WASHINGTON.—Few have no

Congress guessed it ‘had been
too generous when jt gave the
privilege of allocating all the new

Tough little Ickes wouldn't hand
them out unless he thought they
were economically justified. He
was so hard to convinee that he
even refused one for his own home
town in Illinois.
postoffices and promises of post
offices are pretty important to a
congressman in re-election cam
paigns. .
Ickes, appearing before a none
too friendly House appropriations
ashcommittee, said if the .country
were going. to huild postoffices
which the figures showed couldn't
he fustified from a business point
of view, he hoped the responsibility
would be taken away from PWA.
1t must have sounded like a good
ilea. Congress quietly earmarked
$65,000,000 of the new pullic works
money for peostoffices to be select
ed from two specific lists whose
total cost would he $170.,000,000.
And left it to Postmaster General-
Democratic National Chairman Jim
Farlev and Secretary of the Treas
uyrv Morgenthau to choose them.
And maybe you think Farley

- fun discriminating between one
town and another when the boys
come hollering!
The Tckes estimate that 2,000,000
persona _have heen employed
thronugh # WA, directly and indi
rectly, seemms a shade on the op
timistic side, though there is prob
ably no way to detarmine the num
ber accurately. It's often figured
that $5,000 spent for public works
employs tweo men, directly and in
directly, for 12 months.
Thus far only $570.000,000 of
PWA money has been paid out—
excluding CWA funds. Do your

The =ad demise of the AAA
amendments, which Wwould have
made AAA eontrol measures bhomb
proof in the courts, but which were
sunk in committee by senators led
hy Smith- of South Carolina and
Byrd of Virginia, reealls some
amusing inside history.
Secretary Wallace and his fellow
agricultural brain trusters original~
lv worked out three groups of pro
posed amendments to the farm
act: 1. The absolutely essential, 2.
The important, hut not esgential
3. The desirable, but mneither es
sential nor important.
They abandoned one set, Soon
afterward,” Roosevelt told them to
drop the 'second>list—it was too
much of a load for the current
session.
So AAA went to bat only with
the “must” stuff, It was that list
which was first modified under at
tack and then scuttled completely.
One of the original amendments
was designed to protect the con
sumer more elearly than the act,
which might be construed to
“freeze” the present margins of
the middlemen — which isn't the
AAA idea at aill
Behind elosed doors, Chief Coun
sel Jerome Frank of AAA riddled

possihle jnterpretations. which
sounded worse and worse as he
£Xpounded them.
“Who do vou suppose wrote
that?” asked Wallace.
“I suppose it was Bzekiel" Frank
replied, “¥t sounds like him.”
(Meaning Dr. ‘Mordecai Fzekiel,
Chief aconomie adviser.)
“T wrote “it myself,”” said Wal
lace, “let's throw it out.”
The German moratorium was no
surprise to the State Department,
which keeps in pretty eclose touch
With what's going on everywhere.

PRESIDENT SEES SO
INACTION TODAY AT
YALE-HARVARD RAGE
Cruises With Party to
Scene of Annual Big
College Regatta
DEFENDS BRAIN TRUST
Addresses Meeting of
Yale Alumni in New
Haven Wednesday
NEW LONDON, Conn,~—(#)—
The yacht Sequoia bearing
President: Roosevelt and his
party to the Yale-Harvard re
gatta arrived at New London
at 10:10 a. m. today (Eastern
Standard time). .
‘BY FRANCIS M, STEPHENSON
ENROUTE TO NEW LONDON,
Conn. — (#) — President Roosevalt
cruised today to tre race course of
the Harvard and Yale crews after
warning the universities of the
land, and particulariy of the east,
against narrowness and luading
their experimentation.
He told the alumni of Yale uni
versity in this connection late yes
terday that the “brain trust” would
continue in government and he
slapped at criticism of congress in
the “more erudit2 press of the
east.” ; |
‘With this extemporaneous. out
spoken expression at Yale, where
he reeived an homorary degree of
Doctor of Laws, Mr. Roosevelt sail
ed aboard the government yacht
Thames river, where tomorrow his
own school, Harvard, and his new
1y adopted Alma Mater, Yale, will
battle with oars.
More Reason
A more intimate reason lured the
president to New London. His
son, Franklin, jr., is a member of
the Harvard freshmen crew.
Mrs. Roosevelt traveled with the
president out on TLong Island
today. They were acompanied by
their eldest son, sames, his wife
and her parents, Dr, and Mra.
Harvey Cushing.
Ruling out politics from national
government and depending the
‘brain trust,”” Mr., Roosevelt re
marked at Yale: :
‘“While there has been a certain
amount of-comme=nt about the use
of brains in the national govern
ment, it seems to be a pretty good
practice—a practice which will
continue—this practice of calling
on trained p=ople for tasks that
require trained people.
Conduct of Officials
I “I think it is also true that in
the conduct of our government
there has been no period in our
history where what we call in the
wrong sense politics, and the wrong
sense politicians, enter less than
they do today in the conduct of
government.
The president warned that “the
danger for all of us graduates, es
pecially, T believe of the larger
eastern universities, lies in a nar
rowness of point of view,” but he
said with feeling that Harvard
and Yale “have painted the way in
education for a great many gene

Yale stand out in the world of

BLUE EAGLE HAS
NOT LOST APPEAL
Johnson Says NRA Critics
Would Like to “Hang
His Hide on Fence"
| MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(#)—A sharg
‘Wa,rning that the Blue Eagle
“hasn't lost its appeal”’ was Gen
eral Hugh S. Johnson’s answer to
day to the crities "who would hang
my hide on the fence to dry.”
I “They are out to get NRA,” he
! {old the National Retail Credit as-
Is.‘ociation here last night, “and
some of them think the way te
Iget NRA is to get me.”
i “NRA”, he continued, “is better
i than any man or set of men. Don’t
} kid yourselves, this thing is ‘the
goods. Business is for it, labor
is for it, the public is for it
Against NRA, he charged are
“only a jabbering, moaning clique
or oppositionists.”
The Blue Eagle, Johnson pre
dicted, will “stay put” as an em
blem of clean business.
In a criticism directed at the
Furopean situation as it affects
this country, Johmson dwelt at
length on the money furnished the
allies during and after the war.
“I pelieve that a careful study
would show,” he said, “that our
European debtors never paid a
cent of the war debt that they
did not either get from Germany
or borrow from us, that we loan
ed Germany the money to pay
them to pay us and finally that
gll they bought from us over and
ahbove the exchange of goods, we
‘loaned them the money to pay for.”

Following vague clues from WNew York across to England and the
Continent, police lean to the belief that Agnes Tufverson, above, New
York attorney, is dead. She has been missing since last December, a
few days after her marriage in New York to Captain lvan Poderjay,
Yugo-Slavian adventurer, who is held in Vienna with a woman said
to be his wife. e

VIENNA. — (#) — Otto Stein
haeus], secretary of Vienna's inter
national police organization, said
today evidence connecting Captain
Ivan Ponderjay with the disap
pearance of Agnes Tufverson was
strengthening.
“We do not yet have a confes
gion,” Steinhaeusl said, “and we
can only accuse him of murder
when the chain of cirqumstantial
evidence ig closed.
“For this we await from Ameri
ca news of the = finding of Miss
Tufverson's . body.”
Vienna. authorities are convinced
that the 43-year-old American
woman lawyer. whom Poderjay
married in New York, is dead.
While police were confident that
Poderjay was heavily involved in
the mysterv, they expressed beliet
that Susanne Ferrand, the French
woman with whom Poderiay was
living here had no connection with
it.
Steinhaeusl said he probably was
not guilty of anything on wwhick
extradition proceedings could be
based. She iz held. however, on a
charge of having profited by an
other's erime. Possegsions of Miss
Tufverson, ircluding six dresses

nouncement by the code authority
of the cleaning . and dyeing trade
that it had discarded wage and
hour provisions, all that was. left

Accusing Hugh_ 8., Johnson of
- bad faith, the executive committee
of the code authority wrote Presi
&; Roosevelt a denunciation of
's recent action in scrapping
price control and other fair trade
practices of the code.
“Abandonment of price control,”
‘the authority said yesterday, “has
resulted in complete demoraliza
tion of the trade linlarge centers.
Vicious Racketeering
“Already evidenceg of vicious
racketeering ‘practices which had
been eliminated under the code are
‘beginning to -appear in different
sectiong of the country, and we
cannot hope to maintain stabilized
conditions and eliminate the chis

Therefore, said. the letter, the

themselves to abide by the clauses
designed to keep wages from fall

One provision of the proposed

““Article Seven of the state con
