NEW DEAL FOR PRESS AMAZES SCRIBE CORPS ■ j Nothing Like Roosevelt’s Treatment of Writers in Twenty Years. Hii Kr nxrird Xnrujiaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, March 10.—The “now deal” as it affects dissemina- j tion ol public news through the [ public press has astonished the j capital's oldest newspaper com;-1 spondents. There has been nothing like it in twenty years, according to veterans of the press corps. Friendliness and co-operation are the keynotes. When nearly two hundred correspondents crowded outside President Franklin D. Roosevelt's office for the first press conference, they were regimented inta single file as they approached the door of the circular chambers where he works. There were frowns and uplifted eyebrows ( at this goose-step formation. Once inside, they saw the reason. Sitting at his desk was Mr. Roosevelt awaiting them, and each was asked to pass by and shake his hand. They were introduced by Russell Young of the Washington Star, who has "covered” the White House for four administrations. Applauded by Scribes The President called old friends by their first names or nicknames; he had a smile for everybody. Somebody referred to the handshakeunprecedented. by the way—as the; start of "the new feel. ’ The conference lasted forty minutes the longest in years—and there was frar.l: explanation of plans and difficulties. Mr. Roosevelt immediately announced that the system of handing in formal, written advance questions to him would be discarded. and that he would try to answer impromptu queries. At the close the group applauded n.s spontaneously as if anew movie star had burst upon the screen. The capital's other most harassed! gentleman. Secretary William K. Woodin, has upset all traditions at the treasury. Andrew W. Mellon was approachable. and Ogden L. Mills was as well liked by the press as any recent treasury secretary. But Mr. Woodin. by his consideration and trust of the press, has won them immediately. Is Quite a Change He tells them everything possible under the. seal, and then asks their advice on what should be published. If it sounds good, he accepts it. One of his first acts was to promise a more comfortable press room than the dingy and stuffy basement cell they now use. Henry Morgenthau Jr., the newj chairman of the farm board, opened j his conference with the brisk an- j nouncement that "hereafter there j will be no secrets here.” And up to j now there have not been so far as I he can effect it. It’s quite a change. Warren Harding fondled his colleagues of the press, Calvin Coolideg used them, Herbert Hoover disregarded them. Franklin D. Roosevelt seems disposed to co-operate. HOLLYWOOD-BOUND LAD. 14. IS HUNTED City Boy Missing Since Feb. 19. His Mother Reports. Believed to have left home for j Hollywood, where he had been i promised a job in the movies, Herbert Jessup, 14, son of Mrs. Nona , Jessup, 60 South Rural street, has j been missing since Feb. 19, his! mother reported today.

According to his friends, Herbert had been talking for some time of running away to Hollywood. H is mother said he knows an Indianapolis boy employed at the movie studios, who promised to find him a job if he would get to Hollywood.

CITY LAW VIOLATIONS DROP DURING MARCH Figures Show 30 Ter Cent Decrease Compared With February. Who said that times and people aren't getting better? Arrests for all violations in the city during the first seven days of March were nearly 30 per cent less than in the corresponding period of February. According to figures compiled at police headquarters, there were 323 arrests in the period last month and 228 this month. Part of the drop is explainable in that an unusually high number of arrests in connection with traffic accidents in February, which were forty-three, fell to thirty in the first seven March davs.

C. O. D. Ban Hotel Is Swindled Out of $5.50 by Ruse of Trickster. “\TO C. O. D. packages accepted," is the sign displayed in downtown hotel today after a trickster worked his ruse successfully Wednesday. The hotel manager received a telephone call, supposedly from a guest—at least, the voice on the wire said it was the guest. “Say, I’m expecting a C. O. D. package this afternoon,” the voice said. “Will you accept it for me? I'll pay you when I come in.” The manager was willing. A few minu .s later a messenger boy appeared with a box and received $5.50 from the hotel. Several hours later, the guest returned to the hotel, but knew nothing rrf the telephone call, or the package. When it was opened the package was found to contain a quantity of old paper. Police traced the messenger boy. who told them th" "•'Ckage was given him by a man who called him to a downtown drug store, and waited until he returned with the money. MOORE IGNORES LAW: FILES FOR MAYORALTY Ready to Take Legal Aetion Against Skip-Election Act, He Says. Despite signing of the skip election law by Governor Paul V. McNutt, Boy ton J. Moore. Republican candidate for nomination as mayor, today had filed his declaration of candidacy. Moore said he believed legal action probably will be taken in an attempt to overthrow the law which would delay municipal primaries and elections until 1934. The candidacy declaration was filed with Henry O. Goett. city clerk. John L. Duvall, former mayor and also candidate on the G. O. P. ticket, filed his declaration several days ago. Fred Galloway, announced candidate on the Democratic ticket, is expected to file in a few days.

BANK HOLIDAY CONTINUED BY | ILLINOISJJRDER Big Chicago Institution and Its Affiliate Are Consolidated. By I nited Presg CHICAGO. March 10.—Illinois banks were closed today under another Harmonizing” proclama- ! tion of Governor Henry Herner. j The Governor said that his third proclamation was issued Thursday night because of “the action of our 1 national government of this date and also the necessity of harmonizing state action with national ac- j tion. as near as may be." Other developments in the Illinois banking situation were: 1. Combination of the First Na- ! tional bank of Chicago and its affil- | iate, the First Union Trust and Sav- 1 ings bank, a state institution. 2. Drafting of legislation to give the Governor new powers over in- ! surance affairs during the bank j holidays. 3. Return of hoarded gold to Chi- j cago federal reserve bank. 4. Price of Board of Trade seat j rises $2,000. 5. Lower meat prices. Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First National bank and its! affiliate, said the combination was | decided upon “in view of recent de- | velopments and the prospect that j banks which are members of the ! federal reserve system may enjoy j wider privileges.” The Union bank for a number of I years has not been a member of . ! the federal reserve bank, depend- i mg on its parent institution. The combination makes the First j National bank the second largest j in Chicago, with resources of approximately $700,000,000. MOVE TO QUASH CHARGE Judge Considers Motion on Part of J. C. Scanlan, W.
