 The value of such a law to the Slum- Clearance and low-cost hous- ing program is plain to see," a PWA official said. ''As 1t is, the government is handicapped by ex- isting laws that force 1t either to purchase land at excessive prices or condemn ii through drawn-out court proceedings.

 Genuine Boom Possible
 There Is no doubt" the speak CT continued, "but that a genuine boom could be produced by an ob- servance of economic factors alone. But it is fairly clear that this economic soundness might require for a period of time wages so low as to be socially intoferable.
 tIn an industrial economy which moves in such wide ranges as ours is capable of moving, it would proba bly be possible for wages to go as low as they have ever been in this country. for a short period of time. But the discipline neces- sary to make that experiment suc- ceed is simply not present in democratic government.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. IS
'(IN.SO Returns from so out
State precincts today gave Rep
resentative E. r. Burke ardent
supporter of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration, a commanding lead
over Gov. Charles w. Bryan in
the race for the Democratic Sen
atorial nomination.
The vote, exclusive of Lincoln
and omaha, gave 1882 for Repre-
sentative Burke to 1866 for Gov
ernor Bryan.
Coupled with the lead piled up
by Representative Burke in his
home city, Omaha, the champion
of President RooseVelt's policies
apparently was the victor.
Representative Burke had the
wholehearted en- dorSe m ent OF
Arthur F. Mullen, former ma
tional Democratic committeeman
and floor leader for the Roosevelt
cause at the 1882 national conVen-
ton.
On the other hand, Robert SIM
mons, former Representative, an
outspoken critic of President
Roosevelt's policies, was drawing
away from the field on the Re
publican side of the primary con-
test, indicating that the November
race for the Senate seat will be
one of the hottest political fights
here in recent years. Mr.. Sim
mons was out-stripping Robert
Smith, K. S. Wherry, and Barton
Green.
State Engineer Roy Cochran, a
Bryan man, continued to hold his
lead for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor, while Dwight
Griswold, publisher, was prac-
tically assured of the Republican
nomination for governor.

Operation

said:
In the District of Columbia
we have had for the past four
years an illustration of an in.
dustry utterly disOrganized, and
of labor utterly subservient.
This is not entirely due to the
operators themselves.
I'm Washington the taxicab
industry was in the hands of
major companies which Oper-
ated large fleets of cabs at rates
considered excessive.
frequent efforts were made
to reduce these rates without
success. Other grievances Of
the public included the mOnOp-
oily of hotel stands and Union
Station facilities"
Mr.. Roberts declared that
many abuses have arisen under

that there should be at least 700

ANTONIO GIRLS
To Be ADOPTED.

If you were looking for a child
to adopt, would you be willing to
take one of the orphaned chill,
dren of Mrs. Anna Antonio, cleo
trocuted last week in New York
for completely in the Staying of
her husband?
Two New York families have
offered to take Mrs. Antonio's
little girls. Phyllis, 9, and
Marie, 7.
The fact that the little girls
mother died in the electric chair,
these two families contend, is
no bar to their desire to give
the youngsters a mothers and
fathers affection.
Miss Patricia MorSs, of the Dis
trict Board of Public Welfare,
in whose hands the job of plac-
ing local children for adoption
rests, agrees with them.
Says Miss MorSs:
"In similar case should
not consider the fact that their
mother so died as a major or
even important factor. Other
far more vital elements enter
into the problem of adopting a
child"
Throughout the unfortunate
woman's trial and in the days
preceding her electrocution her
greatest concern was for her chill
dren. Her devotion to the three
little ones was remarked by even
those prejudiced against her.
