SENATORS HEAR 0.6, CVICCROUPS Subcommittee Handling Supply Bill Addressed by Local Workers. BY J. A. O’LEARY. ‘The Senate Subcommitte handling the District appropriation bill today began hearing individuals and civic organizations. In the first group of witnesses was Representative Ellenbogen of Penn- sylvania, who asked the Senate to require the District government to make a $175,000 contribution to the local unemployment compensation fund during the coming fiscal year. The District unemployment law called for a contribution from the city in addition to the taxes paid by em- ployers, but the House decided that, with the employer taxes coming in steadily, there is no need for the municipal contribution. The House committee also pointed out “that the several States are not asking a simi- lar contribution.” Former Representative Blanton of Texas appeared with a delegation of per diem workers to protest a House proviso that would deprive per diem employes of sick and annual Jeave. There are 3,300 employes affected by the House rider, which provides that per diem personnel hereafter could be paid only for days they work. Although they are paid on a per diem basis, about 2,000 of the total num- ber are permanently employed. N. P. Alifas, president of District Local, No. 44, International Asso- ciation of Machinists, also went be- fore the subcommittee today to plead for restoration of the leave benefits of the per diem employes. Before beginning to call civic and other groups, the subcommittee heard Police Court Judges John P. Me- Mahon and Edward Curran on a mi- nor change in the section of the budget relating to that court. With more than 100 requests for hearings from civic and trade or- ganizations, it probably will be next week before the Senate subcommittee ceases its hearings and begins to vote on proposed changes in the House measure, which carired a total of $45,228,000.

Scattered comment on Capitol Hill, concerning itself with both the bill and the President’s message which preceded introduction of the measure, | followed party lines about as usual. Senator McNary of Oregon, Repub- | lican leader, commended the tone of the message, but added that it sounded | like “more Government in business Senator Norris, Nebraska independ- ent, termed the message ‘“very fine.” Most vigorous criticism came rmm‘ the House, where Representative Snell | of New York, minority leader, com- megged: “I am certainly surprised, in view of the President's speech last Fall, | that we have progressed any further , In recovery than he states in his mes- ‘ sage. Where's the great progress he's been talking about?" Representative Taber of New York, | @ vigorous foe of the administration, declared the proposed bill “is another | attempt to regiment the people and | throw thousands out of employment. | When the President’s plan is thor- | oughly understood it will be recog- nized as one of the administration’s | most reactionary proposals.” —_— LOST.

BAINBRIDGE, Ga., May 25.—A mob seized the body of a colored suspect in the killing of two white women, dragged it through the streets to & base ball park last night and burned it. The man had been slain by officers who said he attempted to escape while on the way to jail at Albany. “I'm mighty sorry to see this happen,” Sheriff W. J. Catledge said He did not disclose any plans for an investigation. Catledge said Willie Reed, 20, con- fessed killing Mrs. Ruby Hurst, 30, and ards and mutilitating with a “hackcutter,” a tool used in his work as a turpentine tapper. Catledge said Reed also admitted rav- ishing the younger woman. Reed was captured at Bothan, Ala., and after he was killed officers described as an attempt to break from their automobile, body was brouhgt to a colored fune- ral home. A mob estimated at more than 100 their bodies men rushed the establishment, seized | the body and tied it behind an auto- mobile. Twice around the main square went |8 caravan of some 50 automobiles, | one of them dragigng the body. Then a tour was made of the town's col- | ored district, winding up at the ball park, where a section of fence was used to make a pyre that sent flames leaping 20 feet high around the body. 0’CONNELL BETTER AFTER OPERATION Farley Aide Under Knife in Chicago for Appendicitis Last Night.
