OLSON THANKSGIVING DAY ASSTATE HOLIDAY Governor Urges Thankfulness for ‘Kindliness’ in Troubl- ed Times WALLACE ENVISIONS TRUE DEMOCRACY IN U.S. AS AIM OF AAA \Local Groups Eventually to Steer Production Control, Secretary Sees Washington, Nov. 26.—()}—Secre- tary Henry A.

He acknowledged that the control associations which make necessary adjustments with individual farm- ers, had made mistakes—‘thousands of them.” A few of these were deli- berdte with intent to defraud, he said, “but most of them honestly developed the concept of justice for the parts in terms of the whole.” ROOSEVELT DRAWS LEGISLATIVE MAP Conference Points to Quick Session on Social Secur- ity for Future Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 26.—(7)— IN MYSTERY DEATHS | OF THREE CHILDREN Solution to Mystery Complicat- ed by Possible Link With Second Tragedy WOMAN COMPANION SOUGHT Party Had Tickets From Boston to Pittsburgh; Youngest Named ‘Jennie’ Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 26.—(7)—A solu- tion of the mystery surrounding the death of three little girls whose bodies were found along a lonely mountain road turned more strongly Monday to- ward a tragedy at Duncansville, near Altoona, where a man and @ woman ‘were found shot to death. Paul White, ». Harrisburg bus driver tentatively identified a photogarph of the woman in the Duncansville trag- edy as the woman who made a trip ‘on his bus from New York to Harris- burg Wednesday accompanied by three children. White previously said he was certain the bodies of the three children in a morgue here were those who made the trip with the woman. No Trace of Poisoning Meantime, the examination for the cause of death of the three victims ‘was further complicated by a report by Dr. George R. Moffit that he found no trace of carbon monoxide poison- ing or asphyxiation in the bodies of the girls. The physician also reported no evi- dence of criminal assault. Dr. Mof- fitt reported he is continuing his analy- sis of specimens of the girls’ bloods for traces of other ‘The an- alysis was ordered after autopsies failed to show the cause of the death. White also positively identified a suitcase, picked up two miles from where the girls’ bodies were found, as one of three carried by the woman on the trip. “One child,” White said, “answered to the name ef ‘Jennie.’ She was the youngest of the three.” The party had tickets from Boston, he said, and the women, who seemed “very tired,” led the group from the bus at the state capital. Before going into the morgue, White said he had described the children to authorities, even to @ hole in the coat of the youngest, estimated to be about seven years old. This one he remem- bered particularly because he had helped her on and off the bus.

His first battle won with the speedy acquittal Saturday of himself and 16 co-defendants on charges of a $100,- 600,000 mail fraud, the former finan- Cier said: “I am ready to face these other trials that are pending. .I have been vindicated in this case and I am con- fident that I will be vindicated in the others.” Meanwhile, Martin J. Insull, pleas- ed by the acquittal of his brother Samuel, Saturday, in federal court came to court himself Monday to see criminal charges against him post- Poned until December 3. That date had previously. been agreed upon by Prosecutors John O'Hara and Earle C. Hurley, who, along with defense attorneys, expect- ed me trial to run longer than it .

While Samuel Insull rested at his hotel, the special assistant U. 8. at- torney general who presented the case against him went to work on another case after no more of a holiday than Sunday afforded. ¢ Salter's only comment on the $100,- 000,000 case was: “A lot depended on the jurors’ at- titude toward the government's docu- mentary evidence.

White said the tickets the woman iad for herself and the children were for trips from Boston to Pittsburgh. Duncansville is between Carlisle and Pittsburgh.

Italy May Refuse to Give Up Dr. Pavelich Rome, Nov. 26.—(?)—Legal circles Predicted Monday Italy would re- fuse finally to grant extradition to France of Dr. Anta Pavelich, alleged terrorist leader, adding another fac- tor to the delicate situation which has developed since the Marseille assassinations. The matter now rests in the hands of the minister of justice, it is un- derstood, following the rejection by the court of appeals at Turin of France's petition for Pavelich. The Turin court also denied an application for the extradition of Kvaternik, alleged lieutenant of Pavelich, who is charged by France with plotting the murder of King Alexander of Yugoslavia. PRIVATE LOANS FOR MODERNIZATION OF FACTORIES IS Al’: New Program Would Seek to Parallel Housing Drive as Recovery Measure BUSINESS PICKUP NOTED Administration Has Loaned Nearly 7 Billions; to Ta- per Off Practice Washington, Nov. 26—(4)—Gov- ernment economists, studying more reports of improving business Mon- day, sought further ways to stimulate capital goods industries, such as those supplying factory machinery and equipment. Assistance for these industries— which have displayed greater inertia than many others—is the aim of a tentative proposal drawn in memora- dum form for the consideration of administration advisers. Specifical- ly it suggests that a government agency be set up to insure private loans for the modernization of plants. With the government Providing insurance against excess risk arising from the depression, it was said, many concerns would be able to em- bark on-a program of modernizing plants which have deteriorated or gone out of date since 1929. Sup- Porters of the suggestion say its potentialities for re-employment of labor compare with those of the housing drive now under way. It is similar to the housing pro- gram in that, instead of lending 11s own money, the government woulda seek to stimulate the flow of credit from private banks into moderniza- tion work. The Roosevelt administration, which now had $6,946,069,897 out- standing in New Deal loans to a wide variety of borrowers ranging from banks and businesses to farmers and home-owners, has expressed the hope that private enterprise will take over some of the burden. The president has said government lending will taper off when private agencies as- sume the task. Officials who are hoping for a substantial business pickup noted a Teport of the federal reserve board, which announced Saturday that in- dustrial production and factory em- Ployment increased in October. This was welcome news, even though the increase was attributed to the end of the great textile strike. Industry activity increased from 71 per cent of the 1923-1925 average in September to 73 per cent in October. Steel mill activity wag 25 per cent of capacity, as against 23 in Septem- ber, but lumber and automobiles de- clined. EASTMAN ADVOCATES COMPLETE CONTROL OF SHIPPING BY U. §. Coordination of Transportation Says Duplication and Waste Must Go 8t. Louis, Nov. 26.—(#)—Joseph B. Eastman, federal co-ordinator of transportation, Monday told mem~ bers of the Mississippi Valley—asso- ciation that Interstate Commerce commission control of all transport- ation facilities would cure the ship- ping ills of the nation. Speaking at the 16th annual con- vention of the association, the co- ordinator said the country needs “the best system of transportation that can be provided, and one which will utilize every means of transport .. . to the best advantage, each in its Proper place and with a maximum of co-operation and a minimum of uneconomic duplication and waste. “One great trouble, as I see it,” he said, “is that while transporta- tion is a very live subject and there is plenty of talk about it, the talk is mostly by partisans... . “The only interest which has lack- and|ed a watch-dog has been the gen- eral public interest. I am trying to occupy a small part of that vacancy and living in hope that I shall not be chewed up in the attemp:.~ Pointing to the railroads as the “backbone of our transportation system,” the co-ordinator told the waterway advocates the health of the railroads is essential to sound transportation health. “The thesis which I am going to undertake to defend here is federal regulation of all important forms of transportation, including water car- riers and their port-to-port rates, by the Interstate Commerce co.nmis- sion,” he said. Eastman traced the history of un- regulated water transportation and of the rate battles that have been waged between railroads and water carriers, “The root of the trouble will not be reached until regulation is made co-extensive with the evil,” he de- clared and said control of railroad rates through the Interstate Com- merce commission had benefited that phase of tyansportation qten- ‘sively. ‘
