SAN FRANCISCO-(FP) - With
the aid of a score of jobless friends,
P. j. Garrison has established a night
and day watch to prevent eviction
from his San Francisco apartment.
Garrison had to give up his CWA
lob because of illness and refuses to
move from an $18 place to one for
SIG he could get with relief funds.
The 81 would be used up in moving,
he contends. His wife and baby are

r CHARGES
ARE DENIED BY
FELLOW DINERS

WASHINGTON-(FP)- A capac-
ity audience witnessed and laughed
their heads off at the second scene of
DR.. VIM. A. Wirt's "brain trust plot
comedy. One after another the six
who dined with the doctor at the now
famous dinner party took the stand
and denied making any of the state
ments he attributed to them. They
were cross-examined by a special COM
mittee Of the House, headed by Rep.
A. L. Bulwinkle of Gastonia, N. c.
All the witnesses agreed that Dr.
Writ monopolized most of the ION
versation by talking about his gold
theory, and that there was no discus
sion of political matters, as they did
not have a chance to get a word IN
~edgewise.
CDR. Writ was distinctly not seek
ing but giving information" said Miss
Hildegarde Kneeland, who followed
the hostess, Miss Alice Barrows, on
| the witness stand. She denied having
attempted to "implant an idea" in the
Gary schoolmaster's head. Neither
Kerensky nor the Soviet Union was
even mentioned at the dinner party,
she and the other witnesses testified.
Attempts of Congressman on the
| committee to link Laurence Todd
Washington correspondent for Tass,
Soviet news agency, with the Com
munist movement were unsuccessful
ut is we'll known l have been a So
cialist," he stated, "but as a foreign
press representative my views should
| remain my own. 1t would be highly
discourteous Of me, as a foreign cor
respondent, to discuss publicly in this
country American political, social, OF
economic issues, and do not propose
to do So" Todd held to this line de-
spite numerous attempts to lead him
into stating his political position.
DR.. Writ, tight-lipped, sat directly
behind the witnesses. He seemed Ia
enjoy the spotlight, for once or twice
he was unguarded enough to smile
But on each occasion he quickly wiped
off the smile and resumed the stern
expression Of a dauntless Red-hunter

NEGRO DOCTORS
BADLY NEEDED

At no time in the history Of our
country has there been a greater
need for the services of Negro
physicians than at present, DR..
Numa P. G. Adams, dean of the
Howard University Medical School,
stated today.
In Mississippi, according to the
1880 United States census, there
were only SO Negro physicians to
serve 1,OO9,718 colored people.
Alabama has ia Negro physicians
for 994,835 people.
In Georgia there we're 100
Negro physicians to serve 1,071, 125
Negroes.

LIQUOR BOARD.
POWER TESTED

Members of the Maryland LII
cense Board at a hearing in Upper
Malboro next Thursday will test
the right of the Prince Georges
Board of License Commissioners
to refuse a liquor license.
The case centers' around the de-
sire of Augustus Hill, of BladenS-
burg, to get a liquor license. His
petition was refused Seevral
months ago when members of the
Bladensburg Historical Society OBJ
jected to it on historical grounds.
At the same time the board will
be asked to reissue a license to T.
J. Brogan, of Edmonston Road,
whose license was suspended after
his indictment by the Grand Jury
for alleged violations of the liquor
law. His case later was noLe
pressed by the States attorney
and the issue now is whether the
board can repeal a license on in
dictment or conviction.
Mr.. Brogan intends to appeal
the case to the State License Board
should he now be refused license.
The Hill case was the first out
right refusal of the county liquor
board to issue a license.

D. G.. Firemen Plan
Labor Day Parade

Washington's firemen will pa
rade on Labor Day, after all.
For several weeks it has been
understood that the annual Labor
Day firemen's parade would be
held in Alexandria, the National
Firemen's Association having de-
cided on the Virginia city after
labor organizations obtained a
permit for a procession with
floats and bands for Labor Day
in this city.
However. arrangements have
been made for local and visiting
firemen to join in the labor
parade. Several fire companies
are building floats for the oc'
casion.

Housing Funds Needed

Housing Funds Needed
Recent efforts of the Admins
tration to stimulate industry and
business-with consequent i'm
provement in employment-haVe
shown that the bankers will have
to be taken into partnership. This
is notably true of the housing pro-
gram, which will be flop unless
the bankers can be relied upon to
give it support
The bankers have said that they
would help and there has been
considerable ballyhoo about their
participation. But there was obVl-
Gus reluctance on the part OF
many bankers to entering upon
the program.
It is to promote the Govern
ment with the bankers who are
disposed to be timid toward the
new steps that Mr.. Black has
taken on his new and important
task" His will be the job net
only of interpreting the New Deal
to the bankers, but also OF IN
terpreting the bankers to the Ne"
Deal.
These bankers have millions OF
dollars idle in their vaults. WhlIe
the money is there it isn't dong
the bankers any good. 1t isn't do
ing the country any good. 1t IS de-
cidedly a Instantaneous place
for money to be from the stand
point of the New Dealers.
Mr.. Black will try to lure it out
and into activity.
NRA Faces Changes
The New Deal in the Recovery
Administration evolves from
number of factors.
Primarily it comes about be-
cause a program which depends
for its success upon cooperation
cannot exist upon antagOnlsm.
The antagOnism is becoming in
creasingIy evident and increaS-
ingly vocal and :Ctive.
Whether he deserves it or not,
much of the blame for the an
tagonism is placed upon Gen.
Hugh Johnson. The cOlOrful per-
sonaIity which launched the
NRA and was invaluable in the
launching is not felt to be the
type which will keep it aflOat.
Another factor is that the little
heard-of MIRA is about to spring
to the fore. MIRA will have to be
given a face-lifting as soon as the
new Congress convenes. Otherwise.
she will die.
Bitter Battle Likely
Unless the NRA can be brought
into better repute with business
(and with labor before the over
hauling takes place, there will be
a terrifically bitter battle.
The reorganization and some
what of a change in policy are
supposed to be the things which
will pull the new law through the
new Congress.
One of the first detectives Of
the reorganization will be to iron
out some of the difficulties which
have brought about the most
serious attacks and the most
Steadfast Though not active)
opposition.
But both the creation Of the
bank liaison officer and the reor-
ganization of the Recovery Ad-
miniStration are being construed
as straight-out bids for the support
of business.
