Don't Quote Me-
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - The
press conferences of Harold L.
Ickes. secretary of interior, public
works administrator, oil code ad-
ministrator, etc, etc, are always
well attended Fifty or more re-
porters go, as much for the badi-
mage as for the news.
For instance, here s a running ac-
count of Ickes latest conference:
A wasp buzzes around the chan
delier above Ickes' head but he
doesn't notice it.
He s busy demanding who are the
gentlemen anyway, who make up
the economy league. He hears
that they are insisting he quit
spending money on public works so
the budget may be balanced.
Nobody seems TO know who makes
up the membership league. So the
secretary flicks an ash from his
cigaret and observes:
~ don't like to spar with gen.
tlemen of undisclosed identity"
He looks up at the ceiling, but
still doesn't see the wasp. The ar
gument about the economy league
goes on. Are its members Republic
cans or Democrats or what? Ickes
settles that, thus:
"They re the least of my worries.
Why, they worry me less than the
liberty league (another organiza-
ton he has criticiZed)

A GOOD APPOINTMENT


Considerable hue and cry was made
over the need for greater safety at sea
as exposed in the investigation of the
MORO Castle disaster, but not so much
publicity has been given to a move made
this week by President Roosevelt to cor
rect the conditions which the investiga-
tion brought forth.
This was the appointment of Captain
George Fried to be supervising Inspector
of the department of commerce, charged
with proper inspection of passenger and
freight ships.
Captain Fried's name may not be any
too familiar, Just now to the general
public, but he will probably be recalled
as the sea captain who has always been
on the spot when there was rescue to
be performed and on such occasions he
showed rare skill, courage and resource
fulness. He is easily the outstanding ci-
william sea hero in the country.
His exploits as a hero have only
served to expose the fact that Captain
Fried is thorough-going seaman. Slip
shod methods are no part of his make
up, if one is to judge by the way he has
handled himself in emergencies.
Appointment of Captain Fried is not
going to halt sea disasters but it should
go long way toward proper inspection
of ships to see that all equipment neces-
sary to protect life is not only in good
condition but that crews are trained to
use it when necessity arises.
The post may be considered a minor
one but the appointment is one of the
best Mr.. Roosevelt has made.

BUTLER SOUNDS OFF

II we could forget a few incidents of
the past, we might be much more con-
cerned over the revelations of an Amer
lean Fascist plot made yesterday in New
York by Major General Smedley D. Told
Gimlet Eye) Butler, U. S. NJ c., retired
According to the generals story, he
was approached by representatives of
Wall street with an offer of several mil
lions of dollars to become 'the man on
horsebaek'-leading a march on Wash
lngton to GUST the government and put
in a Fascist system in its place.
The incidents of the past to which We
refer are Buffers debacle as head of the
Philadelphia police department; his
very much debated course of action in
San Diego with reference to telling on
another officer for an offense more
breach of etiquette than breach of mil
itary rule; his charge that Mussolini wan
tonly killed a child by striking it with
an automobile; and something approach
ing a cloud regarding the Haitian block
house, for capture of which Butler re-
ceived his second Congressional Medal
of Honor.
Buffers career smacks too much of
sensationalism and desire for the spot
light, to take his latest charges too SER
iously. Certainly they should not be so
taken until the congressional investiga-
tion before which they were made, has
been completed.
Butler has penchant for making the
first page. Since his retirement occas-
ions for doing so have not been as num-
erous nor as opportune as when he was
the active, swash-buckling leader of a
group of recognized fighters.
"The man on horseback" if he ever ar
riyes, will have to be someone able to in
spire greater confidence in greater
number of people than General Butler
is able to do. He is too closely related
to the champion flag pole sitter.

of legal units in treasury branches
and units.
These positions carry a salary not
to exceed $4,000.
The senate committee approved
the reorganization, but shifted the
appointing power of the assistants
from the secretary of treasury to
the President, again with the pro-
vision that the selections must be
passed upon by the senate.
Senate attacks upon Earle Bailie,
brought from New York as assistant
secretary of treasury by Secretary
Henry Morgenthau Jr., were recalled
in the discussions which preceded
the senate committees action. It
was suggested that if the secretary
not only Mr.. Morgenthau, but
any one who might succeed him
were given free hand there might
develop situations in which the
senate would be unable to inter-
vene unless it were given confrma-
ton power.
1t was felt also that operations
of the sterilization fund would be
more open to criticism in the SEN
ate if appointment of its executive
officers was hidden in mystery and
removed from the open forum Of
senate debate.

wrote house provisions so that

Lieutenant Woods death was the
first since the army resumed air
mail service following a period of
suspension ordered by President

fatalities.
A heavy rainstorm, Of which the
fier had not been warned, was
blamed for the crash. Although
Lieutenant Wood was bound west

feet into the ground. The twenty
three mail sacks, weighing 500
pounds, were scattered. Lieutenant

ATHENS, March 81. - Foreign
Minister Demetroio Maximos today
cabled the Turkish government at
Angora, demanding release under
international law of the Greek
steamship Maiotis, which has
Samuel insult aboard as passenger.
Turkish authorities have held the
ship since Thursday, seeking a way
to extradite insult to answer
charges of fraud in the United
States.
Mr.. MaximoS'S demand was made
upon representation of George Pop,
chief counsel here for the Chicago
utilities man. Attorney Pop also
engaged the Istanbul law solicitors,
Katras, Savas & Stergio, to repre-
sent insult there.
Mr.. Pop cabled the master of the
Maiotis to refuse to surrender In
sull if police demanded him, and to
ask for indemnities for the Maiotis's
detention, which he holds to be
without warrant in international
law
Mr.. Pop ordered the master of
the Maiotis to offer armed resist
ance if necessary to prevent Insults
seizure.
