The underdogs of the United

have been refused relief-do not
wish to overthrow the govern

can never tell what will happen.
I have travelled from coast to
coast, border to border and know
how these thousands upon thou
sands of men feel and hear the

men when they work and receive

There is positively no doubt
that the transients in the United
States are getting a raw deal
Their problem is a social one if
handled right. If not, then it is
call to battle, how soon, God only
knows. All that a majority of the
transients desire is a square deal.
The public does not know there is
real poverty right in the very
places where the transients are
fed and housed.
There are endless miles of red

and shoes are hard to OBJ
tain. Most of the tranSients
have lived in this incredible
poverty with scant meals and
very little clothing for a long
time and they are getting restless
and feel that they are really the
forgotten men. The physical con-
dition of these men is none too
good because of the strain of big
business when times were good.
The people of the United States
do not think there are so many of
these transients or migratory
workers, as some call them. CAL
ifornia has more than 100000 of
them. For this country to have so

CHICAGO, March 13.-Strange
romances are not new to Chicago.
and it is automatic that any kind
CT a story can break in the Loop
or outside of it.
But even blase Chicago won
dered a bit when Bruno Austin,
Minneapolis gangster, was picked
up by police as he was leaving
church with his bride.
Austin is wanted by Federal au-
thoritieS as a member of the Kar-
pis-Barker gang which kidnapped
Edward Bremen, st. Paul banker,
and held him in secret hideout
until they collected 100000 in
ransom money.
Did his bride know when she
married him that he belonged to
the underworld, or was she dazzled
by his apps'ent wealth, assuming
it to have been acquired legiti-
mately?
Her own story is yet to be told
Meanwhile the honeymoon is off,

APPOINTED

President Roosevelt today filled
two empty places on the board of
directors of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation when he sent
to the Senate the names of for
mer Senator Hubert D. Stephens,
of Mississippi, to fill the unex.
pircd term of Harvey c. Couch,
who resigned several months ago;
and Charles T. Fisher, jr., Of
Michigan. to succeed John ].
Blaine, who died not long ago.
This appointment of former
Senator Stephens has been ex-

understood that the appointment
by the President means that the
political feud between Senator
Bilbo of Mississippi, and former
Senator Stephens has been settled.
Senator Bilbo has previously
promised that he would keep
out of Federal office his former
opponent, Senator Stephens, and
everJ one connected with him.

CONF|SCAT|ON
DURING WAR,
HURLEY AIM
Tells Senate ProberS 1t Would
Be Unconstitutional, But
Matter of Justice
international News Service

Government confiscation of war
profits was recommended today
by Patrick j. Hurley, Secretary of
War during the Hoover admins
tration, before the Senate NUM-
tions Committee.
Discussing methods of taking
said:
Congress now has the power
to convert all profits arising
out of war to where it should
be-in the Treasury of the
United States"
Mr.. Hurley stated that. although
there is some question of the con,
stitutionality of such a confisca-
ton act. he believed it could be
accomplished in time of war. He
added:
"It is unjust and unpatri-
Otic to require one man to
perhaps give his life during war
while another is making profit
out Of war"
DISAPPROVES OF TAX
Replying to Senator Nye (R0
of North Dakota, chairman OF
the committee Mr.. Hurley disap'
proved of a form of income tax
to take the profit out Of war. He
said:
"IncOme tax. while it might
reach many, will not reach all
persons making profits incl
dental to war"
Discussing the economic conse
uuences of war. Mr.. Hurley rec
commended Government price fix
ing to prevent postwar deflation
saying:
"If in event of war we can
fix prices. there will be no de-
flatiOn after the war. If a
commodity price increase is
permitted in war, it is almost
certain the initiation of prices
will remain after the war"
Offers Own Panacea
Mr.. Hurley outlined his own
panacea for the political and eco
nomic ills of the country. He
proposed:
/. Redistribution of the national
income.
2. Maintenance of the equality
of opportunity.
3. Promotion of education.
4. Elimination of poverty ana
crime.
S. More opportunity for citizens
to appreciate the spiritual ano
cultural things of life.

Nine fire companies, with two
battalion chiefs in command,
spent busy half hour at noon
today trying to find out where the
fire was in the Burchell Building,
800 block Fourteenth st. N. w.
They found it in the floor of an
office occupied by the o. M. Sty-
ron and Company, an advertising
concern. A short circuit apparent
ly was the cause.
While hundreds of spectators
looked on, the firemen strung a
dozen hose lines through doors
and windows in the front and
rear. The water damage probably
will exceed that done by the
blaze. The loss probably will not
amount to more than a few hun

President BareS Limitation
On Economy Act Clause
Adopted by SEC

Husbands and wives on the
Government pay roll may breathe
easier today, as the President Of
the United States definitely stated
today there is no intention of
dropping people from the pay
roll simply because they are mar
ried to someone on the same
roll.
At the same time he said that,
in the future, employment will
be spread so that the jobs will
go to as many families as pos
sible. However. it is understood
that, while this is the general
rule, not all the departments OF
Government have yet adopted 1t.
The Civil Service, too, it was
pointed out today, has rule
limiting jobs to two members OF
a family.
NEG Decision Explained
President Roosevelt opened his
press conference today with a
denial of the published story that
the National Emergency Council
had made a decision on the sub
ject yesterday.
He said the. council did not
even discuss the matter yester-
day. but that, two or three
months ago. after considerable
conversation on the subject, the
heads of the emergency organl-
cations of government had de-
cided that, other things being
equal, they should give no jobs
to persons in family where
someone already had a Govern
ment job.
The idea was to spread the
work as much as possible, but not
to make a hard and fast rule
about it.
Then, the President explained,
a discussion arose as to what
constitutes a family. and finally
it has been decided that
family is a lot of people living
under one roof. which, he said,
offers a wide latitude.
Marriage No Bar
The President went on to ex.
plain that there is no intention
to make marital or family rela-
tionships a bar to Government
service. If a man or woman is
an expert in any line or is especi-
ally qualified for a particular job,

CENSUS JOBS
At ONCE

With returns from the farm
census pouring in from every
section of the country, the Bureau
of the Census will add 1900 new
workers to it's Washington per-
sonnel Immediately, it was
learned at the Commerce Depart
ment today.
According to the Bureau. the
additional employees must not only
have Civil Service status, but
must have had at least six
months experience in Census Blu
reau work. Provided the six
months experience can be shown,
Civil Service workers who have
previously been classed as tempo
rary in the Census Bureau are el-
igible.
While the employment of the
full force is not expected to be
necessary this week, the total
strength of 1900 doubtless will be
needed on the job within two
weeks, when the complete census
returns are due in Washington
headquarters.
TabuIate Reports
Work for the new employees will
consist of tabulating and present,
ing in statistical form the reports
of some $4,000 enumerators who
have been in the field gathering

Uncle Sam is through playing
policeman for the rest of the
worlo in Cuba.
This Government no longer in
tendS tc risk the lives of Amer
ican sailors or marines to pro-
tect the nationals of other coun-
tries who may become endangered
by Cuba's periodical internal dis
orders
It considers that its special re-
sponsilibities with regard to the
protection of foreigners in Cuba
ended definitely with the abro'
CATION of the. so-called Platt
Amendment, which gave this
country the right to intervene in
Cuba for the protection of "life,
property and individual liberty"
This position on the part of the
State Department was aScertained
in authoritative quarters today fol
lowing unconfirmed reports that
Spain planned to send cruiser to
Cuban waters in connection with
the present internal strife.
The United States, it was said,
now considers the nationals of
other countries in Cuba are in the
same position as they would be in
any other foreign country.
If their lives become endan-
gered by Cuban internal disorders,
it is matter for their respective
governments to handle.
However, it was evident this
Government would take a definite
stand against any move by other
powers to seek to take advantage
of Cuba's internal troubles to ex'
tend control over that island re-

Senators Express DisapproVaI
Of House Bill; Utilities
Levy Boost Favored

Strong reaction against the
imposition of a local income tax
in the District came from Sen
ate members today, following the
introduction in the House yes
terday of a bill for that purpose.
The bill was introduced by
Representative Henry Ellenbogen
DO of Pennsylvania, a member
of the House District Committee.
who explained that it would
raise an additional $1,500,000
annually with which the local
government could pay it's share
of anticipated unemployment in
surance.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, chairman of the Sen
ate District Appropriations sub
committee, today characterized
the income tax as a unfair
method" of taxation.
Property Tax Boost
'"If it is necessary to raise
more money here in the Dis
trict would think it could best
be done by increasing the rate
on property. The District Com
misSiOners could do this them
selves without any legislation,
and they could raise the rate
as high as they desired to
bring in the necessary revenue.
"The income tax would be
all right if it could be properly
enforced, but don't think it
can, or at least it hasn't BEEN"
From Senator Pat McCarran
CD of Nevada, a member of the
Senate District Committee, came
the suggestion that if it is neces-
sary to raise additional revenue in
the District it should be done by
increasing the tax on public utili-
ties.
He definitely condemned the in
come tax method of obtaining rev.
enue for the District, adding that
in his opinion the Federal Gov
ernment should contribute more
towards District maintenance. He
asserted:
with the burden of taxation
borne by the average District
citizen, who is bearing all he
can now, the Government
should go farther towards aid
ing the District. This would
Obviate the necessity for increas-
ing taxes.
However. if the Federal gov
ernment fails to do this and ad-
ditiOnal revenues are needed,
the public utilities should bear
it,"
SENATOR CAPPER'S VIEW
A similar view was expressed by
Senator Arthur Capper (RD of
Kansas, ranking minority member
of the Senate District Committee,
who said:
II have always been opposed
to an income tax for the Dis
trict, and before 1 would ever
change my views it would have
to be definitely proved to me
that it was the proper thing to
do.
II am having a bill prepared
now which would increase the
taxes on Utilities in the Dis
trict, and 1 think that would be
about the best way to increase
taxes here. The utilities in this
city are bearing = less rate than
