and took six pocket-books containing about forty dollars, ration books and keys. The youth escaped the school's custodian and several policemen who chased him to the root of a Seventh Arenue tenement, where he disappeared. Four purses were i recovered, two of them with their contents Intact and two of them empty. The teachers were terrified after the holdup abd refused to give their namea for tear of "gang" reprisals from children who would suspect them of tattling. 8o careful were the women to conceal their Identities that when a youthful suspect waa brought In for Identification they crouched behind a large folding screen so that they could see the youth but he could not observe them.

This sort of thing never has happened In the South, the "poor benighted South" as some of the self-appointed moral reformers of New York and Washington see us, and never will.

Ickes denounced the congressional attempt to oust Lovett as unconstitutional and told the committee that he had appointed Lovett as executive aslntant to the Governor of the Virgin Islands In order to provide a court test of the Congressional action. In response to a question from Representative Cole, Republican of New who wanted to know why tha, Interior Department was "so solicitous of Congress when funds are concerned but so hostile at other times," Ickes said: "We are not solicitous of Congress when we think It is contravening the Constitution and encroaching en our powers I don't have to respect any act of Congress which violates the Con-stltutlon." nM talking like the ill-fated Liberty League which appealed to the Constitution In rain In the early days of the New Deal.
