Rural Phase OF
Government Plan
Is Being Stressed
Administrator Harry Hopkins
Says Small Towns Will Be
Benefited

The drive to employ the country's
able workers on government jobs and
to direct them into available private
employment will not miss the country
areas and small towns, Harry L.
Hopkins, Works PROCESS Administra-
tor, said today.
That there is urgent necessity to
care for the Nations rural and small
town unemployed is shown by the
fact that approximately 40 percent
of the 100000 families on relief
are to be found in the open country
and towns under 5000 in population,
Mr.. Hopkins said.
"The city used to be giant mag
net drawing unemployed labor from
the country" Mr.. Hopkins pointed
out. "This is no longer true. For
while, after the beginning of the
depression, the flow was reversed
going from city to country. Now
even this movement has slowed down
Unemployed needy people are in both
city and country"
work is largely the answer for
both areas" he said.
at is plain that the country anc
small town problem is not predomi-
nantly a farm-operator problem but
essentially one of finding work fol
non agricultural workers, just as il
is in the city," Mr.. Hopkins de
clared.
About two-thirds of the roads in
the United States are not State high
ways subject to- Federal funds. II
is these roads which will come under
the Works Progress Administration
In addition to the secondary road
program, other measures designed tc
alleviate the unemployment problem
in the rural areas include the fol
lowing:
Construction projects of various
kinds, such as small dams, levet
building, rebuilding streets, water
works and sewage disposal, extension
of lighting systems, community sani'

two additional murders; and he Gre
ated two of the funniest country
pumpkins imaginable, whose antics
provided welcome relief for the pro-
vincial audiences from the harrow
ing events of the play.
Eugene Kressin will play the orig
inal role of William Corder, whose
final repentance brought cheers in
place of the Kisses from last sum-
mer audiences. And Janet Coon, the
feminine half of the comedy relief,
will he seen again. Thomas Cahill
and Aileen Sanford again will act
the roles of Mr.. Marten and Dame
Marten. Harold Stepler, erstwhile
villain of "To Die at Dawn" assumes
the role in which he scored his first
hit with the Roadside, that of Ish-
mael Lee, the old gypsy. AS Flat
catcher, sideshow barker extra
ordinary, Frederick v. Rand, plays
his original role.
Gail Dennis, heroine of "To Die
at Dawn, will play the role of the
unfortunate Maria Marten, taken last
summer by Frances Brunt. AS Tim
Bobbin, the timid country pumpkin,
William Phillips, who suffered so
furiously in that same melodrama,
will be seen in the role Fred Hoskin
played.
Others in the cast are John Ed
wards, hero of ITO Die AT Dawn"
William Milton who played in "After
Dark" Margaret Osterwald, Lorene
Nelson, and Harold Minor.
Murder in the Red Barn" would
be incomplete without the famous
entr'act Song, "She's More to be
Pitied than Censured," so the re-
vival will feature a quartet, COM
posed of Eugene Kressin and Janet
Coon, of the original foursome, with
Gail Dennis and John Edwards.
The same musical score which
added so much to the original pro-
duction, will be used again.
Director Anton Hardt and design
er-technician Edith l. Allen are fol-
lowing the directors script and the
scene designs from last summers
production. The additional feature
will be that murder in the Red

Murder in the Red Barn." the
outstanding chit" of the Roadside's
first season last summer, will be re-
vived for a two week engagement
as the next attraction at the Rock
vile Pike barn theatre beginning
Monday, August IL. Nearly all
those melodrama actors who made
the play such success, will be seen
in their original roles.
The famous old English melodrama
boasts the most dastardly villain ever
to set foot on any stage-under the
red-lined cape beats the black heart
of thief, seducer, murderer!
William Corder is an actual person
in English history. The record of
his trail for the murder of Maria
Marten on May 18, 1927, is one of
the most vivid in English court his
tory. In its major incidents, the
melodrama is true. William Corder
did entice Maria Marten to the old
red barn, there murder and bury her.
Dame Marten did dream of the
crime, and send her husband to the
barn, where the body of their daugh-
ter was found. And William Corder
did pay for his crime on the scat
fold.
But the journeyman playwright
embellished the crime. He added a
troup of wandering gypsies, to i'm

Boston, July 29.-(UP)-A self
styled boy hobo whose fantastic
tale OF wandering about the coun-

by his parents, was enroute horne
to Brooklyn, N. Y, to-day.
The boy, reter Munziato, IA, a

Italian authorities heard OF 1t.
According to the story as pub
lished abroad, dated Adds Ababa,
The italian force, camped on the
Ethiopian side of the border, was
attacked at night by an Ethiopian
detachment. Forty Italians and 20
Philippians were killed, the story
said, and the Italians then re-
treated by motor truck.
The foreign Office telegraphed
to Eritrean officials asking for in
formation about the press reports.
Emperor Is Defiant
Adds Ababa, Ethiopia, July 20
Halle Selassie,
today offered new defiance to Fas-
cist Italy in a note in which he
refused to accept responsibility
for failure of diplomatic negotia-
lions and refused to withdraw
from mis- demand that the League
of Nations intervene to avert war.
The note replied to an Italian
one of July 23. In the reply the
emperor said that he could not ac-
cept responsibility for failure OF
Italian Ethiopian negotiations to
liquidate frontier clashes which
were the Immediate cause of the
crisis.
Failure was due, he said blunt
Is, to the refusal of Italian arbi-
traitors either to hear Ethiopia's
case or to nominate a fifth men,
Der of the commission of four, so
that a deciding vote could be cast.
He could not accept, he said. the
Italian argument that ltaly's
course was justified under treaty
of 1908. This he characterized as
an excuse. Ethiopia, he said, al
ways had maintained that consid-
Grafton of the full situation was
vital to an investigation of respon-
sibility for frontier clashes.
Therefore, the emperor said, he
could not order his negotiators TO
withdraw from their position and
he did not purpose to intervene.
The league council, he said,
should decide the issues raised.

The Americans settled in their
stride after the first game of the

Definitely in control of the net

Allison hammered a service which

In the sixth game the Americans
brought the score to deuce on

Van Ryn held his service in the

With Tuckey, vastly improved
