gaining. Also the federation clings
to the hope that it can get wages
up and keep them up through
agreements of employees forced on
the employers through some sort of
MIRA.
AT the same time one hears or
reads continual denunciations of
the old NRA by business groups
and business leaders, so that it
seems incredible that there could be
in the NRA idea anything that
business wants.
TINE one thing which has made
Il all this impossible up to now
has been the Sherman antitrust
law But now the Sherman law
is pretty much in the discard so
far as the Administration and the
Department of Justice are con-
cerned.
And in the meantime all sorts of
movements are springing up in
numerous business and labor groups
to revive, not the MIRA, of course
but many of the features of the
NRA, and in particular the right
of business to unite to control trade
practices.
If business associations can do
this and at the same time keep
labor out of the problem they will
move heaven and earth to revive the
codes or most of them. The most
plausible idea in the world is this
one-that all sorts of dishonest and
unfair practices creep into business
(and that the most effective way to
be rid of them is to permit bust
ness men to organize to outlaw
these practices in their industries.
Unfortunately when business men
unite it turns out that what they
mean by trade practices" are those
things which keep competition
alive.
NF course there are a lot of
" things which are quite dis
reputable which ought to be
banned. But the big thing that
worries business men is what they
call "overproduction" and price
cutting" and competitive devices of
all sorts. ssroSsfssssf
Another thing that bothers them
is the entrance into their indus
try of too many newcomers. There
fore the thing they would like is
to obtain permission to get to-
gether to deal with trade prac-
tees" but under the guise of that
fair phrase to get control of the
productive and price mechanisms
of their industries.
All sorts of schemes are cooked
up to make this posSible-open
price filing and, very often, secret
price filing; following the lead Of
certain key producers in prices;
control of credit mechanisms to
make the way of newcomers diff
cult. All these subjects are soft
pedaled in the discussions, but they
are the real heart of the movement
to enable business to unite to deal
with sits problems" 1t is dan
gerous movement.

RIVER TOWNS
GROWING anew
AFTER FLOODS
Entire Ohio Valley Teens
With Activity; Trade
Is Stimulated.
Copyright, 1885, by United Press


HUNTINGTON, w. Va, April Is.
The productive Ohio River VAL
ley, winding from the heart of in
dustrial America through hundreds
of miles of fertile wheat and to-
bacco lands into the corn country,
is undergoing a reconstruction pc
Rod without parallel in % years.
The loss to the rich, thickly-
populated valley from the devastat-
ing flood that swept from Pitts
burgh to Cairo, Ill, late in March
is measured in hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Out of this devastation of nature
have come lasting benefits to the
Ohio Valley, however. These, gen.
orally, are in the form of concerted
planning for flood control, reha-
Utilization of waterfront areas, and
organization of public spirited
groups to help f1ood-wrecked COM
munities to come back"
Valleys Rebuild Quickly
Valley towns will come back"
rapidly. There have been at least
81 bad floods of the Ohio since
1883. Usually the valley residents
take their losses, rebuild quickly
and hope that the next one will be
less severe.
The 1886 floods have crystalized
flood control plans to greater de-
gree than at any time since 1918.
State officials and citizens are CO.
operating with the Federal govern
ment in plans to keep the "beauti-
full Ohio" in check.
The most important preventive
measure projected in the brief re-
construction period has been a
proposal to construct dams on
large tributaries to control the
flow of water into the Ohio. One
plan calls for construction of 80
such dams.
Army Approves IA Dams
Fourteen of the proposed 80
dams have the approval of Army
engineers, according to DR.. Charles
E. Holzer of Gallipolis, O., presi-
dent of the Ohio Valley Conserva-
ton and Flood Control Congress.
Such a flood control program
would require long planning if it
should be approved by Congress,
Months of surveys and planning,
probably costing $1,0O0,000, would
be needed. Roughly, the Ohio VAL
ley water control project would
cost from $75,O00.000 to 100000
900.
Several river towns also are con-
sidering building of flood walls.
Twice in the last three years, Ports
mouth, O., has escaped serious flood
damage because of its 100000 con-
crete wall which will hold back 81
feet of water.
Huntington May Build Wall
Huntington, city of $4,000 popu-
lation, which lost at least $3.50, 900
in the 1886 floods, is considering
construction of such a wall, to cost
approximately $3,5O0,00O. The city
would ask Federal financial aid for
the project
So effectively did Portsmouth's
three-mile flood wall hold back the
river two weeks ago that there was
no damage to the city although the
water stage would have covered a
large portion of the city without
the barrier. The cost of repairing
and strengthening the wall was

LOS ANGELES, May 6 Q.N.SJ,
Swollen deadly fang marks on the
exhumed body Of q bride was the
mute evidence called before the
grand jury here today by prose
cutors seeking to send two men
to the gallows for the "rattlesnake-
fish pond" murder in honeymoon
cottage.

tastic story Of how Mrs. Mary
Busch James was tortured by
angry rattleSnakes before she vas
drowned in a bathtub and her nude
body flung into a fish pond was
found by PSYCHOLOGISTS who ex-
humed her body. Blackened fang
marks were found on her left foot.
The two men who told the weird
story In partial confessions in
which they accused each other Of
the actual killing, ere Robert s..
James, much-married barber shop
proprietor and husband Of the vic
tim, and Charles Hope. an ex-
sailor.
Nine months ago the body of
Mrs. James was discovered in a
shallow fish-pond. She was the
fifth wife Of the barber, and had
been married only q few weeks.

UncleS, Cousins
Ruled Out of
Press Party

The White House has its points
but it also has its limitations.
And for that reason. there will
not be room for newspapermen's
whole families to come en- masse
to the annual party given by the
Roosevelts to newspaper reporters
on May II.
It was announced today that
where the newsmen are married
they bring their husbands and
wives, but unmarried women re-
porters may bring IAN" escort
each, and unmarried men may
bring their ladies. but, as the
announcement goes:
sowing to the limitations Of
space, it will be impossible to
bring fathers, mothers, daught-
erS, sons, brothers, sisters, aunts,
uncleS, cousins and house
guests"
The party is the fourth given
by the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt since they initiated the Gus
tom during their first year in the
White House. It will be the same
type Of informal dance that pre-
vailed in other years.

LOST PERSONS
UNIT OPENED

The Metropolitan Police have
added q missing persons bureau"
to the department, Major Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent Of po-
lice, announced.
Inspector Bernard w. Thomp-
son, chief Of detectives. in a re.
port submitted to Brown, dis
closed more than 1000 persons
were reported missing last year.
The reports thus far this year
indicate a greater number may
be recorded.
Delinquent minors, victims of
loss of memory and persons threat
ening suicide in the past have
been too numerous for the police
and the Women's Bureau to
handle, Major Brown declared.
Under the old system, patrol
men on the beats have been re-
quired to check hospitals, railroad
stations and airportS, in addition
to the homes of missing persons,
after the reports are furnished
police.
Although every effort is made
to locate missing persons, the
present force was thought made
uuate to handle the situation. BY
consolidating a unit in the
Women's Bureau and persons spe-
cially trained in social work in
the police department, Major
Brown believes a great need will
be filled.

allure with their homicide and having
q wonderful time of it. The roles
they have manufactured for their own
talents are strangely similar, even In
q dramatic season given to plot SINH
larities, and the chief difference Is
that Mr.. williams does the thing very
well, both as to writing and acting,
and Mr.. Vosper has the misfortune to
miss his opportunities in both fields.
In fact, Love From Stranger" in
stead of stealing some of the thunder
from might Must Fall" serves chiefly
to emphasize its merits by contrast.
There were observers who thought that
Mr.. Williams overacted. They should

overacting really is. There is
properly exciting last act in the Vosper
play, but it comes too late, and in
every other way the Williams psyche
logical thriller is infinitely superior.
In truth, it is the first good play Of
the season.
These 50 called psychological"
thrillers are, as you unquestionably
know. melodrama that are more con-
cerned with suggestions of terror than
with its more literal demonstration,
and with the soul-state of the killer
rather than with his actual deeds.
To be successful they must throw an
aura Of impending doom about the
proceedings, even when they are be-
ing light and casual. The scenes Of
peace and quiet must suggest unut-
terable horrors. and the humors must
not be Just comic relief, but must hint
Of the approach of malignant evil.
It seems to me that Might Must
Fall" does these things admirably,
but you should nevertheless be warned
that it is never chiefly concerned
with frightening you by q series of
terrible events 1t Is a character
study rather than q play of action,
and it Is the portrait of a killer and
the probings into the black recesses
Of his spirit, not any account Of his
deeds, that are of primary impor-
lance. Mr.. Williams has q rare and
sinister and shockingly beiievable
insight into the mental and emotional
processes Of his murderer, and it is
this, not any stage assassination, that
supplies the terror Of the play. As
matter of fact, began to grow
trifie worried about Mr.. Williams the
other night. He knows too much
about murderous psychopaths. 1t is
good thing he takes it out in acting
In plays he has written about them.

that Mr.. Voper Is merely an actor

killers surface charm with elfin en-
thusiasm and he demonstrates his
homicidal manias with the grimmest
Of thespian determination. The re.
suit is that you believe no more in

reality of his murderous instinct. He

you that when ! saw him playing the
