Wallace Spent
More Than Ickes
And Hopkins
WASHINGTON, uP) — Hen r y
Morgenthau, Jr., former secretary
of the treasury, said today Henry
A. Wallace passed out so much
njonej during the ne\y deal’s big
spending days that Morgenthau
once told the then secretary of ag
riculture he was “getting away
with murder.”
Morgenthau declared Wallace
spent more and got less for it dur
ing the 1934-1937 period than Har
ry Hopkins and Harold L. Ickes,
who directed huge outlays as di
rectors of federal relief and fed
eral works programs.
Wallace’s whole theory of
spending in order to reduce agri
cultural production always seemed
nonsense to me,” the New Yorker
wrote in the first of six articles
for Collier’s dealing with his cab
inet job under Franklin D. Roose
velt.
Morgenthau 'described the late
Hopkins as the “best” of the new
deal spenders because he got
money into circulation quickly for
pump-priming purposes and gave

Hudson Motors To
Produce New Car
DETROIT, (#*)—Assembly lines
at the Hudson Motor Car Co. were
closed down last week to make
way for a new-type model which,
the company announced. “You
step down into, not up on."
Hudson president A. E. Barit
described a few details of the new
car which he said was "entirely
different from any automobile
ever mass-produced."
It will have a lower center of
gravity than any other American
automobile, Barit stated, and, al
though only five feet from the
ground to its top, will provide
“more head room" than current
models and “the roomiest” seats.
The seat is completely ahead of
the rear wheel he added.
Barit declared the new cars
might be in production in “a few
weeks,” but declined to say just
how long the Hudson plants would
be down. The changeover was
costing Hudson $16,000,000.
i to keep graft and politics in the
public works program that he
spent money through a medicine
dropper.” Ickes’ slowness in mak
ing decisions was "sometimes a
real handicap,” Morgenthau said.

Gold Rush
Pans Out
VANCOUVER, B. C., (A*)—The
rush for claims in Prince Rupert’s
old-fashioned gold rush slowed
appreciably today with the report
that a sample assayed by G. S.
Eldridge and Co., ran only 70 cents
a ton.
Officials of the British Colum
bia chamber of mines described
the sample as “white, glassy
quartz with pyrrhotite (iron sul
phide) which sometimes contains
gold values.”
First reports from Prince Ru
pert said the ore contained $75,000
worth of gold to the ton.
