LAW TO PROTECT
ALIENS PLANNED
Labor Department Studies
Report Charging Sharp
Practices by Lawyers.

Stringent measures to protect aliens
from exploitation by racaetecrs and
unscrupulous lawyers, condemned in a
special report to Secretary of Labor
Francis Perkins are being studied by
the Labor Department with view to
seeking additional legislation from
Congress on behalf of aliens awaiting
naturalization.
Secretary Perkins special committee
headed by Carleton H. Palmer, which
is studying immigration and natural
ization problems, drew attention to
sharp practices by attorneys and
others who are preying upon un-
suspicious aliens. The committee
recommended more stringent laws to
reach exploiters, pointing out that ex-
cept where a Federal officer is i'm
perSonated or Federal papers are
forged there is no law by which ex-
ploiterS can be prosecuted 1t also
recommends that the Labor Depart
ment license attorneys and others ap-
pearing before the immigration and
Naturalization Service in cases in
volving matters properly coming
before it.
Aside from alleged explorations. the
committee recommended so per cent
reduction IN naturalization fees,
which were raised from SIS to $40 in
1929. Since that increase in fees, it
was pointed out. there has been a
startling decrease in the number of
naturalizations and widespread testi-
money to the effect that the present
fees are a serious deterant to citizen
ship
This decrease in naturalization Is
unfortunate, the committee stressed
coming at the beginning of the present
period of unemployment. BY reducing
the fees. the committee believes a
large majority of the 100000 aliens
still in the United States will be able
to take out citizenship papers.

GEORGIA NRA
ROW FLARES
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
The NRA's difficulties with
State authorities in Georgia were
brought to a head today when
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson
asked President Roosevelt to de-
eide if Federal highway funds
should be paid into State
which uses this money to thwart
the purpose of Federal law"
The controversy started when
the NRA withdrew it's Blue Eagle
from the Whitley Construction
Co., of Lagrange, Ga. This was
followed by a Federal court en-
joining the company from violat-
ing the wage and hour provisions
of the construction code.
Then the State authorities, the
NRA contends, took over the COM
pany's construction work and con-
tinued the same working condi-
tions the Whitley concern had
established. The NRA claimed
the company paid employees below
the codes stipulated minimum
and worked them over the max
imum hours.

FAULT SISTERS

NEW YORK.-With his wife's
brother his staunchest supporter,
Charles Frost, tax expert of Larch-
mont, N. Y, denied the separa-

his wife, Eva Rodman Frost, noted
woman lecturer and mother OF
five children.
Mrs. Frost's brother, Joseph
Rodman, of Brooklyn, is now pro-
viding the home for Frost which,
he claims, his wife refused to give
him. Rodman in an affidavit, de-
scribes his brother-in-law as:
"a decent big-hearted fellow
who is not at all at fault in the
domestic difficulty"
Laying the blame for the dis
cord at his sisters door, Rodman
calls her arbitrary and overbear-

Sausage Is Problem?
Their hardest work came with
the sausage code. They tried to
get Prof. Felix Frankfurter, but
he could not serve. Then they
approached Dan Bull, vice presi-
dent of the Cream of Wheat
company. He didn't take to the
sausages, but agreed to go on the
stock yards operations code.
Now, besides putting Mr.. Sweet
on the syrup blendtrs and mo-

BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS
William E. Sweet, one-time
Democratic Governor of Colorado,
and now chief speaker for the
speakers section of the NRA
Public Relations Bureau, has re-
trieved his desk and found his
new boss.
It was reported last week that
Mr.. Sweet, on returning from
protracted vacation in the Silver
State, found his boss gone and
his desk occupied. This went
hard on the former governor, and
complaint seeped through to
the press.
All Is Serene
Now, however, all is serene. He
has a fine desk, the use OF the
sections secretary as chief Of the
speakers section.
It seems that Mr.. Sweet came
back from his vacation a week
earlier than was expected, and in
the swirl of NRA work someone
had usurped his desk.
The speakers section deals
mainly with volunteers, Mr.. Sweet
is one of the few paid speakers.
Last year he addressed cham
bers of commerce, rotary clubs,
boards of trade, colleges, and sum-
mer schools at universities. He
ranged from Boston to Dallas,
Tex, visiting all the principal
Eastern and Middle Western cities.
Mr.. sweet is an intense be
lever in liberalism. When he ran
for governor of Colorado i'll 1922
he advocated collective bargaining
and cooperative marketing.
Stocky of figure, with a deeply
tanned skin and the prominent,
steady eyes of the consistent ideal
ist, he believes that the Demo
cratic party should be liberal
party. He said:
''The Administration Is en-
gaded in a test of whether or
not it can bring about controlled
capitalism. 1t expects to be able
to do this within the framework
of the capitalistic system, rest
ing upon the American tradi-
tiOn and relying upon a liber-
ally construed constitution"
He came from the open spaces
to Washington because he saw
after a decade of lean Republican
years, a chance to apply his be
liefs. He said to his wife. 81

uting the principles of the NRA
to the country"

CATS CURIOUS;
THEPOORF|SH

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 14.-Riley
Woods, of Eastport, suburb of
this city, today caught some
thing such as he never had
caught before in all his long
years as a fisherman.
His "catch" really ought to go
down in the annals of famous
fishing yarns. For it consisted
of a large cat, near victim of
the old proverb that curiosity
killed a cat"
Mr.. Woods went down to his
fishing boat and saw his line
drawn tightly to a length of about
40 feet. He followed the line
from the boat and found it ended
in clump of bushes in which
the cat was nestled, nursing her
mouth in which was embedded
the fish hook.
Apparently, the cat had boarded
the boat, eaten the bait-a piece
of crab-and, unable to remove
the hook from her mouth, had
run into the clump of bushes. The
fisherman took the hook out of
the cats mouth and treated her
wounds, whereupon the animal
Scurried home.

ed last winter by the city under

portions this year than last judy
ing from the outloog at present,

DIRECTORS ASK
OPINIONS ON
COOP CANNERY
Ample Finances Available for
Federal HOOk-Up for Local
Institution; More Spinach
and Toms Next Week

The past years experience has
indicated to this district that q
cannery is a necessity-one which
should have been in operation here
years ago. Insofar as the cannery
itself was concerned, the season was
not an unqualified success, altho
no little satisfaction is felt that
the concern could have made the
big strides forward which have
been noted.
The Importance Of is continuance
here has been brought to the front
by a recent action taken by the de
rectors Of the two local irrigation
districts. These men have issued
call to the directors of the Han
ford, Benton City, Richland, Pasco
and Burbank districts to meet with
them in the Masonic hall next
Monday night for the purpose Of
discussing the advisability Of en-
tering into some sort of an agree
ment toward securing coopera-
tive set-up for the ensuing year.
The local men will explain that
thru government agencies q COM
prehensive survey of the district
can be obtained. This survey will
cover the availability of the raw
product, the quality in relation to
the processing, the crops which
might be advantageously utilized
and the marketing possibilities for
such products.
Should these factors prove fav-
orable, there is a possibility Of Sc
curing sufficient funds for the
erection of a suitable building at
a very low rate of interest, also for
the purchase of machinery. 0per-
alton expenses can also be arrang-
ed under the government cooper
ative rules-a liberal amount and
also at low rate of interest.
Certain local problems will Of
necessity, have to be worked out
before it will be possible to take
advantage of the governments
set-up. Growers consent must also
be obtained in a sufficient num-
Der to justify, in the opinion Of the
government officials, the placing
of funds for that purpose.
These details, it is expected, can
all be readily worked out and the
endorsement of the directors Of
the adjoining districts is being
sought before going further with
local plans.
The cannery, contrary TO expect
tations, will operate a couple Of
days next week. More spinach and
another batch Of tomatoes is avail
able and the plant will utilize the
stock of cans now on hand.
