world peace.
A formal German protest followed
in Washington, and Secretary Of State
Hull yesterday made an informal ex-
preston Of regret.
La Guardia "besmirched" the United
States rather than Der Fuehrer, Hit
ler's own paper Voelkischer Beobachter
bitingly observed, for in q well-gov-
erned state such agitation would be
confined either to an asylum or q
penitentiary."
Other journals said the Washington
Government would not be able to
gloss over" this incident by pointing
out the Government has no control
over the speeches of an individual.
If laws permit an individual to en-
danger friendly relations with q
foreign country, then decided altera-
ton of such conditions would seem
imperative" one paper declared.

Describes Attack on La Guardia In
Berlin Press.

Berlin Press.
BERLIN, March (P.-The United

Washington a full report on structures

paper of DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels.
German minister of propaganda and
public enlightenment.
The embassy made no comment on
its report, forwarded to the State De-
partment.
Der Angriff, which yesterday filled
columns-as did other newspapers
with a stormy attack on Mayor La
Guardia personally for his Hall Of
Horrors" remark before meeting OF
Jewish women, today ran series OF
news photos intended to show New
York and the United States as the
land Of freedom-for all gangsters."
One picture showed a manacled
prisoner, bank robber No. /"

Another photograph purported to
depict the family of New York
slayer "kneeling at the gates of Sing
Sing" to give thanks to Jehovah and
his faithful servant, the Jew Gov.
Lehman" for saving the kinsman
from the electric chair.
The newspaper said Gov. Herbert
Lehman, La Guardia's bosom friend"
had seen to it that the man. whom
Angriff identified as a subway hold-up
killer, was allowed to remain alive"

La Guardia to ever new insults and

other liberty except that Of dying
silently of hunger in the gutter"
The new Nazi press outburst against

Marjorie, the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. John D. Longley, GOT Quackenbos
street. was waving gayly to the en-
gineer of the north-bound train,
witness said, when the other engine
hurled her from the tracks.
Evelyn. who lives at 612 Quintana
place, near Marjorie's home. and is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Byers, was on side track, within a
few feet of her chum, when the acci-
dent occurred.
Evelyn told police she did not know
whether Marjorie was concentrating
on walking the rails" at the time or
waving to the trainmen. She said
Marjorie had a fondness for trains,
and they sometimes walked along the
tracks to watch the engines and cars
whirl by.
The two girls had gone for a walk
after school. Evelyn said it was the
farthest they had ever hiked down the
tracks. The accident occurred at a
point about two miles from the girls
homes, near the Farragut street north
east overpass and mile north of the
Bates road crossing.

girls on the tracks
The engineer, Jacob Schroeder of
Cumberland. said he applied his brakes
and sounded the whistle. Witnesses
said the whistles of both trains seemed
to be blowing.
The two trains passed each other
near the point where Marjorie was
struck, and this circumstance appar.

PITTSBURGH, March b.-United

Of the booming steel industry. passed
along to the consumer today the wage
increase 1t granted employees three
days ago. b..
william A. Irwin, president of the
corporation whose employees on March
16 will receive a 10 per cent pay
boost for a 40-hour week, said sharp
rises in supplies and raw materials"
also had their part In advancing prices
So to So q ton, effective today.
The epochal wage agreement signed
Tuesday by Benjamin F. Fairless,
president of Carnegie Illinois Steel
Corp.-United States Steers biggest
subsidiary-reduced the work week
eight hours and provided time-and-a-
half pay for overtime.
One discordant note sounded in the
harmony that enveloped the industry:
The meeting in Pittsburgh OF partisans
OF the so-called company unions" to
discuss possibility of setting up q
rival union to combat John L. Lewis
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.
Materials Increase Cited.
Irwin, in making the announcement
of the new prices, said that although
advances to labor In the matter OF
higher wages and shorter hours are
a compelling factor, a price increase
was inevitable due to the fact that
quotations of scrap iron constituting
40 per cent of the makeup of steel
have risen from $l4S6 per ton to
$l988 since February J., 1886.
This 80 per cent rise in the cost
Of this principal item Of manufac-
ture has been accompanied by in
creases of over so per cent in the cost
OF copper, so per cent for lead and
zinc, 20 per cent for refactories and
corresponding increases in the cost
Of coal. limestone. ETC."
Typical increases included stand
ard rails from $50 to $42.50 q ton
and sheet bars from $34.50 to $3.50
/. ton.
Financial circles foresaw the an
nouncement as preSaging q general
increase throughout the industry, just
as most producers fell in line with the
trend toward higher wages.
y Upsurge Continues.
The upsurge in the industry. mount
ing steadily for months, was strongest
in recent weeks. lifting operations to
the highest level since October, 1929.
Observers had attributed this to ef-
forts to place orders before the new
prices were posted.
Some sheet mills in the Pittsburgh
district have backlogs which run as
high as 20 weeks, sufficient to carry
them through the second quarter.
Some sizes are not obtainable In less
than IS weeks.
Most Of this business, steel men
said, was taken on the basis Of prices
in effect at the time Of shipment, so
that the mills vii; obtain the benefit
Of the increases. Sheet price advances
posted today ranged from IS to So
ton.
The new quotations bring the gen.
eral level Of steel prices slightly higher
than prevailed in 1926. The basic
labor rate in Pittsburgh then was A
cents an hour: Tuesdays boost raises
it to o212 cents.

1T will be very interesting if the
President proceeds on those lines. I
do not, of course, know what the

Avoids Neutrality Question.
Mr.. King sought to steer clear Of
any discussion that might involve an
American domestic question and
therefore passed over the neutrality
problem other than to refer to his
own attitude expressed recently sin
an address to the Canadian Parlia-
ment. He pointed out that he came
here at the invitation of Mr.. Roose-
velt.

the nations of the world were like
what they are between the United
States and Canada" said the prime
minister. 1T would be better world

Lawrence waterway treaty, which the
Senate refused to ratify in 1884, was:
IF the President includes every
thing relating to the hemisphere, we
will get to that"
Premier King did not know def
nitely when he will leave Washington
for a week Of rest at an undetermined
place on the Atlantic Coast.
Discussing the visit Of the prime
minister, the President said at his
press conference today that they would
talk about a variety of subjects.
King will arrive at the White House
late In the afternoon and will be re.
ceived Informally by the President,
after which tea will be served. The
President has arranged for them to
dine alone and afterward to confer in
his study.
King will leave the White House
some time during the forenoon tomor-
row to become q guest at the Canadian
Legation here.
Earlier in the day the Canadian
Minister held press conference at
the Canadian Legation.
This Is not Mr.. Kings first visit to
the White House during the Roosevelt
administration. He was house guest
more than q year ago, and he and the
President are understood to have
formed warm personal friendship.
Premier King said he had been in
vited by the Chief Executive to talk
over matters Of mutual interest to the
United States and Canada"
Ofdcials were silent on what these
matters were, but there was specula-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt had de~-. mined
to press the st. Lawrence treaty issue
at this session and wished by personal
conversations to determine the Can
adian attitude.
Observers believed trade policies and
the international situation In general
also would be discussed.

POLICE HEAD HITS

Mai. Brown Differs With Jus.
tice Proctor on Numbers
Racket Protection.

Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent Of police, today challenged the
contention of District Court Justice
James M. Proctor that the chief figures
In the numbers game are protected
from arrest by the little fellows, 3"
usually runners.
Brown pointed to the arrests and
conviction of Sam Beard and his IL
associates and of Dutch Irwin and hve
colleagues on gambling charges as evi-
dence the "big shots" are being appre-
hended. He said:
Under the circumstances, think
we have the gambling situation pretty
well in hand. To strengthen our hand
we need the passage of the gaming bill
pending in Congress now"
Provision Of Proposed Law.
Present law requires police to pro-
duce in court as witnesses for the
State one or more persons who made a
play with the alleged gambler, Brown
said. The pending legislation, passed
twice by the Senate but rejected by
the House. would permit the Govern
ment to rest its case on exhibits Of
policy slips and gambling parapher-
MALTA.
Maj. Brown questioned Justice
Proctor's application of the definition
'little fellow" to the runner, who COL
lects the bets and makes 10 per cent
on the winnings of his clientele.
"A 10-cent bet might seem pretty
small" Brown said, but that doesn't
mean that the man handling 10-cent
bets Is a small operator. When the
runner is brought into court, he is
usually charged with having accepted
one bet and there is one witness, the
bettor, against him.
But the runner probably accepted
q hundred or more other 10-cent bets
during the day. Nothing is said about
that in court The emphasis Is on the
one 10-cent gamble, a fact which dis
torts the situation so that the runner
seems like small potatoes"

Police opened a major drive on the
