GOVERNMENT HELD
BUSINESS PARTNER.
Wallace, in Magazine Ar.
ticIe, Denies Communistic
or Fascist State.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The alternatives Of Communistic
or Fascist state, or of a Government
that looks upon itself "as a partner
with business, labor. agriculture and
consumers" were enunciated today by
Secretary Wallace.
Explaining his political philosophy
in the current issue of Golfers Weekly,
the Secretary of. Agriculture made this
his answer to those who object to
Government in business" Under
present conditions. he asserted, there
is too much interference by business
with government.
"A democracy worthy Of the name, u
he said, must be guided by social
justice and social charity-in other
words. the greatest good for the great
est number.
Reliance upon such rules is not
the way of Socialism, of Communism,
nor of Fascism. But neither Is 1t the
way of the freebooter capitalists with
their devotion to unlimited competi-
ton"
Wallace's article, "The Tyranny OF
Greed" was taken from his forth
coming book, New Frontiers" BY
coincidence or otherwise, his volume
will appear soon after that by former
President Hoover. and will signal, too
a rush of New Deal book writing.
Those who have read in proof the
books by Mr.. Hoover and Secretary
Wallace declare the latter has under
taken to answer some Of the assertions
by the former. Both volumes have
been selected as the monthly choices
of book club.
Close after the Hoover Wallace
tones will comes one by Hugh S.
Johnson-an autobiography now being
written in the seclusion of an Office in
New York.
The one-time writer of boys ad-
venture stories was said to be rushing
the manuscript to completion this
week to enable publication while his
resignation as N R. A. head is fresh
in the public mindr Johnson's asso-
ciates report that he will employ
much of his favorite vernacular in
discuss ng his experiences in directing
N R. A.
In his magazine article Wallace said
IF the full truth were ever known
about the way governmental influence
has been used by great corporations
public indignation would know nc
bounds"

EDMONTON, Alberta, September
28.-Four boys and a girl today were
in the children's shelter here after
their mother, unable to see them con-
tinue with the hardships of a back
woods life, drove them so miles to
Rimbey, and turned them over to the
Alberta Neglected Children's Depart
Uent.
They were brought to Edmonton by
Royal Canadian Police. When the
children arrived with their mother at
Rimbey they were clothed in flour
sacks and gunny sacking. They had
travelled two days through rain and
snowstorms on small rig drawn by
one horse.
Throughout the Summer the chill
dren played about with little cloth
ing. They have slight colds, but
otherwise their condition is about
normal
The boys are 10, 6, 4 and 8 years
old and the girl, 8. The eldest boy
told officials that all of the children,
including himself, were born in the
backwoods home and that a doctor
had never been in the house
/ The boy said their home has been
a one-room shack, with thin board
roof and a mud floor They have
been eating rabbits, he said. The
mother turned back to the backwoods
homestead.

DEATH IN FLAMES
MYSTIFIES POLICE
Los Angeles Man, Who Married
Two of His Three Wives
Twice, Victim.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, September 28.-
Mysteriously trapped by flames, Melvin
Hall, 43, wealthy real estate man, who
married two of his three wives twice,
was burned to death yesterday.
At the time of the fire, his latest
wife, Virginia Hobbs Hall, beauty con-
test winner from Memphis, Tenn, one
of the two he married twice. was
visiting her mother for the night.
Hall was trapped despite efforts Of
his 70-year-old father and several
neighbors to save him. His charred
body was recovered from the ruins of
the Office building Of the Verdugo
Woodlands estate, Is miles northeast
of here
Hall Married Vera May Hays in
1912. After IL years, during which
he amassed a fortune in the real
estate boom, she divorced him on
charges that he was associating with
Elizabeth Roclair The latter and
Hall we're married in 1926 and divorced
two years later.
Then Virginia Hobbs, who held the
title, Miss Memphis" came to Holly
wood and met Hall on blind date. -
Romance followed and they were mar
ried in Mexico in 1929. Mrs. Eliza
beth Hall, however, rewon Halls af-
fections, and he later obtained a Mex
ican divorce from the beauty winner
and married his second wife again.
But Virginia Hall entered the pic
ture again and in a few months Hall
was sued for separate maintenance by
Elizabeth Hall. The real estate man
countered with a suit asking that his
second marriage to Elizabeth be an
nulled on grounds that his Mexican
divorce from Virginia was not legal.
He said he had gone back to Virginia
and wanted to resume legal marital
status with her, but found himself
with two wives.
Investigating the fire, deputy sheriffs
said there were indications Hall had
struggled with some one else or had
fought desperately to escape the
flames before being overcome. A
heavy lounge was found overturned,
the deputies said. Last night. how
ever, tbe officers said they had found
no evidence indicating the fire was set
by some one else.

Mr.. Hitler's capable ambassador,
Hans Luther, has been getting what
is commonly known as the run-around
lately at the State Department. He
would not know the meaning of that
idiom. but he knows what he has been
getting, and he does not like it.
His protests against the Senate mu-
nitions expose were so far the most
explosive State Secretary Hull has re-
ceived. Those who witnessed the
scene between the tall Mr.. Hull and
the elf-like Mr.. Luther will never for
get it, with Mr.. Hull hemming and
having and Mr.. Luther initiating a
miniature volcano.
Our diplomats regard Mr.. Luther
as the most conscientious diplomat
in Washington, but they toould
rather talk to him on the tele-
phone. What makes it so hard is
that they cannot tell him that Ger
mdny's arbitrary proclamation OF a
moratorium on foreign debt pdy-
ments, her discrimination against
American .bondholders and Mr..
Hitler's policies in general make
Mr.. Hitler Uery hard to take. L
Even Gen. Johnson's worst enemies
around town are now admitting they
know of few men with sufficient zeal
and energy to have put over the
N R. A. as he did in the first place.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not very popular
with his fellow yachtsmen who at
tended the Americas Cup races. Those
who followed the Nourmahal saw
frequent little personal evidences Of
unfriendliness toward the President
by persons on other yachts.

clothing as further corroboration, 1t
is held.
1t is known fact that when Lind
bergh, through Dr.. John F. Condor,
insisted that some further token must
be furnished as proof that John" was
in possession of the baby. John" put
up stubborn argument that further
proof was unnecessary. because of the
exact similarity of the three holes
punctured in each of the ransom
notes. Had John been in possession
OF the baby's garment at that time,
1t is reasoned, he would have had
no cause to oppose Lindbergh's
demand.
Lindbergh Insisted on Token.
Col. Lindbergh was obdurate in his
ultimatum that no money would be
paid until a snapshot of the baby, IT'S
fDgerprlntS or some recognizable
article OF its clothing was produced,
and John eventually, with the
greatest reluctance, agreed to submit
the token.
Several days elapsed, however, be-
fore John" sent to DR.. Condor a
package containing the baby's sleep
ing suit.
What is regarded as a particularly
significant point in this connection
is that the suit had been freshly
laundered. II the baby had been
dead but unburied or had been alive
all the time this garment was re-
moved from its body 1t Is argued,
there would have been little reason
TO wash and iron it. In TACT, 1t could
have been more easily identified by
its mother and nurse without wash
ing.
It Is the firm belief Of some official
observers that the suit was washed
either because it had been dug up
from the grave or possibly becalse it
was stained with blood when removed
prior to interment Of the Lody. In
the latter case, 1t was explained, the
kidnapers probably would never have
removed it from the chlld's body.
A further circumstance which fits
into the exhumation theory is that
the body was only partially buried
when found-possloly because no time
was lost by the kidnapers in digging
up the remains and removing the
garment that was identified posi-
lively by Betty Cow. who recognized
stitches she had taken in it some time
before the kidnapping.
One article of clothing the bao.'
was wearing when it was stole.l has
never been found, it was disclosed to-
day This was tiny pair of rIbher
pants. These may have been removed
at the same time as the sleeping suit
and If found in the possession of
o suspect would be most incriminating
The kidnapers dropped one article
as they reached the border OF the
Lindbergh estate. 1t was small
rubber thumb-guard-later recovered
by detectives searching the grounds.
1t Is in possession of Jersey author
tiles.

mand. either domestic or export.
Stimulation of the so-calleo heavy

for the bulk of unemployment.
Agricultural recovery by deter

the domestic market for agricultural

inequalities between agricultural ano
industrial products.
Balanced Budget Pledged.
"The termination of the present
frightful waste and early return &C
a balanced budget.

Faced with a gathering storm OF
opposition, the old guard bloc back
ing the nomination of Robert Moses
for Governor moved into the second
day of the convention today still
confident of success.
Holding what was estimated to be
956 of the $500 votes-more than a
safe majority-the Moses faction
staked its chances on a first ballot
victory.
Harvey Is Second Choice
Gathering strength steadily, George
q. Harvey, borough president OF
Queens. was the obvious second choice
of "old guardsmen" dissatisfied with
the prospects of Moses candidacy.
While F. Trubee Dawson, chairman
of the old guard Campaign Commit
tee of 400, derided reports of swing
to Harvey, Representative Hamilton
Fish reiterated his pronouncement OF
upstate dissatisfaction over Moses.
If Moses doesn't carry on the first
ballot I'll be inclined to swing te
