VB—ZQ CONSTITUTION DAY PLANS COMPLETE 1935 Version of Signing of Basic Law to Be Part of Tuesday Events. Request of Nudists ToMarch in Parade Tuesday Is Refused Nudists may be patriotic but they can’t prove it by marching in the Constitution day parade here on Tuesday night. Richard S. Ham, vice chairman of the Parade Committee, yes- terday received a request from the Natural Life Club of New York, asking permission for a patriotic nudist group to enter the Constitution avenue mara- thon that evening. Mr. Ham turned down the request, ex- plaining the naked truth to be that sufficient spectator space would not be available for such an attraction. S In a background of firewcrks, music. dancing. speech-making and ceremony that would have astounded the dele- | gates to the original Constitutional Convention, the 1935 version of that historic event will be re-enacted on | the north Monument grounds on Tues- | day night. The affair will mark the | 148th anniversary of the signing of | the Constitution, the many-times | amended document under which this Nation has so long endured. Latest development in plans for the | local celebration is contained in the | announcement that ‘“complete am- | plification coverage” of the parade, | pageant and fireworks will be assured. # Under the direction of Maj. Gen. Amos # A. Pries, U. S. A.. retired, master of ceremonies, a staff of announcers will . broadcast each detail of the program. ! For the feature of the program ; namely. the convention re-enactment, the committee in charge has drawn . upon the Federal Power Commission for its talent and the following officials of that organization will fill the Colonial roles: A. F. McWhorter, R. E Ehowalter. Marshall Jones, Paul Walter, J. B. Parrot, J. P. Schaenzer, E. F. Mays, G. E. Cohn, Arthur S.!| Wellwood, A. H. Grimsley and T. R. Tate. Bands Will Play. The parade which will precede the eeremdny on the Monument Grounds will assemble at Constitution avenus | and Four-and-a-Half street and move | west on the Avenue to Fifteenth street, | thence south to the North Monument | Grounds to the reviewing point. The | United States Army and Navy Bands | will furnish music at the reviewing stand and Mrs. Flora McGill Keefer, concert contralto, will lead tne entire essembly in singing “The Star Epangled Banner” at the close of the program. The parade is due to start at 7:30 o'clock with the program at the grounds starting soon after 8:30, with invocation by Col. Alva J. Brasted. chief of chaplains, U. S.

D.C.Resident,Failing to Cet J (51), Plans to Run for U. S. Senate! Hlinois Voter Blames| Lewis for Lack of Political Office. People Held “Tired of Him”—Secretary Re- veals Letters. Norris Ivan Perry, who lives at 235 Emerson street, but votes in Illinois, after two years spent in a futile effort to obtain a Government job through Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, has de- | cided to seek Lewis’ own place in the Senate. The one-time valve salesman, un- employed since 1930, as a candidate of the Progressive-Independent party, organized recently in Springfield, 1., announces in a typewritten statement: “If the people of Illinois wish an honest, courageous and fearless serve ice through me, and I am elected to the United States senatorship. upon my honor I agree to uphold all that is within me in service to the people of my State. It is my earnest desire to follow their purposes and well- founded desires.” Grandmother Aided Lincoln. Perry, who boasts his Grandmother Perry, a tailoress, fashioned the first tailor-made suit ever worn by Abra- ham Lincoln, amplified this statement at his home by saying: “Ham Lewis never did anything for me, so I don't see why I should do anything more for him. The people of Illinois are tired of him. He's getting old. “Besides, I've been trying for two | years to get a job through him, and NORRIS IVAN PERRY. —Hessler-Henderson Photo. correspondence with N.

If y an conduct a clean campaign the people will think more of you.” Perry does not expect to take the stump for come time. The Illinois primary is in April, and he expects to win hands down the Progressive- Independent nomination. “I am going to Springfield next month,” he said, “but I'll be right back.

Determination of wage scales pre- mechanics and laborers other than those engaged in building construc- tion, must be made by the Commis- sioners before the end of this month, officials revealed yesterday. This is a requirement under the amendment to the Bacon-Davis pre- vailing wage law adopted at the last session of Congress and signed by the President August 30. It takes effect 30 days after enactment. Building Work Covered. ‘The original law dealt only with building construction by the District and Federal Governments. The amend- ment applies the protection for work- ers, also to “other public works.” Engineer Commisioner Dan I. Sul- tan has asked Corporation Counsel E.

He is ex- works” will include highway and sewer contracts “Prevailing Scales.” Contractors are to be held strictly to payment of “prevailing scales,” which will be pre-determined for the new classes of application. The amendment was an outgrowth of the congressional investigation of the various “kick-back” methods used by some contractors to evade terms of the original law. The minimum size of contracts af- fected by the law was reduced from $5,000 to $2,000. 13 BALLOONS READY ! American Entry, U. S.

ONE DEAD, 3 SHOT INFAGTORY RIOT Pickets and Workers Stage Pitched Battle at Geor- gia Stove Plant, By the Associated Press. ROME, Ga., September 14.—Guns blazed in a pitched battle between pickets and a group of workers at the Rome Stove & Range Co. today and one worker was fatally shot and three others suffered gunshot wounds. Two men were taken into custody on charges of violating a Superior Court anti-picketing order and five others were arrested later on charges of shooting at another. All were re- leased on bonds. The victim of the gun battle was Fred Reid, 30, who came here from Cleveland, Tenn,, to work in the plant. Police said picketers resented im- portation of workers to fill jobs va- cated by more than 50 men who were enjoined from picketing or from en- | gaging in a group walk-out. The men | quit and some of them have been picketing. No eall for National Guardsmen was made today, since the situation quieted down after the shooting. Gov. Eugene Talmadge sent 500 National Guardsmen here last Fall to preserve peace during a strike at several stove foundries. The wounded men were listed as George Tallent, Lucius Plank and Herman Ingram. Police Sergt. Frank Russell said Ingram was a picket; the others ‘workers. e |15 OF GREEK SHIP'S CREW ARE ARRESTED Baltimore Police Act at Request of Legation Counselor—Labor Ttouble Blamed.
