SPANISH SWINDLE'
REPORTED REVIVED
Washington, Maryland, Virginia
Flooded by Letters From
Prisoner in SPAIN

The good old Spanish swindle.
which has been pain to the Post
Office Department since the days Of the
pony express. has cropped up again
and the citizenry Of Washington and
nearby Maryland and Virginia is being
flooded with intriguing communications
from a prisoner in Spain" offering
S120.000 in exchange for aid in OBJ
tanning his liberty.
1t seems that this uckless individual
has been put behind the bars there
for bankruptcy, which doesn't exactly
jibe with his story that he has $3.50 ,00C
put away in this country. Anyway
that's his story and he apparently Is
stuck with it.
All that the recipients Of these let
tiers have to do is get in touch with
a friend Of the prisoner, then come
over to Spain and help him out Of jail
and then return to this country and
cut in on third of the s360,000.
There used to be a girl in the case
but she is not showing up in the present
instance and postal inspectors think she
may have died of old age.
The numerous communications that
have been turned into the Office OF
Kildroy P Aldrich, chief inspector
lead to the belief that some city di-
rectories from this section have faller
into bad hands.
The inspectors have never heard o1
any one getting money out Of the Sug.
gested investment. but some gullible
souls who have gone so far as to make
the trip across have been sadly handled

OF the 60 students enrolled at Web

Of these are men and women whose early
education suffered neglect and some
who actually are illiterates. The others
are in classes studying various business
subjects, including typing and book
keeping.
Plans were being set up today for the
establishment of additional adult
classes in the Mckinley and Roosevelt
night schools Efforts are being made
to enroll rs c. c. c. boys from the
camp near Benning in the classes to be
established at Roosevelt.
Discussing the difficulties of setting
up adult classes under the c. w. A.
relief program. DR.. Stephen E. Kramer,
first assistant superintendent Of schools.
who is directing the adult educational
projects, declared that he was finding
it difficult to hire capable instructors.
He has found only two teachers capable
Of teaching stenography and none quail
ified to handle classes in mechanical
subjects under vocational education at
the Abbot Vocational School. Several
hundred applicants have asked for
teaching jobs and have been able to
show that they are unemployed" but
their qualifications making them
teachers" are sadly lacking, he said.
Art Class Opens Today.
One commercial art class is being set
up at Webster School today, and this
Is expected to attract an interested
group of students.
Miss Alton said she would request
that early evening classes be established
for adults at her school. Such classes
would fill the gap between the regular
day classes and the already scheduled
night school classes. and would run
from about $50 to about 7:30 pm.

.ELLENBOGEN URGES
OLD.AGE PENSIONS
New House District Committee
Member Asks Support in
Letter.

Representative Henry Ellenbogen OF
Pennsylvania, a new member on the
House District Committee, today sent q
circular letter to his colleagues in the
House urging their support of his old
age pension bill on which a hearing is
scheduled before the House Rules Com
mittee on Wednesday. The resolution
provides for appointment Of commit
tee OF seven members OF Congress. 1t
contemplates the establishment Of a
national system of old age pensions on
q contributory basis.
Ellenbogen calls attention that 81
countries. including Great Britain
Germany and some South American
countries. which have experimental
with old age pension systems for many
years, have found that contributory
system is the best.
students of the problem OF old age
security in the United States" said FL
lenbogen "have come to the conclusion
that the best method is national sys-
tenn on contributory basis. Such q
system cannot be put into operation
until the amount Of the necessary con-
tributions has been calculated by actu-
aries. The committee of Congress which
I propose should therefore be given
power to employ actuaries in order tc
calculate the amount of the necessary
contributions, to study and investigate
the proposed plan of a national contrib
utory system of old age pensions, anc
to report to Congress within six months
or at the beginning Of the next session
recommending such legislation as Il
deemed appropriate"

duction cost theory based on 1926
prices. Seven different sets Of figures
in all were submitted. OF these, five
we're reproduction cost figures based on
price levels in different periods. Two

smallest figure mentioned, and the
other, in which all price levels were
trended to June &c. 1882, resulting in a
figure of S31 1.831,511.

SPEED IN HOUSE
URGED ON RELIEF
Administration Asks Early
Passage of Bill Carry.
ing Se50,0OO,OOO.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration has informed
House Democratic leaders that early
action on the request submitted by
President Roosevelt on Saturday for an
appropriation Of so50.00o.000 for con-
tinuation of Federal relief and the c.
w. A. is desired.
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
the Democratic leader. said he under
stood $3.50, 100000 of this amount was
needed to carry on C. w. A. work until
about May /.
This estimate, he said. had been sub
mitted to House Democratic leaders late
Saturday at conference with Lewis
w. Douglas, budget director. The plan
as outlined at this conference, he said,
called for curtailment of outlays for
c. w. A. work after May /.
Sentiment in the House, Byrnes said,
was strong for continuation of c. w.
A. work on its present scale. He added,
however, that he understood admins
tration officials believed public works
employment would be increased during
the Summer months and would tend to
relieve the c. w. A.
"P. w. A. work and work under
other agencies should really get under
way during the Summer months and 1t
ought not to be necessary to carry on
G. w. A. work on its present scale
during that time" Byrns said.
While the bill submitted by the ad-
ministration for the appropriation Of
$3.50, 100000 did not break down how
much was to be spent for relief and
how much for c. w. A., 1t was indi-
Gated that at least 100000, 900 would
60 to the latter.
Byrns said it was hoped that the total
amount would be sufficient to meet re-
lief needs until Congress met next
January.
Asked why Mr.. Roosevelt requested
the $3.50, 10000 instead of $3.50, ,000, 900
as at first reported, Byrns said the ad-
ditional 100.000,000 was the amount
Director Douglas said would be needed.
Meanwhile, Chairman Buchanan,
Democrat, of Texas. Of the House Ap-
propriations Committee said he would
begin hearings on the estimate in
executive session late today. Harry L.
Hopkins, relief administrator, and Bud
get Director Douglas are to appear be-
fore the committee.

It was evident that with a larger

with No. needle.
Mrs. Prillimans chief rival now is
the reporter to whom she barred the
secret Of needle-threading. The re-
porter mastered the secret in four les
sons and caused his tutor to admit she
