Murphy Forecasts
More Indictments in
Foreign Agents Probe
Leaving White House,
He Declines Comment
On Soviet Relations
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

- Reporting to President Roosevelt
on the progress of the intensive in
vestigation by the Justice Depart
ment into activities Of foreign agents
in this country, Attorney General
Murphy said on leaving the White
House today that he expects to pre-
sent several cases of alleged viola
ton of the Registration Act to Dis
trio grand jury in the near future.
Referring to an indictment re-
turned yesterday by Federal grand
jury in New York City against Rob-
ert w. Wiener, national treasurer Of
the Communist party in the United
States, as an important step in the
departments campaign, Mr.: Murphy
predicted there would be a number
of additional indictments very
shortly. Wiener was indicted on
false passport charges, circum-
stances similar to those under which
Earl Browder, nominal head of the
party here. previously was indicted.
Three Lines of Inquiry.
Mr.. Murphy declined to discuss
the possibility that these indictments
against Communist officials might
be accorded important weight in de-
termining whether diplomatic rela-
tions with Soviet Russia should be
severed.
He explained that the Justice De-
partment is pressing its inquiry
along three principal lines: First,
possible violations of the Registra-
ton Act by foreign agents; second,
violations of income tax laws and
third, violations of passport laws.
1T was obvious last spring" the
Attorney General said, that activi-
ties of certain persons ought not to
go unnoticed or be tolerated when
their operations grow out Of allie
glance to another government.

Child Welfare Leader
Stresses Need Of
S243,000 More
Mrs. Gordon ExpIoins
Aims of Definite
Program

The need for an appropriation in
crease of approximately $243,0 900 to
carry out the full program of public
child care in the District of Colum-
bia was emphasized yesterday by
Mrs. Spencer Gordon, chairman Of
the Child Welfare Committee of the
Board of Public Welfare.
Mrs. Gordon, speaking at lunch
con meeting of the child welfare de-
partment of the Voteless District
of Columbia League of Women Vot-
ers, explained the aims of the def
mite program for child welfare
which was formulated as the re-
suit of recommendations made by
Jacob Kepecs, child welfare con-
sultant, working with the Citizens
Advisory Committee.
Adopted by the welfare board
last spring, the report recommend
ed unification of child care and CO.
ordination of activities of the well
fare work.
Progress Reviewed.
Mrs. Gordon reviewed the porgress
already made by the board in child
care work and pointed out the es-
tablishment of protective service
agency made possible by a granted
increase of $4,000. With this fund,
she explained, money was provided
for chief supervisor, a field work
supervisor. 10 field workers and an
Office staff of three persons.
An additional $1,000, she ex-
planned, has allowed the improve
ment of the "home- finders" service
in the division of child welfare by
additions to the staff, thus reducing
the case loads.
Under the assistant director OF
public welfare much already has
been accomplished in coordination
of activities, she said.
Limited by Funds.
The aim of the Board of Public
Welfare and the staff, she pointed
out. has been to carry out, whenever
possible. the recommendations of the
Kepecs report.
But" she added, 1--WE are limited,
of course, by the amount appro-
priated for the work. The increased
appropriation desired would allow
fulfllment of the entire program"
Mrs. Louis Gutenberg. member OF
the Child Welfare Review Advisory
Committee, traced the history of the
Kepecs report and reviewed the cir
cumstances and conditions which
made the survey necessary.
OF primary Importance, she said,
was the need of a co-ordinator of
child care activities. Mrs. Often
berg said the advisory committee
was to appear before the Budget
Bureau today in connection with the
report.

Their complete status has been the
subject of inquiry"
The Attorney General emphasized
that extreme care has been taken
to guard civil liberties from any war
hysteria and that no prosecutions are
being undertaken on the basis OF
political faiths or the writings or
speeches Of individuals.
Resolves to Uphold Law.
II personally deplore refusals to
let any one speak anywhere" he said,
but see no conflict In not excusing
violations of the law. Where there
have been such violations, the guilty
parties are going to be brought be-
fore the courts"
Closely related to the Justice De-
partment surveillance of espionage
and other foreign activities here
was a luncheon conference ar
ranged by the President today. His
guests were Col. E. r. Warner Nc
Cabe, chief of the Military Intelli-
gence Division of the War Depart
ment, and Maj. Percy G. Black,
former military attache at the
American Embassy in Berlin. Mai.
Black was official observer with the
German Army during its Polish
campaign and is now back in WASH
ington for a brief assignment with
the Military Intelligence Division
here.
Just prior to the luncheon the
President saw Secretary of War
Woodring.
Recall Deemed Unwise.
While demand for recall Of Am
baSSador Laurence A. Steinhardt
from Moscow for consultation, or
outright severance of diplomatic re-
lations with the Soviet government,
has been loud since the Russian in
vasion of Finland, officials here are
leaning to the opinion that such
action would not help Finland,
would deprive us of our best source
of information and contact with
Moscow and would impair our po-
tential influence to aid in effecting
peace.
At press conference yesterday
Secretary of State Hull said there
had been no discussion as yet of
extending combat zone restrictions
to cover Russian coastal areas not
now included nor of broadening the
moral embargo against sale of
war planes to the Soviet.

When the two have adjusted
their personalities to each other,
when they have established COM
mon interests and aims in life,
when they have developed emo
tionally as their years have de-
veloped. there Is no such thing as
a dangerous age.
Any domestic problems that
arise to test the adaptability of
the couple at this stage of married
life are as easy to solve as those
that arise at an earlier period.
Men and women who have not
matured mentally and emotionally
are likely to become restless at the
approach of middle age. II their
lives have not been complete and
satisfying, they are likely to want
another fling at excitement. The
immature individual usually leads
purposeless life. Lack of steady
purpose brings on the restless dis
turhance that drives the individual
to seek novelty.
What makes this situation more
tragic Is that novelty never salts
flies, 1t leads to more novelty and
more restlessness.
The middle-aged thrill seeker
finds latter he or she has stepped
beyond the bounds of propriety)
that casual outside contacts are
either unsatisfying or they lead to
new attachments that are unex-
pected and unwanted.
1t is almost never realized that
failure to realize happiness within
the marriage lies within the in
dividual himself. and all subsequent
attempts at happiness with another
individual are subject to the same
limitations.
The solution to restlessness and
dissatisfaction in marriage tat any

and revaluation OF the marriage al
ready contracted. But this requires

Salt Water
Relieves Fatigue

Many athletes make habit of
adding a little salt to their drink
ing water during contests. They
have found that replacing the salt
in the body lost through perspira-
ton maintains and conserves en-
ergy. A certain quantity of salt
is necessary in the system at all
times to assure the smooth work
ing Of the glands and when this
salt is lost, feeling of fatigue
results. Those who engage in ac-
tive sports during hot weather. as
well as the busy housewife, might
also find this simple practice
pleasant remedy for hot weather
fatigue.
