During the Harding administration an effort was made by Interior Secretary Fall to regain control of this service, but his proposal was successfully fought by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, father of the cabinet officer who now holds the same portfolio. Because of its close affiliation with the department’s National Park Serv- ice, especially at the present time when President’s Emergency Forestry Conservation Corps is_about to start work in the National Forests, Interior officials are reported to be using much pressure to regain their old agency.

Accompanied by six Department of Justice men, Dr. Luther went by tug to Communipaw, N. J., whence he was to proceed by train to Washington.

This involves plans for a flat $1,000,000,000 retrenchment, $450, 000,000 of which is to come from vet- erans’ costs, another $120,000,000 from salary cuts and the remainder from bureau shifts and deletions. e BAN ON OUTSIDE WORK i FORU.S. CLERKS ASKED Hotel and Cafe Employes Charge They Are Infringing on Rights of Jobless.

Special Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., April 14.—The mercury’s drop to 30 degrees in this territory yesterday morning resulted in damage to early fruit, but it is not re- garded as serious, other than meaning a thinning out of buds. The fruit bud- ding has been noted as the heaviest in years. Early Spring bulb and rockery plants that were advanced somewhat by the recent warm spell have been damaged. In the high altitudes, where the drop was to 18, little damage was done, be- cause consistent cold temperature has held back vegetation. At Thomas, W.

Ashurst Sympathetic. Chairman Ashurst of the Judiciary Committee, declared on the floor that if Senators were “more careful regard- ing the human character and reputa- tions” of others they would receive more sympathy when petitions of the kind directed at Long were presented to Con- gress. He said he was “not without sym- ation, however. PFreedom of the press, as Ashurst saw it, meant a ‘“citizen may publish whatever he sees fit, but he must take the consequences for his publication be- fore the courts of the country. tended Long undoubtedly had the right to bring suit for damages if he had been libeled. Long disagreed, but said the matter should be cleared up and if such docu- ments were privileged “we should amend our rules.” A sharp attack on former Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana, one of the signers of the petition, had been loosed earlier in the Senate by Long. Parker’s name headed the list of signers of the petition. “This petition,” Long said, looking at the copy of it that lay before him on his desk, “is signed by a former Gov- ernor of the State, with whom I have been involved in court procecdings for 15 yegrs and political contests for about that long. *“This gentleman hes been very much unsuccessful before the courts and just as much unsuccessful before the people. “Same Old Claptrap.” “This is the same party who, while Governor of the State about 12 years ago, came to Washington and said that his own State of Louisiana was in com- mand of the outlaws and would have to have the United States Army to rescue it. “It is the same old claptrap and rot- tenness that he has undertook to parade over Louisiana for 12 or 15 ears.” ¥e . The petition signed by about 20 Louisianans, was referred by Vice Presi- dent Garner to the Elections Commit- tee.
