; "A—10 % | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1931. RITCHIE HOLDS U. 3. . ENTERPRISES LOSE Operates Unprofitably for Taxpayers, He Says in Radio Address. The United States Government not only has made an “imperial and revo- lutionary march into the domain of business,” but has operated unprofitable enterprises supported by taxation of the people, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Mary- land charges in an address over the National Broadcasting System from ‘Washington yesterday. Describing the evils of Government interference in the realm of big busi- ness, Gov. Ritchie stated that economic enterprise in this country has acquired the “habit of constantly looking to ‘Washington for aid and subsidies and subventions, and to the laws too numer- ous to mention, which, on the one hand, overfavor business, and on the other overregulate it.” Bureaucracy Is Near-Tyranny. “Some of this” he said, “may be necessary, but on the whole these things have brought a system of bureaucracy which comes very near to tyranny. The srmy of officeholders grows over five times as fast as the population, and our Government becomes steadily the most costly, wasteful and extravagant on the face of the earth. “And the end is not yet; there are still unexploited fields—child and adult labor, education, the producer, the mer- chandiser, the consumer, the farmer and the press. A live bureaucracy will be glad to bring them all under its Jurisdiction. Although “no provision in the Con- stitution even remotely contemplates the Government engaging in business,” the Federal authority “actually is in business . . . engaged in at least 100 distinct lines.” These enterprises are run without due regard for operating costs, without the rule that profits must be made, the speaker said, be- cause all deficits may be balanced from the public Treasury. Can Never Stampede States. Business has sought from the Fed- eral Government a security which might be better obtained from diversi- fication of regulatory power into the hands of the various States, Ritchie saild, for “an active and belligerent propaganda may stampede a given Congress into passing laws ruinous to business. . . . You can never stam- pede all the States into doing so.” “I refuse,” he concluded, “to believe that the intelligence of the country cannot see that business prosperity must rest on a sounder basis than political favoritism or inspired guidance or interference from Washington. Business should look to and trust the States and their people, as the sources from which its strength and safety spring, and as the arch security of our governmental structure, and the cen- tral Government should not block the ‘way.” ey MAN DRINKS POISONS AND RUBBING ALCOHOL ‘W. C. James, 48, Gets Treatment After Alleged Attempt to Commit Suicide. ‘William C. James, 48, of 1447 V street southeast, was treated at Providence Hospital this afternoon following an alleged attempt to commit suicide at his home. James, according to police, drank a halt pint of rubbing alcohol mixed with two poisons. He was treated by Dr. Vincent Gould, 2015 Nichols avenue southeast, and then removed to the ‘hospital. James told police he had been out of work for some time and decided to end his life after futile attempts to find employment. EX-DETECTIVE ARRESTED William C. Curtis to Face Wife's Non-Support Charge. William C. Curtis, former headquar- ters detective, was held today for Balti- more authorities, where he is wanted 03‘1(!. charge of failing to support his wife.

WITZERLAND, majestic under Winter snows, and Bwitzer- land, beautiful in Summer’s colorful adornment, was tra- versed from fertile valleys to rocky peaks, glacial plateaus and back again by a large group of ‘Washington globe-trotters, who in the majority of instances must neces- sarily gratify their urge to see the world by sitting comfortably in an auditorium and watching the glorious old world go by in pictorial repro- duction. Yesterday, in company with Bur- ton Holmes, the audience at the Na- tional Theater missed nothing in all of Switzerland that the average tourist sees, and in addition it visit- ed many places which the usual party of sight-seers seldom has an opportuntiy to enjoy. It climbed to dizzy heights of supreme grandeur, saw rare panoramas of exquisite beauty and clambered down again into the valleys of picturesque sim- plicity. % Starting at Lucerne, the tour cov- ered Fluelen, Trieb, Pilatus, Lens- burg, Vierwaldstaetter-See, Inter- laken and the Jungfrau, along the Rhone Glacier and through the tun- nel under it and on to the Matter- horn. Photographs made through the giant telescope at Matterhorn presented close-ups of the famous rival peaks of Monte Rosa, the Breit- horn, Lyskamm and the Twins. Down from Matterhorn to Zermatt and then into the White Hells of the Alps, stopping en route for many scenes of unusual and sometimes un- believable beauty. A visit was made to the Principality of Liechenstein and to dozens of villages, monas- teries, lakes and mountains on the way to St. Moritz and Pontresia, every inch of the territory offering its own particular brand of beauty. In the French Alps the revue is devoted almost entirely to the mo- tion-picture recording of the ascent during this past Summer of Brad- ford Washburn and Andre Le Varre to the summit of Mont Blanc. While | the picture was showing Mr. Wash- | burn balancing himself on a pin- nacle which appeared to have a foot- ing about the size of a dinner plate, Mr. Holmes told this story on his young friend. While in New York together & short time ago they were taking & look over the city from the roof of one of the major skyscrapers. As they were gazing at the top of the Empire State Building a man walk- ing along the roof appeared to be rather close to the edge, whereupon Mr. Washburn turned to Mr. Holmes and remarked in all sincerity that he had an aversion to such heights and did not see how any one could maintain a balance at such a dis- tance from the ground. One of the most extraordinary bits of photography in Mr. Holmes' travel CLIMBING stairs to answer telephone calls may be good exercise, but it's a poor economy for busy housewives.

Cost— about what you pay for newspapers each Front Row News of Washington.s Theaters. revue of Switzerland is a motion camera picturization of the dissolu- tion of a cloud sea. The short piece .of film represents seven hours of camera work from a point many feet above a storm cloud, which has all the formations and turbulences of a ranging sea. To describe its disappearance is impossible, for it does none of the things which the lay mind would expect it to do. It simply disappears in a mysterious and fascinating fashion An innovation in yesterday's pro- gram was the showing of a group of pictures which Mr. Holmes an- nounced were top beautiful to be talked about, and he had arranged to have them interpreted by piano solos from compositions of Beethoven, Brahams and Bach. The effect was quite successful, Good Show At the Gayety. “Step Lively Girls” at the Gayety this week presents many choice en- tertainers and may justly claim to be a top-notch Columbia production. Billie Diamond, guest star of the first water, enticed many rounds of applause with vivacious numbers, not only for the “warm” scores, but for those requiring vocal talent as well. Once again Jimmie Lake displayed his showmanship by two local col- ored entertainers, not billed, but who combine musical skill with snappy feet and provoked peals of laughter and much applause from an interested audience. Charlie Wesson, Jack Ryan, Harry Bentley and Harry Rose display their respective abilities in skits and assist 1n producing an all-round good show, sprinkled with wit and vocal scores. Jean Lee, Hazel Bernard, Stella Rose and Jess Mack add to the en- semble charm and pep. The chorus, drilled to perfection, introduces many new numbers that add to the general merits of the performance.

Restoration of silver value through a sales agreement among the major producing _nations_tops a four-point program which the International Cham- ber of Commerce has initiated through- out the world. Silas H. Strawn, chamber’s American Committee, made public the report of a committee of | experts. He sald negotiations were already under way with private groups and governments primarily concerned to make the recommendations effective. The other proposals are that any government finding itself unable to secure & suficient supply of gold “might consider the purchase of an amount of silver against which notes of low denomination, covered by silver to almost the full value of the gold coin which it substitutes, would be is- chairman of lhew‘ sued.” That the international chamber seeks CHICAGO ™ PHOENI Calif Engl From La Salle St. Station 8:48 wood 8:8 to have governments “restore their sub- sidiary coinages to pre-war fineness, within the limits of their national law,” to help restore confidences in the value of the metal; ‘That those “interested in the sale of silver might with advantage emulate the example set in other industries by the establishment of research institutes for the purpose of devising new uses and expanding present uses of the product.” Conference Unlikely. At the same time the experts ex- pressed an opinion that no internation- 3l conference for stabilizing the silver industry is likely under governmental sponsorship, except as a side issue cf & general economic conference. The committee was composed of Ernest Franklin of London, E. D. Van ‘Walree of Bern and Marshall W. Tut- hill of New York. Referring to the proposed sales zgree- ment, it said the best results probably could be achieved “by friendly co- operation and careful observation of prices, with a view to establishing a somewhat higher, although not too high, level, compatible with the interests of sellers as well as holders.” GUESTS OF GLEE CLUB Gideon A.
