WOMAN LAWYER
BARS PRESS

Police Court felt its first feminine
touch today when Mrs. Rebecca
Greatfouse, first female assistant
District Attorney assigned to the
court, took the unprecedente stand
by one in her office of denying
audience TO the press.
Hereafter all prohibition cases
win be conducted in utmost secrecy
as far as Mrs. Greathouss Is con-
cerned. she let it be heralded
broadly today.
Ever since Volstead came into his
own. making it necessary to or.
ganize a special staff of dry
prosecutors for the Government. 1t
has been the custom Of attorneys to
give out details Of important CASES
to the public.
When Mrs. Greathouse today sr-
nounced her stand OF giving out
no information, she told one news
paper man it was only his pleas
ing smile that prompted her to
speak to him at all.
1t could not be learned whether
or not Mrs. Greathouse had been
instructed by her superior, United
states Attorney Peyton Gordon. to
conduct her public affairs in
secrecy.

MORE CONFESSIONS IN
 MURDER CASE ARE READ
Third of Series Alleged Made by Boston Boy Bandits is In-
 trOduCed.

Boston. June Il (PD-The third Of series Of confessions made by three youths on trial for the murder Of Patrolman Frank J. Comeau of the Boston police was read 10 the jury in superior court today.

CLOSE VOTE SURE
 ON FARM MEASURE
Senate Turns Against EquaIiZa-
 ton Fee Plan

Washington, June II LP' - The senate tide apparently has turned against the equalization fee plan of farm relief and it's advocates now concede that the vote, expect ed next week. will be close.
 Proponents Of the McNary meas ure, embodying the principles of the program incorporated in the Haugen bill voted down by the house, had counted on support from the democratic ranks in the ranks In the senate hut leaders of that party expect most or their col leagues 10 oppose the plan.
 The democratic objection 10 the proposal lies In the feeling that its enactment would establish tariff protection as a permanent govern ment policy. The argument that the plan would help southern cotton producers apparently has little weight with the senators from that section, Senator George. democrat. Georgia, having drawn from one Of it's leading supporters - Gooding, republican, Idaho a confession that stabiization of world prices Is a necessary prerequisite to stabiliza- fion Of cotton prices in the United States.
 Senator Robinson. the democratic floor leader, meanwhile is preparing to offer a substitute bill which it's sponsors hope will gain the support of democratic and other opponents Of the McNary measure. Under this plan, a s20O,o00.0OO federal fund would be administered by a farm CTS export corporation, which would make loans to farmers and. in emergencies. pay export bounties.
