HIPP I s FAMILY FRICTION ! BMnd BELIEVED CAUSE Hi quintuple crime El IDE Ml It - ' 1 jifj Paul MaJlOD By PALL MALLON (Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. A lot of new dealers, carving a turkey muttered under their breaths that they wish It were Mr. Ickes. The grinning Interior secre tary' set-to wlt:i Houaer Moffett seems to have Inspired a gen eral Inside clam or fnr hi w.'ah- bone. Of course, g Mr. Ickes Is a tough bird. He has proved that In previous en- o u n ters with those who would devour him. Never theless, he will have to be tougher tban usual this time to withstand the powerful knives now out agarmt him. For one thing, the Farley clan has suddenly recalled what Mr. Ickes d.d to It in patronage. It could and may eat Mr. Ickes raw or otherwise. Much less evident Is the relation ship between the Influential coordin ator, Mr. Richberg, and Mr. Ickta. That Is a secret which has been kepi foi years. The whole story Is even now not In printable form: Never theless. It may safely be related that while Messrs. Richberg and Ickes on:e were law partners, they now spek cr.ly when necessary With Messrs. Farley. Richberg, Muf fett and a dozen less sharp new deal ers after him, Mr. Ickes Is In for an interesting holiday season.. , . There was more behind the AIcuV fett trouble than housing, much more than the mere question whether Mr, Moffett should encourage pri vate housing or Mr. Ickes encourage public housing. Those h!gh In the interior depar tment know that Mr. Moffett's ftrji experience In government under Mr. Ickes la not now a pleasant recollec tion for either of them. Mr. Moffett left his 100,000-a-year Job with Standard Oil to be government rcp lesentative on the oil code authority. But Mr. Ickes was oil administrator,, which made Mr. Moffett rather supe fluous. At least Mr. Moffett thought sa,. They had many tussles about price fixing, with Mr. Moffett Insist ing price fixing was necessary. Once things got so bad that Mr. Moffett went to the White House. Mr. Roose velt aided with Mr. Ickes. It is not generally known, but since that time Mr. Moffett has never at tended a meeting of the oil commit tee, although he never formally re signed. He Just walked out silently end forgot to come back. There is proof that Mr. Muffett re members that. The White House did not give out the fact, but when Mof fett and Idtes were summoned on the carpet there the other day, Moffett informed Ickes with feeling: "You put me on the spot once, but you're not going to get sway with it gain." ' That remains to be seen from tn results of Mr. Moffett s dinner Thurs day with Mr. Roosevelt. At any rate, the betting is now two to one that the new deal will not prove to be big enough to hold both Mr. Ickes and Mr. Moffett. However. Mr. RoaevU has calmed w?m earlier scraps Blmmt as bad. Government lawyers played thir see in the Insull trial and are busy explaining the Chicago verdict. Ijow or the case la attributed by them primarily to one little six-letter wori intent! Just in the Doheny case they uere unable to convince a Jury of the defendant's intent to do wrong The verdict Is notrgarded okey irg Tnsuil's financing methods, but only as a finding that he did not intend to swindle anyone. The factor of time is seen as Influ encing the verdict, too. It Is fell that if the trial had been held a year ago. Insull would have be.n found guilty. That he himself x TectM thin end was indicated by his IMght to Europe. Government men comment bitterly that the Ju.-v thought Insull more innocent that) he considered himself. Roseville,' Cal., Family Iden . tifies Bodies in Pennsyl vania As Those of Elmo Noakes and Children ROSEVILLE, Calif., Nov. 30. (AP) A grief-stricken family held a con ference here today to determine who should return to Pennsylvania and claim the bodies of Elmo J. Noakes, 32, Roseville mechanic, his niece, Winifred Pierce, 18. and Noakes' three children. Norma, 12, Dewilla, 10, and Cordelia, 8. Convinced beyond a doubt that the bodies of the children, found last week on a Pennsylvania mountainside and "these of a man and young wo man found 100 miles away were the remains of their own family, R. U. Noakes, brother of Elmo, and Rus sell Pierce, brother of Winifred, pre pared to claim them. Send Someone East. Officer P. J. Shelley, of the Rose ville police, said the Pierce and Noakes' families were going to "send some one east, but they haven't de cided who.' As the families reconciled them selves to the tragedy, a search for a motive grew apace. Shelley said there had been some "friction" In the family. "Some of the older folks didn't agree on the care of the children," said Shelley, "but Just what It was we haven't learned. We haven't found anything to indicate anything wrong between the Pierce girl and her uncle." " Niece Kept "House. Winifred had kept house for Noakes since last July. His wife had died in Salt Lake City two years ago and since then he and his children had lived here. For a tlme the children were cared for by Winifred's mother. Mrs. Hugh Pierce, and other rela tives, but last summer Noakes rented a houee and, took his children there to live. During the days Winifred kept house for him, but Shelley said she returned home at night. Both Noakes' brother and Wini fred's brother disclaimed any knowl edge of Noakes' plan to disappear with his family. The dead man's brother said he had talked with him the day before he left on November 11, and had heard no indication from him that he was mentally depressed or planned to go away.
