60- ORDINATION IS POINTED OUT

Convention of Employment Services Is to Close Here Today

W. Prank Persons, director of the United States Employment Service, today urged that the administration of unemployment insurance and public employment services be unifled under a single head. Mr. Persons spoke from the floor at a discussion group of the International Association of Public Employment Services, which is to close its three-day sessions in the Claypool this afternoon. Mr. Pe Iso recommended that workers not coming under the benefits of the jobless compensation laws be protected. Roy 8. Stockton, director of the California Employment Service, said that public employment services should direct their efforts toward meeting requirem¥nts of industries in their communities. His service supplies many extras for the movie industry.

Reports to Be Read

This afternoon, Stanley Mathewson, Cincinnati Employment Bureau manager, is to speak on the “Cincinnati Employment Center,” and Alfred Crowe, superintendent of the Provincial Free Employment Bureau of Quebec, is to talk on “Private Employment Bureaus’ in Quebec.” “The success or failure of the program of employment compensation will depend largely upon how John Smith, who comes to the benefit payment desk of a public . employment office, is treated,” R. ‘Gordon Wagenet, director of the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation of the Social Security Board, told delegates’ at the convention banquet last night in the Claypool Hotel. Holds Speed Essential “John Smith,” he said, “will want his bénefits promptly and his right to benefit and the duration and amounts of his benefit must be quickly and accurately computed by ~ the administrative office. At the same time every opportunity must be sought to find suitable work for him.” “The duties of paying unemployment benefits must not,” Mr. Wagenet emphasized, “hinder the employment office and displace ‘the primary task of placing John Smith in a new job.”

Bruce Airey, Alabama, fourth vice president; George D. Bryant, Missouri, re-elected’ secretary and N. J. Howlett, Illinois, treasurer.

RACE POLICE GET CARS

35 De Sotos Loaned to Force by Local Dealers.

Jones & Maley, Inc. 2421 E. Washington-st, has furnished the special Speedway police force under command of Maj. William P. Cars

penter with 36 new De Soto cars for

use on race day. It takes an army of 1200 men .to handle the 900 guard posts. The force includes National Guard and regular Army soldiers, Naval Reserves, deputy sheriffs, city police and firemen.

If police department. record clerks kept play-by-play accounts, they probably would mark this one: One run, cne hit, one error. ’ The error was on Ian Blair, ° Santa Monica, Cal., who failed to tie a suit case to his car properly. As his automobile crossed East and Washingtonsts yesterday afternoon the grip fell off. An unidentified old man, who looked something like Trader Horn, made the run. He picked up the grip and boarded an E. Michigan street

car. Seeing his duty, Traffic Officer Charles Winkler commandeered a passing taxi and started in pursuit. The taxi was in collision with another automobile at Noble and New York-sts. That was the hit. No one was injured. But the old gentleman was in for a surprise. When he arrived home he found the grip contained $75 worth of women’s clothing.

Conclusion Drawn From Speech in Which He Attacks G. 0. P.

state lines but private corporate interests may fix prices throughout the entire country regardless of state lines?” Only a thread tied Senator Borah to his party when he completed his speech last night. This was the condition, read between the lines, that he could stand by it only if the old leadership, Charles O. Hilles, Henry Roraback, Walter Brown, Ed Schorr and the like, is driven from power and the party divorces itself from the interests they represent.

Landon Referénce Seen

Senator Borah knows this is not going to happen in Cleveland. “What the party does under present conditions, therefore, I must regard as final,” he said. That leaves him only the door out. As he indicated beforehand, he did not make a direct attack on Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas, but an inferantial attack was read into his statement, that oil interests would be represented at Cleveland and that it would, be interesting to see toward which candidate they

would go.

Senator Borah now accepts the nomination of the Kansan as virtually inevitable. He regards him as the candidate of the Old Guard machine, or at least highly accepta-

ble to the G. O. P. oligarchy, and |

therefore as not acceptable to him. May Address Convention The party’s stand .on public ques~

tions, he. said, can not be..deter-}. mined, or even fully defined, ®y the |

platform alone, as in this campaign the candidates themselves will be the platform.

There was a forlorn tone of lost |

hopes about his own candidacy. That, he said, always was secondary with him. .

ATTERIES and racing cars—they have much in common. Both must have what it takes to get away to a sure, quick start. But most important is their ENDURANCE— their built-in quality and reserve strength that alone ensures unfailing performance throughout the long, hard grind.

HOMES NEEDED BYU. S., CLAIM

Texan Sees Taxes, High

Building Costs as Chief Obstacles.

America needs one million new homes, but their construction at best will require two years because of a skilled labor shortage, Hugh Polter, Houston, Tex., declared to-

Mr. Potter, 1934 president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, spoke to members attending the concluding session of the Great Lakes Regional convention at the Lincoln. TRe chief obstacles to an immediate building boom, he said, are mounting taxes and construction costs, plus government participation in building.

Others Are Heard

Others who adressed the realtors this morning included George Danzinger, New Orleans’ Real Estate Exchange president; Joseph R. Ross, Louisville Herald-Post classified advertising manager; Holman Chicago Title and Trust Co. president, and Benjamin F. Bills, Chicago. Notwithstanding a gradual advance in real property prices which he described as “inevitable,” Mr.

_| Potter advised his hearers to draw

a line between the desire for home ownership and house purchasing for speculative purposes. A home, like an automobile or a refrigerator, he said, is consumed by time and use. After such use it can not be expected to sell for a profit.

. Farm Recovery Noted

The rapid recovery of farm land values, shown to be particulariy impressive in Indiana and Missouri, was the theme last night of an optimistic talk by William D. Davis, Kansas City. “There is profit in farm lands,” Mr. Davis said. “The entire pic-

ture of farm opmership as it relates to the possibility of an increase-in land values becomes more favorable daily.” As vice president of the association brokers’ division of farm lands institute, he told of the marked improvement in rural land values for both states, especially Indiana, because it escaped the 1935 drought.

Hoosier Values Increasing

Taking 97 as an index figure for 1912, he said that in Indiana the figure had risen to 161 by 1920, fallen to a low of 53 in 1933, and by 1934 had gone up again to 56. The increase for 1935, he estimated, would be even more marked. “There are several reasons why farm land prices should continue to go up,” Mr. Davis added. “Farm income is increasing, farmers thcnselves are beginning to buy land and a reasonable portion of our export market is returning. The reciprocal trade agreements are evidence of considerable improvement

along this line.” ,

BLACK LEGION DETROIT CHIEF

Michigan Authorities’ Hunt Directed Toward Men ‘Higher Up.’

(Continued from Page One)

the genuine “father” of the anti semitic anti-Catholic, anti-Negro, anti-Commiunist Black Legion. No one, naturally, believes the Adams nonsense. It was the Bellaire medico who first garbed Klansmen in black robes. That was 11 years ago, in the Klan's heyday. For this deviae tion, Shepard lost his cyclopship.

Regarded as ‘Fronts’

The authorities, studying the pere sonalitiess and records of the Ohioan, cynically doubt that either has the force to mobilize the secret, blood-oath-bound Black Legion which grew to be a political power

in small Michigan cities before the murder of Charles A. Poole, WPA worker brought it into the light. The search is for men of harder steel, greater shrewdness and superior organizational skill. Shepard and Effinger are regarded today as minor. “fronts” for the Black Legion. Meanwhile, Prosecutor McCrea assured me that stories of Black Legion terrorism has not been exaggerated. “I would surprise you,” he said, “to know the number of fine, clean=cut men who are in fear of their lives. They joined the Black Legion unwittingly and only when they took the horrible oath did they ~ realize how monstrous it was. Afraid of their lives and property, they kept “still, but now they are willing to talk.” The Black Legion’s dupes have a chance now to tell it to Judge Che=nott under the grand jury seal. That inquiry may divulge the identities of men powerful enough to create®y the Black Legion.
