WALKER CLOSING :

October 1-Hopkins May
Return at Once.

In accordance with President Roose-
velts order closing down on further
applications for works relief funds,
the Division of Applications and In
formation, Of which Frank C. Walker
is the head, will fold up on October /.
Walker will be out of the actual
spending program but will continue
as chairman of the National Emer-
gency Council.
At his Hyde Park conference. Mr..
Roosevelt set September II as a dead-
line on applications for projects under
the $4,000 100000 drive to substitute
employment for direct relief. The
main functions Of Walkers division
automatically ended on that date, but
since he maintains large press bu-
reau, his staff has been kept at work
handling the deluge Of press releases
for the Works Progress Administra-
ton.
The task of examining applications
being ended, now that all works-reliet
press staff will be absorbed by the
Works Progress Administration. The
publicity mill will be required 20

of the works-relief drive, acting as
c--ordinator.
In the absence of Harry L. Hopkins

in charge of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration as well as the direct
relief activities.
At w. P. A. headquarters it was
said today that Hopkins may return
to Washington directly from the Pa
cilc Coast, instead Of accompanying
the President by boat from San Diego
through the Panama Canal He is
anxious, it is understood, to get back
on the job.
Despite frequent conferences be-
tween President Roosevelt and Con-
troller General McCarl to avoid spend.
ing troubles, dozen or more WORKS
relief projects have been rejected by
McCarl, it was learned today.
Informed officials said the President
and controller general had talked over
many of the projects before Mr..
Roosevelt allocated the funds. In this
manner, they said, McCarl's staff had
a chance to pass on the allocations
before work was started, thus taking
away the sting of a public rejection.

RUMANIAN HELD
IN Staying OF 21
Confesses, Saying He Got Spir'
itual Satisfaction Out of
Good Murder,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, September
2S-Vasile Tcaciuc was held today
for the mass murder of 81 persons. in
cluding one woman.
Police said the woman had been
identified as a school teacher who had
been missing for several weeks.
Authorities said they had obtained
q confession from Tcaciuc admitting
that he got spiritual satisfaction out
Of a good murder"
The alleged confession also stated
that a 17-year-old girl induced him
to commit the crimes and served as
the lure of the victims.
Among the men slain were a
father and son, according to police,
who expressed skepticism over q
statement in the alleged confession
that three women, in addition to the
17-year-old girl, aided in the crimes
1t is unlikely, the police said, that
the school teacher could have been
lured to her doom by a girl.
All the other crimes followed a
common design, the police SAID. 1t
was the slayer's practice to invite his
victims to an isolated house. the al
legged confession stated, to meet the
women friends"
The arresting officers reported that
the prisoner told them II would use
a hatchet and would always hide the
body under the floor"
Tcaciuc Is known in the Rumanian
underworld as "the giant"

HULL ADVOCATES
.L|BERAL|zED TRADE
Expresses Faith That All
Nations Will Strive for
Broader Policy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A faith that all nations will exercise
political courage" in striving for more
liberal international trading policies
to stimulate world business and lay
better foundation for peace" has
been expressed by Secretary Of State
Hull.
/ In a message to the Economic Com
mittee Of the League Of Nations, Hull
interpreted recent resolutions adopted
by the committee as, in effect. in
dorsing the American program for
expanding trade through bilateral
trade agreements based on the most
favored-nation principle.
In his message, Hull said:
II have observed with the greatest
ci interest that many important gov
ernments Of the world, as represented
in the committee -, have reached
close accord on an economic program,
designed to assure a fuller and more
satisfactory restoration Of industry
and commerce.
The world will note that a leading
conclusion of your committee Is that
the adoption Of more liberal interna-
tiopal trading policies is 'indispen-
able to further recovery
Hull said Your committee has
recommended the conclusion of bi-lat-
eral trade agreements point out that
the beneficial effects of such agree
ments will be the more widespread
when based upon the principle Of the
most-favored- nation clause. -
THE proposed program assumes, no
doubt, that each country will continue
to develop its economy on domestic
lines as fully as sound business calcu-
lations may justify, but recognizes the
economic fact-which has been dem
onstrated by bitter experience-that
full and stable business prosperity,
full employment Of labor and satisfac-
tory wages, and the need of a secure
foundation for peace, would all require
the restoration of normal volume Of
international trade"
Hulls message was transmitted to
the League Committee through Prem
tiss Gilbert, American consul at
Geneva.
The Secretary already has engi-
neered reciprocal trade pacts with
Cuba, Sweden and Haiti, under his
own program, and pacts with Brazil
and Colombia are now awaiting rati-
fication by those countries.

rarely sees them.
Theirs is something like the prob

Aside from them, the community
is almost thriving. A residential

League Body Held in Readiness for
Emergency Call.
BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 2s.- The
League Of Nations Assembly ad-
adjourned today in the face of a
warning Of grave events" impending
but ready to meet instantly on an
s o S call in any new talo-Ethiopian
emergency.
Shortly after adjournment. sitting
as committee Of l3, the League
Council decided in private session
to submit to the Italian government
Ethiopia,s request for the dispatch OF
neutral observers to the troubled
frontiers of Emperor Halle Selassie.
Dangers Inspire Inquiry.
Italy's views were sought, League
officials explained, because the Council
felt it would be difficult and perhaps
even perilous for a neutral commission
to proceed to Ethiopia unless guaran-
tees were obtained from both nations
that its work would be facilitated and
the lives of its members protected.
At the same time belief was cur
rent in diplomatic circles that Great
Britain, II worst comes to worst, would
refuse to act alone in naval blockade
against Italy and would at least insist
upon using naval ports such as Tou-
lon, France, and Piraeus. Greece.
Before they parted the statesmen
were warned by Eduard Benes, presi-
dent of the Assembly, that grave
events may still occur In q conflict
which the Council has not yet been
able to settle"
Sanction Talk Pushed.
The impression gained in talking
to diplomats Of various countries to-
day was that while talk of sanctions
was being held somewhat in allegiance
in Geneva, conversations on that SUBJ
ject we're being pursued in capitals
Of the great powers with more def
mite cooperation apparent between
Great Britain and France.
The League Council, with italy re-
sentful and absent as an interested
party, raced against time In an effort
to complete Its recommendations in
the Italo- Ethiopian crisis before "in-
cidents" make the tension intolerable.
In the background, scarcely spoken
of even unoficially. lay the hope that
the United States might be persuaded
to act with the League should sane
tions be applied following an incl
dent" precipitating hostilities.

offensive to the dignity of a police

He further assailed the Govern
ment for asking a 30-day postpone
