The most abused man in Washing
ton right now is Interior Secretary
Ickes. His toes seem to offer the most
popular carpet in town. Every one
is enjoying a stroll on them.
The latest unpublished incident
centers around a recent ruling by
Controller General McCarl.
Loses on Own Building.
Mr.. Ickes cut through the red tape
In his P. w. A. to get few million
dollars allocated for his own new
Interior building. He thought he
should control the construction of his
own building, so he set himself to the
tasks. But the Treasury decided it
should and would supervise the con-
struction of all Federal buildings, in
cluding those Of Mr. Ickes. When Mr..
Ickes declined to agree, the Treasury
took the case to Mr.. McCarl.
Letter-of -the-Law McCarl wrote a
letter to Mr.. Ickes laying down the
law and siding with the Treasury.
The result Is that, while Mr.. Ickes
can tell every p. w. A. borrower what
kind of building to build and where
to hang the pictures, the construction
of the Innterior Department building
is now in the hands of Admiral j. c.
Peoples of the Treasury's procure
ment section.
Some Senators have suggested pri-
vately that Nye should be recon-
mended for the Nobel Peace prize be-
cause Of his work in the munitions
hearing.
1t is apparently true that the war
profits move was not inspired by pre-
paredness. That is, it is true in the
sense that no officials here expect us
to get into war anytime soon. Never
theless, it is long range preparedness.

Police today expressed belief that a

yielded the solution of at least three
crimes, one of them the kidnapping Of
Reporting that Weiss may have been
drowned by his abductors, they
planned to drag the Delaware River
today.
Four men and woman were seized,
among them Charles Zeid, who has
been sought in the killing Of William
FeitZ, a Camden. N. j., detective.
In the house the police found one
OF the most elaborate underworld arse
mails ever seized here.
Three Others Held.
Others arrested, they said, are Frank
r. Wiley, who escaped from the East
ern Penitentiary last July by crawling
through a sewer; Harry Seidel, a man
who described himself as George Bar
rett, and Mrs. Beatrice Wilkinson, also
known as Walker, said to be Zeid's
companion.
The Woman's three small daughters
were turned over to police matron.
Detectives who had been watching
the house "shot it out" at the Wayne
Junction Station of the Reading Rail-
road with several men who, they say.
included Robert Mais, gunman, who
shot his way out of Richmond, Va,
Jail. where he was awaiting execution.
The detectives followed a man who
left the house carrying a suitcase.
He rode a cab to the central city,
where two men joined him. They
then went to the railroad station
where through some confusion the
officers found themselves on the plat
form opposite the three men.
Return Gunfire.
The latter spotted the detectives
and started running along the tracks.
The officers fired and the trio
answered in kind and then vanished
in the darkness.
Along with MaiS, the detectives said
they believe, was Walter LegenZa. his
pal in the September 20 prison break
when three guards were wounded. A
third man is believed to have been
Willie Davis, another gangster.
In their flight the gunmen aban-
doned their luggage, which police
found was q portable arsenal. They
called for reinforcements and raided
the house they had been watching.

The peace-loving Senator from
North Dakota had been knocking the
munitions makers right and left. He
had just stepped back to aim at the
war profits pins. They were to have
been set up before his Senate Investi-
eating Committee Thursday. But on
Wednesday he saw the White House
ball rolling down the alley for another
sweep.
There iDds nothing left for Nye
to hit ercept the ceiling, and he did
that immediately.
johnson Here Sunday.
The inside facts seem to be that
Mr.. Roosevelt got into this war profits
game rather hurriedly four days be-
fore he made his announcement. Last
Sunday, Bernard Baruch and Gen.
Hugh S. johnson were slipped into the
White House secretly for a luncheon
conference on the subject. The bare
news about Johnson's presence leaked
out later. But the nature of his visit
was kept out of the papers. as was the
participation of Baruch.
Some say the President was anxious
to get the war profits ballyhoo started
for several more important reasons
than the mere fact that the Senate
Committee was going into the subject.
For one thing, the pending INSTALL
ment of his fireside talks radio serial
Ln~ 1fF iy,na fa
He expected to deliver it Immediately
after his return from Warm Springs,
but the Warm Springs conferences
apparently failed to iron out details
Of important matters sufficiently to
permit him to talk about them. He
needed something to fill the gap.
Another consideration was the fact
that there Is bonus trouble coming up
with the American Legion, and the
war profits idea is the Legion's own
primary issue. The Legion discov-
cred it IL years ago. long before even
Nye..
Legion officials may be in more
conciliatory mood on the bonus
nop that the White House has
taken up their pet Uur profits
project.
The phrase ''take the profit out Of
war" is conceded to be one of the
best slogans of this advertising age.
Like many slogans, 1t Is not exactly
accurate.
Some Profit VIII Remain.
What the New Dealers now are
really trying to do is to curtail war
prohteering.
There will still be plenty Of profit
left in war. Because 1t cannot en-
tirely be taken out.
You can get an enlightening insight
into that situation by digging into the
report filed by the War Policies Com
mission. 1t went into the suject thor
oughly for Mr.. Hoover in 1882 and
its report has been untouched in the
files ever since.
This commission proposed that
corporations and individuals be taxed
95 per cent of all wartime income
above a previous three-year average
with proper adjustment for capital
expenditures for war purposes by
existing or new industries"
The normal profit, therefore, would
be undisturbed. Legion Comdr. O'Neil
testified a fair normal profit would
be per cent. In war, then, firm
could earn 7 per cent normal profit
and per cent excess war profit, or
total Of IL per cent, without con-
sidering the numerous capital ex-
penditures" loopholes.
The result wiI be much better
than the 100 per cent and eUen
1000 per cent profits made occa-
sionally from the last Udr. Yet it
could hardly be called ticking the
profits out OF Ddr"

The administration took steps to

retention of the act was the best
method in sight to meet the situation.
He announced he would seek legisla-
