Temperature Highest yesterday J Loneat this morning M une Br PAUL MALLON i . (Copyright. 1934, by Paul Mallon) WASHINOTON, D. 0., Aug. 10. 6lnc the new deal started the pat ronage piemen have been operating their b a p 1 e a trade only aa a sideline. If you wanted a govern ment Job, aa all good, deserving Democrats do you pulled wires with the various g o v e rnment of ficials Individu ally or collec tlvely. There was no official coun ter where you could step up Paul Mallon and ask for a slice. The feeling seemed to permeate the Dew dealers that the pie trade was a rather sordid business and should be Ignored as much as possible. That defect now has been remedied. , The pie counter la officially open. In 4 fact, It has been open for nearly a ' month now, but nothing has been aid about It. The government press Cents neglected to Issue an official announcement. However, you cannot keep good tiews down, and the word has been spread around that the place to go sow. If you want a Job, la not to the government departments, but strslght to the Democratic national committee. A lot of people must have heard the news, because the line forms on the right each day outside the office of Brother Emll. It's the seventh floor, Rational Press building. Turn to your right as you get off the elevator. You will find only a few hundred people ahead of you. If you crash Into the Inner cham ber of this political bakery you will find that Brother Emll Is Mr. Parley's rood and efficient aide, Emll Hurja. tr. Hurja Is supposed to havs been specializing In the housing commis sion huckleberry vsrlety lately. There have been some kickbacks, Indicating that everyone Mr. Hurja okayed did not receive a housing Job, but that certainly cannot be blamed en Mr. Hurja, because he Is doing nls part conscientiously and sincerely, with several assistants. As a pieman, Mr. Hurja has no peer. At his side constantly is a nttie black book. Soma of his friends call It the cookbook, but It Is more than that. In It the country Is divided Into congressional districts. The name of ach senator, representative and Democratlo leader Is listed under his local district. Beside his name is the list of federal Jobs which already have been given to him. as well as a list cf PWA projects granted for his dis trict. Accompsnylng thess vital data Is the recent Literary Digest poll for ach state, showing how popular President Roosevelt is supposed to be In these states. Also Included are the congressional and - presidential election results In 1933. Prom this, you can see. Mr. Hurja fcas the matter down to an exact sci ence. When anyone screams for pie, rt can tell him In a aecond whether -he has had enough and whether he "rates any mors. He is not delivering !e to every Tom, Dick and Harry who comes In asserting he awung Walla Walla Democratlo In the last election. Reformers may sneer at Mr. Hurja's efficiency, but good politicians will respect It. The wise boys have a growing conviction that Mr. Roose' velt hes been entirely too Impractl' cal about this whole patronage busl' ness from the start. It was all right to make appointments to the securl' ties commtsalon and such Ibfty Ideal. Istlc organization on a strictly non partisan basis, but. when It gets down to such things as housing, some sense cf political self-preservation should be shown. Also no ons Is suggesting thst Mr. Hurja Is doing anything Improper. He Is merely taking care of the hungry and the faithful, and doing It In a way which will help best at the poua. The personnel director of the houa. lng administration was removed quiet ly end suddenly a few days ago. No explanation was offered fOT his de parture. No statements were Issued. TMen to whom he had promised Jobs Just failed to get them. The whisper swept the Inner houa. lng circle, either Justly or unjustly. thst Mr. Hurls had discovered the fellow had Republican blood In his veins. No one was ever happier about being sued than the petroleum board 1s about the latest suit brought against It by the oil companies. For a long time the bosrd has been try. lng to get a good test case Into court. The members privately believe they cannot enforce the code until its con stltutlonallty Is efflrmed by the su preme court. (Continued on Pag.

A resume of the Civilian Conserva tion corps was given by Mr. Fechner, who aald that few shared the presi dent's views and convictions on the proposal at the outset. "It waa not their faith In the pro gram, but a desire to co-operate with him In the legislation he proposed that brought about the CCC," Mr. Fechner aald. "We started without anything, but the unselfish and de voted co-operation received from the army, park, forest and labor depart ment made It possible to get the CCC under way.

"When I received the appointment," the CCC director continued, "X was warned on all sides that I was under taking an Impossible task. They said It was not easy to get co-operation in Washington, but I had no such fear. This has been the happiest ex perience of my entire life. "There are 353,000 Juntors, local ex perienced men and veterans In the camps located within every state and the District of Columbia. They are making the forest lands and parks safer, more accessible and more en joyable for the tens of thousands of visitors every year." Mr. Fechner urged the people of Medford to take the first opportunity possible to drive to a camp, talk to the commanding officer, the work superintendent and the men them selves. , Render Value.

Aug. 10. Salvatore Antonio "his house was always full of dope and guns" is finally avenged. First to pay last night for his mur der was his wife, Anna. Then came the surly Sam Faraocl; and finally Vincent Saetta, deathhouse gallant, speaker of the beautiful lie. Before midnight struck they were dead electrocuted! New York had exacted Its threefold payment for a petty racketeer's murder. Mrs. Antonio. 39 years old. then al most to the point of emaciation and weighing under 00 pounds, had pray ed to the last that the "portals of mercy" which the court of last re sort had spoken of only two days sgo as her only hope, would be open ed. The governor, however, declined to Interfere. She had aald they would havs to carry her. Two guards picked her up and took a few steps. She strug gled down then, and walked the rest of the way, a bit defiantly, drawing on a reserve of nerve which doctors had said she did not have. She wore a simple, blue gingham dress. It had been out on the left side, permitting access to tha leg, which was bare, for tha electrode. The right leg was stockinged, and she wore simple black shoes. The prison chaplain stepped for ward, crucifix extended toward the mask that dropped from the head plat. He stepped back. Watches on the wrists of shaky arms among the witnesses said 10:12 p. m. At 10:10 she was dead. A reporter for a New York City newspaper slumped forward In a faint. Samuel Faraocl, 43, came next. He entered easily, but sullenly, as one who feels he Is punished for another's fault. "I'm going to the chair, all right," ha said, "but I'm Innocent. That's all I've got to say and thank you for nothing." Finally came Vincent Saetta, 23. He was cheerful. "Hello, guard," he call ed out. He mas the worst of the three, to hear him tell It, yet If Vin cent Saetta could have had hla way, he would have paid for Sslvatore An tonio's murder alone. "The woman, she had nothing to do with it. Faraccl? I don't know. It was dark. I didn't seeh him do nothing. But the woman, no, no." Mrs. Antonio persisted In her inno cence. Before she died, however, she told Warden Lewis Laves: "I did not tell those men to kill my husband for his Insurance money or 95,000. I could have killed him a dozen times. The house was always full of dope and guns. One of these men came to me and said they were going to kill my husband, and I said: i I do not care what happens to my husband. I care only for my three children.' " After the three were dead, Oovernor Herbert Lehman Issued a statement. He had studied the case most thor oughly, he said. He had hoped some thing would be found thst would give him reason to spare ner life Nothing was found. "Appeals have been made to me to grant executive clemency to Anna Antonio on account of her sex, but the law makes no distinction of sex In the punishment of crime." Pear Markets NEW YORK. Aug. 10.

' f FORCES flMINCROP CONTRt PLANS Expect Partial Abandonment in 1935 Plowing for Winter Wheat Impossible Now On Account of Dust WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. (JV) The AAA's far-reaching program of crop reduction Is expected to be abandoned In part for 1935. o An announcement to this efefct Is awaited as a result of the July report on the condition of the nation's crops. due today. The- change in plans would bo only temporary. Drouth Is tiie reason. Four factors prompt the AAA to consider lifting the acreage program for next year: 1. Short supplies wilt cut last year's carry-overs down to about normal. 3. Officials appreciate the possi bility that jwlltlcal opposition might grow If acreage reductions were con tinued in the face of lower supplies and high prices. 3. Another year of drouth In 1935, while not expected, would require use of all acres to maintain supplies at normal. 4. Damage to next year's wheat crop Is already being predicted. Some officials point out that plowing for winter wheat should be under way soon, but preparations are in: possible in the dust. Supervision of production will not be abandoned next year. The system of contracting for reductions, pos sibly bringing number of crops un der a single contract, and making benefit payments, will continue whether or not the cuts are actually executed. Two new provisions would be writ ten into 1935 contracts. If production on expanded acreage next summer threatened to run out of bounds, far mers would be required to pasture or cut for hay the crops on a percent age of their land. They also would be obligated to make reductions found necessary in 1036. BOSTON.
