A—2 sxsx PRESIDENT AVOIDS NAMING D. C. HEADS Believed to Favor One-Man Rule Instead of Com- missioners. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Btaft Correspondent of The Star. HYDE PARK, N. Y, August 20—| President Roosevelt and Postmaster | General Farley have had their talk here about patronage, but the naming of two new civilian Commissioners for the District of Columbia was not even mentioned during their conference. Both the President and Mr. Farley are the authorities for this statement. It was said afterwards that they not only avoided consideration of the Com- missioner appointments, but the selec- tion of a successor to United States At- torney Rover and Judge Kathryn Bellers of the Juvenile Court, as well. | Mr. Farley said today, as he was' Jeaving for New York, where he ex- pects to stay a day or so before re- tu-ning to Washington, that he did not bring up the supject of the District Commissioners and that the President made no mention of it. He said he as- sumed that the President was not ready to discuss it. Indefinite Delay Seen. The elimination of this patronage matter from their discussion was taken here today as strengthening the belief that it is the President’s purpose to let the matter “ride” for a while and that he will postpone disposing of this prob- lem until after he gets back to the White House, if not for an indefinite period. Within the past week it has been hinted that the President’s idea in putting off naming the Commissioners is to let the present Board of Commis- sioners continue in office until legis- lation has been obtained abolishing the Commissioners and substituting & one-man rule for the city. Mr. Roose- velt is known to be 1tmvorubly inclined toward this proposal. It is knawfl",J however, that this was not mentioned during the President's talk here with Mr. Farley. Not only was the District left out of the President's patronage confer- ence, but from his conference with Secretary of Interior Ickes, Administra- tor of Public Works, Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Ickes spent several hours | discussing what is being done in the | advancement of the public works pro- | gram, the scope of their discussion be- | ing of wide range, but not wide enough | to include the Capital City's part in the great movement for recovery. Park Transfer Considered. ‘Moreover, Mr. Ickes is understood to have not taken up with the President the matter of transferring administra- tion of the parks in the District from the Interior Department to the local suthorities. Senator King of Utah, chairman of the Senate District Com- mittee, is known to have urged upon Mr. Ickes such a transfer of adminis- tration, and there has been an assump- tion that the Interior Department head would take the matter up with the President. But thus far, according to authorities here, this has not yet been done. It was thought, too, that Mr. Ickes, as Administrator of Public Works, in his desire to get the general public works program moving throughout the country, might have made some men- tion of the gasoline and water-tax funds of the District, which are being withheld from immediate use by order of Lewis Douglas, director of the budget, which funds could be used in ‘Washington in connection with public works, but he did not do so. Both Secretary Ickes and Postmas- ter General Farley were overnight guests at the Summer White House. This made it possible for them to par- ticipate in the picnic party given by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt last night on the lawn of their Val-Kill| cotiage, which was attended also by the newspaper correspondents and members of the executive staff. The two cabinet members left Krum Elbow early today, and had taken their de- parture before the President was up. Secretary Ickes boarded a plane out- side of Poughkeepsie for Washington, gh)le Mr. Farley motored to New York ity. President Rcosevelt will go on an- other motor trip this afternoon, this time visiting Albany, Troy, Rensselear, Menands and Watervleit. He will be formally received by the mayors of these places, and while at Albany will be entertained by Gov. Lehman, at the What's What Behind News in Capital. Moley Runs Magazine in Opposition to Al Smith. BY PAUL MALLON. new Moley magazine will run in opposition to Al Smith. Administration wire pullers have been worried for weeks ebout the color of the ink flow- ing from Al's crafty pen. They note he is praising the administration with faint damns. They fear he may start raising: cain at any moment. Particularly annoying was his N. R. A. booster speech. He never mentioned Roosevelt by name. It was always “the President,” in an impersonal sort of way. And about all he said was: “If there is an itch of doubt on the back of your neck, don't scratch it yet—wait.” Completes Public Contacts. The Moley magazine will tell the Roosevelt story each week in fairer terms than Al does in his monthly. It will complete the string of direct con- tacts Mr. Roosevelt is carefuly estab- lishing between himself and the people. It is “the personal political work” which Moley was to undertake for the President “about September 15.” The date was moved ug a week to hurry things along, .as the story was leaking out bit by bit. Gossipers probably will always insist that Moley was kicked out. His trou- bles with State Secretary Hull make it look that way. Nevertheless that is not the way it happened. Hull Didn’t Complain. ‘The initiative in the affair came from Moley, not Hull. Some other of Mr. Roosevelt's advisers made Moley's ten- ure in the State Department more em- barrassing than Hull made it. Hull is telling the absolute truth when he says he never complained to Mr. Roose- velt direct about Moley. The fact is Moley promoted another Job for himself and jumped. You can bet your last cent he will continue to be as close to Mr. velt persgnally as Louls Howe will permit. Cabineteers Absent.” ‘The Government is out of town until after Labor day. Even the corridors around the N. R. A. are empty. Gone or going are: The President; Cabineteers Woodin, Hull; Brain Trustees Tugwell, Moley, Sprague; half the Undersecretaries. The main idea is to have e one get in a vacation before the hectic Winter starts. The business angle of it is that they cannot do much more than they have dome until they see how Setpember goes. The signs all indicate the Pres- ident will give September a full chance before he takes his nect step. Present plans are to conduct a psy- chology recovery campaign to help the Fall upturn along. Mr. Roosevelt's speech Saturday hailing the “upward surge” was only the first step. You will begin to get favorable N. R. A. material shortly by the column full.

Even the Statue of Freedom on the Capitol dome smiled at the latest N. R. A. yarn from Iowa. It concerns a young merchant in & small town there. He had to have an N. R. A. emblem and was told that he could not get it unless he hired an ad- ditional employe. He had only one boy helping him, and he could not af- ford another.

Fly, a specisl issistant attorney general, to dismiss the plea for a temporary injunction. In halting arguments yesterday with an announcement “every effort” would be made to hand down his decision to- day, Justice O'Donoghue accepted state- ments of attorneys for both the Gov- ernment and the Chicago dealers that the issue before his court was a test of the legality of the emergency legislation. Fly, refuting statements made by Dodds, had declared a decision favor- able to Secretary Wallace was necessary to stem the “rebellion” of producers in the neighborhood of Chicago and Phil- adelphia as well. “In those districts,” said Fly, “there 1s considerable difficulty with producers. It is necessary for this court to judge the agricultural adjustment act as emergency legislation in order to restore the possibility of recovery to the farm- ers of the Nation.” Described as “Parasites.” Earlier in yesterday's session Fly had called the “wayside milk dealers” “parasites” and “termites boring into the very foundation of the structure of recovery.” Dodds had termed them *“patriotic benefactors.” Dodds and Burkinshaw contended the Chicago agreement was unconstitution- al because it would “bankrupt” the wayside dealers by forcing them to sell milk at the same price as all other Chi- cago companies. “All but six wayside stations,” sald Dodds, “are outside of the city limits of Chicago. These dealers feel that if they are forced to sell milk at 10 cents per quart their customers will buy milk delivered at their doorsteps—at a price equal to that which they will be forced to charge. “This will cheat the poor of Chicago of an opportunity to obtain milk at prices possible when they call for, pay cash and carry home their own supply. Burkinshaw earlier declared the way- side dealers purchased their milk at 31, cents per quart from producers and sold it at 6% cents per to those e eciarea, th 3 He declared the agreement was un- fair and said the price-fixing section of the adjustment act was unconstitutional.

The idea that Senator Couzens would think for a minute of taking the Treas- ury Secretaryship is considered prepos- terous by those closest to him. He told them all before he recently went West that he was not fool enough to bite on anything like that. The Treasury stories are not sponsored by administration au- thorities. No ome aside from mewspaper men ever mentioned the subject to him before he left here. The current talk seems to center around the fact he gave anti-Hoover and pro-Roosevelt testimony at the g‘?flt bank hearing. There is nothing Hopes for G. O. P. Comeback.

Fund Use Limited. “I wish it might be possible for you to authorize the use of the water tax money and the gasoline tax money in the District,” Senator Copeland wrote. “These funds cannot be used for any other purpose than the im- provement of the water system and im- provement of the roads. “It seems to me that in these times when employment is so important that it is wise to go forward with these im- provements.” = Approximately 115 employes in" the highway division had to be placed on furlough recently, and it was sald by District officials today that after the middle of September other workers in that branch of the municipal service will have to be laid off rather rapidly until a total of 250 in the highway divi- sion are on furlough. In the Water Department 466 work- ers have had to on furlough since the the present fiscal year. It has been pointed out that permission to funds use the would make possible re-employment of these workers and avold ther lay- offs in the highway division. Approval Not Given. The current District appropriation act authorizes use of $1,500,000 of gas tax surplus and $635,000 of water fund surplus, provided the budget director g\u approval to the expenditure. The 'ommissioners have applied for permis- sion to use all of the gas tax and a large part of the water funds mentioned in the appropriation act, and their ap- plication has been strongly supported by Chairman King of the Senate com- mittee. Thus far the use of the funds has not been authorized, budget offi- cials having stated they wanted to wait and see what District work is authorized under the Federal public works program in the recovery act. Senator King said today he would renew his efforts to have the gas tax and water fund surpluses made avail- able as soon as Budget Director Doug- las returns to the city, probably within the next day or two. The Utah Senator said he would confer with Douglas and urge him to authorize expenditure of these funds as a means of putting back to work Water Department and high- way employes already on furlough and to prevent the laying off of additional men. —_— NATIONALS DEFEAT CLEVELAND INDIANS IN FIRST CONTEST (Continued From First Page.) to left.

TIGHTER TAX LAWS URGED BY NALOY & Speaker at National Bar As- sociation Sessions Cites Morgan Case. By the Associated Press. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August 29— A promise of new legislation that will “halt the manipulation of the income tax laws to the private and personal Interest of the wealthy” was voiced to- day by Pat Malloy, Federal Assistant Attorney General in charge of tax eva- slon and crime, in an address to a group of attorneys here in advance of the annual convention of the American Bar Association. Speaking before the mineral section of the bar assoclation, Malloy declared: “What we must have—what we shall have, if the forces of the new revolu- tion are to function—is a redistribu- tion of the tax burdens of America.” He pledged that “every agency of the Government has been conscripted for that purpose; that every influence it has or can extend will be spent in that direction.” Refers to Morgan. He referred to revelations before s Senate investigating committee that J. P. Morgan and some of his associates had paid no income taxes in recent years, “while the general mass of the public, including very low salaried stenograph- ers, had been paying its support to the functions of government the years through.” “I do not say—I am not compelled to say,” he continued, “that the last administration in its dealings with this particular series of tax matters was wrong. * * * But I do remind you that perhaps other cases of like character still exist, and what to do with them is a problem that confronts the integrity and courage of every man. “Of this you may be assured—the present Department of Justice will co- operate with the Treasury Department to work out a way, with the help of Congress, to halt the manipulation of the income tax laws to the private and personal interest of the wealthy, and to make it possible that such evasion as that which occurred in the Mitchell case shall not be an easy nor an at- tractive method of dealing with the Government.” (Charles E. Mitchell, financier, was acquitted of having vio- lated the law in claiming income tax deductions.) A call for a systematic Natlon-wide campaign by attorneys to drive from their profession the unscrupulous and dishonest practitioner was sounded by Clarence E. Martin of Martinsburg, W. Va., president of the American Bar Association. Martin charged unprincipled lawyers have aroused a public distrust of the ‘profession which finds “the honest in- :gntlnn of lawyers everywhere chal- enged " public distrust of the profession which finds “the honest intention of lawyers everywhere challenged.” The speaker lamented a lack of co- ordinated effort by the American bar to solve its problems and suggested all State bar associations agree on a plan of action and that they co-operate with the national association without neces- sarily affiliating with it.
