President Holds Popularity

TN spite of the fearful drought and the recent
i acute labor troubles in Minneapolis the President
seems to be holding his popularity with almost no
decline. Out here they look for Mr. Roosevelt to go
further left within the next few months.
They haven't doubt of it. Where else can he
go?" Is the form of the inquiry.
There is bitterness about the impending crop
failure. Farmers that wheat has gone
above dollar. Naturally that high price doesn't go
to the farmer He has wheat to sell and the
carry-over is not in his hands. He will make some
thing on the which he holds. But neither lack
of rain lack of cash is translated into resent
ment against the administration. In Minnesota
faith still rides high that Franklin D. Roosevelt is
the natural and solitary friend of the underdog No

MARINES WILL QUIT
HAITI NEXT MONTH
Last Will Be Removed by
August lowell Ahead
of Schedule.

The United States Marines will bt
withdrawn from Haiti early in Au.
gust, two months ahead of schedule
it was learned last night.
Ofhcial announcement of the with
drawal will be made by President
Roosevelt after he confers with Presi.
dent Stenio Vincent of Haiti, prob
ably at Cape Haitien, in the northern
part Of the island, this week.
Originally, the Marines were not
to leave Haiti until 1886, but this
was cut down to next October by
consent Of the United States and the
naval transport has evacuated some
Of the families Of the Marines sta
toned In Haiti and brought them tc
Norfolk, Va. Transports had been
ordered to stand by for further eva
cuation in the near future. With the
new orders in prospect, the Naval
Transportation Service will speed UP
the program to get the Marines out
probably by August 10.
President Vincent was in Washing
ton recently and discussed problems of
the occupation with American Off
cials. Congress recently authorized
the American forces to turn over to
the natives large part of the equip
ment that has been used during the
occupation.
1t is known that President Vincent
has been having trouble with his own
Legislature and officials here believe
President Roosevelt's projected action
is linked with this. Some observers
believe evacuation of the Marines in
August will tend to lessen tension be-
tween the Haitian executive and the
Legislature.

vention about the development of a

development of Soviet criminal law,
describing now it emerged out of the
inevitable fight" against the various
enemies OF his country's new social
order,
He explained that Soviet criminal
law was based on three underlying
principles - repression, reformation
and security, and he emphasized that
every effort was made to return the
reformed criminal to usefulness in
society.
Punishments, he said, were not un-
usual or cruel under the Soviet Grim
inal code. The longest prison term is
10 years.

packed. but for days we waited with
no definite word. The balance of our
April salary was long past due. We
we're almost completely tied up with
red tape and difficulties in the matter
of police Identification cards, postal
identification cards, pictures, finger
prints and official stamps.
During this time the food, which
always had been bad, got steadily
worse. First evidence of mail having
been tampered with was discovered
when we received letters that had un-
mistakably been opened.
On May 81 the single men were
removed from the hotel to quarters
near the seaplane base. The rest of
us were informed the government
would pay expenses at the hotel up
to that day but no longer. The first
pay check came about this time and
consisted of the several days pay due
for April, payable in pesos at the gov
ernment rate of exchange of lib,
rather than the current rate of Ito.
Some Willing to Fight.
Our leader informed every one that
the minister of war wanted letters
from all those pilots who were willing
to. fight in case of trouble. Two ca
Diagrams were sent our State Depart
ment in Washington asking about our
citizenship rights in the event of our
fighting. The State Department beat
around the bush, refusing to give a
direct answer. A number of letters
were written. expressing willingness to
fight with certain reservations, one
with regard to citizenship. Away
went our leader to Bogota with the
letters.
On May 25, our leader returned
from Bogata with news that Comdr
Strong had been ousted. The peace
treaty with Peru had been signed
and there would be no war. The min
lister of war had resigned and a new
one was in. Ten pilots were to be
allowed to break their contracts and
go home. However, only seven were
allowed to return, and, thank heaven,
was among them.
There was more than a weeks de-
lay in getting our salaries to us
causing us to miss several boats. On
June 6, two days before we finally
sailed, We received not cash, as had
been promised. but checks on New
York banks.
The Colombian government, in
stead of paying our hotel bill up to
May 81, as had been promised, had
paid it only up to May S. The hotel
management, discovering this, had
raised the rates from pesos a day
per couple to 8 pesos, retroactive
to May 5. We had to pay or we
couldn't leave, SO We paid.
Most of the bunch came down to
see us off. and many expressed re-
gret that they could not join us.
To those boys who are left behind
wish the best of luck and happy
landings For those airmen who may
be lured to service in foreign lands,
suggest that they look we'll into
the matter before going. The United
States is a pretty good place after all.

sion from Eddie LaRue that he was
a member of the gang which staged
the worlds largest bank robbery, the
$2,500,000 hold-up of the Lincoln
National Bank and Trust Co. in Sep
tember, 1880.
They attended a conference in the
office of Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Robert Van Pelt here
today, at which the purported verbal
confession of LaRue was reported by
Federal Agent J. Reid Green. They
said it exonerated Gus Winkler, slain
Chicago gangster who negotiated the
return of 100000 in securities stolen
in the robbery, but gave no indication
two men now serving 25-year SEN
tences for the robbery are innocent.
The convicted men are Tommy Pat
OConnor and Howard Pop" Lee,
formerly of East st. Louis.
Winkler once was charged with
participation in the robbery, but was
released by Towle after an investi-
CATION of an alibi and later Winkler
arranged for return of part of the
loot. The dismissal of charges against
him led to much criticism of the
prosecutor.
Reports that the statement of La
Rue might lead to the release from
the State penitentiary of OConnor
and Lee were denied vigorously by
Attorney General Good tonight.
Good said the statement purported
to name other members of the gang,
but that the names and descriptions
were too vague to make officers GER
tain of the participants. LaRue is
serving a 10-year Federal auto theft
term in Leavenworth Penitentiary.

1,241 PROJECTS
AIIocates S189,771,253 of
$500, 900, 900 Available
for P. w. A. Work.

Public Work: Administrator Harold
L. Ickes, during the first week of his
new P. w. A. program, has cut a
slse,771, ,253 slice out of the $780,
100000 made available for new prof.
ects.
He wound up a busy week yester-
Gay by Announcing another batch OF
ga projects to make a total of 1,241
non-Federal projects for which allot-
mentS were set aside during the flrst
week This quick action was possible
because Secretary Ickes had ordered
engineers, lawyers and financial ex-
pertS to prepare reports on appllca-
tions left on the waiting list as soon
as the old appropriation of $4,000, 00O,-
coo was exhausted.
ID. C. Awarded S8,000,000.
Maryland and Virginia have not
figured thus far in any of the allot-
ments made under the new program.
The District was awarded S8,000,O0O
out of its sl0,750,000 P. w. A. pro-
gram for a sewage disposal plant at
Blue Plains, plans for which are now
being prepared.
The projects have covered approXi-
mately every State. with the excep-
ton of MARYLAND and Virginia.
The estimated cost of the projects
to be built from these PAL allotments
is S225, ,000. 900. The difference in the
figures is accounted for by the fact
that 256 allGtments were grants only
of 80 per cent of the cost of labor
and materials and no loans were in
volved
Real expenditures" on public works
projects, that is for materials and
actual wages, have increased steadily
since the middle of February. when
severe Winter weather ended in most
States, Secretary Ickes was advised
yesterday.
Total Is S415, zoo, 900.
For the week ending February II,
the total was S9,000,000. The manner
in which such payments have ac-
celerated is indicated by cost of $28,-
100000 for the week ending June 16
The total of such expenditures to
June 16 was S475, 100000, which does

These figures for materials and
wages, rather than money disburse-
ments from the Federal Treasury, il
was announced by Secretary Ickes, are
the true index of the progressive re-
generating effect of the P. w. A. pro-
gram because money disbursements
usually follow considerably after the
real expenditures" which created the
employment.
Real expenditures" on non-Fed-
eral projects. it is estimated, will be
about 50,oo0,000 more than P. w. A
