Beaten Body Identified
As Missing Witness
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. 12.-
A man whose beaten body was
dumped in a shallow quicklime
grave was identified today as Irving
Mandel, A, described by Atlantic
County Prosecutor Joseph Altman
as a missing witness in a Federal
inquiry into racket charges against
Louis "Lepke" Buchalter.
Mr.. Altman said Mandel disap-
peared late in 1888 from Ben Mar
den's fashionable night club atop
the Jersey Palisades across the
Hudson River from New York City.
Since that time, Mr.. Altman
quoted Mandel's brother Benjamin,
who identified the body, the missing
man Travelled throughout the Nation
and seemed to be running away
from something"
The bullet-ridden, stabbed and
skull-crushed body. was unearthed
by hunting dogs last Wednesday.
It's identity was ascertained, Mr..
Altman said, when New York's De-
tective Johnny Broderick took a pic
ture of the reconstructed face
through sporting spots until the
brother, a ticket broker, recognized
it. The victims mouth of gold
$1,000 dental job-aided the
search, Mr.. Altman added.
Mr.. Altman said Irving Mandel

Plea for Democrats
To Name Wheeler
Senator Johnson Says
Roosevelt Should Not
Be Forced Into Sd Term

Declaring 1t was mot fair" to
President Roosevelt to demand that
he run for third term against his
will" Senator Edwin c. johnson
Democrat of Colorado reiterated to-
day that the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination be given to Senator
Wheeler of Montana.
Senator Wheeler, the Coloradoan
said, is an ardent liberal. Senator
Johnson, who is taking charge of
the Wheeler boom, said in a formal
statement:
II join Secretary Ickes and Sem
ator Norris in their desire that a
liberal Democrat be nominated. I
do not agree, however, with them
that man should be forced against
his will to run for third term.
I do not believe that the liberal
cause is so completely bankrupt in
candidates as that. I suggest Bur-
ton K. Wheeler for the considera-
ton of these nervous politicians.
Senator Wheeler's whole political
life has been closely identified with
the liberal cause. When great
liberal like Senator La Toilette in
troduced a resolution denouncing q
third term practically every Demo-
crat and every progressive, including
Senator Norris. voted for it. 1t is
silly to profess that there is an
emergency in this country that de-
mands the nomination of Mr.. Roose-
welt against his will. It is not fair
to him nor to the country"

Complaints on Food

To Be Investigated
Promise Given Students
After Discussion Of
Diumondbuck Editorial

An inquiry into complaints Of
University Of Maryland students re-
garding the food served in the COL
lege dining hall was promised yes
terday by Ralph Williams, assistant
dean Of men.
The promise was made to 800 stu
dents who met with Mr.. williams
to discuss an editorial regarding the
food situation which was published
several days ago in the Diamond
back, student newspaper.
At the same time, reports that
Allan c. Fisher. jr, editor Of the
Diamondback, would be suspended
were Gained by Mr.. Williams, who
said 1t was still a rumor so far as
he knew.
Last Saturday at the noon meal
many students waited three-quar-
tiers OF an hour for food" the edi-
torial declared. ut developed, that
there was not enough to eat and
a number of students left without
getting anything. Other individuals
have made no secret of the fact
that the meat and vegetables served
are often not thoroughly cooked,
while maintaining that leftovers
are frequently used. The worst
charge yet is that number of STU
dents have found worms in spinach
served at the dining hall. Witnesses
can be produced to verify these
charges"
Mr.. Williams said he believed that
complaints by the students about
food are annual occurrences at
most institutions where large groups
are fed" He nevertheless promised
an inquiry. He said an inspection OF
purchase invoices showed all of the
food bought was AL"
Complaints by the students queried
on the campus yesterday disclosed
that the crux of the situation
seemed to rest more with the prep
aration and serving of the food
rather than over its quality.
Last night, students leaving the
dining hall said they had enjoyed
swell dinner"

The Board Of Directors of the
Washington Board of Trade has
Endorsed the policy of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission of purchasing. we'll in adj
vance. land which is to be utilized
for park purposes, it was announced
today.
The action of the board was in
the form of an approval of a rec
ommendation made by the Board of
Trades Committee on Parks and
Reservations, Harvey L. Jones,
chairman.
The committee declared it be
lieves that the purchase of land
for park purposes in advance of
needs. when it may be acquired at
reasonable prices, is an intelligent
practice and that 1t is beneficial to
taxpayers and aids local officials in
carrying out the plans for the ulti-
mate development of this city"
In transmitting its recommends
tions to the board the Committee
on Parks and Reservations remind
ed it that a review of the study of
the organization of the National
Capital parks by H. S. Wagner and
Charles G. Sauers is now being
made by a special subcommittee OF
the main committee.
Calling attention to the inference
in the Wagner-Sauers report to
Secretary of Interior Ickes to the
effect that land purchases by the
Park and Planning Commission
should be curtailed and that more
money should be put into develop
ing land already owned, the COM
mittee expressed the view that adop.
ton of such policy would Sc.
riously hinder plans for development
of Washington. 1t claimed also
that such policy would be con-
trary to "well-established principles
which have been so evident since
the passage of the Capper- -Cramp.

guage to justify more limited con-
struction. s"' can think of no
reason why those who have lost
their jobs before there was any law
should be denied the protection
given to those who lose them after

He remarked that in his opinion
it was not necessary to answer the
specific question whether 1t was an
unfair practice to refuse, because
of their union activities, to employ
those who have never been en-
ployes."

This decision establishes basis
for bringing back the black list
against union members seeking en-

ut is a dangerous precedent to
become rooted in the body OF labor

that the law prohibits discrimina-

which would be permissible now
under the courts decision.

garding the affairs of United Artists,
in which they were associated But
on January IA. 1896, Miss Pickford
was given a final decree and less
than two months later Fairbanks
and Lady Ashley were married in
Paris.
Miss Pickford later was married
to Charles Buddy Rogers, actor
and orchestra leader.
Born in Denver.
Fairbanks was born in Denver
Colo, and was one of Broadway S
most scintillating juveniles before he
left the footlights for the Kleig
lights.
The handsome, acrobatic actor
made his first stage appearance at
the Academy of Music in Richmond
Va, September 10, 1900, as Florio
in THE Dukes Jester"
1t was two years later that he
came to Broadway, first seen there
as Glen Masters in Her Lord and
Master" 1t was in 1908 that he
really established himself as an actor
when he played Bud Haines in "A
Gentleman From Mississippi" a
part he played two years on tour.
Fairbanks attained such popu-
larity that when David Wark Crit
fifth persuaded him to enter the
movies, he began at $4,000 week.
His happy sense of virile comedy
and thrilling acrobatics--he fenced
villains and leaped from roof to root
in every early picture-whetted the
popular film taste and established a
new type of film.
Fairbanks rose to his greatest
fame after his marriage to Miss
Pickford. He began producing as a
member of Famous Players-Lasky
and later United Artists, in which
he was associated with D. w. Grit
fifth, Miss Pickford and Charles
Chaplin.
His greatest personal successes oil
the period were Robin Hood" THE
Mark of Zorro" "The Thief of Bag
dad" Don @. Son of Zorro" and
THE Three Musketeers." All were
characterized by his leaps from ever.

Among his efforts after talking

Fairbanks, Businessman,
Was His Last Dream

NEW YORK, Dec. IL (P.-Douglas
Fairbanks, sr., who was as brilliant
and suave off the screen as he was
on, died before he saw the full
Towering Of what he thought would
be his last connection with the silver
screen-Fairbanks the big business
man, not Fairbanks the actor.
Barely year ago, he started out
to produce pictures in their native
settings, rather than build sets of
papier-mache.
He had been partner in United
Artists for years, and his pictures
had made him millionaire when
he announced formation of Fair
banks International, a new picture
producing unit which he headed.
That was December 6, 1898.
At that time, he said paradoxical-
ly, he knew nothing about business
and that he was planning a gigantic
company that would film stories
throughout the world.
New Ideas Constantly.
"Why confine production of pic
lures to one place as it is mostly
done in Hollywood?" he asked
with the technical perfection you
have now you can produce pictures
most anywhere. So if a picture is
about Venice, why not make it In
Venice? If 1t is about Santa Fe
why not make it in Santa Fe?"
His brain was Whirlinp constantly
with new ideas-it was as active as
his body. Ideas fairly tumbled over
one another as he conjured ur
visions of his new life-that of big
businessman. No longer would ht
act.
He was so busy he couldn't even
remember the last picture he had
appeared In.
II can't remember" he said
"They came so fast and shooting
schedules were so involved"
