JULY 7, 1933:

DICTATORSHIP IS > NEAR, INDUSTRY HEADS WARNED Recovery Act Offers Only Hope to Capital. Says Donald Richberg. By United Press NEW YORK, July 7.-Business men of America wree warned today that unless they co-operate quickly and intelligently under the industrial recovery act, a real dictatorship threatens. The warning was sounded by Donald R. Richberg, general counsel of the recovery administration, with official approval of Administrator Hugh 8. Johnson. Richberg addressed the Merchants’ Association of New York* at a luncheon meeting, and his address was broadcast nationally. “The great adventure of the recovery act lies in the effort to find a Democratic and a truly American solution of the problem that has produced dictatorships in at least three great nations since the World war,” said Richberg. ‘No Choice Presented’ “There is no choice presented to American business between intelligently planned and controlled industrial operations and a return to the gold-plated anarchy that masked as ‘rugged individualism.’ There is only the choice presented between private and public election of the directors of industry. "If the privately elected boards of directors and the privately chosen managers of industry undertake their task and fulfill their responsibility, they will end all talk of dictatorships and governmental control of business. “But if they hold back and waste these precious hours, %x they take counsel with prejudice and doubt, If they fumble their great opportunity, they suddenly may find that it has gone forever. “It is not my faith that the managers of industry should be chosen by popular ballpt. No man to my knowledge who had an active part in drafting the national recovery act, or will play an active part in its administration, is seeking the political socialization of industry. Depression Not Conquered 'But unless industry is sufficiently socialized by its private owners and managers so that great essential industries are operated under public obligations to the public Interest in them—the advance of political control over private industry Is inevitable. 'The forces of the depression have not been conquered merely by a rise in commodity prices or in the market quotations of stocks and bonds. We still have millions of men and women out of work; we are spending millions of dollars every day to keep these unemployed masses and their dependents from starvation. “In this great emergency there can be no honorable excuse for the slacker who wastes these precious moments with doubting and debate —who palsies the national purpose with legalistic arguments and appeals to prejudice.” DROPS DEAD ON TRUCK Heart Disease is Falal to Man; Son Driver of Vehicle. ' Gus Miller, 58. of 1804 Ashland avenue, died of heart disease on a truck today in the 100 block of Virginia avenue. The truck was driven by Miller’s son, Otto Miller, of the Ashland avenue address, who said his father died five minutes after the attack.

Mark Wolff, Leader in Expert Called In by State Has Long Record of Successes. Who is this man Mark Wolff whom the McNutt administration has employed as ammunition maker for the battle in which lower utility rates are expeeted to be won? The answer is that “he is the guy who made the Kingfish King.” For the last nineteen years, Wolff has answered S. O. S. summons throughout the country as an expert on the people s side of the constant warfare with- public utilities that are not publicly owned. It was the cases which he built up in New Orleans and Louisiana which gave Huey Long the springboard for his leap from the state public service commission to the governorship and finally into the United States senate. Employed by Seven States During these years. Wolff, who now has offices in both New York and Chicago, has been employed by seven state commissions and some 200 cities in sixteen states. Last year the scope of his activities took on an international aspect, when he went into Canada to fight for lower rates in Quebec in the Montreal Water and Power case. Throughout his career, his percentage of victories has been far in excess of failures and during the last three years the record of success has been nearly perfect. Now he has come to Indiana, upon invitation of Sherman Minton, public counselor, and with the hearty approval of .Governor Paul V. McNutt. Case Based on Findings Upon Wolff ’s findings Minton filed the rate reduction case against the Public Service Company of Indiana. Date of hearing the case is expected to be set by the public service commission today. Other large former Insult properties are to be next and then the Indiana Bell Telephone company will be tackled, it was reported. Wolff expressed great confidence in the possibility of getting lower rates throughout the state. “I go into a case when 1 see that I can win.” he said. The fact that the Bell company is owned by the vast American Telephone and Telegraph Company does not matter to him at all, he asserted. He won a string of victories against the Southern Bell, under the same ownership. “I beat them before and I can do it again,” he asserted. Wolff is being paid from state funds at the rate of $65 a day for himself and his staff at the rate of $35 and $25 a day, depending upon the nature of the work. He gathers the date for rate cases from the companies’ own reports to the commission and from their books. Governor McNutt said Wolff has been able to do in two weeks what it formerly has taken commission engineers and accounting staff months to accomplish. HELD TO GRAND JURY Alleged Counterfeiter Is Bound Over on $3,000 Bond. Charged with manufacturing counterfeit half-dollars, Leo Snyder, 39. who told secret service operatives he lived in the “1400 block on Terrace avenue,” was bound to the Federal grand jury today under $3,000 bond when arraigned before United States Commissioner Howard S. Young, on counterfeiting charges. Snyder was arrested when police raided a house at 5012 West Washington street, Feb. 15, where they found molds for manufacturing counterfeit 50-cent pieces concealed under a mattress. He has been in custody since February. POLISHES 671.000 SHOES Station Porter Averages About 67,000 Pairs Each Year. By United Preen PORTLAND, Me., July 7.—Moses Green.

HYBRID CALF SIRED BY BULL ANTELOPE Offspring of Domestic Cow Produced on African Farm. B.y Science Service LONDON, July 7.—A hybrid calf, sired by an eland bull and born of a domestic cow, has been produced on the farm of an Englishman in interior South Africa. The eland is one of the larger antelopes, reaching the size of domestic cattle or even larger. . The calf is said to be intermediate in its characteristics between, its two parents. Whether it will prove capable of reproduction it is, of couse, too ealy to detemine. It is conjectured, however, that it will prove sterile, after the manner of mules. When the first eland was brought to a European zoo, over a hundred years ago, it was propased to hybridize it with cattle for the improvemetn of the meat, for antelope meat is especially tendre and tasty. But the most famous zoologist of the time, Geoffroy St. Hilaire, declared the project to be impossible and the attempt actually was, never made.

‘NEW DEAL’ WORKERS PUT IN LONG' HOURS Duties of U. S. Executives Keep Them Late at Desks. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 7.—Many people have the idea that government workers get to their desks around 9 a. m„ take off an hour for lunch and quit exactly at 4:30 p. m. versity, is an example. He is general counsel of the agricultural adjustment administration. During a hurried lunch, Frank remarked that he and most of the rest of the agricultural administration people had worked past midnight for Many of them do, but the executives carrying out the new deal certainly do not. Jerome N. Frank, practicing attorney in Chicago and New York and a research expert at Yale unidays. But one day he had an errand outside the building, and he happened to leave just at 4:30. “I saw all tftose people walking toward Pennsylvania avenue. I thought it was a parade. But, suddenly, I remembered that it was 4:30 and these were government clerks going home. I hadn’t seen them before.’’ GENERAL IS ‘FAN-TOTER’ Mexican Army Officer “Arms” Himself Against Hot Weather.

FAMED MEXICAN JEWELS DRAW THRONGAT FAIR Treasure Taken From Tomb of Ancient Princes Is in Special Car. BY DR. FRANK THONE Science Service Staff Writer CHICAGO, July 7.—The splendor of Mexico's departed princes is added to the other wonders of Chicago’s Century of Progess exposition with the opening of the special treasure car containing the famous Monte Alban jewels. The treasure, one of the most outstanding archaeological finds of the world, has been permitted to come to the United States by special act of the Mexican government. Thousands of persons have been inquiring for the Mexican presidential train, of which the treasure car is a part, and as soon as it was opened they thronged through its aisle marvelling at the beautiful and intricate prehistoric Mexican workmanship, expressed in gold, jade, turquoise, coral, pearls and red shell. The many scores of pieces are displayed in twenty-one large glass Tases. Wearers of High Position Accompanying the exhibit is Dr. Alfonso Caso, explorer of the famous tomb in Oaxaca, where this treasure was found associated with the skeletons of nine Indians of an unknown nation. Only the richness and superb workmanship of the jewels certifies to the high position of their wearers in church and state of ancient Mexico. With Dr. Caso are Senora Caso and Senor Daniel de la Borbolla. The latter, fluent in English and well acquainted with American ways, is Dr. Caso's “contact” with the American public, since Dr. Caso speaks little English and has not been in this country before, although he has travelled in Europe. Another valued member of the party is Martin Bazin, a native of the high Mixteca. Broad-shoul-dered, rather short, lithe and silent in his movements, he is the jewels’ watchdog. The guards in and around the car, and the detectives who doubtless mingle with the crowd, would stem to be superfluous when he is around. Vali.e Is in Beauty The value of the Monte Alban treasure is a paradox. It simply has no price, from the artistic and archaeological points of view. Yet if a gang of thieves should conceivably break through all the safeguards with which the car has been surrounded since it left Mexico City and steal the entire lot, they would find that they had but small reward for their pains. All the gold used in all the ornaments sums 'up to an estimated weight of but eight pounds. Some of the pearls are large—one weighs twenty-three carats —but they all are pierced, and so of no value for modem jewelry. The real value of the jewels is in their beauty and their mysterious antiquity.

PERIL FOLLOWS FILM ACTRESS AROUND WORLD Fragile 18-Year-old Girl Has Seen Many Kinds of Dangers. By l nited Press HOLLYWOOD. July 7.—Theres an element of absurdity in classing Heather Angel as a participant in wild adventures. Fragile as a rose petal, calm as a lull, she can look back upon (he last four of her 18 years and realize * she has lived in a mad whirl that she wouldn’t have missed for anything. This diminutive actress, catapulted to fame in the year's choice acting plum opposite Leslie Howard in “Berkeley Square.” never has faced hungry lions but she came close to it. In China, while touring with an English stock company, Heather was molested by mutinous mobs, and in Simla. India, she was forced off the stage when a horde of wild monekys danced on the theater’s tin roof and then stoned her. Heather did not accept this as a criticism of her work. Heather was caught in a maelstrom of rioting Indians in Lahore. They tossed bombs and threatened her and other whites. In Calcutta, Ceylon and Karachi, she was stranded and broke with other players. She has played throughout the Orient, in barns, barracks, sheds and war-time hangars. Once, at an air force camp. Heather acted in a shed built of discarded airplane wings, with an improvised stage of tables that buckled, split and finally collapsed. Despite these experiences, the blithe Heather makes no pretense of being a worldly woman. She still thinks her life while on tour was. in the main, dull—an inkling of how modest an actress can be if she puts her mind to it. 78-DEGREE HEaT WAVE Colorado Residents Complain While East Really Swelters.
