Tale of Mixed Barnes Appointment to NR A Position Goes to Wrong Gentleman With Right Initials. By Hc.ripps-H oward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—The story of two men with the same name and of a presidential appointment that went to the wrong one has just come to light. Principals in the story are Charles B. Barnes, prominent as a labor mediator and secretary of Cleveland’s regional labor board, and Charles B. Barnes, Boston attorney and financier. The middle name of the former is Brenton and of the latter, Benjamin.

When the Bituminous Coal Code Authority was set up late in November the name of Charles B. Barnes —the Cleveland Barnes—was proposed to President Roosevelt for appointment as impartial representative on the coal labor board for Division 1, South, with headquarters in Cincinnati. The appointment was duly made. But it so happened that Mr. Barnes was then in Boston, the home city of Mr. Barnes No. 2. Accordingly, when a subordinate in the National labor board office was told to notify “Mr. Charles B. Barnes in Boston” of his appointment he sent the wire to the wrong man. Mr. Barnes, middle name Ben-' jamin, wired back that he would deem it a great pleasure to accept. To make matters worse, the NRA issued a public announcement of the appointment, referring to Mr. Barnes of Boston as having had “broad and varied experience in the field” and including biographical data —his graduation from Harvard, his legal connections and business affiliations. It was some days before the error was discovered. Then came the disagreeable job of notifying the Boston Barnes that it was all a mistake. Graciously, he withdrew in favor of the Cleveland Barnes. * Just four weeks later NRA issued anew announcement of the appointment of the Cleveland Barnes, taking pains to insert his middle name, but avoiding mention of the error.

DEPRESSION HASI INCREASED TAX. SULLIVAN SAYS Return to Normal Would Cut Levy 64 Cents, Mayor Asserts. A return to normal business would give the taxpayers a reduction of 64 cents in the total rate. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan declared yesterday in an address to members of the Rotary Club. Speaking on ‘ New Problems in City Government Growing Out of j the Depression,” Mayor Sullivan de- j dared that city officials have ex-: perienced the same difficulties in j government that business men have \ encountered in their affairs. The abnormal 7 per cent delin- j quency calculated in the 1934 budget alone accounts for 22 cents in the total rate of $3.13, Mayor Sullivan said. Seven cents is accounted for by reduced miscellaneous revenues, 10 cents in a levy to wipe out the county deficit, 10 cents for poor relief costs and 5 cents in reduced personal property assessments, which, together with increased revenues from the state administration amounting to 10 cents on the local rate, would bring the total rate down to $2.49 if times were normal. The city civil budget alone has been reduced $1,528,370. the mayor explained. On the evaluation that was in effect three years ago, the civil city rate would be 91.7 cents instead of the present $1.31, he said. If losses in miscellaneous revenues growing out of the depression could be offset, the rate would be only 85 cents, he stated. ‘‘The civil works administration has brought about a greatly brightened situation,” Mayor Sullivan said. “I believe that in sixty days you % r ill see a greatly changed situation in local business. We have been able to give employment to 14,000 men through the CWA, the city is getting some real improvements and the increased pay rolls will be reflected.” Lead pencils are made of graphite and clay; the name comes from the old days when people wrote with pieces of lead.

A Real Advance in Motor Car Engineering

NEW DUAL CARBURETION AND DUAL INTAKE MANIFOLD ADD TO POWER AND ECONOMY OF THE NEW FORD V-8 FOR 1934

I LIKE a pair of lungs for this powerful motor, this new system of carburetion and intake supplies vaporized gasoline evenly to all eight cylinders. Two distinct advantages result from it: 1. More even compression of fuel, giving still greater power, faster acceleration, quicker starting and smoother performance in cold weather. 2. More complete utilization of fuel, more miles to the gallon of gasoline, with consequent economy. Crankcase dilution is reduced to a minimum, thereby conserving oil with still further economy in operation. Increased efficiency at less cost is a notable achievement. Yet it is only one of many improvements which distinguish this new and greater Ford V-8 for 1934. dear-vision Ventilation. Constant Supply of Fresh Air without Drafts or Obstruction to View As perfected in the New Ford, this system of ventilation operates efficiently at all speeds, winter or summer. In cold or stormy weather, the new adjustable window ventilators can be opened the desired amount to provide fresh air.

It Gets Old Guard Knows Performers by Greetings. Hollywood, Dec. 27. George Shook, who guards the gate at one of the studios, could shut his eyes and identify each arriving star from his or her greeting. Invariably, Shook says, actor and actress murmurs the same stock line each morning. Mary Boland, for instance, according to Shook, arrives with a rush, demanding, ‘‘Am I late?” Jack Oakie s friendly patter is, ‘’Hello neighbor.” Carole Lombard swings by with an enthusiastic, “Get your hands out of your pockets, and stick out your chest.” There is nothing high hat about Bing Crosby, says the gateman. The crooner's morning greeting is “Well, here comes your favorite howler!” APPROVAL PUT ON NEW CWA PROJECTS 78 More County Men to Be Given Jobs.
