WALLACE SEEN REEKING
HOPKINS, ICKES AMITY
OVERT! KES MADE BY AIDES
OF AGRICULTURE CHIEF
BELIEVED PREPARATION
FOR FARM PROGRAM HOW
RIFT TRACED TO IOWA
PRIMARY CAMPAIGN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace Js
currently trying to woo back his
ancient enemies within the New Deal.
One or two of his confidential sub
ordinates have already made frank
overtures to the lieutenants of Works
Progress Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins and Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes. Harry Hopkins has
even been asked to lunch at the agri
culture department. If Wallace has
his way, the battlea of Iowa and the
soil conservation service will be for
gotten, and almost universal peace
will reign.
The spectacle Is at once instructive
and faintly comic. It Illustrate the
strangely haphazard inter-relations
of the president's chief aides. It
underlines the ludicrous aspects of
the bureaucracy.
But, like so many Wallace moves,
this one Is dictated by hard common
sense. Soon an unholy row about
the farm program will engulf Wallace
and his department Wallace will
need all the help he can get In con
gress. No one Is better qualified to
give it than the dispensers of public
pap, Harry Hopkins with his projects,
and Harold Ickes with his public
works, Wallace will also need the
full moral backing of the New Deal.
No one can more certainly assure
htm of It than Hopkins and Ickes,
the most conspicuous leaders of the
New Deal group.
The Wallace agents take a soft
and sensible tone. "The farm pro
gram can't be divorced from the New
Deal," they say. "The administration
needs the farmers. Now that we're in
trouble, let's all stand together." But
the battles of Iowa and the soil con
servation service are hard to forget.
Since the famous Iowa primary,
from which the secretary of agricul
ture held so notably aloof, the New
Dealers have been bitterly angry with
Wallace. Wallace himself has cher
ished some resentment, for the
strongest pressure was put on him
to back the White House man. Rep
resentative Otha D. Wearin, against
Senator Guy M. Gillette. Even the
president himself was mobilized. Yet

Former Criminals Become
Prime Movers in Vast
Corporation Is Revelation
Suicides in Mansion
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. AP)
Philip Musics, 'the amazing schemer
ai.d ex-convict who changed his
name to P. Donald Coster and be
came president of McKesson and
Robblns, Inc., killed himself with
a pistol shot In his Fairfield, Conn.,
home today only a few hours after
his real Identity was disclosed.
His suicide followed the sensa
tional revelations that he and at
least one other brother under the
name of George Vernard, had hidden
their past police records sufficiently
well to become prime moving forces
In the corporation which last year
had listed assets of 87,000,000 and
$140,000,000 in business.
Third Man fn Doubt
The actual identity of a third
man, George T. Dietrich, assistant
treasurer of the firm, was still In
slight doubt, but federal authorities
held It likely he, too, was a brother
of Coster-Musica.
Dietrich, Coster-Muslca and Ver-nard-Musica
were charged with vio
lation of the securities act of 1934
because they allegedly filed false
Information on the firm with the
New York stock exchange.
Coster-Muslca shot himself through
the head a short time after his re
arrest and the arrest of Dietrich
and Vernard were ordeied by the
federal authorities here.
A fourth man, Robert Dietrich,
another employe of the firm, was
being brought here from Connecti
cut for questioning. He was reported
to have told authorities In New
Haven he was the fourth Muslca
brother, and George Dietrich was a
Muslca brother also.
Costcr-MusJcn's suicide climaxed a
week of dizzy developments, starting
when It was discovered the crude
drugs department of McKesson and
Robblns, under his direct supervision,
had apparently built up fictitious
assets of $18,000,000.
Bent Police
The man who lived down a crimi
nal past of 2ft years ago to become
head of thrt great drug firm turned
a pistol on himself as Chief of Police
Arthur Bennett was arriving at the
Costers' big country home to take
htm into custody.
"As nearly as I ran learn he put
a revolver to his head and pulled
the trigger." Bennett said.
Developments today showed Ver
nard was Mustca's younger brother,
Arthur, and federal authorities held
It likely Dietrich was ft second
brother who dropped from sight after
the crash of the Muslca finances
years ago. They also were checking
the possibility Mrs. Coster might also
have had another name In her
younger years.
The Costers were childless.
Bennett mid he first received a
call from the Coster home that Cos
ter had shot himself and an ambu
lance was needed.
He hurried away but had been
gone hardly more than a few min
utes before the telephone in Pair
child police headquarters rang again.
Stephen Lasko, an assistant, an
swered. "It was Bennett," Lasko said. "He
told me. 'Coster's dead. He put a
revolver to his head and pulled the
trigger','
Yacht Main Interest
Acting U. S. Atty. Oregory F. Noo
nan disclosed today there was a
fourth brother, Robert, who will be
arrested In the case. Robert, an em
ploye of McKesson end Robblns, was
on his way to New York from New
Haven.
Coster-Muslca had lived In Pair
field for about 10 years, but had
taken little part In the town's com
munity affairs. His life, fellow res
idents said, centered chiefly on his
123-foot yacht, Carol Ita.
Classed as a palatial pleasure craft
It had a crew of 10. At present It
Is tied up In a Stratford, Conn.,
shipyard. Friends of the corporation
head, who apparently had no Idea
the man who was their host was
one of the most amazing schemers
the generation has produced, enjoy
ed his expansive hospitality.
The Coster-Muslca home was on
18-room, remodeled colonial house.
finished in brown stucco. It has
stables and kennela nearby on the
four and a half acre tract. Coster
Musto was no horseman and the
stables were unoccupied, but he had
ft few dogs. The house's assessed
value was $30,000.

Courage of Rosenberg Broth
ers in Pioneering Cornice
Pear Christmas Packages
Benefits Entire Valley
American pioneers are not a thing
of the past. They still live, blazing
new trails, carving out new careers,
developing new Ideas.
In Medford live two pioneers, the
Rosenberg brothers. Hnrry and David,
owners of the Boar Creek orchards.
Five years ago they conceived what
has since been called the west coast's
most outstanding merchandising
Idea. They pioneered In Christmas
gift boxes of rore, flavorful, luscious
Camlet pears, the fruit that for cen
turies had graced the royal tables
of France but was virtually unknown
In the United States outside tho up
per register homes In New York City.
Through their pioneering. David and
Hnrry have taken the Rogue River
vnllcy Cornice pear out of the dog
house nnd placed It In the drawing
room.
Today Christmas gift boxes of
Cornice pears are rolling out of Med
ford In carload lots. They are going
to every state In the union, to Can
ada, to Honolulu. They are conveying
news of the Rogue River vaJley to
every part of the country, providing
employment here for hundreds of
local men and women and, what is
probably most Important, bringing
fair returns to growers who but a
few years ago were almost hopelessly
submerged In despair over repeated
production losses.
TTndauntert by Depression
Harry and David conceived the
Christmas gift package idea five
years agee That, the render may re
call, was 1933, the year the depres
sion reached Its terrifying bottom.
Pears then, as Harry expresses it,
were figuratively and almost literally
In tho dog house. Growers were
wringing their hands In despair. But
the Rosenberg Brothers did not de
spair. Instead they rolled up their
sleevea, took a long-pull gamble and
went to work.
They appealed to lending business
and Industrial executives to give
Cornice pears as a novel, an exotic
Christmas present. There was some
response but the country was In the
doldrums and It was difficult to
build up a volume business. Un
daunted, Harry and David perse
vered. The next year they began ad
vertising In a small way on a na
tional scale. The response Increased
and what was mora encouraging
those who had ordered gift packages
the previous year repeated and In
some instances Increased their orders.
Still faced with the possibility of
ultimate failure. Harry and David
stuck to their Idea. "We knew that
the fruit was Incomparably good,
that the merchandising Idea was
sound; so we went ahead and' sank
a smnll fortune In our idea before
profits started trickling bock.' Harry
says now. The brothers worked out

E
Quick Acceptance Expected
at Lima Conference
Hull Expects Agreement
On Defense Declaration
By ANDRl'E HERDING
LIMA. Peru, Dec. 16. (AP) The
United States, after obtaining the
unanimous consent of the other 20
American Republics, todny presented
to the Pan-American conference a
sweeping resolution calling Tor re
duction of barriers to international
trade. The resolution is expected to
receive speedy formnl conference ac
ceptance. The United States obtained this
show of unnnlmity at a time when
Argentine suspicion of Washington's
future foreign policy appeared likely
to become a strong factor In confer
ence 'developments.
The trade resolution declared
against "excessive barriers . . .
whether In the form of unreason
ably high tariffs; quotas, licenses,
exchango contiols and other types
of quantitative restriction; methods
of administering commercial, ex
chnngo and monetary policies which
impair tho maintenance of commer
cial opportunity between all foreign
suppliers,"
Hull Sees Agreement
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
head of the United States delega
tion, was repoited to be convinced
nil delegntlons can agree on a "dy
namic draft of a declaration" on
continental solidarity and defense.
He was said to feel the delegations
would have no trouble In writing
such a statement merely by putting
together sentences out of speeches
by himself and others before the
conference. ...
Hull seemed pleased unanimous
consent could be gained . for the
economics resolution, which he waa
said to consider of great Import
nnce In view of current conditions,
He was said to regard the resolution
as a step that might have a ten
dency to halt what he considered
an Increasingly chaotic movement
in Europe.
Discussing the Argentine deelara
tion, members of the Argentine dele
gation Insist the United States should
be considered a potential aggressor,
nnd they want a resolution to pro
vide for defense against Incursion
by any nation.
Attack Possibility Eyed
Consideration of a cooperative de
fense plan so far has been concern
ed mainly with the possibility of
attack from nations outside the
Americas, and delegates have said
they had In mind the dictator,
authoritarian regimes of Europe-.
The Argentines said they fearad
a chango of administration In Wash
ington might bring an end to or
alteration of the present good neigh
bor policy- There waa little indica
tion of suport for thta thesis by
other delegations.
One among their delegation said
tho United States was 'opposing a
Mexican-Argentine resolution against
collection of government debts by
force, and contended this waa an
Indication the United States might
one day decide to take forceful ac
tlon against a Latln-Amertcnn na
tion.
Tho Argentine delegation also was
firmly resolved no formal defense
pact should be adopted by the con
vention. The United States has shown
a willingness to forego Its own wishes
for a pact.
Secretary Hull's delegation Indi
cated It would be content with a
strong resolution, If It Included a
frank declaration against aggression
from nations outside the Americas.
