 To be sure the pay is not large but it is equivalent to $1O0 per month for the workman who is paying for his board and clothing. It is $50 clear every month and a whole lot better than hanging around town waiting for better paying job that might not show up, and in the meantime perhaps having to look to relief agencies for subsistence

A Grim, Resolute Figure.
(New Orleans Times-Picayuneo

The Roosevelt personality stands today as a dominant element of American current history, but it is difficult to gauge whatever shift there has been in public opinion. Since the last Literary Digest poll and, far important, the last large groups of elections, tremendous blows have been struck at him. most damaging of all being the collapse of the MIRA. In spite of these, however, he has stood his ground, and today he stands grimy resolute figure holding Congress to the job through the hot July days and pressing for passage of his administration measures. About him still-and perhaps more than ever-is the Roosevelt tradition which won him so many fol- lowers and fighting courage which his foes have to respect

Woman Recluse Left Great Fortune To Many Charities

Boston, Dec. 27.-(UP)-An enig- matic 80-year-old woman, almost legendary in her Victorian setting, who lived hand-to-mouth exist ence in a basement corner of her 20-room South End mansion, has left a will distributing $200,000 to charities and public institutions.
 The woman was Miss Grace Fletcher Kelley, distant relative of Daniel Webster, who for the past half century had been a recluse, barring all visitors save three neighbors and a boy who ran er- rands for her. Her will was filed in probate yesterday, following her death Monday. What few details of her life were revealed merely added to the mystery which always had surrounded her. She was a na- tive of Frankfort, Me, and a mem- Der of an early aristocratic Maine family. Some whispered that she had a blighted romance in her younger days. The only thing known was that she had been mar A4CO GO OklC OOAAA Ns SOOOWA11S Dut had divorced him. When and where she was married or when she was divorced no one knew.
 After Miss Kelley's death, bank officials, acting on her instructions, found hidden in a closet of her home $100,000 in stocks, savings bank books showing deposits of $40,000, and some cash. It was rn- derstood she had an additional $50,000 on deposit in Boston banks for which books have not yet been found.
 Biggest beneficiary is Massachu- sets General hospital. which re- ceives $40,O00 for a free bed for women. The Kelley home and all its furnishings go to the Morgan Memorial, a Boston charitable in- stitution. Other beneficiaries in- clude Boston university, the Animal Rescue league, and the Eastern Maine Central hospital at Bangor, Me.

CANCCTERS ARE
 BEING EXPOSED
Dozen Super=Men Control Thugs, BOmbers, Who
 Prey on Business

New York, Dec. 27.-(UP)-An approximate dozen super gangsteGs rule thugs and bombers who ex- tort millions from New York city business men annually, an extra ordinary grand jury reported today. ] The jurors said testimony of 500 witnesses convinced them they were on the trail of a huge extortion ring run by men totally unknown to the public" but they were un- able in four months of investiga- ton with $20O,000 staff to ob- tain sufficient evidence for indict- mentS.
 May Take Two Years
 Complete investigation of the rackets supporting the extortionists, the jurors said, probably would re- quire two years. They asked that they be relieved and new garnd jury impaneled to continue the inquiry that Governor Herbert H. Lehman began last July by ordering special term of supreme court and appointment of a special New York county prosecutor. From the witnesses who have appeared before us we find that many of the industries in this city are vic- timized by racketeers," the jury re- ported to Justice Philip J. McCook. "This racketeering is largely cen- tralized in the hands of dozen or IS major criminals, most of them totally unknown to the public. Our experience indicates that the real powers behind the racket rarely, if ever, achieve public notoriety.
 Operate Through Lieutenants
 saThey operate through lieuten- ants, who in turn operate through henchmen. Their activities are well disguised and the trail running to the actual leaders is often almost obliterated."
 Information warranting several indictments against indiivduals was presented by the staff of Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey, the jurors said, but the indictments were withheld "so that whole rack cts may be destroyed by getting at the roots, and not merely harassed."

There was neither elec- tricity nor gas in her home. What little light she had flickered from wax candles. Her only concession to modernity was to a lively inter- est in current events, which she sat- isfied by reading three newspapers daily. Miss Kelley drank two quarts of wine every day. Her meals con- sisted mainly of bread, jelly and candy. She never cooked food and never ate meat. She always slept on couch. If she left any relatives, no one knew them. A brother, equally eccentric, died several years ago.

 T have definite information that many ballots are being sent in which are marked against the New Deal but carry an appended nota- ton at the bottom that the sender will vote next year for MT.
