The Human Side of the News
Bigger and Bolder Heavyweight Larcenies
Bu EdlUtn C.. Hill
Bu EdWin C.. Hill

Burglars in Brooklyn walk
away with 400-pound safe.
Thieves in the West make
away with a freight car full
of silk. Still another instance
of heavyweight larceny which
pops to mind is the stealthy
removal, in the dead of night,
of a marble monument from
a graveyard, total weight more
than a ton.
On a bright sunny morning,
the manager of a Long Island
(New York; golf club began
his round of inspection. He
whistled as he walked over the
velvety fairway. Then the sun
seemed to stop shining, at least
for the manager. His fifth
green, his favorite. was gone.
Two detectives, after four days
of work, found the lost green.
It was found neatly stacked in
q cemetery, miles from the golf
course. The thrifty keeper had
purchased the truckloads from
some young man, he said. And
that was that.
Ice and Oil
Last winter some unusual
Jobs were pulled off. A guam
tity of ice was stolen from
city reservoir in New York
State. The ice was expedi-
tiously harvested and removed
"a cool job, if there ever was
one. And who could hope to
identify ice as his own prop
erty? Following close on this
theft, Boston thieves lifted
half a million razor blades from
q garage, where they were
stored awaiting shipment.
A million barrels Of crude oil
is another item on this list of
bigger and bolder robberies. Not
long ago, Texas rangers placed
a dozen men under arrest in the
East Texas oil fields on a charge
of tapping pipe lines from five
wells and stealing that amount
of crude oil. Two million wasps
formed the strange loot of
thieves in another large scale
robbery in California. The in.
sects, known as gall waspS, were
stolen from the fig ranch of DR..
H. c. Moore, near Merced. These
insects, which produce balls on
the leaves of oak trees, are bred
in large numbers for use in the
fig orchards where, in laying
their eggs, they fertilize the
blossoms by carrying pollen
from flower to flower.

difficult to outrival the live

DOCTORS FIGHT
SPECIALIZATION

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 13
G.N.SO.-A firm stand against
socialization of medicine was
taken by the American Medical
Association here today.
Voting overwhelmingly to op-
pose any attempt of State govern
mentS to interfere with the tradi.
tional relationship between doctor
and patient, the association pro-
mulgated a 10-point declaration
of policy whcih reflected an
alarm that socialization seemed
imminent.
Asserting that "the present
standard of medical practice in
the United States is superior to
that afforded people generally in
any other country in the world" +"
the declaration stated that "all
features of medical service should
remain under control of the med
ical profession, as no other body
is educationally equipped to exer-
else such control"
AS it's first move to combat the
trend toward socialization, the
association voted to rebuke the
American College of Surgeons, a
subsidiary organization, for its
approval several days ago in Chi
cago of State health insurance
plan.

Man 4 Months
Dead Still On
Relief Rolls
NEWTON D. BAKER

Here is a real shocking story.
The first shock was suffered
by q colored man. The second
by Robert O'Neal, of the Dis
trict Emergency Relief organiza-
ton.
The colored man had been
carried on the local relief rolls
for several months. Work cards
were mailed to him to report
for a job on the EVA projects,
but he never appeared.
Today Mr.. O'Neal went to the
mans home to find why he had
not appeared, and to tell him to
report on a new job. And i'm
agine his shock when a colored
woman who answered the door
said:
"Why, he can't take no job"
Mr.. O'Neal asked why, and
the answer was:
"Why, he was eIectrOcuted
down in Georgia four months
ago."

day of "the Archbishop murder

Joseph E. Sheridan, counsel for

State charges stabbed Archbishop
Leon Tourian to death on Christ

He said:

BANK AID WAITS
On SIGNATURE

Only the signature of President
Roosevelt was necessary today to
place on the statute books the
deposit insurance bill, carrying the
Steagall bank depositors' relief
amendment.
The measure was sent to the
White House after the Senate
yesterday put the final o. K. on
the conference report on the bill,
concluding a long fight for bank
depositors relief which was initi-
ated early in the present session
Of Congress by Representative
Clarence Mcleod (RO of Michi'
gan.
The final outcome does not pro-
vide the relief that the Michigan
Representative sought, but it
marks a great victory for him
and his followers, especially when
it is recalled that when the cam
paign was born it was scowled
upon by the Administration.
Under the Steagan provision
of the bill. as it awaits the pen
of the President today, the RFC
is authorized to make loans to
the receivers of, or purchase the
assets of closed banks throughout
the country. valuing the assets
on a basis "in anticipation of an
orderly liquidation over a period
Of years"
Representative Mcleod, whose
objective was to obtain legislation
to provide for a 100 per cent pay
off to depoSitors in closed banks,
today was gratified at the victory,
despite the fact that what is to
become statute is not all that he
had hoped for.
It is virtually conceded that
the President will sign the
measure.

WAR SUPPLIES
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
An extensive program for con-
servation and development of
products used in munitions manu-
facture will be presented to the
next session of Congress.
War Department officials and
members of the House Military
Affairs Committee have been in
vestigating the sources of supply
for munitions available in the
United States, preparatory to sub.
mitting the program to the House
and Senate.
Available information disclosed
that this country would be at a
serious disadvantage in time OF
war because of depleted supplies
of manganese, tin, nickel, rubber,
tungsten, brass, and other prod
ucts essential in manufacturing
war materials. A shortage of
drugs necessary for medicinal pur-
poses also was reported.
Conservation of tin probably
will be voted by the House this
week, according to Representative
Faddis CD of Pennsylvania. The
House recently passed a resolution
authorizing a survey of the ma
tion's tin resources.
Since many products. such as
rubber, are not produced in the
United States, funds are to be set
aside for experiments to further
the development of new sources Of
supply.
One of the principal reasons for
Germany's defeat in the World
War was a shortage of these ma
terials, Representative Faddis said
today.

LEADERS DRAFT
PROGRAM FOR
NEXT CONGRESS
Brief but Active Session Is
Goal; Compromise
Due on Bonus.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-k short
but active session of congress was
the goal Of legislative leaders to-
day as they prepared for series Of
conferences aimed at determining a
definite New Deal program for next
year.
The impending weekend confer
ences at Warm Springs on the trou-
blesome relief question were ex-
pecteo to go a long way toward
shaping one of the most important
OF the administrations policies.
In the wake of recent develop
ments it became apparent that the
Roosevelt administration already
has decided fairly definitely on three
outstanding issues Of controversial
nature.
Bonus Compromise Likely
It appeared likely that there
would be compromise on the
bonus question, with the admins
tration willing TO advance the cash
bonus payments to veterans in ac-
tual distress.
1t seemed clear also that the adj
ministration was anxious to escape
widespread increase in taxation, with
a business upturn being counted
upon to furnish increased federal
revenues.
The opinion Of Senator Pat Har-
rison dem, MiSs), chairman of the
powerful senate finance committee.
that liquor tariffs should be re-
duced is expected to be translated
into legislation.
mis- gradual shaping of the adj
ministration program leaves relief
and social insurance problems as
outstanding among the issues to be
faced.
Important Farley Held
There no doubt will be a great
deal of excitement on the bonus
and other matters, but the Demo-
cratic party Is committed to pledges
on relief and social security, with
no definite agreement yet among
New Deal leaders as to how the
problems should be solved.
The Warm Springs conferences
with the President this weekend
will be attended by Harold Ickes,
secretary Of interior; Henry Nor
genthan, secretary Of treasury; Har-
ry Hopkins. relief administrator, and
Rexford G. Tugwell, undersecretary
of agriculture.
1t is the Presidents hope, accord
ing to authoritative word here, that
these conferences will be able to fix
a definite estimate for relief and
public works after the new year.
