Girl Chooses
SuicideOver
Discipline
Mother Sees Errant
Daughter Leap Off
District Bridge

Leona Beck, IS. decided she
would rather drown herself than
submit to strict family discipline
and jumped into the Potomac
River from the Key Bridge last
night. Her distracted mother, Mrs
Goldie Beck, saw her climb to the
rail and leap into the river a hun.

The harbor police have been
dragging the river for the body
all day.
Leona, according to the mother,
ran away two months ago but was
returned by the police. The girl
did not come home to supper
much of the time, the mother said,
adding that she had demonstrated
severely with her but to no pur.
pose.
Tells Of Tragedy
At about 8 o'clock last night,
the mother saw Leona sitting in
a car parked across from their
home in the 1900 block Wisconsin
Ave-, with Miss Hattie Gissel
140O block Wisconsin Ave-, and
Dan Childs, of Hyattsville. She
continued:
II called her to come in the
house. I told her she must quit
staying out so much and never
coming home to supper. How
ever, she did not come home.
but in a little while got out of
the car and started walking UP

R AMSPECK
BILL WINS
ENPL0YE
SUPPORT
Leaders Of Workers
Opposed Only to
ST 200 Figure

All major Government employee
organizations today joined in sup.
port of the Ramspeck bill to raise
salaries of $4,000 Federal workers.
but were unanimous in requesting
that the measure be amended to
carry a minimum salary provision
Of $500.
Luther Steward, president Of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, Charles I. Stengle Of
the American Federation Of Gov.
eminent Employees, and Jacob
Baker, provisional president of the
C. I. O.s United Federal workers
of America, expressed wholeheart~
ed approval of the bill.
Minimum Too Low
Steward, representing the oldest
group of organized Federal clerks,
declared:
Elm the main, the bills intro
duced by Representative Rams
peck, setting q $1,000 minimum
wage i'm the Federal service and
liberaIixing the retirement act
are progressive ana constructive
measures. However, with re.
spect to the wage bill, the N.
r. G. E. feels definitely that .
minimum of $1,000 for adult
full-time employees is too low.
"The N. F. F. E. long has adj
vOcated a $500 minimum wage
and we feel strongly that that
figure represents . point below
which the Federal pay scale
certainly should not drop. The
present schedules are indefenSi-
bly, low and the RamSpeck bill
is q step in the right direction.
Our feeling Is that when the
step is taken, the $500 level,
rather than the $1,000 level,
should be established"
Stewart said both the pay and
retirement bills would be dis
cusSed in detail' at the N. r. r,
E. convention in Springfield. Ill.,
early in September.
Colonel Stengle, A. F. G. E. preSi-
dent, declared he would support
both bills wholeheartedly," add.
ing:
This measure of Mr.. Ram
speck'S Is a step in the right d.
rectiOn, and will undoubtedly
help the lOw-paid in the service
far more than many realize IL
the next session of Congress acts
on it favOrabIy."
FAVORS $500 MINIMUM
Stengle likewise said $500
should be the minimum, pointing
out that his organization has set
that figure within its legislative
program during the past two con-
ventions.

REFERENDUM
ON COURT
SOUGHT
Gov,MurPhy Flies Here
To See Roosevelt on
Judicial Change
BY EARL GOODWIN

Gov. Frank Murphy, flying here
from Michigan and joining the
Presidents yacht Potomac" on
the bay later this afternoon, will
tell the President that in order
to save the Administration from
too severe a defeat in the matter
Of the Supreme Court, a consti.
tutional amendment should be in
troduced and placed before the
people of the country.
Governor Murphy will tell Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the people of
the country are ready for a liber-
allied Supreme Court, but that
they want it done by constitu-
tional amendment and methods
and not by the "forcible feeding"
methods of the court bill, which
has met with so severe beating
in the Senate.
Brown For 1t
It also is understood that Sem
ator Brown, of Michigan, is ready
to back such a proposal and will
be heard from on the matter in
the Senate next week, if present
plans are not sidetracked. It is
understood that, Governor Muir
phys suggestion, which may be
carried out in a constitutional
amendment, is for court with II
members and compulsory retire
ment at IS.
This is said to be the only con-
nection that the name of Governor
Murphy has to the Supreme Court,
although he was heavily "touted"
within the past few days as o
possible Supreme Court appointee.
It can be definitely denied, today,
that the President has Governor
Murphy in mind as a successor to
Judge Vandevanter.
Would Save Faces
However, the President and all
members Of his Cabinet and the
Administration gen orally are
deeply interested in saving the
Administration from any further
political defeat, and would be glad
to go through with any face-saving
motions that will not be too much |
of a retreat from their original
court position.
Governor Murphy, one of the
most vigorous New Dealers in
believes that the way to
save the Presidents plan in eS-
sence and gain, rather than lose,
politically, is to drop the legisla-
tive program for the court
changes-already med to
trouble and probable defeat-and
let American voters decide by
referenda, or otherwise, in the
various States, as provided for in
the Constitution.

SHIP CARGO
UNKNOWN
T0CAPTA|N
Skipper of Fire-Razed
Vessel Ignorant Of
Alcohol, Sugar

BALTIMORE, Nd, July Fl.
II didn't believe it possible that
my ship could ever burn, Fire
and boat drills were held twice
a week, and the crew were so
well trained I did not think we
could ever have serious fire."
A captain who believed in his
ship and his crew testified in a
hating voice before a Federal
board Of inquiry today that every
thing was in order on the City Of
Baltimore as she left the dock
to go down Chesapeake Bay
Thursday night; that the disci-
pline on the boat was perfect as
the crew launched five of its six
lifeboats, and that the fire-alarm
and sprinkler systems functioned
as intended, yet failed to prevent
the destruction of the boat by
flames which defied all human
precautions.
Ignorant of Cargo
As the investigation got under
way Capt. Charles o. Brooks, last
man to leave his ship, gave the
board of inquiry one additional
bit Of information which came as
. surprise:
He did mot know he carried an
infIammable cargo Of alcohol
and sugar, the explosive quality
of which is now believed to have
been responsible for the speed
with which the fire spread and
the rapidity with which the boat
was converted into a mass of
twisted wreckage.
Judge ]. F. staley, maritime ex-
pert Of the Department of JUS
tice, presided as the investigation
opened.
Others on Board
His associates on the board, ap.
pointed by Acting Director Halert
C. Shepherd of the Bureau Of
Marine Inspection and Naviga'
ton Of the Department Of Com
merce, are Comdr. H. N. Perham
of the Coast Guard and Eugene
C. Carlson, supervising inspector
for the bureau. They met in the
Chamber of Commerce.
Captain Brooks had been on the
stand but a few minutes when the
board asked whether he suspected
sabotage in connection with the
fire. He declared he did, saying:
II can only state it's a mystic"
riOus affair that a vessel Of thSt
size could take fire and in not
over five minutes flames be
bursting on the top deck all
over the ship"
He was asked by Judge Staley:
~DO you have anything more
definite than that?"
"Only as to what has been
happening along the waterfront
during the last few weeks"
"Have you had anything hap.
pen?"
81 had this happen, and I can
prove it by witnesses: There
were two C. I. o. men on my
ship a month ago. I do mot
know who they were or what
they were.
"My brother had had trouble
on his ship and came over and
told me about it. Several days

More Races Than Horses.

pEOPLE are beginning to wonder
if there wouldn't be more races
than good race horses. Can We breed
thoroughbreds fast enough to keep
pace?
Well, reams of paper are written
on the breeding and conformation of
the thoroughbred. Most Of it is waste
paper Horsemen don't care how q
horse is bred so long as he can run.
After every big stake breeding ex-
perts rush to the books to find how
many crosses Of Bend Or and St.
Simon the winner carries.
But they forget the number Of horses
in the unimportant last race the same
day which carry the same cross.
Most all thoroughbreds today are
well enough of in blood lines Breed
ers long ago learned there's no profit
in rearing underbred stock. Some
thing which means much more to
practical horsemen, although you hear
little mention of it, is action"
Action" just about makes the
horse. A few have been good despite
bad action" but they'd have beer
better with good action" Casual
railbirds may judge young horses
largely by the clock, but horsenen
extend a yearling just enough to see
his manner of going, how he covers
ground.
