Widows Acquittol Presoges
BuccOI0 Insurance Contest

serve His petition stated the widow
was not in position to act" In that
capacity.
Mrs. Buccolo, In Jail at the time,
countered with cross-petition, as
serting the brother had no interest
whatsoever under the law and asking
that she be named administrative.
Had the wife been convicted in the
criminal case, she would not have been
entitled TO any Of the money, the law
holding as a matter Of public policy
that no person criminally liable for
the death Of another can collect
insurance carried by the deceased. In
that event the money would have
gone to the mother.
In view Of the acquittal and the
fact that the wife was named bene-
ficiary in the policy, doubt has been
expressed as to whether the mother
is now entitled to any portion Of the
money.
If the mother decides to press her
claim, however, the whole matter
will be brought into court again for
a decision by a judge or jury.
Buccolo carried the $4,000 policy
through the Veterans Administration
as a result Of his service in the Ma
rine Corps. He also carried an acci-
dent policy and it was expected an
attempt will be made to collect on
this. which will necessitate court
decision on the question Of whether
shooting in self f-defense is an acci-
dental death.

The arrival here Of William c. Bull
lit, first Ambassador to Soviet Russia,
yesterday for talks with Secretary Hull
and other State Department officials
gave rise to speculation over the out
come Of the Russo-American claims
deadlock.
The Ambassador declined to make
any statement concerning Soviet
American relations. He said he had
no urgent matters to lay before Presi-

had returned chiefly to spend the
holidays with relatives in Philadelphia.
Negotiations Underway.
Negotiations for debt settlement,
involving claims and counter-claims
arising out Of incidents in World War
days, are in the hands of Alexander
Troyanovsky, the Soviet Ambassador
here, and Secretary Hull and Assistant
Secretary Moore.
Bullitt left Moscow two days before
Troyanovsky arrived there.
The negotiations for debt settle
ment were stalemated six weeks ago
when the United States fatty refused
to grant the Soviet credits and a cash
loan, understood to be for 5000, ,o00, 900,
as an integral part Of the settlement.
Troyanovsky In Russia.
Troyanovsky returned to Moscow at
that time for a discussion of the entire
question with Stain and other mem

He is due back in Washington in

bringing a revised Soviet proposal on
which it is hoped an agreement may
be reached.

If the 5000 per diem employees
Of the District Government take a
half holiday on the afternoons pre-
ceding Christmas and New Year they
will do so at the loss of their pay.
Protests that they are not given
the same treatment as per diem en-

men for District per diem workers.
They also lost the extra half holiday
preceding Thanksgiving day.
While the annual employees Of the
District will be let OF for the extra

Controller Gen. McCarl apparently
block an extension of this to the
District per diem workers.
On the other hand, employees Of the
Government Printing Office and the

To correct this situation a bill was

After many years Joyce sold to
H. B. Holtzclaw who promptly put the

Parker bought out Holtzclaw and

But the figure again was doomed to
insignificance. Seven years ago
Parker sold out and kept nothing but
the Indian, which he stored in the

The Indian is in fine condition
after years Of submission to the raw
ages of weather, wear and tear, and

NEW c. O.P. TALK
HIT BY JOHNSON
People Rather Than Individ-
uaIS Do Reorganizing,
Says Senator.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
California's fiery Republican inde-
pendent-Senator Hiram Johnson
returned to his old debating ground
yesterday with feeling that the peo-
pie generally. rather than a few in
dividuals, would reorganize the Re-
publican party If there was something
left" to reorganize.
"It is fine thing to reorganize," !"
he said in response to questions, "but
you must have something to reorgan-
ize."
johnson, strong supporter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, spoke of the time %
years ago when he and Theodore
Roosevelt attempted to hberalize the
party with the Bull Moose ticket.
1--WE tried to reform the Republican
party years ago." he said. ''Ths peo-
pie today are changing the parties.
We have gone by the old system. No
vember was a Roosevelt victory. It
was Roosevelt victory because he
had the daring to do something"
johnson said he had heard reform
of political parties preached latter
every election day."
But you don't hear so much about
it before an election" he observed.
He added that 1--WE so-called Pro-
gressives are far behind the pace being
set by the people"
"The platform Of the Progressive
party in 1912 was considered radical"
he said, "but considered in the light
of present developments it is an
anachronism."
Speaking of the Upton Sinclair race
in California, johnson said it showed
the people "have gone far beyond
the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment"
"The people," he said, "have an
idea of what they want, but they are
confused as to how to get it and they
will brook no opposition"
johnson spoke highly of Senator
Cutting, New Mexico Republican, who
left his party in 1882 to support
Roosevelt.
II think he is one of the big men
in the Senate" he said.
"I rejoiced in his victory and I
hope he will be back here with us"
Cuttings Democratic opponent,
Dennis Chavez, is seeking to prevent
Cuttings election being certified to
Washington. Some of Cuttings friends
are trying to find out whether Chavez
has the encouragement of high Demo-
cratic leaders here, as has been ru-
mored, in his fight.

Goes L0wer

NEW YORK, July FL N.N.S.).
The possibility of gold ship
mentS from France to this
country became even greater
today as the franc slid down
another quarter point to 6.5SA
cents. Compared with the
theoretical gold point Of $50
cents, at tOday'S level a slight
profit is possible.
The weakness of the past few
days in the franc is due chiefly
to the new cabinet crisis in
that country, where it is felt
that should the DOumergue gov
ernment fall, Seven-eighths de-
valuation would be inevitable.
Another factor is the increaS-
ing expenditures for public
works which threw the already
unbalanced French budget fur
ther out of line with receipts.

1t is one OF the Oldest problems OF
this depression, and of most other
depreSSionS. But it has not been
solved, and it will not down.
We stall it off temporarily by
another shot of government
spending or initiation, which we
foolishly call creating purchas-
ing power" Then we are again
brought face to face with the
facts, and we find the surplus
there.
Must Find Use
My correspondent refers to "get-
ting rid" of the surplus. So, first,
I ask: Why not destroy it?
But we can't destroy labor. It
is difficult to destroy land. We
don't want to destroy machinery
or useful products. So 1t seems
to me that our problem is to use
our surplus-to find a useful a7-
plication of stocks of goods and
excess capacity. The problem is
allow our plenty to afford a more
abundant life.
i lac d11SWCX 10 40 4O14OWos
/. Encourage the use or con-
sumption of all sorts of desirable
products.
This we can do (a) by facilitat-
ing price establishments, and (b)
by restoring confidence.
We can allow prices to return
to an adjustment which will en-
courage trade and let people buy
more. This we can do by break
ing up monopoly, and by stopping
the practice of Government loans
to hold surplus stocks off the
market. We can quit artificial
schemes of price boosting.
We can restore confidence by
returning to sound money, and
by taking the government (poli-
tics) out Of business. It is most
important the private lenders be
given assurance that debts will
be honestly repaid.
Lower Prices
In many cases, lower prices
would enable people to buy more
goods, and use them more abun-
dainty or hold them for invest
ment.
We can develop new uses for
goods and productive capacity.
This would be encouraged by re-
storing confidence as suggested
above. Reasonable certainty and
stability, and reasonable freedom
for individual initiative have al
ways found the way.
3. We can develop foreign mar
kets bv encouraging world trade.
To this end, the first thing to
do would be to allow prices to be-
come adjusted to the world level,
so that international trade would
be advantageous. It would also
be necessary to break down many
trade barriers in the shape of un-
reasonable tariffs and import
quotas. Debts would have to be
adjusted. Then the leading ma
tions could return to the gold
standard.
u. S. Can Lead
The United States would play a
part in leading the way out of the
narrow nationalism which. is now
strangling trade, and incidentally
is depriving our farmers of mar
ketS.
The world has not scratched
the surface of what can be &C.
complished by allowing each Sec
ton to specialize in what it can
produce most cheaply, and allow
ing each to trade with the other
freely.
4. AS to excess capacity, we
should allow competition and the
quest for profits to work, so as to
eliminate the least plants and
farms.
We can win. But there is no
way to beat the game.
