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.

When tha Civilian Conservation
corps terminates in March, 1935, as
la mandatory under the present legis
lation, a substitute measure wilt be
recommended for enactment In order
to continue the movement on a re
vised basis, Robert H. Fechner, di
rector of the CCC, told 350 people
gathered at the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce banquet last
evening In the Hotel Medford.
It was a royal reception that Med
ford gave Mr. Fechner and Arno B
Cammerer, director of national parks,
buildings and reservations, who met
here yesterday on a tour of the parks
and camps In this section, and both
men were loud In their praise of the
wonderful welcome and hospitality
shown by the Medford people.
Interest Evident,
Enthusiasm and Interest were evi
dent as the two men brought brief
but vitally interesting messages.
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. The selection of the great
army or men was left to the depart
ment of labor.
Got Co-operation.
"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. ,

they are taking in t.ielr work. It

KIDNAPING SCARE
IN SUBURB HERE
Little Girl Walking With
Maid in Heights District
Believed Intended Victim
Cops Hunt Green Car
There was a kidnap scare In the
Siskiyou Heights district the first of
the veek, and the authorities. It was
disclosed today, are looking for a
green sedan and two men who en
gaged In 4bme suspicious maneuver
ing, and questioning of a four-year-old
girl, a member of a well-known
family residing In the suburban dis
trict. fha little girl snd a maid went for
a walk, and the tot was racing about,
after the manner of children, when
the green sedan stopped and one of
the occupants started talking to the
little girl. The maid then appeared,
and started for home. On the way,
the little girl was again questioned
by the men. By this time the maid
became slightly frightened and hur
ried away with the little miss. When
near home, the green sedan again
speared and the questioning of the
child was resumed.
The maid then rushed Into a near
by home snd asked the lady of the
house to watch the little girl while
she hurried to advise relatives of the
happenings. The lady of the house
came out and asked the pair what
they wanted, and was Informed they
were Inquiring the way to "route 4."
In the meantime, kin of the child
came from the rear, secured the num
ber of the auto, and took the little
girl home.
The number was phoned to the
authorities, who rushed to the scene
but found no trace of the green
sedan. A search since has also been
unavailing..
A check of the license number
showed It was an auto sought for
questioning of Its occupants by Klam
ath county authorities.
The pair might not have meant any
ill, but authorities figure that their
actions were unusual, as was asking
road directions of a four-year-old,
with older folk at hand.

TRIO DIE IN CHAIR
PETTY RACKETEER
By DALE HARRISON
' OSSININO. 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."

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. Aug. 10. &) Babe Ruth,

This he told a newspaper man as
ha lounged in hla hotel room before
today's game against tha Red Sox.
"I really don't know what the fu
ture holds for me; time alone will

to remain In the game as a manager
