VXTASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Un-
w dercover information has
been received by the Justice De-
partment's Bureau of Investiga-
ton that a nationwide hunger
march is being organized secretly
in order to descend on the capital
simultaneously with congressional
consideration of the relief appro-
priation. The legislation is sched-
uled for discussion in April.
Among the things found by hench-
men of the late Huey Long when
his private files were examined
were batch of undated resigna-
tons from every Louisiana state
official of any consequence.
Speaker Joe Byrns takes no
chances of either offending news
men or revealing congressional Sc
crets.
Asked by a reporter if there were
2l5 signatures on the petition to
force vote on the Frazier-L emke
farm mortgage refnancing bill, he
replied: That's correct. But re-
member you guessed it, I didn't
tell you" -. Although members
received $25-a-day allowance,
the recent Miami meeting of the
executive council of the A. F. of L.
was not a financial success for
some of them. Reason: Poor
guess work at the race track. Sew
eral of the labor chiefs lost so
heavily they had to wire home
for more expense money.

The plan was for large corpora
tons, hostile to the New Deal, to
devote a portion of their advertis-
ing appropriation to political ads.
Attractive sample copy was pre-
pared and everything seemed set
for the scheme to go through,
when legal advisers pointed out
that pro-Administration stock
holders might file suit to enjoin
the expenditure of money in this
manner. The SCENE was dropped.

William Green, president of
the A. F. of L., cites the depress-
ing figures. Perhaps he is in
clined to paint the picture as
black as possible. Nevertheless
here are his figures:

was but 4 per cent higher.

Lewis Action Recalls
P|iqht Of Job|ess
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON Feb S.-Whie President John
w L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers has had
the unpleasant duty of rejecting offer by his
union to raise his salary from $4,000 year to
$25 900, the plight of many others in the ranks of
labor is even more unpleasant

must increase % per cent to absorb the unem-
ployed Therefore, says Green, millions will still
be joblesS when industry reaches normal again.
Here is the most discouraging sentence in Green's
report: mo solution is yet in sight"
GONE employment experts say that with 1929
- levels of business activity we would still have
100000 unemployed. In any event the number
would oe tremendous.
That is the fundamental fact in American politics
today. Tories can scream about the New Deal. In
f1ationists demand that the government start
more presses the government can harness the tides
at Passamaquoddy and even provide love seats and
self-quidating sTaTidfahers clocks for the workers
there But those all side issues so long mil
lions are doomed indefinitely to unemployment.
It is question whether the solution is one that
lies very much within the sphere of government &C
ton. The government can feed them and make work
for of them. But the place the jobs have be
created is in private industry Pump printing,
necessary doubt when business activity is at low
ebb, is not solution when business approaching
normal.
The most notable suggestion continues to be that
advanced by the Bookings Institution, namely that
unemployment is failure of capitalism and that the
chief hope is in feeding back the profits of private
initiative into the pool of consumer purchasing
power through lower prices and higher wages, SO
that more goods may be consumed, far beyond the
evel OF consumption reached in 1929 Such students
of the problem believe that it is within the power
of private industry to bring about the more album

~ charges that his Resettle-

down and unproductive, called his
regional directors to Washington
last week, gave them a fight talk,
and promised that bushels of red
tape would be thrown out of the

has moved into new office quarters
in the Barr Building, he rubs
shoulders with CT. o. P. Chairman
Henry Fletcher, who is also housed
there. Senator Nye has stated
privately he favors centralized
administration of all armed forces
under a single department of ma

Instead of Cabinet officers for
both War and Navy, there would
be only one secretary, with three
assistant secretaries for land
forces, naval forces, and air forces.
A bill to accomplish this has been
introduced by Rep. Boileau of

M0RGENTHAU
NAILS PIGEONS

Secretary Of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, jr., is out to nail the
pigeons who daily roost in the
sheltered porticos Of the Treasury
Building.
Unabashed as they conduct their
love affairs-and flights-in the
shelter of the building, the pigeons
have become a source of disturb
ance to Secretary Morgenthau and
the staff he has assembled to
ponder the Nations financial prob
lens.

Commissioners waged at the Dis

The large auditorium of the La
Dor Building was filled with en-
thuSiaStic followers of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Orchestra last
night as DR.. Walter Bauer guided
the ensemble through an admlra-
bly, arranged program featuring
Glenn Carow, pianist in a Men
delssohn concerto.
The disposition Of works dis
played last night might be held
up as a model for an interesting
concert. Opening with several light
and stimulating works such as the
march from algerian Suite"
(Saint-Saens), and the Dance Of
the Nymphs and Satyrs" (Schu'
MANN, led the listener up to the
more substantial fare of Schubert's
Unfinished Symphony" o.
The second course of the main
course was the Concerto in G
Minor for Piano and Orchestra"
(Mendelssohn), played by Glenn
Carow, Washington pianist. Mr..
Carow made a decided hit with
the audience in his careful teen
nique and continuity Of purpose
in interpreting the work. His phras-
ing was carved in delicate fashion
that showed much thought be-
hind it.
Strange to say, the orchestra
seemed to show up to the best ad-
vantage in the accompaniment to
the piano concerto. 1t may have
been the definite pitch of the fire.
quently heard piano when intlu-
enced many of the offending
strings and woodwinds to play in
better pitch and again it may have
been the unaccustomed effort of
rendering an accompaniment.
Although the Labor Building
hall holds more people, the or
chestra on previous occasions
sounded in much better pitch
when playing on the home grounds
of the Agriculture Building audi
torium. The fact that the latter
hall is air-conditioned may have
something to do with the finished
result. Or possibly the acoustics OF
the Labor Hall are too good.
On several occasions when the
violoncello section would start on
an interesting discourse, someone
would start to playing off pitch.
Likewise the oboe was probably
the worst offender in the wood
wind section. Then a French horn
player insisted upon entering the
argument several times with a
false tone.
In spite Of these marring ef
fectS, DR.. Bauer carried his part
with magnanimity and good
sense of Interpretation. One can
sympathize with a conductor of
partly amateur orchestra when
every instrument seems to be in
fine pitch in rehearsal, but when
faced with the excitement Of pub
lie appearance, tone of the players
will go sour.

DR.. Bauer served as dessert the
