Sherwood, displaying emotion

WORK OF PAPERS
N CRISIS TOLD
Feeling of Confidence in
. Face of Crisis Fostered
By Newspapers
NEW YORK, —(f)— The part
that newspapers have played dur
ing the present crisis was outlined
Thursday by Louis Wiley, business
manager of The New York Times,
in an address before the Cham
ber of Commerce of the State of
New York,
He said that had there been no
newspapers to teil of “the various
developments in Washington dur
ing the early weeks of the Roose
velt administration ‘“we should
have been in chaos.”
“The feeling of confidence and
courage which we happily have
today—and justifiably so, 1 believe
would not be abroad in the land,”
he asserted.
“The loose talk of a dictator in
Washington,”” he continued, “re
minds us how different our sSit
uation is today from that of an
actual dictatorship, If there were
an absolute dictator in the White
House, the newspapers of our
country would all be regimented,
None would dare to oppose what
the administration is doing. It
would be a crime to question any
of the acts of the administration
just as it is a crime in Berlin and
Moscow today to challenge the
policies of Hitler and Sta.in.
“Only a few weeks ago the
greatest publishing house in Ger
many was taken from its owners
and the outstanding liberal news
paper was turned overnight into 4
subservient administration organ.
We are far away from the likeli
hood of such outrage. The aboli
tion of the freedom of the press s
te act of a small-minded ruler
fearful of te truth. The American
people would not elect such a ruler
and would not submit to sach
acts of oppression if they were at
tempted.”
He praised President R_oosevelt
for his relations with the press,
aserting that *‘almost as never
pbefore the news from Washington
has been complete and accurate.’

dum explaining the accounting
‘system used by United Corporation
‘on its option warrants.

the warrants was credited to spaid
in surplus.” - :

ner, was on the stand at the time

to Pecora that a potential profit of
$122,508,000 was available to the
Morgan house if in 1929 it had
sold securities received by it in
formnig the United Corporation.

WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Mrs.
Tranklin D. Roosevelt and Seere
tary Trances Perkine Thursday
jointly announced the establish
ment of two experimental camps
for unemployed women in New
York state. a
Financed by the federal fund
for emergency relief, in coopera
tion with the state of New York,
the women's camp may prove an
example for the rest of the states
in unemployment relief,
. Only unmarried, unattached wo
men without jobs are being re
eruited for the camps, Miss Per
k Kins and Mrsg. Roosevelt empha
#fized, No women are being taken
from their homes. :
- The project resu}ted from Mrs’
Rbosevelt’s suggestion that some
form of camp life for women, sim
jlar to the reforestation work: for
men, might be found.
However, the camps are entirely
divorced from reforestation funds
and from the reforestation camp
system, coming instead from
emergency relief.
The announcement of the first
working camp for womén, now
being set up at Bear Mountain,
New York, was made at a press
conference i the White House.
The other is to be nearby.
Joint Statement
The following statement was
given out to newspaperwomen:
“Secretary Perking, to whom
‘Mrs. Roosevelt had referred the
the suggestion to offer opportuni

were being made in this field; and
that they would be extended as
needed if they proved satisfactory

Judge Refuses to
Give Divorces to
Jelke and His Wife
NEWPORT, R. L—(AP)—The
question wheather ¥. Frazier Jelke
and his young wife, balked in
their drive to divorce each other,
would seek decrees elsewhere,
stirred interest in Newport Thurs
day.
Judge Charles A. Walsh ruled
late Wednesday that both were
guilty of “extreme cruelty” toward
each other and that therefore, un
der the laws of Rhode Island,
neither may have a divorce.
The judge cleared the 27-year
old Mrs. Eugenia Woodward Jelke,
|tormer Alabama belle, of charges
of ‘infidelity preferred by her mid
dle-aged, millionaire husband dur
ing a two-weeks court fight.
There was no doubt, the judge
said, that Pelke was infatuated
with his wife, but he said he was
not convinced that ‘“she recipro
cated this affection.” The court
expressed the belief Mrs., Jelke
lmarrled to obtain luxury, but he
did not attach blame to her for
this because, he said, at her age
"§uch things are to be expected,
and she liked excitement, social
affairs and a good time.”
While upholding Jelke's charge
tof cruel tréeatment, he cleared
| Mrs. Jelke of his charge of ex
cessive drinking and said there
"was convincing evidence Jelke as
~saulted her seven times. The
court ‘@eclared Jelke had proved
extreme cruelty insofar as it had
}been shown that = his wife cursed
“him, bit him, taore his shirt, hu
!m!llated him before his friends
and nagged him.
