COLONY'S MORALE REACHES NEW LOW Poll Shows Only 15 Per Cent in Matanuska Would Return, However. BY ARVILLE SCHALEBEN. PALMER, Alaska, June 28 (N.A. N.A).—In plain Anglo-Saxon language ‘Matanuska ploneering finds itself in a mess. The morale in all divisions of col- onization is at a low point. Colonists who want to stay are yammering for the corporation to get those who want to go, out of here. Those who want to go -are in confusion about how much of their expenses will be paid. _A reporter put this question to 40 heads of families: “Will you go if your way is paid?” Some who before had told the reporter that they wanted to go home said “No.” Many colonists in the group that wants to stay, come what may, estimate that 50 per cent of the familles would leave. My cur- sory poll shows that this is too high. Fifteen per cent might be closer. Die-Hard States View. “Don’t count on me going back.” sald Frank Ring of Pembine, Wis. “I came here to stay. This is my coun- try. I've got nothing against Wiscon- sin, but there's nothing back there for me. There I walked the roads at night worrying about an $800 debt. I sold my cows and my horses and | everything and I went away owing no | man a cent. Some of my friends back home will hear some terrible things} about this project, but the way I see | this it's an opportunity for any one | not afraid to tie in and do a bit.” “Me go home? Not by a damn sight,” said Tony Vickaryous of War- road, Minn. “I've got a resident's farm away from my own tract, and I've got some crops planted and I'll have something to sell this Fall. Be- sides, you see those mountains? I've got some exploring to do, and I'm going to find out about some of those bears everybody is talking about.” Some Dread Boat Trip. “We don't want to go back.” sald Mrs. I M. Sandvik. “I've talked to & lot of people and they don't want to go back, either. We just want to see things get under way.” Actually, some families are held there only by a dread of seasickness on the return voyage. “Would you go back?” Howard Mc- Kendry of Winter, Wis, was asked. “No, sir,” he replied. “Would you g back if there was a railroad instead of a boat?” “Yes, sirree,” he replied emphatically. Other families changed their minds about going following a lottery for cows. With the animals at last in their possession, they felt that they were getting something solid to show for their trip here, and their personal outlook took on a brighter hue. Meanwhile new arrangements have been made for getting cabin logs squared and put into homes. Colon- ists’ crews werc taken off portable mills and will be replaced by con- struction division men under Frank U. Bliss. Work Far Behind. Under this agreement colonists are expected to work at cutting logs on their tracts, clearing home sites and doing anything for themselves that they can. Just what has been done to date? ‘The answer reveals aow far behind the project is. Two wells have been cug on hcme sites and. exclusive of sites now occupied by tent camps, five cabins are under construction. About 60 of 200 home sites have been se- lected. About 20 of these have been cleared. The community center site has been surveyed and mostly cleared, but nary a building is under construc- tion. Excluding home sites and the community center site, not more than 50 acres out of an anticipated 2,400 have been cleared. No shelters for live stock have been started. This information is ot official and it must be gathered mostly by per- sonal investigation, supplemented by a few facts from officials. If one had to depend on officials’ reports for in- formation he'd know less about the project than a South Sea islander. (Copyright. 1935. by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) MAN FOUND DEAD BYW.,, B. & A. TRACKS Believed Victim of Train—Magis- trate Undecided on Hold- ing Inquest. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 29.— ‘The body of an unidentified man, be- Heved killed by a Washington, Balti- more & Annapolis electric train, was found beside the tracks at Huntsville last night. A notebook in & coat pocket con- - tained the name Frank Anderson and an address in the 1300 block of K street southeast, Washington, but po- lice said no one by that name was known there. County Policemen Claude Reese and | Arthur Brown reported the man was neatly dressed. The body was re- moved to Gasch's undertaking estab- lishment here. An electric train crew noticed the body beside the tracks and reported it when they reached Baltimore. Mag- istrate Herbert J. Moffat was unde- cided about an inquest. BLAZE NEARLY ENDS KEY ENDURANCE TR Fire Around Battery Is Put Out Without Damage as Flyers b Push On. By the Assoctated Press. MERIDIAN, Miss., June 29.—A fire aboard the Old Miss record-holding airplane today almost abruptly ended the flight of Fred and Al Keys as they continued in the air almost two days pest the new endurance flight record stage. The blaze, about the battery, was extinguished without consequence. At 4::32 am, Certral standard time, they had been aloft 592 hours, or more than 38 hours past the for- mer world mark of 553 hours, 41 minutes and 30 seconds set by John und Kenneth Hunter in 1930 at Chicago. , Their spirits buoyed after success- fully flying through driving downpours of rain last night as their families watched below, the brothers reiterated their intention of remaining up until Monday, when they would equal the unofficial record set in 1930 by Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine | ZZ= p 5 R What’s Wh hat’s at . Behind News . In Capital Roosevelt’s Health Belies Rumors—Congress Gets Blamed for Mix-Up. BY PAUL MALLON. FRESH crop of rumors has A sprung up about President | Roosevelt's health. These sug- | tions peep out every time the political technicians here note what they conceive to be a mistake by the White House. The President’s press conference suggestion about a con- stitutional amendment started them | several weeks ago. What revived them is the slip-up on strategy of handling the new tax legislation. The testimony of presidential phy- sicians is almost worthless. They nearly always swear their patient is in fine fettle. But any observing per- son who has called on President Roosevelt during the last few days will testify that he looks well. He seems to be in relatively better phys- 115 5 e & ical condition than most Congressmen who have shared the last six harrow- ing months of conflict and bicker- ing. Callers have noted that he is less patient, more irritable, quicker, less cautious. But that may also be said of nearly every one else in Washing- ton now that the Midsummer heat has set in. Has Taken Less Rest. It is true the President has taken less rest this year. An early Spring cruise and a few trips to Hyde Park furnished his only substantial relax- ation. Nothing has been or can be planned for the Summer. He wants to go to the San Diego «exposition by train and return through the Panama Canal, but cannot be away for any- thing like the Hawaiian crulse of last Summer. There is too much work. The mix-up on tax strategy is now being advertised as a misunderstand- ing of orders on the part of Mr. | Roosevelt's congressional leaders. This explanation has caused speculation about what happened to Mr. Roose- | velt's official liaison agent (Charles 0. West), who is supposed to do noth- ing except keep Mr. Roosevelt’s con- innermost thoughts. The answer is that Mr. West was just where he should have been. He was right on the job, telling the Congressmen daily what the Presi- dent wanted. What seems to have happened is that he did not want the same thing each day. President Roosevelt is digging up quietly a pile of data to prove his N. R. A. contentions. One curio which his archeologists have un- | earthed is a report of the industrial commission appointed by President McKinley. It reported to Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, recommending sev- eral steps along New Deal lines. One thing it urged was a graduatec scale tax on corporations, which is now contained in the wealth tax pro- gram. The advisability of Federal incorporation laws was also men- tioned, and the commission referred sharply to competition among States to offer special privileges to corpora- tions. The argument sounds exactly like the one Mr. Roosevelt made at his constitutional press conference. ‘The report even deplored the prac- tice of large stores offering a particu- lar article at prices below cost in order to attract customers, the “loss leader” practice which the N. R. A. tried to stop. You will hear more about this in coming New Deal speeches. Board Scans N. R. A. Reports. President Roosevelt was reading the papers at Hyde Park one morning on his recent trip. On page 1 he saw headlines: “Industry Keeps Codes.” On inside pages he noted specific items about wage cuts and hour changes. This led him to decide on an impartial committee to check all such reports. He wrote Chairman O'Neill of N. R. A. to select men who would be independent of N. R. A. and yet above suspicion. The result was the appointment of the strangest of all New Deal boards, the Review Board, At the head of it is Gen. Fries, a scourger of Reds, author of “The Spider Web Chart” which listed many liberals as subversive several years ago, former head of the Chemical Warfare Service. As counterirritants to Gen. Fries, two liberals were named (Father Haas | of the Labor Advisory Board and Isador Lubin, commissioner of labor | statistics). As counter-counterirri- tants, two moderates were chosen (Assistant Commerce Secretary Dick- inson and N. R. A.-er John Upp). If the New Deal really wants to balance the budget it could scll ring- side seats for the meetings of this board and be assured of a larger audience than attended the Carnera- Louis fight. McCarl Keeps Check. ‘You cannot put anything over on Controller General McCarl. A motion picture show which is operated for T. V. A. workers at Norris Dam was stopped the other night when Government auditors descended on it. They said they were from McCarl's office. They sent checkers through the audience while they went through the cash register. Just as they suspected, they found there were four more persons in the audience than dimes in the cash register. This will undoubtedly prove & graft feature in the current audit- ing feud between McCarl and T. V. A. The official T. V. A. explanation is that the four free admissions were given to ushers in return for services rendered, but McCarl does not know that yet. (Copyright. 1935.) Shorn Sheep Die in Cold.

Ferris, who has a police out of his hotel Thursday morning, body was found. MIDWEST COMBED INDICKINSON HUNT Man of Half-Dozen Aliases Connected With Killing by Taxi Driver. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, June 29.—William Lee Ferris, 26, known to police under half | a dozen aliases, was hunted through- out the Middle West today as the central figure in the death cf Howard Carter Dickinson, 52-year-old New | York attorney, shot to death and dumped from an automobile in a park driveway last Thursday. Ferris' name was injected into the case by Andrew J. Smygen, a taxi driver, who said Ferris told him he might need a cab for a meeting with a “New York lawyer named Dickinson who had a lot of money.” The Ferris trail was 24 hours old| before detectives picked it up. Although an avalanche of tips and clues poured into detective headquarters all night, | Chief of Detectives Fred W. Frahm | reported that he apparently had | dropped completely out of sight. Two Girls Sought. Also missing from their usual haunts, | police said, were two girl acquaintances of Ferris, one of them described as red-headed and freckled and attired in a linen suit. Detectives said they | knew only their first names, “Bobbie” and “Florence.” Frahm and his corps of detectives maintained a tight-lipped silence on theories to account for the strange circumstances of the death of the New | York attorney and nephew of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes. But | developments of the last 24 hours tended to show the Harvard-trained lawyer may have kept an appointment | with Ferris, known to have an easy way of making hotei acquaintances. Ferris, once tried and acquitted on a murder charge, was reported by Chief Frahm to have & record of six | arrests, but the record showed no con- | victions. Councilman Identifies Body. Dickinson was last seen alive in | Haymarket Barbecue, operated by Carl C. Ogleshee, a Dearborn council- | man. Oglesbee identified Dickinson's body as that of the man who came | into his place about 1 a.m. Thursday with two other men and ordered “a half a shot of the best liquor in the house.” The Oglesbee Barbecue is only a | short distance from the territory where Dickinson's body was found, and where his coat, vest and hat were later picked up. The identity of his two companions at the time is still a mystery. Oglesbee did not identify a picture of Ferris as being one of Dickinson's companions. Mrs. Elizabeth Carmichael Wither- spoon, one of the background figures in the strange murder, told reporters here that for all of her experience in stage dramatics, she was upset by the bizarre mystery surrounding the crime. The former actress in Detroit and Chicago stock companies, whose pro- jected claim for a daughter’s share of the estate of the late William Yawkey, wealthy lumber dealer and sportsman, brought Dickinson to Detroit, was interviewed washing dishes in the home of a friend, James J. Holland. “When I heard of Mr. Dickinson's murder,” she said, “I felt awful, al- though I didn’t know him. My brother (Arthur Carmichael), who is handling my case, met him a lot of times and told me what a nice gen- telman he was. I felt so upset, I left my hotel and came here for a few days.” Mrs. Witherspoon was adopted by a family of Carmichaels as a baby, and she said she did not learn of her relation to William Yawkey until his death. “I always called Mr. and Mrs. Yawkey Uncle Billy and Aunt Mar- garet, not knowing the truth,” she said. The Yawkey estate was once estl- mated to be worth $40,000,000. He held extensive timber interests in Canada, and once had a part interest in the Detroit Base Ball Club. Milton Hoffman and Max Bern- stein, with whom Ferris worked sev- eral years ago for a milk company, were questioned today, but were re- leased when they convinced detectives they could not help the investigation. “He liked to talk big and impress people with his importance,” Hoffman was quoted as saying, “but he wasn't so much. He would work until he collected a few pay checks and then he’d go off on a trip somewhere and usually end in a jam. But it wouldn't be much of a jam, and he'd try to get out by using the name of some friend instead of his own. He got nearly all of the men he knows in trouble at one time or another be- cause of this.” * | frozen to death and crops destroyed | House. in an unusual return of Winter in the Atlas Mountains of Figure in Dickinson Case BRI Andrew Smygen (right), Detroit taxi driver, who gave police informa- arch for Willlam Lee Ferris (left), with the slaying of Howard Carter record, was last seen as he checked only a few hours after Dickinson's —A.

TOKIO, June 29.—The worst rain- storms and floods in half a century deluged the populous and thriving Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe Districts to- day, the second time in less than 10 months that the industrial heart of the Japanese empire has been para- Iyzed by a natural calamity. Sixty-two persons thus far were known definitely to have perished, but many were still missing and scores were injured. Thousands were driven from their homes and a fragmentary survey of the affected area indicated that at least 150,000 houses and buildings were inundated. Damage was esti- mated at more than 10,000,000 yen (about $2.900,000). Flood Hits Typhoon Area. The floods also swept over North- ern Kyushu and Shikoku Prefects and Western Hondo, the same regions scourged by & disastrous typhoon September 22, 1834 Crews of 60 fishing boats were missing off Keishohokudo, Province of Korea. Rescue vessels set out to search for them. Floods also swept Southeastern Korea following torrential rains Fri- day. éommunlcnflons were disrupted and railways were washed away in many sections. Serious damage to crops was feared. The Prefectures of Fukuoka, Naga- saki and Yamaguchi bore the brunt of the floods, where damage was in- creased by heavy winds. KEyoto Suffers Worst. Kyoto, lying in a valley encircled by mountains, suffered the worst. | Rivers, a picturesque feature of the ancient capital of Japan, surged over their banks and became torrents of destruction.

Army engineers were called out both in Kioto and Osaka to attempt to curb the ravages of the flood and other troops were assigned to rescue and police duties. Early reports indicated the movie | center in Kioto, Japan's “Hollywood,” suffered heavily. The steel center in North Kyushu, a leading factor in the empire’s booming munitions in- dustry, also suffered heavily. Iron Works Closed Down. The great Yawata Iron Works was compelled to close down, with an esti- mated loss of half a million yen for each idle day. Water mains burst at Kobe and & drinking water shortage was threat- ened. All schools in the stricken area were closed. Late today traffic was restored on the Tokaido Railway, the empire’s main trunk line, linking Osaka and Tokio, but suburban traffic in Kloto, Osaka and Kobe was still disrupted. Telegraph and telephone lines were down over wide areas. The storm was reported moving northward from Osaka, but it was believed Tokio would escape it. No Americans were believed to have been involved in the disaster. “CHAIN TELEGRAM” SUIT GOES TO FEDERAL COURT Case Brought by “Common In- former” Under State Law In- volves $3,600,000 Claim.

CONGRESSIONAL COUNTRY CLUB, Md, June 29.—Ed White of Texas finished the first nine holes 2 up' on Freddie Haas of Louisiana BState today in their final match here for the national intercollegiate golf championship. White again was in fine form, play- ing the opening nine in 36, one under par. Haas scored 38, one over perfect figures. Haas missed two short putts, three-putting the fourth hole and blowing & 4-footer on the eighth for & half, while White missed a 4-footer for a birdie 4 to open the match on the first hole. They halved the ninth in buzzard 4s after both found a trap. ‘The cards, out: .. 543 454 453—37 543 444 444—36 .. 543 544 45438 Another perfect goifing day greeted the finalists as they stepped uvut to the first tee at 10 am to begin their long struggle for the championship.

White has three times won the Southwestern Lonfer- ence college crown. A posible indication of the way to- day’s match may terminate came yes- terday as White burned up the Con- gressional course, playing 33 holes against Yates in 1 under par. Haas, aided by errors from Fischer's clubs, was 4 over par for the same distance. Fairbanks Sails Homeward.

Violations of the frontier, in which | infantry, cavalry and gunboats al- | legedly participatel, were “with clear- | Iy provovative aims and despite a pro- over a similar incident,” said Tass, the official news agency. Gunboats Enter Territory. A dispatch from Blagoveschensk, on the Amur River, said the latest incursion took place Thursday, when | two Jepanese-Manchukuan gunboats, the Sungteng and the Yangming, en- tered a branch of the river in Soviet territory despite signals from Soviet | frontier cutters to keep out. When the gunboats passed the cut- ters, their crews were training guns | on the Soviet vessels, the dispatches | sald, and also took photographs of them. The Soviet vessels, the dis- patches added, wishing to avoid a clash, allowed the trespassers to pro- ceed. Other invasions took place near Khabarovsk June 23 and 26. It said 40 infantrymen participated ia the first incident and the same detach- ment was joined by 60 cavalrymen to carry out the second. Hill and Valley Occupied. In each instance the troops, dis- patches asserted, advanced several hundred meters into Soviet territory and occupied a hill and valley, where they remained for hours making ob- servations. The dispatches said both invasions were witnessed by Soviet guards who had orders to avoid a conflict and hence did not open fire.

LONG TASK AHEAD, CONGRESSTOILSON Half-Year Mark of Session Reached, but Two Months’ Work Remains. By the Assoclated Press. In a turbulent six-month session vastly different-fiom tbat which snap- ped through eariy New Deal jegisla- tion, Congress nas ground out four major administration measures and blocked a great many proposals opposed by the President. As the half-year mark in the legis- lative seige was reached today. the lawmakers had yet to finish work on such explosive Ruosevelt measures as the utility holding company bili the omnibus bank bill to give the Federal Reserve Board power to control cur- rency and credit, snd amendments to bolster the A. A. A. against court attack. The social security bill, wi President has incicated he reg the most important of all the lation pending iu Congress, has pa: both houses and seems destined become law within a short time Two More Months Seen. But even as the long-cdispured sc curity program moved clear of ti congressional jam, Mr Roosevel: recommendatiors for new and i taxes on the wea'thy and for segisla- tion to plug loopholes left by the Su- preme Court's gold decision, led lead- ers to predict that two more months would be required to enact the admin- istration program. Among the New Deal measures al- ready completed during the session, these stood out: 1. The $4,880,000,000 appropriation. 2. Extension of a skeletonized N. R. A the as work-relief 3. Extension of the Federal gaso- | line tax and other “nuisance” levies estimated to raise $500,000,000 a year, 4.

She had been stabbed with a thin-bladed knife which penetrated through her body to the backbone, and Coroner M. E. Atkinson said she also had been perversely attacked. | County police said Helen apparently had been murdered shortly after she | disappeared from the Greenville street corner where she was last seen and her body carried by automobile to the lonely spot where it was found.

I AMERIGANS PRESS FOR STABILIZATION Resolution Calling for Peg- ging of Currency Presented | World Congress. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 20.—A resolution call- ing for stabilization of international | currencies was presented today to | 1,200 delegates at the closing session of the International Chamber of Com- | merce Congress. It was one of a score of resolutions to be acted on. The measure emerged | from committee with but few changes from the text presented by the Amer- ican delegation, despite a clash wnh‘ British members. Instability of exchanges is blamed | in the resolution for the breakdown of | international trade. It said a lack| of stabilized currencies must lead to | establishment of “compensatory” tariff embargoes, gold cessation, long- | term foreign investments and hoard- | ing. | It warned against postponement of stabilization until the price level is | raised, saying stabilized exchanges | wouid bring a general recovery of prices. The measure concludes with the statement: “Permanent monetary stabilization can in practice be ob- tained only by re-establishment of | the international gold standard.” Other important resolutions {n- cluded one asking nations not to dis- criminate against forelgn business establishments and another urging international adoption of the League of Nation's Fisca!
