known the toastmaster's father
for IS years and was convinced
that everyone, whether they were
in agreement with Mr.. Hearst'S
policies or not, must concede that
his stand for Americanism has
been powerful force in the past
generation. He added:
"Mr. Hearst is optimistic al
ways. He hopes that when we
emerge from the present turbu-
lent period of trials for every
one. our country will still be
truly American"
A warning was sounded by B. C.
Forbes, financial columnist of the
Hearst newspapers, against the
recent attacks in Washington on

He predicted, however, that out of
the maze of experimentation now
going on, the real America will
triumph.
"True Americanism"
Arthur Bugs" Baer, the humor-
1st, gave the ad men some philo-
Sophical advice on personal rela-
IlOnSnlpS and O11ereo some SuggeS'
tons on how to be a POSTMASTER.

mer Supreme Court Judge Daniel

ing, on behalf of the club, thanks
to the speakers, said:
mo influence in the nation to-
day is more thoroughly in line
with true Americanism than
that of Mr., Hearst"

|CkES, HOPKINS
MAY RULE NEW
WORKS PLAN
BY E. F. JONES

With the Nations hopes for re-
covery invested entirely in a pub
lie works program, AdminiStra-
ton observers have emerged with
the prediction that Interior Sec
retary Harold L. IckeS and Fed
eral Relief Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins will be the coadminiS-
traitors of the program. Also
that Mr.. Hopkins will assume the
official title Of Undersecretary Of
the Interior.
Basis for the prediction is
found, the observers aver, in the
fact that while Mr.. Hopkins has
been officially mentioned as a
key man Of the new set-up, 1t
would be unlikely that the valu-
able expehence cleaned by secre-
tary Ickes as PWA administrator
since its inception would be dis
carded and a new organization
formed.
Has Asked Undersecretary
Further, the Secretary has
voiced his request to the White
House for an Undersecretary, and
it Is believed he would not ask
that such a post be created unless
the administration of the new
works program was to remain un-
der his official roof.
Mr.. Hopkins, who now receives
$4,000 yearly as holder of the
Governments relief purse strings
and would probably receive the
same salary as an underSecretary,
is pointed to by the "seers" as the
most logical candidate. He and
Mr.. IckeS are known to be on
the most friendly terms and share
beliefs concerning industrial re.
covery.
Aided in Message
Since the President read his
message to Congress last week,
abolishing direct relief of employ
ableS" and placing the entire bur
den upon the Public Works Ad-
ministration or an emergency unit
with similar functions followers of
New Deal policies have seen Mr..
Hopkins as having played a prom
inent part in the writing of that
message.
Last summer the relief admin
istrator made a Six-week tour of
Europe, where he made thor
ough study of works projects. He
returned and publicly announced
he had formed some very definite
ideas about relief" which he
transmitted to the White House.
He has always favored work re.
lief instead of direct or dole" re-
lief.

mess is better-and the American
public now Is ready to laugh
again.
So the 1885 trend in motion pic
lures will be toward light comedy.
That was the viewpoint brought
here today by Harry M. Warner,
president of Warner Brothers and
First National Pictures Corpora
tion, on his way East from the
West Coast, where he perfected all
the advance arrangements for
Marion Davies first picture under
the Warner Brothers insignia for
clean movies.
Mr.. Warner said:
"The motion picture business
In 1894 was much better than
in 1888, and we anticipate con-
tinued improvement in 1888. We
shall continue to produce clean
movies with a stronger emphasis
on light comedy"
Miss Davies new picture will be
released under the title of Page
Miss Glory" It is now an out.
standing success on the regular
stage in New York. With Miss
Davies playing the leading role,
Mr.. Warner predicted that it will
be an even greater hit in the
movies.

vice whose compensation is not

work more than 40 hours a week

Answering a query by Secretary
OF Interior Harold L. Ickes which
asked if such employees were sub
ject to Section % of the 1894 in
dependent offices supply bill,
which established a 4O-hour week
for employees of the parks office
and provided for time and one.half
overtime pay, the Comptroller
General ruled that, except in the

NJ 'CARRAN ASKS
J. TAXI SURETY

Early Senate approval Of the
revised proposal to compel taxicab
owners and drivers to take out
insurance against injury to their
passengers will be sought by Sena-
tor Pat McCarran CD of Nevada,
q member of the Senate District
Committee.
The Nevadan was a member of
the Senate District subcommittee
which last session held hearings
on a bill of that nature, and he
feels that enactment Of the meas
ure is highly important.
Senator McCarran brought the
matter up at the meeting of the
committee held yesterday, but no
action could be taken as the bill
has not been reintroduced at this
session.
Senator McCarran, however,
said he will prepare the bill for
Introduction within a few days,
and will ask for committee ap-
proval Of it at the next meeting.
Senator McCarran said that
when passengers in taxicabs suf.
fer injuries they often are un.
able to collect damages because
the driver. or owner, has no in
Surance against such injuries and
has no money to pay such dam
ages. He declared such a situa-
tion should not be tolerated, and
that the passage of his proposal
should be expedited to remedy
the situation.

BIOJUs Up Vessel

An explosion aboard a nitrate
laden Swedish ship in the harbor of
Santos, Brazil, Friday caused the
death of at least 81 persons, includ-
ing three members of the crew.
The vessel, the 3,019-ton freigh-

mediately after the blast.
So great was the confusion along
the wharves hours after the explo-
sion that no accurate check Of the
death toll could be made.
Capt. Jon Anderson, captain of the
vessel, said that he had ascertained
three of the crew were lost, two
injured, while the others were
saved.
Port officials said that about so
stevedores were believed to have
been aboard the ship at the time of
the explosion and that about half of
them succeeded in escaping with
their lives.
Rescuers searched the harbor for
floating bodies. Two of the dead
were identified as quay vendors,
while third was a fireman visiting
friends aboard the ship at the time
