while he was being held for trial
in connection with a human hair
swindle. Subsequently Musica be-
came a stool pigeon for the district
attorneys office and uncovered
''evidence" which was used against
Joseph Cohen.
Police Inspector Michael F. Nc
Dermott. head of the Brooklyn de-
tective bureau, announced that he
planned TO talk with relatives Of
the two brothers and may also
attempt to question the surviving
Musica brothers.
Police said that If the Cohens
knew that CoSter, head of the
reliable drug firm. was really Musi-
ca they would have had strong
motives to make use of that infor-
nation.
If they had threatened him with
exposure or made other demands,
police said, Musica might easily
have been forced to take drastic
measures to silence them.
Benjamin Simon. an agent Of
CoSter was arrested last night and
neld on charges of violating the
securities act and mail fraud.
Simon apparently had known all
along OF Coster-MuSica's true iden-

filed for the Musica brothers al
Washington, D. C., as being the
/ home of Adele Virnard, midwife, :"
who supposedly attended their
births. Actually, Philip Musica, was
born in Italy in 1877.
Simon was charged with violat-
ing the Sherman antitrust law in
Aug 1928, but was acquitted. He
was charged under the same law
in 1929 and convicted, but received
a suspended sentence and placed
on probation for five years. He
was fined for dealing in poultry
without a license in May 1898, but
| the fine was remitted a month
later and he was given a license.
1t was believed that Simon had
been a gobetween for Coster- -Musica
in munitions and possibly other
schemes by which he hoped to
repay the money stolen from Nc

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SPENDING A FALSE CURE

II is becoming increasingly apparent that the
New Deal can think of nothing with which 10 hgh'
the new depression but resumption OF heaVy gov
eminent spending. Pump printing is coming Oach
into favor-for that matter II never has been OUT
of favor with some of the presidents advisors. For
time they were held in check. Now they are
once more showing their hands ana WITH co''H'
cradle apparent support.
But exactly what is there TO thihK Ih"l
pump printing or any other form of heavy govern
mental expenditures will help restore prosperity!
1t may help bring back fictitious and unhealthy
form Of activity, but unless we can meanwhile en-
courage private business, then there will be an
other letdown when the pump printing stops. Even
tually it will have to stop if to avoid dis
astrous initiation.
The New Deal seems to see alternative TO
heavy government spending, nevertheless there is
one. 1t is to remove the obstacles that prevent
resumption of business activity To some extent
congress is trying accomplish this, but its efforts
are handicapped when it gets help from The
White House.
We have tried pump printing and it has 1ailed'
why not now try the other method? That means
not lust breathing spell, but genuine effort to
encourage private initiative. 1t would involve re-
forms of the tax system, cessation OF the con-
tinual attacks upon business and the continuing
veering from right to left and from left to right,
some disposition to recognize that perhaps, after
all, business men are not all crooks.
There is grave danger that congress will agree
to some form of heavy spending. 1t has already
approved the extension of RFC loans to business,
an expedient Of doubtful value 1t is likely to APP
prove further schemes for loans to cities and other
means of handing out federal funds. A campaign
is coming and politicians, unless restrained by
clear public demand, are always pleased to hand
out public money to their constituents. Already
We are told that the proposed new expenditures
are being referred to in Washington as the cam
paign fund"
Certain additions to relief expenditures no doubt
will be necessary, but they should be kept as low
as possible, not looked upon as desirable means
of producing recovery. The more money is wasted
OF spent needlessly the greater will be the burdens
business and industry must carry in fighting their
way back to ultimate recOvery.-Saginaw, Mich,
News.
