Mans S Rights Held Violated
By Our Economic System

An economic system subject to
such drastic ups and downs as ours
is a direct violation of human
rights" John A. Abel, Marion, Ohio.
grand worthy president of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, said last
night.
Men have the right "to find work
that will pay him enough to support
himself and his family in decency
and comfort" he told members from
Washington, Virginia and Maryland
at the Raleigh Hotel. Eagles be-
lieve that our economic system can
be effectively safeguarded from
these ups and downs. On the
strength Of this belief we have for
mulated a plan to stabilize employ
ment."
He said the measure provides for
surveys, studies and investigation of
all economic problems so that the
Government can legislate 'intelli-
gently and effectively"

Jackson UphoIds F. B. |.
In Recruiting Arrests
By the Associated Press.


Attorney General Jackson says
that j. Edgar Hoover's Bureau Of
Investigation was innocent of any
misconduct in the recent arrest of II
persons charged with illegally re-
cruiting soldiers for the Spanish
Republican Army.
He made the statement yesterday
in reply to a letter from Senator
Norris, independent, Of Nebraska
who said he had information that
the IL arrested were treated like
criminals of the lowest type"
With reference to expressed fears
of some critics that the F. B. I. was
ranging far af1eld and would become
a threat to civil liberties, Mr.. Jack
son said the bureau would "conflne
its activities to the investigation of
the violation of Federal statutes, the
collecting Of evidence in cases in
which the United States is or may
be party in interest. and the serv-
ice OF process issued by the court"
I'm carrying out the program" he
said, II have asked and been prom.
ised the continued and efficient serv-
ice of Mr.. Hoover"
The arrests to which Senator Nor
ris referred occurred at Detroit and
Milwaukee in simultaneous pre-
dawn raids. On February "a Senator
Norris wrote the Department of
Justice in protest.
The cases were initiated by former
Attorney General Murphy just be-
fore he went to the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Jackson ordered the indictments
dismissed shortly after he assumed
Office, emphasizing his belief they
were unwarranted.

Auto License DeodIine Dictates
.72-7oqs-o-Minute Pace

Proceeding on the theory that
every District motorist wants his
1910 license plates before the dead
line, the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic faces the task of distributing
approximately II sets of tags per
minute during working hours be-
tween now and midnight March 81.
Department officials said $4,000
sets of tags were still on hand yes
terday, when the new plates Ozark
numerals on yellow backgrounO
appeared on the streets for the first
time. Only about $4,000 motorists
have claimed theirs.
A little figure-juggling disclosed
the department has about 157 work.
ing hours to do the rest Of the job.
This means the tag distributors must
set a pace of something over 100
tags per hour, or about u per
minute.
Right now they're running about
5000 behind schedule. Last year at
the corresponding point, $4,000 sets
had been obtained by motorists.
Tags officials urged motorists to
take advantage of the mailing service
instead of joining the last-minute
rush. Just add 10 cents to cover the
cost of mailing, and your tags will
be left at your front door. You may
obtain them across the counter at
the department, but you may be
forced to wait in line
The current tags are good until
midnight March 81, although they
carry an expiration date of February
%. Congress changed the expiration
date last year after the tags were
| issued.
