ICkES WINS FIGHT

by Committee Despite

In efforts to put $4,000 people
to work with a dwindling s4,00o.000,-
900 appropriation, work-relief chief
tains yesterday went on record in
favor of spending s100.0o0,u00 on
reclamation projects, despite the high
cost for materials.
Coming as a Recommendation by
the Work Allotment Committee. the
move was interpreted as major vic
tory for Secretary Ickes, who backed
his subordinate, DR. Elwood Mead.

long struggle to exempt the reclama-

Ickes first said a month ago that
irrigation and power developments
were endangered because they cost
$2,50e per man given a years work.
Western protests were climaxed last
week when number of Senators and
Representatives calico at the White
House to push approval of Mead's
$ll3,OOU,UUO program. The President
said afterwards rhst be favored most
of the projects.
The President then explained that
projects he considered NATIONAL
such as the Boulder, Bonneville and
Grand Coulee Dans-- would not be
charged against the work-relief
quotas Of States where they were 10

Meanwhile, relief officials disclosed
that 100000 unemployables-ab about

N. R. A. DISMISSES
240 OF FIELD FORCE
Another Like Cut Expected Soon.
Reduction Slow Because of
Contract Possibility.

By the Associated Press.
N. r. A. disclosed today that 20 per
cent Of It's field staff of approximately
1900 had been given dismissal notices.
Another 20 per cent will receive
these notices at once, officials said.
Reduction of the field staff has been
comparatively slow. 1t was asserted,
because of the possibility that N. r. A.
may have charge of Government con-
tract work. Were it not for this, the
officials added, virtually the entire
field staff might be dismissed at once.
In some quarters it has been pro-
posed that the Government require
bidders for its work to guarantee that
they have maintained and will main
tain certain labor standards. A bill
to provide for execution Of this plan
Is before Congress. It would necessi-
tate substantial supervisory person.

Federal Official Tells Police

ATLANTIC CITY. N j.. July O.
J. Edgar Hoover. director of the Fed

today that parole practice in America
approaches a national scandal"
Speaking before the International
Association of Chiefs of Police, Hoover
called the millions of dollars spent for
crime detection "a mockery" because
Of easy paroles.
1T seems impossible that in an en-
lightened nation brave officers should
be asked to face desperate criminals,
to endure danger, injury. and even
loss of life, that those criminals be
captured. only to see them turned
loose to again resume their predatory
careers"
The prison sentence (which says
one thing and means another Is q

The optic system requires a photo

no special skill. A plate, measured of

The technicalities Of the system, he
said, are no more confusing to the
layman than the technical expressions
Of the f1ngerprint system.

an action which would be plainly un-
constitutional.
Power Plainly Limited.
Since the Supreme Court has said
that mining is wholly local matter
1t is difficult to see how the courts
could sustain the Guffey bill, which
would prohibit the use of the mails
or other interstate facilities to all who
engage in the business of buying and
selling the coal after 1t Is mined. The
power to regulate is not the power to
prohibit or to set up all businesses in
interstate commerce as public utilities
subject to Federal control.
If the Guffey bill were held con-
stitutional it would change the form
of our Government completely and
would put the dry goods business, the
shoe business, the products of all fac
tories and plants clearly under the
Federal Government, which could
make any rules it pleased governing
wages, hours, unioniZation and even
prices. No such power is vested in the
Federal Government by the Constitu-
ton, and SO long as the present mem
bership of the court Is maintained,
there is no likelihood that the Guffey
bill could ever be held valid. These
being the opinions Of competent law
yers from one end of the country to
the other-for the issues have been
passed upon dozens of times-the ques-
ton still remains why the President
urges Congress to disregard the Con-
stitution and the precedents that have
grown up through decades Of judicial
history. -.
