DOCTORS WILL AID
HUNT FOR SLAYER
Asked to Report Any Medi-
cal Attention After Kill
ing of Six.
BY the Associated Press.

Oy lI4e hSSOCidttu HTeSS.
BREMERTON, Wash, April s.
Physicians of Western Washington
were called upon today to aid in the
search for the slayer of four men and
two women at a Bremerton house
party late last week.
Assistance was sought from. medical
Offices when Luke S. May, Seattle
criminologist, deduced that one of the
killers was seriously wounded in the
terrific fight the victims put up as
they were beaten, slashed and shot to
death
On broken bits of bottles strewn
around the house. May found blood
stains, hair and bits of clothing from
some one other than any of the six
victims. The killer probably needed
and found medical attention, May
said.
On this theory Sheriff D. L. Blank
enship asked physicians OF cities
nearby to report their attendance on
any persons with unexplained wounds.
The Seattle underworld was investi-
gated on reports that Fred Balloon. a
bartender and one of the victims, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Fielder, at whose
home the tragedy occurred last
Thursday night. had alterations
with some one while negotiating for
buying an interest in a Seattle beer
parlor.
This possible motive of revenge still
was overshadowed by the theory that
the murders were committed by rob-
bers. Two diamond rings belonging
to Mrs Fielder were missing
May described the crime as the
work of a "fend,' probably a large
man Of great strength.

economic planning suggests G Gov
eminent ownership Of many industries.
and CD q Government agency with
power to fix production, prices. credit
and wages, so as to coordinate private
economic activity in the public in
terest. Under such planning the Gov
eminent would operate through q
series of voluntary boards or syndi-
Gates at the head OF each industrial,
commercial and agricultural group.
These proposals seek to exercise
leveling effect upon incomes and to
stabilize economic affairs. at the same
time allowing scope for private initia-
tive within the various groups.
The third group of proposals sug-
gests economic planning by allowing
all the business within an industry
to plan, cooperate and combine, with
a governmental agency serving in an
advisory capacity and sometimes ros-
sessing veto power. This type of plan
ming does not touch the central prob
lem Of subordinating the profit motive
to social welfare It is likely to result
in an increasing concentration of
power WlCIlll q pTIVdte INDUSTRY, WHICH
will make genuine economic planning
and social control even more neces-
sary than it Is today.
THE experiments commenced in
1888 in the United States are worth
while beginnings. They are not eco
nomic planning. but they afford new
opportunities for working out plans.
THE need for planning lies In the
inability of q laissez faire system to
cope with the problems Of modern In
dustrialism. The technical difficulties
Of planning can be removed. The
chief handicap to overcome is our al
legiance to ideals that belong to an
earlier Industrial setting. In place of
adhering to blind traditionalism we
should develop an OPEN minded expert
mental attitude toward social and
economic institutions and problems.

THOUSAND persons

"\WCNP1 IHOUSAND persons
from Washington and many
States saw the amaryllis show
i at the Department Of Agricul-
ture greenhouses, which closed
last night.
1t brought to attention more no
t!ceably than ever the necessity of the
Department Of Agriculture having a
proper place for its Fall and Spring
flower shows
There is no doubt in the minds of
all persons connected with the
amaryllis show that the place for ex-
hibiting flowers is in the new green
houses in the Botanic Gardens.
Knowles RyerSon. chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Plant Industry in the De-
partment Of Agriculture; T. Y. Nor
rison, head of the Division of Plant
Exploration and Introduction, and J.
W. Byrnes. In charge of the Depart
ment of Agriculture greenhouses. all
went on record decrying the lack of
space in their present quarters.
Ryerson said: The greenhouses we
have here at the Department are not
for exhibition. They are essentially
for growing and testing. whereas the
new greenhouses in the Botanic Gar
dens would be splendid for show pur-
poses. The public could see the
flowers better and enjoy the spectacle
without being cramped as they are
at present"
Morrison expressed himself vigor-
ously on the qualifications of the
Botanic Gardens recently completed
greenhouses = as An exhibition place.
He said that, while they were unsuited
for growing plants on account of hav-
ing only top ventilation, they we're
excellent for showing and would
fill definite public need.
Byrnes who is in charge of the
greenhouses belonging to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and who super
intends their bi-annual exhibitions,
longs for better place for his flowers.
He said that in eight days 20. 900 peo-
pie had come to see the multi-colored
star lilies. What We need is an
exhibition house" he stated as he
piloted the last visitors through the
narrow paths Of the greenhouses.
The amaryllis show closed last
night. Today the women of the Ma
tl0nal Plant. Fruit and Flower Guild
came to collect flowers for distribution
in the hospitals. The big red and
yellow and striped lilies were cut off
near the roots and laid in boxes. Now
the bulbs will be kept for testing and
replanting for next years show.
So many people motored from
States all over the Eastern seaboard
to see this exhibition that a special
parking place was made on Thirteenth
street. within the grounds of the de-
partment. to take care of the cars.
Delegations from 40 garden clubs.
eight associations of growers came
and flower enthusiasts from Virginia,
Maryland. West Virginia. Delaware.
Pennsylvania. New jersey. and New
York journeyed to Washington to see
what is considered one Of the most
unusual floral exhibitions ever held.

What's What
BehindNews
In Capital
Democrats Grum Bile
About Mugwumps
in Brain Trust.
BY PAUL MALLON.

n n R. ROOSEVELT'S Democratic
M Congressman are doing lot
VI of cloak room growing these
1 L days about the mugwumps.
That is the new name they
have for the brain trusters. the An
thony Advocates and all the social
minded advisers surrounding the
White House.
1t sounds bad. but all it means
is one pho belongs to political
party and reserves the right TO
independent action"
That description fits the advisers
better than anything they have been
called previously. and they have been
called a lot. However, 1t is an old
political word and has accumulated
some sinister implications. such as a
hint of radicalism, in its long career.
The Democratic Congressmen-par-
ticularly a number of Southerners-
offer the word in its most obnoxious
sense.
New Situation Arises.
More than anything else. it shows
the inner situation which has arisen
between Congress and the White
House.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-04-03

In other. smaller things there has
been a similar undercurrent OF feel
ing. It seemed to be present In a
much mildcr way in the general de-
mand for revision of the original stock
market bill.
1t also is likely explanation of
why some Democrats were so eager
to sponsor an investigation Of the
brain trust on the slightest excuse.
Silver Inquiry Next.
The next thing on which an in
vestigation is likely to break out in
a serious way is silver.
Silverites are making the most Of
the undercurrent and are passing the
word around that Mr.. Roosevelt is
being badly advised on that subject.
Blame is being placed on Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau and Profs.
Warren and Rogers.
1t is rather thin propaganda,
but it is making headDdy in the
Senate. There ,UiH be no surprise
il the Senate takes the meaning
less Dies bill and tacks the i'm
portant Wheeler naturalization
scheme on it as an amendment.
That would not mean much more
than another affront. MIR. Roose-
welt would veto the plan even If the
House approved. and it could not pass
over a veto.
Maneuver-Not Revolt.
When you boil all this sentiment
down. you will see it does not exactly
constitute congressional revolt
against the administration. 1t has
the elements Of political maneuver,
rather than a rebellion.
The Democratic Congressman do
not want to revolt against Mr.. Roose-
welt. He still is too popular for that.
No attacks are being made on him.
and most of the attacks on his ad-
visers are indirect
The movement has two purposes in
one:
To make political hay for the COM
ing elections out of such things as
veterans, pay cuts and silver, and
To blame it on the mugwumps.

HITS AIRNIAIL BILL.
Robin Terms Measure "Vindictive,
Says Evidence Was Ignored.

Characterizing the pending Nc
Kellar-B Black airmail bill as "vindic-
tive" and punitive" Richard w.
mental & Western Air, one of the
companies which lost its airmail con-
tract in February, today called upon
the Government for immediate return
of the mail to private carriers and
for prompt hearing of officials Who
have been charged with collision.
The new airmail bill, Robbins said
in statement made public here,
disregards the evidence of Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh, Col Eddie Rickenbacker
and other experts and clearly indi-
Gates by the revengeful spirit in which
it is drawn that these sponsors will
go to any length to complete the
wrecking of an industry which they
have so we'll started on it's way to
complete disintegration and collapse"
Redraft More Vindictive.
Declaring that not since the days
of the Civil War has the Nation seen
such a display of partisan envy and
Jealousy on the part of those in
power" Robbins said; The sponsors
of this latest bill are either woefully
ignorant of the most elementary
principles of justice and rights guar
anteed our citizens as expressed in
the Constitution of the United States,
or else are determined to ignore the
Constitution completely in their
efforts to throw smoke screen over
the airmail cancellation bungle. In
stead of rewriting their proposed
legislation to meet the severe criti-
cisms of every witness other than
Government officials, this redraft is
even more vindictive and punitive
than the original measure"
Robbins denied there was any guilt
on the part of any operator present at
the so-called "spoils conference" in
the office of Postmaster General
Walter F. Brown in May, 1890, on the
basis of which the contracts were
Cancelled.
Cites Conference in 1888.
Gas recently as August, 1888 repre-
sentatives of the airmail carriers were
summoned to Washington by Assistant
Postmaster General Howes and met
with him and other Post Office
officials of the present administration
to discuss certain plans of the present
administration with reference to the
airmail service Can any better
method be found for the Post Office
Department to advise the airmail car
riers as to policy and plans than by
conference with the principal officials
of the airlines affected? Is it a crime
to confer with a cabinet officer by
his invitation?"
Exclusion of airmail officials from
future airmail bidding, Robbins said.
can be regarded in no other light
than as punishment without trial"
These officials should be given full
hearing before a disinterested tribur al,
he said, and If the decision is in favor
of the contractors. the annulment
order of February 9 should be re-
scinded.

The Congressman say they have
been getting lot of mail from home
during the last few weeks which has
changed their minds about many
things.
This mail has been continuously
laudatory of the President. but in
creasingly critical of his advisers.
1t unquestionably has encouraged
Congress recently to resist some of
the tendencies Of the new deal. At
least. it is the excuse Congressman
offer privately for the sharp overthrow
OF the President on his veto Of the
veterans and pay-cut reservations.

fluence than anything said openly in
the debate.
Affront to Tugwell.
The same feeling was noticeable in
Senate action on the Bankhead cot
ton-control bill What the Senate did
to that bill was thinly concealed
affront to the Wallace Tugwell group
sponsoring the measure. As passed,
it would not control anything, except
Wallace and Tugwer.
An amendment iDas inserted er-
empting the first sir bales for every
farmer. There are, roughly, about
ti1o million cotton farmers. The
exemption, therefore, could theo-
rettcally apply to tpefUe million
bales. Only thirteen million bales
uere produced last year.
In practice. the exemptions would
be much less because the bigger farm
ers produce the most cotton. but the
example is striking proof of what the
Senators thought about the A. A. A.
The A. A A. boys will have con-
siderable difficulty getting the bill
back in workable shape.
