The Roosevelt program, Mr. Hoover

BY IRVING F. LASH. @
To every newspaper man, or at least
90 44-l00 per cent Of them, comes q
time when he thinks he will peck out
a novel-the great American novel.
Usually he never quite gets around
to it.
The time came to Clyde Brion Da-

Story Of Homer Zigler.
For those who haven't read 1.-THE

Homer Zigler. He becomes involved

Mr.. Davis, although himself lately

WAGE-HOUR CHIEF
TOBE NAMED SOON
Several Bureaus in Labor
Department Already Are
Beginning Work.

Appointment Of an administrator to
direct operation of the new wage hour
law was expected within the next few
days IS the period Of grace before its
application to most Of the Nation s
interstate commerce began to shorten.
Signed by President Roosevelt last
Saturday, the law becomes binding on
October "a, calling at that time for a
basic wage Of IS cents and a maximum
work week Of ~ hours.
Although several bureaus of the
Labor Department, where ultimate ad-
ministrative responsibility is vested,
already have started to accumulate
material and set up plans for their
part in applying the law, the extensive
duties attached to the administrator s
office makes it essential that the ap-
pointee be named soon.
Among the important and most
pressing tasks facing the administrator
will be the appointment OF industry
committees-compos Of representa-
tives Of employers. employees and the
public-to make recommendations fol-
specific standards for their particular
industries. Public hearings are to be
held in connection with these commit.
tee deliberations. with consideration
given all circumstances bearing on the
industry In question.
The hope that standards above the
basic ones will be ready for several
major industries by October "A adds tc
the necessity Of haste in getting this
machinery started
1t is estimated that 200. 900 worker,
will benefit by application of the initial
wage provisions next fall, with a con.
siderably greater number being placed
on shorter working week.

Examine Spy Witnesses
in Germany.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-An accuse
ton that Leon G.. Turrou, former G.
man, allowed a fugitive from the Gov
ernment's spy hunt to escape was
coupled yesterday with a proposal that

the order, Mr.. Dix asserted that testi-
mony of DR.. Ignatz Griebl and Carl
Schleuter, both fugitives from the
United States. would completely exon
crate Miss Hofmann," a hair dresser
on the German liner Europa. De-.
Believes Claim Substantiated.
The attorney also said he believed
their statements would "substantiate
her claims that Agent Turrou allowed
DR.. Griebl to escape in order to deprive
her Of = witness who would have testi-
ned in her favor"
DR.. Griebl and Schleuter were in
dicted with Miss Hofmann and Is
others, including three German mill

CAPITAL WATCHES
PRIMARIES TODAY
Nye-L anger Feud Up at Polls
in North Dakota-Indiana
Caucuses Tonight.
By the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
Two Midwestern senatorial contests
aroused interest in the Capital today
because of their potential bearing on
President Roosevelt's appeal for clear
cut iberal-conservative battles.
One was in North Dakota, where
Senator Nye-frequently q Roosevelt
supporter-was opposed in, the Re-
publican primary by Gov. William
LANCER
The other is in Indiana, where Re-
publican delegates to a State conven-
ton will caucus tonight before select
ing their senatorial candidate tomor-
row. The question Of national inter-
est was whether the convention would
take any stand on the independent
candidacy of Senator Van Nuys, anti
administration Democrat
The President and his immediate ad-
visers have taken no public part in
the Nye-Langer contest, which is OUT
side their own party. A factor indi-
eating they might have more than q
passing concern in the outcome, how
ever, was Senator Nye's Endorsement
by two ardent New Dealers-Senators
Bone, Democrat, OF Washington and
Norris. independent. of Nebraska.
Their advocacy of their colleague s
denomination preceded by a few weeks
Mr.. Roosevelt's request last Friday
that voters Of all parties consider the
liberalism of men for whom they vote
No Hint Given.
There has not been the slightest hint
as to whether Senator Nye-in the
event Of his denomination today
might get any open or tacit admins
tration aid against the Democratic
candidate. Mr.. Roosevelt went outside
Democratic ranks in 1895 to advocate
Senator Norris reelection. Senator
Nye, like the Nebraskan, often has
joined Midwestern Progressives and
Farmer-Laborites in voting with ad
ministration Democrats. He has not
been 100 per cent for Roosevelt poll
cies. however, for he has favored q
mandatory neutrality law and other
peace legislation not on the President,
progrAm.
The Indiana senatorial battle appar-
emily will find two candidates labeled
conservatives lighting Democrat
friendly to the national administra.
ton. The latter will be chosen next
month at a State convention domi.
mated by the party organization un.
friendly to Senator Van Nuys.
Some Republicans have proposed
that their own convention indorse Sen.
ator Van Nuys because of his opposi
tion to the court bill and other Roose.

No Headway Made.
That movement, however. has no,
gathered much headway, and the con.
vention is expected to choose anon,
