B4 = THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. GUFFEY CONFDENT ON CONSTITUTION Declares New Deal Foes Will Drop issve Before 1936 Campaign. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, October 26.—Sena- tor Joseph F. Guffey, author of the *“little N. R. A.” for the giant coal in- dustry, predicted today that consti- tutionality questions will be “forgot- ten” before next year's presidential campaigns. Viewing with very litile alarm at- tacks on New Deal legislation by Re- publican leaders and others, Penn- sylvania’s Democratic Senator said: “Nobody knows what the campaign issues will be, but we can lick them on constitutionality. They'll be ready to drop it.” Guffey’s own coal stabilization law, which set up the National Coal Com- mission, is threatened with attack in the courts and some big operators have balked at signing the coal code. The Senator took another peek into the future by predicting the next ses- | sion of Congress will spend its time on [ appropriation bills and little else. | He made that observation in say-{ ing he does not intend to submit his | own plan for revision of the civil| service laws at the next Congress. | “I want to strengthen those laws,” he said, “and I believe I know their weaknesses because I was on the Civil Service Commisison for years. But the plan will not go into the next ses- sion.” Guffey, busy touring Pennsylvania in advance of the State's off-year elec- tion next month, declared his inquiries show conclusively that the adminis- tration still holds the public favor, I — JOHN S. HURLEY QUITS SECURITIES COMMISSION The resignation of John S. Hurley, former prohibition chief, as an at- torney-examiner of the Federal Se- curities and Exchange Commission was announced yesterday. Mr. Hur- ley will resume the private practice of law. Hurley, who has been one of the Democratic leaders in New Hampshire, will cpen a law office in Boston, with | & branch in Manchester, N. H.

Secretary Perkins yesterday an- nounced plans to conduct “a vngorousl campaign against the menace of in- dustrial accidents and diseases,” ap- pointing Dr. Alice Hamilton, formerly of the Harvard Medical School, as her technical adviser. “The most liberal of our compen- | sation laws,” Miss Perkins said in announcing the appointment, “only partially substitute for lost wages, so that industrial injuries and diseases always bear down heavily upon the | unfortunate victims.” the Securities | car.

First it was a barn that was con- verted into a theater out Rockville way—now what used to be the Shore- ham Saddle Club has heard the call of Thespis and is being remodeled into a studio playhouse by the King- Smith Studio School. Where for- merly horses kicked up their heels, saddles were slung around the walls, and diplomats cantered out into an early morning breeze, grease-paint, footlights and scenery have taken | over—and out of stalls and hay has | arisen as fine a Little Theater as this city has seen. Well may the young and tender stu- dents of this fashionable school feel pleased at what their masters have done. Both Mr. and Mrs. August King-Smith have slaved away at their | theater brain-child—and what Dra- | matic Director Caroline McKinley has | done is nobody's business either. | Yesterday, Miss McKinley paused long enough between sessions of classes to take us on a tour of the new playhouse.

OFFICIALS SKEPTICAL EDMUNDSTON, New Brunswick, October 26 (#).—Officials have ex- pressed belief that the wreckage of an unidentified seaplane found in the wilds of Northern New Brunswick was that of a rum-running plane which crashed years ago. ‘They gave scant consideration to rumors that the wreck could be that of the long-missing land plane in which the Prench aviators, Capt. Charles Nungesser and Capt. Francis Coli, left Paris in 1927 on a flight across the Atlantic. Their fate has aever been determined.

Here's how it happened: An automobile owned by Marvin C. Smith of Fairfax, Va., stalled near the K street intersection. Miles Ford, 27, of 622 I street, got out to crank the car—and then things happened. He had left the car in reverse gear and when he twisted the crank, the machine started, careened across Seventh street backward, hooked the rear of Rosen’s car and both proceeded across the sidewalk into the show window. —Star Staff Photo. D. C, OCTOBER 27, 1935—PART ONE. DRIVE TO RENOVE HAZARDS PUSHED Red Cross to Guide Cam- paign in Montgomery Homes. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., October 26.—A search for accident hazards in Mont- gomery County homes and farmsteads will be launched Monday under the guidance of the Montgomery County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The campaign to prevent accidents in the home is a part of the National Red Cross program of home and farm accident prevention, which has been in operation for a few weeks. More than 14,000 “inspection blanks” are to be distributed to sehool chil- dren in the county and these will be taken home, where the children are asked to check with their parents common accident hazards which exist in most homes. No Agents to Call. The object will be to call attention to common hazards and thus bring about their elimination. It has been pointed out by the Montgomery County Chapter that no outside agent will go to the homes, but that the so-called inspection will be made by the children and their parents. Meanwhile preparation for the an- nual roll call is being made by the county chapter under the direction of former Judge Donald A. De Lashmutt of Rockville, chairman for the drive. Workers will be summoned to a din- ner, expected to be held on November 4, to complete plans. Mrs. J. H. Gorm- ley of Rockville is chairman of the Committee on Arrangements for the dinner, Hope to End Deficit. Mrs. William Wight of Silver Spring, chairman of the county branch, said today that workers in Montgomery hope to obtain sufficlent funds from the roll call this year to meet a deficit in the county nursing service and to provide for its full operations next year. The chapter enrolled 3,450 members last year. The highway accident prevention campaign inaugurated by the Nation- @l Red Cross also is occupying atten- tion of the chapter, which indorsed the campaign at its monthly meeting this week. If roli call funds permit, the county chapter hopes to establish several highway first-aid stations on arterial roads through the county. Establish- ment of such stations is a part of the national program, D CONVENES TOMORROW D. C. Sunday School Association to Hold Two-Day Meeting.
