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.

IRKING PEOPLE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. (AP) Of
ficials assembling today at Warm
Springs, Oa., to discuss relief had a
warning from President Green of the
American Federation of Labor the
problem this winter will be "the most
serious this nation has ever faced."
He based his prediction last night
on his organization's reports that In
October unemployment was more
than ,500,000 greater than In the
same hiOnth last year. The A. P. of
L. estimated that 10,671,000 pcrsonB
were without work In Industry last
month, compared with 10,122,000 a
year before. .
Those who planned to discuss re
lief today or Saturday with President
Roosevelt at Warm Springs Include
Harry. Hopkins, relief director! Secre
tary Morgenthau, and R. G. Tugwell,
under secretary of agriculture. The
meeting was called one of the most
Important of pre-congress assemblies.
Green thought the Increase In un
employment was due partly to "the
fact that the effort to Increase em
ployment In Industry Is not so general
as It was at this time last year," cou
pled with a 2.8 per cent decline In
business activity.

21 SHEEP KILLED
BY
A bill for the loss of 31 sheep be
longing to Phelps Ac Orr, and pas

Medford, has been presented to the
county court. Dos are blamed for
the slaughter. Under the Oregon law,
the county pays $3 for each sheep

claims have been filed against the
county by sheep owners for the past
six months for the ravages of sheep
killing dogs.
