’ PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT PUT
A CURB ON THE ACTIVITIES
* OF THE ACE SLEUTHS OF U. S.
President Is Reported to Have
Warned Aids on Activities
ot Agents.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept.—
I President Roosevelt has ordered
curtailment of the invesiigating
activities of various federal agen
cies, according to reports in ad
ministration circles.
The President is said to have
'been perturbed over the activi
ties of PWA investigators and the
revelation that treasury secret
service agents, with or without
* authorization, had been inquiring
into the actions of the justice de
partment G-men. He is under
stood to have passed the word
privately to his aids that no “Og
pu” activities were to be tolerat
ed.
Tending to confirm the report
was a statement by Secretary
Ickes in his press conference that,
with the departure of Louis R.
Glavis as PWAinvestigating chief
to aid a senate committee, the
PWA and interior investigating
personnel would be reduced. He
said that Angelo P. Clas, new
chief of PWA investigators, had
no detective experience, and add
«d that his job was “largely one
requiring engineering knowledge.
Detectives in Many Agencies
Virtually all the agencies creat
ed under the new deal, and par
ticularly the PWA, WPA, FHA,
SEC and HOLC, have created
their own investigating units,
some numbering as many as 500
■agents, to assure honest adminis
tration and to avoid the scandals
that often have characterized
large-scale government operations
in the past.
Most of these organizations, as
far as public knowledge is con
cerned, have confined themselves
to routine duties, but criticism of
the PWA investigating staff was
heard almost from the first, and
now confirmed reports that secret
service agents have invaded a
field from which they are banned
specifically by law has led to
fear of further improper activi
ties.
It has been no secret here that
some of the older federal law en
forcement agents, including the
department of justice, have been
embarrassed by the shadowing of
individuals by some of the newer
agencies.
During the Theodore Roosevelt
administration, after charges by
the secret service had involved
members of congress, that body
passed legislation confining the
duties of the secret service to pro
tecting the persons of the Presi
dent and his family and break
ing up counterfeiting activities.
After recent allegations that im
proper activities were being car
rid on by federal agencies, aimed
at J. Edgar Hoover, and his fed
eral bureau of investigation of
the department of justice, the
treasury department admitted
that two of its agents, allegedly
acting without knowledge of their
superiors, had investigated the
shooting of several criminals by

New York Lawyer
Flew To Barrow
Via Kotzebue
Kotzebue, Alaska, Sept. 25.
Five days ago Mr. Frederick
Lee, a lawyer of New York, land
ed at Kotzebue after having
flown all the way from New York
all alone in a little Monocoupe,
powered with a 90 H P. engine.
Not satisfied with having made
Kotzebue, he decided to go to
Point Barrow, and he made the
trip in fine style, 'tho he encoun
tered very dangerous conditions.1
He landed at Wainwright to re
fuel and then on to Point Barrow
he zoomed all by himself. He
stayed at Barrow two days, land
ed back in Kotzebue yesterday,
and left this morning for New
York via Fairbanks, White Horse,
Edmonton, Winipeg and Chicago.
Mr. Lee has flown over a hun
dred thousand miles in the last
seven years, when he took up fly
ing. He flies only a month every
year; thus keeping his mind alert
for his intensive practice of law.
He always flies his own plane,
repairs it himself. Has radio
equipment, sleeping bag, cooking
utensils, guns, etc. He is a
charming gentlemen of about 35;
most anxious to avoid publicity,
but his unusual feat should at
least appear somewhere in the
records of Aviation.

Glavis, in his PWA job, was
frequently mentioned as the “ace
sleuth” of the administration.
Not confining himself to investi
gations of possible graft in con
nection with PWA projects and
interior department activities, he
was accused of spying upon and
privately questioning business
men who were suspected of hav
ing passed along to newspaper
men information which the de
partment preferred to keep from
the public.

fBy The Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Oct. 3, — The Sov
iet today openly boasted that her
Pacific shoreline was impreg
nable, following the conclusion
of Vladivostok naval air man
euvers which gave that sector its
most realistic taste of war since
the Reds drove out the Whites
in 1920.
“There can be no doubt that
any military force which might
attempt to land on the Soviet |
coast, no matter how well they .
were prepared, would be hurled i
into the sea,” said the Pravda,
the Communist party organ.
The statement was regarded as
a warning to Japan. The sea gam
es followed a similated air attack
on Vladivostok,with the populace
scurrying to gas chambers, while
ground batteries boomed, to fight
off “invading” planes.
