Official Washington is display
ing great interest =, in Presidential
polls these days. The one that
has attracted the most attention is
the poll recently completed by
newspapers served by Publishers
.Autocaster Service, which, reflect
ing as it does rural and small-town
opinion exclusively, is regarded as
highly significant. If there were a
wide variation between the results
shown by the different efforts to
get at croSs-section of national
political views at this time. Wash
ington might not be- so interested.
But when the Autocaster poll, the
Z Literary Digest poll, so far as its
preliminary results have been dis
closed, the Gallup poll, and the poll
taken a short time ago by Robert
J. Lucas, all agree within frac-
ton of one percent, and every one
of them shows marked decline in
the strength of President Roose-
velt's support, the total effect is
impressive.
All the polls agree in giving Mr..
Roosevelt still the best of it, by
approximately 50 percent to ~
percent. Even the most optimistic
of the Administrators political
soothsayers are now conceding
more or less openly that it looks as
if it would be. close election in
1856. However, a lot of things
can happen in a year.

FROM HERE ON

Some of the things which the
Presidents friends are hoping will
happen are strong up-swing in
business conditions, the failure Of
the Opposition to develop real lead
ership and subsistence of the thiro
party agitation. The latter con-
tingency, as things look now, car
probably be dismissed as unlikely
to be strongly enough concentrate
ed anywhere to affect the electoral
vote. -.r
As to leadership in the Repub-
lican Party, something may develop
at the annual meeting of the Re
publican National Committee to
be held here this month, which
will clarity the issues upon which
the Opposition will make its stand.
The man who succeeds in putting
forward program on which all
4 ukiicans can unite will GER
tainly show evidence Of leadership.
How to overcome the political ef-
feet of the AAA without losing
great blocks of farm votes is puz-
zle to which no Republican politi-
cal leader has SO far given the an
swer.
The strongest element in Mr..
Roosevelt's favor, as matters now
stand, is that business is definitely
improving and that all the signs
point to further improvement. The
stock market boom is not regarded
here as dangerous. Governor Ec-
cles of the Federal Reserve Board
pointed out the other day that i,
would not become dangerous until
stock market speculation reached
the point where it was being done

CHICAGO, Aug. II U.N.SJ.
The murder of Kenneth A. Nor
riSon, Chicago park official, re-
NAMED a deep mystery today as
all police theories were shattered.
Mr.. Morrison was found MUIR
dered. Thursday, propped up in
the back seat Of his automobile
with a cigarette butt showed in
his mouth. His pockets appar-
emily had been searched, but his
money had not been taken. Two
men were seen fleeing from the
car.
All Suspects Freed
Two suspects, one carrying a
revolver of the same caliber as
that used to kill Mr.. Morrison,
we're freed when ballistic experts
reported positively that the three
bullets that killed Mr.. Morrison
had not been fired from the
weapon,
Mrs. Madge Watson, 20,
comely brunette friend Of Mr..
Morrison and former employe OF
the Park Board where he was an
executive, was questioned by po'
lice yesterday and then released,
She said Mr.. Morrison had helped
her obtain a job but denied she
had ever carried on a love
affair with him.
Mr.. Morrison's wife assured pc.
lice that she was convinced there
was no other woman in his life.
Mrs. Watson's husband, Kenneth,
and Phillip Benson, a friend OF
Mrs. WatSon's. also were ques.
toned and released.
Now Suspect Gamblers
Police are now swinging to the
theory that Mr.. Morrison might
have been killed by gamblers. They
also were working on the pos
sibility that as auditor Of the park
board he had uncovered a short
age in some employees accounts
and had been killed to prevent ex.
poSure.
Mr.. Morrison's body was taken
to Buffalo, N. Y. for burial beside
the grave of his first wife.

the listeners in a funny manner
They pick up the refrain and sing
it back and forth with different
forms Of emphasis.
AS friend meets friend. instead
of the usual Salutation, they use
this phrase and laugh. 1t is
strange how some little catch
phrase will take the fancy Of a
picnic crowd. "Is everybody
happy" "Whooppee!" Eyes, we
have no bananas" are but a few
of the many phrases that have
caused much merrinent in this
country in the past few years
The various sections of the or
cheStra take up the theme, make
sport of it, and convert it into q
figure that leads into the second
section of the movement which
adds a note Of sadness for a time
But again the powerful mad music
plunges the whole orchestra into
a fury Of joy to bring the move
ment to loud ending.

HAMILTON, Ohio, Aug. II
G.N.SD.-Confession that h e
killed his mother five years ago
in Kentucky was made today to
Deputy Sheriff Charles Wake by
George w. Barrett, Lockland,
Ohio, who last night shot and
killed Nelson B. Klein, U. S. De-
partment of Justice agent who
sought to arrest him, Wake re-
vealed today.
Under heavy guard in a local
hospital with bullet wounds in
both legs, Barrett will be brought
to trial as soon as he is able,
for the murder of the Oman,
with the death penalty to be re-
quested, Federal agents said.
Shot Six Times
Barrett killed Oman Klein as
the latter and another Federal
agent, Donald McGovern. both
working out of Cincinnati, tried
to arrest him for automobile
theft. The shooting occurred at
College Corner on the Ohio-1ndl-
ana boundary, near here.
The slayer fired six .45-caliber
bullets at Klein, all of them TAX
ing effect. The Justice agent
opened fire as he fell, wounding
Barrett in each leg.
Confesses Crime
Barrett's confession to Deputy
Sheriff Wake that he killed his
own mother several years ago in
Kentucky was made from his hos
pital cot here, Wake said.
He quoted the slayer as saying {:
81 shot her in self-defense, to
save my own life"
Barrett's story was incoherent
and incomplete, Wake said. but
he gathered the shooting of the
mother occurred near Ashland,
KY. Wake did not learn the
mothers name.
Justice Agent Klein was the
fourth Oman to forfeit his life in
line of duty in the last two years.

WPA 'PAY0FF'
BELOW

Scores among 1929 men who to-
day received their first semi.
monthly pay for District Work
Progress Administration projects
discovered the So-called security
wage they were pledged for a year
is not so secure as it was pictured
Total payroll for the men was
$32,389. They were paid off along
with 5,818 persons on the ERA
rolls, which the WPA will engulf
eventually. The ERA workers re-
ceived $59,779. Scene of the pay.
off was the Municipal woodward,
Sixth Street and Constitution
Avenue Northwest.
Average pay for the WPA
workers totaled $21.18, which is
$1.32 less than the $45 a month
scale. District officials explained
this was brought about by "loSt
time"
It then developed that under
the so-called security wage pro,
gram of $45 a month, workmen
were docked for loss of time
when they were ill, although they
were paid when prevented from
working in inclement weather
and when material for their jobs
is lacking.
Those paid off under the WPA
program today were transferred
August / from work relief rolls.
Statistics show that approximately
1000 persons are on both the
current WPA and the work relief
rolls.
