An investigation was under way today to determine whether the drowning of John Henry Edinger, 34- year-old baker, was merely the result of a practical joke. Edinger drowned last night in Washington Channel, near Water and I streets after yelling to Paul Caspar, 13, of 922 Sixth street southwest, that what he was about to do was going to be “a good joke on his sister-in-law’s husband. When Edinger, wiio was employed by the Sanico Bakery, sank below the surface, Paul ran to the home of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Jones at 920 Seventh street southwest, with whom Edinger lived, to tell them of the tragedy. Police recovered Edinger's body in half an hour, but efforts to revive him failed. Mrs. Jones is Edinger’s sister-in- law. Edinger's wife was taken to an asylum at Sykesville, Md., a week ago. His son, John, 5, lives with his grand- mother at Hollywood, Md. Paul said Edinger, while standing on the dock, said: “Run to my house, little boy, and tell Mr. Jones I have drowned.” Later, in the water, Edinger said: “THis is going to be a good joke on Mr. Jones,” according to Paul. Edinger came here three weeks ago from Bradbury Heights, Md., to live with Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Members of his family were expected today to claim the body, which was taken to the District Morgue. The investigation was being carried on by Coroner A. Magruder Mac- Donald and homicide squad detectives. TRIO REAPPOINTED Dr. Ballou, F. J. Coleman and Dr. Havenner to Serve Again.

C, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1 Drowned | GOL.E.N.JOHNSTON/BERKMAN, FAMIED STANLEY LEE SMITH, RIVER 1S DRAGGED FOR CHILD'S BODY |Death Ends Fishing Trip for Stanley Lee Smith, 8, of Fairfax County. By & Staff Correspondent ot The Star. | MCLEAN, Va, July 1.—Police and firemen today continued their search for the body of Stanley Lee Smith, 8, | son of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Stanley Smith of near McLean, who was drowned in the Potomac at the mouth of Dead Run yesterday. With his elder brother, J. Lloyd Smith, 12, and a companion, William Triplett, 9, the boy left home yester- day to go fishing in the run. The three followed the stream to its mouth, 4 miles from their home. Leaving his clothes on a rock, Stan- ley told the other boys he was going swimming. They saw him slip into the water, become trapped in the eddies of the river and heard him shout for help before disappearing. The two ran the 4 miles back to the Smith home to tell the boy’s mother. Last night firemen of McLean, Bethesda, Cabin John and Cherrydale departments and Fairfax county police dragged unsuccessfully for the body. They resumed the work this mommz Drought (Contmued Prom Hrst P:Ie) especially dry this year, with the driest areas ranging from only 7 per | cent of normal rainfall in Louisiana Ito 15 or 20 per cent in Tennessee, | Kentucky and Missouri and about one- third of normal in the Northern Ohio Valley States. “Pasture lands, hay, oats, Spring wheat and truck crops,” the bureau said, “have been the hardest hit. Very | little pasture is now available be- tween the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains, with the stock water situa- tion serious in many Northwestern localities. Live stock shipments are becoming heavy because there is no pasture or water. On the other hand, conditions in the Far West, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Cali- fornia, are decidedly favorable, with grain crops good to excellent and pastures fine. “Also along the Atlantic Seaboard | recent rains have been timely and | helpful, but this condition is confined | to a rather narrow strip, extending | from New England to Georgia and Florida.” President Roosevelt said it looked now as if crops in the Western Dakotas, Eastern Montana and Wyoming would fail altogether. while drought condi- tions are getting worse in Eastern Okla- homa, Western Arkansas, Northern Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Millions in relief money will be poured out if the worst comes true, the President indicated. The Govern- ment will aid 50,000 to 100,000 fam- ilies and also may buy up cattle to save them from starving If necessary, he said. The cattle purchases alone might cost $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. Sources of Funds. ‘There was no official estimate as to how much money would be needed, but Mr. Roosevelt said funds could be obtained from the relief appropriation and from the Federal Surplus Com- modities Corp. While the picture was depicted as ditions will undergo a marked im- provement. Mucn depends on the amount of rainfall in the next few days, it is indicated. If there is no rain within 10 days, Wallace said, “the crop situation will be worse in some sections than it was in 1934"— the year of the great drought. As for funds, Wallace indicated the IS DEAD IN WEST Widely Known in Capital. Word Is Awaited on Funeral Plans. The War Department today was awaiting word of the funeral arrange- ments for Col. Edward Neele John- ston, 60, Engineer Corps, U. 8. A, retired, who died Saturday in San Francisco. Col. Johnston was widely known in this city, having been on a number of tours of duty here. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal “for excep- tionally meritori- ous and distin- guished services” overseas during the World War. He served with the A. E. F. as deputy chief of the Chemi- cal Warfare Serv- ice from May, 1918, to December, 1918, and as acting chief of the service from the latter date to August, 1919, His last service in Washington was as assistant to the director of Chemi- cal Warfare Service from August, 1919, to May, 1920. Other services here included that of battalion quar- termaster and commissary, 2d Bat- talion of Engineers; post quarter- master and commissary, Washington Barracks; assistant to the chief of Engineers. He was delegated by the State Department for several years, until 1917, as consulting engineer for South Australia in connection with river and harbor improvement works. Col. Johnston was retired for dis- abiiity in line of duty October 4, 1924, A native of St. Louis, he was the son of the late Lieut. Col. W. H. Johnston, Pay Department, U. S. A, and was graduated from the Military Academy in 1901. Col. Johnston was a brother of the late Maj. W. H. Johnston, who commanded the 91st Division, A. E. F. Following his retirement, Col. Johns- ton served as consulting engineer for the City of Long Beach, Calif, from October, 1924, to October, 1928, Irvin S. Cobb Says: Col. Johnston, Gas Stations Sometimes Give Entirely Too Much Service. RIVERSIDE, Calif, July 1—An open letter to the gasoline companies: Dear gasses—why must the customer have the windshield wiped—if he doesn't want the windshield wiped? Why shuold the ceremonial be com- pulsory, instead of optional? Maybe he’s in & hurry. Maybe he fears the youth with the squirt gun wil only mess up the windshiela worse than ever, Maybe he’s ner- vous a&nd prerers | & blurry outiook so he cant see how many ciose calls he's going to have from being knocked cold by lady motorists driving’ one way and looking an- other way ana gesturing a third way and talking several ways ail at once, as is the pleasant custom of many lady motorists. Even so, unless he fights like a tiger, he must endure the windshield wiping. I commend the politeness of your attendants, though deploring their frequent habit of apparently going somewhere about a quarter of a mile back of the station to make change. I admire your enterprise and your pumps are indeed works of art. Your highway signs so fill the grate- ful eye that we don't have to look at comparatively dull things, such as_scenery. But my dear gasses, there comes a time when too much service be- comes & nuisance. More in sorrow than in anger, yours plaintively, Irvin S. Cobb. (Copyright, 1936, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) with State spokesmen here yesterday, said prevailing hourly wage rates would be paid on the projects in the stricken sections of Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. Approved undertakings consisted mainly of farm-to-market roads, water conservation, rural' school con- struction and recreation ground de- problem would be harder to solve than it was two years ago. The drought hed an earlier start that year “and Congress was still in ses- M‘ sion to appropriate half a billion dol- lars for relief,” he said. So far, Wallace indicated, the con- sumer’s pocketbook has not been hit. He said “there doesn’t seem to have been enough wheat damage to have an effect on bread prices and it usually takes about nine months after a short corn crop for results to be felt in meat prices.” Relief to Be Unsparing. At St. Paul Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins outlined a relief program which would do “all that needs to be done” without regard to cost. In the same city a demand was heard that drought-stricken farmers be allowed at least $30 a mcath in relief payments. Robert Miller, presi~ dent of the North Dakota Farmers' Co-operative Union, said officials were considering allowing “only $16 & month.” He said $30 was the mini- mum that should be paid. Recommendations for Government aid, Wallace said, were in the hands of the President’s Drought Commit- tee, which includes Wallace, Rexford G. Tugwell, resettlement administra- tor; Hopkins and Daniel W. Bell, act- ing budget director. W. P. A. RUSHES PROGRAM. Employment To Be Provided 25.“0‘ to 50,000 in Drought. ST. PAUL, July 1 (#) —Works Prog- ress administrators of five States to- day rushed a program of work relief for farmers whose crops were ruined by the drought. ‘They aimed to provide employment for at least 25,000 and possibly 50,000 men within the next 10 days. velopment. Hopkins made no estimate of the amount of money the program would involve, but said funds would be available to State administrators “as fast as they are required and in such amounts as are necessary to meet the emergency.” o ESTABLISHED 1865 o Uniform Service The Same Every Doy When you see the red-let- tered gray uniforms of Bar- ker on the street, you know 7 that high-grade materials are being delivered at Wash- 7 ington’s lowest prices 7 promptly and . . . without 7 charge.

NICE, France, July 1.—Alexander Berkmang the internationally-known died June 28 in a hospital here of a self-inflicted bullet wound, it was disclosed today. Berkman, would-be assassin of the late Henry C. Frick, Pittsburgh steel magnate, shared with Emma Goldman the leadership of the groups of an- archists which sprang up in the wake of the 1886 Haymarket riots in Chicago and plagued American authorities until their wholesale deportation December 21, 1921. In that period occurred such major outrages as the attempt to kill Russell Sage, New: York financier, with a bomb in 1891; the assassination of President McKinley, 1901; the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times Building in 1909 | and the bombing of the San Francisco preparedness parade in 1916. Rampant radicalism was at the bottom of all these events and of scores of less spectacular crimes in connection with the constant agitation against the social and political order. Many of these events, notably the McKinley assassination, were connect- ed by direct evidence with the preach- ments and writings of Berkman, Miss Goldman and their satellites. Berk- man was editing a magazine called the Blast when the San Francisco pre- paredness day bomb exploded, and was Indicted for murder in connection with that event, but was not brought to trial. In February, 1915, he acknowledged that an explosion the previous July at 133d street and Lexington avenue, New York, in which three men were killed, resulted from efforts to manufacture 2 bomb which was to hsve been used against John D. Rockefeller and his son. This was at the time when agita- tors and pickets had pursued the Rockefellers from New York to Tarry- town to Cleveland and back to Tarry- town. There 250 special police protect- ed the muitimillionaire and several anarchistic speakers were soundly trounced by the guards. Justice caught up with Berkman three times. He served nearly 14 ars for his attack on Frick, spent two | years in Atlanta penitentiary for ob- | structing the draft in the World War and then was deported, together with Miss Goldman, to their native Russia. Berkman was born in Vilna, now in- corporated in Poland, November 21, 1870, of prosperous Jewish parents. Owing to his father’s business position, the family was permitted to reside in St. Petersburg and Berkman's child- hood was spent there. Then the fathe:'s death lost his survivors the right to live in the old Czarist capital and the widow, selling the business, moved with her three sons and two daughters to Kovno, now capital of Lithuania. This city was the natal town of Miss Goldman. 37th JEW IS SLAIN Watchman at Hedera in Holy Land Ambush Victim.
