A2 eew OLD MAN RIVER ‘LS PROPOSED Scenarios Depicting Prob- lems Ready for Tugwell’s Approval. BY BLAIR BOLLES. Old Man River and his tributaries are about to become movie stars. For the benefit of the American pic- ture fan the Resettlement Administra- tion is all but ready to dramatize on film the problems of the Mississippi Valley, just as last Fall it dramatized the prairie in “The Plow That Broke the Plains.” Three tentative scenarios have been Pprepared by Pare Lorentz, the guiding genius of R. A's Hollywood depart- ment, it was learned today, for sub- mission to Dr. Rexford Tugwell, Re- settlement head, when he returns from the drought lands. Lorentz is ready to “shoot” as soon as Tugwell picks the scenario he likes best and gives the go-ahead signal. As in “The Plow,” this picture will throb with the rhythms of Virgil Thompson. In the opinion of many critics, this composer contributed, through his musical interpretation of the problem the film was presenting, the most sensational feature of the earlier picture, which now is playing 1ts sixth week in Boston. Tugwell Aides Optimistic. So successful has been the inde- pendent distribution of “The Plow” that Tugwell aides today are optimistic that the professional cinema industry might be willing to arrange bookings for the Mississippi show. Hollywood turned down the prairie epic. Lorentz, a former movie ecritic, gought in vain for eight years before he met Tugwell to sell his idea that the drama of America solving its prob- lems was the greatest drama possible in this country. Tugwell and Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace listened. To understand the meaning of bet- ter land use in relation to the Missis- sippi Valley, Lorentz for three months has been studying governmental re- ports and surveys on conditions and developments in that vast region, which spreads from Pittsburgh to Butte, Mont., and from Leech Lake, Minn,, to the Delta, When he goes into the Midwest with his camera men and his script and his sound effects, Lorentz will be after a picture illustrating a conclusion Teached by Morris Cooke, now head of the R. E. A. in the report of the Mis- 8issippi Valley Committee. i “Life in the Mississippi Valley of the future need not be poverty-stricken or precarious,” Cooke wrote. “The forces making for health and well- :::g, o?;e thr;)y are controlled, are er than those which ey make for k Future in Own Hands. “The quality of life in the valley can be enormously improved. It need not 80 the way of the valley of the Nile, the valleys of the Tigris or Euphrates, where sands have drifted into old irrigation ditches and the sites of opulent gardens or the stripped valley: of China. 1>l . “We have knowledge that the older eivilizations lacked. If we synthesize that knowledge to make our plans, if We put a common purpose above local Jealousies and conflicts of interest, the future is in our own hands,” What form the movie is to take is unknown. But in outline, it will picture the tragic waste of impraper nd use, with soil erosion, deforesta- tion, overgrazing, floods. Lorentz may 80 into Central Minnesota, where the Father of Waters has its source, and into North Dakota forest lands, along the upper reaches of the Missouri, to make his picture, as well as along the levee-lined Old Man River below the mouth of the Ohio. ‘Through all this region are govern- mental projects—power, flood control, Irrigation and navigation projects to halter nature and resettlement proj- ects to provide for the Ppopulace. Forty of the latter are in the im- mediate vicinity of the Mississippt River alone. What they accomplish, or seek to accomplish, will be the climax of this movie of man’s battle against nature and the mistakes of his ancestors in dealing with natfre, SALVATION ARMY SHIFTS ANNOUNCED Extensive Changes in Local Corps Disclosed at Meeting. Maj.

POOKA. CH a cat to explore and it will go on exploring forever, even under the most unideal conditions. That's the way with Pooka, who came out of the alleys into the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Armand Denis. The Denises are explorers, just back from an expedition into the Belgian Congo. Pooka went.along. He explored also. To date the results of his explorations include having been lost twice in Africa. once in Fez, Morocco. His owners always found him, once through the good offices of a French military aviator, who restored him to the Denises in the desert. By the time he returned to his Washington home Pooka had devel- oped the habit of exploring and get- ting lost. Recently he disappeared for four days. The Denises finally located him through an odd noise that seemed to be. coming from somewhere be- tween the ceiling and the second floor of the house. Judiciously cutting away the floor of the second story, they finally lo- cated him, trapped among the rafters and far more bedraggled looking than ever ‘before in his career as explorer. * % x % RAINEY’S RUN., There i a photograph on the walls of U. S. Park Police head- quarters which would indicate that former Chief Officer M. A. Rainey must have had to retire twice to get out of the service. He did not, however, The photograph is one of those panoramic things in which it is possible for the man standing on one end of the line to run to thé other, thus appearing twice in the final result. The trick has been done many times, but it never fails to evoke comment among those who notice Rainey's particular version of it * L STANCHION. Dm you ever grab for a bus stan- chion to maintain your equilib- rium, as the vehicle gave a lurch in starting, and have the blame thing move? The young woman secretary to a prominent insurance manager had just such an experience the other day on a Takoma express bus. The bus started off with & ferk which nearly upset the many standees. The heroine of this tale endeavored to steady herself with one of those metal uprights which take the place of the old-time straps. To her great sur- prise and consternation, the stanchion moved. A meek passenger, also holding the “stanchion,” spoke up and assured the young lady that she was perfectly wel- come to hold onto the curtain pole he carried if she wished. She thanked him, but didn't wish. *® k¥ ¥ RING’'S RETURN. SEVEN years of separation from her wedding ring have just ended for the wife of a Navy commander sta- tioned in Washington. Tke re-union, it seems, is one of those odd combina- tions of circumstances that every one likes to read about. The story began when the owner of the ring, finding it tight for her finger, had it filed in order to remove it. Thinking she would be able to wear it again, she dropped the ring in an envelope, put it away and forgot about it for some time. The envelope had disappeared when she went to look for it later. Years passed and the ring was only & memory until this Summer. On the occasion of a visit to relatives in Asheville, N. C,, the woman told the story. At its conclusion a sister of the tale- teller left the room, apparently excited about something. She returned a few minutes later with the envelope and the ring. The former had been used by one of the children of the officer’s family for a letter written years pe- fore. The ring in the letter had no meaning to the recipient, but she had saved both. * x ¥ x BARRISTER. A BRAND-NEW lawyer was much excited after he had read his name on the list of successful candi- dates. The most impressive way to let his friends and relatives know, he decided, was to mail the news first- hand. So, with an assortment of newspapers tucked under his arm, he floated homeward on glorious clouds, Suddenly he was brought to earth by & meek voice from a meek little lady. On her palm lay two pennies. “T’ll take a Star, boy,” she said. His response—with all the dignity of his new position—“Lady! I am a barrister!” e r INSPIRED. There is one husband around Washington who probably will re- member the Summer of 1936 as the last ome in which his wife trusted him to remain here alone while she went on a vacation, The wife came home not long ago to find the house crowded with prospective Dbuyers, the keeping up a constant jangle with calls from others anzious fo snop up perhaps the best real estate bar~ gain ever offered in Washington. Investigation on her part disclosed that the husbend, left to his own devices, was inspired to sell the house at a price so low that a relief beneficiary could have ., bought it. 5 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

LAW WILL AVENGE SEASHORE MURDER California Prosecutor Prom- ises Death in Slaying of Y. W. C. A. Woman. Ry the Assoctated Press. LA JOLLA, Calif, September 3.— District Attorney Thomas Whelan promised death today for the lustful killer of prim Ruth Muir, social welfare worker and Wellesley College graduate, who was criminally attacked and beaten to death Monday night when found alone in the moonlight at La Jolia's famed seashore. The district attorney, emphasizing he has taken qply an unofficial inter- est so far in the puzzling death of the 48-year-old Y. W. C. A, secretary, said he was leaving the slaying solution in the hands of Chief of Police George Sears of San Diego. “If and when, however,” the district attorney said, “the chief of police or sherifl’s office presents me with suf- clent evidence to bring the case to trial, I will prosecute the defendant and demand the full penalty of the law.” Hat Principal Clue. The principal bit of evidence of po- lice todav was a bedraggled pith hel. met, apparently bloodstained and found | washed up on the beach near the death scene by a 9-year-old boy, Hay- worth Isom of La Jolla. “We're checking the hat, as well as | every other bit of possible evidence,” Chief Sears said. Reviewing meager bits of informa- tion uncovered since the brutal killing | was discovered Tuesday, both Chief Sears and Detective Capt. Harry Kelly scoffed at theories that Miss Muir met death at the hands of a woman as- sailant. “There is nothing,” Capt. Kelly said | flatly, “to back up such a theory at this time. The physical facts of the woman's condition as determined after death fail to bear out such a thought. “I can't see that any one but a man was responsible for this crime.” Hair Hard to Identify, His statement was given in the face of a report from Detective Ed Dieck- mann that expert tests of human hair found in Miss Muir’s hand showed ths strands to be “of lighter shade than the hair of Miss Muir.” “We don't know, however,” Capt. Kelly sald, “whether the hair was from the head of Miss Muir or some one else, or whether it came from the head of a man or woman. Any surmise to the contrary at this time is not justified by the facts or the information given to me by Detective Dieckmann, who took the hair specimens to Pomona, Calif., for examination by an expert.” A chunk of cement, found near the murder scene, was examined but found to bear no evidence of bloodstains, as previously supposed. FIREMEN SAVE MAN PINNED BENEATH CAR Baltimorean Was Unconscious From Monoxide Gas When Rescuers Arrived. By the Assoclated Press. REVIERA BEACH, Md., September 3.—Reviera Beach volunteer firemen outraced death yesterday. Seven of them, led by Chief John Bayne, made a speedy run from their engine house here to save the life of Leon Bannon, 23, Baltimore, pinned under his wrecked car and already un- conscious from carbon monoxide gas fumes. They lifted the roadster from Bannon, revived him and carried him to a Baltimore hospital. Bannon and Richard Michelson, 23, of Paradise Beach were riding when their car hit a tree and overturned. Michelson was thrown free, but Ban- non was pinned under the car. ‘The motor still was running and neither man could reach the ignition switch to stop it. Michelson ran to a nearby house and telephoned the fire company. Bannon, the driver, said the car was wrecked when its headlights went bad. BUDGET ESTIMATE SCORED BY MILS Roosevelt Is Charged With Giving Misleading Picture. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 3.—Ogden L. Mills of New York, Secretary of the United States Treasury under for- mer President Herbert Hoover, in a statement issued through Republican national headquarters last night ac- cused President Roosevelt of making “for campaign purposes” a budget estimate “seriously misleading * * * in so far as the general public is con- cerned.” “For those familiar with Treasury bookkeeping methods,” Mills said, the President’s statement “is technically correct.” Mills charged the popular effect of the Roosevelt statement, given out at the White House Tuesday, was to cre- ate the impression that the 1937 Fed- eral deficit would be $1,170,000,000 less than Mills said it actually was. The President’s estimate of the deficit was $2,096,996,300. Mills’ esti- mate was $3,266,996,300. $620, ,000 Item Involved. Hoover’s Treasury Secretary said he arrived at his figure by adding to the Roosevelt estimate $620,000,000 in cash receipts from recoverable as- sets, such as loans by the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp., the Fai.n Credit Administration and the Commodity Credit Administration. Mills said Roosevelt deducted this figure. Mills also added $550,000,000 for probable “recovery and relief” charges. He said the President did not inciude this amount. “Though obviously intended for cam- paign purposes, the budget statement just published by President Roosevelt is nevertheless an cfficial document dealing with the public finances and intended to inform the public,” Mills asserted. “As such it should be ac- curate and give a true picture, “I regret to say that in so far as estimated expenditures are concerned, it is not a true picture, and that in one respect, in so far as the general public is concerned, seriously mislead- ing, though for those familiar with Treasury bookkeeping methods it is technically correct.” Estimate Based on Statement. Mills asserted “the Treasury's own | detailed figures” showed estimates of 1937 expenditures to be *“$620,000,000 more than the President would have the public believe.” Mills said he estimated probable relief and recovery costs for 1937 also on the basis of “Treasury figures, as published in the Treasury daily state- ment of August 28." He said they showed $300,000,000 had been spent in July and in August. Reducing this monthly figure to $250,000,000 for 1937 on the assumption that “expenditures will be moderated after election day,” Mills got a total of $3,000,000,000 for the 12 months of lext year. This, he said, comparéd | with President Roosevelt's estimate for the year of $2,455,000,000. ARSON CHARGE DENIED BY BROWN IN COURT Suspect in Office Fire Held Under $1,000 Bond—Case Continued. John Brown, 500 block of I street, pleaded not guilty and was held un- der $1,000 bond today when arraigned | before Police Court Judge John P. McMahon on a charge of arson. The case was continued until tomorrow. The charge grew out of a fire in an office Brown is said to have rented in the 500 block of H street. The Janitor of the building discovered the blaze in a waste basket Tuesday while Brown was out of the office, police said. Brown was fined $25 in Police Court last week after being arrested at Fourteenth and F streets on charges of distributing pamphlets. Police said the pamphlets advocated communism.

SIX DEAD IN PLANE | FOURD I ALAS Two Women Among Crash Victims Reported at Sew- ard by Pilot Horning. By the Assoclated Press. SEWARD, Alaska, September 3.— Discovery of the bodies of six persons in Pilot Steve Mills' wrecked plane on the Kenai Peninsula was reported here today by Airplane Pilot Al Horn- ing. He took off at once with four men, saying he would return later to get additional help in carrying the bodies out of the wilderness. Mills and five passengers, including two women, apparently crashed Sun- day while on a fishing expedition to the Russian River, an hour's flight from Anchorage, but ruggedness of the terrain delayed confirmation of the tragedy. The victims, all of Anchorage, were: Mills, Mr. and Mrs. George Markle, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence David and Augustus Teik. News of the crash was withheld from the Markles’ daughter, 10, who lay in a Portland, Oreg., hospital suffering from a leg infection. The crash occurred near Skilak Lake on the Kenai Peninsula, about 60 miles from Anchorage. BABCOCK FOREGOES RE-ELECTION FIGHT Requests A. F. G. E. Delegates Officially Vote to Accept Resignation. Explaining his health would not make him a “very good risk for in- tensive activity in the immediate fu- ture,” E.

In the communication Babcock ex- pressed “no regrets” for the attack he made on the Roosevelt “spoils” method, which was published by the Republican National Committee and brought about his resignation. *“This article did the job it was in- tended to do,* Babcock wrote, “and I have no regrets. It spoke the truth and accomplished its purpose for the benefit of the Government service and the employes.” LEGION OF VALOR TOLD GOOD ARMY IS CHEAP Adequate National Defense Is Least Expensive Peace, Hines Declares.

Landon goes into the con- ference on the drought problem with the advantage of being the pioneer of the pian to in the prairie impound water in small quantities regions. The fact that he proposed s pond-building project to President Roosevelt in 1934, whic h the administration is forced to take seriously in 1936. is not at all to the dis- sdvantage of the Kansas Governor. Mr. Landon may not be the best showman in the assemblage, but his ideas have & working value that command respect far beyond the conference room. The President on his trip has made a facetious claim that rain follows his progress through the drought region. There are still some who believe that the caw of the rain-crow causes rain to fall as the crow of the roosters causes the sun " Alies Lengworth. to rise. The Hopi Indians demonstrate their faith in ratflesnakes and dances, but farmers and scientists will be°more apt to understand Gov.

Internal dissension today threatened the ranks of the Maryland and Vire ginia Milk Producers’ Association, the 1,100 members of which are divid-d on supervision of their market by an appointee of the Secretary of Agricule ture. T. Lamar Jackson, Silver Spring, Md,. dairy farmer and an association member, disclosed that many of his fellows were opposed to the action of the association directors in deciding to accept the supervision on behalf of the membership, Independent producers supplying milk to the Capital were sent ballots by the Agricultural Adjustment Ade ministration to register their approval or disapproval of the proposed mare keting agreement establishing the supervision. Association members, however, were not asked their pere sonal opinions on the question of cone trol. “I don't think the agreement was ever introduced with the idea that it should be rammed down the throats of dairy farmers,” Jackson said. “The main purpose of the association seems to be to perpetuate a bureaucracy headed by B. B. Derrick, rather than to safeguard the farmer.” Derrick is secretary of the associae tion, which last June sought from the A. A.

At the same time, Louis I. Obergh, attorney for a group of independent producers, and C. V.
