To Be Named Later
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSs.
President Roosevelt's selection Of
three of his six newly-authorized
administrative assistants today
brought into the spotlight an ad-
ministration economic advisor, q
civil service expert and a White
House handyman.
The first three named by the
President to the new SIC, ,000-a-year
jobs created in the reorganization
program were Lauchlin Currie, 81,
economist of the Federal Reserve
Board; William H. McReynolds, 81,
administrative assistant to the Sec
retary of the Treasury, and James
H. Rowe, jr., 30, assistant to Brig.
Gen. Edwin M. Watson of the White
House secretariat.
Three more assistants will be
named later, the six positions hav-
ing been created in accordance with
the well-remembered recommenda-
ton of the Brownlow report for six
presidential aides with passion for
anonymity"
Currie Offers Many Ideas.
The Currie appointment brings
directly to the White House for the
first time New Dealer who, though
seldom mentioned in print, has ad-
need many economic and none
tary ideas of the Roosevelt admins
tration. His ideas and work always
have been publicly sponsored by
Chairman Mariner S. Eccles of the
Federal Reserve Board, who shared
similar views.
The young economist, a native of
Nova Scotia, was among the college
professors who came here when Mr..
Roosevelt first took office. He had
been teaching money and banking
at Harvard, after getting his own
economic training in London, where
Maynard Keynes and other British
economists preached governmental
spending to counteract depression
long before the New Deal.
Mr.. McReynolds, a native of Kan
sas. has worked continuously for the
Government since 1905, climbing
without political aid from a job as
stenographer in the Post Office De-
partment to a White House desk.
Rowe Protege Of Corcoran.
He was chosen specifically to han
die Government personnel problems.
He is the father of the present Clas-
sificaticn Act for civil service en-
ployes and also helped draft reor-
ganization plans for Presidents Hoo
yer and Roosevelt.
Mr., McReynolds asked not to be
taken of his civil service Job in the
Treasury, but finally was appointed
with the assurance that he could re-
turn to civil service status when he
leaves the White House.
Mr. Rowe, former Reconstruction
Finance Corp. attorney, described as
protege Of Thomas Corcoran, a
New Deal adviser, came to the White
House originally as an assistant to
James Roosevelt when the latter was
on the Secretarial staff.
The exact duties of the assistants
have not been disclosed, but presum-
ably they will relieve the President
OF detailed lason work with Govern
ment agencies.

Holds Land Profits

Macdonald Declares
Tolls Alone Would Not
Pay for Projects
BY the Associated Press.

--e~S~-esss~ =
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of
the Public Roads Bureau, said today
the Nation could finance a set of
super-highways by profiting on. land
values increased by them.
Testifying before the Senate
Banking Committee on self -liquida-
ing project proposals in President
Roosevelt's new 10000, 900 Lend
ing program, Mr.. Macdonald said
tolls alone could not pay for such
roads.
His idea is to buy strips Of land
along the highway and then, after
the new road has shot up the value
OF adjacent land, to sell or rent
them profitably.
In addition, Mr.. Macdonald said,
States and municipalities might
agree to set aside part of their mo-
tor tax revenues to pay for the
roads.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
told the House Banking Committee,
meanwhile, that workers on
home relief were receiving more In
assistance than 4,O00,O 900 people uv-
Ing on farms were getting for their
labors.
Secretary Wallace, testifying on
the lending program, asserted 1,70O.-
100000 farm families are receiving
average incomes of less than $500 a
year, including food and other goods
produced for home use.
Nearly half this group had an
nual family incomes Of less than
$780," he said.
This meant that approximately
$1,000 farm people are trying to
exist on incomes of about 81 a week
per person"
THE people on relief are getting
more not working than these farm
people are getting for working, /"
Representative Patman, Democrat,
OF Texas, a committee member, COM
mented.
"As far as these 1000, 900 are con-
cerned it's true-much more" Mr..
Wallace added.
The lending program includes
$500, 100000 additional for self
liquidating farm tenancy loans.
The Senate committee entertained
proposal by Senator Clark, Demo-
crat, of Idaho, that 1t add 500 000.-

George Titler, the union secretary,
was charged with sedition, forcible
rebellion and armed attack on q Ma
tional Guardsman and banding and
confederating to intimidate-the
latter charge the same as that faced
by the others In custody.
A miner was killed and six other
men, including two troopers, were
either shot or beaten in the clash
yesterday at mine operating with
out union contract.
Mrs. Titler, arrested with her hus-
band, was released on $1,000 bond
provided by union attorneys. The
bond for the others arrested was
set at $1,000 each as they were ar
faigned In groups Of so. The trials
were set for Monday and Titler and
the others were returned to Jail.
A warrant on the banding and
confederating charge also was is
sued against William Turnblazer of

Mr.. Turnblazer was not in Harlan.
He announced Tuesday he had been

Case 10 Test Legality
OF Arrests Since D. T..
Is Without Funds
Officials Are Declared
Without Authority
In Financial Tieup

The question of the legality Of
arrests and prosecutions in the Dis
trict was scheduled to be raised In
Traffic Court today by an attorney
who contends agents Of the District
are employed illegally, since they
are working without funds being
provided for their salaries.
Attorney Leon M. Shinberg said
he would make a motion for dis
missal in the case of John Leo
Hanaway, 254 Eighth street Sc,
charged with failing to give the
right of way. Hanaway was arrested
Tuesday.
Declared Illegal Action.
Mr.. Shinberg said he would argue
before Judge John P. Mcmahon that
Policeman J. G. Russell Of No. Z
precinct, the Corporation Counsel's
office, in charge of the prosecution,
and that the judge himself were
functioning illegally, since it is un-
lawful to work for the Government
without salary being provided.
II Mr.. Shinberg's motion is granted
it would raise grave question as
to the legality of all arrests and
prosecutions since July /, the day
the 1939-40 fiscal year began. The
failure of Congress to provide for
the present fiscal year might mean
that all prisoners jailed under Police
Court sentences could obtain their
release on habeas corpus writs.
The question Of the legality Of ar
rests has been discussed at the court
since President Roosevelt expressed
his doubts several days ago as to
the legality Of the acts of the Dis
trict in view Of the fiscal situation.
Interim Appointments Cited.
However, some attorneys pointed
out that District attorneys and Fed
eral judges are named as interim
appointments and no money is pro-
vided for their salaries until they
are confirmed by the Senate.
In the cases of arrests, these at
torneys pointed out, ordinary citi-
zens can detain a person who COM
mits felony in his presence. and
yet this citizen receives no remun-
Grafton for this service.
