SHOW DRIFT TO LEFT
Communist Party Gains in Paris
but Moderate Majority Vir-

BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May ia slight drift to-
ward the left was disclosed today by
the returns from yesterdays munich
pal elections, in which the Commun-
lists profited at the expense of the
Socialists.
The Paris Municipal Council will
have eight Communists instead OF
one, but the moderate majority will
be virtually unchanged. OF the 855
towns of more than 5000 population,
radical Socialists won control of 221,
Socialists OF 1853, left Republicans OF
145, Republic Democrats Of % and
Communists Of 80.
Communists showed gains In 43
towns, while Socialists lost strength
in seven.
Complete calm was reported In most
of France except in Laon and Seclin,
where Communists clashed with police
and several were injured.

Docket Shows Need of More
Stringent Rule.

of bad-brake cases taken into Police
Court resulted In a recommendation
today to Corporation Counsel Z. Bar

HIGH COST OF ACCIDENTS.

If you want to get the low-down on
the high cost of accidents just ask
the man who's had one!"
Some 20 years ago an ambulance
delivered an automobile accident VIC
tim to q certain hospital. At last
reports he was still there, helpless
cripple with limbs psralyzed and
power of speech gone. He has never
been identified Day after day, year
after year, he sits immovable in his
wheel chair, a living, breathing work
of distorted human sculpture.
During 1894, $500 people lost
their lives in auto accidents-the
highest motor vehicle death toll in
history. But such cases as the one
Just referred to forcibly remind us
that accidents sometimes deal out a
fate worse than death.
In addition to $500 deaths, more
than q million others were injured,
including about 100000 permanently
disabled. The economic loss is est-
mated at $500 .000, 900. including
medical, hospital charges, property
damage. loss Of wages, earning power,
etc.

ARMY PROBE FINDS
LOBBY EVIDENCE
Prominent Lawyer, Former
Witness, Is Recalled in
Committee Quiz.
BY REX COLLIER.

Reopeping behind closed doors its
investigation of Army business deal
ings, the House Military Affairs Com
mittee has uncovered important new
evidence in connection with lobbying
conditions which were the subject Of
a grand jury inquiry.
Joseph Silverman, jr., dealer in sur
plus Army supplies, whose activities
at the War Department precipitated
the grand jury investigation more than
year ago, has been questioned by
the committee concerning mass Of
documents received by Investigators
for the House group.
A prominent lawyer-lobbyist who
was a witness before the jury and
before the committee some time ago
will be recalled for interrogation as
q result Of the renewed inquiry.
Evidence Brought Here.
The documentary evidence recently
was brought from New York at the
instance Of w. Frank James, former
Michigan Representative and now
counsel for the committee. The pa
pers are said to belong to Silverman.
Silverman was barred from further
negotiations with the War Depart
ment just prior to the launching of
grand jury proceedings. His "asso-
ciates" undesignated - also were
placed on the departments blacklist
at that time.
The grand jury questioned more
than 40 witnesses, including high War
Department officers, but returned no
indictments. Instead, the jury made
a special report to Secretary Dern
condemning lobbying conditions at
the department.
Favoritism Charged.
The inquiries by the grand Jury
and the House committee revolyed
around alleged favoritism in award
ing certain contracts sought by Sill
verman and by automobile firm rep
reSentativeS.
As an outgrowth Of one phase Of
the inquiry the House committee made
vigorous representations to Secretary
Dern about alleged unethical prac-
tices participated in by several high
Army officers engaged in procurement
work. The charges Of the committee
were investigated by the inspector
generals Office and prompted Secre-
tary Dern to issue a severe rebuke TO
Col. Joseph I. McMullen, chief Of the
patents section Of the judge advocate
generals Office. Col. McMullen was
accused Of having private business re-
lations with firms doing business with
the Army.
Activities Of another high officer
are known to be under inquiry at the
Capitol and at the War Department.

Mayors Camp Near
White House for Share
of Relief Fund.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~RAFFIC Is jamming up around
President Roosevelt's $4,000
100000 pap barrel. The place
i has been overrun lately with
Governors and mayors or their
special representatives. The boys are
crowding in from far and near, trying
to arrange quietly for their swig Of
that four billion. All are promoting
pet projects back home.
The crowding has become so close
that the mayors have actually estab-
ished a Washington headquarters. The
official Conference Of Mayors is OPEN
ing up Offices in an old brownstone
front edif1ce, half a block from the
White House. Only one lobbying out
fit is nearer to the Executive Mansion,
and that is the Women's Peace Organi-
Zation.
Of course, the mayors insist they
are not lobbying. In q sense, that Is
true. There is no doubt that the re-
lief program requires States and cities
to have representatives on the job here
to look out for their interests. Their
relations with the Federal Govern
ment have become so extensive that
Senators and Representatives can no
longer handle the job effectively.

VIII Congress write as fair a law
for all labor as 1t has for railroad
labor? This is the question brought
to an issue by the omissions of the
Wagner bill, which, incidentally, has
not yet been approved by President
Roosevelt. In fact, Raymond Moley,
spokesman for Mr.. Roosevelt, has
criticized these very weaknesses in the
bill, pointing out that while it pur-
ports to be bill defining a number
of unfair labor practices" they are
in reality unfair employer practices"
and, he says, unfair employe or
union practices are not defined" in
the Wagner bill.
If the Wagner proposal becomes
law without any amendment to pre-
vent employees from coercing each
other, 1t will bring on an era of indus
trial strife unparalleled in American
history.
