U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SWITCH

The about face of numerous "bg business" lead CTS and the United States Chamber of Commerce, in particular, from their attitude of Anti-New Deal to Pro-New Deal just previous to- and since election is not only significant as to the real progress and permanency of the New Deal, but without doubt this changed attitude the part of many opponents of "big business will expedite recovery and the fufiment of the New Deal and President Roosevelts policies.
 Strongly pro-Hoover before the 1882 Roosevelt landslide the U S. Chamber of Commerce, through its magazine Nations Business" apparently during the past two years resented much of the Roosevelt program and while many of their nterpretative stories were tempered bit, it cannot be said that they ever showed any enthusiasm for the general of the Presidents program of recovery
 The U. s. Chamber of Commerce directorship in their recent meeting resolved that "utterances of the President encourage the belief that he is receptive of suggestions for promotion of the common well fare" and the directors pledged fullest coopera- tion," appointed Recovery Committee headed by Sias Hardy Strawn, President of the Chamber while Herbert Hoover was President of the country and since than confirmed New Deal critic
 As result the U. S. Chamber of Commerce which has been about as helpful in the recovery program during the past two years an Oregon Boot would be to Paavo Nurmi, is now the leader of the current business drive to put men and money back to work quickly. The haste after two years

The VictOrians Laughed.
(New York Times.)


 For our finest nonsense literature we go to Queen Victoria Day before yesterday there died Alice Liddell Hargreaves silvery little old lady out of the Victorian past. c. L. Dodgson wrote TOT her when she was dozen years old, story called Alice in Wonderland" It appeared in 1863, the wear of Appomattox which also the high point of the Victorian age About five years before Alice Iidden was born there appeared in l846 a Book of Nonsense" by man named Edward Lee Two wears before Queen Victorias 1887 jubilee there was produced an opertta called 'The Mikado' by Messrs- Gilbert and Sullivan.
 The age of Queen Victoria may have been prim and hypocritical and materiaSt and drab but IL seems to have been punctuated with outbursts of inspired laughter Scholarly Presidents of the United States use Lear limericks to make a point. The American nation as whole takes the original of Alice in Wonderland" to it's heart when she comes visiting here. And sophisticated New York seem ingly cannot have enough of the Savoyard sunshine and laughter.
 If Siegmund Freud not somewhat out Of the mode today, it would be easy to explain why there was so much splendid fooling in the Vic torian age The times grim that people needed escape" But it may be almost worth while to live through grim years for such escape.

lethargy on the parl O. this body is the hope that conditions will be materially better before Congress meets If this improvement occurs it is not likely that Congress will swing too far towards the left and the Chambers business gentlemen are con- cerned about that possibility.
 Regardless of the couse and despite the un- fortunate and even pouty delay that the U S Chamber has exercised in coming to thorough going sincere support of the President their present action is benefciay important to the entire country, and is certain to expedite recovery.

Appointed for Merit
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 A good many recent appointments of women to political office appear to be strictly political de- csions recognizing that women politicians have a lot to say regarding the coralling of the women's vote. Some others in the nature of rewards going to the widows of officeholders
 The appointment of Miss Josephine Roche as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury is definitely not of the latter category of appointments, for Miss Roche has proved her ability in several fields. Both as business executive and a worker in the welfare field she has distinguished record. Since her duties in the Treasury Department will center about the Public Health Service and per- sonnel problems of the department, it appears that she will bring to the office qualifications peculiarly well adapted to it.
 From the time she left VaSsar College and Columbia University, Miss Roche has been identified with industrial relations. Her success a coal operator has been considerable viewed simply from the standpoint of business profits Her success has been greater, however, in bringing indus trial peace to mining torn by periodic strife for many years previous There is every to believe that Miss Roche will acquit herself well in this responsible post.

OIL FIRM HEAD
FACES CHARGE
Member of Code Authority
Is Indicted; 149 Counts
in Bill.

By united Press
LOS ANGELES, March 24.-The
government delivered a sweeping
blow at accused petroleum code
"chiSelerS" today by indicting two
major oil companies, three indie
pendents and forty-one officials on
charges of violating the code of fair
competition and infraction of in
terstate commerce regulations.
K. R. Kingsbury, president of the
Standard Oil Company of Califor-
MIA and himself a member of the
code authority, and Paul Shoup.
president of the Southern Pacific
Railroad and a director of the Asso-
cited Oil Company, we're among the
business leaders indicted.
The action was characterized here
as the most drastic the government
yet has taken to enforce provisions
of the MIRA.
The Standard Oil Company of
California was charged with 149
specific instances of violating the
code while the Associated Oil con-
Germ was accused of 1876 specific
violations.
The independent operators named
were the Seaside Oil Company, the
Signal Oil and Gas Company and
the Signal Oil and Gas Company of
California. The grand jury charged
the three concerns were dominated
by Standard and the Associated, and
in effect were affiliates. Through
this system of control" the indie
pendents sold petroleum products at
prices lower than those posted in
the major stations, it was alleged.

1t follows:
There have been certain news

the difficulties between the KILLER
Trucking Company and the local
trucking union and some persons
through the press have been led to

in this dispute and We wish to clari-
fly this impression.
"The present controversy is be-
tween the Kibler Trucking Company
and the local union leaders and the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company does not enter into the

in which Sheriff Sarber was killed,
the gangSters talked readily. Pier
pont sat on the edge of the desk
which still bears the mark of one
of the bullets fired at the sheriff in
the desperate fight.
PierpOnt Speaks Bitterly
Don Sarber the sheriff's son stood
in a corner of the room with ma
chine gun levelled at the gangsters
during the interview. Makley and
Clark lounged on chairs, blinking in
the bright light after hours of con-
finement in unlighted cells.
Pierpont and Makley spoke bit
terly of the testimony of Edward
Shouse, former member of the gang
now serving a life sentence in
Michigan City. Shouse testified that
Pierpont fired the shot which killed
the sheriff and that Makley dubbed
the dying man with the but of his
gun.
Il wouldn't squeal on the worst
rat in the world" said Pierpont, his
lips curling in scorn. Not even if
1 was going out, and I'm sure I'm
going"
Makley nodded assent, st guess
I'm going too
Clark preserved his customary
silence, but listened intently to the
conversation.
I'VE All Knew Layout
eve knew all about the layout at
the Grown Point JAIL" Pierpont said,
land about the layouts of lots of
other Ohio and Indiana jails. We
made it our business in the Michi-
gan City prison to find out about
the Jail layouts from prisoners sent
from the county jailS to the state
prison."
Johnny Dillinger knew all about
the Crown Point JAIL too," the
trigger man" added. I'VE inter-
viewed fifteen prisoners in the state
prison who had done time in the
Lake county Jail, and it was a tough
one to get out Of" Pierpont said
that nobody could have escaped
from the Crown Point Jail without
assistance.
The attorney general said Judge
Emmit E. Everett told him he
would sentence the gangsters at diff
ferent times so they would not be in
the courtroom at the same time in
event of a gang effort to free them.
Hamilton Alive, Says Pierpont
1t was learned several department
of justice men are in Lima today,
investigating two angles of the gang.
One is the rumor that some of the
securities stolen by the mob have
been sold recently in Wisconsin, pre-
sumably to finance Dillinger's flight
and also trials of Pierpont, Makley
and Clark.
The other angle is that the car
being driven by Andrew Strachan,
Detroit, Clark's brother-in-law, I'M
doubtedly is one of the cars used
by Dillinger in his flight from
Grown Point, and that it was left
in Detroit to be available in event
