rEFFORTS TO FIND
JOBS RAISE NEW
HOPES IN NATION
By Byron PPrloe
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington)
. With respect to the main objec
lives of the recovery program to
get men and money back to work
the present efforts of the adminis
tration are Impressive.
' Whether these efforts will succeed
. fully remains a matter of debate, but
unquestionably hope is rising In
Washington,
Summer dullness is expected, aa a
matter of course. The normal fall
upturn Is looked forward to, how
ever, as encompassing, large possi
bilities. Chasing Idle Money
The task, of getting idle money out
of hiding, into the channels of trade,
has proved the moat stubborn of the
recovery problems.
Mr, Hoover sought to master it
through various credit agencies, Mr.
Roosevelt has Intensified that effort,
and congress now has added the lev
erage of strongly persuasive legisla
tion, , (
Under tho credit expansion act, the
government has gone Into partner
ship with the reserve banks in lend
ing. A little-mentioned clause In the
tax revision act puts a penalty on
Idle corporation surpluses. The hous
ing act, by insuring loans for home
Improvement, seeks to allay the fears ;
. of bankers.
f Through these and other means,
the administration Is "turning on
the heat" in a manner unequalled at
any previous stage of the depression.
If the excess reserves of the federal
reserve system now running well j
above a billion and a half do not;
)a. shrink before fall, It will be because !
Washington is unable either to coax J
or force them down. i
The housing program will be the
main reliance of the reemployment
drive.

Chapter 25
OUTBURST
HARPER'S reply was as bland as
any Oriental's evasion. "We're
not quite ready for that, Mr. bu
fresne. The dead man has not yet
boen Identified, for one thing. There
are some points to be cleared up "
. The detective left It thus vaRiiely.
"points to be cleared up." Lafferty.
lurking Id the background, grinned
to himself at the phrase.
Dufresne rose, frowning, and
crossed to tho hearth. He dropped
his cigarette among the ashes. "It
seems a pretty clearcut case to me,"
he grumbled, then added, with a
sudden ferocity that was startling.
"That fellow, whoever he Is, got
Just what he deserved. Why should
any fuss be made over It? If bis
body were thrown Into the bay and
left to float nut to sea with the rest
of the harbor scum, It would be
burial enough."
Harper listened to this bitter out
pouring with lifted brows. "Per
haps," he said quietly. "We are not
concerned with him alone. One of
our own men lost bis life through
this ouslnesB. That certainly gives
(is a direct and personal stake." '
"I've sent for Director Connors,"
Dufresne announced, abruptly. "He
promised to come ' up here some
time this morning and 1 shall cer
tainly place my views before him.
It's too much. After all, the thing Is
done, the evidence is very plain."
"Mr. Dufresne, this Is a murder
case and 1 warn you that It Is not
possible to have the necessary In
vestigations turned on and off like
a water spigot, no matter how much
Inconvenience may bo involved."
"Now, now, Harper, don't nourish
any antagonistic feelings. 1 mean
no personal disparagement, but
what more Is there to Investigate?"
"There are quite a few unan
swered questions," the detective re
torted. DUFRESNE smiled in a Biipcrlor
way. "Yea, and so far as 1 can
see they are likely to remain un
answered. The man Is dead, his
menace is ended. 1 am completely
satisfied. All 1 ask now Is that peace
and quiet be restored to my home
so that Mrs. Dufresne may recover
from her shock and Injury. 1 am
sorry about the policeman, llamlll.
If he leaves a family In need, I'll
be glad to do what I can for them."
Harper stood up straight. "We
have no latitude in such matters,
Mr. Dufresne. The Investigation
must be carried out in the pre
scribed manner. Director Connors
could order my removal from the
case but the work would go on un
der other hands. I can assure you
of that."
Dufresne looked at him. much nn
noyed, then nodded curtly and
stalked out of the room.
"Nasty little bantam when the
game doesn't go entirely his way."
Lafferty commented. "But we can
change his tune quick enough. Next
thing he'll be trying to buy us off."
"Bribery Is not In his line but
be'U bring pressure to bear and he
won't let any grass grow under bf
feet. He doesn't know how much
we've turned up. do he'll use his in
fluence with Connors to force our
hands. We'll bare to go to bat with
mon that nobody batted an eye when
James A. Moffett, the new housing
administrator, predicted the program
eventually would put 5.000.000 men
to work.
Mr. Moffett la rated as an experi
enced business executive, not a
dreamer. Presuming he la serious
about his statistics, the housing ven
ture must take. rank at once as one
of the most ambitious of the recov
ery program.
Even General Johnson's outside fig
ure for possible reemployment under
NRA did not greatly exceed 6.000.
000. PWA never got anywhere near
that total In its predictions.
Tho latest American Federation of
Labor figures put the aggregate of
Industrial unemployment in May at
10,267,000. Everyone recognizes that
even in normal times 6,000,00 or so
are unemployed either from choice or
chronic causes "disemployed," some
economists call them.
So it would seem that what Mr.
Moffett aspires to Is nothing less
than absorbing completely the re
maining employable unemployed. It
Is a fascinating forecast, worth
watching.
Two Big Worries
While Washington doubles the
pressure for "reemployment of men
and dollars, two worries are never out
of mind.
One Is agricultural unrest, to which
will be applied the remedy of even
greater spending during the summer
and fall.
The other is the constantly recur
ring threat of large-scale labor
trouble. The new labor board Is in
tended to provide the safety valve for
that. The endeavors of no other re
covery agency will be watched more
prayerfully by Washington.
BETHENE MILLER
TO RETURN SOON
UNION Miss Bethene Miller,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Miller.
Is expected home soon from England
where she has been studying the past
two years. Miss Miller, who formerly
was connected with the Cornish
school at Seattle, was granted a
fellowship on which she has been
doing some graduate work in Lon
don. our discoveries but I'll hold buck as
much as I can."
"I'm curious to hear how he's go
ing to wiggle out of that denial about
the revolver."
"1 was surprised." Harper ad
mitted. "Ills best movo would have
been to acknowledge ownership of
the gun and then act surprised when
It Is found to he missing."
Lafferty yawned. "I'd like a little
more action. This house Is as quiet
as a museum. I'd like to catch that
Andrews fellow listening at a key
hole or have a good run-in with Don
aghy. .What's next on the cards?"
rjARPER consulted his list of
memoranda. "Call up Headquar
ters and tell them to send up a
plnlnclothcsman. We'll send him off
on a round of the thcutrlcal outfit
ters and custumer to see If be can
Qnd where that disguise was bought.
"Then gel hold ot the reporters'
and announce that we want the co
operation or all garages In finding
the car which our man must have
used. If they run that In connec
tion with the dead man's picture It
might lead to something. Now I'm
going upstairs to have a little visit
with Mrs. Dufresne."
The detective went up to the sec
ond lloor and knocked quietly on the
bedroom door. There was an answer
ing rustle from within, then the
door opened a few Inches and a
woman In a starched white dress
and nurse's cap looked out Her
plain, severe features. Innocent of
all cosmetics, expressed annoyance.
"I'm Sergeant Harper," the detec
tive announced. ".! came up to Bee
how Mrs. Dufresne Is progressing."
"Sbo Is asleep Just now." the nurse
answered In low, precise tones.
"You are the nurse Dr. Ulrlcb sent
for Inst night?"
"Yes. My name is Hurkett."
Harper smiled and howed slight
ly. "I suppose Mrs. Dufresne is not
allowed out of bed?"
"No Indeed."
Harper noticed Miss Burkett'B
weary eyes and tired look. "1 guess
you could do with some sleep your
self," he said, kindly. "You've been
on the Job nearly twelvo hours,
haven't you?"
"The relief nurse will be here at
noon," Miss Burketl answered short
ly and turned back into the room,
closing the door quietly but firmly.
Tbey certainly have a cordial and
unanimous dislike for us In this
house, mused Harper, eyeing the
closed door. 1 suppose the great
Ulrlch has been telling her what cos
sacks we are. Well, there Is one
thing certain at least Mrs. Du
fresne didn't run off with ber hus
band's revolver. But this thought
brought up Its natural corollary
had Pierre Dufresco acted thus to
screen bis wife?
Andrews approached him as he
reached the foot of the stairs. "You
are wanted In th2 breakfast-room
sir. The gentlemen have arrived."
The detective thought there was
an undcrtono of malicious pleasure
in the butler's announcement, but
he said nothing.
Harper entered the breakfast
room' to find not only the redoubt
able James J. Concurs. Director of
Police, but also Captain Macklin. of
the Homicide Bureau, the Sergeant's
Immediate superior. Pierre Dufresne
was there also and the three men
were talking together In a very
friendly manner.
The detective saluted sharply and
the salute was returned.

TWO PAIR BUCK
ANTLERS FOUND
NORTH POWDER (Special) The
finding of two pairs of buck deer
antlers, locked In fighting position,
on Rock creek, near the Grande
Ronde river, by Claude Jewltt, sheep
tender, is mute evidence that the
combative Instinct of these wild
creaturea is stronger than the in
stinct to live. Tho antlers were
brought In this morning by W. E.
Barnett, local forest ranger, who said,
that while he had often heard of
such a find, he had never found a
pair so locked In the forests In all
the 22 years that he has been con
nected with the service.
The antlers were of four points, one
somewhat larger than the other. From
the condition of the horns, the rang
er Judged the forest battle, which
had taken place in a thicket, had
brought death to both combatants,
was staged probably two years ago.
likely during the running season of
1932. The fight had left marks on
the horns where they had been rub
bed together.
Unfortunately, one antler was
broken orf while the herder was
bringing It to camp on a pack mule.
It is said that the finding of locked
buck heads Is not uncommon, and
that a few years ago, in the Lskeview
district, one buck was still alive when
found, with his opponent dead. Pic
tures were taken, it Is claimed, and
tho llvo buck released.
