Born Propagandist.


ent kind of tentacle altogether, who
specialized in the publication and
distribution of cheap books on both
sides of the Atlantic. He was a born
educator and propagandist. His dis
tinctive excitement lay in that. For
that he lived. He it was who brought
down the price of paper covered
popular books in America to a dime.
To most people in those days a
change in the price of books seemed
trivial commercialism, but he had q
better imagination than that. It
meant a vast infiltration of rational
ideas into previously inert social
masses. 1t meant heightened social
awareness, step forward in the
awakening and release of the COM
mon man. Norvel had considera-
BILE genius for business; without any
loss of revolutionary zeal, he be-
came one of the controlling mag
mates in the paper world, and later,
when wood pulp ran short, he ex-
plotted the manufacture of paper
out of light metallic alloys, to the
great advantage of the party and
the inquiring common man.
In his earlier schemes Bodisham
had contemplated the development
of new daily newspapers as neces-
sary part of the common sense
movement. Then Rud and he had
found themselves doubling whether
the contemporary newspaper re-
tanned any political influence. 1t
had become more and more an
ephemeral advertisement sheet sea-
soned with news of crimes, catas-
trophies and gossip. It was slipping
away from the center Of collective
consciousness. As the big news
paper proprietors realized the fulfill
ity of their political ambitions, they
replaced political matter more and
more by distraction.
Many daily papers were little more

BERLIN, Jan. IA Q.N.S0.-Re-
ports published by the London
Daily Mirror that Max Schmeling
is Gin difficulties" with the Nazi
authorities met with an emphatic
denial today in the person of the
former heavyweight champion
himself.
With his wife, the blonde Amy
Ondra of film fame, Schmeling
attended a fight program at the
Berlin sports palast.
The London Daily Mirror story
hinted that Schmeling and his
wife had been questioned by Nazi
authorities as a result of remark
alleged to have been made by the
fighter about Propaganda Minis
ter Paul Joseph GoebbelS.
Max is alleged to have declared
that "he would break GoebbelS'
neck" if the Nazi leader tried to
become too friendly with his wife.

MIxUP FREES
MAN INDICTED
FOR LARCENY
Gets Out of District Jail
And Keeps Going

Robert W. Mickey" McManuS
Is certainly lucky
For he is under indictment for
grand larceny, but was released
from District Jail through a mix
up, and is believed to be far away
by now
McManus was arrested last
month and held in the Jail in de-
fault of $4,000 bond. Indicted. he
was brought into court on Janu-
ary 6 and entered a plea Of not
guilty.
NO HEARING
Then, in order to clear the
records, the Police Court charge
against McManus was nolle
pressed, since no hearing was
necessary because he had been
indicted.
The papers in the case we're
sent to the Jail, and McManus was
released on Thursday night.
And he didn't stop to inform the
Jail authorities that he was under
indictment. He just started and
kept on going.
WARRANT ISSUED
At the Jail it was said he was
released because no commitment
had been received for him, and
since the Police Court charge was
dismissed there was no reason TO
hold him. A bench warrant has
been issued for McManuS.

RACKETS ADD
TO MISERY OF
RELIEF SEEKER
Rob Genuine Charities
Of Funds They Need

The rise of racket agencies" to
take advantage of the problem Of
tranSientS who belong nowhere"
and who are suffering from
scarcity of relief resources, was
deplored in a gloomy picture of
the situation given by Mrs. Mar
garet Ford, executive secretary Of
the Travellers Aid Society, at a
meeting of its board of directors
yesterday.
Relief cuts in Washington and
other parts Of the country, she
said, have set adrift an increasing
numberof people who really want
to work, in addition to the Gus.
tomary "drifters."
The increase in the transient
problem here was revealed in Mrs.
Ford's report that the Travellers
Aid in the past three months
period had 1862 cases under care
-416 more than for the cores
ponding period of 1897. OF the
1862 cases, LOTT were on relief.
BUDGET INADEQUATE
Because of the budget cut,
forced by the Community Chest
campaign deficit, the Travellers
Aid must either reduce its assis-
tance of hopeful cases whose
problems can be solved by con-
Structive caSework, or let the pro-
gram Of the agency become an
over-the-counter Soup-kitchen af-
fair with no constructive results
for the community or for the per-
sons served" Mrs. Ford added:
1T has been an almost impos-
sible task, and during the winter
months, q cruel one-cruel to the
clients and cruel to the staff of
our agency who are forced to give
Sub-minimum care to those whom
VIC accept. Often with little or no
warning we are forced to diScon-
tinue care of those who we find
have no legal residence anywhere,
knowing as we do that there is no
help locally or in any other COM
munity for them"
RACKETS SPRING UP
Racket agencies" she said,
"are quick to seize the op-
portunitv to profit by this Situa-
ton, with the result that thou
sands OF dollars are solicited and
collected by individuals or organ
iZations who have no approved
program and who account to no
one as tc how the funds are
used"
Numerous kilograms and letters
from otner cities to the Travellers
Aid here authorized return of
stranded travellers but state that
no resources are available at home
for their care.

responsible for the four jobs, as
in each case they used a meat
cleaver to knock off the combina-
ton.
Two stores Of the chain have
been entered in the Northeast
section. and yesterday one was
broken into in the Northwest Sec
ton of the city.
The latest robbery was diScov.

Snow and icy streets combined

holdupmen hailed Luechs' cab

Northwest and asked to be driven
to Twenty-second and D Streets.
Near that point they forced the
driver to turn over his billfold and
the keys and flied, Luechs told
police.

diner in the 270O block of Nichols
Ave. s. E., reported a window of
the car was forced and candy.

store, told Sergt. w. T. Murphy
