Price Terms Roosevelt Address
COnciliatory To Capital, Labor
Various Issues Referred
To In Talk Outlining
Future Activities Dur

By BYRON PRICE

eSnieR Of Bureau. The Associated
Press. Washingtonl
Business may have failed to
get all il asked for in President
Roosevelt's latest address to the
nation, but il did get far more
than some of its leaders expected.
IL received, it is true, no
answer to its often-repeated ques-
tion about the budget and che
currency, and no complete bill
Of particulars about the future of
NRA, or relief.
But underneath the public ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction there
was apparent a certain feeling of
gratitude that the President had
gone as far toward reinsurance as
he did. and had left unsaid some
of the things of a contrary charac-
ter which hasty temper might
have written into his speech.
Pictured As Radical
The truth is that in certain
business circles Dir. Roosevelt was
being accused of the most extreme
radiealism.
He was being pictured in wills
pered consultations as wholly out
of sympathy with organized indus
try, bent on destroying the "pro-
fit system" verging directly to-
ward a naturalization of property
closely resembling socialism.
Various recent events were
cited to prove that thesis: his
speech at Green Bay, the reception
he accorded Upton Sinclair, the
resignation of Lewis Douglas as
budget director. the delay in lift
ing NRA's regulatory powers over
business.
There were those who spec
ulated whether he was not now
ready. in the presence of con-
tinuing evidence of his hold upon
the people, to take the decisive
plunge, openly defy the industrial
groups, and roundly denounce "big
business" as a public enemy.
Pledge OF Good Faith
Instead of the unmeasured re-
Duke which might coneeivably
have been inspired by the cues
tionnaire of the Chamber of COM
merce OF the United States, for
instance. the business world heard
q pledge of the governments good
faith in an effort to help business,
not destroy it.
Besides mentioning the magic
word profits, "a thing the
Presidents right-wing advisers
have been trying for some time to
get him to do unequivocably-he
limited at NRA relaxations and
proposed capital-labor truce
which easily might have a very
wide significance.
Certainly the administration has
been accused often enough of
having gone over to the labor
unions. In the very logic Of the
present situation. unionism finds
the strike its most potent weapon
for expansion. The recent textile
strike. among others, undoubtedly
had behind it a purpose to build
up the textile union, and increase
its prestige.
Important Matters
When Mr.. Roosevelt asks or
ganized labor to relinquish this
weapon, just at this critical period
of the development of the new
planned economy, he is asking
something rather important.
For all of these reasons-both
because of what the President did
say to comfort the right wing and
what he refrained from saying to
comfort the left wing-his address
was rated as eoneiliatory within
some of the highest circles of or
gained industry.

THREATS FAIL
ONBANKA|D
FRIENDS
All Signers Of Petition Stand
Fast, Despite Efforts
of House Leaders
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Fearful that sponsors of the
Mcleod bank payoff bill will be
able to complete the Weideman
petition and force a vote on bank
relief June II, Administration
leaders have launched an extensive
under-cover campaign to kill the
petition.
Quietly and taking every pre-
caution not to attract undue pub
licity, certain members have cir
culated among Democrats who
have already signed the petition
and "laid down the law in an
effort to persuade them to with
draw their names.
Every Man Stands Pat
So far, despite heavy pressure
on many of the signers, not one
of the 139 signers has repudiated
his promise to the bank relief
bloc. There are still needed only
six signatures to complete the pc
tition.
Describing how two Admins
tration "Spokesmen" came to his
office in succession and tried to
force him into line, one member
said:
"YOu would be surprised to
know what great pressure was
exerted ON me to make me
withdraw my signature from
the Weideman petition.
"Of course / refused, for I
am in hearty accord with the
principles of the Mcleod bill
and believe it is only by pass
ing such legislation that we
can restore national confidence
in our banking institutions and
unfreeze the millions Of dol
lars worth of good assets
frozen solid behind the doors
Of closed banks"
One Of the principal reasons
the Mcleod bloc is anxious to
secure the remaining handful of
signatures necessary to complete
the petition is that House and
Senate conferees are scheduled
to meet tomorrow to determine
the fate of bank relief provisions
contained in the Steagall deposit
guarantee extension bill.
Opposed BY Senators
It is the understanding of those
interested in the enactment of
bank relief legislation that the
Senate conferees on the Steagall
amendment were "hand picked"
with a view to opposing the
amendment.
This is shown in the vote the
members of the conference from
the Senate cast on May IA on an
amendment offered in that body

Aide Ascribes 3-Day Stay in
Ward to Pulled Tooth;
Room Guarded

Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, chief of
the NRA, has been ill in Walter
Reed Hospital since Monday night,
The Washington Times learned ex-
clusively today.
General johnson was taken to
the Army hospital about 10 o'clock
that night, suffering from a ner-
vous breakdown, it was reported by
an authoritative source.
Illness Kept Secret
At the hospital every effort was
made to keep his illness secret. No
name card was placed on the door
of his room as is customary, and
all inquiries as to his presence
were referred to the executive Of
ficer of the institution.
That officer declined to discuss
the generals illness at all.
The Times learned, however,
that the general had been closely
confined to room in Ward 8 and
that Miss Frances Robinson, as
sistant to the general, had been
a constant visitor at the hospital.
Walter Reed authorities said
that all information concerning
the general would have to come
from his office. 1t was said that
a formal statement would be is
sued late today.
Miss Robinson denied that the
general had suffered a nervous
breakdown, but said he had gone
to the hospital Monday to have
two teeth pulled.
Room Is Guarded
He has left the hospital, she
said. and would go to Arlington
National Cemetery with Mrs.
johnson today.
Despite this statement the hos
pital continued to keep a close
guard over the room he occupied
when admitted on Monday night.
The door was locked and the
blinds were pulled down so that
no one could see into the room.
Newspaper men were requested
to leave the ward waiting room
and stay in the main room on a
lower floor.

PARTY IS SPLIT
BY COLPOYS

After two decades or more Of
close association in the leadership
of the local Democratic party, a
decided split has developed be-
tween John F. Costello, local DEM
ocratic national committeeman,
and John B. Colpoys, United States
Marshal and Democratic central
committeeman for the District.
The parting of the way was
reached, The Washington Times
learned, when Mr.. Colpoys took
over the job as marshal. When he
was sworn in, he appeared in for
NAL morning attire, but without a
high hat. Many of his former
friends are convinced that Mr.. Col
poys has acquired a high hat"
since taking office.
A number of applicants for
jobs as deputy marshals, fortified
with recommendations Of Mr..
Costello, have called upon Mar
shall Colpoys. They are still
looking for jobs.
The new marshal, however, 1t
was learned, is paying plenty of
attention to applicants for jobs
who come to him with the rec
ommendation of Postmaster Gen.
eral James A. Farley.
Close observers are expecting
a merry fight when the next Dis
trict primaries roll around two
years hence, with the Costello
and Colpoys factions in the thick
of it.
The Washington times., 1934-05-30

Bowed with years, yet retaining
that fire of patriotism that led
them to respond to their country's
call, a handful of veterans who
wore the blue in the days of 81
to '65 turned out today for the
annual Memorial Day observance.
With them in the flag-decked

Arlington Is Mecca
Arlington National Cemetery,
resting place Of thousands of the
Nations heroic dead, was the
mecca Of thousands who came to
pay tribute to the memory of the
fallen.
The tomb of the Unknown Sol
dier, one of the most sacred spots
in the land, was decorated by
scores of organizations.
There went the two intrepid
French fliers who have just COM
pleted the hazardous flight across
the Atlantic, and arrived in the
Capital today to pay their respects
to the President.
Veterans of the French army,
they came to pay tribute to the
American soldier who laid down
his life on their soil.

IN AIR CRASH

ETHEL, Conn.,, May 30
I.N.S0.-With it's fuel tanks
empty and the pilot unable to see
the ground because of a dense
fog, United AirlineS plane,
bound from Cleveland to Newark
and carrying nine passengers, a
pilot, a copilot and a young stew
ardess, crashed into a clump OF
trees here early today.
The pilot, John Wolf, Of New
ark, and LorenZ LetSon, his CO.
pilot, were seriously injured, but
others aboard the ship escaped
with minor bruises and cuts.
Mr.. Letson, who lives in Chi
cago, suffered a fractured skull
and both his legs were broken.
Mr.. VOLTS skull also was frac-
tured. Both are in the Danbury
Hospital, three miles from here.
For approximately two hours
with his gas supply dwindling
rapidly, pilot wolf poked the nose
of his ship through the rain clouds
which blanketed the east last
night, dropping flares in a des-
perate, but unsuccessful effort to
sight a possible landing place.
When the last drop of gas had
been used, Wolf warned the pas
Sengers to fasten their safety belts
and then let the plane down.
The undercarriage of the plane
became entangled in the tops of
trees near Taylor Avenue and
was torn loose as the wings Of the
giant ship collapsed.
The plane left Cleveland at 8
