GOOD AND BAD
IN NEW DEAL"
SAYS LEADER
Outgoing President OF United
States Chamber OF Commerce
Definitely Optimistic
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
United Press. Staff Correspondent

OIhttu I-ECoSs OtdlI SOITcSpoIutflt
WASHINGTON, April 30. - The
United States Chamber of Com
merce today found good and bad
sound and unsound-side by side in
President Roosevelt IS recovery pro-
gram.
Conservative, white-haired Henry
I. Hartman, outgoing president,
summed up thusly the conclusions
of the nations leading industrial
lists at their 23rd annual meeting:
GAS I discuss with business men
the measures comprising the new
deal' I am impressed with the fact
that the chief objection is not to
t he basic principles underlying
many of these measures, but to the
extremes TO which they have been
carried. The new deal has at
tempted much that is good, but it
has tried to do tco much in too
short a time.
cit has forgotten that gradual
growth and development is the law
of life and that great changes
should come through the evolution
of human experience.
He outlined for the 1000 dele
gates the accomplishments and the
failure of the "new deal,' check
ing the good against the bad, SO
that apparently they balanced al
most exactly.
Other speakers were not SO dis
passionate. G. B. Ames, chairman
of the Texas company, said the
people were tired of "the bungling
effort of Washington bureaucracy
to regiment business. A. o. Daw-
son, president of the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce, indicated
his membership dreaded a threat
ened spread of "new deal' policies
to his majesty's IS government in the
north.
Despite his qualms over such
measures as the new banking BILL
the social securities program and
the pending NRA legislation, Har-
riman definitely was optimistic ov-
er business for the first time since
election of Mr.. Roosevelt.
He welcomed widespread criticism
of the administration, he said, as
an indication that the depths have
been reached-and scaled.

River in which nearly $4,000 was
seized, of which $4,000 has been
recovered in the mysterious charnel
house known as the old Weldel-
schaefer mansion.
The "criminal factory will yield
from $4,000 to $4,000 more of the
criminal rings earnings, federal
authorities said.
The daring 100000 armored var
robbery in Brooklyn last fall, exc
cuted by a dozen gangsters with the
precision of an army.
A $4,000 robbery in Butler, Pa.
Robbery of the American Ex-
press company at Perth Amboy, N

Murder of Andino Merola, for
mer gang member who threatened

STATE TAKES HAND IN PARKER DAM DISPUTE
Committee Opposes Major Revenue Suggestion
Court Decision
Not To Hinder
Canal Project

Action Of the U. S. supreme
court in halting further work on
Parker dam will have no effect on
construction work of the Imperial
dam and desilting works, it was
stated at irrigation district head
quarters this morning. The reason
for this, it was pointed out, is that
provisions for the construction of
the Imperial dam and works had
been made in the original program
which called for the construction
of Boulder Dam and the All-Am-
erican canal.
Parker dam, against which SO
much agitation has been carried on
by Arizona officials, is intended to
provide a reservoir in the Colorado
river for the Metropolitan Water
Districts aqueduct to carry water

Released In kidnapping Case
Late Today

TUCSON, April 30. U,P)-Possi-
bility that the June Robles kidnap-
ing case may be "broken' late to-
day was Indicated by Assistant U. S.
Attorney K. Berry Peterson in an
announcement he would have "an
important story this afternoon.
Peterson declined to divulge what
the "story' would be but since
all cases to come before the grand
jury, except the Robles case. we're
of minor Importance, it was be-
lieved his announcement would in
volve that case.
At the same time, it was report
eel the department of justice, which
has been working on the kidnapping
for more than a year, was investi-
eating the theory that $4,000 actu-
ally was paid the abductors of the
little girl to effect her release from
the iron Fcoffin' in which she
was confined in the desert near
here for 19 days. The agents, it
was understood, learned that but
$4,000 of the SIS 900 raised by Fer
nando Robles, June's father, was
re-deposited in a local bank.
The grand jury, which began its
work this morning, was hearing ev-
idence in a number Of minor cases
involving MeXicans and Indians
from nearby border towns and res
ervations.
1t was believed presentation of
evidence in the Robles case was de-
layed to permit receipt of a report
from federal experts in Washington
on the handwriting of a Tucson
clerk, as compared with that of the
ransom notes.
Federal men indicated they would
attempt to build an alright case
against Oscar H. Robson, No. suS-
pect, when they submit their find
ings to the jury.
Robson, arrested last November
in Phoenix, and subsequently re-
leased on bond, was accused by
"G" men of writing one of the

June IS parents. The suspect, long
time personal friend and schoolmate
