A2 W CLUE TO REDFERN REPORTEDTOU.S. Man Tells Consul in Panama of Living With Flyer in Brazilian Wilds. B the Associated Press. COLON, Panama, May 29.—An amazing account of finding Paul Red- fern, American aviator who disap- peared eight years ago, living as ‘a “medicine man” 1in the jungle of Dutch Guiana, was related today by Tom Roche. The informant, a German-born | American citizen, said he lived for three months in 1933 with Redfern, who vanished while on a flight from Brunswick, Ga., to Rio de Janeiro. Roche previously had told his story to James L. Parks, United States con- | sul here, and Park relayed to the State Department at Washington the narrator's offer to lead a rescue ex- | pedition to Redfern's rude hut in an| Indian village far from civilization.

This one of its last official acts was very imposing. The heading showed that. It was enough to frighten the wits of an average reader. If you have heart trouble perhaps you had better not read it, but, right up at the top, the paper was deco- rated with the following official symbols: “Registry No. 1122/22; approved code No. 84-Al; notice of opportunity to be heard; administrative order No. 84/A1-5” Any one could see from that that the N. R. A. in this case meant business. BY PAUL MALLON, FULL explanation of how the N. R. A. got into the shape it is now in may be found in an Roche said Redfern was critically | fnjured when his plane crashed against a mountain. Indians who found the aviator with both legs and his left arm broken nursed the fiyer back to health, he said He declared he encountered Red- fern in the Indian village after hear- | ing natives talk of the “great wnug? medicine man.” The American identified himself as Redfern. Roche asserted, and related the circumstances of the mishap which befell his attempted non-stop | hop to Rio de Janeiro. Roche said the flyer had his res- cuers retrieve the canvas fuselage from the wreckage of his plane and spread | it above his hut as a roof covering. The Roche said he recalled as being 773.

Redfern's Father to Come Here to | Follow Developments. | In view of the many false reports | concerning Paul Redfern which have come from the Brazilian jungles dur- | ing the eight years since he disap- | peared, State Department officials are | inclined to be pessimistic regarding the latest reports that he has been found.

In 1932 C. G. Hassler, an engineer, said that two men, out of the jungle, had re- ported to him that Redfern was living with Paratin Indians and that they knew him. Several times explorers have looked for him and airmen have flown over the jungle looking for him or the wreckage of his plane. Among the American pilots who searched for Redfern was Lewis A.

By the Associated Press. RENO, Nev., May 29.—Pearl §. Buck, author of “The Good Earth,” was re- ported by a reliable source yesterday to have established residence on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, presum- ably for divorce. The confidential source said Mrs. Buck, whose husband is John Lossing Buck, arrived here from New York several days ago. With scores of homes available to her at the lake and many miles of shore line in Nevada, it could not be learned immediately the exact location of the house she is reported to have taken. Lake Tahoe is about 45 miles from Reno. Despite the reports, a check of avail- able Reno attorneys failed to disclose whether or not she has retained coun- zel. A divorce suit could not be filed until after six weeks of residence in Nevada. | of it. And the business it meant was dis- | closed in the first paragraph of the order, which said: The fiy swatter manufacturing industry, through the basic code authority, has submitted an appli= cation for amendment to the ap- pendir for said fly swatter manu- facturing industry by deleting from said appendiz section 3 thereof, as set forth in schedule ‘A’ attached hereto, and hereby made a part hereof.” The order contained 500 words just | as imposing as those here cited. They simply meant that the price fixing and some other features of the fly- | swatting code were going to be| amended. A hearing was going to | White, and woe be unto any fly swat- | ters who failed to agree. A lot of N. R. A. officials, including Mr. White, probably worked long and hard on the problems of this praise- worthy industry. The preparation of the order must have occupied a lawyer for three days. You may suspect their work was all in vain because of the Supreme Court decision, but it | may not turn out that way. Some N. R. A. critics are unofficially | moving to take up a collection to chisel the fly-swatting order in stone as an epitaph for the Blue Eagle. One sentence will be added at the bottom: | “Here lies the N. R. A. itself out swatting flies.” It wore | Post-mortem. The best New Dealers are now say- ing. off the record, that if they | codified the 10 or 12 major industries of the country, and let the rest go, the N. R. A. would not only have been constitutional, but would have become popular and successful. Looking back, they are willing to | concede privately that the point where | they made their first mistake was in the blanket application of the Blue Eagle. All expansions undertaken since then only amplified the original error. | This is not entirely second-guess- | ing. The issue was hotly debated on the inside at the time. The dominating N. R. A. group took the position that it had to codify every- body if it was going to codify any- body. Right at that point is where the N. R. A. movement got out of the, realm of interstate commerce and into | the grave where the Supreme Court | | now has buried its good features as| STEINMETZ GUILTY IN WIFE SLAYING First-Degree Manslaughter Ruled in Slaying of Bride and Priest. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 29.—Joseph L. Steinmetz, 22-year-old divinity stu- dent, was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree early today for the hotel room slaying of his 17-year-old | bride, former Hollywood, Calif, high school girl. He faces & maximum sentence ‘of 25 years in prison, although the jury “strongly” recommended mercy. Steinmetz was accused of shooting his bride. the former Ruth Armstrong, and a priest, Rev. Joseph J. Leonard, when he found the former partly un- clothed in the priest’s room -in the Knights of Columbus Hotel last No- vember. He was tried only for the death of his wife. Out Nearly 15 Hours. The jury brought in its verdict after deliberating 14 hours and 55 minutes. Steinmetz paled but said nothing. Judge Charles C. Nott, jr., set June 14 as the date for sentence. The penalty for manslaughter in the first degree is a sentence of from one to 20 years, which the court may sus- pend. There is, however, a manda- tory sentence of five years because the crime was committed with a deadly weapon. The prosecution charged that Stein- metz shot his wife and the priest in a Jjealous rage. The defense maintained he was so intoxicated he did not know what he was doing. Steinmetz married his wife after meeting her on a New York-to-Call fornia bus. He brought her back to fuselage bore numbers which | be held about it June 5 in the office New York and it was while they were | of Deputy Administrator H. Ferris | Staying at the Knights of Columbus Hotel that they met the priest. Told of Drinking. Steinmetz testified that on the day of the shooting he and his wife had been given liquor by the priest, after which the priest took her to his room under the guise of hearing her con- fession. The young husband became suspicious and went to the priest’s room, where, he testified, he found them kissing. After the shooting, Steinmetz col- lapsed and remained in a stupor for two days. U. S. CREDIT POWER OPPOSED BY YOUNG | IN SUBCOMMITTEE (Continued From First Page.) the main with only one part of the banking set-up, Young reiterated rec- ommendations he made to the com- mittee several years ago, namely. that all commercial deposit banking be carried on under one law: that ex- amination of banks and their con- trol be under one authority, and that all banks of deposit be required to join the reserve system. Advantages Seen. He said he could see some advant- ages of a central bank, but that it not be “accomplished indi- rectly. “If we are to have a central bank, then our entire law should be re- drafted so as to be suitable to one central bank operation. The reten- tion of the regional facade may, I fear, lead the American people to think ' they are retaining their regional banks when in fact they are creating a cen- tral one. Such a basic issue should not be settled by indirection.” The bill, he added, failed to “provide | an insulated body, such as has been | described as a ‘supreme court of finance.’ and at the same time it re- moves the checks and balances which | have been imposed on the present system. Is it any wonder that such a violent change should create appre- well as the bad. What floored the New Dealers about | the court decision was the unznimity | They knew it was going to be‘ bad, but they did not know it would be that bad. They had no advance warning of its sweeping character. | You could tell from the looks on their | fr#ws when they heard about it. | Biddle Tosses in Sponge. A good example is what happened | in a hearing being conducted by the National Labor Relations Board. Chairman Biddle was presiding when the decision was brought in. He in- terrupted the witness on the stand and announced: “Well, gentlemen, there seems to be | no reason for going on any further with this.” The attorney for a union asked that the witness be permitted to conclude his testimony for the record. and this was permitted. The New Deal crowd was more anzious to learn what the Supreme Court would say about the N. R. A. than they were about the gold de- cision. Labor Department Solicitor Wyzanski afranged a special secret cable code 30 his office could flash him the news while he attended the labor meeting at the League of Nations headquarters in Geneva. Different States of the Union were selected to designate various rulings. Thus, Arizona would mean the court had ruled N. R. A. out; New York would mean the intrastate phases were adjudged illegal. What they should have cabled him was the name of the one State he for- got to mention: “Little America.” The inside crowd says the best prospective candidate for chairman- ship of the new Social Security Board is Josephine Roche, now Assistant Treasury Secretary. She ran a coal mine successfully in Colorado. Another probable appointee to the board is Edwin E. Witte of Wisconsin, who helped draft the legislation. A spirited inner contest is on among some other applicants for positions on the board, most of whom will be dis- appointed. Politics Plus Moral. One day recently the nomination of ‘William J. Gerig of Arkansas to be a member of the Mississippi River Commission was suddenly withdrawn by the President and replaced by that of Harry N. Phar, also an Arkansan, for the same job. Behind this event lies a little story of politics with a moral. It began when Secretary of War Dern met Senate Democratic Leader Robinson (of Arkansas) at a social gathering. Mr. Dern greeted the Senator warmly and then startled him by saying he had just named an Arkansan for the River Commission. This was the fisst Robinson had hension and dissent?” Substitution Urged. Substitution of a Government- owned central bank bill for the pend- | ing omnibus bank measure was urged by Louis B. Ward, Washington repre- sentative of Father Charles E. Cough- | lin's National Union for Bocial Justice, when he appeared before the sub- | committee yesterday and contended | the present system gave private bank- | ers the power to ‘“create depression | or decree prosperity at will.” | Appearing as a self-styled “lob- | byist” for the central bank vropunl‘\ which Father Coughlin drafted for | Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, Ward said: | “The present banking system, with | its creation of a system of credit money and operating under the Fed- | eral Reserve act, puts the power over money and credit in the hands of the | bankers and gives them the power to create depression or decree prosperity | at will. Such power over money and | credit is sanctioned by law under the present Federal Reserve act.” JANE ADDAM.S' LIBRARY WILLED TO HULL HOUSE By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 29.—Hull House, the settlement she founded, is the first beneficiary listed in the will of Jane Addams, famous Chicago soci worker, who died last week at the age of 75, ‘The will, disposing of personal prop- erty estimated as worth $10,000 and a farm near Cedarville, Ill, her birth- place, was filed for probate yesterday. To Hull House Miss Addams left her furniture and her books. A Nobel peace medallion was included.

Finally this talk reached the right Democratic au- thorities. ‘The justice of Robinson's contention was 80 evident that the President went to the unusual extent of withdrawing a nomination already sent to the Senate.

Countless Thousands of Employes Over Nation Are Told Hours and Wages 1 Provisions (Oopvrivht 1035, by the Associated Press) | CHICAGO, May 29.— Countless | thousands of American employes today received the reassuring answer of | “No!” to the question foremost in their | minds, “Will our hours and wages be | disturbed by the Supreme Court's N. R. A. decision?” | From the country's far-flung indus- ' trial front reports which poured into | this crossroads of the Nation indi- | cated that numerous large industries were standing by their present stand- ards of hours and wages, despite the high court ruling that legally the Blue Eagle is as dead as the dodo bird. Concurrent with these assurances came warnings from industrial leaders that hasty price cutting might lead to a demoralization of business. Evi- dence that such a danger existed came from New York, where some dealers | slashed prices of popular brands of cigarettes by about 2 cents a package Price cutting also was seen in the toilet goods, liquor and book fields, Blue Eagle Spirit Lives. ‘The reports that the Blue Eagle's spirit is still fluttering came from widely-separated industrial centers. They included statements to this effect from Philip K. Wrigley, president of the William Wrigley, jr. Co., gum manufacturers; John McKinlay. presi- dent of Marshal Field & Co.; th” In- ternational Association of Blue Print and Allled Industries; Mark Cressup, president of Hart Schaffner & Marx, clothing manufacturers: F.

Kelly. president of The Fair, Chicago department store operators: the Chrys- ler Motor Car Co, the Retail Mer- chants’ Association of San Francisco and many others. Speaking as chairman of the Men's Clothing Code Authority, Cressup said: “About 40.000 people have been put back to work in the industry, and to do anything to disturb that situa- tion at present would create a& most chaotic condition.” From Clarel B. Mapes, secretary of the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas As- sociation, came the opinion: “I 1mag- ine the entire code set-up will hold | together awaiting further legislation | for the time being.” Roosevelt Gets Messages. While industrial and business leaders were attempting to reassure their employes that the N. R. A. standards would be maintained, movements were | started in various sections to perpetu- ate the spirit of the Blue Eagle. They included the introduction of a reso- lution in the Massachusetts Legisla- | ture calling upon President Roosevelt | to indorse a movement begun in that State two years ago by which mini- mum wages and other related matters would be established by law msw-d{ of codes. | On the other side of the continent | the Retail Druggists' Association of | Northern California telegraphed the President, asking a proclamation re- | | questing voluntary compliance with | the N.

A less definite attitude was reflected, however, in some other quarters. Ed- ward G. Seubert, president of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, said: “We are studying the effects of the Court's decision at the present time, but, there is no change contemplated immediately.” Officials of Armour & Co., Chicago packers, reported they were awaiting developments, but planned no immediate change wages or working hours. This con- cern employes 60,000 persons through- | the United States. “We have no statement to make,” | was the comment from the Interna- | tional Harvester Co., while Swift & Co. executives said they were studying the problem.” ‘W. H. Loughry, executive secretary of the food and grocery code authority, said in Los Angeles that price cuts as in Los Angeles since the Court handed in wage reductions and an increase in the hours for labor. “Business,” he said, “will have to cut its operating expense if it is going into the price-cutting war.” Textile Workers Warned. “Textile workers,” sald Thomas F. McMahon, president of the United ‘Textile Workers' of America, “must fight back any attempt to increase work hours, reduce wages or take away any of the things gained in the last 20-odd months.” He made the obser- vation in an informal statement at Providence, R.

The measure, amended to meet re- curring objections on the part of sev- era] Senators, increases the regulatory authority of the Secretary of Agricul- ture over foods and drugs and adds cosmetics. The bill would authorize the Secre- boards, to set up standardg of purity | for foods, drugs and cosmetics, to | proesecute manufacturers for mis- | leading advertising, to sweep off the Nation's store shelves any product he rules “dangerous” to public health and keep it off pending a court decision on his action. The bill includes regulatory power over advertising. Must Specify Elements. Products within the scope of the bill would be required to carry on their labels a statement of all elements con- tained, although the amount of each need not be stated. Food, under the measure, is con- sidered adulterated “if it contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it dangerous to health,” or “if any valuable con- stituent has been in whole or in part abstracted therefrom” or “if damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner.” In connection with foods, the Se- cretary would be empowered to set up certain “standards of indentity” for products, and any departure from | these standards would require a dif- ferent name. For example, if ice cream contai less than the min)- mum of cream prescribed by the Secretary, it must be branded as frozen milk” or by some distinguish- ing term. In addition, he may set up “stand- ards of quality” by which ice cream, as an instance, may be labeled stand- ard, or substandard, or above stand- | ard, depending upon the quantity of cream contained. Only when it goes below the minimum allowable stand- ard, must it be described by some other name such as “frozen milk.” Drug Standards Prescribed. Simflar standards might be pre- scribed for drugs, but a requirement is added that in event any manu- facturer’s product varies in strength from that of the standard in the United States Homeopathic Pharma- copoeia, the amount of variance must be stated. Cosmetics. in turn, must contain nothing “injurious to health” when used “under such conditions as are customary or usual.” The bill would give the Secretary | wide authority to punish for false ad- vertising. Manufacturers would be held directly responsible for statements in their advertising. a provision differ- ing from the original “Tugwell bill," which held the publishers responsible. As a safeguard against exercise by | the Secretary of arbitrary power in { making regulations, none may be is- sued without approval of boards ap- pointed by the President. |~ A committee on food standards would be provided, to consist of seven mem- bers. | Another board of five members | would be chosen by the President from ' among those of “distinguished scien- tific attainment and interest in public health with respect to food, drugs or cosmetics.” Punishment by fines ranging as high as $10.000 and three years’ imprison- ! ment are provided in the bill.
