SOCIAL SECURITY AGT I3 EXPLAINED John A. Marshal Addresses Founders’ Conference of De Molay. Special Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 7.—Pro- Yisions of the social security act were | outlined today before the De Molay Founders’ Conference by John A. Mar- shall, director of the Unemployment | Board for the District of Columbia, | who appeared as personal representa- tive of Chairman John A. Winant of the Federal Social Security Board. Speaking of the goal of social secur- 4ty, Marshall asserted “our thinking about the causes, remedies and means of handling the problems of social in- security has not always changed with the times. Until 1930 we were han- dling the dependency resulting from economic insecurity much as it had been handled under the old English | law of the sixteenth century. “Today as a Nation we are getting under way a new, more orderly and more economically sound and desir- able method of handling economic in- security. The problem is as old as civilization, the cost has always ex- | isted and always will.” Lists 10 Phases. Marshall listed 10 different parts of the social security legislation, includ- | ings grants to States for old-age as- | sistance, Federal old-age benefits, un- employment compensation adminis- tration, aid to the blind, maternal and ; child welfare and public health work, the social security, taxes with respect to employment and on employers of eight or more. He pointed out to the young men of De Moilay that in years to come they automatically will group themselves either as employers or employes. “In- dustry,” he said. “either directly or indirectly, bears the brunt of the cost.” The conference, now in its second day in Kansas City's new $6.000,000 municipal auditorium, was called to consider the future course the De Molay movement is to take and basi- cally to view the problems now facing young men Lester Addresses Conference. As the representative of Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Inspector W. H Drane Lester, administrative assistant | in the bureau, addressed the confer- ence yesterday on operations of the law enforcement agency, the training | of its men and the cost of crime to the United States each year, which he estimated at $15,000,000,000. | “I wish to dispel the erroneous idea | to the effect that all our time is spent in chasing kidnapers and bank rob- bers,” Lester said. “It is a compara- | tively small part of our work. Dur- ing the, fiscal year 1935 we sent up 470 individuals for steaing from inter- | state shipments, 1,597 for stealing au- tomobiles and driving them across | State lines, 221 for violations of the | national bank and Faderal Reserve | acts, 205 white slave traffic act vio- lators, 137 impersonators of Federal | officers, 117 for violating the national | bankruptey act. 176 for theft of Gov- | ernment property, 79 bank robbers | &nd 40 kidnapers.” He told of the large number of | young men arrested for crimes and Ppointed out how they might have been steered into right living. “Expose him @s the dirty, sniveling coward he inva- rably turns out to be and you will find that few young Americans will want to follow in his footsteps,” the inspec- gor declared. “If you, the public-spirited citizens of this country, will co-operate whole- | heartedly with the local authorities | and Federal officers, the crime prob- lem will cease to exist,” Lester con- cluded. 1 Dead, 315 Poisoned. JERUSALEM, July 7 (/).—One Jew died Monday of food poisoning, for | which 315 have been treated in hos- | pitals during the last two days. | Some authorities expressed the be- lief the poisoning was attributable to fish brought from Iraq through the desert. | cor. . tion is a demonstrated success. Philippines Commission- er to State Views on Governorship. Frank Murphy, United States high commissioner to the Philippine Islands, said today he would make a decision this week on whether or not he would be a randidate for Gover- nor of Michigan. He expects to make an announcement when he re- turns to Detroit Thursday or Fri- day. “My first statement will be to the people of ‘Michigan,” he said. ‘The young, red-haired former Mayor of Detroit declined to comment further on his candidacy beyond saying that he would make the decision himself. Close friends, however, admittad that strong pressure has been brought to bear, not only in his home State, but in Washington, to persuade him to run, knowing his popularity with the non-machine elment of both par- ties. While his friends believe his personal preference would be to con- tinue in his present post, they know his loyalty to President Roosevelt and agree that his decision will probably be based upon what he considers to be best for the President’s success in the coming election. Discusses Philippine Affairs. ‘The commissioner, who arrived here today from Detroit, where he stopped for a few days en route to the Capital from Manila, spent the morning in conference with State Department of- ficials discussing Philippine affairs and is completing a lengthy report on con- ditions there to be submitted before he leaves. “The Philippine question is one which the United States cannot slough off lightly merely because the islands are to be granted complete in- dependence at some future time,” Murphy explained. “They are struggling with the pr.»- Iom of independence as we did more than 150 years ago. One cannot spend three years among them without hav- ing the highest regard for them and the deepest interest in aiding them in | caching a solution. “The political phases of their new ‘We must aid them in finding a basis for cconomic stabilit” which will make | their political independence perma- nent.” Has Praise for Quezon. Commissioner Murphy expressed the highest respect for President | Manuel Quezon, the political leaders with whom he had surrounded him- self in his cabinet and appointive | offices, and his non-political appoint- ments to the judiciary. “The Philippines are ready for inde- pence, politically. ested in public affairs are very nation- alistic, more like the Japanese in this respect than the Chinese, he said. “But their whole economy has been | based upon dependence upon the ! United States. About 83 per cent of | their foreign trade is with this coun- | try. As a result, they are not as far along economically as they are politi- | cally. “Political independence on a per- | manent basis depends on economic dependence, and the United States | has a moral obligation to help solve | this problem. That is the purpose of the trade conference which I hope to call next year, to lend assistance in | laying the foundation for real trade | co-operation between the Philippines and the United States.” Murphy will be the guest of Quen- —_— ANNOUNGING!!

D July 10-11 | PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD ) INDUSTRY RACKET DRIVE IS PUSHED New York Prosecutor May Form Additional Grand Juries. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 7.—Special Prose- cutor Thomas E. Dewey, pushing ahead in his drive to free the metrop- olis of rackets, opened a fight today on racketeering in industry. Although silent on details of the new inquiry, the young attorney said he would confer with Gov. Herbert H. Lehman at Albany about forming two additional grand juries to hear evi- dence. | “The material for the next trials | is in the mill now,” he added. Keeps Move Secret. Asked if he expected to prosecute strike-breaking activities of labor racketeers, Dewey replied: “If I revealed what I intend to do ROUGE AND POWDER ALLYOU WISH next, how could I lock up any one in New York? I had to go to Hot Springs for the last one, you know.” His reference was to Charles (Lucky) Luciano, convicted with eight assoclates as a leader in vice rack- eteering, which Dewey contended in- volved several million dollars a year, After completing the Luciano case, which Dewey said required seven months’ preparation, he announced he intended to investigate 11 other major rackets in the city. He previously had been credited with breaking up the loan shark racket, by which small borrowers were forced to pay annual interest as high as 1,040 per cent. Subpoenas Servea. The prosecutor, named by the Gov- | ernor nearly a year ago, said that | subpoenas were being served “all the | time” on mercantile orgamznlwns.i His staff is making a study of the | records of various firms, he ex- plained. | The New York Times said Dewey is | reported to be investigating industrial | racketeers in the garment district and | that he has subpoenaed the books of a number of restaurants. L He 1s known to have expressed the belief, the paper added, that res- i taurant owners have been forced to| pay as much as $2,000,000 a year | tribute to a “protective” association. | BUT REMOVE COSMETICS WITH LUX TOILET SOAP MRS.
