THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1933 2 RELAX WPA RULES. IS BAKER'S PLEA Appeals in Behalf of Persons Forced On Relief Rolls Since Nov. 1 Washington, Dec. 20.—(P)—A plea to modify work relief regulations and permit employment of persons forced on relief since Nov. 1 was under Harry L. Hopkins’ advisement Friday. Adj. Gen. Frayne Baker, repre- senting Gov. Welford of North Dakota, appealed to Hopkins, WPA chief, to relax an order limiting employment on work relief projects to persons on relief rolls between May 1 and Nov. 1. “Many of our people who have been supporting themselves up to now have exhausted their means and they feel they have been discriminated against by the WPA,” Baker said. Baker said public works officials had assured him an application for a fed- eral grant for an auditorium at Valley City would receive favorable consider- ation. Project sponsors are request- ing $45,000 in federal funds for the $100,000 construction. Baker said he had asked the relief administration to establish a transient camp at the International Peace/ Garden to replace a CCC which! had been removed. | North Dakota Voting Against FDR Policies; New York, Dec. 19.—A fifth tabu- lation of the Literary Digest’s national poll of sentiment upon Roosevelt ad- ministration policies includes 819,320 votes in 34 states and shows a frac- tional increase in anti-New Deal totals, The poll by states includes: Vote Yes in Vote Support No of Against | Roose- Roose- velt's velts Policies _ Policies 16,114 22,376 16,027 28,308 2,544 3,738 3,388 6,087 393 785 State Senator Wins Oratorical Contest Grand Forks, N.

BAD LUCK DOGS SENATOR SCHALL’S FAMILY Washington, Dec. 20. — (*) — Bad luck in the form of accidents has dogged the family of Senator Thomas D. Schall down through the years. His wife said Friday that: Senator Schall was blinded as re- sult of an accident in a Moorhead, Minn., cigar store in 1907. Between court sessions of a suit he was trying, Schall entered the store. The floor was wet from slush carried in from outside. Leaning over the counter to light a cigar, the lighter short-cir- cuited and a resultant spark struck his eyes. He was blinded in one with- in a short time and in the other a year later despite the efforts of spec- ialists. A son, Thomas, was so badly in- jured in an accident while a mid- shipman at Annapolis five years ago that he was unable to return to the academy. A daughter, Padget Ann, has suf- fered fractures of the collar bone, both legs and the spine in various accidents. Another son, Richard, fractured both ankles last June 23 in 4 plane crash at the Dover, Del., airport. in a car. Peterson freed himself and fired at the car. An alarm wes broadcast and a posse started in pursuit. ‘Three miles from Twin Lakes, the woman was trapped near a “blind road.” She surrendered. Carried Two Guns Superintendent Passolt said the woman said she carried two guns—a 32 colt automatic and a .38 single action pistol—but authorities could find only one, é Mrs. Moore, Passolt was informed, said she left her husband last Octo- ber and has been “on my own” since. “I took the bank all alone,” Passolt quoted her as saying. “I ‘split’ with my husband a few months ago and have been on my own. I was low on funds, and needed some money.” C ONTINUE D from page one Blind Minnesotan Lies Unconscious In Capital Hospital said a passing automobile struck both men as they stepped to the highway. Police booked the driver as L. G. Humphries, of Hyattsville, Md: and charged him with reckless driving. He was released on his own recognizance. Mrs. Schall and her son soon were at the senator's bedside. Dr. J. Rog- ers Young, hospital superintendent, said a consultation was to be held Friday and further X-rays taken. Enemy of New Deal Schall has been a vehement enemy of the New Deal, making many state- ments and speeches containing furious attacks on the administration. Only Thursday, he assailed the Roosevelt reciprocal tariff pacts as “star cham- ber treaties.” A former newsboy, bootblack ani circus employe who worked his way through college and became a lawyer, Schall first came to Washington in 1916 as an Independent in the house. He then had. been blind for nine years as a result of an electric shock from a cigar lighter which paralyzed the optic nerve. In 1924, Schall defeated the Farmer- Laborite senator Magnus Johnson, and WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity. Mostly cloudy tonight and Saturday; warm- er tonight.
