Dorothy Thompson S Views
Cut BY Radio Station
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-Dorothy
Thompson, columnist and radio
commentator, was cut off the air by
St. Louis radio station tKWK) last
night as she was discussing Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler's address to the
Reichstag.
Miss Thompson. speaking on a N.
B. C. program, had just accused the
NaZi chieftain of thinking only Of
his own prestige and not consider
ing the suffering to be caused the
German people when her talk was
interrupted.
Robert Convey, president of the
radio station. later confirmed in a
statement Miss Thompson was cut
off locally, but denied any censor
ship of news.
1T was our belief that Miss
Thompson was expressing some per-
sonal opinions and it does not seem,
in view of our pledge to the Federal
Communications Commission, in
view of present tension in interna- =
tional affairs and in view of the
N. A. b. code that anything but
reportial, matter would be in the
public interest" Mr.. Convey said.
Acting without precedent. we did
what we thought was in the best
public interest and we have referred
the matter to the N. A. B. and the
network for further consideration" I"

Owner Hunts Falcon
Thut Chased SturIinos

Alva G. Nye, jr., 5406 Connecticut
avenue NV, today was scanning the
sky and roof tops in a search for a
peregrine falcon, which darted away
yesterday when taken out for exer-
else and failed to return.
Just as it rose, Mr.. Nye said. a
flock of starlings passed and the
falcon darted off in pursuit. The
falcon. captured by Mr.. Nye nearly
two years ago near the Canadian
border, has been trained in Rock
Creek Park to catch crows, he ex-
planned, and a falcon very seldom
will go after anything except quarry
1t has been trained to hunt.
Mr.. Nye, who is employed as an
agent in the Bureau of Soil Conser-
vation. Department of Agriculture,
has four other falcons. The one
which disappeared is very tame and
eventually is likely to light on a roof
somewhere near Mr.. Nye's home, he
said.

A prepared address by the noted

Reports Increase
In Jobs Filled
Goin Shown in Every
Month Over Similar
Period Lost Yeor

A heavy increase in the number
of jobs filled through the District
Employment Center during the first
seven months of this year, as COM
pared with the same period last
year, was reported today.
With the peak occurring each
year in May, there has been a gain
every month over the corresponding
month of 1888.
During the seven months of 1899
the center placed 22,810 persons in
positions. The same months of
1898 showed 14,100 jobs supplied.
This was an increase of 61.7 per
cent.
In July 2,749 jobs were filled. as
compared to 1876 last year. Private
placements during July of this year
totaled 1859, as contrasted with
1888 during the same month last
year.
Jobs in domestic and service en-
ployment made up the greatest vol
ume. The largest percentage of in
crease in placements during July,
however, as compared with the same
month last year, was in the indus
trial and building trades division.

The Public Utilities Commission

OF $4l $3.50 over the present author
ization.
Yesterday 1t was revealed Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox. commanding
general of the National Guard. has
submitted estimates of $2.1l4,880 for
the next fiscal year. huge increase
over the $548,880 approved for the
current year.
At the same time. Rufus Lusk,
chairman of the Washington Tax
payers Association, issued a sharp
criticism of city department heads
who, he said, included in their
budget items they knew were i'm
possible to obtain because of the
limited revenue available.
IA New Positions.
The entire utilities increase is ac-
counted for by IA new positions and
some salary promotions. The new
posts would provide two engineers,
two inspectors, seven accountants
and auditors. an Investigator. a
clerk and chauffeur messenger.
The major item Of increase in
the National Guard budget was a
request for $1,5OO,OOO to continue
work on the new armory to be built
at the foot of East Capital street
at total cost of $2,750.OO0. An
item of $5O0,OO0 is available this
year.
Gen. Cox also asked for $500. .OOO
to equip the new structure and $210.-
900 for two garages and storehouses
at Camp Simms. This latter item, he
said, would keep the heavy vehicles
away from the new armory. Twenty
new positions are sought, mostly
clerical and custodial.
Letter to Hazen.
In letter to Commissioner
Hazen, Mr.. Lusk declared:
The department heads know full
we'll the Commissioners neither can
nor will approve any such drastic
upping Of our budget. If they did,
such approval would never get by
the Budget Bureau or Congress
It's the familiar old Army game
of passing the buck"
Mr.. Lusk said that instead OF
making requests that can be justi-
fled and financed. the department
heads dump everything on the Com
missioners to cut down to practical
amounts.

Bandits Escape
10 Lack Of
1wo-Way Radio
Would Have Trapped
z Fleeing With
$9,552, Police Soy

Detective sergeants said today
that two-way radio equipment might
have enabled them to close In on
the bandits who fed yesterday with
. $9,552 pay roll, the largest haul
here since 1892.
The car in which the two gunmen
escaped after holding up a mes
senger for the Charles H. Thomp-
kins Construction Co. at 907 Six
teenth street NV. sped by Police
man John A. Wright OF No. pre-
cinct in Rock Greek Park near the
P Street Bridge.
The policeman, who had picked
up the police broadcast describing
the bandit car. recognized several
numbers on the license plate and
swung his car about to give chase.
Before he could turn in traffic. how
ever, the other car had disappeared.
Trail Grows Cold.
Detectives pointed out that the
policeman, had his car been equipped
with sending apparatus, could have
called on other police machines to
converge on the road ahead. The
trail was cold before he could notify
headquarters by telephone where the
bandits were last seen.
Baltimore police and those In
other large cities have the two-way
radio system, it was said. One car
here was equipped with sending
set some time ago for experimental
| purposes.

parked across Sixteenth street NV.
The armed robber sprinted through

of the car and was driven west on

/ An immediate alarm was broad
cast and a dozen police cars equip
ped with radio receiving apparatus
joined the search. Police got several

Red Cross Awaits
Geneva Advices
On Aid in War
Davis Asks for Doto
On Hospitals and
Medical Supplies

The American Red Cross today
awaited advices from international
headquarters in Geneva on what
assistance might be rendered by this
branch of the order to those involved
in European hostilities.
Addressing the International Com
mittee yesterday by cable. Norman
H. Davis, American chairman
asked for particular information on
the kind of hospital and medical
supplies most needed by foreign So
cieties.
Although there is no immediate
plan for sending American ambu-
lance units abroad. as was done in
the early stages of the last war,
Mr. Davis said the names of hun
dreds of men and women who
already have volunteered for foreign
service as nurses, doctors and am
bulance drivers are being kept on
file.
One of the first domestic activities
of the Red Cross. he said, will be
to assist in the repatriation OF
American citizens fleeing Europe
Red Cross workers are meeting re-
turning ships, he explained, to prof
fer this aid.
The character and extent of the
| relief which the American Rec
Cross, and through it the American
people, may give to the stricken
populations of the belligerent coun-
tries will depend upon the needs ano
requests of the nations involved
and upon the response of the Ameri-
can people to an appeal in their be-
half" Mr.. Davis said.
The Red Cross is not interested
in the origins of the present conflict
Our entire interest is concentrated
on the terrible human suffering
which will follow in the path OF
bombing planes and the marching
armies. AS part of the great In
ternational Red Cross it is our duty
to do what we can to aid the help
less women. children and old men
who will suffer during these hostih-
ties"
