T A—2 www RELIEF AIDES GO WITH ROOSEVELT Ickes and Hopkins Speed Works Program and Depart for West. By the Associated Press. Harry L. Hopkins and Secretary Ickes, chief aides in the Federal em- ployment drive, were speeding west- ward with President Roosevelt today after setting the stage for the final phase of the $4,000,000,000 works- relief program. In s farewell gesture, Hopkins said $1,302,500,000 had been allotted 33,- 300 Works Progress projects and that he was still confident the campaign | would reach its goal of 3,500,000 jobs | by November 1. He added that Controller General McCarl, who must approve the allot- ments before the actual cash can be | withdrawn from the Treasury, was | “co-operating fully” in speeding the | huge works-relief drive. Before the | President departed last night, McCarl | was a White House visitor and went | over details of the job entrusted to him. | Both Hopkins and Ickes, worried | by reverberations throughout the country, planned to keep their ears 1o windward on the trip so as to “size up” the extent of feeling caused by disappointments in Liundreds of com- unities over the loss of public works Pprojects. While Ickes had been com- | ‘pelled to throw overboard upwards of | '$1,000,000,000 in P. W. A. projects, he | told a press conference late yesterday that the projects omitted from the $200,000,000 program approved by the President need not be considered #bandoned completely. Hopes for More Funds. “I etill have hopes there will be| additional funds a little later on,” he | #aid, “adding that this hope was based on a possible private employment pick-up which might reduce the oumber of employables needing work rather than on any word from Mr. Roosevelt. Hopkins said, in a statement naming his assistant, Aubrey Williams, as acting W. P. A. director, that State #dministrators had submitted not only enough projects to insure “a sufficient number on which to put people to work,” but “a large extra number,” enabling a wide choice of selection. Hopkins added: “The situation with regard to the eubmittal of projects by the State works progress administrators is emi- nently satisfactory. “The project reviewers of the W. P A. in Washington are working at top speed. The procedure of approval is moving rapidly, and the projects that have come in from the States are be- ing referred rapidly for allotment. 33,300 Projects Approved. “The President already has ap- proved allotments for 33,300 projects, | idge,” but he is like Coolidge in only | which have gone through the W.

In Capital Landon Waits on Porch Swing, a Dark Horse Under Blankets. BY PAUL MALLON. OPEKA, Kans—The back- ground of the Landon Repub- lican presidential talk is the saga of a swing on the porch of a mid-Victorian house out here in a Kansas corn town. The house is like the one which was the best in every small town 25 years ago. The wooden bench attached to the porch roof with chains is also a national rural institution, and so is its quiet perspective. From it, these days, the Kansas Governor looks out over a longer lawn than city dwellers can afford into the elm shade of a street remote from na- tional political clamor, but close to the soil which feeds it. He swings and does his gubernatorial business. He swings and talks to national political leaders who are beginning to drop in. He plugs in his porch telephone and talks to men through the State, and beyond, while swinging. Friends Bring Clippings. Friends bring around clippings from the newspapers and magazines suggesting that his economy record makes him a presidential figure. He rubs his eyes with a gesture implying personal incredulity, and keeps on swinging. b e | Landon's swing is well regulated | and does not squeak. But if you cup | your ear, it seems to say definitely | that Landon is a not-very-dark horse who has his blanket on. The blanket | will not be taken off any time soon, although pressure to get him running obviously is surging right up to the rail of the porch. In other words, it suggests that the judicious Landon strategy is not to get involved in any factional party scrap jor the mnomination. But if the call should come, it will be answered. 1f the more active candidates become involved in fac- tional animosities and kill each other off, you may be sure that Landon will remove his wraps. Many sound political seers believe | the situation will work around that way. Cautious and Genial. They call Landon a “Kansas Cool- one respect. He is the kind of fellow who always would be the last to buy { a round of drinks. He looks younger ! on the national scene. He is warmer, | more friendly, less reticent in con- versation, much more emotional, more human. Also he has a good face | for political posters. In fact, he is “ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1935. WN. A BRADY, R, PERISHES IN' FIRE Son of Producer Identified as Victim of Flames De- stroying Bungalow. By the Associated Press. COLTS NECK, N. J, September 27.—The charred body of a man found in the fire-swept ruins of a Summer bungalow was believed identified to- day as that of William A. Brady, jr., 35, scion of a theatrical “first fam- ly.” ychl.rlea Tate, county detective chief, sald circumstances removed any doubt of the identity, even though the body was burned beyond recogni- tion. The three-room cottage, which burned yesterday afternoon, was owned by Miss Elsie Chisholm, asso- clated with Brady in a Summer stock company. He had obtained her per- mission to spend the night there. Gun Found in Ruins. In the ruins detectives found a scorched revolver, its chambers filled with shells which the heat had ex- ploded. Tate said the gun was not cocked and had not been fired. A bottle lay in the twisted bed springs, but it was so melted by the heat that Tate could not tell what it had contained. He said he had learned that Brady twice had been involved in fires caused by neglect of lighted cigarettes, once in a New York theater and once in an Allenhurst Summer home. Brady's mother, Grace George, can- celed her Broadway performance of “Kind Lady” last night, and his wife, Katherine Alexander, collapsed on & Hollywood film set. His step-sister, Alice Brady, also was in Hollywood. Father in Seclusion. His father, whose active career as a theatrical producer has extended from 1888 to the present, was believed in seclusion. The elder Brady, in ill health, recently returned from Maine to begin plans for a Fall production. The son, himself a producer of note, spent the Summer at the New Jersey | shore, where he and Miss Chishoim were associated in the management of | the Casino Players at Deal. Miss | Chisholm had gone to New York be- | fore the fire. He began his career in 1926 with the production of “Hangman's House.” Among his other productions were “The Command to Love,” in 1927; “A | Most Immoral Lady.” in 1928; “Little | Women,” in 1931, and “We Are No | Longer Children,” in 1932.

BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN. The Naval Air Station at Anacostia is to be increased by some 319 acres by the addition of old Bolling Field, which is to be transferred by the Army. The Naval field is only about 20 acres at present. This transfer follows President Roosevelt’s approval of joint recome mendations of Secretary of War Dern and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt to interchange Army and Navy airfields. Old Bolling Field has a total acreage of 339.4, of which the Navy has been occupying 20.4 acres. | On the property there are 61 buildings, including 11 sets of quarters. By the exchange, the Navy becomes owner of this property.

The stories told of his State economy record are substantially true. When he came into office in 1932, the tax levy was the low- est since 1916 and collections fell Short of appropriations by $1,721,- 008. He nipped costs, taking a voluntary 25 per cent cut in his own salary. He raised the tangible | property tar from 133 mills to | 1.88 and started a State income taz system. Within a year he was in a posi- tion to reduce the property tax trom | 1.88 to 1.30 mills on the lowest prop- | erty assessment since 1909. (The in- | come tax still ranges from 1 to 4 per cent above $1,500 for married | persons.) Landon also put through the Legis- lature a “cash basis” system. pre- venting municipalities from issuing future tax warrants for expenditures, except in dire emergencies. Nu- merous similar steps have been uken‘ by him, enforcing gas taxes, reduc- ing license tag fees, requiring publi- cation of budget and hearings of com- plaints. While it is true that the depression caused a far less severe relief situ- ation in his farm community than in many industrial centers the record is still unique. His State is one of | the few which does not now have | a State sales tax for relief purposes. | Farmer Is Practical. Partisan enthusiasts through this | central farm belt will wag their fin- | gers in your nose and tell you they | know the farmer is strong for the New Deal—or is dead set against it. The fact seems to be, he is neither. | If you talk with impartial farm | editors who catch the farmers in the fields, or talk with the husbandmen who are watching the prize hogs at the fairs through Kansas (not the farmers who are winning the prizes) you will receive much information to change your Eastern notions. | The thing the farmer seems to be A.A. A program is going to affect him personally, not whether the program is right or wrong. He wants to know how much he can grow on the lower 60 acres, and that sort of thing. Many farmers will not even mention the subject of politics uniess you first bring it up. 1f you do, you are likely to reach the conclusion that President Roosevelt is no longer considered a deity in the jarm belt, as he was a year ago, but that he is still well thought of. Farmers Blame Personnel. Most farmers, discussing Washing- ton personalities, will put in a bad word for the men Mr. Roosevelt has around him.

Also the farmer is thinking and discussing spending, taxes, the Fed- eral debt, the budget. Collectively he is a frugal person, necessarily so. He does not care much for spending, because he is able to do very little of it himself. That is where Landon fits in be- hind the farm picture. If he runs, measures. Woods, in discussing the effect of the curtailment program on employ- ment this year, declared that had this vear's supply of hogs been equal to that of 1933, 34,000 additional work- ers could have been employed at wages aggregating $40,000.000. Continuance Is Hit. Under present conditions, he as- serted, to attempt limitation of pro- duction and continue the processing tax “would seem indefensible from the | standpoint of good judgment, interest of the consumer, interest of the swine grower and of fidelity to the spirit and intent enacted into the agricul- tural adjustment act.” Previously in the hearing, which be- gan yesterday. farmers had asked for continuance of the program and con- sumers’ representatives had registered a plea for lower pork prices, whatever program is adopted. Woods said the Government's hog reduction program and the drought combined to bring about the scarcity of pork. “We respectfully submit,” he said, “that at this time there should be no new program of limitation and con- tinuance of the processing tax. To maintain hog values where they are now would mean to maintain a scarcity situation and to indorse the drought. The emergency is over so far as any surplus of hogs is con- cerned. “There is no surplus. There is no disparity between hog prices and prices of commodities the farmers buy except in the sense that hog prices are above the prices of such commodi- ties. In the pork-packing business there is a special emergency threat- ening the existence of many small packing businesses. The department faces a decision whether to destroy them or to permit them to continue.” The viewpoint of the consumers was presented yesterday by representa- tives of the Consumers’ Council. The cry unanimously was for lower pork prices. Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman of the Consumers’ Council of Washing- ton, representing about 150,000 con- sumers in the District, indorsed the purpose of the adjustment program, but warned against “the same mis- takes” that resulted in failure of N.R. A Mrs. Boyle presented statistics show- ing that Washington consumers during 1935 paid 3 per cent more for pork chops, 1 per cent more for sliced bacon and 1 per cent more for sliced ham than the average price paid by other consumers of the country. The average United States price for chops was 38.9 cents per pound; for sliced bacon, 46.2 cents per pound, and for sliced ham, 53.3 cents per pound. In 1932, the low point of the depres- sion, Mrs. Boyle testified, Washington housewives paid 22.9 cents for a pound of pork chops, whereas the price on September 10 of this year was 41.4 cents. Purpose Seen Defeated. “I believe the consumer thinks the farmer is entitled to a fair price for it probably will be on a promise to improve Federal administration on @ number of New Deal moves, rather than abolish them all. The farmers through here seem to like A. A. A. Administrator Chester Davis, but do not care very much for Agriculture Secretary Wallace. It is amazing but true that they know little and seem to care less about Prof. Tug- well.

He toured the district and saw spectators lined solidly at the curb, sitting on window ledges, roofs and cornices There were others on monuments and telegraph poles. They had gathered to watch the procession to the stadium They saw a white silk canopy em- broidered with gold carried out of Public Hall. Under the canopy was Patrick Cardinal Hayes, representative at the congress. Car- dinal Hayes, in vestments of gold cloth, carried the eucharist to the stadium. There were 20,000 in the procession to the stadium. In bright and somber colors, they marched to the gates on the lake front, entered at a slow pace and spread out in a human mon- | strance. Around the outline of the mon- strance was a three-foot border of flowers—50,000 blooms brought from the gardens of women in the Cleve- land Catholic diocese. The hushed audience watched as the Rosary was recited, as various litanies were said. There were prayers and hymns. the monstrance he held upon the altar.
