DETROIT, July 6—Merton W.| Goodrich, at the end of the long flight that began last September after | the brutal slaying of 11-year-old | Lillian Gallaher, said today he was “ready to get it over with” but would | not plead until he knew the fate of his wife “I don't want to make any more trouble,” said the thin-faced con- fessed slayer. “I know I don't need a trial. but if they file charges against my wife I'll plead not guilty. | “I don't want her bothered. She is innocent.” | Goodrich, and the wife who said | she stayed with her husband after | he told her of the assault and mur- | der “because he begged me not to | leave him" were confronted today by Frank Gallaher, father of the | former trap drummer’s victim. | “I want to have a look at that | fellow.” Gallaher said. | The musician groaned and hid his | haggard face in his hands as Gallaher stared searchingly at him. The visi- tor endsd the silent, accusing scrutiny abruptly, muttered “crazy-looking guy” almost inaudibly, and went to another room to view Mrs. Goodrich. The drummer’s wife returned Gal- laher's stare momentarily, then wept. Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea said he planned to arraign Goodrich Mon- day. but that he would not decide what action to take against Mrs goodnrh‘ pending further question- g. ST.

Profiting by the mistakes of last year’s disastrous flight, this year's journey of the Explorer II of the Na- tional Geographic Society and Army Air Corps is scheduled to be “bigger and better” than any which have pre- ceded it since the first high balloon ascension was made in England in 1862 to a distance of 7 miles. The gas capacity of the new balloon ' is 3,700.000 cubic feet, instead of the 3,000.000 cubic fect of the 1934 bag: the gondola is 78 cubic feet larger, danger of accidents has been reduced by the use of stronger balloon cloth and non-explosive helium gas instead of hydrogen, and new and improved instruments will be carried to gather more accurate data over a wider ragge than was possible heretofore. Among the devices scheduled to be carried to see and record scientific data are three electroscopes and two counters to record cosmic ray ac- tivity, two barographs and two barometers to check the altitude reached, two spectrographs to analyze the light of the sky, sun and earth; one device for measuring the elec- | trical conductivity of the air, 10 cam- | eras to photograph earth, sky and readings of instrument dials, a radio | .l the readings of instrument dials; radio receiving set, sending sets for voice and code, a spore trap and hold- er, electrical thermometer, three light | meters, compasses, air specimen flasks and balloon thermometer.

The maximum height attained by a man-carrying balloon was reached early in 1934, when three Soviet avia- tors went up to 13.66 miles above the earth. They lost their lives in the crash which followed their precipi- tate descent. Last year's National Geographic-Air Corps flight was ter- minated at 11.48 miles because of the bag failure.

U.S. SILVER POLICY - BOON T0 MEXIcO Agriculture and Industry in Southern Republic Ab- sorb Labor. The administration’s silver-buying policy may be China’s sorrow, but it’s Mexican labor’s joy, according to Louis N. Morones, head of the Con- | federation Regional Obrera Mejicans, the southern republic’s counterpart of the American Federation of Labor. | Morones, making one of his periodic ; visits for conferences witn United States labor leaders, said today that the Treasury's silver price boosting has made unemployment in Mexico only an ugly word. The mines bel-w | the Rio Grande are going full” tilt, | he said. The condition thus produced, Mo- rones explained, has made it possible | for Mexican agriculture and industry | to absorb native laborers displaced | in this country by the depression. Requires Translator. Morones, a plump, genial, yet serious | individual, must talk through a trans- | lator despite his numerous visits to | the United States. He has been head | of the confederation: or crom, as it is called, since its establishment in 1917. From 1924 to 1928 he was Mexico's secretary of labor. As leader | of Mexican organized labor he di- | rects an organization with a mem- | bership of 315,000. Improvement of the working con- | ditions in Mexican labor in the United States is Morones’ chief con- | cern. He believes his countrymen in | United States fields, mines and con- | struction industries are poorly paid | and worked overlong, more so even | than the most exploited of American | laborers. A contrary condition =-x|sl.s} {in Mexico, he said. There United States workmen “are much better off than if they had the same employ- ment in their own country.” Morones asserted. Mopping his dark brow for pho- tographers, “whose friendly tyranny is difficult to escape,” and displaying a bright monogram on his shirt breast, | | Morones said he was urging all Mexi- | can workers in this country to join the American Federation of Labor and i Like watches—diame teeth and old. discarded jew: For over 50 years we have buving old gold and paying SPOT CASH.

Asked if he were opposed to Moxi- cans leaving their country to find work in the United States and if he favored their return, Morones said: “Personally, I believe in the right of workers to go where they please and I would never resist their going.
