Commerce Bureau
Staff Reorganized
Move Will Increase
Agency's Value
To Businessmen
By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Commerce Hopkirn
has reorganized the personnel ol
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in an effort to increase
the agency’s value to businessmen.
Acting in conjunction with James
W. Young, director. Mr. Hopkins
yesterday reassigned most of the
bureau's ranking officers to new
duties and at the same time insti
tuted a plan of keeping a Angei
constantly on the pulse of business
Regional Supervisors.
To that end. Commerce Depart
ment officials in the 12 Federal Re
serve cities—Boston, New York
Philadelphia. Richmond, Atlanta
Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis. Minne
apolis. Kansas City, Dallas and Sar
Francisco—were made regional su
pervisors and instructed to keep ir
touch with business so their com
bined reports will give the depart
ment an up-to-the-minute picture
of the business situation.
This work will be supervised b;
C. Roy Mundee, formerly chief o
the Foodstuffs Division.
J He will be succeeded in the Food
stuffs Division by F. H. Rawls, wh<
has been relieved from the positior
of assistant director of the bureav
at his own request.
New Bureau Activity.
The other assistant director, N. H
Engle, has been assigned to anothe
new bureau activity—promotin
business research at State univer
sities by personal contact with uni
versity officials and business men.
Most of Mr. Engle's former dutie
were added to those of Ernest A
Holdup Gives Up to Correct
Press Error on Sum Taken
It was all a mistake, said Defend
ant Booze, and local newspapers
were to blame. The Government
agreed both in fact and fancy and
so did Plaintiff Seltzer.
Plaintiff Seltzer ought to know.
He is Abraham Seltzer, proprietor
of a grocery store at 1418 Twelfth
street N.W., where the Booze-Seltzer
drama was enacted Monday night.
The first act was swift and simple,
Actor Lloyd S. Booze. 23, colored, of
Arlington, relieving Mr. Seltzer of
$80 via a holdup.
Act two unfurled at the second
precinct police station the following
evening when Booze walked into the
j station house and publicly berated
i his press notices of that day. His
Tupper, chief statistician of the
bureau.
Of Mr. Rawls’ former duties,
supervision of industrial divisions
was given to Carroll Wilson of Bos
ton, who came to the bureau recently
from a New York investment firm,
and other duties were assigned to
Bruce Berckmans, recent recruit
from various business executive roles
in New York.
Harvest Moon Ball
As the first of a series of annual
dances, the Labor Department Post
No. 24, American Legion, will hold
■ a “Harvest Moon Ball” at 10 o'clock
tonight in the Mayflower Hotel.
Abner C. Lakeman, chairman, has
» arranged several novelty dance
‘ ! numbers.

critics, he told officers, were unfair, p
Clutched in his hand was a news- ip
paper clipping bearing the headline, ft
“Bandit Gets $85 in Store Holdup.” W
"I’m the man that done it,” he de- ||
dared, and then took the paper to ijf?
task for its error. "In this story it
says I took $80, but all I got was If
$6.75.”
Police, after questioning the con- ip
fessed suspect, hooked him on a rob
bery charge. He told officers he iff
gave himself up because he knew ft
they would “catch me, anyway.” If
And, besides, there was a mistake in
the paper, he said, which he wanted §f
corrected. He had used a small fl
booklet in his pocket to give the ap- ff
pearance of a gun when he staged
the holdup, he explained.
Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran witnessed act three from the f|
bench yesterday and thought it suf- f|
ficiently impressive to hold Actor ||
Booze for the grand jury under
$2,500 bond. f|
