NAZIS OPEN DRIVE ONMEAT DEALER Dozen Butchers Jailed for Selling Above Proclaimed R Price Levels. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, October 17.—Sharp warn- ings against profiteering in food were issued by the ministry of justice to- day after five slaughter houses in the Ruhr district closed on police orders. A dozen butchers went to jail for selling meat at higher than proclaimed prices. Through a nation-wide propaganda campaign, the public was told to curb its appetite. Farmers and food deal- ers—who have been arrested and fined—were given notice distribution methods would be disciplined strictly. Appeals to citizens to discipline their eating habits stressed the kind of food rather than the amount. “With our own production we can take care of 100 per cent of our bread and flour needs” assertéd Minister of Agriculture Walther Darre, “and also 100 per cent of our potato, sugar &nd milk demand. “Of vegetables and meat, however, we produce only 90 to 94 per cent, of eggs and dairy products 80 to 85 per cent and of fats only 50 to 55 per cent.” Profiteering dealers were sharply reminded of the rights of the state. “These conscienceless individuals will be roughly handled by the state in the future,” Darre declared. Police recently began a vigorous eampaign, arresting dealers who boosted prices, butchers who “boot- legged” meats and sausages and farm- ers who fed milk to pigs instead of sending it to dairy markets. Additional emphasis was provided by the arrest of some farmers who complied with the compulsory milk delivery regulations, but complained loudly and criticized the arrangement later. Similar discipline was promised for consumers who complained too loudly against the necessity of “revising their eating habits.” HENRY WALLACE’S KIN OPPOSES NEW DEAL Unde of Agriculture Secretary Fears Political Influence of Farm Program. By the Associated Press Dan Wallace of Minnesota, an uncle of Secretary Wallace, said last night | methods of the former A. A. A. and the present soil conservation program of the administration “raise both doubt and fear” in his mind. He said ke would vote for Gov. Landon. In a radio interview with William Hard, commentator for the Republi- | can National Committee, Wallace said the spirit of the outlawed A. A. A. lives on in the current program and the New Deal purpose “is to resum controlling the output of our farm. “I do not want to see American agriculture turned into a political ma- chine dedicated to one party,” he said. “Still less do I want to see it turned into & political machine dedi- | cated to one man.” OVERCOME BY FUMES Cleaning Establishment Operator | Suffers From Fluid. Malat Barnard, operator of a clean- ing establishment at No. 1 Thomas Circle, was overcome today by fumes | from cleaning fluid in his place.

Later e was taken to his home at 3642 Eleventh street to recuperate. Barnard explained that he had failed to turn on the ventilator when he " began work.

ARRENTON, Va., October 17.—There are understand- ing nods on all sides among the blue-bloods here as the world babbles about the public ap- pearances of the King of England with the Baltimore-born Mrs. Ernest Simpson. Warrenton once worshipped at the shrine of Wallis Warfield Simpson. She was then Wallls Warfield Spencer, who had come to live here in 1926 and 1927 to get a divorce from her first husband, Lieut. E. Win- field Spencer. She had scarcely registered for & small suite at the old, red-brick War- ren-Green Hotel when word went out that the town was richer by one very fetching lady. Dinner and dance in- vitations flowed to the hotel. After all, the stranger was a Montague of Virginia, on her mother’s side, and a Warfield of Maryland, on her father’s side. And ancestral lines mean every- thing here where the horse loving gentry of the South has collected to hunt for generations. They All Liked Her, Mrs. Simpson seems to have lived up to her promise. She was here two years and even the gray-haired rock- ing-chair brigade, which can be relied upon to get out hammer and tongs, still gives Mrs. Simpson its royal approval with, “Wallis was such a dear girl.” From the bootblack at the hotel to the dowagers of Virginia estates, the first reaction to Mrs. Simpson's name is always, “She was so charming and | witty—she had personality.” But try to make them concrete. They can't put her charm into words. She had an indefinable way.of warm- ing the heart and bringing a laugh. She was witty, but she didn't tell the current funny story. She was charm- ing, but she wasn't & sugary flatterer. She had more beaus that she could wish. But one cocktail was her limit, and she liked to get home at a dis- creet hour, She was the belle of the town, She didn’t dress elaborately. She wore tailored clothes. Her formal THIRD OF A SERIES avoided flowers and jewelry. She had & medium figure, a small foot and a bright smile. She had the typical low voice of the well-bred Southerner.

She went to | | New York several times during her | fitny at Warrenton to see him, her | friends say. They begged her to bnng him down, but she refused.

BOSTON, October 17.—A reported declaration by James Roosevelt that his father, the President, intended to seek a constitutional amendment to carry out the principles of N. R, A. varied from a transcript of his re- .| marks as issued today at his down- vorce, and when she sued, she asked no alimony. She testified she had “a very small income” of between $3.000 and $4,000 from her grandmother’s estate. . She was 31 years old then, which makes her 40 now. Her marriage to Spencer took place on November 8, 1916, in Baltimore, and for five years she lived a Navy wife's life, moving from place tp place. | “We were in California in 1920 when Win set out for Florida,” she testified. ulnng Finally through letters I was ! able to show him he was acting stupid. We began to live together again in Washington in 1921. But it was very unhappy. He drank perfect terribly. He was home very little.

Among the divorce papers is a little “He refused to take me | Inote from Spencer written from a | ‘ battleship on June 15, 1924.

Simpson (Continued From Hrst7@32 opinion would not accept quite 50 | calmly & marriage between the two, with the possibility of children. 'ms would lead to endless complications, because the law of England is such |- that it is quite in the cards that chil- dren of such a marriage might be in | the direct line of succession to the throne. The royal marriage act says that no marriage of 8 member of the royal family shall be legal unless pre- viously sanctioned by the monarch. If the monarch cannot sanction his own marriage, whose can he do that to? As the old saying goes, “The King can do no wrong.” No Marriage Likely. Tt may be definitely said that such a marriage is not likely to take piace. Now the question of a foreign prin- cess arises. Some time ago Princess Ingrid of Sweden, now crown princess of Denmark, was being trotted ground, and many persons in the west end of London thought she would make & quite so engrossed in Mrs. Simpson in those days. It was the time when his friendship for Thelma Furness was waning, and people thought that, with the pressure of Queen Mary to help, Ingrid might well become Queen of England. Whatever people may say, Queen Mary has a big influence on her son, who loves her and respects her and never allows an opportunity to pass without displaying his devotion for her. ‘The King might well have agreed to marry Ingrid. Ingrid, however, wasn't being taken in quite so easily. It is said, on good authority, that, when the plan was put to her, she said she was quite willing to marry the King, who was then Prince of Wales, but, if she did, she was not going to tolerate any of his little friends about the court. In other words, she was prepared to marry David, but not to marry merely & share in him. So that match fell through. Kaiser’s Granddaughter Mentioned. Then gossip got busy with one of the granddaughters of the ex-Kaiser, whose daughter, now Duchess of Brunswick, was the fairy prinzesschen of a quarter of a century ago who stirred many an honest heart beating benenth & Prussian officer’s tunic. ‘This grandchild—she is barely 20—is pretty in an ungroomed, unmade-up sort of way, and was brought over to- England once or twice after the King ascended the throne. She is a great friend of the Jellicoe .children, the son and daughters of the late Admiral Earl Jellicoe, who led the British fleet at Jutland. She went about in London society, and there was some talk about her making friends with Mrs. Simpson, but there wasn't very much in it. She "went to the palace, too, and no doubt the King gave her the once-over, but o& unless he is attracted by oppos and no one has ever said that of match with David. David was not| | yet—he is not likely ever to fall in love with a little girl who is the very type of German backfisch. Beside the sparkling, streamlined, chromium- plated smartness of Mrs. Simpson, the little Brunswick princess would look | a mere country maid. Mrs. Simpson | } would have nothing to fear from such | | the King. There has been some talk of a ro- mance between the little princess and young Earl Jellicoe, but he is too young to think of marriage. He is little more than 18. . It is a safe guess to say that things at Buckingham Palace and 16 Cum- berland terrace—Mrs. Simpson's new residence—are going to continue as they are.

Representative Merritt, in Olen, | N. Y, said he was going to check | into the report, adding his secretary might have “seen some available stuff and picked it up to send out under my frank just as we send out farm books and other matter.” There was no comment last night from the other Democrats men- tioned, or from Snell. The cards being sent out from the Senate Office Building bore quota- tions attributed to Gov. Alf M. Lan- don, Republican presidential nom- inee, and some were addressed to “box holder, local.” This, it was ex- plained, would permit postmasters to place the cards in every private mail box and deliver them also on rural mail routes. The cards bore notations that they ‘were “not printed at Government ex- pense” and described their messages as excerpts from the Congressional Record, which permits their being franked. MERRITT DENIES KNOWLEDGE. Secretary May Be Responsible for Cards, He Declares. OLEAN, N. Y., October 17 (#).— Representative Matthew J. Merritt of New York said here last night he knew nothing about a large mailing of campaign literature which was under way-today in Washington. Merritt was ohe of several members Congress whose signatures appea] on cards in a manner which them en‘lblg for del.lvu'y under the free mailing pri “I don't know what 1t's all aboyt,” he said. He expressed curiosity to know what the cards said, adding that he thought it possible his secretary might have “seen some available stuff and picked it up to send out under my frank just as we send out farm books and other matter.” He said he intended {q.make in- quiry to find out what Wflh said. a child, even if she were to marry | Hoover (Continued From First Page.) with a double set Mr. Hoover said: “If an income taxpayer or any cor- | poration kept books like this admin- | istration—that is, if they showed similar morals in juggling their ac- counts, they would be-put in jail.” He charged that the Roosevelt ad- | | ministration had resorted to trick bookkeeping and “intellectual dishon- | | esty” to conceal budget deficits which | make new taxes “as inevitable as| night.” “In the Pittsburgh speech two weeks ago the President develops the idea of a base ball scoreboard and sets certain figures upon ‘it for the fans to look at,” he said. “For in- stance, he said that the last Repub- lican administration had increased the national debt by over $3,000,000,~ 000. He admitted that he had al- ready increased it by $13,000,000,000. But he claims a deduction of $6,500,- {000,000 from his increase because of the bonus and for recoverable loans. Any umpire would call that state- ment out on ‘three strikes, of which one was a foul. “Strike one—he deducts the pres- ent. recoverable loans from his debt. But he misses the opportunity to be intellectually honest and likewise de- duct from the last Republican ad- ministration - over $2,000,000,000 of recoverable loans. * * * Second, no publication of the United States Gov- ernment warrants Mr. Roosevelt’s valuation of $5,000,000,000 on recov- erable assets, * * * The third strike is that the debt for veterans was not paid off.” “Unmoral Scoreboard.” Mr. Hoover declared, “If such an unmoral scoreboard had been put be- fore any base ball game in the coun- try the manager would be driven off the field.” Asserting “the New Deal quickly in- troduced an entirely new system of double bookkeeping,” Mr. Hoover said, “‘emergency’ or ‘recovery and relief’ expenditures on one side were sepa- rated from ‘general,’ or ‘ordinary’ or ‘routine’ expenditures on the other. “Such double bookkeeping never has been used for honest purposes by governments. Its very motive is in- tellectual dishonesty. That is per- nicious deceit,” Through such “juggling,” Mr. Hoover stated, “the Republican reg: ular expenditures are juggled up and the New Deal regular expenditures ‘are juggled down. And presto! The New Deal regular expenditures for the first full New Deal year of 1934 are a billion less than the Republican.” He said, ‘“The recovery from this of books, “It was just a matter of incom- | Spencer was a handsome | town office. Answering a question from the floor at a Democratic rally in Gardner last night, young Roosevelt was reported to have said: " “The President intends to continue the principles of the N. R. A. by going before the people snd seeking an amendment to the Constitution to make the principles of the N, R. A. the law of the land.” At Roosevelt's office this morning the following statement was issued as being a stenographic transcript of the remarks of the President’s son: “The answer to the second part of the question (regarding recovery) is the necessity for shorter hours and better working conditions to elim- inate the unemployed. These are the purposes of the N. R. A. The admin- istration is. pledged to attempt to carry out the purposes of the N. R. A. in every constitutional manner. “Should there be no way in which this can be accomplished, which we do not admit, I, as an individual, see no alternative but to ask the people for the right to make those purposes constitutional,” Young Roosevelt's office declined to say where he could be reached. INTEIES-I‘ STIRRED HERE. Statement Is Attributed to Roosevelt’s Son in Query. By the Assoclatec Press. A dispatch from Massachusetts de- claring James Roosevelt had said his father, President Roosevelt, intends to seek a constitutional amendment per- petuating N. R. A.'s principles stirred | interest today. The younger Roosevelt, after ad- dressing a Democratic rally at Gardner, Mass,, last night answered some ques- tions from the floor. The Worcester | Telegram quoted him as saying in| response to one query: “If the N. R. A. had not been knocked out, we would not have had as much unemployment. The way to | correct this is to shorten the hours of labor. Will Seek Amendment. “In order to accomplish this, the | President intends to continue the principles of the N. R. A. by going | before the people and seeking an | | amendment to the Constitution to | make the principles of N. R. A. the law of the land.” | The capital waited with interest today to see whether this pronounce- ment reflected the official views of President Roosevelt. There has been no announcement from the latter that | the New Deal has made up its mind | to press for a constitutional amend- ment, though he has made plain on several occasions that he considers the | invalidation of the codes by the Su- | | preme Court detrimental to economic | progress. For some time after N. R. A. and other New Deal legislation was wiped | out by the high tribunal there Wwas speculation as to whether the ad- ministration would seek to amend the Constitution. Amendment Not in Platform, ‘When the Democratic 1936 platform was made public at Philadelphia it was found to contain no outright, unqualified call for an amendment. It said the Democrats would seek to handle such problems as minimum | wages, maximum hours, child labor | and monopolistic and unfair business | | practices “through legislation withia | the Constitution.” “If these problems cannot be effec- tively solved by legislation within the Constitution, we shall seek such clarifying amendments as will assure | i to the Legislatures of the several States | and the Congress of the United States, each within its proper jurisdiction, ths | power to enact those laws which the | State and Federal Legislatures, within llh?lr respective spheres, shall find | necessary in order adequately to reg- ulate commerce, protect public health and safety and safeguard economic security,” the platform said. Constitution Role Not Major. The Constitution has not played such & major role in the campaign to date as some observers predicted, though both nominees have referred |to it. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Roose~ velt said charges that the New Deal seeks to overthrow American institu- tions come from “economic royalists” trying to preserve their power by “hiding behind the flag and Con- stitution.” This week, Gov. Landon challenged Mr. Roosevelt to say immediately “what amendments he has in mind. The Governor said the fundamental issue is whether Mr. Roosevelt “in- tends to change the form of our Gov- ernment—whether labor, agriculture and business are to be directed and managed by Government, directed and managed by politics.” K.

RICHMOND, October 17.—Passage of an anti-liquor advertising law and stricter regulations for the liquor trafe fic in Virginia are advocated in the temperance report presented to the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. ‘The report charged the alcoholis beverage control system with laxity in not ‘“promoting temperance,” and urged tightened regulations for le censees and the employment of State liquor profits for education against the use of alcohol. A committee was named in the ree port to initiate “plans for an organi= zation to carry forward a definite tem= perance program.” ‘The report said it believed “the time is ripe for aggressive local-option elee= tions in many sections of our State.’” Plans were laid to get the confere ence's anti-liquor organization funce tioning before the next session of the State Legislature. Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon of Chare lotte, N. C., commenting on the teme perance report, said “if any friends of the late Democratic party, now the New Deal party, have any idea that the people who love righteousness are going to let the use of intoxicants alone they will have to reconsider.” Centering his attack on the Demo= crats, Bishop Mouzon said: “They have explained why they have not kept their campaign promises. But there is one campaign promise they kept—the repeal of the eighteenth amendment ¢ * ¢ they never boast of having kept their promise with reference to repeal” because “they are ashamed of it.” ~All Sizes of Marquette Tents for Rent Call Wisc. 4822 All States Dining Service 514 19th St. N.W, Between E and F SMITH MANAGEMENT Houses W ANTED For Sale or Rent—Furnished or Unfurnished n s it with us.
