MONOPOLY INQIIRT FACES
FIRST RKAL TEST
WOULD PRKSF.XT PICTURE
NATION'S ECONOMIC LIFE
ML' ST AVOID HUNT
FOR HEADLINES
SHAKE-IP IN PROBE
PERSONNEL CONSIDERED
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. The big
monopoly Investigation has passed
through three preliminary stages. In
the first, business men eagerly lined
the capacious pockets of local lobby
ists and chiselers. in the foolish hope
of "fixing" the Investigators. In the
second, the business men's lawyers
descended on the capital, to see what
they could do by polite obstruction.
And In the third, thj lawyers having
reported the investigators meant
business, the business men themselves
have, volunteered their- full coopera
tion. Thus, while the politicians bellow
at the hustings, something less noisy
but equally significant Is happening
here. The monopoly Investigation,
Intended by its sponsors t- change
the course of American economic
thinking. Is now facing it first real
test. .
The Investigators have every facility
at their disposal. The question la,
can they paint a real and convincing
picture of the country's economic
life? Or will the Investigation de
generate Into a sporadic headline
bunt. In which unrepresentative
business situations will be Juicily ex
plored without sharpening a detail or
clarifying a line in the general pic
ture we now have? As the New Deal
ers in charge of the investigation are
honestly anxious to do a good Job.
they are really disquieted by the
magnitude of the technical problem.
In some ways, the signs are good.
Hearings are expected to, begin In
November, and, after an introductory
discussion, patents will probably be
the first subject to be tackled. As
sistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold and his henchmen have col
lected much material Illustrating the
use of patents as an Instrument of
economic power. The glassware In
d us try will be used as the most con
venient object lesson, but the mater
ial covers all sorts of manufacture.
If It Is as good as Arnold hoped, It
should form an adequate foundation
for new treatment of the patent laws.
But there are disturbing signs also.
Whether the power derives from pat
ent ownership, interlocking stock
controls, banking influence or raw
material monopoly, the broad extent
and effects of all kinds of concen
trated economic power Is the really
Important question to be settled.
This focal point of the investigation
Is being handled by the securities
and exchange commission. And the
commission Investigators have run
Into a peck of trouble.
Progress has been so slow that, this
week, on the initiative of Chairman
William O. Douglas and Commission
er James N. Prank, a radical shake-
up has been considered. At the start.
Douglas wanted to put bis allege

New Deal Opposition to Un-
American Inquiry Hinted
Fiery Texan On Air
Monday Night.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (AP)
Chairman Dies (D., Tex.) of the
house committee Investigating un
American activities, accused Secre
tary Perkins today of trying to pro
tect, rather than to deport Harry
Bridges, west coast labor leader.
The militant Texan, whose com
mittee was critlzed by President
Roosevelt recently for Its handling
of testimony against Governor Frank
Murphy of Michigan, charged that
the labor department chief and her
assistants had selected a weak case
for a test In the supreme court that
would control the Bridges deporta
tlon proceedings.
Dies wrote Solicitor General Robert
H. Jackson that "as head of the
labor department. Madame Prances
Perkins Is endeavoring to throw the
Strecker case, In order to save Harry
Bridges, a communist and alien labor
leader. In violation of the laws of
the United States, the decision of
our federal courts, and her oath
of ofUce." '
Madame Delays
Secretary Perkins has delayed the
deportation proceedings against
Bridges, a C. I. O. leader who Is
a native of Australia, until the su
preme court decides upon the case
of Joseph W. Strecker. That case
involves the question of whether an
alien may be deported for Joining
the communist party.
Dies' letter replied, he said, to an
Invitation from Solicitor General
Jackson that the represematlve par
ticipate in presenting the Strecker
case to the high court.
The Texan also announced he
would make public letters of Presi
dent Roosevelt and other adminis
tration leaders In an effort to show
"that they have refused to coope
rate" In the committee's investiga
tion of communism and fascism.
Dies said he would answer Presi
dent Roosevelt's criticism of the
committee In a radio broadcast Mon
day night at 8:15 o'clock (PST) over
the mutual system.
Dies wrote Solicitor General Jack
son that government lawyers appnr
ently were "not acquainted with
many Important face In this
(Strecker) case which clearly demon
strata that Madam Perkins, secretary
of labor. Is endeavoring to tise you
and the department of justice to
pull her chestnuts out of the fire'."
Wisdom Questioned
He charged that the secretary of
laoor had "misrepresented the effect
which the decision In the Stracker
case had upon the deportation pro
ceedings against Harry Bridges."
The oh airman said that R. B.
Bonham, Immigration official at
Seattle, Wash., regarded the supreme
fourt test as "very weak" compared
with evidence against Bridges.
"Madam Frances Perkins' experi
ence and Judgment on Immigration
and naturaliratlon matters are of
no value, as against the experience
and Judgment of District . Director
Bonham, who has devoted many
years exclusively to immigration and
naturalization matters," Dies as
serted. Referring again to the Bridges
case, Dies said "months and years
have transpired since the first com
print were filed against him."
while the ordinary alien waa quickly
arrested, Jailed, and given a prompt
hearing.

Fact Finding Board Reports

Conference Seeks Solu

President Roosevelt's fact-f 1 n d in g
board recommended today that the
railroads abandon their proposal to
reduce wages of approximately 1,000,
000 employes on December 1.
- The railroad managements gave no
Immediate indication as to whether
they would comply. Still up to the
president, In the words of one bosrd
member, waa the problem of avert
ing the nation-wide strike which the
rail workers have voted if the pro
posed 15 per cent reduction Is put
into effect.
The White House disclosed that
Mr. Roosevelt would pursue this
problem Monday at a conference
with George M. Harrison, head of
the railway labor executives' associa
tion, and John J. Pelley, president of
the association of American rail
roads. Presumably, the possibilities of
other proposed solutions of the rail
roads' . financial plight will be dis
cussed at this conference. The ad
ministration's Ideas on government
aid and legislation at the next ses
sion of congress are expected gener
ally to be canvassed. Pelley declared
at recent hearings before the fact
finding board, however, that the
wage cut offered the only adequate
solution.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 39. (AP)
Presidents of two major railroad
brotherhoods with headquarters here

against a proposed 15 per cent wage
cut.
President A. F. Whitney ef the

binding, I Imagine the railroads will
withdraw their demand for lower
wages. They can't very well attempt
to cut wagea In face of the report."
Alvanley Johnston, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
complimented the board on Its
"thorough Investigation and Its very
intelligent report."
"It seems to me It would be wise
for the railroads to accept the re
port," he said.

NAZI EXPULSION
OF POLES HALTED
BERLIN, Oct. 29. (AP) German
authorities called a halt tonight to
the mass expulsion of Polish Jews
pending the opening of negotiations
Monday to regulate the status of
all Polish citizens in Germany.
The action was taken simultan
eously with an announcement In
Warsaw that Poland had abandoned
plans for retaliatory measures against
Germans residing there.
More than 20.000 Polish slews had
been herded on both sides of the
border by Germsny in a counter
move to a new Polish citizenship
law which Berlin authorities feared
would leave thousanda of these clti--na
stranded In the relch without
passports.
The eleventh hour decision to
halt the movement of Polish Jews
toward the border came after Polish
representatives told German authori
ties they had misinterpreted the
new citizenship regulations of the
neighboring republic.
Deportation trains which had car
ried thousands to the frontier since
the sudden roundup started yester
day were directed to return.

PAT CROWE, ONCE
CRIME 'BIG SHOT,'
DIES PENNILESS
Notorious for Kidnaping of
Cudahy Heir Last Years
Spent As Reformer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. (AP) Pat
Crowe, reformed "enemy of society'
who preached to sidewalk crowds
that "crime never pays" died todsy
penniless and alone a testimonial to
his preachmenta.
A man of many aliases, Crowe waa
one of the most colorful figures In
American criminal history. He was a
tired, but proud old man of 79 when
he waa taken from his shabbily-fur
nished room to a hospital last Wed-J
nesaay; but 40 years ago Pat Crowe
was the object of a sensational, na
tion-wide manhunt with a price of
$60,000 on hla cocky head.
One-time kidnaper, train robber
and burglar extraordinary, Crowe
served time In many midwest "big
houses" before he decided to mend
his errant ways and spread the gos
pel of honest living.
He waa known to police of a dozen
cities long before he sprang into
notoriety In the kidnaping of Ed
ward J. Cudahy, Jr., 10-year eld heir
to meat packing fortunes In Omaha
late In the Wa.
Screaming posters offered the then
almost unheard of reward of 950,000
for the kidnaper. Desplta the Inten
sity of the search the wily Crowe
eluded the police, but finally sur
rendered In Butte, Mont.
Although Crowe admitted the kid
naping and although he and hla con
federate Jim Callahan, said they col
lected $25,000 ransom for the safe
return of the packing heir, Crows
waa acquitted.
Five years before, he had served
time In the Missouri prison for train
robbery. Ha first appeared on police
records under the name of Frank
Roberts In Chicago, July B, 1890.
when he waa sentenced to eight years
In Jollet prison for robbery.
It was In 1906, after Crowe had
been acquitted of a robbery ohargo,
that he decided to give up his life
of crime, He had dubbed himself
"an enemy of society," and ha set
out to make retribution.
Hla only Income waa an old-age
pension. His only connection with a
lurid past waa a pack of newspaper
dippings, yellow with age, found In
his room, clippings reciting his ad
ventures. AGREEMENT NEAR

claim shortly before one o'clock Fri
day afternoon, after they had cut

Cummings Defends New
Deal, Sen. Vandenberg
Flays Trend Farley
Predicts Victory.
(By the Associated Press)
Campaign orators for both major
parties told the nation last night
that election of their candidates to
congress on November 8 waa the beet
way to preserve democracy.
Attorney General Homer Cumminge
declared "no more heartening mes
sage could go forth to the lovers of
democracy, at home and abroad, than
a verdict In November that the Amer-
lean people propose to uphold the
hands of their great president."
But Republican Senator Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan took the
view that In the forthcoming elec
tions "the people must decide either
we go on to glory in the spiritual
and material freedoms of a represen
tative republic or we bog down 1
the morasa of a controlled and col-,
lectlve state..
: In an address prepared for delivery
at York, Pa., Cummings defended the
policies of the Rosovelt admlnlatra
ttrm with thu nnl-airtlnn thntf
"Dictatorship, revolution, bureauc
racy, these have been the cries, tha
constant and Invariable answers tm
every effort to eliminate Injustice
and restore some measure of equal
opportunity to the people of thtej
country."
Senator Vandenberg aald "we ar
not automatically Immune to all tha
forces of destruction which are ' re
ducing democracy to a shambles else
where In the world."
If a third-term president ever Is
elected, the senator argued, "you can
eventually bid goodbye to democracy
in America precisely aa It disappear
ed almost everywhere else on eartH
when attacked by concentrated cen
tral power.
"And that'a the great, fundamental
thing that this election la first
about. Vandenberg spoke on a na
tional radio network. (CBS) from
Columbus, Ohio.
The chairman of the Democratic
national committee, James A. Farley,,
predicted In a speech at New Torts
that the people would "vote their
confidence In the Roosevelt admlnts
t rat ion and send to congress the men
and women who are prepared to carry
on these policies."
In hla address, which was broad
cast (by NBC) he said also that his
party was "Intensely satisfied" that
Republicans had "chosen to make the)
popularity of the president of the
United States" the prime question in
this congressional election. 1
