"A couple of weeks later this family
returned the visit and again had to
play with the half-wit.
GOOD heavens l thought, will I
always have to be with half -witS?'"
Morgenthau Hides Plans.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau is
handling his financing in a shrewd
way. Instead of waiting until he
needs the money, he is feeding out
his new securities on time schedule.
1t calls for issuance Of about a
billion dollars a month until the end
of the fiscal year.
Under that system, Morgenthau
always is ahead of the game and no
one knows exactly what his need for
will be boosted slightly on the next
issue.
WOodring Views Spread.
The statement of Assistant War
Secretary Woodring which drew the
wrath of the White House upon his
head was:
I'VE do not desire to make soldiers
out of the C. C. c. boys against their
will. but we do desire to help direct
and develop this great experiment in
long range social economics and in
physical training.
"It the Army mere so directed,
it could organize the ueterdns of
the World War. the C. c. C. men,
and through them the emergency
...fA n{
storm troops that could support
the Governments efforts to smash
the depression"
That sort of talk has been going
around on the inside for some time.
It is quite possible something along
that line might be attempted If the
need for it should develop. Certainly
there is no need for it now, and there
may never be-.
Permanent Relief Sought.
Legislators are talking about until
mate reorganizatio of the c. w. A.
c. c. c. and other relief agencies on
permanent lines to care for the one
to two million men who are normally
out Of work, even in good times.
They are assuming that Mr.. Roose-
velt will not hand the relief problem
back to those community agencies
which handled 1t before the existing
emergency.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made no decision
about that.
Lawyers say Col. Lindbergh was
100 per cent wrong In asserting the
Government had no right to cancel
all the airmail contracts They say
any contract can be Cancelled on the
mere suspicion of fraud. The smart
boys are eager to see whether the
airmail companies will go into court
to. stop the President. II they do not.

Retirement of Peek
Seen in Dispute
Over Loans
BY PAUL MALLON.

THERE was a rather serious row
in the inner circle about the
Export Import Bank matter.
1t may lead to the retire
ment of George Peek as presi.
Dental adviser on foreign trade.
Apparently Mr.. Peek sold Mr..
Roosevelt the scheme for making the
bank a great credit pool, lending
money to foreign nations to buy our
goods. The Hull-Roper faction OBJ
jected strenuously. They want to
promote foreign trade through tariff
bargaining
Because of their objections, Mr.
Roosevelt recalled his executive order
creating the bank and radically lin
ited its field of operations. He gave
it only $l1000,000 instead of $780,
100000 and decreed it should extend
credit only to Russia.
Opposes General Landing.
The Hull crowd is whispering the
word around that Mr.. Roosevelt will
keep the bank confined to Russia
They assert the President is definitely
against the general policy of lending
more money abroad for any purpose
He regards the Russian situation as
exceptional.

Jones Employs Humor.

Jesse Jones has a peculiar technique
for handling the business giants with
whom he does business through the
r. F. c.
Recently he called a conference of
the heads of all companies in one of
the largest industries. One of the
companies wanted a loan from the
r. F. C. to save it from bankruptcy
Jones did not want to make the loan,
but he wanted to save the company.
When he got the industrialists
around table, Jones started off the
conference by saying:
When ! wdS a little boy, the dog
OF one OF my pldymdteS died. The
boy felt dtDtully bad about ii and
De fUdnted to do something tor

began:

.L|NDBERGH STAND
BACKED BY FISH.
Representative Seeks to
Have AirmaiI Protest
Put in Record.

Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York. still is determined to in
sert the Lindbergh airmail cancella-
ton protest in the Congressional Rec
ord.
He said last night he would renew
his attempt next week to obtain unani-
nous consent to make the insertion.
The telegram from Col. Lindbergh to
President Roosevelt was placed in the
Senate section of the Record Monday
Minnesota.
Sees No DiscOurtesy.
At the same time, Fish challenged
q statement that Lindbergh had been
discourteous to the President in MAX
ing the telegram public before it was
received by the Chief Executive.
Fish limited he suspected partiality
had been shown in the cancellation
of contracts. He said lit may be of
interest to the American people to
know that the Pan American Airways,
which is the only big airmail contract
that was not Cancelled. is headed by
Whitney" The Whitney referred to
is Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. who
ran for Congress in 1882 on the Demo-
cratic ticket
The New Yorker said he had
learned that Lindberghs telegram
was given to a messenger in New
York City at BIS o'clock Sunday
night. and should have reached the
White House not later than $50
o'clock that same evening"
"Of course" Fish said. Col Lind
bergh was entitled to release his tele-
gram for Monday morning news
papers. 1t was not the fault of Col.
Lindbergh if his telegram was not
delivered to the President by White
House employees until the next morn
ing. The airmail contractors first
learned of the cancellation of their
contracts through the press. It is
absolutely inconceivable that POST
master General Farley Cancelled the
airmail contracts without the sanction
of the President"
S7,OOO,OOO Contract.
Fish said Pan-American Airways,
Inc. and the Pan-American Grace
Airways. a subsidiary company, whose
contracts were not annulled, received
S7O00.000 from the Government in
1888 and the same amount is car
ried in the pending Treasury and
Post ONCE appropriation bill"
He added he had no reason to be-
feve that the Pan-American is any
better operated or more honestly con-
Quoted than the Transcontinental
and Western Air, Inc, with which
Col. Lindbergh has been connected" !"

MAN ADMITS

MT. VERNON, N. Y. Oct. Is
G.N.S0.-A 24-year-old relic
worker, Lawrence Stone, signed a
confession in police headquarters
here early today that he murdered
pretty Nancy Kean Costigan, 5
years old, in the basement of the
fashionable Pel-HutchinSon Apart
ments and cremated her body in
the oil furnace of the building to
destroy all traces of his crime.
Stones confession, according to
Chief Inspector Michael I. Silver
stein of the Mt. Vernon police,
solves one of the most brutal and
fiendish crimes in police annals.
The confession was signed
shortly before 4 a. m. today after
Stone had been grilled continu'

Inspector Silverstein told re-

was paying a weekend visit to her
aunt, who lives in the apartment
house, was brutally assaulted in
the cellar of the building, beaten
over the head and then thrown,
probably alive, into the roaring
oil furnace.
