BY RODNEY BUTCHER
democrat Washington Corre-
spOndent

Washington, July 25. - One
rather important fact about the
big work relief program has been
overlooked by both Roosevelt and
the conservatives who regard 1t as
a pampering, squandering scheme
for people who ought to be kept on
a cash dole.
The work reliefers and their
families, expected to number up
ward, of 100000, won't be getting
enough to eat.
The official wage scale runs from
$19 a month to $94 a month. The
average wage is expected to be $50
month, which means $500 a year.
Some of the relief workers will
draw as little as 1928 year and
some will receive the top of SIPS.
But none of them will come very
near the annual income of $500 a
year which the governments own
studies show is necessary to pro-
vide family of four with diet
adequate for physical maintenance
and protection against disease.
Average size of relief families runs
between four and five.
The way the bureau of home
economics expresses 1t is that a
family of four spending about a
third of it's income on food-the
average for low income families
swould probably" have to have an
income of about $500 to afford an
adequate diet at minimum cost on
the basis of prices as of May 10.

Auto Wheels Found
AT Reservoir Bottom
Undscosed Tip Leads to Find at Chestnut Hill To-day;
Police Believe More Loot Also Hidden

Recovery of four automobile
wheels from the bottom OF Chest
nut Hill reservoir today led police
to believe that the four youthful
members of the North End gang
held as responsible for at least Is
car thefts and strippings and other
crimes as we'll, may have more
loot hidden in similar fashion.
Acting on information from an
undisclosed source, detectives this
morning went to Chestnut Hill res-
ervoir, dragged the pond bottom at
one point, and found four wheels
which had been stripped from q
car owned by Stanley Chmielinski
of Ward street after the machine
was stolen Friday night,
Fished from the bottom of the
pond, the wheels were brought to
police headquarters and identified.
There was no official word this
morning as to whether hunts for
more loot would be conducted
elsewhere at Chestnut Hill.
Held at headquarters under
$1,000 bonds, awaiting city court
hearings Saturday, are John Feda,
10; Daniel Lite, 10; Alphonse Con-
forti, 10; and Ceaser Angeloni.
The case broke" Sunday morn
ing when the four young men were
arrested by officers in plain clothes,
after they had been trailed for sew
eral hours. Large amounts of auto
accessories and parts, and mis-
cellaneous articles were recovered
after the arrest, and detectives
have been conducting an investi-
cation all week long.
The wheels were found in more
than 10 feet of water, a short
distance off shore. They had been
placed there either to be aband-
oned or secreted. The car from
which they were stolen was found
stripped nearby.

Liberals Doubt Dickinson

Developments of the last few
months have turned the liberals of
this administration into a happy
group of playmates. Roosevelt's
swing to the progressives has been
so pronounced and manifested in
20 many places that it has driven
away the blues which afflicted lib
erals during the year in which the
president flirted with big business.
But they still find occasional
Jumps in their mashed potatoes.
Currently, they're moaning about
the appointment of Assistant Sec
rotary of Commerce John Dickin-
son, as assistant attorney general
in charge of antitrust suits.
Dickinson, they say. used to be
counsel for the sugar Trust"
among his other activities, and as
ISOLATED with the big Wall street
corporation law firm of Sullivan &
Cromwell (Which recently drew a
$4,000 fee from holding companies
in their fight against the public
utility bill). Most liberals here
have felt he was a poor New
Dealer.
Whether the appointment turns
out to be a good one or not, many
eyes will be on Mr.. Dickinson. He
may fool his enemies.

DISGRAC CEFUL LAXIT IN PAROLES.

Fortunately the Department of Justice had been at work co-ordnated program looking to removal of the notorious abuses of the parole system of America prior the amazing revelation that both the arrested in the Weyer haeuSer Kidnapping econVictS parole and that behind each of them extended criminal record But the President interest in this and his prompt call upon the department for action will help to hasten the procedure that demanded both by decency and needed protection o the public.
 Recent studies by Courtney Ryley Cooper and disclos- ures from various official and private have started the process of arousg American public opinion to the men ace easy paroles for criminals who repeatedly have dem onsrated their enmy for society. Misplaced sentiment not only for parents of offenders but for the criminals themselves has been combined with official aXty and pol

 VARIOUS CHARGES
(Bv The Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 29, Ralph Marks, 40 years old, sat in his cell at the detective bureau here, smiled until his gold tooth glittered bright lv and reminisced proudly concern ing his nine wives, whom he mar ried without the formality of se- curing a divorce in any case.
 Marks, who was arrested hiding behind trunk in his fathers home says he is a marine engineer. The New York authorities say, that in addition, he is a parole violator, and want him held for extradition. He is charged with violating his par ole from the Great Meadow priSs- on. Comstock, New York, where, in 1928. he was sentenced to serve ten years for bigamy. It was his second conviction on that charge The first was 18 months in Aub- urn in 1924.
 Ralph's gold tooth was a gift from Florence, his seventh wife, who al so gave him $2OOO for a wedding present. The first marriage was to little Italian girl in Chicago in 1912, when Ralph was F years old, and the marrying habit never de- serted him.

Unfortunately they do pause now and then, as they have in New York State, with a loss of 60 lives and a property damage of ten million dollars. A hundred and thirty-fve years ago, pioneers from New England were pushing into the Empire State on horseback and be- hind OK teams. They expected to be delayed by rising waters. It ought not to be the same now, in New York or anywhere else If memory serves correctly, several billion dollars of federal money await distribution. There is small reason why such primitive hazards as freshets should have to be con- Sidered. Now is the time for all good men to come to the relief, not of their party, but of flood control.

By a sort of diplomatic straw vote, it has been ascertained that nobody is going to stand in the way if Italy concludes to clean up on Ethiopia. During the past decade, the bars have been let down considerably in the matter of profane speech, yet there are some who still shrink considerably from speaking, and still more from writing, the statement that so an so has no more chance than a Snowball in hell. For such the affairs of the day provide an equally forceful but less jarring fig ure of speech. If the odds are against anyone, it may be remark ed that he has no more chance than Ethiopia in Africa.
