A—2 ¥ BUREAL CULLING ' ROGRAM STARTED Procedure Begun in Immigra- } tion and Naturalization Service. The Initial steps in the culling- out process, to which the new Immi- gration and Naturalization Service is to be subjected in order to keep within a $1,900.000 slash in funds, started today. Fleven “teams,” composed of & rep-| Tesentative from Immigration Service, another from naturalization, one from | the Civil Service Commission and one designated from the public, began in- terviewing members of the fleld force; scatiered over the country, in a test that -will determine who is to go and; who is to stay. H This action was ordered by D. W MacCormack, new Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, and is a brand-new venture in the general retrenchment program. All the force, which is made of what ‘were formerly the separate Bureaus of Immigration and Naturalization, are being given temporary appointments until this sur- vey. which is designed to retain those workers best fitted for their duties, is completed. No figures are yet obtain- able at the Department of Labor as to the number of workers who must be separated from service. ‘The Civil Service Commission desig- nated as its representatives on the “teams” members of the investigative staff who are skilled in conducting such oral quizzes as are being used M | this instance ; i Labor officials decided on this sur- vey instead of making an arbitrary selection of personnel to be retained. which is permissable under the re- organization order combining the two EXILE AND LASHING T0 CURB RACKETS . URGED BY EXPERTS led From First Page.) frankly what part an aroused public opinion might play in giving the police better support.” Mulrooney advocated Federal control of firearms and remarked that to obtain such legislation “you'll have to get rid of the gun lobby in Washing- ton. In support of his plea for Federal control, which included a central co- ordinating bureau, Mulrooney pointed out that the outstanding crimes of the present transcend State lines, also that the outstanding criminals of today have Tepresentatives and equipment in many States. Copeland and others shot questions at the veteran policeman. Mulrooney was particularly emphatic on the question of universal finger printing. . “No honest man should object,” he said. “The average young criminal of to- day has no intention of working." he said. “Hell tell you that without shame. You send him to prison and feed and cloth him and he has no idea that he is going to stay there long. The law of the land for him is the dollar.” Favors Exile for Racketeers. Keenan asked: “Do you think it would be a good thing to build & prison away from the country?” “You mean exile for racketeers?” “Yes, it would be a good thing,” Mul- rooney said. The former commissioner then ad- vocated 20 lashes with each 20-year sentence. * “I want you to know.” he said, “that the criminal has a large ego. “If you make the whipping public and humiliate them, you'll do much to- ward eliminating them.” Bolan sald it was a common thing to find paroled criminals returning to the police line-up, but he was not in general opposed to the parole system. He said an aroused public opinion would have a salutary psychological effect upon the courts. “Then you think an aroused, aggres- sive public opinion would help a great deal?” asked Copeland. “Yes,” he replied. Would Curb Arms Sale. He favored regulation of the sale of firearms, but did not believe that the law-abiding citizen should be denied the right to carry & gun. Copeland asked him about the sub- machine gun, especiallv if it was useful 1o the police. Bolan said it was of use to the police, but added that the police | could do without it if it were taken| away from others. “I am informed.” Copeland said, “that there is no military use for the sub-machine gun.” Former Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen followed Bolan with several specific recommendations, among them a central crime bureau. and amendment of the Sherman anti-trust laws to curb racketeers. Favors Check on Charters. He also urged that the State Labor Department be called upon to investi- gate avery action for a charter. The charter, he said, is an effective weapcn in the hands of the racketeers. He urged an amendment of the Fed- eral Constitution to give the Govern- ment concurrent jurisdiction with the States in crime, especially for homi- cide, felonies and firearms. Copeland told him that a Bar Association com- mittee was now drafting such an amendment. His next recommendation was that a duplicate copy of all complaints be for- warded to the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice. “Would it be advantageous.” asked * Copeland, “to incorporate in the N. R. A. codes a provision against the paying of tribute to racketeers?” “That's an excellent idea,” Whalen geplied. Praises New York Force. -to Scotland Yard. Whalen said that New York's Detective Bureau was more efficient. He was, nevertheless, in favor.of a national bureau to assist lo- cal police. Robert Darue, chairman of the Fed- eral Bar Association, said Scotland Yard did pot have the jurisdiction generally believed, being largely confined to Lon- don. ‘“Well,” said Copeland, “the Scotland ‘Yard we are talking about is the Scot- land Yard of Edgar Wallace and the fict] writers.” land adjourned the hearing for lunch, after Whalen accused Scotland Yard of claiming only the cases it could solve. “The others are dropped back inte thr‘ laps of the local authorities,” he sa! 4 SEEKS TRAI5E INCREASE CI;ldiln Minister Confers With ‘New Zealand Representative.

What’'s What Behind News in Capital. Hull Maintains Silence on Moley as President Spreads Oil. BY PAUL MALLON. der control. He has been the perfect gentle- man in the Moley case, openly and privately. Not a word has he uttered, except confidentially to President Roose- velt. The ship news reporters asked him about his relations with the No. 1 brain trustee when he arrived from Europe. He turned his head aside and looked at the ground awaiting the next ques- tion. No one has mentioned the subject to him since. Prof. Moley is maintaining his war debts and Russian office in the State Department as well as his kid- naping office in the Department of Justice. He is rarely in either of them. For days he has been out on the trail. For all inner and outer appedrances, Mr. Roosevelt has smoothed over the first threat of a break in his topmost circle. Much has been laid at Moley's door with which he had nothing to do. One injustice was done him in this column. It was related that he wired Hull from the ship coming back, asking for ress comment on his departure and received the answer: Moley Didn't Sign. “Press uncommented.” Purther in- vestigation indicates such a wire was sent and Moley’s name was signed to it, but he had nothing to do with it. Apparently his name was used by a member of his party more interested in publicity than he was. A hundred other yarns with less Joundation in fact have been whis- pered around about the ofessor. Some were invented by versaries in the inner circle (not Hull). Oth- ers were conjured by gossipers who like a good story whether it is true or not. To keep the inside history straight, the following facts may be set down as gospel. Mr. Roosevelt was responsible for Moley flying up to the Amberjack, wir- ing him to come that way. The President did not communicate with Moley about calling off his plane flight from Southampton to London. Moley canceled the arrangements on his own initiative. Sent But One Wire. Moley sent personally only one wire from the returning ship Manhattan. That went to Departmental Adviser Bullitt. It is not mvolved in the cur- rent debate. There is no question but what a good many. people have been shoot- ing at Moley on the inside. Even before the inauguration they inspired a story that Mr. Roosevelt was get- ting rid of him. Moley saw the headline while coming down to Washington on the presidential train. It read: “Moley To Be Ousted.” He dashed into the midst of news- men on the train demanding to know where they got such stuff. They had nothing to do with it. The story had been written by some one outside the regular White House press corps. In the recent publicity fracas he has kept as mum as Hull His friends whisper he will have something to say later. He has obtained copies of mes- sages from the radio log of the Man- hattan to publish when he is ready. Sad news for the power companies has been in the making at the Federal Commission for several days. it will include a much more spe- cific promise of a general water fawer investigation than was pub- icly offered by the commission a few weeks back. Apparently the com- mission is literally going to count the drops of water involved in the national power situation. The inquiry will lay the basis for future legislation to promote public power development. That is what Senator Costigan had in mind when he fostered the Senate resolution, directing the inquiry to be made. ‘There is another industry which has no defenders on the inside in this ad- ministration. That is coal. From the start, those closest to the ‘White House have expected that the coal crowd is the only one with which they would have serious code trouble. ‘Would Welcome Fight. It is also the only one with which they welcome a test fight. Gen. John- son has done all he could to avoid court squabbles with other industries. The original blanket code idea was dropped for fear of constitutional arguments. Each succeeding step has been care- fully made voluntary (in name at any rate) so the recovery scheme could be kept out of the jurisdiction of judges. The real reason Johnson feels differ- ently about coal is that the Govern- ment can make its best case on that issue. It is an interstate natural resource. The Government has legal rights over natural resources that it does not have over private industries like steel' and automobiles. N Also, the larger mine operators side with the Government. They want the chiseling fringe -required to compete on a fair basis. . Beyond either of these considerations back stage is the question of public opinion. The N. R. A. experts con- fident of popular support in a conflict with the coal industry that they might not have in_some other cases.

By the Assoclated Press. SALEM, Mass., August 14.—Jessie B. P there is any fire in the eye of | Costello, laughing as she ran a gant- State Secretary Hull, it is well un-|jet of 700 persons who had gathered in front of the court house, today heard the upemn?‘ of the defense argument which she hoped would save her from a death sentence. William G. Clark of defense counsel began the argument intended to con- vince the jurors that the millions of words of testimony taken in the trial had failed to prove that the attrac- tive 32-year-old widow administered a fatal dose of poison to her husband, Fire Capt. Willlam J. Costello of Pea- body. To Take Three Hours. Clark was expected to consume about three hours in his presentation and the State to take the same amount of time. Tomorrow, Mrs. Costello plans to make a brief personal plea to be sent home to her Peabody cottage and her three children. Then the judge will deliver his charge and the case will be in the hands of the jury, it was expected, tomorrow afternoon. Clark first raised a question as to whethey the dead fire captain really had been murdered. “The first thing the Government must_establish in this case, to a moral certainty, is that a murder has been committed,” Clark said. “If you are led to speculation or conjecture as to this point you will go no further. There is nothing in this case to show whether William J. Cos- tello died by murder, accident or sui- cide.” He said the defense would show “break after break in the chain of cir- cumstantial evidence.” Clark asked: “Are we trying Jessie Costello for profanity?” “If we stepped into the court roomh the first few days of this trial we would wonder if Jessie B. Costello was being tried for profanity and vulgarity.” Questions Profanity. “I am anxious for my brother to ex- plain what profanity has to do with premeditated murder.” Clark said the Government had “de- faulted on its promissory notes.” “Is there any evidence of her being a profane person except from the poisoned lips of John Costello. Is there any proof that she was lewd except from the leprous lips of Edward J. Mc- Mahon?” Costello, brother of the dead man, had testified that the defendant had used profanity in referring to her father, Andrew J. Fyfe, and Edward McMahon, a former policeman, had testified to an alleged amorous affair with her. The attorney said it “does violence to your intelligence” to attempt to have you believe that a motive for this crime was that Mrs. Costello owed McMsahon money. He also decried the charge that “a desire to continue with adultery” was a motive for the alleged crime.” The defense attorney accused State Detective Richard Griffin, a State witness, of “hitting below the beit by bringing that viper McMahon into the Jall and trying to trap this defendant.” Issue Held Confused. Clark charged that medical witnesses had ‘“confused the issue.” that they were at variance in important points in the case. He sald they had not defi- nitely proven that thete was enough poison in the body of Costelio to cause death. The attorney said it was reasonable to assume that Costello took his own Jife without leaving a note and without “saying one last fond goodby to his children” because he did not want to “leave the stain of suicide on those he left behind.” Referring to McMahon, Clark asked that not a word from his “poisoned lips” be taken as fact. “Whether you believe what he said or not, remember this that Mrs. Cos- tello's children will never grow up and say their mother's name is an anethma to them.” “I am obliged to say that McMahon is a liar because it comes from his own lips.” 10,000,000 WORKERS ESTIMATED UNDER BLUE EAGLE CODES (Continued From Pirst Page.) work week for the industry, with pro- vision for peak production demands. This would* affect all employes ex- cept maintenance crews, engineers, fire- men, electricians, tire testers, sales and supervising staffs and office employes. For accounting. clerical, office, serv- ice or sales employes, excepting out- side salesmen, a 40-hour week would be provided, Minimum wages of 40 cents an hour were proposed for factory workers, un- less the rate was less on July 15, 1920. Weekly minimums of from $14 in cities of from 2,500 to 250,000 to $15 in cities above 500,000 were incorporated. The Recovery Administration’s hope is that within 90 days virtually all basic employers will be covered in their own codes. . An appeal by Representative Jones, Democrat, of Texas, that all mortgage and loan companies be asked to formu- late & code which would end foreclo- sures on city and farm properties for three years was made yesterday. Jones made the proposal in a letter to wen, Johnson, Egmunz out that “this would work no hardship on these com- panies as most of them desire to have money at interest.” “At any rate,” he added. “it is asking but a small contribution toward the re- covery program.” Under Jones’ plan, owners would not be required to pay any principal instal- ments that might come due, provided interest and taxes were paid. “In addition,” the Texan said, “T think that all of such companies should be required not to institute or press foreciosure proceedings under any c cumstances, either for principal or terest, for a period of six months, thus giving opportunity for legislative mea- sures which have been enacted to get into working order. “My reason for making (his request has been the refusal of a considerable number of these mortgage and loan companies to co-operate in any way in carrying out the program.” MURPHY NAMED HEAD OF CHILD WELFARE BODY Officers of League for Years 1933- 34 Are Selected—Balti- morean Is Treasurer.

Prof. William F. Ogburn, nationally known economist, today ended the con- troversy between himself and Mrs. Mary Harriman Rumsey, chairman of N. R. A, over policies by formally pre- senting his resignation to Hugh 8. Johnson, recovery administrator. The economist left his written resig- nation with the administrator after waiting several hours in Johnson's of- fice. Shortly after Johnson left to go to the White House without seeing Ogburn, the professor left the building and declined to accept another ap- pointment for the afterncon to see his_chief. He told Johnson's secretary he was returning to Chicago and could be reached there if Johnson had any mes- sage for him. In presenting his resignation, Ogburn terminated a difference of opinion which has kept him and the chairman of the board. thq wealthy and socially prominent Mrs. Rumsey, in conflict for some time. Last week while he was in Chicago Ogburn\was advised by Secretary Roper, the chalrman of the Cabinet Advisory Board of N. R. A. that he had been transferred to another post. immediately to the Capital, Ogburn saw Johnson and was asked Saturday to continue as a member of the Advisory Board and to present his views on pol- icies for the board. It was this com- pilation that Ogburn failed to reach Johnson with today. In resigning, Ogburn said: “I have decided I can best serve the consuming public and N. R. A. by withdrawing, thereby leaving you free to effect such recrganization of the consumer unit of N. R. A. as you may desire.” The Chicago University professor added there was “no personal feud” be- tween himself apd Mrs. Rumsey, assert- |ing he had conle to Washington at & sacrifice and that he was interested only in protecting the consumer. His proposed outline of policy for the consumers’ board included creation of a system of price indexes showing the trend of purchasing power as compared with rising prices.

CALIFORNIA PEACH AGREEMENT IS NEAR Marketing Pact Is Likely to Be Put Into Effect for Trade Immediately. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to- day received the proposed marketing agreement for California cling peaches and indications were that it would put it into effect within the next few hours. A majority of the canners repre- sented signed the revised agreement 1 and it was carried today to the Secre- tary of Agriculture by Dr. H. R. Tolley, chief of the farm administration’s fruits and vegetables section. Apparently all difficulties have been disposed of. and in view of the emer- gency situation in the California peach- gfowing section it was expected that ! Secretary Wallace would make the ! agreement effective immediately. It provides a $20 a ton minimum for peaches to the growers and limits the pack for this year's crop to 218,000 tons The California peach agreement will be the second marketing agree- ment formally proclaimed by the farm administration, the first being the Chicago milk agreement, which is now being tested in the courts.

Wisconsin Faces Third Milk War as Farmers Vote to Act. By the Associated Press. HORICON, Wis, August 14—Wis- consin today faced possibility of a third milk strike, which if called, would be launched without advance notice to prevent efforts to block it or nullify its effect. Fifteen thousand farmers from over the State, at a picnic of the Dodge County unit of the Wisconsin Co-oper- ative MiligPool voted yesterday to with- hold milk from the market on a min- ute’s notice should leaders of the pool s0_order. In an address, Walter M. Bingler of Shiocton, pool president, said cheese has dropped to a little over 10 cents in Wisconsin. - The price was 12 cents shortly after a strike last May. The first strike was called last February. The picnickers adopted & resolution extending sympathy to the New York milk strikers and called upon farmers, organized labor and the public to give them full moral and economic support. They also commended the strike vote of Connecticut dairymen, not knowing that leaders there had reached agree- ment to abandon holiday plans. ‘They asked the Secretary of Agri. culture, under the restrictions of the national farm code, to prevent milk shipments to strike territory and called upon the Governors of Wisconsin, Michigan and Dlinois to aid in pre- venting them.
