Sixty persons viewed the suspects st the “show up” Thursday afternoon. Detectives say at least 300 persons will be questioned and will see the prisoners before the case is completed.

Use Common Sense, Shun Red Tape, Roosevelt’s Rule

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER I mtfd l’rrs Staff Corrunondenl WASHINGTON. March 24Common sense is the new administration's guide in applying its far-reaching powers. / From President Roosevelt down through Hie cabinet, this rule of reason is dominant. Red tape isn't dead, but it is out of favor. Hair-splitting and technicalities are being brushed away to permit the spirit of the laws to be carried out. This especially is important now because of the great powers given the administration in the emergency legislation. These laws are passed hurriedly and defects may show later. - . Washington has seen many difficulties arise because of a blind attempt to follow the letter of a law rather than its plain intent. But President Roosveclt has set anew example and the effects are appearing all over the city. Attorney-General Cummings

removes his eye-glasses and his stern judicial countenance is warmed by a tu inkle of his eyes when the representative of a newspaper which published a fullpage beer advertisement after the new law was signed anxiously asks if this is a violation of the bone-dry anti-advertising law which hangs over until April 7. “Your publisher won't be in any great peril,” Cummings says. a a a HE is for a reasonable inteipretation of the law. The new law, he explains, permits various preparatory activities, manufacturing and preparation of equipment before April 7. Advertising intended to prepare the way for sale of beer after April 7, but not intended to provoke illicit sale before, he believes, is in keeping w’ith a reasonable interpretation of the law. Postmaster-General Farley’s department sent out orders to post-

masters to look the other way when newspapers and periodicals came through carrying beer advertising which did not promote illegal sale. They were told not to hold up such mail. a ts tt T\ATSS FRANCES PERKINS. ■*"’A secretary of labor, stands pleasantly confident in her trim little black costume, topped by a white feather in her tricorn hat before a glowering committee of senators and congressmen.. One of the representatives musters his most impressive frown and demands to know of the madame secretary whether this Sl-a-day pay proposed for the civillian conservation corps won’t lead all employers to crowd down wages generally to a dollar a day. The little lady swings a pair of bright, round, brown eyes full on the questioning congressman. “No. I don't sir, because that doesn’t make sense,” she replies.

AND she explains that manufacturers have too much sense to exterminate* consumer buying power. Another frowning congressman demands to know why the government wants to tear a man away from his family of five, which is drawing sl2 relief funds, and put him to work in the woods at a dollar a day. “He doesn't have to go.” she patiently explains. “This is for those who can and who want to go. And there may be cases in which the family w r ould be better off if the husband had a chance to go out and work instead of sitting around home brooding.” Applause from ladies in the rear row r completed demolition of the objection. So-md one objected to President Roosevelt that this reforestation corps was an attempt to subject civilians to army service. ’“We are going to administer

this plan on a common sense basis,” he said. a a a THERE must be ordinary policing. A man can t be allowed to get up in the middle of the night and blow a bugle. An enlistment period is necessary to insure that men remain on the job. But it may be stated that President Roosevelt would be the first to insist that he be released at once if he had a real job in sight or if his wife was ill or if some emergency required his presence at home. TWO GIRLS MISSING Fathers of Young Solsberry (Ind.) Misses Think They Came to City. Olive Wright. 14. and Lillian Moore, 16, both of R. R. 2.
