Blonde Secretary Tells
Schenck Financial Deals

NEW YORK, March ID tUP)-'
A tall. smartly- dressed blonde, his
secretary for 16 years. testified in
federal court today that Joseph M.
Schenck let 100000 to Willie BIZ
off. former west coast labor leader
and got the money back in cash in
late June. 1887.
The government contends that
Schenck, chairman of the 20th Gen.
tury Fox Films Corporation never
listed the 100000 for income tax
purposes. Schenck and his COM
pany's eastern representative, J. II.
MoskoWitz, are being tried on
charges that they eVaded payment
of S4l2,000 in taxes on Schenck's
l935-3637 income.
The witness. Ruth Nolander, told
u. S. Attorney Matthias F.. Correa
that she was custodian of a little
tin box in which Schenck kept
money and jewelry. Each day, she
said. she carried the box into
Schenck's office, turned the key,
and left it for his inspection.
In 1897 Bioff was a frequent visi-
tor TO Schenck's office and on one
occasion. late in June, she saw him
there. Schenek, she said, was count
ing money.
when he got to 100000, he
stopped Miss Nolander testified.
The money, she said, was placed
in a manila envelope, given to her

Rents in Defense
Areas Take Jump

SACRAMENTO. Cal. March Il
up - Rents have gone up as
much as so per cent in some na-
donal defense areas in California
and there is an acute need for a
eoordlnating agency such as the
state defense council to assist cities
and citizens during the emergency.
DIR. Samuel MAY of the University
OF California told legislators today.
The illness of Senator Irwin
Quinn prevented the senate mill
tary and veterans affairs commit
tee from considering Quinns bill
for a state defense council today.
but DR.. Nav informally discussed
problems that have confronted Gov.
Culbert Olsons unofficial defense
council, of which the educator Is
director.
Every passing week brings new
emergencies. particularly in the Il
defense areas of the state Nav
said. Housing costs have jumped
population has increased. and many
communities are finding It impos-
slble to cope with the financial
problems involved. California ranks
with Connecticut and New jersey
as the three states with the great
est problems because of defense"
DR.. May said he regretted that
The legislature had delayed action

said. was the last she ever saw or
heard of it. She said Sehenck gave
her no instructions about entering
the 100000 on the records.
Although he gave her no BOOK
keeping instructions about the
100000, Miss Nolan der said,
Schenck made her keep minute rec
ords of his housekeeping expenses.
The grocery bill for one month
was $57250, apparently relative
ly high figure, for Miss Nolander
attached to it note explaining
some of the items.
Dear Boss, the note said. This
is what you had to pay for grocer
les last month. Tt comes to little
more than $40 day and includes
Coca Cola, cigaretS. and caviar. And
remember, sir, you changed COOKS
three times during the month, and
each new cook when she comes has
certain staples. such as condiments,
which she thinks she can cook bet
ter with, and SO there is some du-
plication on those things. And re-
member, you had Mr.. and Mrs.
Harpo Marx there living with you
that time.

Of the number of planes involved

Draft Deferment
Held Too Liberal

WASHINGTON, Mar. IA. up
Many local draft boards will have
to reclassify selectiye service regis
trantS because they have been too
lenient in granting job and 'aar-
riage deferments, selective service
officials said today.
Many local boards have found
that they do not have enough men
in class 1-A-ready for active sery-
ice-to meet their quota. Officials
here said some local boards al
ready are "scraping the bottom of
the barrel for class IA regis
trants.
In addition to too many defer
ments, some local boards have found
that fewer men than anticipated
have yolnteered for induction -
this despite the fact that three year
army enlistments are higher than
at any other time in peacetime his
tory and the army is considering
placing '<eiling" on the number
of regular enlisted men it will
accept.

Security Formula

WASHINGTON, March ii CUP)
= President Roosevelt said today
that he is seeking a formula to ex-
tend the social security program
and to equalize benefits for aged
persons eligible for aid under the
federal-state system.
He predicted that developments
along this line might be anticipated
this spring. He said ne was con-
fident that the formula he seeks is
one that can be worked out.
Mr.. Roosevelt observed. however,
that achievement of Utopia cannot
be expected in a year. He said that
his plan called for a little broaden
ing of the program year by year,
with gradual equalization of bene-
tits for aged persons.

State Gets Additional
Funds for Polio Fight

DR.. r. H. Riley, director of the
State Department of Health, has been
notified by the Federal Government
that it would grant Maryland an addi-
tional $4,000 for care of poliomyelitis
victims.
General purpose of the funds is to
provide the best care for victims to
minimize paralysis and provide them
with the best chance of rehabilitation
In requesting the money to supple
ment $4,000 granted earlier in the
year by the Childrcn's Bureau of the
Department of Labor, DR.. Riley de-
clared; at has been estimated that
between 1900 and 5000 hospital days
will be required for the patients to
receive the fullest benefit of the serv-
ice offered"
Approximately IS of Maryland's
2O4 victims have ben placed in Balti-
more and District of Columbia hos
pitfalls for periods of two weeks or
more. Others have been treated in
their homes. The Department of
Health still is aiding in the care of
other children struck by infantile
paralysis as long ago as 1928.
The department, to supplement re-
Mobilization work in the Children's
hospital school, in Baltimore, will
call in physiotherapists from the
counties. Miss Grace M. Jones, Oak
land, will be called in probably the
first of December for a two-weeks'
period.
