Of all the errors of policy or tac- tics now revealed by the fact that the national industrial recovery act has been declared unconstitutional after two years of operation. none will stand out more conspicuously than the failure of the administration to realize in advance that it was em- barked on an unconstitutional course.

A. Salvation. BY PAUL MALLON. OST people out in the country have the notion that the President is the most power- ful influence in it. The truth is exactly the opposite. A majority of Presidents have agreed that the people are the most powerful influence. No President has dared to go farther than he thought they wanted to go. | That tells the story of what has been happening on the inside lately m comnection w'th the re- formation of the New Deal. The initial steps taken by the Pres- ident were only to save the skeleton of N. R. A T were merely the preliminary necessary and obvious moves. The bigger ones he has hint- ed at were withheld because the rea tion of the country had not then fully developed. At least the advisers to the President believed it had not be- | gun to develop. The scope of further steps will be outlined when, and if. it does. High Quarters Dismayed. There was considerable dismay i\ high circles because the President’s strong background views. expressed last Friday. provoked so few telegrams and letters showing reaction. Usually his radio speeches have brought im- mediate national responses. The temper of the country can be 1udged not only by the volume of such lctters and telegrams. but by the mature of them. the tone, the 1mportance of names signed. One official hot-headedly tried to blame the press. The technique em- ployed by the President appears to have been actually responsible. He did not permit direct quotation.

Schrom re- sponded on the first alarm. which sounded at 2:08. Other alarms were at 2:25 and 2:42 So dense and pungent was the smoke and gas given off by the flaming fuel, that ordinary filter gas masks were not sufficient protection, and members of the rescue squads with oxygen masks had to be called on to carry hose lines through the building to the burning bins Meanwhile other firemen chopped through the slate roof to get at the fire. Water towers and hose mounted on tall ladders were brought intn play and poured streams of water onto the top of the large building Feared Gas Explosion, Intermittently tongues of flame ate their way through the roof, and be- cause of the treacherous nature of the blaze firemen were unable to be sure at what point the flames would show next. A number of windows along top of the building minimized the danger of coal gas explosions, al- though firemen proceeded carefully. The plant furnishes power for the navy yard's many shops and gun foundries, as well as all the current for lighting purposes. and had the fire harmed the huge boilers most activi- ties would have been brought to a standstill. The power plant consists of two connected brick huildings. one housing the generators and the other the boilers. It was in this latter structure, which is surmounted by four monster smokestacks, that the coal bins are located. They lie just under the roof along either side of a con- veyer which dumps the fuel into them. The coal feeds automatically into the 10 monster furnaces. But three boilers were in operation last night, attended by a small crew 500 Tons in Bins. Capt. S. C. Rowan, captain of the yard. said six weeks' supply of coal usually is kept on hand. Since ap- proximately 250 tons are burned daily, | this amounts to some 10.500 tons. The fire was discovered by one of the shift on duty in the plant. Capt. Rowan was notified and called the District Fire Department. When the city firemen arrived the navy yard | fire force had hose lines up and was | ready to go into action. the | used in fighting the blaze, even the fireboat being called into service to pump from the river.

I turned down two other base ball jobs today—one from the House of David team, the other from a pro- fessional team in Dayton.

Too. he was something of a star of the prison’s theatricals and curator of the zoo. Warden Lawes re- ported him a model prisoner and one of the most popular men there, both with inmates and empleyes.

He committed a foolish crime and thereby contracted a debt to society, but he has repaid that debt with interest. He has been a model vrisoner, and, as a result of my asso- ciation with him. I would have no hesitation whatever to post a bond as security for his good behavior as a citizen. As a mainstay on the foot ball team while at Sing Sing. Pitts won the admiration of such men as Lou Little, coach of the Columbia University foot ball team: Harry and Vic Kennard gridiron stars: Judge Ji of the Common Pleas Court of Pi burgh, and Jack Clinton, vice presi- dent of the Fisk Tire Co., the latter two having officiated at games here. As a track man and base ball player, Pitts also showed unusual ability There is no doubt, however, that Pitts excelled in the field of base ball He has consistently batted over .500 and shows promise of developing into an outstanding player in that sport. It would be colossally “njust to break up a career for a man who manifested such ability and possessed such de- termination to make good. If Pitts is to be released from prison with the feeling that he always must wear the striped suit because of one mistake in his life, how can he feel but embittered against society?
