N —— * PRESIDENT'S RUSH * OF WORK CONTINUES Bills, Proclamations, Mes- sages and Orders Numers ous in First Month. By the Associated Press. The close of the first month of the Roosevelt administration finds Wash- ington barely able to keep pace with the drive of the new President to put his recovery program into the play. Bills, proclamations, messages and executive orders have poured out of the White House in amazing the four weeks since Mr. lifted his hand and took the oath— ] that has established a peace- time record for action. Five pleces of major legisiation al- ready on the statute books, a half dozen others are on their way or in preparation, more than a half billion dollars is set to be carved from the Federal budget and aid for the unem- ployed is on its way. No Let-Down Promised. Still light-hearted and confident, Mr. Roosevelt is promising no let-down to the weary legislators and almost ex- hausted aides who have been carry- ing through his program. _Appoint- ments to fill out the new administra- tion set-up are going to wait for the emergency drive. A brief summary of the first month of Roosevelt action: Legislation—Banking bill giving the President complete control over the institutions and monetary supplies of the Nation; economy measure authoriz- ing him to trim more than $500,000,000 from salaries and veterans’ allowances; legalization of 3.2 per cent beer; au- thorization for vast forest conservation High-Speed Nine-Ton Transport Plane Shown THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Fletcher cited 20 cases adjudicated in the Court of Claims which he said con- tained “judicial inaccuracies.” He ended his petition with: “The said Booth, acting in secret con- iracy with other persons, has at all es engaged in the non-judicial busi- ness of bringing about the disbarment of the undersigned - (Fletcher) as a member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, upon the ground that the latter, by borrow- ing money and paying it back, was flnlty of unprofessional conduct as wyer.” - The chief justice is a native of Mar- shall, TIl.

MANILA, P. I, April 1.—Opposition to the appointment of Representative Butler B. Hare (Democrat, South Caro- lina) as Governor General or vice gov- ernor of the Philippines, reported re- cently as under discussion in Washing- ton, was voiced here today by spokesmen of opposing elements in island politics. Vicente Sotto, chairman of the Civic Union, an extremist independence or- ganization, cabled Filipino representa- tives in Washington that neither Hare nor Senator Harry B. Hawes (Demo- crat, Missouri) were persona grata in view of the part they played in the | enactment of Filipino independence leg. islation. Sotto said the independence act has been “repudiated by the Filipino people.” Official action by the Filipino govern- ment on the Hawes-Cutting independ- ence act has not yet been taken. Ac- ceptance or rejection of the terms of the act are expected to be voted at the next session of the insular Legislature. Sotto also criticized members of the Philippine Independence Commission in ‘Washington for “meddling with the ap- pointment.” ‘The Daily Bulletin, American-owned newspaper, said editorially: “The situation here relative to the Hawes-Cutting-Hare act disqualifies for the governor generalship or the vice governorship all such persons whose name the measure bears.” Such an appointment, the Bulletin said, would throw the Governor's palace into a bitter controversy, adding: “The President would be charged with taking sides and the campaign here over the bill would contribute | chaos to confusion.” — INUTE YSTER Can VYou.

NEW YORK, April 1.—Several large advertising schedules are ready for re- lease the day beer is legalized and soon thereafter, W. A. Thompson, director of the bureau of advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Asso- clation, said today. No details as to plans were available, Thompson said. Releases of the ap- propriations may be somewhat retarded pending clarification of regulatory leg- islation and the establishment of pro- duction facilities. Thompson made no estimate of what the advertising appropriations might total, but estimates from other sources were between $10,000,000 and $20,000,- 000. These included an estimate of $13,000,000 by a brewer who would not be quoted; an estimate of between $10,- 000,000 and $15,000,000 by another offi- cial, and a $20,000,000 estimate by the United States Brewers’ Association. The general practice before prohibi- tion was to set aside about 60 cents a barrel for advertising appropriations, brewers said, and on the basis of a 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 barrel produc- tion the first year (this is the Govern- ment estimate), appropriations might be expected to run between $15,000,000 and $18,000,000. One brewery official held these esti- mates small because he believed brew- ers would make unusual efforts to es- tablish their trademarks quickly in the public mind. Among the larger 1933 appropriations was one of $1,000,000 announced by Anheuser-Busch and one of $500,000 by Jacob Ruppert in New York, Print- ters Ink disclosed. BOTH ARMS f‘:RACTURED BY FALL OF CHILD Georgetown 7-Year-Old Taken to Hospital by Mother After Accident in 0l1d Building. Carroll Inscoe, 7, was in Georgetown University Hospital today with fractures of both arms, received when the flooriag of an old building in which he was play- ing gave way yesterday, causing him to fall about 10 feet. Carroll, who lives at 3418 N street, was leading two other boys on a “treas- ure hunt” at the time. His playmates notified his mother, Mrs. Bessie Inscoe, who took him to the hospital. ‘The building, on Thirty-sixth street near M street, once was the District terminus of the Washington & Old Do- minion Railroad. ITALIAN CLUB FORMED Students of Georgetown Foreign Service School have formed an Italian club, the “Circolo Itlaiano,” with the object of developing greater interest in the Italign language and culture in the school.

In addition, Federico Cuneo, Enrico Pacini and Jerry Verdi have been selected advisers. The club is directed by Prof. Domingo Caino of the department of romance languages of Georgetown College.

The District appropriation measure, as submitted to Congress by the Budget Bureau, would place a serious handicap on the care of District prisoners at Lorton and Occoquan, due to slashes made in estimates for the penal insti- tutions, Capt. M. M. Barnerd, superi tendent of penal institutions, said yes- terday. Capt. Barnard reported that at present there are about 1,100 prisoners at the Lorton Reformatory. On the basis of recent experience, he said, he must anticipate that the number might be increased. The control of this large number of men at an institution which has the “‘open” or unwalled penal system would be made more difficult due to the re- duction in proposed appropriations under which the men could be given employment, he explained. The total estimate for the penal in- stitutions was cut from $350,000, as contained in the bill agreed to in the House and Senate conference, to $280,- 000. The working capital fund, through which the institutions carry on employ- ment activities which more than makes iup for this expenditure, was cut from $46,000 to about $35,000. Also items for new const; SRk ruction were Capt. Barnard said today he red that 17 of the employed nttend::uu at the two institutions, totaling 220, would have to be furloughed because of the reduction in the estimates, MRS.

BONE BRINGS NEW BRAND OF ORATORY TO SENATE Won State of Washington Votes in Whirlwind Cam- paign Last Summer. Tacoma Attorney Has Served at Least Seven Parties in Varied Career. BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. “Homer T. Bone of Tacoma will| speak in 10 minutes!” was emblazoned | on a large white cloth and set up on a | 1928 model automobile. This car, with | its two occupants, Candidate Homer T. | Bone and his campaign manager, Saul | Haas, toured the State of Washington | during the hot-fought campaign last Summer. From place to place they would frisk over the smooth mountain roads, as fast | as the old car would mote. When they came to the sleepy towns with wooden sidewalks and shady trees they would | plug up a 50-foot cable to the nearest electric light socket and the loud speaker, attached to an old Victrola, would blast forth their campaign song, “Fifty Years From Now.” Then, while the future Senator and Mrs. Haas were in the grocery store, discussing the local political situation, the Victrola would reproduce past speeches of this colorful man. Afters the proprietor had rounded up what few people had not been drawn by the sonorous loud speaker, which could be heard for two city blocks, Homer T. Bone, magnetic, dynamic friend of the people, would jump on the car and spe: Party Split Results. His opponent in the senatorial race was Senator Wesley L. Jones, veteran Republican, who had served in the Sen- ate since 1909. In the primaries he was opposed by Stephen Chadwick, who represented the conservative Democratic element of the State and who felt so bitterly about his flery opponent that he later bolted his party and supported ufh;onu. campaign became vituperative foward its close and the Republicans said that if Mr. Bone were elected it would be because he had been swept in on the Roosevelt tide. To his gratifi- cation, he obtained 20,000 more votes in his State than did the President. Senator sion. At one time he was attorney for the Port Commission in Tacoma, when Chester Thorn was c! of the Port Commission. He is a slender man with a slight stoogp and a handsome, mercurial face. He is earnest, smart, self-taught and a consistent protagonist of municipal ownership, which has a broad lprnl to the large drifting popu- lation of Washington. The continual rains from September to May, the re- treating timber lines and the seasonal fishing produce a mobile state of living. Mr. Bone’s political career has been comprehensive. Since 1912 he has been a candidate for no less than seven parties, Socialists, Parmer Laborites, the Liberty party, the Bellamyites, Progres- sive Republicans and Democrats. Though this volatility cause some one is a lawyer by profes- | ghe Washington Democrats plenty of an- guish, Benator Bone explains it is be- cause he has sponsored causes irrespec- HOMER T. BONE. tive of party affiliations. He has cam- paigned for the conservation of State waterpower, a minimum wage law for vomen and public ownership of utilities. Ee has never veered from helping the poor man and battling the rich, he de- clares. His legislative experience is confined to serving one term in the lower House of the State Legislature in 1923. He made his maiden speech in the Senate last week. It was an attack on the mis- use of Government ship subsidies. He offered an amendment to the then pending economy bill, cutting down the present Government subsidy, but was unable to get a roll call. This amend- ment was offered with the fiery oratory for which he is famous. He spewed out the names of Vincent Astor and other wealthy ship owners with the same venom that Huey Long uses in referring to Eugene Meyer. It is anybody’s guess which way this full-blooded individualist will develop. Many before him have come to the Sen- ate and had the rough edges worn off by political stringency, but at present he is restless in the precious Eastern at- mosphere, “Opportunity used to be in the West, | but now it is in the East,” he says, but he is homesick for his high mountains. He lives, with his pretty wife, at the oreham. . Firemen Revive Gas Victim.
