More Than $200,000 Annually Paid Out for Attorney’s by New Board. (Bpreial to ‘Worid.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5— When “Hell and Maria” Dawes, Direc- tor of the Budget, was informed a few days ago of the estimate of $30,000,000 that would be required for the Ship- ping Board forthe new year he is said to have established a new record for colorful “cuss” words. When he reads the testimony of Chairman Lasker given in executive session before the House Appropriations Committee a few days ago, and now made public, he is likely to invent some new ex- pletives. The fear of Dawes that the Ship- ping Board will absorb ull the money that can be saved by retrenchment in other departments, through the budg- et system, seems to be justified, pro= | vided Congress will authorize it, Lasker told the Appropriations | Committee he required $30,000,000. | ‘The committee was appalled by these | tigures and it has been decided to cut the estimate $45,000,000.

Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Andre ‘Tridon, psychoanalyst and author of “Psychoanalysis and Be- havior” and other books on the newest and most fashionable science, is used to answering questions. All sorts of tired, nervous, unhappy men and women ask him why the “wheels go round” in their heads, for his pro- feaston is that of explaining to you the psychological reasons for your bad @reams—or your bad behavior.

RIFT IN ‘The prospect that all the Repubit- can organizations in the various boroughs will be on record as unani- mously endorsing the Curran-Look- wood-Gilroy ticket before the end of the week tended to diminish the en- thusiasm of the supporters of Judge Reuben L. Haskell, Aldermanic Presi- dent F. H, La Guardia and ex-Seno- tor William M. Bennett to-day. Tt is anticipated that Mr. Bennett will an- nounce his withdrawal from the race | for the nomination. As for Judge Haskell, the records reveal that although he waa a rep-| resentative from New York City! when the Volstead Act was passed, he failed to vote against it for the rea- son that he was in New Yorf instead of in Washington. Although the en- tirs New York City delegation, with possibly two exceptions, was absent} when the Volstead Act was passed, und the vote of the New York City| delegation against it would have postponed its passage, the blot on the wet record of Judge Haskell has} had a dampening effect on his sap- porters, is anticipated that Major Curran will curry every borough. The process of solidifying the organizations by trad- ing of nominations is now under way. Tammany Hall has been told by Arthur Murphy that the Bronx will demand a place on the city ticket. The Bronx will undoubtedly be given the nominee for the office of Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen, William F, Schneider, County Clerk, appears to have been defeated in bis effort to obtain the Republican en- dorsement of his candidacy; also there is opposition to his renomina- tion in Tammany Hall.
