 15.-Gladys
Lee Shutter, 20-year-old artist OF
Cleveland. Ohio, who disappeared last
Friday night, returned here early yes
terday and admitted to State police
she had been on a romantic adven-
ture with truck driver.
Artists do crazy things" Miss
Shutter said m explaining her disap-
pearance.
The young woman was en- route to
her grandparents home with her
father, whom she had not seen for
18 years. after attending a motion
picture show in Greensburg, when
their car ran out of gasoline. Gladys
remained in the automobile while her
father went back to Greensburg. On
his return, the girl had disappeared.
She told officers she spent the time
with the driver of a truck she had
stopped but refused to say where
they had been. Police are hunting
. the driver.
II tagged down the truck" she told
State Police Detective Verne Shields,
"and told the driver I had run out
of gas. I asked him to take me into
Napoleon. On the way he said he
was driving cross country and said
I'd like to go along So just went.
Il had a little money and bought
some of my meals and the truck
driver bought me some food"
State police found the truck
driver in Indianapolis. They said
he corroborated the girls story. He
also was released.

For all inventors do not live and
die in garrets, unwept, unhonored, un-
sung and unsupported by their inven-
tions. According to William Claude
Fields, a good many of our modern
inventors don grease paint in long
stretches and make sufficient money
to avoid worry as to whether their in
ventions are marketable or not. And
that, says the comedian, is the only
kind of inventor to be.
Fields himself is an inventor of
no mean ability. He has invented
chairs that fit the form and are more
restful than the current torture hold
which passes for chair in furniture
stores. His prize invention is COM

graph, radio ice-shaver and cocktail
mixer-all the comforts of a home

life of William Claude Fields.

There are other actors-right on his
own lot, too-who. Fields says, have
him beaten a block with their inven-
tions.
Gary Cooper, for instance, is widely
known for his handsome face and
figure, for his sex appeal and, in more
recent years, for his increasingly good
acting. But few people think of Gary
Cooper as the inventor of device for
