Despite disappointing forays into

the belief that a solution was

weeks ago for $4,000 ransom.

Sheriff White had said Sun
day that June is alive" but
hopes for speedy recovery of
the little girl, if she still is alive,
were dashed by announcement of
other officers who had gone into
Mexico that they were without
any definite clues.
Sheriff White refused to dis.
cuss his latest mysterious excur.
sion, which took him to several
towns in Mexico, other than to
say that no arrests had been
made and that he plann e d

HEARINGS END

Having concluded hearings on
the District supply bill, the Sen
ate District Appropriations sub
committee will meet tomorrow to
begin marking up the bill, with a
view to presenting it to the Sen
ate at the end of this week or
early next week.
From all sources the indication
comes that the local Government
will receive much friendlier treat

given by the House.
Those close to the committee
say with apparent assurance that
the Federal Government lump

placed higher by the committee.

How the procedure of District
Committee affairs impresseS those
who are concerned with District
legislation is revealed in a state
ment by Claude Babcock, presi
dent of the American Federation
Of Government Employees, to mem
bers of that organization.
His views support strongly the
position taken by The Washington
Times that the present relation
ship between Congress and the
District government, even with
the most earnest and conscientious
effort by all concerned, is difficult
and cumbersome at best.
Inefficient System Barred
Speaking of recent appearance
at the Capitol, he said in his
statement:
81 thought I was going to ap-
pear before a Senate committee
and so spent a couple of hours
waiting for my turn. My turn
didn't come but this time GER
tainly wasn't wasted. Down
there, there were 40 or so good
solid Washington people wait
ing to be heard on some subject
or other basically affecting the
welfare of Washington and its
citizens. AS these people came
in and waited and waited, it
was perfectly obvious that they
were of the best. People will

and, without recompense, de-

good, waited, and waited, and

6 WOMEN SEEK
REELECTION
To HOUSE
Rep. Virginia Jenckes First to
Face Test at Polls; Rep.
Clarke May Not Run

The race to increase or main.
tain the size of the feminine bloc
in the United States Congress en-.
tered it's first lap today.
With all but one of the seven
women members Of the House Of
Representatives candidates for
reelection to the Seventy-fourth
Congress, one of the newest Of the
feminine bloc today faced the
gruelling test of the primaries in
her State.
Ran AS "Wet"
She is Representative Virginia
Ellis Jenckes CD, of Indiana, of
whom it is said the greatest rea-
son for her election to the present
Congress was the fact that she
was announced "wet" at the time
repeal was still in the offing, and
her opponent, a Republican, was
a recognized "dry."
OF the six remaining women
members Of the House, only Rep
resentative Marian W. Clarke (R)
Of New York, has failed to indi-
cate whether she will be candi-
date for reelection. Mrs. Clarke
was elected at a special election
last December to succeed her hus-
band, the late John D. Clarke.
All the other members of the
feminine bloc have a pretty good
chance for reelection.
Representative Isabella Green
way, a Democrat and the only
member of the House from Ari-
zona, has strengthened her posi-
ton with her constituents, having
voted consistently in support Of
their needs.
Representative Rogers in Race
Although Representative Edith
NourSe Rogers (R0, of Massa-
chusetts has not announced her
candidacy, it is generally under
stood she will run again, and it
is pretty certain she will be re-
elected.
Representative Florence Kahn
(R0, Of California, known as the
grand old lady Of the House, also
has served since the Sixty-ninth
Congress and is very strong in
her district, as is Representative
Mary T. Norton CD, Of New Jer.
sey, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee.

of the House, but her chances for

LITTLE FELLOW
PUT ON SPOT
BY CHAINS
Vice Chairman of Authority
Admits Using Situation
To Link 80 Stores
By JOSEPH HARRINGTON

By JOSEPH HARRINGTON
NEW YORK, May 8.-Ten days
ago, on the strength Of the
story of a little New Jersey
tailor who was convicted Of
violating the NRA code price, the
Evening Journal, Hearst news
paper, began a study Of the
enforcement Of that code in New
York city. It found an incredible
situation existing here.
It found that the cry was
"crack down." That nearly 200
tailors had been summoned for
violating the code. That a few
had received suspended Jail SEN
tences, a few had been fined.
That the men pressing the prose
cution were concerned because
the courts were "too lenient"
with these fellows.
Vice Chairman Involved
It found next-and this was
the beginning of a series Of
shocking discoveries-that Aaron
Silverstein, vice chairman Of the
local cleaning and dyeing code
authority, the group which was
cracking down" on cut-rate
tailorS, was himself running q
series of cut-rate cleaning and
dyeing establishments in Queens.
He was not among the 200
summoned.
It found that the enforcement
OF the code had fallen into the
hands-not of impartial enforcerS
but into the hands of trade
associations. 1t discovered indi.
cations-very strong indications,
1ndeed-that the associations
were using their newly seized
power to drive dueS-paying mem
bers into their own organizations.
Small Tailors Caught
Ir found the 10000 small tailors
of New York city caught between
two crushing attacks. On one
hand, tEl associations were issuing
summons for failure to live up to
the code prices. On the other
hand, some of the chain stores,
with the financial backing to pro.
test against arbitrary price.fixing,
had protested with at least partial
success.
In a word, then, the small tai.
lorS, most of them impoverished,
could not charge below code
prices, but some of the chain
stores could. This was driving
hundreds to bankruptcy and ruin.
Blue Eagle or no, the public was
taking its garments to the places
where they could have excellent
work done at the lowest price.
In the last few of those 10 days,
when it became known that the
Journal was planning to question
these acts, the scene changed
rapidly.
Tune Changes Suddenly
The men who boasted to Jour.
nal reporters of cracking down."
who talked of how they were
going to induce judges to be more

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR
ADDRESSES STUDENTS
Tells Of Fascist Activities at
Convocation at American
University.

University students have become a
vital force in the Fascist party in
Italy, Ambassador Augusta Rosso Of
Italy told students of American Uni
versity yesterday.
Speaking before student convo-
cation at Hurst Hall, Ambassador
Rosso described how several univer-
sity organizations in Italy gradually
have become merged into a single
Fascist unit known as Groups Of Uni
versity Fascists. With the growth of
this intellectual organization, he said,
fascism lost some of its purely po-
litical character and became more
truly representative of a new trend Of
Italian life.
Membership in this student group
has increased from less than 10000 in
1927 to more than $1,000 now, he
said. Membership carries many priv
ileges and interests of the groups
range through athletics. science. the
arts and all other elements of normal
Italian life and culture, he said.
Partly as a result of this variety Of
interests. the Ambassador said that
Italian universities have begun to fol-
low the American and English prac-
tice of giving increased consideration
to extracurricular activities.
