A—6 *» CROWDS THREATEN BATHTUB SLAYER Porter Jailed to Await Trial February 1 in Murder. of Mrs. Case. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 15.—With the threatening cries of screaming ‘women still ringing in his ears, Major Greene, 33-year-old colored man, was behind bars today awaiting trial Feb- ruary 1 for the bath tub slaying of Mrs. Mary Robinson Case. The wiry porter, who, authorities said, had signed a complete confes- sion, was sullen and seemingly un- moved last night as detectives led him {rom Queens County Court, where he pleaded innocent before Judge John 8. Colden. Outside a noisy crowd of spectators, most of them women, surged toward the prisoner when he appeared under heavy police guard. “Lynch him!” the crowd cried. “He’s no good! He ought to be hung! the chair’s too good for you!” Greene threw up his unmanacled hand to shield himself. They attempted to pummel him with umbrellas, sticks and pocketbooks, but most of the blows fell on the shoulders of detectives, who swarmed around to elbow him unharmed to the Queens County Jail, 200 yards away. The arraignment was completed only 72 hours after Mrs. Case’s stran- gled and beaten body was found by her husband, Frank Case, 30, in an overflowing bath tub in their Jackson Heights, Queens, apartment. Greene confessed, District Attorney Charles P. Sullivan said, that he had come to the apartment to steal when he attacked Mrs. Case and felled her with a hammer.

Time for Full Discussion. “There is time for full considera- tion and discussion of the extension of the loaning powers of the R. F. C. and of the Electric Home and Farm Authority,” saild Byrd, reminding his colleagues that “we were informed at the beginning of this session that ample opportunity would be given for debate on all measures.” Senator Byrd won applause from his colleagues when he made it clear that he was in no way criticizing the administration of Jesse Jones, chai man of the R. F. C., but was “dis- cussing the extension of emergency agencies of government in relation to an effective reorganization.” “Why extend these five emergency agencies until July 1, 1939, if the re- organization is to be made effective sooner?” Byrd asked. One of the most difficult problems in reorganization Byrd insisted, is to determine whether emergency func- tions should be made permanent. He argued that this decision should be made by Congress as Congress created these agencies, and that Congress should say ‘“’whether functions re- garded as proper during the emer- gency should be frozen into the gen- eral structure of the Government.” Must Wait Till July 1, 1938. He pointed out that reorganization, whether accomplished by the Presi- dent or by Congress, cannot be effece tive until July 1, 1938, because the budget now before Congress “provides for no economies for the year begin- ning July 1 next.” He summarized his opposition to the Glass resolution as follows: 1. It extends those emergency activ- fties for two and a half years, and this applies, not only to the R. F. C., but to the other five emergency agencies. 2. If this resolution is passed, it will mean that the other 14 emergency agencies will without doubt be given the same status and reorganization likely deferred until July 1, 1939. “The only time to abolish a bureau or agency is on the date of its termina- tion,” he declared. “If continued, such agencies will remain indefinitely among the functions of our Govern- ment.” Byrd said he was further opposed to the resolution because there is no necessity for haste or extension of at least three of the agencies involved and that each one of these emergency agencies should stand on merit and aot be covered by the cloak of popu- larity of the chairman of the R. F. C. Earlier the Senate leadership had arraned to send President Roosevelt's reorganization recommendation to an- other committee than the Reorganiza- tion Committee headed by Byrd.

Legislation sponsored by this new committee will have privileged status, the same as measures from the Ap- propriations and Ways and Means Committee. Similar special authority was granted tq the Economy Commit- tee several years ago. Economy and Efficiency. Chairman O'Connor of the Rules Committee in charge of the two reso- lutions before the House yesterday said he “hoped the work of reorganization might be done in the next two or three months” and that “substantial econ- omy will result” as well as to promote | & more efficient administrative struc- ture. He emphasized that “costs of Government has increased more than the entire cost of relief,” and was vig- orously applauded when he said that “temporary” agencies should be made to be true to their name, but he had never yet seen a really “temporary” | governmental agency. He emphasized that the new special committee was found to be the best way to handle the President’s reorgan- ization recommendations as a com- plete job instead of dividing them up among a number of standing commit- tees. Representative Joseph W. Martin, Republican, of Massachusetts, rank- ing Republican member of the Rules Committee, said the Republican mem- bership was not opposing the resolu- tions because it desires to “give the majority a full chance to bring about economy, if it can.” He intimated that he considered an effort is being made to absorb a number of so-called “temporary” agencies ‘into the per- manent Government organization.

NAVY BAND ORCHESTRA FEATURES SYMPHONY Lieut. Benter Presents “Symphony No. 1 in E Minor,” by Finnish lutci, Jan Sibelius. Anmmu to the agreeable policy of including a compléte sym- phony among the concert presenta- tions at the Sail Loft Lieut. Charles Benter and the Navy Band Symphony Orchestra last night featured the “Symphony No. 1 in E Minor” of the contemporary Finnish master, Jan Sibelius. In this composition, the harmonic and rhythmical structure of which stamps the composer as & modern un- der noticeable influence of the old school, the orchestra exhibited its in- terpretive powers with perhaps the most aplomb displayed this season. The major themes, distinctly Slavonic in character (acknowledged as the Tschaikovski influence), as well as the secondary Finnish flavorings, were brought out with balanced emphasis, thereby properly characterizing the individuality of the composer. This work with its typically masterful Sibelius orchestration is exacting and encompassing in its scope of the or- chestra. Virtually every section, as well as several solo instruments, have prominent passages throughout to tax the ability of the musicians—the nostalgic andante suddenly released into a nervous scherzo tempo out- burst; the energetic and complicated scherzo, allegro, and the climactic £nal movement personified by three separate surges of power subsiding to calm and conclusion. Ambroise Thomas’ overworked “Mig- SOL HERZOG, INC. | non” overture from the Frenchman's chief operatic success was a bright opening, which preceded Rubinstein’s dreamy “Kamenoi-Ostrev.” An Amer- ican tang depicting cowboys and don- keys, “On the Trail” (Ferde Grofe, of course, from his “Grand Canyon Suite”) was rendered in the tradi- tional light concert manmer. Lieut. Benter procured a delectable arrange- ment of “Tales from Vienna Woods™ and forthwith added to his popularity. —J. 8. e “BLACK LEGION” SHOWN FOR CONGRESS GROUP Warners' Surprise Hit Inspired by Terrorist Activities in Middle West. | L invitational pre-showing for a distinguished audience composed largely of members of Congress and their guests, “Black Legion,” Warner Bros. “dark horse” that surprised the producing company as much as any one else, was screened last night in the Department of Commerce Audi- torium. ‘The picture, inspired by the revela- tion of terrorist activities in the Mid- dle West, was presented under the RESORTS. &?H_NTIC CITY, N.

Both Robinson and Minority Lead- er McNary are members of the pres- ent Byrd Committee. When Byrd was asked if his committee would act on the President’s proposals, he replied: “That is not for us to say.” Byrd is opposed to the President’s proposals for two nmew cabinet posts and an increase in cabinet salaries. He also is particularly set against abolition of the controller general's office. This agency was set up as dis- tinct from the executive branch of the Government and made responsi- ble and accountable only to Congress, as its particular audit agent. Minority Leader Snell, in the House late yes- terday, also announced the Republican opposition to this proposal.
