Custer Of All W.P.A.
Political Workers
Asked by White
Senator Says Agency
Is DemoroIizine
Influence
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
Senator White, Republican, Of
Maine, a member of the Senate
Campaign Expenditures Committee,
called on authorities yesterday to
discharge every relief official OF
worker found to have used w. P. A.
for political purposes in the last
campaign.
The committee is scheduled to
meet tomorrow to consider final
reports on its campaign investiga-
tons.
Il think every one who knows
anything about 1t recognizes that
the w. P. A. has been a demoraliz-
ing and corrupting influence in
politics." Senator White said.
He attributed the blame for w. P.
A. political activity, which commits
tee Investigators have reported find
ing in several States, to the a6-
ministrative branch of the relief
organization.
Backs Sheppard Proposal.
II think" Senator White said,
that every official and every en-
ploye who has been using the w.
p. A. for political purposes ought
to be separated from the service"
He said he would support pro-
posal by Chairman Sheppard that
the Campaign Expenditure Com
mittee be made a permanent or
ganization to police" political cam
paigns and to recommend legisla-
ton to halt political corruption.
The Maine Senator suggested a
joint organization, with jurisdiction
over both House and senatorial
campaigns.
ut is a most difficult thing" he
pointed out. Ito build an organiza-
ton hurriedly from the ground up
and have an effective investigating
force and reach sound judgments
on what is going on in the face OF
more or less fragmentary evidence.
Nucleus Of Investigation Force.
There should be congressional
committee familiar not only with
the Federal but State statutes deal
ing with political corruption. If
such a committee were on a per-
manent basis, it could maintain the
nucleus of an investigation force.
"It could carry out its work with
q much smaller expenditure OF
money and much greater efiec-
tiveness in keeping informed on
what is going on
Senator White indicated he would
propose that the committee recon-
mend that Congress decide who
legally can contribute to political
funds and that it ask for a con-
gressional study of charges of politl-
cal abuse of the free mailing and
printing privileges.

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK ANNOUNCED
RADIO BRoADCASTS ARE TO
BE HEARD DURING
WEEK

Sunday, October 9, yesterday,
was the first day of Fire Proven
ton Week which is observed in
practically every section Of the
United States and an enthusiast
tic observance is expected, &C.
cording to letters received by
Chief Harry M. Baker, of the
Key West Fire I apartment, from
the National Board of Fire I'M
derwriters.
The chiefs letter indicates, in
the opinion of the board, that
special radio programs are being
arranged which will be heard,
and suggests that the chief ar
range with nearby stations a
broadcast from Key West.
1t is also suggested that
question and answer game be
arranged which could be pre-
sented before the Rotary or other
clubs, with four contestants to
answer the different questions,
long list of which is provided.
Chief Baker adds his voice to
the hundreds of others warning
against the many dangers of fire
and its terrible consequences.
Fire strikes with such appalling
suddenness" says the chief, that
people are apt to do many things
which are directly opposed to
safety"
Rules to keep in mind are
never to tamper with wiring or
fuses. Always disconnect APP
planes when finished with
them. Use only those appliances
and cords which bear the seal of
approval, and to employ a skilled
electrician for all repairing and
extending of wires.

New York Yankees Are
World Champions Again
Take Fourth Straight Con-
test From Cubs; Set Rec
ord Of Three Worlds Sc
ries Victories In Row
fspec.a1 10 The CITIZEN

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Lady
Luck and "Murderers' Row" rode
high yesterday afternoon at the
Yankee Stadium, with close to
$4,000 fans looking on. New York
Yankees snatched the fourth '38
Worlds Series game from Chi
cago Cubs, 8 to 3, and decided the
seasons issue right then and
there.
An error by shortstop urges i'll
the second inning set the scene
for Yankee three-run rally and
a lead they never relinquished.
A home run by O'Dea, after one
run had been scored, put the
Cubs close to the Yanks but they
never got any closer after that
fatal eighth. Hartnett sent in
pitcher after pitcher in a vain at
tempt to stem the tide of defeat
but the Yanks marched on to
put the game on ice with four
run rally.
In all, the Yanks collected IL
safeties off Lee, Root, Page,
French, Carleton and Dean. Red
Ruffing, victor of the opener con-
test, went the route for Muir
derers' Row, hanging up his sec
ond win. Bruins collected eight
bingles off his deliveries.
1t was the third straight
Worlds Series victory for New
York Yankees, thereby setting a
record that has never been made
in the history of baseball. Yes
terday's win was the fourth in a
row over the Cubs.
Difference between the teams
seemed to be that the Yanks took
advantage of every break
while the Cubs did not.
And so ends another baseball
season-one of the most hectic in
history.

LONDON.-After Hitler's Sun
day speech which warned Eng
land to keep hands off Germany's
political policy, English feeling
was running high today. Win
ston Churchill, who is believed to
be making a bid for the position
of prime minister on an anti-Hit-
Ter platform, will answer Hitler
in few days on an international
broadcast. Although Hitler has
started rehabilitation of his
large army he continues his de-
tense measures and England is
preparing to speed up its own on
the wave of high feeling now
prevalent in the British Isles.
Chamberlain meanwhile was at
tempting to strengthen the alli-
ance of England with Italy and
