Of the supplementary estimates sub
mitted by the health officer are worth
discussing.
"The first concerns the apparent
inability Of existing machinery to
function in an expeditions fashion for
special needs. The estimate appears
to be stymied not on its merits, but
because it Games up out Of turn so
to speak.
Fears "Agonizing Delay"
"It seems to make little difference
that the present health officer took
Office March l, 1895, after the 1886
appropriations had already been
ground through the mill. The Health
Department must suffer 16 months
agoninng delay in its effort to look
toward a proper rehabilitation of its
unctions-because that's the way
things are done here Nearly every
one involved in the machinery OF ap-
preparation comedies the imperative
need for the estimate, but it must come
up in regular order
THE other factor concerns the
qualifications of our health officer.
The technique employed here in find
ing a suitable health officer was as
follows: The Commissioners appointed
an Advisory Committee, consisting Of
representatives from local medical
schools, the Medical Society and others
prominent in health work. This COM
mittee was non-political and non
partisan, and was stimulated by the
common desire to see that Washington
was provided with the best available
health officer in the United States.
The committee drew up a long list of
minimum qualifications which the new
health officer must possess.
"Questionnaires embodying these
qualifications were sent to a large
number of public health officials and
deans of schools of public health. in
cluding Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins
and others. When the replies were re-
ceived the astounding fact was re-
vealed that every one replying, without
a dissenting voice. had named DR..
Rutland as his first choice for the
standards of qualification set up by
the committee.
Big Job Admitted.
Following the advice of the COM
mittee, the Commissioners appointed
DR.. Rutland. non-political appoint
ment, on the basis of pure merit, to
do big job sorely needed in Wash
ington.
THE Medical Society and public
health leaders recognize that DR.. Ruh-
land is big time a feeling which
apparently local appropriating au-
thorities do not fully understand.
To them it would seem every new
official is bush-leaguer and must
prove himself in their presence and
to their satisfaction as capable of
doing intelligently and efficiently the
Evening star., 1935-07-14

thing that in this case every one who
knows anything about this field al
ready knows DR.. Rutland can do.
"Dr. Rutland took cut in salary
to come here at the earnest solicita-
tion of local leaders to do a big Job
which sorely needed doing. In my
opinion it must be keenly humiliating
to DR.. Rutland, a man with a ma
tional and international reputation
in his field, TO come here and find
that he must put up with petty bicker-
ing for picayunish appropriation,
the importance of which every one
admits.
THE Evening Star and Washington
Herald have the profound appreciation
Of the public-spirited citizens of
Washington for the fortnight pub
licity they are giving this matter in
the interest of the public good"

WALMS[EY FLAYS
DESERVING AIDES
New Orleans Mayor to Be
OuSted When Majority
Signs, Says Long.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, July 13.-Mayor
r. Semmes Walmsley, his political
back to the wall, today denounced his
former associates for deserting him for
dictator" Huey P Long and reiter-
ated his refusal to resign.
AS the sound of strife between Sen
ator Long and the mayor echoed
throughout the State, with anti-Long
men rallying to Walmsley as a last re-
sort, Norman Thomas, national So
cialist leader, threatened to come into
Louisiana and campaign against his
e-the-wealth program"
Most of Walmsley's city political
lieutenantS deserted him for Longs
ranks on the plea the step had to be
taken to save New Orleans from finan-
cial ruin.
Three of four city commissioners re-
queSted Walmsley to quit, and 13 of
his IT ward leaders made the same
request.
AS Walmsley was lambasting the
commissioners and Longs dictator
ship" Thomas threw down a new
threat to Long by announcing he
would stump Louisiana, and stump
with a sound-truck caravan against
the ''demagoguery. of Huey Longs
share-the wealth program"
Long. viSibly irritated over Thomas
plan, charged that President Roose-
welt. with whom he has broken polit-
ically, was sending Thomas to Louis
lana. Anyway. Thomas won't get
three people in Louisiana to listen to
him." the Senator said.
Meanwhile, the "old regulars"
Walmsley's political organization, went
forward with plans for a series of
citywide mass meetings next week to
circulate petitions demanding the
mayors resignation.
Senator Long has promised the "old
regulars" to call special session of
the Legislature to address Walmsley
out of Office within "a hours" after
the signatures of majority of the
voters of the city are attached to the
custer petitions.
Denouncing his former associates
for deserting him, and refusing to re-
sign, Walmsley shouted to the city
commissioners:
You wouldn't want to deal with
AL Capone. You can't deal with men
who have been called thieves and
crooks by each and every one of you
and then uphold your honor"

SWAMP MURDER"
SEARCH PRESSED
Police Seek Former Bur-
Iesque Dancer and Her
Chinese Lover.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. July 13-Authorities
pressed tonight for an "iron-clad"
case against all suspects in this city s
latest melodrama Of murder-the bru-
tai swamp Staying" of Erwin Lang.
Charles S. Dougherty, ace assistant
sumed charge of the investigation as
police continued their questioning of
the alleged buyer Of the murder,
Lang's 43-year mother-in-law.
Mrs. Blanche Dunkel.
On the basis Of her story to prose-
cutors that she paid Mrs. Evelyn
Smith, 35-year- former burlesque
dancer. 800 on $500 pledge for the
Staying, secret raids were made on
Chinatown in an attempt to apprehend
the one-time show girl and her
Chinese laundryman lover, Harry
Jung. They were also sought in other
cities.
Thousand Hiding Places.
TITS like looking for needle in a
haystack," said Detective Chief John
L. Sullivan, with Jung's connections
they have thousand possible hiding
places in Chinatowns all over the
United States"
New traces Of the pair were found
here. In a rooming house on On
tario street where the couple allegedly
stopped for "a hours after the slay-
ing, police discovered a shopping bag
they said the Smith woman owned.
Assistant Prosecutor Francis Nc
Currie said this and other evidence
and the purported story of Mrs. Dun
kel that Mrs Smith strangled Lang
in her apartment after he had been
made drunk and drugged would be
sufficient to send the trio to the
electric chair. Mrs. Dunkel told police
they said that Mrs. Smith sawed of
Lang's legs before his body was
dumped in swamp near Hammond,
Ind.
Find Pattern for Crime.
The possibility that a crime which
shocked New York 26 years ago pro-
vided a pattern for the swamp muir
der" was studied by Chicago police.
In a room occupied overnight by
Mrs Smith and Jung, the police found
a magazine account of the murder
in 1909 of Elsie Sigel, in New York's
Chinatown.
They found the two cases parallel
in many respects Elsie. grand
daughter Of Gen. Franz Sigel, was
drugged and then strangled.
Elsie's body was stuffed into q
trunk. Police believe a trunk was
used in the Lang case to conceal
Lang's body, with the legs cut of,
until it could be thrown into the
swamp.

a good deal before you can gather
the meaning OF the diplomatic
mopes of the State Department.
A typical example of this new
diplomatic method was last week
reply to Emperor Selassie's appeal to
the American Government to apply
the kellogg pact.
After due consideration and con-
Sultation, the State Department sent
a reply, which was interpreted here
and especially abroad that the Ameri-
can Government was washing its
hands of the whole thing.
When the reports started pouring
in from the diplomatic missions
abroad Secretary Hull was panied.
He certainly did not mean to imply
that this country was no longer in
terested in the Kellogg pact. This
was too realistic viewpoint.
Convinced Of Error.

British Ambassadors, who were reluc-

May Be Puppet King.
If Selassie wants to submit to this
he can maintain his throne in the
same manner the Sultan of Morocco
is still nominally the ruler of that
empire If he refuses 1t will be just
too bad. The Italians, supported in
directly by the British and the French,
will take over whatever they want,
leaving the rest to the other two
powers.
The British are realists. They have
fought all they could for the preser-
vation of the independence of the
ancient Ethiopian empire. But If it
must disappear they might just as
we'll get something out Of it.
Those in touch with Adds Ababa
say that Selassie Is determined to
fight. If he accepts the protectorate
he will be killed by his own people.
If he doesn't he hopes that a vigorous
resistance may embarrass Italy and
he may obtain better terms.
Americans May Fight.
There Is in Paris group of Ameri-
cans who suffer from the nostalgies
of war. They have fought in the
World War under the French and the
American flag.
When the war was over they re-
manned in France and offered their
services to whatever nation needed
them.
As soon as the ne1DS of conflict
betWeen Italy and Ethiopia came
out they became restless and nop
under the leadership OF Maj. Gran
uille Pollock they are ready to
fight for Emperor SelasSie.
The moving spirit of this group of
fighters, Col. Charles Sweeney, is not
with them at present. He is gold
mining in Idaho, but will rush to
Paris soon.
Sweeney is one of the last soldiers
OF fortune. He holds the rank of
colonel in the American, the
French and the Moroccan armies.
He serUed in the Foreign Legion
during the World War. Previous to
that he fought in Cdranz1'S army,
in Nicaragua and in Venezuela.
After the World War he fought
in Poland against the BolShepiStS,
and attempted to fight in Mustdpha
KenlaPs army, but iDas stopped in
ConStantinople by the British.

and the Rifflans broke out he organ

Lost Diplomacy.
Old-timers lament the passing of
the old-fashioned American shirt
