Farmers in the neighborhood Of
River View, Md, about Is miles
south of Washington on the Po-
tomac, today were expressing
their appreciation to Gus Wayne,
2112 Minnesota Ave. S. E. who is
proudly displaying a pair of golden
eagles which he shot in the River
View area recently.
The appreciation Is due to the
fact that the farmers have been
losing pigs and fowl for the past
two years, and lay the blame for
their losses on the pair of birds
which Mr.. Wayne is now having
stuffed for mounting.
The first of the eagles, dropped
by Mr.. Wayne with a shotgun
while he was hunting for squirrel
a week ago Saturday, has a wing
spread of 81 inches, said by bird
experts to be one of the largest
of this type ever to be brought
down in this country,

HATS FIT
NICELY NOW IN
u. 5. AUTOS
Survey Shows Official
Cars in Washington
Are on Upgrade

Gone are the days Of top hat
squeezes in Postmaster Generals
official limousines.
In the Hooverian days, the then
Postmaster General, Walter F,
Brown, was forced to demand a
new limousine because he couldn't
fit his top hat into the one he
had.
But today, even six-foot-three
Jim Farley, of the mail carriers
department, fits into his Lincoln
limousine in a top hot. He rides
around with license number 122
when he isn't going places in
trains, planes or steamships.
A survey revealed today that Of
ficial cars are on the upgrade and
that high Washington officialdom
suffers from no lack of space in
their going-out limousines. There
are assigned to the members Of
the Cabinet and also the "little
Cabinet" a multitude of big black
limouSines, which Uncle Sam pays
for and for which he supplies the
upkeep wherewithal.
Have at Least One Car
Each Cabinet member is sup
piled with at least one car. In
some cases more are assigned.
Take Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace. He has a
Buick sedan, license No. 129, and
a Cadillac Imperial, 1913.
Attorney General Cummings,
too, is given two cars-a Cadillac
Limousine and a Pierce Arrow
sedan, with license numbers 120
and 121.
On the other hand, the Vice
President rates only one car, but
that's a pretty nice one-a Cadil.
lac limousine which you can rec.
ognize easily by the license tag,
No. Ill.
To Secretary of Commerce
Roper, three Packard limousines
are given, but one only is for his
exclusive use. That one is tagged
with the number 131. The other
two, 1872 and 1873, are for the gen.
eral use of officials of the depart
ment.
A Packard limousine tagged 1875
goes to Secretary of the Navy
Swanson, while a Cadillac limou.
sine, with the number 1T, is on
the books for Secretary of War
Dern.
Secretary of Labor Frances Per.
kins' Packard limousine bears the
number 1874.
FERA Leads Field
The Department of Interior has
two cars assigned to it, both also
Packard limouSines, with the Sec
retary of Interiors personal car
tagged 127 and the other, for use
Of other officials, numbered 1865.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull'S
Packard limousine is 112.
And when you see shiny Pierce
Arrow coming down the street,
with the number, ia, that's Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau or some member of his
family.
Great big beautiful cars are pro-
vided also for undersecretaries
and assistant secretaries.
Even the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration, which doles
out bread and jobs to millions,
has its quota of official cars. In
fact, the FERA leads the field
among the new agencies in num-
ber of cars with two Packards and
a Cadillac, while the NRA must
get along with a single Cadillac
and likewise the Federal Housing
Administration.
In the Navy Department, in
addition to Secretary Swanson's
Packard, there's one for the AS.
sistant Secretary, another for gen.
eral use of officials and a fourth
for the use of the Chief of Op-
erations.

Va, Sept. 30.-Following in tn
steps of Maryland and District O.
Columbia authorities, Arlington
officials today announced tina
action would be taken to stop tht
sale in this county Of "obscen'
and indecent" publications.
William A. E. McShea, member
Of the county board, said hi
would bring up at its next regular
meeting the matter outlawine
these publications whose principa.
sale is to school children.
Calls Sale Disgrace
Mr.. McShea declared:
"Why, I had no idea such a
thing existed in Arlington
County, or I would have brought
the matter to the attention Of
the board long ago. 1t is not
only unlawful to sell such in.
decent magazines as are offered
for sale on some of our news
stands, but is an outright shame
that any newSdeaIer has to
stOOp to this level to increase
his sales. I'm 100 per cent
against this practice and will
certainly exert every effort to
end it."
High school children will &C
tually change buses to make a
stop in sections where these
magazines are being sold, it was
revealed by a high school boy in
Lyon Park.
Makes Test Purchase
Mr.. McShea explained:
"WelI, there isn't a news
stand in Lyon Park that sells
these magazines that I know
of, So I, myself, for one have
got off the bus at ROssIyn just
to buy one of them from a
news stand there. And I know
plenty more that make a regu-
lar habit of it. I'm old enough
to realize they shouldn't be sold,
but-well, 1 suppose I'm like q
lot of the rest Of them"

HEEDAPPEAL
FOR ADVICE
Criticism Of Action
Is Voiced by Few
In Washington

President Roosevelt's form let.
ter to the clergy Of the country
was received by most Of those
in the Washington area. Their
comment today fell into three
general categories:
l. The clergymen voiced gen.
eral approval, accepting the
letter as the expression of a
sincere purpose to learn their
views.
2. They regarded it as a per.
sonal letter land intend to an
swer it as SUCH"
3. They want more time to
study it,"
With few exceptionS-and the
exceptions were hostile or skep-
tical-ProteStant clergymen in
Washington and vicinity voiced
general approval.
Catholics Restrained
Comment of Catholic Clergy
men was withheld or restrained.
At st. Gabriels Rectory it was
said that Auxiliary Bishop John
M. Mcnamara, of the Archdiocese
of Baltimore, had not received the
letter, although one had been sent
to one of the priests at the rectory.
A spokesman, who said no COM
ment would be made, described
the document as obviously form
letter."
While a few clergymen here
voiced disapproval of the letter,
the majority said they would
answer it after giving it more
study.
Following are opinions voiced by
some of the leading clerical figures
in the Capital:
The Rev. DR.. James Shera
Montgomery, chaplain Of the
House:
Because of my official posi-
tiOn, 1 can not comment on this
subject. But I did not receive
a copy Of the letter."
Canon William De Vries, of the
National Cathedral:
"I was not honored by the
Presidents letter. Only one
member of the Cathedral clergy
did receive the letter."
Sees Gain for Religion.
DR.. Abram Simon, of the Wash.
ington Hebrew Congregation:
81 believe the Presidents let
ter to the clergy Of the Nation
was an inspired and excellent
move, and I believe it expresses
his thought that religion is es.
sential to a Democracy, and
should not be regarded as a pO.
litical move.
Certainly, If the President
has received help from the
Brain Trust, there is no reason
why the clergy of the country
can not help him, through a
healthy and sane point Of view.
"This desire to consult the
clergy is another evidence Of
the recovery of religion during
the depression. intend answer.
ing the letter when I have
more time to study it,"
Canon Freeland G.. Peter, Of
the National Cathedral:
II have received the Presi.
dents letter and have been
studying it carefully, but have
not prepared my reply. am
giving the after serious
thought, for it is a serious sub.

PLAN TO AID YOUNG FOLK
WOULD REACH THOUSANDS
$50, 100000 Program for Training
Youths Of Nation Getting
Under Way

Determined to edo something for
the Nations unemployed youth, be-
cause we can i'll afford to lose the
skill and energy of these young men
and women" President Roosevelt has
established a National Youth admin
istration," under the work relief pro-
gram, and set aside $50,000,OO0 to be
used in providing work apprentice
ships in private industry; in offering
high school and college training for
those between Is and 25; and in CIV
ing work relief to youths.
The purpose of the NYA, the
President said, is to meet "a great
national need" by offering unemploy-
ed youth "their chance in school, their
turn as apprentices and their oppor-
tunity for jobs"
The new enterprise was placed I'M
der the direction Of Miss Josephine
Roche, assistant secretary of the
treasury, and Aubrey Williams, as
sistant to Harry L. Hopkins, works
progress administrator.
An average payment Of SIS a
month for youths on work relief was
fixed; IS month would be given to
those going to high school, and SIS
a month to youths in college.
In soliciting State and city aid, the
President stressed the point that eve
ry attention should be given to find
ing jobs in private industry, and
promised "a minimum allowance dur
ing the duration Of apprenticeship.
Officials estimated the plan would
take care of half a million young men
and women between is and Is. More
than that number are to be helped by
