THE EVENING k M[HURMAN GWES Cash for Compliance Backs Ever-Normal Granary Measure CLUE IN MURDER Ruddy-Faced Man Boarded | Car Near Scene After Doc- tor Was Killed, He Says. BACKGROUND— Just as he was about to enter his Providence home early last Friday morning, Dr. George T. Webster, well-to-do obstetrician whose clienteie consisted of the wealthier classes of the city, was fatally wounded by two bullets in his back. Crawling to the phone he sum- moned aid. When help came, he refused to talk until he had been taken care of at the hospital. But before the doctors could finish their work and he could be asked about the crime, he died. He had re- assured questioners he would tell them all about it. By the Associated Press. | PROVIDENCE, R. I, July 22.—| Following a faint trail in the Webster | murder mystery, detectives today in- | vestigated the story of a street car | motorman that he picked up a ruddy faced man a short time after Dr. | George Webster was mortally wounded | {n his home | The motorman, Patrick Mills, said | he picked up the man within walking distance of Webster's home and near the spot a boy found a box of cart- ridges for a gun of the same caliber as the weapon with which Webster was slain early last Friday The inquiry turned from Boston to Pawtucket as metropolitan police an- nounced they quickly had abandoned | the theory that three men sought | for a jewel robbery had any connec- | tion with the Webster slaying | Police said the motorman told them his sole passenger got off at the Pawtucket-Providence city line. He | described the passenger as about 5 feet 8 inches tall. weighing abotu | 150 pounds. of ruddy complexion, wearing a striped blue suit and a straw hat Trail of Bullets Ends. The box of cartridges from which | three were missing was found by 12- year-old John Hanly, jr. beneath a| porch not far from the street corner at which the motorman said his un- known passenger boarded the street car about 20 minutes after Webster | phened police from his home to say he had been shot. Police made a futile examination } of the cartridges for fingerprints, traced them from the manufacturer to a Boston sporting goods house Where the trail ended, and then de- cided to turn them over to Capt. Charles Van Amburgh, Boston bal- listics expert The obstetrician was. shot twice on his doorstep with a .45-caliber auto- matic pistol, but a search of catch basins and shrubbery in the district | has been fruitless, Deputy Supt. | James J. Cusick said He said police have singled out no Euspect Suspects Cleared. | Early today the police spotlight | shifted momentarily to Boston, where | Jice announced that three men | wanted for robbing a Rhode Island | woman of $6.000 in jewelry at a | Boston hotel were also wanted for | questioning in the Webster case. Police threw eight detectives into the search, but later the Bureau of Criminal Investigation decided, after questioning the robbery victim, that the men could have no connection | with the Webster slaying Police | Bergt. Mortimer J. O'Connor, who | questioned the woman, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Williams of Narragansett Pier, R I, did not disclose what had caused the belief the accused jewelry rob- bers might know about the Webster case FACES ASSAULT CHARGE PITTSBURGH, July 22 (#).—The general manager of the Heppenstall Co. faced charges today of assault and battery of a picket in forcing his way into the company’s plant. | The complaint against C. W. Hep- penstall, jr., manager and son of the | owner, was filed with Alderman Frank T. Halloran by Patrick Connors. Harry Colicher, president of local union of the Amalgamated Association | farmers and a stable food supply for | system. Each farm would be given (Chairman Jones, Democrat, of Texas, of the House Agriculture Committee, has asked Congress to enact a broad program to sta- bilize farm prices through an “ever-normal "granary system. The Jollowing questions and answers outline his bill's major provisions.) By the Associated Press. How would the Jones bill try to es- tablish “fair prices and incomes for consumers?” By regulating the flow of farm products to market under a quota an acreage and marketing allotment of such major products as wheat, corn, rice, cotton and tobacco. What would be done with surplus crops—the portion not needed for domestic consumption and export? They would be stored in granaries for release in years of crop failures, thus keeping the supply “ever normal.” Sponsors say such storage would tend to stabilize prices for the benefit of both producer and consumer. Would farmers be required to com- ply with acreage and marketing quotas? No, but those who did not comply would be denied cash benefit pay- ments under the existing soil conser- vation act and other payments that might be authorized. How would surplus products find their way into the granary? The Secretary of Agriculture could require farmers receiving cash benefits to store up to 20 per cent of their crops. Loans would be allowed on the stored portion. How would stored surpluses be re- leased in poor crop years? By calling in the loans. It is pre- STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1937. sumed that most farmers would place on the market such stored products to obtain funds to retire loans. Processing Tax Provided. Suppose surpluses filled granary needs; what steps would be taken to bring production in line with con- sumption? Processing taxes would be levied on the major crops. Funds 1aised by these taxes would be usea to increase benefit payments to farmers complying with acreage and marketing quotas. In what other ways is the bill de- signed to help farmers? It authorizes the Secretary to help farmers obtain lower freight 1ates on Rid thehomeofthese pests quickly and surely.
