FIGURES REVEAL BUSINESS GAIS {Tourist and -Retail Trade Increases Reported by Federal Bureau. By the Associated Press. ‘Tourist business gains in many cities and “continued evidences” of re- tail trade increases were reported by the Commerce Department yesterday Jor the week ended July 10. The survey of 32 cities showed that although there was ‘“some let-down immediately following the July 4 holi. day,” retail trade “in its entirety indi- cated favorable aspects, and compari- sons with the same week last year were uniformly bettered.” Gains in All Travel. “An interesting feature,” the de- partment said, “in the regorts from a number of important cities was to the effect that the current season is wit- nessing an unusual gain in all types of travel activities. “In some places, reports were to the effect that the tourist business had reached proportions comparable to those of 1929-1930. These conditions, for example, were reported in New York as prevailing with eastbound transatlantic vacation crossings. Rail- roads, according to the New York re- port, are finding this one of the best seasons for tourist traffic in a number of years. “Local agencies in Chicago reported an increase of 80 per cent in steam- ship bookings in that area over last year, with the European tours showing a 70 per cent increase. Backward weather, however, accounted for a 40 to 50 per cent increase in Great Lakes travel. * * * Large Gains on Coast. “All transportation lines in South- ern California reported large increases with travel bureaus in Los Angeles showing the best business since 1920] el 9 8 “From Seattle it was reported that the influx of tourists had increased from 10 to 43 per cent. The Alaska Steamship Co. was said to be enjoying the greatest passenger business in its history. “Travel volume in San Francisco was reported generally above the first six months of 1934 with an increase of 12 per cent in steamship passengers, 21 per cent in railroads, and 27 per cent in inbound, non-resideat motorists. “Reports of a somewhat similar nature were received from Boston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Denver, Cleveland and Buffalo.” 3,000 ARE EXPECTED AT BAR CONVENTION Report of Committee Analyzing Hauptmann Trial to Be Presented. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, July 13.—Topics | ranging from ethics of criminal law to the Federal taxation will be considered at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association opening here Monday. Approximately 3,000 lawyers from Maine to California are expected to attend. As a climax in the criminal trial procedure investigation, a report of a committee analyzing certain aspects of the Bruno Hauptmann trial will be presented. The criminal law section will con- sider criminal reforms inaugurated since January 1 in 40 States. Speak- ers will include Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law School and Justin Miller, chairman of the United States Attorney General's Committee on Crime. The convention, to be in session five days, will also consider social secur- ity and taxation, with Arthur H. Kent, Treasury Department counsel, taking an active part. Other subjects to be considered at the gathering will be in- surance, trade mark and patent laws, mineral legislation, public utilities, and there will be an open meeting on the “unauthorized practice of the law.” The annual banquet of the associa- tion will be held Thursday evening. Earle W. Evans of Wichita, Kans., is president of the association. Coal Mining Increases. Coal mining in Brazl is increasing rapidly. System of Fees For Lawyers Is Plan of Roberts People’s Counsel to Pre- sent Program to Junior Bar Conference. Development of a “more business- like system” for charging for the| services of lawyers and a plan under which the public could be advised of the cost of legal services is advocated by People’s Counsel William A. Roberts in a program to be presented to the Junior Bar Conference this week at Los Angeles. Roberts, who is secretary of the Junior bar unit of the American Bar Association, has prepared the follow- ing argument for his plan, to be sub- mitted Tuesday: “For some unaccountable reason there has developed among lawyers a delicacy with respect to their finan- cial condition and with. respect to the ‘income which they derive from their professional services, which ap- proaches the ludicrous in its lack of logic. “The best known doctor in town will not hesitate to let it be known that he charges $3 or $5 for an office call and some other definite sum for & home consultation. He does not feel that he loses professional dignity by having a more or less fixed stand- ard for payment. “Yet the lawyer treats his scale of charges as a professional secret and frequently negotiates with a client without regard to the amount of time which may be required by the specific matter.” Other points in Roberts’ proposed program for the conference called for a campaign to acquaint the public with the program of the American bar, creation of committees to cam- paign for creation of permanent legislative drafting and research bu- yeaus by the legislatures and creation of a Bar Association Committee to devise a superior procedure for in- vestigation of cases of nonfeasance and malfeasance on the part of lawyers. Carol Likes Being King PREFERS SNUG LITTLE HOUSE TO PALACE. KING CAROL IL BY GLADYS BAKER. UCHAREST (N.A N.A.).—Carol II, royal playboy of Europe, has settled down to the se- rious business of being a king. ‘The handsome heir w0 the Rumanian branch of the house of Hohenzollern, who was recalled five years ago to| the throne he renounced for the care-+| free life of a commoner, employs his | time and energies now in ruling one of the wealthiest and most politically strategic countries of Eastern Europe. Seated behind the business-like desk of his private study in the royal pal- ace at Bucharest, he said: “Unlike most kings, I like my job. T wouldn’t exchange it for any other. There is not much chance for re- laxation. Whenever I do take an occasional holiday, I arive my car straight out to my little house in the Carpathian Mountains. I detest cities. My chief diversion is shooting, which keeps me physically fit. I do not care for drinking or dancing. But I enjoy books and music. My work, however, yields me the greatest satis- faction. It is good to be useful.” Wanderlust Curbed. The old wanderlust torments him no longer. During the half decade of his sovereignty the dJebonaire young ruler, who played in all the gay capi- tals of Europe, has not once traveled beyond the boundaries of Rumania. “Sometimes,” he confessed, “I get restless to move about a bit. But that is not important. I have learned, you see, to be patient.” Though he will be 43 in October, the King looks as young and fit as a college athlete. A shock of blond hair falls boyishly over his forehead. The eyes are an extraordinary blue, an intense, concentrated color. He is tall, strongly built. He was wear- ing the white duck uniform of the commander in chief of the Rumanian armies. “I do not like palaces,” he said. “I prefer a snug little house of my own where, when my work is over, I can | putter around like a schoolboy.” Lives in Small Dwelling. Despite his large annual income (said to be more than $500,000) the Rumanian monarch lives in the two- story dwelling he built for himself at the rear of the ostentatious palace. Here he and his son, the Crown Prince Michael, maintain bachelor apartments. The decorations and furnishings are of the King's per- sonal selection. “I like to have my own things around me,” he said. “They must be simple, but beautiful.” His majesty keeps to a rigid sched- ule. His philosophy nowadays hinges on one tenet, work—for himself, his governmental advisers and his people. He rises 4t 7, shaves himself during his bath by means of a special ap- paratus attached to his bath tub. He breakfasts alone with Michael. His morning is spent conferring with his ministers on affairs of state, in which he takes an active interest. After a simple two-course luncheon he re- turns to the palace for an afternoon of special audiences. Except when state functions interfere, he lunches and dines with his son and a few of the prince’s young companions. A stroll in the palace gardens, then he retires. Unlike most kings, this ruler makes no attempt to evade political queries. “What does your majesty think of dictatorship as a form of govern- ment?” he was asked. “I certainly do not think that as a direct form of government it is good. I consider dictatorship an accident, at best an emergency measure.” War Held Inevitable. Asked if he thought war was im- minent, he said: : “I do not see any real crisis for some years to come. A great war breaks suddenly, not when there is a great deal of talk about it. While I do not think any individual or nation wants war, I believe it is in- evitable. It is a natural part of life.” In spite of a pledge to the contrary, ‘Mme. Magda Lupescu, for whom Carol once renounced wife, child and throne, has returned to Bucharest. Although she continues to exert a strong in- fluence over the life of Carol, never has a romance been conducted with such dignity and discretion. She lives in seclusion in her white granite palace on the Alea Zoe. Two months are spent in her own villa at Sinala, where the King also has a Summer resi-| COLUMBIA RD.af IB4ST, Air Conditioned Special Sunday Dinner 12 Noon to 8:15 P.M.

Magda Lupescu is only 35, but the tumultuous years are taking their toll. ‘The famous auburn hair is less nat- vrally so. The milky white skin is lieginning to line. The slim figure has grown decidedly mature. But Carol remains faithful. Companionship Wanted First. Asked what qualities he admired most in women, King Carol said: “A woman must first of all be a good companion. Only then can she be of real help in a man’s bfe. It is di- rult to say what particular graces charm me most. Qualities which are becoming in one woman might be de- testable in another.” Speaking of American women, he said: “I do not recall any special national characteristics, but I think in cultural tastes they are superior to American men.” “Do you approve of the feminist movement?” “I am neither for 1t nor against it. But I certainly approve of careers for women, and I know many who are | carrying on their professions more capably than men. For a man or woman,” he continued, “the most im- portant thing in life s work. It is | essential to have one, perhaps two, aims and to move steadily toward their accomplishment." Patience he sets above all human | virtues. “The formula for patience,” ;e said, “is patience!” The rain beat against the leaded windows, a high wind bent the grace- ful poplars in the paiace gardens, a moment of meditative siience. “Are you happy?” he was asked. Quizzically he lifted the dazzling blue eyes with their curious Hohen- zollern lids, completely hidden when | the eyes are open. “Is any one?” he shrugged. “But { I have the disposition toward happi- ness. I am by nature an optimist— & positive optimist. Why should I be pessimistic over speculative events of | the future?” (Copyright. 1935. by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.)
