The Alphabet Bureaus.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt. TAX
ing office in the midst of the most wide
spread economic arrangement ever expert
enced by the American people, instituted
many changes in the Government. Whole
new batteries of departmental machinery,
almost equal in extent and powers to
those which. up to 1888. constituted the
American Government, were brought in
to being. They touch directly or indi-
reetfy the interests of every eitizen-they
reach straight to YOU. These agencies
multiplied with such rapidity that they
became popularity known as the ALPHA
BET BUREAUS.

Shouse Scores Administration But
Sympathizes With Social Detectives

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. (UP).
-Jouett Shouse, Al Smith Demo-
crat, and president of the Ameri-
can Liberty League, examines the
New Deal in a book published to-
day, "You Are the Government"
and finds much to criticize, includ-
ing:
It's tendency toward bureaucra-
ey.
It's failure to observe a party
pledge for immediate and drastic
reduction of governmental expen-
ditures.
It's alleged waste and ineffi-
cheney.
It's failure to balance the bud
get.
Its invasion Of the field of pri-
vate business, in his opinion to an
unnecessary degree. :,
Its agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration, which he believes mas
encroached on individual liberties
to a greater extent than Justlneu'
The former chairman OF the
Democratic National committee
commends some features of the
New Deal, but the praise is faint
He presents the book as his own
views rather than those OF the
American Liberty League, and
states that his purpose is Ito tell
in simple form the story of the
American government"

new Oath IS
GIVEN JUDGES
Judge Schenck Delivers
Opinion Granting New
Trial In Killing

RALEIGH, Jan. 2.-(UP).-
The State supreme court, yester-
day granted new trial to James
Buchanan Garden of Durham, con-
victed of killing his wife, Vera,
and sentenced to die early this
month in the electric chair.
The opinion granting the new
trial was among % handed down
by the court today.
Justice Michael Schenck, writ
ing the opinion regarding Garden,
said the court granted the new
trial because of error found in
Judge N. A. Sinclair's charge to
the jury.
Sinclair, it was pointed out, had
told the jury that "the law pre-
sumes that when a man is being
tried for crime, that he is labor
ing under a natural temptation
to testify whatever he thinks may
clear himself of the charge"
The supreme court decision
stated that, "While the law may
require the jury to scrutinize the
testimony of a defendant in the

In a chapter on "the menace
of bureaucracy" Shouse writes:
at is not the purpose here in
any sense to attempt blanket in
dictment of New Deal agencies.
The aims of the present admins
tration in embarking upon a pro-
gram of action to overcome con-
ditions existing before it came
into office are highly commend
able. There is, nevertheless, a
grave danger that some of the
new agencies will not only over
step proper bounds but will re-
maine as part of the government
tai structure after their period OF
usefulness has passed"
Shouse questions the effective

urges a balanced budget at the
earliest possible date. He sympa'

of the New Deal, but fears posi-
BILE infringement of the Constltu'

tration for resisting demands fol
currency initiation, but sees dan

Shouse also opposes a govern

YEAR PASSES
Murder, Suicide, Fire, Car
Accidents Take Most
Of Lives
BY UNITED PRESS

Tragedy scored early in the
New Year as the nations death
count rolled we'll over the 100
mark Tuesday night with auto ia
talities, shooting, suicides and
fires.
The midwest, gripped in zero
temperatures, led the nation in
New Years violence, Chicago
marking up nine deaths in "a
hours, while Illinois registered 16.
More than half the fatalities
were due to automobile accidents.
Texas had four dead in fire at
El Paso, and two killed in shoot
ings.
Scores were injured in nearly
every section of the country.
There was one near-disaster at
sea. The American freighter
Oakmar was drifting off the Caro-
lima Capes, but apparently MAX
ing repairs successfully, after ask
ing coast guard ships to stand by
in case of emergency.
New York's New Year celebra-
ton was married by more than
dozen deaths. Scores more were
injured.
Fires in widely separated parts
of the country brought two major
tragedies and a dozen minor ones.
Five aged inmates Of the Chero-
kee county home at Gaffney, S. c.,
were burned to death when flames
destroyed the institution, and four
died in Ell Paso, Texas, when an
overheated stove exploded, burn
ing home and garage.
A man was burned to death in
York, Pa, and a glass plant at
Weston, w. Va, was RACED by fire,
but none was killed. A church in
Wilmington, Del, also was de-
stroyed by fire.
Violence ushered in the New
Year at Seattle, Wash, and Bea-
yer, Pa, where three died and
two were seriously wounded in
shootings.
Floyd Lewis of Seattle, his love
spurned by Mrs. Plena Johnson,
shot her and Walter Nitsche, then
killed himself. Mrs. Johnson and
Nitsche were critically wounded.
Lawrence Leis, Beaver chief of
police, was shot to death by Rob-
ert Norton when Leis attempted
to interfere with a New Years
celebration. Norton then killed
himself.
Pathos marked many of the IA
talities. Mrs. Anna F. Dunno, of
New York, was cooking dinner
for her family of six, tainted and
fell over the stove. She was dead
when her daughter, Anna, 26,
came home from church.
Four women died when a gas

The commission asked:

Concerning purchases of as

the commission said "the elimi-
nation of competition between
corporations brought about sole
ly by the purchase of assets is
not now illegal unless the cor

restrain commerce in the whole
industry.
"The proposed amendments are
not only intended to make clear
that competition between indivi-

but also to dispense with the ne

been acquired"
Regarding the proposed guam

commission said that it would
prohibit concerns from making
different prices to buyer
through asserting that they have
a right to discriminate because
of the large quantities involved.
The commission asked power
to compel disposal of stock or as

corporation in a competitor after
the United States supreme court
had held that it could not COM

them even though purchased il
legally.
