YR Washington Lowdown S Rodney Dutcher Tough on Producer l Shakedown Crackdown Worth a Guffaw (Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON — The billion gollar baking industry’s squawk at the NRA bakers’ code as amended py President Roosevelt's executive order has been widely construced as the first defiance of a code by a major industry. pon't take it too seriously. Everything will come out more or less all right and there’ll be no mighty test of strength between the administration and privatg in dustry. president Henry Stude of the vational Bakers' Council was peved. He was especlally peeved by weeks of delay in getting the wde approved by General Johnson. He had had a terrible time getting %,000 bakers—ranging from huge paking corporations to tiny cerner storekeepers—organized for code purposes. Delay had caused some disorgan zation. The delay was largely caused by a fight over wages and hours. Stude was further peeved be cause Johnson’s office had pre rared the White House eXecutive order staying the code's ban on prizes and premiums for bread sale promotion, eliminating the five day open-price waiting period, and reopening the labor provision for %0 days. So Stude wrote Roosevelt that the council couldn't take respon sibility as a code authority for en forcement and bitterly complained that bakers were paying millions for processing taxes, in higher ma terial prices and increased wages which they couldn't charge to the consumer in higher prices. That gave Dr. Fred Howe, AAA Consumers’ counsel, a chance to swing back with figures that con sumers were paying 142 cents more for a loaf of bread than last year, whereas ingredientg cost but .87 cents more. Now there'll be some kind of compromise—probably a restora tion of the ban on premuims and extension of the 90-day period. But no rebellion against a code and no, crackdown. Hog farmers and cattle men who have their suspicions of the meat packers may be interested to hear that the lowest revised marketing agreement submitted by the indus try to AAA bore the following ti tle: “Marketing Agreement for the Meat Industry, including Slaugh tering of Livestock and Processing and Wholesaling of all Producers of Livestock.” The document was studied in AAA for days before anyone caught the full implication of that title. For many vears the Civil Service Commission has been specifically rcommending punishment of fed eral officials engaged in “shaking ‘down” employeg for campaign con ributions, or employes engaging in ‘{rorblduen political activities. ~ Such recommendations wsually ‘have been ignored or suppressed. Now it appears that federal em toves can depend on protection from Washington if politicians try to shake them down, They can, it least, if they work for the Trea- Siry Department under Secretary Morgenthau—as about 50,000 do. Roosevelt’s demand for resigna tion of Internal Revenue Collector Alvin T. Fix of Philadelphia re- Vealed that. Fix, appointed through fforts of Democratic Boss Joe Guffey of PFennsylvania, gets the xe along with other officials of his oftice, accused of levying § per cent n salaries of employes.

E. HARRIS | Associated Press Foreign Staff LONDON —(AP)— The discov |ery of a woman's legs in London and a woman's torso in Brighton put Scotland Yard on the trail to day of one of England’'s weirdest murder mysteries. There were only meager clues. Both the legs and the torso were wrapped in brown wrapping pa per and authorities were virtually |certa.in they belonged to the same person. i p Four letters, “F-o-r-d” written on a paper at Brighton with a blue pencil, detectives ' believed, might serve as a signboard in the search for the slayer. Scotland Yard said, however, valuable information had been di vulged by a person ‘“sworn to se crecy.” Plan Examination After an examination of the legs, found in a suitcase which had ‘been left at King's Cross railway station here, June 7, Sir Bernard Spilsburg, noted home office path ologist, planned to examine the ‘torso in Brighton and decide whether the legs helonged to the ‘body. ' The chief of police of Brighton ‘after another examination of .the torso said today there was no pos sibility it was that of Miss Agnes Tufverson, missing American law yer. ! No scars, birthmarks or wounds other than those caused by the removal of the head, legs and arms were found the officer said. The theory that the body might be that of a Brighton woman who has been missing for some time was rejected. Miss Margaret Wardy, Brighton’s grey-haired spinster - mayoress who directs the official life of this city of 25,000 inhabitants, said “the case belongs to London, you can be sure of that.” Searches Being Made In the hope of discovering other possible clues all railway stations, cloak rooms, and luggage deposits in London were combed without success. The torso at Brighton, dismem bered by a saw, was stuffed into a cheap canvas trunk, with wool wrapped about it. The frightful discoveries came ‘; (Continued on page seven.) MAN KILLS WIFE WITH ROLLING PIN Argument Over $5 Shop ping Trip Results in Chi cago Tragedy . CHICAGO.—(®)—With a single blow from a rolling pin, Samuel Miller, 43, crushed his wife's skull, and as she slumped to the floor, dying, he called their three chil dgren and told them to dress. He confessed early today to a state’s attorney. In the back seat of the family automobile, he placed his wife and started off with his three daugh ters, Beatrice, 14, Lena, 4, and Clara, 2, to dispose of the body, he said. When he reached a deserted al ley on Chicago's south; side, he wrapped the still living body in a planket and tossed it to the ground, warning his children never to tell. Starting home, he stopped at a lunch counter and ordered ham burgers. The children ate theirs, but he threw his away. «Qhe was alive when I left her in the alley,” he told police. “T saw her move.” That happened Sunday night. The body was found Monday by a ‘rag picker. Police thought she was the victim of a hit and run driver. But Joseph Hagertv, a neigh bor, had heard the Millers quarrel ing Sunday night and identified the bodv at the morgue. The oldest daughter, Reatrice was the first to disclose the glay ine. TFaced with this information Miller confessed. An argument over a %5 shopping trip his wife had made was on® of the features of the slaying, he told wnolice. “Qhe started throwing dishes at me.” he said. “T npicked up the rolling pin and hit her. just once.” The children, he said, dozed on the drive through the city.

E. Searcy, jr., says the law is the law and a man's distaste for any statute gives him no right to disregard it. Several months ago, when Ilegal beer began to flow throughout the nation, people in Georgia decided to have their beer, too, in spite of one of the most stringent dry laws in the country. So the city licens ing plan was adopted and 3.2 beer was sold in many municipalities. Judge Searcy charged the Spalding county grand jury that there is no doubt it is against the state lJaw to sell beer or even near beer in the state—and his voice echoed by the city fathers of Grif fin, who refused to license beer here. . The argument was made by beer proponents that the sale of beer would result in revenue. Judge Searcy says that if revenue was the only consideration, much more money could be raised by selling immunities to gambling houses, burglars and murderers. The jurist told the grand jurors that no one has a right to disre gard a law because he doesn’t like it. If that were the case, he said, every criminal would have a right to single out the law he didn’t care for and violate it. - At the last session of the Geor gia legislature a beer bill reached the floor of the house but the house table was as far as it got. While dry Georgla winks and drinks its beer to assuage a large thrist, the Spalding county judge says the law is the law and the grand jury is working under in structions to return indictments if the evidence shows beer was sold.

Candler, of Atlanta, a member, announced the resigna tions in protest against the NRA order eliminating price fixing ele ments from the code. Members sald this order would abolish pres ent NRA hours and wages. The members in their letter said the code had been accepted with the understanding that ‘“cut-throat competition” would be abolished. The code provided for higher wages and hour reduction. ¢ The letter said the code author ity had performed every duty pre scribed, ‘“but after sgix months of frustration, confusion, contradiction and total inaction on the part of the recovery administration’s order of May 26 attempts to wipe out with one stroke of she pen al] that is of possible value in the code to the trade, retaining only its bur den, the labor provisions, thus at tempting. to repeal half the code which made the other half possi ble.

Kenneth J. McCarren, De troit city assessor and a mem ber of the board, sought to fix Ford’'s personal property at $15,000,000 which, he said, would be a ‘very conservative” figure, but his motion to that effect found no support and the lower figure was adopted. Board members said they attempted to obtain a state ment from Ford, himself, but were unsuccessful. Ford frequently is listed among the world’s richest men, and the Ford family income at one time was reported to be $100,000,000 annually. Members of the review board =said that if Ford con sidered unfair the appraisal placed upon his personal prop erty, he could file a protest, like any other taxpayer.

The Shuntien’s captain said the pirates were gkilled seamen and navigated the ship themselves. The pirates boarded the vessel as pas sengerg at Tientsin, and later took charge. For 50 years warfare has been waged against pirates along Chi na's “Spanish Main” with varying success. Foreign gunboatg aid China in the fight.

DICKSON WASHINGTON.—(#)—The 73rd congress, in performing the most stupendous legislative task ever faced in peacetime, kept in step with President Rcosevelt most of the way but now and then took a path all its own. Onceé it over-rode the President's veto on an important matter, shell ing out $223,000,000 to restore some federal pay and veterans benefits that had been slashed by the economy act. Again, it saw that amendments to the agriculture adjustment act ——highly ' desired by the farm ad ministration—got lost in the shuf fle after some legislators, notably Senator Byrd (D.-Va.) attacked them as giving Secretary Wallace a ‘“‘czar's” power, This first New Deal congress gave the executive more power, appropriated vaster sums, and adopted more experimental and regulatory ' legislation than any other peace time legislature. During the second session qf five and a half months it enacted a multitude of recovery proposals touching almost every phase of the nation’s economie, industrial, social and political life. The out lays it authorized ran into bil lions. Since congress met and the President addressed a joint ses sion in January, it has delegated some of its powers over tariff and appropriations to the executive.

John son simultaneously that he was “very hopeful” of acceptance by the steel industry of the union’s four-point program for avoiding strikes. The NRA chief said the proposal drawn by Willlam Green, president of the American Federation of La bor, seemed “very similar” to the plan previously accepted by the industry itself. “I'm very hopeful about it,”” said Johnson. The proposal as get forth in the letter to President Roosevelt would: Set up ah impartial board of three members to be appointed by the President to handle complaints and to mediate disputes.

The surprising end came last night after party independents ’arose in the seng{e and smote op position to the Dill-Crosser bill to set up a national hoard to cmfi' ate labor and employers in their disagreements in the railway in dustry. e ‘ President Roosevelt and party leaders had wanted the bill to go over to the next congress, for they feared final action would mean a prolonged session. The insurgents, however, with' such senators as Wheeler (D., Mont) and La, Fol lette (R., Wis.) in the forefront. 'kept driving ahead for action, overcoming a one-man filibuster by Senator Hastings (R., Del) and finally winning against the opposi tion of administration leaders. ~ The administration’s housing pro gram, providing for partial govern ‘ment guarantees of loans for home ‘building and _repair, and d% ‘measures to set the construction ‘ball rolling, was the last major item to go through. i ~ Barller the Frazier-Lemke bill permitting a virtual six-year mor atorium on farm mortgages had ‘passed the final stages of enact ‘ment.
