8,000 GUARDSMEN 26th Division Parades Be- Sfore Gen. Craig, Gov. Nice and Other Notables. BY WILLIAM S. TARVER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. August 21.—With a leaden sky threatening #ain, the 8,000 officers and men of the 29th National Guard Division to- day passed in review before Gen. Malin Craig, chief of staff of the Army, and other dignitaries, includ- ing Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland and Districc Commissioner Dan Bultan. Washington's 12Ist Engineers turned out early and laid off the parade ground in sectors, allotting to each organization the space it was to oc- cupy in the impressive ceremony. Gen. Craig arrived shortly before the review, which got under way at 11 am. With him in the reviewing stand were numerous other high ranking officers, including Maj. Gen. Edward Croft, chief of Infantry; Ma). Gen. Albert J. Bowley, commanding general of the 3d Cprps Area; Maj. Gen. Albert H. Blanding, chief of the Na- tional Guard Bureau; Maj. Gen. E. C. Shannon, commanding the 28th Na- tional Guard Division of Pennsyl- vania, and Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, commander of the 29th. Today’s ceremony marked the first time the entire division has passed in review since it left France in 1918. Never before in peace time have all its units trained together. ‘Maj. William T. Roy of Washington and his 29th Division Special Troops led the parading troops. Next in line were the 91st Brigade of Virginia, the 58th Brigade, Maryland; the 121st Engineers, Maryland, and the 104th Medical Regiment, Virginia. The 111th Field Artillery of Virginia was the first motor outfit to cross the parade ground, followed by the 110th of Maryland and the 176th of Penn- sylvania. The 104th Provisional Quartermaster Regiment brought up the rear. Soaring overhead, the 104th Obser- vation Squadron dipped in graceful galute to the distinguished guests. These included Brig. Gen. Frederick B. Kerr, adjutant general of Pennsyl- vania; Col. A. §. Janeway, deputy ad~ Jjutant general of Pennsylvania; Col. J. A. Baer, chief of staff of the 3d Corps Area; Col. Louis A. Kunzig, as- gistant chief of staff of the Corps Area; Col. A. F. Commiskey, National Guard officer for the Corps Area; Col. Fay Brabson, Col. Walter V. 8hip- ley and Maj. Coleman B. Marks, su- perintendent of the reservation. All lunched with Gen. Reckord after the | Feview. Both the 121st Engineers and their commander, Col. John W. Oehmann, were praised by Gen. Reckord and Col. Rowan P. Leml§, senior Regular | William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, | Army umpire in the mimic battle com- pleted yesterday.

It was simply another case of placing too much confldence on that frail little seat on which motormen perch when they tire of standing; for there, sprawled all over the front of the car, was the motorman. After a brief struggle he regained his feet, snatched the seat into po- sition and the ride was resumed.

OFFICALS REVIEW |[W ashington | USE OF TROOPERS IN STRIKE DENIED Governor Holds Seattle Responsible for Main- taining Order. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, August 21.—Gov. Clar- ence D. Martin laid responsibility to- day for maintaining order in the Se- attle Post-Intelligencer’s nine-day-old news room strike at the doors of municipal and King County authori- tes. Declaring “law and order have not failed in Seattle,” the Governor in a radio address at Portland, Oreg., gaw no occasion to “talk of use of the State patrol,” or “even to think of the National Guard.” “The primary responsibility for maintaining law and order and pro- tecting the rights and safety of the citizens rests on constituted authori- ties of the city or county in which the difficulty occurs,” the Governor asserted. Assails Editorial. He lashed out at what he called an “inflammatory editorial” dealing with the strike called by the Seattle Chap- ter of the American Newspaper Guild August 13 in protest against the dis- charge of two guild members. Hearst newspaper executives asserted the men were dismissed for cause. Strikers said they were discharged for guild activity. The Governor expressed hope for arbitration and tendered his services. Guild pickets patrolled the closed plant where publication was sus- pended August 14. A few police were on hand. There was no intimation from either side that the end of the deadlock was in sight or negotiations under way. Hearst States Views. In a statement from Rome, Italy, William Randolph Hearst, publisher | of the P.-I, said: “It has cost me over a million dol- | lars to conduct my paper in Seattle all through the depression and up to date. “If the Communists want to relieve | me of that cost and of the duty cf | supplying jobs to labor, it is not an unmixed evil. I would save money. “However, there is a greater issue | at stake than saving money. “There is the issue of a free press | and a free country. “No press is free that is subject to mob rule. “No country is free where the pub- lic officials are too cowardly or tov corrupt to protect the fundamental | rights of loyal and law-abiding citi- GUILD MAKES REPLY. Fair Working Conditions Is Held | “Real Issue.” | NEW YORK, August 21 (#).—The American Newspaper Guild, in a state- ment last night, asserted that “the | real issue involved” in the Seattle | Post-Intelligencer strike “is the right of organized newspapermen to uek, fair working conditions, and the right of other organized workers to[ support them in a strike brought on | | by the denial of those conditions.” The statement. signed by Heywood Broun, international president, de- I nied that the strike had led to ter- | |rorism and the breakdown of law and order in Seattle. | Replying to a statement issued by | the general management of Hearst newspapers, it said that this manage- ment, while declining conferences to end the strike, “is filling downtown | Seattle hotels with armed men, termed | ‘loyal workers’ imported from Los An- ‘geleu and San Prancisco.” It denied that there has been "lo-| lence on the part of trade unions iplcketh'lg the Post-Intelligencer, but | said many of the trade unionists have | |been assaulted and that the Hearst| | management “is using its immense Nation-wide resources to confuse the | | public mind and befuddie and mis- | represent the issue.” The Guild charged that workers im- ported by Hearst from other cities wore fake identification buttons of | local unions and “cruise the city in| | cars, beating up pickets and terroriz- | ing the wives of strikers late at nlgh!‘l while their husbands are on the picket | line.” ‘The Hearst management, it asserted, | “with attempts to incite a spirit of | mob violence against the duly con. | stituted authorities of the city be- | cause they have refused to conaonme the reign of terror which Hearst has | | already instituted,” and quotes from | i old telegrams of international presi-| dents of the printing crafts unions in | an effort to misrepresent the present situation and make the strike appear | illegal. The statement said that scores of labor unions in Seattle are actively behind the strike; that the American Newspaper Guild, an affiliate of the | American Federation of Labor, as- sumes full responsibility for the strike and its direction, and that Jonathan Eddy, national executive secretary of the guild, is on the scene and in per- songl charge. The guild says it welcomes the aid and co-operation of other unions, “in- cluding the valuable and active aid of the teamsters, longshoremen and woodsmen,” and will go further by seeking the backing of the entire la- bor movement in America. It adds that “for the last six months the American Newspaper Guild has been engaged in a strike against Hearst’s Wisconsin News, in Milwau- kee, where his cries of terror have gerved to conceal the blunt refusal of the management to accord any form of recognition to his exploited em- ployes.” Sisters to Get $101,000. CLEARWATER, Fla., August 31 (#)—Fred W. Schwamb, who died in Tarpon July 5, left an estate valued at $101,000, according to let- ters of administration filed with County Judge R. Hewitt here yesterday. The estate will be divided between two sisters. | Night Final Delivered by Carrier Anywhere i Guard Mess Aide Gets Surprise Ride " To Earth in *Chute Py & Btaff Correspondent of The Star. INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa; Au- gust 21.—In addition to his first airplane ride, a colored attend- ant at the 20th National Guard mess got some involuntary ex- perience with a parachute yes- terday. Lawrence Pinter begged the colonel for almost two weeks be- fore he won permission to take his first ride aloft. After the flight Pinter was descending from the cockpit when a playful aviator pulled the ripcord of his parachute. At the same time the flyer gave his motor the gun. The blast from the propeller opened Pinter's parachute and blew him nearly 100 feet. 3000 EMPLOYES CUTOFFR.A.STAFF $20,000 of $181,000 Overpayments Still Is Outstanding. By the Associated Press. A reduction of 3,000 workers in the stafl of the Resettlement Administra- tion was reported today by M. E. Gil- fond, information director, coincident with a disclosure that employes of that agency had received $181,000 too much through duplicate pay checks and overpayments up to last September. Gilfond said the Resettlement Ad- ministration’s overpayments had been repaid so that now only $20,000 re- mained outstanding. He added that such “bookkeeping errors” had hap- pened in several “New Deal agencies,” but generally had been “straightened out.” The spokesman for Rexford G. Tugwell's agency said the errors were due chiefly to taking over numerous rural rehabilitation corporations throughout the country that formerly operated under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Lists Made Out in Advance. “Pay rolls must be made out eight days in advance,” he said. “In the shift from payments by headquarters here to regional agencies, there was some duplication between last June and September. Part of the money cerpaid went to employes who re- signed or were separated during the eight days checks were made in ad- vance.” Gilfond said the same thing had happened when he was working in Florida and relief staffs were shifted from “F. E. R. A. to W. P. A" He said that through Ilater audits the | overpayments and duplications were returned. Noting that the $181,000 had been cut to less than $20,000, Gilfond said much of this would be collected be- cause “no one could get a job of any | kind until money he owed was repaid | the Government.” Reduction Is “Natural” Regarding the recent contraction in the number of Rewitlement Ad- ministration workers, Gilfond said this was a “natural sifting down ln‘ all New Deal agencies” as they pass | through “organization phases.” He said reductions had taken place | both in the field and in Washington | in duties.” He predicted that reducuoni of personnel would continue “for an- other 30 days.” Administrative workers had been cut from 19,000 three months ago to 16,000, he said. —_—— HOLD-UP SUSPECT IS ARRESTED HERE Another Still Hunted in Clubbing and Robbing of Cleaning Shop Onwer.

CHICAGO, August 21.—Heavy rains benefitted pastures and forage crops over most of the North Central States last night, but little more was pre- dicted for tonight by Government Forecaster A. W. Cook today. Sowers tonight and tomorrow were expected to be light and scattered in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The remainder of the dis- | trict was to see fair to cloudy skies. Hot weather was to remain in Kansas and Missouri, while the tem- peratures will rise tomorrow in Illi- nois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wis- consin, Cook predicted. Some of the heaviest rains were at Charles City, Iowa, 2.28 inches; La season of holidays the trains are full with vacationists from the humblest walks of life who go to the sea or to the mountains at the expense of the government.

Arthur, head of the experi« mental department at naval air tion here, and Robert Witbeck, repre- senting the Chance-Voight Alrplane Corp. of Hartford, were killed here yes- terday when a new bombing plane piloted by Comdr. Arthur crashed in Little Bay and wrecked. The plane, a new one, arrived at the | naval air station Wedresday from Ana- costia, where it had undergone success- ful tests. It was sent to Norfolk to be tested by Comdr. Arthur. He and Witbeck had been flying for more than an hour when the crash occurred. They had been up 1,000 feet or more. It was belleved at the air station that Comdr. Arthur was bring- ing the plane back to the station when it made its fatal dive into the bay. No one at the base would venture an opin- ion as to what caused the crash. Witbeck’s Body Removed. H. B. Topping of Norfolk was about 75 yards from the scene of the crash, and he was first to reach the plane. He removed the body of Witbeck from the cockpit and held it above water until a Navy craft reached him. He said he saw the plane fall while he was reaching his own boat In which he had been fishing in Littie Bay. “I rushed out to the spot, fastened | my boat to the tail of the plane, ;wmch was visible above water,” Top- | ping said. “Then I removed my clothing and dived in the hope I might” help save the lives of the men in the plane or at least one of them. | Body Found in Plane, | *“I pulled a man out of a cockpit. | He appeared to have some life.

National Scene BY ALICE ROOSEVELT LONGWORTH. Secretary of Alice Longworth, ple of Egypt ACKSON HOLE, Wyo., August 21.—Secretary Wallace speaks highly of Joseph, son of Jacob, in his Cleveland address. He complimeénts the Old Testament character as “one of the earliest economic statesmen.” The scholarly Agriculture is on the right track. If he will reread his Genesis, he may find it & better guide book for American agriculture than his own abstruse writings. Said Joseph: “Let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn . .. And let them keep food in the cities.” ‘When seven yesrs of drought came, the peo- did not have to import ham from Poland, or grain from Canada. Everybody had enough to eat. Joseph was truly an economic statesman, but he was looked upon as an " economic royalist by those who came from Cansan to buy food of | the thrifty Egyptians. (Copyright, 1936.)
