U.5:-DU PONT SUIT CURBEDBY RULING “You'’re Going Too Far,” Says Disney in Ruling Out Mrs. Raskob Deals. By the Assoctated Press NEW YORK, May 15.—Pierre 8 du Pont’s 1931 stock transactions with Mrs. John J. Raskob were ruled out of the 1929 income tax case against Du Pont and John J. Raskob yester- day, curtailing the Government's ef fort to prove the two multi-million- aires made fictitious cross-sales of stock after the Wall Street panic to reduce their income tax payments. Richard L. Disney of the United States Board of Tax Appeals barred the Du Pont-Mrs. Raskob transaction from the record and remarked to Mason B. Leming, the chief of Gov- ernment counsel: “I think you're going just a little mo far.” The Government, however, was out financial matters between Raskob | and Du Pont in 1931. L. J. Schwartz, an associate Gov- ernment counsel, said Disney’s ruling on the 1931 transaction between Mrs. Raskob and Du Pont would also keep | out several other cross-sales which the Government had hoped to enter into evidence. “We should finish our side of the Du Pont case early Monday,” Schwartz | said. James S. Y. Ivins, chief counsel for | Du Pont, said he would probably open his side of the case with the elderly | titular head of the wealthy Delaware family as the first witness, Du Pont and Raskob obtained a severance of their cases and Du Pont's is being heard first. Both of them, however, have been side by side in the hearing room, in the old Post Office Building, since the entering of evi- dence began Monday of last week. After the argument over the admis- | sability of the Du Pont-Mrs. Raskob S other relatives | 2 T | transactions, and Disney’s ruling, the hearing was adjourned over the week end, The Government contends the cross- sales of securities in November and December, 1929, which enabled the two industrialists to establish losses 1| of more than $7,000,000 on their re- . | Government seeks I HE; A ROTH; | husbang of Faisle A.

P. A. Program Inadequate for Needs of Nation, Teachers’ College Is Told. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May Hopkins, Works Progress adminis- trator, said today the public educa- tional facilities in the United States “have fallen a long way short of meet- ing the educational needs of adults.” In an address at Teachers’ College, Columbia University, Hopkins said, “We thought that by concentrating on the young we could develop an edu- cated Nation, and it seems to me that Wwe were wrong.” “It is impossible,” he continued, “to | crowd into the few years of elementary | and secondary schooling all the train- ing and knowledge needed to under- stand our complicated and changing social system. “‘Under the W. P. A. we have tried to make a beginning in the develop- | ment of a broad program of social | 15—Harry L. education which would meet the in- | terests and needs of adults—a program which would aim to make education fit the needs of industrial democracy, which would take care of some of the countless numbers of people who are either too young or too old to be taken care of by our public schools. We don't claim by any means to have es- tablished an adequate program.” JEALOUS WOMAN FIRES OLD TEMPLE IN JAPAN By the Assoclated Press.

GASSAWAY, GASSAWAY DIES OF HEART ATTACK Former House Member Ridi- culed Long’s Plan to Share the Wealth. By the Associated Press, COALGATE, Okla., May 15.—Percy L Gassaway, Oklahoma's former “Cowboy Congressman,” died at 8 a.m. today in an ambulance en route to Ada after suffering a heart attack at his ranch home near here, He was 51 years old. Gassaway, whose cowboy hat, high boots and Western mannerisms be- came widely known in Washington, was defeated for re-election last No- vember by Lyle Boren of Seminole, Gassaway was a leader in Demo- cratic politics in Southeastern Okla- homa and was a former district judge. During his one term in Congress he ridiculed the late Senator Huey P. Long's “share-the-wealth” plan. Gas- saway proposed facetiously that 10.000 ‘Gassaway plans” clubs be established to lobby for a $10,000 annual income for each head of a family, against $5,000 mentioned by the Louisiana Senator. As a district judge, Gassaway sen- tenced a Negro to death, then went to the penitentiary to watch the exe- cution in the Oklahoma electric chair. “I enjoyed myself very much,” he said. “I am always glad to witness an execution, because it gives me greater confidence in men.” He witnessed 11, Gassaway suffered the heart attack shortly after arising this morning. Members of the family said he had suffered several light attacks pre- viously, but none was serious. He had recently spent most of his time work- ing on the ranch and practicing law. Surviving are his widow, three sons, and three daughters. 'ARMY PLANS RITES FOR MAJ. GEN. CLEM “Boy Drummer of Chicamauga to Be Buried in Arlington Cemetery Tuesday.

TENANCY AIDFUND CUT HELD LIKELY Farm Measure May Be Re- duced to $20,000 Instead of $135,000,000. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt's desire for farm tenancy aids on a ‘“skeleton scale” ralsed discussion today of cutting the proposed $135,000,000 fund to only $20,000,000 of $50,000,000. Chairman Jones of the House Agri- culture Committee, sponsor of the original measure, said he would rather Put off alding tenants until next year than set up a small-scale program. He added, however, he expected to discuss tenancy and other farm prob- lems with the President before his committee acts. House consideration of these meas- .| ures has been deferred by the current economy campaign. Possible Reductions. Members of the Agriculture Com- mittee suggested the President’s demand for cutting the cost of the program might be met as follows: For low-interest loans to aid ten- ants and share-croppers in buying farms: $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 in- stead of $50,000,000. For Government purchase of sub- marginal lands: $10,000,000, the amount proposed in the original bill. For rehabilitation loans to low- income farmers for purchase of sup- plies and equipment: Nothing. In- stead of setting up & special $75,000,- 000 fund for this purpose, members suggested such loans might be made out of relief funds. New Act May Be Discussed. Leaders of major farm organizations met today to discuss a new agricul- tural adjustment act, proposed by the Executive Council of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Edward A. O'Neal, president of the federation, declared the bill expressed “100 per cent” President Roosevelt's | aim to avoid extreme highs and lows in farm prices. Details of the proposal were not made public, but O'Neal said its aims would be accomplished through Gov- ernment loans on crops and a penalty tax on farmers Who produce more than their quota, GIRL-WIFE DISAPPEARS: MARITAL RIFT INDICATED Young Husband Convinced She Has Gone to New York With $34 of Savings.
