To Average Last Years.

The Literary Digest writes: THE
phrase on the whole was omitted in
this present referendum in order to
clarity and simplify the question,
because, in the previous 0934 poll,
thousands of voters, and a number
of newspapers, interpreted this one
phrase into a variety of different
meanings which apparently confused
them in their voting. Therefore. in
the current balloting the publishers of
the magazine omitted the phrase
because they felt that the general
aims and the functioning of the New
Deal as a national policy should be
well known by now to the voting
public, due to the extensive publicity
which it has received in the daily
press and the issue it has made in
elections throughout the country since
its innovation"
1t was rainy night when President
Roosevelt attended the New York
Masonic ceremonies for two sons.
Traffic was thick at 7:l5 pm, the
downtown lane on Park avenue was
lined with police. At every corner
they compelled traffic at cross streets
to go straight on through, keeping
Park avenue clear for the President.
One chauffeur gave a strong argu-
ment to a cop, saying his boss lived
on Park avenue, and was expecting
the, car at that time. and the delay
would probably cost him Job.
Police nevertheless pushed him up a
side street. When Mr.. Roosevelt came
along he was in an open car sur
rounded by a motorcycle escort. :
The caustic comments from the
Park Avenue dUellers cracked like
flint on steel. Also steel-like iDas
Mr.. Rooseuelt's entourage, which
cared not whdt Park Avenue
thinks. On Third auenue it might
hare been different.
Note-The Secret Service has lately
been tougher, more careful, in making
travelling arrangements to safeguard
the President. The White House de-
tail has been entirely reorganized
since Mr.. Hoover left. Most Of the
old hands have been shipped to out
lying districts. --

CANADA s. PACT
AWAITS SIGNATURE
New Trade Agreement Has
Industry Aroused Over
Import Threats.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tnc ASSOCldteQ HIeSs.
Formal signing of the new Cana
diam American reciprocal trade treaty,
designed to increase commercial inter.
change between the two countries,
awaits only the arrival Of the Do
minion's premier, w. L. Mackenzie
King.
Making his second trip to Washing
ton within a week, the Canadian is
due here tomorrow especially to ratify
the agreement which he and Presi-
dent Roosevelt reached last week.
Secretary Hull will sign for the
United States, with the formal cere-
mony taking place soon after Kings
arrival.
Just what tariff concessions will be
granted under the treaty is unknown,
but already lumber, live stock and
other interests have become aroused
lest American duties on Canadian ex-
ports of their commodities be lowered.
Law Allows Half Trim.
The reciprocal trade law of 1894
authorizes the President to reduce
tariffs as much as so per cent in ex-
change for concessions by other ma
tions. How many articles will be af-
fected by the agreement with Canada
will not be known until after it has
been signed.
Representative Coffee. Democrat, of
Nebraska, discussed the live stock
question with Mr.. Roosevelt and said
later he had received assurances that
if the cattle tariff were lowered a quota
system would be set up.
Rumors of a slash in lumber duties
brought from DR.. Wilson Compton.
manager of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, an asser.
ton that such move would amount
to selling the lumber industry down
the river"
Big Reductions Asked.
Before negotiations for the new
treaty started last January, the Cana
dian Government asked for so per
cent cuts in the tariffs on lumber,
fish. potatoes, milk and cream, live
cattle, other agricultural products
and several minerals.
In exchange, it offered to pare
Canadian duties on a number Of
American products. both natural and
manufactured.
Principal American exports to the
Dominion include coal, petroleum.
iron, steel, fresh fruits, automobile
parts, raw cotton and chemicals.
Canadian American trade has
dropped sharply since 1929. Because
Canada, next to Great Britain, Is
Americas best customer, officials call
this trade treaty far more important
tha.. any of the four now in force
with other nations or the Il others
being negotiated.

1t runs a little higher than the
published figures, especially those of

A few days ago it stood at about

Authorities on the subject beliepe
the secret figure is only slightly
more accurate than the published
ones. All are largely guesswork.
Eren the A. F. OF L. is noio revising

quate unemployment figures erist.
A top-notch economist here has
made private check OF the
relationship between employment and
unemployment since the New Deal
started.
His estimate indicates that un-
employment in March. 1898, was
$4,000 900 and in August. 1885. about
100000, a decrease of 100000.
But employment increased from "a
100000 in March, 1898, to $4,000 900
in August this year, an increase of
4,7o0 900.
What it means is that, while
4,700.000 more people are working,
there are only 100000 fewer un-
employed.

; WOMEN INVOLVE
.GEBHARDT Staying
Authorities Plan to Ask
Grand Jury to IndiCt
One of Blends.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. November 1.-two
blondS and a wife complicated the
efforts of authorities to learn why Dr.
Fritz Gebhardt was slain, but they
said they would ask the grand jury
tomorrow to indict Miss Vera Stretz,
one of tie blonds, as his killer.
Police said Miss Stretz had trailed
the German industrialist and econo-
mist to West Side hotel, where he
met the other blond. They advanced
the theory that she shot him in his
twenty first floor room in the Beck
man Tower Hotel after Showdown"
Tuesday.
Before learning of the mysterious
woman police had worked in the belief
that the 3l-year-old college graduate
and part-time employe in Gebhardt's
New York Office had killed him when
he either revealed to her that he was
already married or told her that their
affair must end.
Refuses to Discuss Case.
Miss Stretz refused to discuss the
case, although police said she told
them Immediately after the shooting
that she was engaged to Gebhardt and
had shot him.
A hundred romantic letters and ca
Diagrams which passed between the
couple revealed no clue to a motive.
Neither did the woman's unwitnessed
will, which left her property to her
father and two girl friends.
All of the cablegrams and radio
messages were unsigned.
One from Dusseldorf. Germany. read
Much heartfelt love" while another
from Southampton said Everything
all right but miss you"
A little later came one that said
Germany o. K. Still miss you." and
another ended Love and trust in me-"
Before DR.. Gebhardt left America
for Germany Miss StretZ wrote him in
student German that Your new house
awaits you. Already parts of you are
here; the red roses, your picture, my
self"
Fritz, it's so bad for you to leave
me alone longing for you" the letter
went on. Perhaps after we are mar
ried so years it will be the same.
I'm feverish-I'm mad about you
Letters Dated Same Day.
In letter to the slain economist
while he was in Germany. after dis
cussing family financial problems, she
wrote Dearest, I need some one with
whom I can laugh and sing"
In another, dated the same day, Miss
Stretz discussed what was probably
previous letter suggesting that DR..
Gebhardt tell his wife of their affair.
What I wrote to you about speaking
to her should not be written" she said.
"Fritzie, it is impossible-you and /.

gram, and 1886 drawing veterans
compensation or pensions. An esti-
mated 100000 farm benefit pay
ments also will be made during the
year.

.|CKES SEES AIDS
ON GERMAN STEEL
Secretary Preparing State
ment to Explain Position
on Imports.
pvtbs Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Amid signs of administration diff
ferences over use of German steel on
p. w. A. projects, Secretary Ickes con-
ferred with legal aids until late last
night over statement designed to
explain further that he cannot inter-
fere.
Secretary Roper declared, mean
while, after a conversation with Ickes,
that while he did not wish to be
considered narrowly nationalist, he
thought domestic steel should be used
''in these particular cases"
Protest is Lodged.
James A. Emery, counsel for the
National Association of Manufactu-
rers, and William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
earlier had protested against purchase
of German steel for two P. w. A
financed projects, the Triborough
Bridge in New York City and an ocean
terminal at Moorhead City, N. C.
They are the first on which foreign
steel is being used, Ickes said yester-
day.
Two outspoken New Deal opponents
yesterday challenged Ickes' contention
that he had no authority to interfere
either in New York, where American
bids for steel piling were AZ per cent
higher than the German, or at Ocean
City, which rejected the So per cent
higher American offers.
Schall Refers to Duties.
Senator Schall, Minnesota Repub-
lican. declared in a statement that the
tariff law of 1880 authorized increased
duties to the amount of any export
bounty or subsidy. 'ie said this
would be a bar to importation Of
German steel, on which Hitler govern
ment is now paying export bounty
alleged to be so per cent"
Robert Moses, Republican secretary
Of the Triborough Bridge Authority,
who had successfully resisted the
Roosevelt administrators attempt to
oust him by withholding the bridges
P. w. A. allotment, said in New York
that but for Ickes German bids would
have been barred.
Ickes' projected statement was ex-
pected to amplify his explanation of
refusal to interfere with the two pur-
chases. The projects fall under diff
ferent regulations.
