Here And
There

Scarce had the millifulOus tones
of Mr.. ROOsevelt's Jackson Day
speech ceased before the critics
were at him.
This, of course, is nothing new.
For many months, not a citizen
of our country has been able to
voice an opinion about anything
that has not reused instant and
violent opposition.
It's all very confusing and per-
picking to the man in the street.
One thing is crystal clear to
him.
Economically he is left between
the Devil and the Deep Sea. Condi-
lions are getting no better fast.
Those upon whose actions he must
depend for solution of the difficulty
are succeeding in about the same
way.
Is there no. honesty and de-
pendability anywhere? Is it true,
as limited by his critics, that the
President is prOstituting his high
office and great power to his own
ambitions for power?
Is it true that Big Business, with
deliberatiOn, is retarding recovery
so that it can continue to dominate
over the destiny of the rest of the
country?
Both of these contentious are
true if the critics may be believed.
But can they? The man in the
street doesn't know what to be-
lieve. The truth probably lies some
where between.
The manner in which the Presi-
dent uses his great influence and
power and the manner in which
Big Business exercises its immense
control of affairs are both essen
tial components in the field of re-
covery.
Instead then, of coming together
in a spirit of Cancellation with a
mutual desire to find a middle
ground upon which to unite and to
give best aid and effective CO.
operation to remedial measures,
each is content to berate the other
and through fulsOme appeals to the
public secure endorsement of its
own actions.
In spite of this conflict of opin-
ions there has been a gradual up
turn in conditions necessary for
recovery-unemployment has no
ticeably been reduced and it
seemed at long last we were def
nitely on our way out of the
morass of economic retardation.
Then out of a clear sky came
the new recession threatening the
loss of all that has been gained.
Whereat the arguments have

MISSING BOY, Il

Search for 15-year-old Philip
Duvall, of 1920 Ninth st. N. W.,
was extended into the South to
day by police after his mother,
Mrs. Ida Duvall, did bit Of de
tective work herself over the week
end and came up with a clue to
his possible whereabouts.
Interrogating several OF her
sons playmates, Mrs. Duval dis
covered her son had been talking
with several friends about making
a bicycle trip to Florida. He disap
peared from his home Friday and
last was seen going into a movie
on upper Fourteenth st. N. w.
"He painted over his bicycle
just a little while ago." his dis
traught mother said, from red
to aluminium. It ought to be
easy to spot a boy on such a
bicycle"
A student at Paul Junior High
School, the boy has been depressed
since the death of his father last
Christmas. He wore long tar
trousers, a blue shirt and baseball
cap when last seen. He had very
little money, his mother said.

A half dozen States today itched
to get their hands on Floyd Ham
ilton and Theron Huron Ted"
Walters who went North as a
couple of bad men and came back
home like tramps.
Ragged, dirty and just about
broke, the pair fell into the hands
of police early yesterday after a
three-month career in outlawry
throughout most of the Mississippi
Valley.
Neither was armed. And all the
fight had been taken out of them
by the constant pursuit of G-Men
from whom they managed to es-
cape only a short time before.
Both had boaSted they would
carry on the bloody tradition of
the BarrWos-Parker gang of
which Floyd's brother, Ray, had
been a member. But in the end
they were collared like "the couple
of punks" local police held them
to be.
Walters was snatched up as he
was trudging along the road. They
found Hamilton in the railroad
yards trying to beat his way out
Of town on a freight train.
They had $11.24 between them
to show for the dozens of auto
mobile thefts and robberies which
officers said they admitted

bullet wound in his knee. Hamil

shot and killed Edward Solomon,

he accused of wrecking his home.
Sikora stood over his victim's
body until police arrived. At de-
tective headquarters he told this
story:
For some time Solomon has
been running around with my
wife, Margaret. He worked in
the same office she did before
we were married.
Finally, Margaret left me
and went to live with a girl
friend. I went to see Solomon
and pleaded with him to stay
away from my wife. He laughed
at me.
u tried every other way I
knew, but failed to break up the
affair. So I took the only re-
naming way"
Mrs. Sikora, a brunette, wa!

She said:
II loved Eddie Solomon wildly,
more than anything in the
world. We were to be married.
MY husband promised me a di-
vorce, but wouldn't go through
with it. That's why I left him.

One Can Even Buy
Sandwich, But
It's Difficult
Nv JAMES I. CULLINANE

BY JAMES ]. CULLINANE
The sandwich business at Mr..
Francis McGuigan's modest little
restaurant at 1854 Bladensburg
Rd. N. E., has doomed to record
breaking proportions during the
heat wave.
While other restaurant mana
gers were taring their hair over
the exodus from the city of their
best cash customers Saturday, Mr..
McGuigans assistants were court
ing heat prosttation trying to find
parking space for his clients.
MANSION. HOT, STUFFY
Behind the high board fence
which surrounds Mr.. McGuigan'S
restaurant just across the District
Line on Bladensburg Rd. N. E..
299 cars were parked Saturday
afternoon while the temperature
was hottest.
The big rambling old mansion
which houses Mr.. McGuigans
modest little sandwich buildings
was hot and stuffy as the pas
sengers of the cars sweated to
get rid, Of their cash.
Prince Georges county officials
say they haven't the faintest idea
why Mr.. McGuigan's sandwich
business flourishes so when other
roadside stands are struggling to
lure customers inside with air
cooling, moderniStic furniture and
other convenienceS.
GOOD TAXPAYER
But they do know that Mr.. Nc
Guigan is a good taxpayer. Early
in the spring he appeared in Marl-
boro to take out his restaurant IL
cense and paid $10.50 for it with
out protest.
At the same time he paid $3.50
for a traders license and $3.50
for license to sell cigarettes.

He might even have to hire an
other waitress to help the only
woman in the establishment to
make more sandwiches.
Visitors who have been admitted
to Mr.. McGuigan's restaurant say
they lost their appetites for sand
wiches before they left. They
lost their bankrolls too, a lot of
the visitors say.
Dice which refuse to get hot
even on the hottest day will take
away a mans appetite quicker
than anything else in the world,

GIVEN ARMED GUARDS
Police authorities in Washington
have charged time and again that
"Jimmy's Place" is a clearing
house for numbers game operators,
but no mention of numbers is
made on Mr.. McGuigan's traders
license"
At night, when tired business
men relax at Mr.. McGuigan's res
taurant, one section of the park
ing lot has to be set aside for taxi
cabs.
It is said that when one Of the
restaurants patrons acquires a
large bankroll and sudden appe-
tite to get back to the city and
safety the management will supply
him with armed guards to see that
no harm befalls him.
CHAUFFEUR SERVICE
Another feature of the manage
ment of McGuigan's restaurant
is the fact that even customers
who have lost both their appe-
tites and their bankrollS will be
given enough to get back to Wash
ington.
Old patrons of the restaurant
are treated with tender Solicitude.
When their appetites become too
keen to be whetted in the more
conservative establishments in
Washington they can go to a
rendezvous on Ninth Street. There
they find cars with chauffeurs
waiting to drive them to 1854
BladenSburg Rd.
Only patrons who have lost
their appetites before at the
Bladensburg Road restaurant are
accorded this special service, as a
rule. However, an old customer
can bring q friend along.

FAIRBANKS PIONEERS OPPOSE
 ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE

Before a large gathering of Fairbanks Pioneers Of Alaska at a recent monthly meeting a resolution condemning the proposal for a one house legislature for the Territory of Alaska was adopted.
 Introduced and read before the meeting, the resolution was heartily endorsed by nearly all of the so or more Pioneers in the hall. According to R. c. Rothenburg. secretary of the organization. copies of the reso- ution were mailed to all Igloos in the Territory.
 The resolution against the pro posed one-house legislature follows in full:
 WHEREAS, the Pioneers of Al aska are composed of men who have lived many years in the Territory and have seen the Territory develop to it's present status; and
 WHEREAS. all Pioneers remem- Der the long and hard battle which residents of the Territory waged to secure the present Territorial form of government under the Organic Act including a two-house legisla- ture; and
 WHEREAS. a proposal has been placed before the people. by the Ter ritory asking for an expression of opinion on the advisability of sub stituting a one-house legislature for a two-house legislature; and
 WHEREAS, no advantage exists in favor of a one-house legislature which can not be had under the two house system, and the tWo-house legislature has been developed as a distinct part of the American form of government. both in the United States and the forty-eight states which compose the Union; and
 WHEREAS, it is the opinion of this Igloo No of the Pioneers of Alaska that the two-house legisla- ture should be preserved in the Ter ritory and that the one-house leg islature is not suitable to the needs and does not fit the requirements Of the Territory and the adoption of the proposal for one-house leg islature would not be in the inter ests of the residents of the Terri tory
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE- SOLVED:
 That it is the sense of this Igloo that the proposal for a one-house legislature should be, and it is hereby condemned
