LAID T0 REMORSE cificgtufist Leaves Note | TeMing of Love for Wife ! ' He Lost. Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—Ralph Bar- ton's remorse over failure to appreciate “a beautiful lost angel” was revealed today in a note written before he took his own life in his »em.hwn apart- ment. ‘The note identified the “angel” as “Carlotta,” referring to the caricatur- ist's third wife, now married to Eugene | O'Nelll, playwright. Mr. and O'Neill recently arrived in New York | | rom Prance. eaded “Obit,” the note said, in part: have had a few real difficulties. I have had, on the contrary, an excep- tionally giamorous life, as life goss: and T have had more than my share of fection and appreciation. “I have always had excellent health, but since my- early childhood I have suffered from a melancholia, which in the last five' years has begun to show definite symptoms of manic-depressive insanity. Work Was Torture. “It has preyented my getting any- thing * like the full value out of my talent, and the last three years has made work a torture to do at all. It ‘has made it impossible for me to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I have run from wife to wife, from house to Touse, and from country to country, in | a ridiculous effort to escape from my- self. In doing so I am very much afraid | that I have brought a great deal of un- happiness to those who have loved me. “In particular my remorse is bitter over my failure to appreciate my beau- tiful lost angel, Carlotta, the only wom- an I ever loved and whom I respect and admire above all the rest of the human race. She is the only n who could have saved me had I n savable. She did her best. No cne ever had a more devoted or more understanding wife. “If the gossips insist on something more definite and thrilling as a reason let them choose my pending appoint- ment with the dentist or the fact that T happened to be painfully short of cash | at the moment.

CHICAGO, May 21.—Dr. James E Boyle of Cornell University, speaking before the Analysts' Club last night, sald signs were apparent of a break- up in what he termed the Govern- ment’s farm marketing experiment. “History repeats itself,” he said. “A few years ago_ in North Dakota the Non-Partisan League put the State government into the grain bustness Most of the experiments quickly failed and ceased.

These experiments quickly faded from picture. “Now comes the Farm Board, set- up one big central in Chicago lnd numerous large regionals. These re financed with cheap Government cndn.

AURORA, TIl, May 21.—The Roose- | velt Aurora Post of the American Le- |gion yesterday adopted a resolution | asking President Hoover to take steps for the cancellation or drastic reduc- tion of European war debts to this country. ‘The resolution, which was ordered sent to the President, suggested ‘that “certain great industrialists and others” who “made immense sums out of sold st inflated prices during the war” be made to assume in their income’ taxes the canceled debts. Cancellation of the debt, the reso-| Tution said, would allow European na-| tions to buy more American merchan- |dise and thus revive industry and em- | ployment. | Turks Shoot to Safe Moon.

By the Assoclated Press. A vastly expanded public works pro- gram, made possible by an immediate special session of Congress, was seen to- day by Senator La Follette as the sole hope of avoiding “the dire consequences of a third Winter of unemployment for many millions of our citizens.” Speaking as chairman of the Unem- ployment and Industrial Stabilization Comimittee selected at the recent Pro- gressive Conference, the Wisconsin Re- publican based his conclusions upon a preliminary report by Dr. Isador Lubin, hairman of the Conference Subcommit- | tee on Unemployment. Sees 6,000,000 Jobless. | “The Federal Government alone can meet the wldesprnd distress which the report reveals,” La Follette sald. “At the present rate of industrial re- vival the number of unemployed to be provided for during the coming Winter bids fair to remain close to the 6,000, 000 found by the Census Bureau in its enumeration of last January.” The Senator said the report showed | little or no evidence that the remainder | of 1931 would bring sufficlent improve- | ment. At the same time, he continued, Ik ‘our municipalities are fast approach- ing exhaustion and many cities are al- ready experlencing difficulty in ren- | dering aid to their jobless citizens.” } Finds Cities Depleted. | virtually every city in the country | was declared to have experienged a fall in tax receipts, indicating, La Fc)- lette said, that city budgets would be Jess able fo cope with unemployment this Winter. The situation was held further complicated by the fact many municipalities had sold up to their limit of bonds and would be unable to boryow further. “Unless the Federal Government gpends now,” he esserted, “the cost, of healing those injuries which are likely to occur during the coming 12 months wm be many times more than what | | may be saved by our present policy of | | Federal economy. | “A special session of Ot‘lnll’ell should | be called immediately to relieve distress | among the unemployed.
