ESTABLISHED 1878 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1932 PRICE FIVE CENTS Believe Lindbergh Baby Seen Congress to Authorize Government Shake-Up HOOVER WILL HAVE POWER 0 REVAMP FEDERAL STRUCTURE Economy Committee Agrees on Move in Effort to Effect Further Savings FOLLOWS PRESIDENT’S PLEA One Proviso is That Changes Ordered Get Approval From Congress Washington, April 20—()—A vir- tual agreement to give President Hoover power to reorganize certain phases of the government to effect savings was reached Wednesday by a majority of the house economy com- mittee. Representative Williamson (Rep. 8. D.) was instructed by Chairman McDuffie to revamp his proposal to authorize the chief executive to ef- fect the reorganization. It is to be inserted into the $200,000,000 re- trenchment omnibus bill. President Hoover had requested con- gress to give him this power. Wil- Hiamson, ranking Republican on the expenditures committee and author of several consolidation bills that | have been enacted, legislation. Although details of the proposal are yet to be worked out, the committee indicated it planned to direct the president to make certain changes in the government's set-up, subject to approval by congress. Meanwhile, the committee began a study of President Hoover's proposals to reduce by $80,000,000 benefits to World War veterans. J. O'Connor Roberts, solicitor of the veterans ad- ministration, explained the proposals. The committee has proposed a re- duction of $29,000,000 in the veterans administration. A statement issued by the national headquarters of disabled veterans of foreign wars said the president's pro- posals were too drastic. They would reduce allowances, pen- sions and free hospitalization to vet- erans and place other restrictions on benefits. A statement came from William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, expressing hope that “out of the confusion which now prevails in congress will come a constructive measure providing for the establishment of the five-day work week and for the preservation of wage standards and working con- ditions for government employes.” Green said the federation would welcome the inauguration of the five-day work week for government employes were it not coupled with an enforced month’s furlough each year without pay, the loss of annual sick leave and other reductions. Department Heads Sorrowful The determined slashing of expen- ditures proceeded despite expressions of disgust by individual’ members: and tome administration officials. Representative LaGuardia (Rep. N. Y.), called the present activity an “epidemic of economy.” And chargec it was being sponsored by stock mar- ket operators to cover up dishonesty, impair the machinery of government, and go back to “the methods of 1890.” Senator Johnson (Rep., Calif.), complained bitterly at the fiat 10 per cent cuts ordered in all appropria- tion bills by the senate and so far approved in the house. He said they were arbitrarily made. Secretary Wilbur Tuesday sorrow- fully went over the interior depart- ment appropriation bill with Presi- lent Hoover. The budget bureau cut the department requests plenty, then the house knocked off millions and the senate took off 10 per cent more. Wilbur spoke of “the odds and ends that are left,” called the enormous reduction in Boulder Canyon dam funds “hocus-pocus.” BRITISH FROWN ON BALANCED BUDGET All Sides Are Disappointed at Plan Offered in House of Commons Tuesday London, April. 20.— (#) — Majority opinion on the national government's budget, introduced in the house of commons Tuesday by Neville Cham- berlain, chancellor of the exchequer, ‘Wednesday appeared summed up in “deeply disappointing but not. dis- heartening—inconclusive, but in some respects ful.” ‘ Liberal opinion, on the whole, treat- ed the budget favorably, although Major Gwylim Lloyd George, son of the former leader of the party, ‘de- scribed it as one of the worst budgets in recent years. Other free-trade Liberals expressed themselves as “thankful for small mercies,” and commended the impar- tiality of the chancellor in granting no relief because he could not amel- jorate the condition of the unemploy- ed and other chief sufferers from the government economy program. Comment from the labor group was confined to disapproval of the pro- posed tax on tea.

C. C. Puts Whole Business Back Eight Years Chicago, April 20—(#)—The whole question of freight rates on grain and grain products was thrown open Wed- nesday by examiners Arthur Mackley and George Hall, of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The examiners, in making this de- cision, over ruled the petition of western trunk line carriers to exclude all testimony on the economic plight of agriculture. In reopening the rate hearing, the commission was virtually right back where it started half a dozen years ago after the Hoch-Smith resolution had ordered a general investigation of all rates. The taking of tesimony was expect- ed to last three weeks with the car- riers presenting first evidence. The commission has under consideration Petitions for additional hearings in Fort Worth, Texas; Hutchinson, Kan- sas; Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Kansas City. No decision will be made on these petitions until the close of the Chi- cago hearing. In general, the Chicago hearing will be @ presentation of the serious Plights of both agriculture and the carriers. The grain interests —pro- ducers and elevator operators—seek a lower rate. The carriers seek to maintain at least the present rates. The first clash between raisers and carriers in Wednesday's hearing came after former governor Clyde Recd, of Kansas asked the commissioners as a time saver to stipulate the economic Plight of agriculture as contained in testimony of the former hearings. A. B. Enoch, chairman of the legal committee of the western trunk line carriers, refused and objected to the presentation of any evidence on eco- nomic distress. Examiner Mackley then ruled the “whole question is thrown wide open;” that to bring the records down to date, both sides could present any testimony they wish on economic conditions.

The screen actress sued to collect on a note. | Four-Year Program Would Put Municipality Into Many Businesses Milwaukee, Wis., April 20.—()—Mil- waukee city government, many years tinged by socialistic thought and Practice, Wednesday starts a four- year program which ventures further than any large American city has ever gone into the field of practical so- cialism. Socialists are in complete control of the city hall. They proved it Tuesday when a city council of doubtful poli- tical complexion voted for socialist men and ideas and gave rousing sup- port to Daniel W. Hoan, veteran so- cialist mayor who began his 17th year in office. If the program laid down by Mayor Hoan is accomplished, the city will be in the business of retailing coke, and possibly coal; the six hour day will be in effect in municipal employment; in the city hall there will be a municipal bank where citizens may deposit sav- ings, and the city legal department will be studying a proposal that fed- eral legislation be sought to allow municipalities to issue bank notes on the same conditions as National banks; pay of city workers will not be lowered except under stress of great emergency; the private contractor do- ing municipal work will be passing out of the political picture; and a city worker will be delivering the milk in the morning. Mayor Hoan was specific in mark- ing the limits to which he believes so- cialism should go. “To avoid any misunderstanding, I. should like to make it clear that I do not desire to| have the city go into the general re- tail business, with the possible excep- tion of milk and fuel,” he said in his; inaugural address to the new city council. “My proposal is that the; sealer of weights and measures be au- thorized to market goods only when necessary to prevent unreasonable holdups in prices on the necessities of Ife.” Demand for Lumber Tariff Is Presented Washington, April 20.—()—A new) tariff drive opened before the senate finance committee Wednesday with the appearance of a group of west- erners to lay down their arguments in behalf of import taxes on lumber and pulpwood. Like the copper tariff advocates who appeared Monday, they said their industry was hard hit and the duties were needed to hold back for- eign competition and retain jobs for American workmen.

Spirits Get no Hearing in Court - of London Judge; Voices Ignored London, April 20.—(P)—Spirits on the witness stand get no hear- ing in the court of Justice Mc- Cardie of London. The justice granted a verdict ‘Tuesday in favor of the London Daily, Mail, sued for libel by Mrs. Meurig’Morris, a spiritualist medi- ‘um, because of an article in which Mrs. Morris was advertised as “A Trance Medium Found Out.” Mrs, Morris went into a trance On the witness stand at the close of the trial and purported spirit voices began to roll forth over the court room. The judge was in the midst of his address to the jury. The woman stood up suddenly with her eyes closed and a deep voice boomed: “Hearken to my voice, O Brother Judge!” . The judge stopped his reading and ordered the plaintiff to be seated. “Let her speak!” someone shouted. The court then ordered the woman removed, but when the usher approached the deep voice boomed again. “Do not touch her,” it said, un- til I have left her body.” The removal process went on, however, and the judge resumed his reading. “I don’t like such cases,” he said, as he began again. “I hope I have not hurt the feelings of anyone unnecessarily,” he remarked, “but as a judge I care not for all the incarnate or disincarnate spirits in the world, and as long as I remain on the bench I shall resolutely seek to reach for the truth and shall ask the jury to do the same, even though there may be ten thou- ite spirits Friends said Mrs. Morris re- bes arenes for se ours. Her attorneys said would appeal.

The plan, known as the domestic allotment, will be introduced in con- gress as soon as the legislation 1s drafted. In tentative form, the plan proposes @ system of allotment rights for mar- keting that part of wheat, cotton and tobacco processed domestically. The rights would be issued to the produc- ers and absorbed by the processor, in turn. The control costs would be Placed on the product. In the case of wheat, the allotment, rights certificates would be worth an approximate 42 cents a bushel. The Present import duty. M. L. Wilson of the Montana Agri- cultural college, chairman of the con- ference, outlined the plan as follows: “In the case of wheat, if the amount needed for consumption in the United States is 500,000,000 bushels, a some- what smaller amount, say, 475,000,000 Would Change Dry Statute to Provide For Naturally Fer- 3 mented Beverages GOVERNMENT IS ACCUSED Leader Says Reversal of Atti- tude by Prohibition Office is Disastrous San Francisco, April 20—(4)—Revi- sion of the 18th amendment to per- mit the sale of naturally fermented beverages was advocated here Wed- nesday as a new policy of the Cali- fornia Vineyardists association by Donald D. Conn, managing director of the association. In a report summarizing his ad- ministration for the last five years, Conn charged a reversal of govern- mental prohibition enforcement po- licles threatened disaster to the grape industry and made legaliza- tion of wine-making imperative. He charged that for 12 years the government, by liberal rulings and interpretations of the Volstead Act, “approved and assisted the growing and sale of juice grapes for home wine-making” only to “betray” the grape growers later by a “complete reversal” of prohibition enforcement policy. “The government, from the begin- ning, has been a party to the in- creased volume of wine-grape pro- duction,” his report set forth. “Both federal and state authorities not only permitted these additional plantings after the prohibition act was passed, but did much to encourage wine- grape marketing and sale. bushels, would be the total domestic allotment.

Its pro- gram was fully understood from the ‘beg! ” inning.’ The anti-prohibition portion of Conn’s report was endorsed by a com- mittee of leaders of the industry. In lieu of the Volstead Act, Conn urged advocacy of a “national liquor plan” to be enacted by congress after allotment certificate for the number|the isth amendment has been re- jof bushels assigned to him for sale/pealed or modified.

Millers and other processors of wheat could use only wheat accompanied by cer- tificates for the same number of bushels, for which certificates they; would pay approximately 42 cents 4 bushel. “Since wheat could be obtained ir! no other way except by importation | this would make the tariff of 42 cents @ bushel immediately effective on ai! domestic consumption of wheat for food purposes.

There is no dependence upon the export demand in the allotment plan. No control of production would be attempted. Each farmer could pro- duce as much wheat as he desired over and above his allotment rights. but he could get for it only the price| paid for export wheat.

It would permit the restricted manufacture of wines for use in jhomes and hotels. Unlimited fer- mentation or distillation of surplus agricultural crops and the exporta- tion of the resultant products to for- eign countries would be permitted. Conn estimated his plan would provide about $500,000,000 of tax re- ceipts to the federal government an- nually, INCREASE SHOWN IN giving something to those farmers) NORTHWEST AIRMAIL Minneapolis Official Says it dustifies New Transcon- tinental Line Minneapolis, April 20.—@)—The substantial annual increase in the volume of airmail handled out of Minneapolis gives ample proof the northwest is entitled to its own trans- continental airway, Postmaster A. J. Schunk said Tuesday in commenting upon the $200,000 appropriation which makes such a line possible. Total poundage of Minneapolis air- mail has grown nearly 400 per cent since 1928, he pointed out. Schunk, although he has received no official word from Washington re- garding a start on establishment of the new airmail route in the north- west, expressed the hope it will in- clude. a connection between Minneap- olis and Watertown, 8. D., for west- ward mail, which now is routed to Omaha, via Chicago. It is expected the new northern transcontinental route will be an ex- tension of the Minneapolis-Mandan line. From Mandsn it will bridge a gap across western North Dakota, either to Butte, Helena or Great Falls, Mont., and then to Spokane, Wash., where it will connect with al- ready existing lines to Seattle and other north Pacific coast points.

MASSIE AS LAST WITNESS IN HONOLULU TRIAL Victim of Assault to Strike Fin- al Blow For Defense in Honor Slaying Honolulu, April 20.—(#)—Mrs. Tha- la Massie, unwilling player in the drama of passion and homicide that has shaken Hawaii politically and socially, was chosen to strike the final blow for the defense in the Joseph en lynching trial Wednes- lay. Clarence Darrow, promising to end his case Wednesday, announced he probably would call the blonde 22- year-old assault victim to the wit- ness stand in the effort to free her husband, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, and three other persons accused of the killing. A direct story of the brutality suf- fered by the young woman in the as- sault of last September was expected as the defense sought to reinforce the testimony of Lieut. Massie, who admitted holding the pistol that kill- ed_the young native. Despite the efforts of a belligerent prosecution, Dr. J, Thomas Orbison and Dr. Edward Huntington Williams, Los Angeles alienists, insisted in their testimony Massie was insane at the moment he faced Kahahawai with drawn pistol and heard the ath- lete allegedly confess attacking Mrs. Massie. Will Be Cross-Examined Dr. Williams remained to be cross- examined, however, before the de- fense could take the final step in its case, The announcement by Darrow, head of defense counsel, that Mrs. mean none of the other defendants, Mrs. Granville Fortescue, mother of the attack victim; Albert O. Jones and E. J. Lord, navy enlisted men, would take the stand. The defense previously had con- sidered calling Jones because of pro- secution hints that he was the real killer of Kahahawai. It was learned, however, the defense had decided to let Lieut. Massie's story stand as the only direct account of the killing. Dr. Orbison termed Massie’s ail- ment as “delirium with ambulatory automatism,” which he reduced to plain “mental derangement” when Darrow asked him for a simplified definition. Jury Is Interested The 12 men in the jury box ex- hibited signs of interest. The alienist expressed the belief that a fit of anger did not cause Mas- isie to kill Kahahawai “because in to get a confession, and it was un- likely he would kill the person from whom he expected to get this con- fession unless his reason was un- balanced.” Dr. Williams said his observation jWas that Massie had fallen into men- tal tension. In an aside to the jury he said: “You hear in a joking way about monkey glands. It isn’t a joke. It is the most serious thing in the world. It {s so important that six weeks ago the American Medical association said that the endocrine glands were the basis of all future medicine. “If I could have tested Lieutenant Massie’s blood at the time this thing happened, it would have shown the gland secretions were deficient. This man carried about him a bomb. He was in an automatic condition. I am convinced he is telling the truth.” Game of Hangman Is Fatal to Small Boy Tacoma, Wash., April 20.—(P)—A game of hangman he played sup- Posedly to amuse his two - year-old sister, has cost the life of George Clausen, 11.

The total levy for the 39 townships this year is $34,027.50 compared to $48,810 in 1931, Isaminger does not yet have figures on levies for all 47 townships in the county, This reduction is about the same as the average cuts in budgets being made by townships throughout the state this year, according to statewide figures. Early figures indicate that the statewide cut, will be slightly more than 30 per cent. Reductions have been made by the Burleigh townships in all budget items, according to Isaminger, though the heaviest cuts have been made in the road and bridge levies. One Makes No Levy One township, Logan, failed to make a levy this year while last year it levied $1,500. Some of the townships cut their budgets more than 50 per cent and a few left them approxi- mately the same as last year.
