 Views of Administration
BY FRED MYERS


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Nov. l4.-CUP).-In an address said to have had approval of President Roosevelt, Secretary of Commerce Roper told business men last night that the adminis- tration's legislative reforms are completed and the breathing spell" MT. Roosevelt promised two months ago is permanent.
 Roper spoke at the annual con- vention dinner of the Associated Grocery Manufacturers of America. When he had concluded, Vice-Presl- dent Clarence Francis of General Foods corporation, toastmaster, said:
 V"I get the very distinct impress sion that business is going to get a break. More power to you, MT. Roper. You have the cooperation Of this industry"
 Commerce To Get Aid
 The commerce secretary said the profit system is to receive all the administration aid that can be giv- en and he assured big business that 1t is not to be penalized for big ness. He recalled President Roose- velt's recent corresponce with Roy W. Howard of the Scripps- Howard newspapers, promising 8 breath ing spell" in reform legislation. | frY.aso ~,,l,A iyatA~,ANotoI ftn YNINro a to mean that new upheavals would begin again with 8 new congress were mis-reading the presidents words, Roper said.
 Tt will be recalled that the let ter addressed by Roy Howard to the chief executive" Roper said, be came the subject of much newspa- per discourse and comment. There were those who stated that the breathing spell" literally meant only a brief cessation of govern mental restriction and regulation.
 Must Allay Fears
 "In his letter Mir. Howard said:' There can be no real recovery until the fears of business have DCSll dlldyCQ siAOuSit WiS SiniAoha6 of a breathing spell to industry Please keep in mind that MT. How ard, and not the president, first used the worlds, breathing spell and in this light let me now read the presidents words:
 !" This administration came into power pledged to very consider able legislative program. It seemed to congress and to me bet ter to achieve these objectives as expeditiously as possible in order that not only business but the pub lie generally might know those mo- difications in the conditions and rules of economic enterprise whifs, were involved in our program. This basic program, however, has now reached substantial completion and the breathing spell" of which you speak is here-very decidedly so.' |"
 This declaration is clear cut and concrete" Roper said. Tt means that business no longer needs to fell any uncertainty

SHIP OFFICERS WERE EDWARDS
Widows, Orphans, Hus- bands of Moro Castle
 Dead Make Accusations
By GEORGE H. BEALE

NA4AM4NNMN ANA4AAA@NN United Press Stan COrresnOndentl
 New York, Nov. 14-(UP)--Wid- Dws, orphans and husbands of lSe persons lost when the liner Morro |Castle burned in 1884, joined gov- ernment attorneys today in accus- ing the ships officers ot cowardice hnd criminal negligence.
 Federal District Attorney Francis Wv. H. Adams called more than a Bcore of survivors and relatives of victims to begin testimony against two officers of the ship and an exc cIitive of the operating company.
 The defendants are William E. Warns, acting captain Of the Moro CastIe on the night it burned off Asbury Park, N. J.; Chief Engineer Eben s. Abbott, and Henry p. Ca- baud, executive vice president of the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship company, parent cor11- pat1y of the Ward line.
 Filled Court Room
 While black garbed widows, sol- emn children and men with black Arm bands filled a federal court room yesterday, Adams described Captain Warns as manager of a boating night club" said the chief engineer was "hopping into boats" when he should have been in his engine room, and accused Cabaud bf sending the Moro Castle to sea with a. ineficient and inadequate brew.
 If convicted, each man may be lined $1O,00O and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
 The prosecutor stood beside a oite-foot model of the destroyed iner and pointed to 1t often while he recalled for the jury the details bf the most spectacular sea disaster bf recent years. He said he would prove that when there came a general rush for lifeboats 80 merr- bers of the crew of 231 found places, but only 6 of 318 passengers were fortunate.
 T don't mean to say that all members of the crew were cow Ards," he said, but for the most part they seemed to be interested t n getting away from the vessel" :"
 Chief Engineer Hit
 He struck particularly at Abbott. ] 3hp chief enpineer.
 "He stayed on deck" Adams as- Berted. He didn't even launch a |ifeboat. He just got over int one. rhen he got out of one boat and nto another because he thought 1t might lnve sooner"
 He said Warns maneuvered his thip so clumsily that the flaming bow was run into the wind, sweep m fire back over the decks, and thArged that the crew was unor- yaiized for emergencies and so consistently overwcrked that il ivoided fire drills.
 George 2. Medalie, former federal attorney, said for the defendants inst they were being prosecuted by seNond guessers" who in such ein- urgency as they met would have ione much worse.

FRENCH DEBIT TO
 BE LEFT UNPAID
President of Senate F1r- eign Affairs of France
 Had Made Statement

Paris, Nov. 14-(UP-Sen. Henry BerenEer, president of the senate foreign affairs commission, said in a speech today that he doubted if inter-gbvernmental debts - incliid- ing the French debt to the United States ever would be revived. "The debts all fell into catalepsy more profound than death," Berenger said, addressing the American club, land the miracle that would TO- suscitate them is not in sight. Hu- rianity has continued to live with out these obligations, and nothing can prevail on the forces of the fu- ture, which desire to be freed from the chains of the past.
 Nobody Wants to Pay
 "What is the good of insisting on payments that nobody wants to make? What is the use of scribblihg new nonsense about an agreelnent2 There certainly will be experts to elaborate ( new plan and diplomats to write their texts. But where will you find the people to pay them?p Berenger expressed belief that the United States government wanted definitely to close the war ledger when 1t suggested the suspension of inter governmental debts = the Hoover debt moratorium.
 Thankful for Liberation
 May they (the government be thanked for this liberating ges- ture,' said BerenEer. Berenger praised President Rposevelt's neu- trality stand in the present crisis and commented: President Roose- welt feared he would extend the war if he acted as a judge or policeman, That is an example of common sense and irapartiality which would merit the thought of Geneva"

The high school reg istration Dr. Condon estimates will remain about the same as last year approximately 4,00O. Parochial schools will register about 4,000 more students.
 Principals Ready
 With the announcement by the board of health that schools would be allowed to open Monday morn- ing, first day programs were re- leased today by Principals JoseRh P. Kennedy of Wilby and Harrison S. Allen of Leavenworth; and Louis J. Thibodeau of Crosby.
 Originally scheduled to open the Tuesday following Labor Day, pre- valence of infantile paralysis in the city enforced the lengthy postpone mcnt. It will be necessary for pr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, to revise the yearly schedule in order to include the 18O school days required under state law. Dr. Condon has not yet worked out a new program but 1t is probable that the additional days will be made up at the end of the regular schedule next June.

BURNS SINKING; MAY
NOT LIVE OUT DAY
Attack Victim Near Death at
Hospital.

Jerome Burns, 65-year- old wealthy
landowner, who was mysteriously
attacked in his suburban home late
Tuesday, suffered a relapse at the
Methodist Hospital this afternoon
and may not live out the day, physi-
clans stated.
DR.. John Salb, personal physi-
clan to Mr. Burns as we'll as dep
uty coroner in charge of the case,
said he believed an abscess of the
brain had developed from the
wound inflicted with a .32-caliber
bullet.
AS this developed, deputy sheriffs
made a meticulous research of the
Burns home, 1926 w. Morris-st, and
effects, in a renewed effort to find
some explanation of the attack and
the simultaneous disappearance OF
Mrs. Burns, the 55-year-old invalid
wife of the victim.
No trace of Mrs Burns has been
reported since her husband, wound
ed and half conscious, was found in
the home and unable to explain the
attack. Since then he has been
unable to give police any details
of the attack.
