Continued Federal aid for direct re-

Children's Bureau.
Miss Lenroot took this position, con-

Adequate provision for relief and
service to dependent families Is neces-

from their homes by reason of poverty

Miss Lenroot then recommended

Radio Relations.
What holsters this conclusion is the
inside background of White House
radio relations.
Evening star., 1935-12-31

There was some inner excitement
near the top here following the holi-
day departure of Col. Lindbergh. The
administration has always assumed
things like that were almost as i'm
portsnt politically as the tariff and
taxation.
A private investigation is under
stood to hare been undertaken by
some one near, but not In, the
White House. The conclusion tDds
reached that Lirldbergh could haze
chosen a far less conspicuous tDdy
to get Gwdy from threats and an
noydnces il that tOGs his only pur-
pose.
The ordinary way would have been
to have his airline transfer him
quietly to England to promote its
forthcoming transatlantic service. A
routine announcement could have
been issued after he was at sea, and
not slipped out indirectly in way to
cause such commotion. Also, movie
stars and others whose faces are in
ternationally known have been able
to cross with comfort on large liners
in seclusion, without buying up all
the passages on small boat and de-
parting at midnight.
At least so say the apprehensive
New Dealers.
Evaporation.
These pointed suppositions are all
correct, but they point in the wrong
direction, say the Lindbergh friends
here. The colonel, they maintain, Is
really q valuable technical adviser for
his employers and not Just q promo
ton manager. Their explanations are
personal, like the published ones. The
effect Of the cruel tragedy to their
first-born was very deep. Subsequent
annoyances became exaggerated. It is
supposed to have been Mrs Lindbergh
who was particularly worried.
Statesmen-All Too Human.
Some statesmen are human. Around
this happy season Of year 1t is not
unknown for one or two of them to
test the flowing bowl. At least this is

CHARGES ARMOUR
VIOLATES DECREE
One Of Company's Five
Largest Stockholders En-.
terS Consent Case.

A stockholder Of Armour & Co. Of
Illinois, one of the Nations principal
meat-packing firms, charged today in
District Supreme Court that the scope
Of the company's interests constitutes
a monopoly and violates the packers
consent decree of 1920.
Asking leave to intervene in the
consent decree case. Fred ]. Leuckel
of Trenton, N. j., one of the COM
pany's five largest stockholders
sought an order directing the COM
pany, its officers and directors to di-
vest themselves Of their allegedly i'm
proper holdings.
Leuckel said he filed his petition as
taxpayer. a stockholder and as a
friend Of the court. If the holdings
of the company were reported to the
Attorney General, he said, the COM
pany would be found to be operating
in restraint of trade. Such a situation
might result in prosecution.
Charges Violation.
BY the packers consent decree,
which settled antitrust proceedings
against five large packing companies,
the concerns were prohibited from
owning capital stock or any other in
terest in public stockyard market
companies, stockyard terminal rail-
roads, stockyard market newspapers
and stockyard market journals.
Leuckel said Armour & Co., its off,
GERS or directors, are violating this
provision by directly or indirectly
owning large blocks of capital stock
and controlling certain public stock
yard market companies and stock
yard terminal railroads.
He asked that the company and its
officials be required to make COM
plete disclosure of their holdings.
Judge Refuses Petition.
Leuckels petition followed closely q
refusal by Justice Jennings Bailey to
permit the United States Wholesale
Grocers' Association to intervene in
the packers consent decree case.
Holding that no further action in
the case was contemplated at this
time, Justice Bailey said the interven-
tion could serve no practical purpose.
The Grocers' Association was sue
cessor to the American and National
Grocers' Associations, which were al
lowed to intervene during hearings
several years ago on the petitions of
the packing companies for modifica-
ton of the decree. The petition by
the new wholesale group was intended
