i oeni o EXTRATIONFGHT AVDDEDBYEDRCH Gov. Talmadge Will Send New Papers for Fugitive Held in Michigan. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, January 14.—The Gover- nor of Georgia says there will be no controversy between him and the Gov- ernor of Michigan over the extradition of an escaped Georgia prisoner. Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia announced today that Gov. William A. Comstock of Michigan had told him in a telephone conversation he would grant the extradition of Jesse Craw- ford, colored fugitive, when the requi- sition papers met Michigan require- ments. Yesterday Gov. Comstock de- clined to honor Georgia's request. Gov. Comstock at Lansing, however, said that “if Gov. Talmadge concluded that I had agreed to return Crawford, he evidently misunderstood my state- ments over long-distance telephone this morning. Didn’t Commit Self. Comstock said he had merely in- formed the Governor of Georgia that “‘extradition was denied Crawford yes- terday because of the insufficiency of the extradition papers. I did not com- mit myself nor do I choose to do so whether I shall honor the request of the Governor of Georgia if the papers are perfected. ‘Talmadge szid the Governor of Mich- “told me that they raised the point ut that cruelty business at the hear- ing, but that he paid no attention to it, but did decline extradition because the papers were not in proper form.” “Gov. Talmadgs was correct when he quoted me as saying that I paid no at- tention at the hearing to the allegatio of brutality in connection with Georgia' treatment of chain gang prisoners, Comstock said. “I did not consider the merits of the case, but merely the in- sufficiency of the papers.” No Controversy” to Arise. After learning that Gov. Comstock said the Georgia Governor had misun- derstood him about granting the extra- dition when Michigan's requirements were met, Talmadge said only that there ‘would be “no controversy between Gov. Comstock and myself” over the extra- dition. Crawford is wanted in Fulton County for an automobile theft and burglary. He escaped from a Fulton County chain gang camp April 7, 1932, with three others by cutting a hole through the thick board floor in a corner of their sleeping quarters. He was serving two sentences, one for auto theft and an- other for burglary. Gov. Comstock, in denying extradi- tlon, followed recommendations of As sistant Attorney General George Mu: phy, who presided at the hearing at Wwhich Crewford’s attorneys and one other witness charged that to send him back to Georgia would to subject him to “inhuman tortures.” Exhibits Three Scars. Crawford exhibited three scars at the hearing which he said were caused by chains. He said he was fastened in stocks bceause he was too ill to~work and that he was forced to eat and sleep in chains. @ ‘Three Fulton County officials, Com- miseicner Walter C. Hendrix, Dr. W. L. Gilbert, physician and member of the County Beard, cnd A. A. Clark, jr., superintendent of county public works, denied there had been any ill treat- ment of convicts in Fulton County camps. Prison Commicsioner Vivian Stanley | wired Michigan authorities to re-arrest Crawferd, who gained his freedom by habeas corpus after extradiction was denied, and officials were preparing new papers to send that would meet Michigan's requirements. CHAIRMAN NORTON HAS CLOTHES DEPOT 1 Pellow Members of House Invited to Donate for Needy of Capital. Chairman Norton of the House nu-‘ tric. Committee has turned her office into an old clothes station where dis- carded clothing that can be spared by fellow members of the House—women as well as men—can be left for distribu- tion among the needy of the Capital. Mrs. Norton has appealed personally to her colleagues to help along this work. Practically every member with whom she has spoken has promised to make a contribution. She is working in co-operation with the District Unemployment Relief Committee through its committee on conservation of clothing. She said last night that she is sure that as soon as| her proposal is known generally among the House members that her office will | be kept busy bundling up the clothing | that will be brought in Mrs. Norton has invited a number of her colleagues to make a personal inspection trip with her to the depot | at which the old clothing is repaired by volunteer workers. They are ap- pealing especially at this time for overcoats. In presenting her plea from the floor of the House, Mrs. Norton got rec- ognition at a time when, unfortunately, not many of the members were in their seats, but her plan is being d'scussed in the cloak rooms.

NEW YORK, January 14.—Criticism of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt for their reported utterances on the liquor question was applauded today by several hundred women attending the prohibition day luncheon of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The criticlsm was voiced by Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church, and was di- Tected primarily at an adrdess made by Mrs. Roosevelt on December 9, in which she said conditions brought about by prohibition “require mare strength of character” than any condition she re- ! membered in her youth: Refused fo Answer. “The average girl of today” she continued, “faces the problem of,learn- ing very young how much B;fi can drink of such things as whisky ahd gin and sticking to the mr quantity.” A group of women lers of Topeka, Kans, sent Mrs. Roosevell a letter of “protest” at the time, on which she de- clined to comment. “I do not like to publicly criticize a woman, especially the next First Lady of the Land,” Dr. Peale said in his ad- dress to the W. C. T.

Scores Husband Also. “I can’t say her husband is much better. He went to Pittsburgh and said the United States could raise $200,000,- 000 or so by taxes on beer. Does he not know that never in the years berl‘g: prohibition did the United States more than $126,000,000 on beer?” Mrs. Henry Peabody of Boston, head of the Women’s League for Law En- forcement, said that on Monday an- nouncement will be made of & new or- ganization to fight any change in the eighteenth amendment. She did not give any details beyond saying the or- ganization would be based upon existing | groups of women who felt that the male legislators of the country were not rep- resenting the interests of women and children.

REALTY BOND LOSS PUT AT 3 BILLIONS White House Said to Get 1,000 Letters Daily Re- garding Defaults. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 14 —Testimony that half of the ten billion dollars’ worth of real estate bonds issued throughout the country were in default and that the White House received more than 1,000 letters a day from dis- gruntled bondholders was heard today before the Joint Legislative Banking Committee. Witnesses attributed the situation to the methods of underwriting and issu- ing the bonds. %’he committee, headed by State Sen- ator Nelson W. Cheeney of Buffalo, be- gan its preliminary inquiry into the | mortgage bond situation by hearing six witnesses identified with the Real Es- tate Bondholders' Protective Committee. Next Session January 28, The underwriters will be heard at the next session, scheduled for Jan- uary 28. Charles G. Edwards, president of the Real Estate Board and one of today's witnesses, said that $600,000,000 out of the billion dollars worth of real estate bonds issued in the metropolitan dis- trict were in default. He said the same situation existed with respect to half of the ten billion dollars’ worth of bonds issued throughout the country. “These five billion dollars of default- ed bonds” he added, “constitute that amount of frozen assets throughout the country.” Edwards also was author of the tes- timony that more than 1,000 letters were received daily by the White House on the subject, saying he re- ceived the information during a visit with President Hoover. After blaming ths underwriters, Ed- wards suggested that bond issues be placed under State regulation and that | all securities be listed on an authorized exchange which would be empowered to require publication of statements of in- come and expenses and other details to show the real status of the bonds. Other Witnesses. Other witnesses included *George E. Roosevelt, head of the Protective Com- mittee; Peter Grimm, head of the Citi- zens' Budget Commission; James M. Rosenberg, counsel to the Protective Committee; Robert E. Simon, a realty broker, and James Farmer, an attorney employed by the committee One of the principal objections voiced by the six witnesses was that under- writing hout made “deceptive” prom- ises in thefr circulars and that after the bonds were sold they continued to hold control over the properties in- volved even to the point of form- ing “interested” protecive committees through which they protected their own interest at the cxpense of the bond- holders. The witnesses said their own com- mittee represented ho'ders of $60,000.- 000 in defaulted bonds and declared | the committee itself was entirely “dise | interested.” \USE OF HIGH SCHOOL GYMS FOR BOXING HIT | Members of Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association Oppose Intercol- legiate Bouts. | The presentation of interccllegiate boxing bouts in public high school gymnasiums was condemned by mem- | bers of the Mount Pleasant Citizens Association at its meeting last night in the Mt. Pleasant branch of the Public Library. The association, however, took no action on the matter. All of the critics of the sport re- ferred to it as ‘“prize fighting,” al- though Dr. A. A. Chenay sought to point out the difference between pro- fessional, amateur and intercollegiate boxing. “There is no relation between prize fighting and intercollegiate boxing,” he an. “They use the same motions in both of them, don’t they?” an opponent of | the proposal interrupted, while many | of the members nodded approval. | “No, they're not quite the same,” Dr. Chenay replied: “the gloves are differ- ent, for in professional boxing a very light glove is worn, while in intercol- legiate bouts there is a much more heavily padded and larger glove. The professional bout has an unlimited number of three-minute rounds and the intercollegiate match is limited to only three 2-minute rounds and in- fl‘htlns is barred.” | "Dr. Chenay declared he held no par- | ticular brief for boxing, but merely | sought to set the facts straight.

POPE DECLARES YEAR OF PRAYER WILL DO HUMANITY LOT OF GOOD Papal Bull Promulgating Holy Year Beginning April 2 I Nine Film Actresses Share in Composite ‘Appealing Woman’ By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, January 14.— McClelland Barclay, magazine artist, picked his “all-type' ap- pealing” woman today from a group of nine Hollywood film stars as he departed by train for New York after a brief period of work in the film studios. Such a woman, he said, would have the walk of Kay Francis, the legs of Marlene Dietrich, the knees of Wynne Gibson, the chest and shoulders of Miriam Hopkins, the hips of Carole Lom- bard, the hands of Sylvia Sid- ney, Mae West's teeth, the lips of Helen Twelvetrees and the state- ly carriage of Elissa Landi. No woman is deserving of the description “beautiful,” he con- tended. Nor has she sex appeal. Instead, it is “type appeal” or attraction to man as based on his profession. “Claudette Colbert comes near- er to being a really beautiful woman than any other film star in Hollywood,” he said. POLICE ACCUSER CLAIS THREATS Massachusetts Legionnaire Also Alleges Effort to Buy Him Off. | By the Associated Press. FALL RIVER, Mass, Januafy 14— Joseph M. Donovan, prominent Fall River American Legionnaire, whose charges to Gov. Joseph B. Ely re- sulted in an investigation of State po- lice activities, said today that his life had been threatened. life had been threatened was true, but he would not say by whom. He said he believed, however, that the threat was a result of the charges he laid before the Governor. He also said he had been offered money to withdraw the charges, the nature of which he never has made known. Donovan, a past commander of the Fall River American Legion Post and a member of its Executive Com- mittee, laid the charges before the Governor privately. . He indicated he had agreed with the Governor not to disclose the accusations publicly. POLICE AUDIT FINISHED. BOSTON, Jznuary 14 (#)—State Auditor Prancis X. Huriey announced today that he had completed his audit of the accounts of the State Police De- partment requested by the Governor as a result of charges of irregularities. He declined to discuss the nature of his findings, however, and said they would be presented to the Governor, probably next Tuesday. The investigation ordered by the Gov- erncr resulted indirectly as a result of the trial on charges of violation of the rules of the department of two State troopers. The troopers had taken part in a raid on a Westport gambling place and, according to the charges, were of- fered a bribe of $200. Although the bribe was refused the troopers were brought up on charges of failure to re- port the incident to their superior officers. As a result of the raid a letter of complaint was forwarded to Gov. Ely by Joseph M. Donovan, an American Legion officer in Fall River, who charged numerous instances of ft and abuses in the administration of the department. Alfred E. Foote, State commissioner of public safety and head of the State police, was quoted as saying that there was no basis for the charges. CONSENSUS EXPECTS CLOSE IRISH VOTE Farmers Largely to Determine Character of Next Free State Government. By the Associated Press DUBLIN, Irish Free State, January 14.—After a week of tempestuous elec- tioneering in the Free State, the con- sensus of the political camps is that the margin of victory, whichever way it goes, will be small. Only rash prophets forecast the re- sult as the situation is complicated po- litically and is further complicated by t{xe system of proportional representa- on. Since last Sunday's disturbances thousands of meetings have been held without turbulent scenes. This is gen- erally credited to President Eamon de Valera's earnest platform appeals for free speech. One thing seems certain—that with the land annuity payments and the economic war with Britain having been made the primary issue of the election by Mr. de Valera and by former Presi- dent William T. Cosgrave, opposition leader, it is expected the vote of the farmers will largely determine the char- mnt. Referring to the land annuities today in a speech at Galway, Mr. de Valera said the British base their claim to this money on a document Mr. Cosgrave signed. document photographed and published,” he said. “It is one of lhlpflfll dis- graceful I have ever seen.” Donovan admitted a report that his FEDERATION GROUP HITS HOUSING BILL Committees Against Limited . Dividend Corporations Proposal. Three committees of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, at a joint meeting last night, decided that the present is not an opportune fine f¢f | enacting a bill creating limited-divi- | dend corporations to restore blighted residential sections of the city. A bill for that purpose, sponsored by the Washington Chapter of the Ameri- can Institute of Architects, had been | referred to the Committees on City | Planning, Public Health and Law and Legislation. The report will be made to the federation at its meeting next Saturday night. «The bill was variously attacked as socialistic, paternalistic and dangerous, and supported as a progressive step in ridding the city of its slums. Maj. Clayton Emig, chairman of the City Planning Committee, led the fight in| support of the bill, and George E. Sul- livan, chairman of the Law and Leg- | islation Committee, headed the opposi- | lon. o Speculative Building Trend. Louis Justement, representing the Architects’ Institute, said the present trend of speculative building is to erect houses on the outskirts of the city for | those in the higher income groups. The | center of the city is ignored, and its | houses fa'l into disrepair and are in- habited by tenants of successively lower strata; business creeps into old-time residential sections, and private capital will not risk the funds necessary for rehabilitation. | The bill proposes to cure this by giv- ing the limited dividend corporations the power to condemn property so that whole blocks of it lfiy be obtained for | the erection of model housing units at low rentals. The corporations would come under the control of a housing | board, in much the same manner that public utilities are controlled by the Public Utilities Commission. Many Features Attacked. | Many individual features of the bill| were attacked by committee members, and although Joseph Sanders. one of | them, tried to secure the creation of a subcommittee for further study so that | | these objectionable features could be | eliminated, Chairman Emnig was blocked in an attempt to appoint the commit- | tee. Mr. Sullivan raised a point of | order against it. This Emig overruled, | but on an appeal from his decision Sullivan was sustained. Among the features found objection- | able by the members were those pro- | hibiting the corporations from ever sell- ing the properties acquired; giving the corporations preferred treatment before the Zening Commission; paying mem- | bers of ths housing board salaries; al- lowing the housing board to collect and disburse fees with restriction, and al- lowing the housing board to appoint experts without regard to the classifi- cation or civil service acts. e | CAMPS NEAR NASHVILLE | NASHVILLE, Tenn., January 14 (#)— | The 1st U.
