ITALY DISPATCHES HANSEN GIRL DIES JSt, BRUNO'S COUNSEL
By Paul Mallon
(Copyright, 1935, bv Paul Mallon.)
WASHINGTON. Feb- 11. The sen
ate would be less anxious to find out
how President Roosevelt proposes to
apend his 94,800,000.000 if It knew
what a time he
baa been having
trylnji to find
out himself.
The world Is
not supposed to
know it, but the
original report
presented to the
President by Mr.
Ickes called for
a mere trifle of
nine billion
(count them)
dollars. His laut
unpublished re
PAUL MALL ON
sort, which reached Mr. Roosevelt's
freak ten days ago, called for four
billion, three for projects on which
the PWA already has received appli
cations and one billion to be spent
under the national resources board
report. Mr. Iclccs projects are those
he considers socially useful, He
would conduct them through a ccn
, trallzed Washington bureau to pre
vent graft.
Mr. Hopkins has a different Idea.
Re first suggested seven billions and
now has cut It to four billions, but
he wants to spend it where the xm-
employed arc. He wants the right to
buy materials and lands, to build
schools, dig ditches He does not care
so much about socially useful proj
ects. He wants to glv money to
states' and cities and furnish em
ployment. Also, he wants to run
the social security program ' hand-In-glove
with the other under a de
centralized bureau in Washington.
The difference is that Ickes thinks
mostly of building useful projects
Hopkins thinks mostly of the Jobless.
Ickes Is a centrallr-er. Hopkins a de
centralizes I No wonder both said they did not
know what was going to be done In
their testimony before congressional
committees.
Just to make It more difficult, a
third different recommendation Is
supposed to have been made by Treaj.
tiry Secretary Morgenthau. He does
not like the spending Ideas of either
Mr. Ickes or Mr. Hopkins. He would
create a larger building unit In his
treasury department under Admiral
Peoples. Only federal projects would
be built, postoffices. public build
ings, darns and the like.
Secretary Porklns Inclines toward
the Hopkins scheme, except that pert
of It where Hopkins wants to take
over her social security program.
All Mr. Roosevelt as to do Is to
decide who Is right. He will do It In
the usual way. by throwing all these
eggs Into his cookery, stirring them
Into an omelet and then slicing It
up, giving Ickes, Hopkins and per
haps even Morgenthau a piece.
A significant turn of the cconoml;
worm has been -noted Inside the se
curities exchange commission. Within
the last few weeks there has been a
marked Increase In applications for
new financing from substantial busi
ness Interest.

The master dealers have worked out

CLEAR DUST LEFT
By FALLING WALL
Dust from the collapse of the et
wall of Mann's department store and
the West wall of the Scott Davis
building adjoining, covered the sto'k
of the Mann store, forcing the clos
ing of the store for further business
until Wednesday, according to Jonn
Moffatt, manager.
Carpenters were frantically work
ing today, trussing the walls of the
Scott Davis building, formerly occu
pled by the Hutchison Mercantile
company, part of the walls and mot
of which collapsed late Saturday
night as a direct result, according '.o
oficlels, of excavation work betng
done on a basement to the bulldlnft.
Carpenters went to work Sunday
morning, working ail day and last
night to get buttresses In place, and
to throw a temporary wall across the
opening made in the east wall of
Mann's store by the collapse of the
west wall of the Davis building.
The wall adjoining the alley on the
north side of the Hutchison and
Swem buildings will be removed as a
safety measure, according to Mr.
Davis, who said it was Impossible to
estimate the damage at the-present
time. The wall between the Mann
and Hutchison buildings was to oe
removed anyway.
Frank Rogers, city building inspec
tor, announced today that those in
charge of the work had believed the
building safe, but he declined to make
any further statement.

On Somaliland Line.
(Copyright, 1935. by Associated Press.)
ROME, Feb. 11. Italy called one j
quarter million men to the colors to
day and started thousands of soldiers
off to Africa as fresh hostilities were
reported on the frontier between Ital
ian Somaliland and Ethiopia.
A government spokesman said the
whole military class of 1911 had bcn
called out, and It Is known the class
numbers more than 225.000 men. An
official communique announced two
divisions numbering 8,000 men each
had also been mobilized.
The call to service was Issued, said
the government, "for measures or a
precautionary nature "
Reports from Naples early this
afternoon indicated several thousand
troops already have sailed from there.
The date of the mobilization order
indicates that it was Issued shortly
after word had been received of the
most recent Ethiopian attack on an
Italian frontier post along the Ethi
opia -Italian border in the vicinity of
Asdub.
A government spokesman disclosed
this morning that official quarters
knew of the latest border hostilities
ten days ago, although the commu
nique making them public was issued
only last night.

June Hansen, 13, died at the Com-

sertedly driven by Rosier P Carroll. !
local service station employe, at 10:30 ;
Saturday night. A coroner's Inquest j
has been called for 10 o'clock Wed-
nesday morning, at which a dozen ,
wltneees will be heard, according to I
District Attorney George Codding.
Besides the fatally Injured girl, who
suffered severe shock, Internal in
juries and a broken back, the Hansen
auto was occupied by Mrs. Hansen,
her father-in-law, Ben Hansen; her
daughter Dorothy, 17, and her oon
Clarence. 10. Dorothy and Clarence
are still In the hospital, but their
physician, Dr. E. R. Durno, said to?
day they will be able to leave soon.
Carroll was removed from the hos
pital to his home yesterday, where
he Is in bed suffering from shock,
bruises and a cut Up. His physician.
Dr. A. F. W. Kresse. stated emphat
ically, as did, Dr. Durno. that there
was no evidence that Carroll had been
drinking. Dr. Kresse said that Oai
loll Is suffering severe nervous strain,
occasioned by the death of June Han
sen. No explanation of the accident was
given today by Carroll, or his attor
ney, Charles Reames. The latter de
scribed the accident as "terribly un
fortunate, but unavoidable."
No charges have been filed against
Carroll and possibility of legal notion
Is said by officials to rest upon 'the
findings of the inquest.
Scores of people visited the scene
of the crash yesterday on West Main
street tnear Quince, where two trees
were knocked flat, and flour and
other groceries in the Hansen machine
were scattered over the front lawns
of several residences. The Impact of
the machines, which completely de
molished both, was heard by residents
within a radius of several blocks.
The deplorable accident of Satur
day night again forcibly emphasizes
the need for stricter adherence to
traffic and speed laws. Public safety
deipands Immediate action ln putting
an end to excessive speed on public
streets and enforcing other essentlsl
traffic regulations. To this end, I
will appoint a group of representative
cltlrens to act as traffic deputies so
that violations of driving rules may
be reported. Lack of finances makes
It Imposlsble for thla city to maintain
a staff of traffic officials ln numbers
sufficient to meet the present need,
and a group of qualified, public-spirited
cltlrana will be asked to assist in
the task of rrJlng costly accidents.
I further urge the cltlnena of this
city to Interest themselves In traffic
conditions of this city: to do their
part In the strict enforcement of
speed snd traffic laws In the interest
of public safety.

9. Well, sir, I pick up my pa
ppni and fintl that today is tho
i!dth anniversary of the found
ing of the Boy Scouts. Course, I
will be a day late with my con
gratulations, but it is such n
wonderful thing that yon can
compliment it every day and
then not be giving it half cred
it. Badcu-l'owcll, an English
man, conceived and carried out
the idea. What a monument
to man that is.
Thin year I think their inter
national convention is held in
Washington, D. C and you will
sec the pick of the kids of the
world assembled there. It's the
only purely democratic thing I
know of, no iiccidcnt of birth,
no pull, no nothing but just
merit and manhood
