Just what is a planned economy
Everybody is talking about that
now
For or against it.
Mr.. Ogden Mills is against it
That is-against "a planned and di-
rected national economy"
He says it is destructive
Of the most fundamental principles
Upon which the American system
rests"
Now-do you suppose
That is what was the matter
With the American riff-for-p -protec-
tion system?
Mr.. Ogden Mills seems to imply
That this country has not had "plan-
ned and directed national econ
omy."
He is right
If he means it was not planned and
directed
For the national good;
Or for the greatest good Of the great
est number;
Or that the people had no voice in
the planning and directing;
Or even-that the people had no sus
picion that there was such thing.
There was our income tax system
1t constituted fright smart" part
OF our governmental economy.
Is Mr.. Ogden Mills meaning to tell us
That the multimillionaire friends of
his
Who sidestepped income taxes by the
millions of dollars
While he was assistant to the Sec
retary Of the Treasury
Were not planning and directing"
That part of the national economy?
If that is what he means
May we suggest that he tell his
meaning
To that part Of our national economy
Known as the marines!
The record shows that American
Reached their highest point
Both in rate per hour and in total
wages paid
In the year nineteen hundred twenty.
In nineteen hundred twenty-one and
twenty-five
The "battle for the Open Shop" was
fought.
Wages were hammered down so far
That they have never again reached
that level.
Does Mr.. Mills mean to imply
That this process was not part of a
planned and directed economy?"
If that is what he means
May we suggest that he tell it to his
friend, Mr.. Norman Montague
The Britisher won't see any joke in it
either.
In those ten years following
The Cash Dividends Paid to corpora

Jumped from four billions to eight
billions per annum-
They also held up to that figure for

M|CHAUX SUED
FOR $4,000

Elder Lightfoot Michaux, 100
block R st. N. w., the "happy-am-
I" radio preacher, was sued for
$4,000 in District Supreme Court
today on a charge of ejecting w.
Heman Lucas, 1400 block Irving
st. N. E., from a meeting in the
Garnet Patterson Junior High
School last February 6.
Mr.. Lucas declared that he was
attending a meeting of the Indus
trial Savings Bank depositors' COM
mittee and was defending himself
from verbal attack when Elder
Michaux left the speakers ros-
trum, assaulted him, and forced
him to leave the auditorium.
The alteration resulted, Mr..
Lucas said, because, owing to the
latenesS of the hour, the plaintiff
objected to lengthy prayer and
insisted that the depositors be
heard instead Of numerous guest
speakers.
The suit was filed through At
torney Ernest C. Dickson.

Two female timber wolves, de-
scribed as "fine specimens" both
of whom were expecting "blessed
events" scratched holes in the
wire of their Geological Park
cages before dawn today and es-
caped into Rock Creek Park.
A little after o'clock, while
Connecticut Avenue roared with
office-bound traffic, Frank Iowa

two wayward wolves in the woods
near Connecticut Avenue and
Woodley Road.
Knowing there was no chance
of capturing them. Mr.. Lowe shot
and killed both. Two males con-
fined in the same cage slept peace
fully through the escape. The
wolves were bred in captivity and
were looked upon by biologists as
almost perfect specimens of tim
ber wolves.
Zoos Second Escape
The escape of the wolves was
the second incident of the kind
in the history of the Zoo.

not believe the two wolves shot
today would have attacked any
one. They would have been' ne

that the unidentified girl

speeding automobile was found
by police and surgeons today.
An autopsy was performed at
the University of Virginia Hos

. They pointed out, however, that
the girl undoubtedly had been
knocked unconscious by blows on
the face previous to being thrown
from the automobile as they
found severe bruises on her face
opposite and below the skull frac-
ture.
No alcohol was found in the
stomach, the surgeons said. They
have begun a minute examina-

Battling to investigators was
the fact that her left shoe was

right shoe was not so badly
damaged.

charged today before the Senate
Education and Labor Committee.
He said:
"Mr. Green has power to ex.
pei labor leaders hostile to him,
but he has done nothing to pre-

suit has been gang murders and
assaults and racketeering."

John H. Gray, director Of the

increase in pay could go back
to the time when the first
protest was made; or If hours
were shortened, the men would
be paid for back hours.
Nobody would be hurt much,
and the labor leaders and the

do now in the newspapers. Yet
nobody would have to keep idle
