RAVAGES OF FIRE

To the last II months, approx.
mately 10000 persons have been
burned to death. One-third of them
were children.
Two-thirds of all the victims
perishd in residence and apart
ment fires.
Read that over again. If any,
thing can awaken the American
people to the gravity of the fire
problem, that brief statement
should. If you have strong
stomach, think of those 10000
roasted bodies. And then realize
that at least eighty per cent of
fires, big and little fires alike,
could easily have been prevented.
1t is a human fra lty to read such
a statement as this, reflect for
moment on the horror of it, and
then forget it with the mentally
made observation that Well. my
home is safe, . Perhaps your home
Is. But there's better than an
even chance it contains hazards
that you don't know about.

Justice Orsdel Says Govern

Greater Right T h a n
Humblest Litigant; Gov
eminent Desires Test in
Bond and Share Test Suit

Washington, June % (AP) The gov
eminent lost in the District of Column
ula Court of Appeals today in its et-
forts to delay trial of injunction suits
brought by seven utility companies
against the Wheeler-Rayburn holding
company law.
The court reversed a stay order en-
tered in the case several months ago
by Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
Justice Bailey granted the stay aft
er Attorney General Cummings had
argued that litigation brought by the
government in New York against the
Electric Bond Fond and Share Com
pany would thoroughly test constitu-
tionality of the holding company law.
Cummings plea that "mliitipll-
city of suits" brought by utility inter-
ests threatened to break down the ma
chinery of the Department of Justice
failed to win over the appellate court.
Speaking for it, Associate Justice
Josiah II. Van Orsdel said issues
raised in the cases were not all iden-
teal with those in the Bond and
Share company.
"Thc government of the United
States as a litigant has no greater
right than the humblest litigant," said
the opinion.

Modify Rule
For Getting

ToLift Requirement
Of Beng on Dole
Prior to November:
| Last Year

Washington, June % (AP)-An Or
der to be issued this week by the
Works Progress Administration will
lift the requirement that a person
must have been on the dole prior to
November 1 in order to obtain a
WPA job.
Officials said today that state WPA
administrators thereafter would de-
eide which of those eligible for local
relief and able to work would get
jobs, regardless of when they went on
the dole.
Lifting of the previous requirement.
originally adopted to prevent COM
munities from certifying an excessive
number of unemployed for WPA work
was forecast severla months ago by
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins.
Officials said the present rule re-
curing that a person must be on re-
lief or certified for relief to be elig-
IDLE for WPA employment will be
continued.
Explaining that under the new ST.
425,OOO,OOO work relief appropriation,
not more than 100000 persons could
be given jobs, they added the rule is
to be continued, although a large
number of the unemployed will not be
eligible for Federal help under it.

amid predictions by leaders that the

demand for the reputation of Pres

One after another New Dealers in
command of the situation here step

shake their heads sadly over what
they called his mistaken course.
Among the delegates arriving for
the convention, opening tomorrow,
none thus far has arisen to support
the statement in which Smith and
four other anti-New Deal Democrats
called on the convention to put aside
Mr. Roosevelt anG nominate "Some
genuine Democrat" for President.
Chairman James A. Farley's usual
broad smile faded when he was asked

BUSINESS GAIN IS
FEARED ARTIFICIAL
Improvement Great, but
Question Mark Is How
Long 1t Will Last
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT has
been great. Business leaders do not
question that for one moment.
The real question is "How long will
it last?"
Many economists answer, cas- long
as the inflationary process lasts"
Then, the queetioD is "How long
will that be?'
And the answer is, who can tell?'
Well, what is the "infationary pro-
cess?
Borrowing and spending, bonuses
and credit expansion.
Suppose we should not have that ?
There would be sharp contraction.
Whereupon, the average citizen
asks. as there no solution?"
And the average economist shrugs
his shoulders and remarks, Eyes
widespread distribution of the profits
of production, ETC."
DIVIDENDS
"Total dividend payments will in
crease in 1886 for the third consecu-
tive wear" says the Alexander Ham
ilton Institute. "Dividends should
show a gain of nearly II per cent over
1885 and 40 per cent over the depres-
sion's low"
And "income from production SO far
this year indicates further increase
in dividend payments in 1887
RECOVERY
Here are some surprising state
ments from the Alexander Hamilton
Institute:
"Only five countries have erperi-
enced a greater Industrial recovery
from the low of the depression than
the United States. The United States,
however, is further away from all re-
covery than all countries, with the ex-
ception of four. This is accounted for
by the severity of the depression in
the United States.
"Only Poland and Germany suffer

Secretary Wallace Wants
Democratic Platform To
Give That Assur-
ance to Farmer
NEW FORM OF AID
FOR AGRICULTURE
Writers of Document in
Agreement on Soil Ferti-
lily, Reciprocal Trade
Agreement, Commodity
Loans, Higher Wages and
Other Issues To Be Sup
ported

Philadelphia, June 22.-(AP)-Dem-
ocratic platform builders faced this
question today:
Should the party promise the far
mer a system Of insurance against
disasters like floods and droughts.
Authoritative sources said Secretary
Wallace wanted crop insurance as a
new form of Federal aid to agricul-
ture, and that he also desired endorse
ment of the principle of crop control.
Some other highly placed New
Dealers were said to believe no men
ton should be made of these ideas
specifically, and that language of the
farm plank would be broad and gen
eral.
A tentative draft Of the farm PLANK,
said to be in the hands of Senator
Wagner, of New York, prospective
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee, has omitted both crop insurance
and production control.
Administration sources reported
that there was general agreement up
on these suggestions:
Preservation of soil fertility
Continuation of the reciprocal trade
agreement policy.
Encouragement of farm cooperative
organizations.
Enlargement of the domestic mar
ket through increase of industrial
wages.
Endorsement of commodity loans.
Provision of credit to combat farm
tenancy by enabling qualified tenants
to buy their own farms.

Montreaux, Switzerland, June o.
(AP)-Turkey went before an inter

four-point plan which informed sour

against fortification of the Dardanel-

The conference, called at Turkeys
