Negotiations on $500, ,0O,.

Insistence that the State Depart

that negotiations in Moscow and
Washington for settlement of Russian
debts and claims totaling more than
$500, 900 900 had dragged out for seven
months, was expressed yesterday by
R. Walton Moore, Acting Secretary of
State.
Moore said the United States was

will be renewed this week. He and
Alexander Troyanovsky. Soviet Am
bassador, have agreed that every effort
should be made to reach an agreement,

been made, it is understood the chief
obstacle in the path of a settlement
is an agreement on credits to be ex-
tended to Soviet Russia. and adequate

HARRISBURG, September 5.-Gov.
Pinchot announced today he will not
be an independent candidate for the
United States Senate at the November
election.
II shall not be a candidate at the
coming election" Pinchot said at
press conference.
To inquiries as to whether he will
take an active part in the campaign,
Pinchot replied:
mot another word about politics be-
yond that simple statement"
He made the same reply to q ques-
ton about the possibility Of Mrs.
Pinchot's running as an independent
candidate for Governor.
The statement by the Governor, who
was defeated for the Republican NOM
ination for the Senate at the May
primaries, ended the uncertainty that
has existed as to whether he would
make another effort as an independent
candidate.
United States Senator David A.
Reed won the Republican nomination
for reelection. Joseph F. Guffey is
the Democratic choice.

The good Puritan pastor remains
anonymous under the name of Flu
viataliS PiScator." He was evidently
himself an enthusiastic fisherman end,
to judge from the heat of his remarks,
had been criticized by some of his
more pious parishioners for such a
worldly interest.
Obviously, from the tone OF the
good mans sermon, he had wreStled
long and manfully with his conscience
over the morality of it all, before
finally reaching the liberal conclusion
that God intended fish to be caught
and eaten-otherwise why did he
throw them in mans way-and that
pleasure in itself might not neces-
sarily be evil.
Parable of Loaves
and Fishes Taken for Text.
He chose for his text the parable
of the loaves and the fishes, to prove
the morality of eating fish. and con-
tinued:
This sacred story leads ME to
think:
First. In general the common en-
terprises of life are not inconsistent
with piety to God, but that Infinite
Holiness may be pleased over them.
Second. Fishing is innocent as a
business or diversion.
Some may think it strange that
I give myself the trouble to illustrate
these things, which to them appear

are not of the same cast of consti-
tuition. A proposition which Is easy

Everything calls for labor and labor

He that delighteth to see a brute die
will soon take as great pleasure in

fishing we are so far from delighting
to see a fellow creature die that we
hardly think whether they live. We
have no more murderous thoughts
taking them than in cutting up a
mess of herbage We are taking
something which God, the creator
and proprietor of all, has given us
to use for food as freely as the green

Continuing further his meditations
on the way Of the Lord towards fisher

tinued:
He allows the eating of them.
Therefore catching Of them is no

PRESIDENT SILENT
ON SINCLAIR TALK
Californian Also Keeps Own
counsel-Lauds D. c.
Relief Plan.
EY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September g.
Both President Roosevelt and Up
ton Sinclair, former Socialist. who
recently won the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor Of California, have
been uncommunicative concerning
the two-hour talk they had late yes
terday in the library of the Summer
White House.
Other than to convey the idea that
after his talk he feels that the New
Deal and his own E. P. I. c. plan
are consistent, and to praise the Pres
ident, Sinclair would reveal nothing
about their conversation when he
talked with newspaper men later. He
conveyed the impression that if there
was to be anything for publication
President Roosevelt would say it to-
day.
But President Roosevelt was not
so inclined when he received the
newspaper corps in his study this
morning. In reply to questions about
the conference, he simply laughed
and changed the subject. However,
there was nothing in his expression
to convey the impression that he was
not pleased.
President Talks to La Guardia.
During the forenoon the President
conferred with Fiorello H. La Guardia,
mayor Of New York, who had motored
from New York for his opportunity
to discuss city financial and relief
problems.
Mr.. Roosevelt then talked with
Cn ~
cago and later, Frank p. Walsh,
chairman of the New York State
Power Authority. 1t is understood
that the chief matter Of discussion
between the President and Mr.. Walsh
was the proposed st. Lawrence water
way and power project.
In talking to newspaper men here
yesterday, Sinclair singled out what
the Federal Government is doing in
the District of Columbia in the mat
ter of furnishing subsistence work for
the unemployed as evidence that the
Roosevelt administration is abreast
with Sinclair's E. P. I. c. plan.
This was brought out when Sinclair
was asked II he considered his E. P.
I. c. plan part Of the Roosevelt New
Deal, or ahead OF 1t.
Praises Washington Project.
"It was ahead a year ago." he
quickly answered, "at which time my
plan was merely a projection of the
New Deal along natural lines. To-
day, however, the New Deal has
caught up with it."
To clarity this statement further,
Sinclair stated that the District of
Columbia furnishes an example of
Federal subsistence work comparable
with his plan. He added, in this con-
nection, that in Washington 10000
unemployed persons are being assigned
to subsistence tasks, either raising food
or working in idle factories, manu-
featuring goods for their own use, and
has been set up whereby the output of
their collective labor Is distributed
among them.
To explain further his claim that
there is nothing inconsistent between
his plan and that of the Roosevelt
administration, Sinclair said: The
Federal Government is also making
mattresses in Ohio, canning food in
California and manufacturing stock
ings in Massachusetts, all with unem-
ployed labor, and distributing The
goods among the unemployed and
others in need.
This" he continued, "is the
fundamental principle of the E. P.
1. c. plan which we propose to in
augurate in California"
Evening star., 1934-09-05

These directories list only the i'm
portant jobs down to chief clerks,
division chiefs, lawyers and experts,
but they show roughly that the New
Deal has kept on more than half of
the old Government employees of that
class. Out of 927 listed in the New
Deal directory, 522 were also listed
in the last Hoover directory.
New Jobs on List.
An exact comparison is impossible.
There have been a few further
changes since May. The economy re-
organization consolidated some bu-
reaus. Also, the new list contains
about so new jobs which did not
exist before.
But the general conclusion is IN
disputable that the New Dealers have
conflscated fewer than half of the
key positions for themselves and re-
tanned an unusually large number of
career men in the Government serv-
ice, especially in the Agriculture and
State Departments.
When you get doiDn to individual
departments you also find that euen
Postmaster General Farley, the
patronage master, has retained
about one-thrd OF the old hands
(ot this class in his Post Office
Department. About 80 of his 90
Post Office names are old. And

tho old employees out of fue listed.

FULTON, ILL.,, September 5.-Rage
over an old unpaid farm debt, police
said today, sent Fred Blink, As, on a
shotgun rampage that brought death
to five persons.
After Staying the five, including his
debtor, John Hamilton, Blink "shot it
out" with Officer Frank Kustes when
the latter cornered him yesterday
afternoon.
Before his capture Blink was
wounded and turned his automatic
shotgun on himself, inf1icting addi-
tional wounds. Doctors said he would
recover.
The victims of the blasts from the
enraged mans weapon, in addition to
Hamilton, were Harry MIME of Belvi-
dere, ILL.,, a railroad watchman: Mrs.
Jennie Walter of Sterling, Ill, house
keeper for Hamilton; Web Collier, 10,
of Sterling, and Mrs. Irene Corrick of
Des MoineS, Iowa.
Mrs. Walter, Mrs Corrick, MIME and
Collier were the first to die. They
were shot down when they attempted
to flee from the Hamilton farm house
near here.
From the farm, which Blink and
Hamilton had operated on a share
basis, the slayer went to point near
the home of John Pack, a friend, and
shot Hamilton, at the same time seri-
ously wounding Joseph Collier, q
brother of one of the dead
Officer KuSteS had been in Clinton,
Iowa, across the Mississippi River, and
was returning to the Illinois side when
he heard shots and found BlinE stand
ing beside his truck on a highway,
his smoking shotgun in his hands. The
officer wounded Blink twice before
the slayer attempted to take his own
life.
Blink's wife told police that when
her husband left home yesterday noon
he said he was going to do some
thing" about the money she said
Hamilton owed Blink.
