FRANK DISMISSAL LEGISLATIVESSUE Several Bills Seek Curb of Appointive Powers of La Follette. B3 the Assoclated Press. MADISON, Wis., January 13.—The ‘Wisconsin Legislature assembled today for its sixty-third regular session with some members determined te make an issue of Dr. Glenn Frank's recent dismissal from the University of Wis- consin presidency. Legislators in both Democratic and Republican ranks have proposed an investigation of the Frank ouster and several bills have been drafted which would reorganize the university Board of Regents to take some of the ap- pointive power from Gov. Philip F. La Follette. Gov. La Follette’s colleagues have assured him he will control the As- sembly, although members of his Pro- gressive party lack a majority in either house. 2 Few Senate Votes Needed. In the Senate he needs only one or | two extra votes for control. Whether | these could be found leaders said, | depended partly upon legislative re- | action to the Frank dismissal, which was voted by La Follette-appointed | Tegents. The Governor returned yesterday | from Washington, where he conferred with President Roosevelt on unem- ployment and relief problems. | The Governor has announced he will sponsor a plan of public works to ab- sorb common labor and clerical groups | that have not found jobs through Fed- | eral or private agencies. Republican leaders in both Houses | beckoned to Democratic members to | form a coalition which might exercise control over all La Follette measures. Liberal Democrats, who claimed the lJeaders of their regular State Commit- tee were not in accord with the pro- gram of President Roosevelt, recently #et out to prevent any kind of agree- | ment with Republican legislators.

PHOTOGRAPHS CENSUS RECORDS Films Expected to Be of Great Value in Social Security Age Disputes. Microscopic names on motion pic- ture films stored in the files of the Census Bureau may prove a deciding factor in - future disputes over the age of applicants for social security benefits. To meet the anticipated demand for proof of age in connection with benefits, the bureau has started copy- ing on film the 50,000,000 names re- corded in the 1,024 volumes of the census of 1880. Use of the films not only will provide a lasting, easily consulted record, but will reduce file volumes t® one-twentieth the bulk required for ordinary records. Batteries of specially built automatic photographic printers have been in- stalled in the Commerce Department Building and now are at work reducing millions of pages of deteriorating paper records to tiny rolls of film. At the same time, machines of a different type were set to work recording the 76,000,000 names in the 1900 census, contained on 33,000,000 file cards. The census reports of 1880 and 1900 contain the facts expected to be of the greatest value to people attempting to qualify for benefits under the new soclal security act. The volumes of the 1890 census have been destroyed by fire and water. ‘The volumes of the 1880 and 1900 counts form the only documentary evidence of the birth of many Amer- icans, since . registration of births by local authorities was not general prior to 1915. Copying of the records by photog- raphy will preserve the original docu- | ments of the human history of the | sidered offering $5,000 more. Federal Bureau of investigation agents investigated every report, no matter how slight its apparent con- | nection with the kidnaping. Two newsstand operators and & asked that bills following the Roose- | gation opportunity to capture the sus- | service station man who reported a | velt pattern be accepted by Democrats regardless of origin. Because of the uncertainty of the legislative line-up and the last-minute | preparation of his program, Gov. La | Follette, who is serving his third term, did not plan a formal message to the | Legislature at the outset. He said he would upset tradition by giving the Jawmakers an informal talk and would present his program piecemeal. Party organization caucuses were held last night. The Assembly session | was called fer noon today. LEGAL COUNSEL PICKED | LINCOLN, Nebr., January 13 (#).— The Nebraska one-house Legislature | named itself the Nebraska State Sen- ! ate yesterday by a vote of 31 to 4. | The Legislature employed Dean Louis J. Te Poel of Creighton Uni- | versity and Robert Van Pelt as legal | counselors at $25 per legislative day. Charles A. Dafoe, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said the Legis- lature “can save money for the tax- pavers by hiring the kind of legal | counsel we ought to have.” BILLF mit, ofher_identification Eiotral reward.

He was "described, however, as 60, older than the age generally attributed to the kidnaper: The search was as intense as it was wide, Federal agents checking from house to house in the Tacoma area. Possess Definite Clues. Department of Justice operatives kept secret whether they sought one or two men for the brutal crime, but | they had definite clues to guide them toward the man who played the prin- cipal role. Known clues guiding the hunt were the physical description of the kid- | naper; the peculiar ink and type used in the ransom note; the same pe- culiarities repeated and, possibly, handwriting, in two letters to Dr. Mattson; a plaster-of-paris cast of his sock-covered shoes, tire prints of | an automobile used to carry the body of the boy and the peculiarities of the killer's personality. Searchers sought a man who an- swered this description: Weight, 145 pounds; height, 5 feet 7 inches; complexion, swarthy; hair, black; beard, black; eyes, brown; speech, with slight accent; voice, deep; age, about 38; when last seen he wore dark trousers, a blue blazer and a light cap. Authorities suggested that in all cases of suspects investigators obtain, if possible, samples of the man's handwriting, his fingerprints and his shoeprints. They said the man might be show- ing great fear, possibly so much his | speech would be incoherent and his | actions irrational. [ | Missouri State highway patrolmen | prepared casts of the shoes of the unidentified man found frozen to death yesterday near Kingdom, Mo. The man leaped from a Transconti- nental bus there Monday night. . At Indianapolis, Thomas Bridges, a county employe, said he believes the body is that of his uncle, Thomas Bridges, 76, formerly of Rensselaer, Ind. Bridges said his uncle had ob- tained an old-age pension at Rens- selaer. Dispatches from Fulton said a handbag believed to have been left on a bus by the man contained an old- age pension blank bearing the name Thomas Bridges and also several let- ters signed by a daughter, Edith Barker, of Kelso, Wash. (Officers investigating the abduc- tion of 10-year-old Charles took casts of footprints at the snow-covered, brushy spot where the boy's nude body was found.) The kidnaper was known to be brutal, reckless upon occasion, as in the actual kidnaping, and yet exceed- ingly wary, as in ransom negotiations. He was at least eccentric, as shown in his demand for $28,000 ransom. Possibly his fingerprints were found on the ransom note, letters, the door he broke in the kidnaping December 27 or on' the body of the boy. Rewards Total $11,000. Hunt for the man was spurred’ by $11,000 in rewards offered for his capture, the brutality of the crime, the temper of Tacomans and Presi~ dent Roosevelt’s order to use every available means to bring him to Justice. The Federal Department of Justice offered $10,000 reward for arrest of ‘. man might be “dangerously insane.” | HOOVER BACK IN D. C, Resumes Charge of Hunt for Mattson | Kidnaper. J. Edgar Hoover, Federal Bureau of Investigation chief, returned to the Capital last night to resume general charge of Federal agents searching for | the killer of little Charles Mattson.

Two Judges Issue Warrants, ‘The warrants, charging kidnaping, | he plans to ask Congress to investigate General Motors and said the strike will be “fought to a finish.” | Lewis proposed that Congress in- vestigate the financial structure of the corporation, salaries paid its execu- tives, company earnings, the relation- ship between it and the Du Pont fam- | ily, the Flint riot and the Michigan judiciary. He also said he wants Congress to certain whether “foreign financiers should dictate labor policy in Amer- ica,” whether General Motors main- tains “arsenals,” whether it has en- gaged a strike-breaking agency and | whether Knudsen and Alfred P. Sloan, | president, are “mere office boys.” Closings and curtailments of General Motors plants scheduled for today will leave 113,800 employes idle by tonight. Disorders Held Provoked. Martin said in a statement tele- | phoned from Washington Monday night’s violence in Flint was “delib- | erately provoked for the purpose of | dispossessing the sit-down strikers by vicious destruction of property while | | rioting, felonious assault and criminal | syndicalism, were issued by two Mu- | | nicipal Court judges here last night. The warrants were signed by Detective Lieut. Ray Martin and issued by Judges Edwin D. Mallory and Frank W. Cain. Before the Governor asked that service of them be delayed, Sherift | Thomas W. Wolcott had said it would begin within 24 to 48 hours. Wolcott said the kidnap charge was | based on alleged seizure of company guards by the strikers during the riot. While the 126th Infantry of the National Guard was arriving here Gov. Murphy revealed that three other regi- ments were being mobilized. He said this would make approximately 2,000 troops available for duty in this in- dustrial community of 165,000. The other regiments are the 119th Field Artillery, the 106th Cavalry and the 125th Infantry. The first group of infantrymen to reach Flint—the 126th—came from Western Michigan cities. The Field Artillery personnei is from the Lansing area, and the cavalrymen are scattered over the State. Infantry Kept Ready. It was indicated that the 125th In- fantry would not be brought into Flint immediately, but kept in readiness at home. Its units are stationed in De- troit, Pontiac, Saginaw, Bay City and Flint, In addition, several medical and hospital units were already here or preparing to come. “This movement of nearly 2,000 men is to demonstrate that the State will be supreme,” Murphy said. “The troops will see that property is not damaged, that there is no rioting, that no persons are endangered and that the laws are obeyed. The Na- tional Guard was not sent to scare any one.” Gov. Murphy,. saying that the par- ties to the labor crisis had failed to get together because of objections raised by each, declared ihat it was the State’s duty to bring them to- gether because of the great numbers affected by the strike and its result- ant factory closings. In letters to Knudsen and Martin the Governor said: “For the purpose of conferring without condition or prejudice in an endeavor to find a basis for an agree- ment, tentative or otherwise * * * I am requesting that you meet with me in my office at Lansing Thursday at 11 am.” Opposes Further Disorder. Murphy mentioned “the unfortu- nate situation at Pint" and told the A violent means.” - “The police had no legal right to assist General Motors in efforts to | interfere with the strikers’ occu- pancy of the plants and to dispossess them by forcible means,” he declared. “Their duty is to preserve the peace and not to provoke interference with .the peaceful group of workers, in a way tending to provoke disorder and bloodshed. The Flint police have violated the law and their oath of office by engaging in a private ente: prise with companay-hired thugs. He said General Motors had “im- ported professional thugs.” WALK-OUT IN ST. LOUIS. C. Walk-Out Fails to Halt Assembly Operations. ST. LOUIS, January 13 (#).—Mem- bres of the United Automobile Work- ers of America went on strike today at General Motors’ Chevrolet-Fisher Body plant, but their walk-out did not stop operations. Delmond Garst, secretary of the St. Louis local of the union, esti- | mated 3,000 workers had gone on strike. He said they had decided against a “stay-in” demonstration in the belief they could shut down the plant by remaining outside. Vincent M. Dirkes, manager of the Pisher Body division, issued a state- ment the plants would continue to operate as long as possible. He said 1,000 of his unit’s 2,275 employes had reported for work and one assembly line was being operated. No statement was avallable from Philip Baugh, manager of the Chev- rolet division, which employes ap- proximately 2,000 men. DENTISTRY DR.

COLORED SUSPECT - DENIES' SLAYING Police Reveal Evidence Link- ing Porter to Bathtub Murder. By the Assoclated Press, NEW YORK, January 13.—Calm and unruffied, Major Greene, 33, squat, powerful-framed Harlem colored man, maintained an air of “amiable” denial today as detectives sought a confession for the bath tub slaying of pretty Mrs. Mary (Bobby) Case, 25-year-old Jun- ior League housewife. Arrested late last night in a Man- hattan bar, within 36 hours after the bludgeoned and strangled body of Mrs. Case was discovered in the bath tub of her Jackson Heights apartment, Greene blandly shook his head when confronted with link after link of evi- dence which District Attorney Charles P. Sullivan planned to present to the Queens County grand jury tomorrow. ‘The evidence included: 1. Whorl-patterned blood smears, tracked throughout the Case apart- ment, which police fingerprint experts identified as tallying with Greene's prints. 2. A blood-stained pair of trousers, found in the basement incinerator of the apartment building where Greene was employed as a porter. Police said the trousers belonged to Greene. Stained Shirt Included. 3. A crimson-stained shirt, which police said Greene had sent to a New York laundry. | 4. A clean shirt, formerly the prop- erty of Frank Case, 30, Cornell Uni- | | versity graduate, husband of the slain | | woman, which police said Greene was wearing when arrested. No immediate charge was placed against Greene, but District Attorney Sullivan said he would be booked for ing. | Meanwhile, police were puzzled over 1 the motive for the slaying. Greene had | | was reappointed by President Roose- | been accused of burglarizing the Case apartment a year ago and been ex- onerated, police said, and may have harbored resentment. At the same time, investigators found it difficult with such a crime. | Also held as material witnesses in the case were Henry Greene, 30, a brother of the suspect, and Frank Viola, 27, alias Francisco Tateano, 27, a fireman in the apartment building. Toxicologist Reports, | Assistant District Attorney James Loccisano said 40 other witnesses would be brought before the grand jury. Among the new evidence brought to light today was a report by the city toxicologist, who said that among 13 strands of human hair found clutched in the victim’s lifeless hands and under her fingernails was one tiny shred one-eighth of an inch in length, which was identified as negroid. The other strands apparently belonged to Mrs Case. | Greene's arrest came a few hours after the body of the attractive house- wife had been taken to Lancaste:, Pa, for burial in the city where she was married November 23 1935. Fu- neral services are to be held there tomorrow. | The grief-stricken husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William J. Rob- | inson, and Mrs. Douglas Williams of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., a sister of Case, accompanied the body. | Mrs. Case waged a fierce battle with her assailant in the tiny kitchen of her apartment before he strangled and crushed her skull with a ham- mer. ‘The intruder fled after dumping her body into the bathtub which he covered with a sheet, stopping the drain and turning on the water. Husband's Suit Taken. With him, police said, he took a blue suit belonging to Case and the shirt which, police said, Greene was wearing at the time of his arrest. Detective James Sullivan said po- lice learned yesterday, while Greene was being questioned, that the Negro's fingerprints tallied with prints on the blood-smeared bath room woodwork. Greene was released and detectives followed him. Sullivan said Greene's trail led to a pawn shop, where he attempted to dispose of clothing. Johnson, police said, later offered to sell & blue suit to two Negroes, and also took a bloody shirt to a laundry. The garment was seized as evidence immediately. Officers said they learned from Henry Greene that his brothér had taken a gray suit to a tailor for al- terations. They said this suit was identified as having been stolen from | the Case home when it was looted sev- eral months ago. ERVIN druggist.
