James Casey, formerly man.
aging editor of the Daily
Worker, the Comintern or

resigned as a member of the
Communist Party and as a
Congressional candidate be-
cause of what he termed the
party leaders "hypocritical
tactics"
Declaring that the Com

merely named a Presiden-
tial ticket to prevent an open
revolt among the members, "
Casey accused the Bureau of
formulating a program to
Swing the support of its
membership and affiliated
mass organizations to Presi-

Casey also said:

struggle by a lone Windsor con.

admirer of John Dillinger, who
escaped, handcuffed, from two
Canadian officers Thursday, to-
day said he was glad to be back
in jail' as he ate the first food
he has had in the three days he
was a fugitive.
During the time he was with
out food or water, and ironically,
in his pocket he had a quarter
he was afraid to spend.
Bisaga, wanted for long list
of crimes in Detroit across the
international border, gave up
without resistance last night as
Constable Chris Padget stopped
him in an alley.

Padget disclosed, explaining that
"aS soon as I noticed his wrists,
swollen way up his arms, knew
he was Bisaga."

VISITED
BY PRESIDENT
ON BIRTHDAY
BY GEORGE DURNO

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 81
G.N.S0.-President Roosevelt ar.
rived here at 1880 CE.S.TO this
morning and motored Immediately
to his family estate on the Hud-
son for an anniversary breakfast
with his mother.
Today was the eighty-second
birthday of Mrs. Sarah Delano
Roosevelt This evening, at dinner,
there was to be a more formal
celebration of the event, with Mrs.
Anna Roosevelt Boettiger and
John Roosevelt, only daughter and
youngest son of the President,
present with few intimate
friends of the family.
It was anticipated during the
day that the President would an
nounce appointment Of at least a
temporary majority working per-
sonnet of the new Maritime Com
mission. There has been much
pressure from shipping circles to
get this agency started in that an
act Of the last Congress set it up
to handle direct subsidies in the
place Of ocean mail subsidies and
also act generally as the I. C. c.
of the American Merchant Marine,
will Name Three
Advance reports we're that Mr..
Roosevelt would name three high
ranking officers from the military
establishment to start the i'm
portant work of the commission.
Eventually five must be appoint
ed in all but it was understood
permanent appointments would
be made after election.
Admiral William Harrison
STANDBY, chief of naval opera
tons who retires automatically on
December 10, when he reaches
the arbitrary age limit of g.,
was said to be one of those who
would take over the advance
work of working out a new
merchant marine subsidy basis.
Rear Admiral Harry G. Ham
let, who has been commandant
of the Coast Guard for some
time, was said to be second
choice.
Branch Mentioned
A third was understood to be
Col. Julian Schley, Army En-
gineer Corps, who recently COM
pleted a tour Of duty as Governor
of the Panama Canal Zone.
There was a hitch to this ap-
pointment, however, due to an
Army regulation which prohibits
any officer from holding another
job.
Harlee Branch, Second Assis-
tant Postmaster General, was
mentioned prominently as a pos
Sible member of the temporary
threeman board should regula-
tionS prevent designation of any
of the others.
Behind him in Washington the
President had left two newly
named committees, one to work
out system of crop insurance for
the farmers and the other to pre-
pare a long range program that
would produce most effective land
utilization in the drought areas.
These committees significantly
had been named just in advance

Landon, Republican presidential

First, protection of the indi-

the hazards of crop failure or

When alone. the two girls al

and Emily II when their mother,
then q widow Of 20, remarked,
neither girl had any affection for
the man who was all they had
ever known as a father. But both
loved the little brother who ar
rived without welcome from his
parents some years later. Henry
Mason was handsome and at that
time successful. His StepdaughterS
hated and a little feared him. 1N
their childhood he earned well as
a small contractor and builder.
Their mother always spoke Of him
as an architect" And, in fact, he
had graduated from some obscure
small-town Southern college. He
never lived down his pretense to
culture and background. He spoke
of his family as though it were
closely connected with royalty.
Aunt Esther, his sister, had neat
competence from well invested
Government bonds. The other
brother was a minister and che
rest defied argument as to their
greatness since they had died at
birth.
In four years, Henry Mason had
earned practically nothing. He.
his wife and their 10-year-old son
lived on Nell's salary. He loathed
