A1t RED CROSS URGED A0S, RELIEFUNT Liherty League Head Hits “Pernicious System” in Political Control. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, December 8—Use of the American Red Cross for distributing | direct relief funds was advocated to- night by Jouett Shouse, president of | the American Liberty League, in a speech before the Beacon Society. The Liberty League was organized with the announced intention of safe- guarding constitutional rights and liberties. Avowedly it is not anti- New Deal but the Roosevelt Adminis- tration apparently regards its atti- tude as critical, if not downright un- friendly. Shouse said work projects and self- “help programs could best be done by the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration but that it should aban- don the handling of direct relief. “The most dangerous circumstance connected with the entire question | of relief 1s the utilization of a polit- | jcal agency to administer relief,” hc‘ said. = “Device of Bureaucracy. “The distribution of largess from the public treasury is one of the most THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO Time to get up, thought the pup, but a few minutes more won't do so back to bed go these sleepy heads. ancient devices by which bureau- cracies and other undemocratic gov- ernments have sought to maintain themselves in power. “Heretofore in the United States such attempts have been restricted to the operations of municipal polit- jcal machines in some of our larger cities. There they have been re- markably effective and have con- stituted the chief defense against periodic efforts of reform. “Now, for the first time, there is the possibility that this pernicious system may be tried on a nation- wide basis. I do not say it is being tried but I do say that we have pro- vided the machinery for such an STORM TROOPS CUT German Police Absorb Brown Shirts and Schutz Staffel. BERLIN, December 8 (#).—Police Gen. Kurt Daluege said today the German police system gradually is absorbing the Storm Troops which will become “part of the nationalistic movement according to Der Fuehrer's orders.” “About 10,000 Brown-Shirt men and Schutz Staffel members,” he said, “al- ready have joined the ranks of the police and particular attention will be paid to see that enlistment of Brown Shirters of long standing will be continued.” — .

LONDON, December 8.—The fate of the three-power naval conversations rested significantly with the Japa- nese tonight. ‘The American delegation let it be| understood that unless the Japanese surrender their demand for full equal- ity, they probably will move early next week toward concluding the con- versations and returning home.” The Americans feel there is noth- ing further to do unless Japan takes a more concilatory attitude. If the Japanese are unable to give assur- ances they will change their demands by the time the Washington treaty is denounced, the Americans may pull out. Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, played golf secretly today with Japanese Antbassador Matsu- daira, in order to discuss the situa- tion, but the outlook remained un- changed. At the start of the conversations the Japanese proposed a new treaty granting Japan full naval equality and changing the method of limita- tion from categories to a global ton- nage system. They sought to reduce | or abolish battleships, aircraft carriers | many ! and large cruisers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 8.—A woman and two men, picked up on suspicion here Monday, were held tonight on warrants charging them with participating in a hold-up and shooting at a filling station at Col- linsville, Ill, the night of Novem- ber 21.

The practice of most colleges in | turning away prospective students ac- | cording to their own standards of | judging mentality was criticized by | Dr. Arthur H. Ruggles, director of | Butler Hospital, at Providence, R. I., | in a speech at the annual dinner of | the Washington Institute of Mental Hygiene, held at the Y. W. C. A. Fri- day night. Since the best colleges are required to turn away many students because | of lack of facilities anyway, Dr.! Ruggles said, they should adopt new standards which would permit ac~ ceptance of students who have mental aberrations which could, under proper conditions, be easily remedied. Since 10 per cent, of those admitted fail anyway, he said, those pre-judged from a mental standpoint should be given an opportunity to show that they can achieve an education that will make them useful citizens, Dr. Ruggles declared that in & great many of the rejected cases emo- tional barriers which can easily be broken down are the only reason for their rejection. Dr. William A. White, superintend- ent of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and president of the society, declared great advances in the treatment of mental cases have been made since the begin- ning of the present century. Progress of character education in the District of Columbia schools was explained to the society by Dr. Frank ‘W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, attempt and until that machinery is dismantled it will constitute a per- manent temptation for misuse.

Shouse said tnere had been a trend | away from the Constitution during recent vears which had been “ac- centuated since the advent of the so- called New Deal.” Invasion Blamed. He said he did not mean to suggest that those charged with administering the Government had any conscious or deliberate purpose of subverting the Constitution. One invasion would lead to another, however, he added, and they should | cease. Eaclier in the day, Shouse demurred to criticism that the league was un- friendly to the administration and concerned primarily with protecting | erty rights. Prom. now on, he said, the league will be fully occupied with its program without going into past leg\slm}on- too much, but with the determination that encroachments on the Constitu- tion must be avoided. ,,,,,, e POET’S KIN WEDS Longfellow's Craigie House Is Scene of Nuptials.
