MIRA. AMATEURS
Praises Presidents Good

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DULUTH. MINI. July lama
teurs, said Clarence Darrow today, are
at the head of the recovery admins
tration.
Unfortunately President Roose-
welt did not call around him men eX-
perienced in craftsmanship, the
world known counsel for the defense
told the Minnesota Bar Association.
Il won't mention whom he put at
the head of the N r. A, p" he said, Il
can't remember his name. l heard he
is a military man-not a statesman" "
Resuming his long and stormy
controversy with Gen. Hugh S. john
son which produced three bristling re-
ports from the N R. A. Review Board
he headed, Darrow did not mention
the recovery administration chief by
name.
The Chicago lawyer said that no.
body in charge of affairs is Schooled
in political economy. nothing but
amateurs" and suggested that If We
are going to get prosperity by raising
prices and causing scarcity why not
pass a universal bankruptcy law to
get rid of all debts"
Lauds Roosevelt Effort.
President Roosevelt at his inaugu-
ration, he added, promised a people, S
administration that he would do his
very best and there is no doubt that
he has tried
THE whole N. r. A program was
based on two things" he said, make
prices high and cause scarcity. How
would they do it?
Kill little pigs and throw them
out on the prairies to decay while
millions are hungry?
"A study of political economy re-
veals that scarcity is undesirable
that paying farmers not to work, to
cut crops, to boost prices is nonsense
President Roosevelt said that if
he did not hit right the first time he
would try again To some people it
sounded good. But not to me. 1t
is better to thoroughly study plan
before executing it. Roosevelt was
not a political economist. The men
around him were not men OF VIDE
reading and experience.
Good Faith" Evident.
I'VE can give them credit for good
intentions whether they deserve it or
not. Somebody suggested to Roose-
Welt the N. r. A.-and he took it.
There has been plenty of money used
if not wasted. l have no doubt of
Roosevelt's good faith.
We have solved the question of
production. We can make every one
rich If some are not too greedy. We
must learn to get fairer diStribu-
ton of wealth. We don't want less
we want more.
The problem is not overproduc-
ton, it is underconSumption"

"crack down" on States which

money for relief of the unem-
ployed.
Mr.. Hopkins and Gov. Clifford
Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, today

needy would be provided.
Mr.. Hopkins said negotiations
were proceeding rapidly with the
expectation that decision on
the Pennsylvania situation would
be reached soon.
The governor declined to say
anything more than that a plan
was being considered. He also
declined to say whether he would
be a candidate for the Senate.
Within a short time Mr.. Hop
kinS will have before him a sur
vey of the capacity of States to

DR.. LANG WEDS
PLAYS STAR

Mary Magdalen" today was
lost to the cast of the famous
Oberammergau Passion Play.
For Klara Mayr, the girl who
has played the part of the Mag
dalen, today was married to DR..
Anton Lang, jr., of Washington,
son of Anton Lang, who for many
years has essayed the role of
Christ in the play.
The marriage was solemnized
in the Bavarian city, and the
young couple will soon return to
Washington, where DR.. Lang is a
member of the faculty at George
town University.
Under the strict rules which
govern the Passion Play, the role
of the Magdalen must be played
by an unmarried girl, so Miss
Mayr has withdrawn from the
cast.
DR.. Lang was educated at Holy
Cross University in Massachusetts,,
and took his Ph.D. at Georgetown
in 1882, being named to the fac

SPEEDY THUGS
|. IN Z HOLDUPS

Washington police have been
asked to aid in the search for
two sWift-moving gunmen who
early today executed two holdups
nearly so miles apart within an
hour.
Driving an automobile bearing
D. C. license tags, the two thugs
staged their first holdup in Balti-
more when they boarded a stand
in street car at line end and
robbed the conductor Of $14.
This robbery was staged at 3
o'clock.
Shortly after the same car was
used by two men answering the
same description who held up a
gasoline service station at Wash
ington Street and Mt. Vernon
Avenue, Alexandria. The operator
was forced at gun point to turn
over the days receipts, totallng
approximately $25.
Police who checked the license
number of the car found it was
the property of Benjamin Oscar,
of the $500 block Holmead ST..
N. w. It was found to have been
stolen from in front of the Oscar
home few hours previous to
the Baltimore holdup.

States, no matter in what form,
is comparable with walking on the
Stars and Stripes, which are also
shown in low relief on the breast
of the eagle.
Not all the visitors walk over
this patriotic emblem, according
to White House guards, but look
at it attentively and walk around
it. Since the Executive Offices
are being rebuilt, and Captain
Dalrymple has taken up his post
at the White House, he has had
a long table placed over the seal,
preventing it from being walked
on and defaced.
It often has been suggested that
the seal be placed in the panel
over the door of the Blue Room,
where it could be seen to ad-
vantage and add a touch of color
full effect.

Stifled yawns and sleepy eyes
were the only bits of evidence
today that the hundreds of en-

a moonlight excursion down the
Potomac River.
The employees were the guests
of Harvey c. Couch, who is re-

The excursion was originally
intended as a get-together for
the Arkansas State Society, who
were anxious to pay a final
tribute to their retiring fellow

But when Mr.. Couch got wind
of the plans he invited not
only members of the society but
every employe of the RFC.

regard as "sacrilege" in having a

President in an enlarged form,
carried out in brightly FURNISHED

The seal, which shows in the
center the American eagle with
outspread wings holding in its tai

and a branch of laurel leaves,
measures two feet and a half in

This symbol of this country has

Says:

From the smooth way those
New York gangsters robbed an
armored truck in front of an
ice company, it looks like an
ice plant is the easiest place to
get "cold cash.
Police believe that the job
was planned by an ex-Army
officer. They may be wrong,
but if they catch him, he'll
win his stripes" anyway.
Even the New York politi-
clans are interested in the

PWA ALABORERS |
7 D DEMAND
PAY RAISE
Organization Serves Notice
That 60-Cent Scale Must
Rule In Future

Building laborers, through their
business agent, Larry Kelly, today
served notice on all Government
offices and all builders asSocia-
tons that laborers on all PWA
jobs from September 10 on must
receive go cents an hour instead
of As cents, which Mr.. Kelly
claims lis not fair and just
living wage"
In the notification handed to
the Board of District Commits
sioners today, Mr.. Kelley said:
"This is your notification that
this organization will refuse to
let any of its members work on
any project in which the con-
tract is let after September 10
for less than the rate of so
cents per hour. We have tried
repeatedly and unSucceSSfully to
have the different contractors
associations form an agreement
with us; therefore we are forced
to take this STEP"
Jobs Affected
The demand of the building
laborers will not affect projects
which are now going on, but it
will affect the $8,O00,000 sewerage
disposal plant which is to be
built with PWA money; and also
the new additional building for
the Interior Department at
Eighteenth and D Streets North
west.
Proposed work on the super
structure for the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue Building and the
Congressional Library Building
and the new tuberculosis Hos
pital at Glenn Dale will also be
affected.
Ickes Aid Asked
Mr.. Kelly made a special plea
to Secretary Ickes, offering to
prove that As cents an hour is
not living wage. He said:
"In a large percentage of
cases the labOrers on PWA prof.
ectS in this district do not aver
age over $40 per week, so nat
urally these labOrers must go
to relief agencies to obtain ad-
ditionaI funds"

Of the most engaging villains
in history-providing you didn't

The PWA itself supplies in
formation about its plans and
says with natural dignity:
A recent recommendation by
the National Park Service that
historic landmarks in the Vir-
gin Islands should be restored
and preserved will be followed
in the development of Bluebeard
Castle Hotel, overlooking the
magnificent harbor Of st.
Thomas.
"The quaint architecture OF
this ancient fortress, reputed to
have been the home of the plr-
ate Bluebeard, lends a diStinc-
tive charm to the modern Struc'
ture now nearing completion on
the crest of a 54-acre tract OF
Government land. The hotel is
being constructed under a PWA
allotment. It will be operated by
the Virgin Islands Company.
Built more than $50 years
ago, the tower stands today in
excellent condition. Its walls of
solid masonry are approximate
ly five feet thick. It's deeply re-
cessed windows, from which
squat-barreled cannon bristled
in the days of the privateers.
now serve as excellent points Of
Vantage from which to view the
island and the town.
1.-THE tower will be preserved
as a landmark exactly as it
stands. It's three spacious rooms
located one above the other and
connected by a spiral stairway
will be decorated and furnished
in character"
And, concludes PWA naively:
Ample historical evidence ex-
lists that at the time when Blue
beard Castle was built, and dur
ing the decades Immediately
following, some of the most
famous of flesh and blood pi-
rates used st. Thomas as an op-
Grating base or a haven of ref
uge.

pointed gentlemen, once over
eager for a thick slice of PWA
