STEVE MOVE NEARS
Arguments on Writ Expect
ed Shortly.

Arguments in Supreme Court on
D. C. Stephensons attempt to win
release from Indiana State Prison
on a write of habeas corpus are ex-
pected soon.
John II. Kiplinger, Rushville at
torney for Stephenson, today filed
an answer to Attorney General Ar
thur L. Gilliom's brief for the State.
The habeas corpus, asked on
grounds that because the Marion
County clerk failed to sign the
transcript when the Stephenson
murder case was vented to Hamil-
ton County the Hamilton Circuit
Court was without jurisdiction and
the life term given Stephenson is
void, was denied in La Porte Circuit
Court and appealed.
The Supreme Court is expected
to set the argument date soon as
Kiplinger has fed a plea for an
early hearing.

LSERS' CASE
TO GRAND JURY
Wife May Get LenienCy in
Poisoning Case.

BV United Press
MARION, Ind. June 6. - Six
earnest citizens of Grant County,
convened as a special grand jury to-
day TO consider the degree of
murder of crime for money-the
poisoning of 12-year-old Clifford
Cox, charged to Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Walser at Fairmount. in the
hope they would benefit by s445 in
insurance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walser have con-
fessed the poisoning and indicated
their willingness to plead guilty, in
the hope of leniency.
Chief interest rested in whether
the grand jury would believe Mrs.
Walser's plea that she was forced to
poison Clifford, her cousin, by fear
that if she didn't. her husband
would kill their two-months- old
baby.
Edward c. Hays, the youthful
prosecuting attorney. will ask in
dictments for first degree murder
against both husband and wife. The
grand jury may use its own judg-
ment and it was possible that while
it would charge first degree murder
against the husband it would re-
turn a lesser indictment against
Mrs. Walser.

SOVIET FAILING
THRU RED TAPE,
COMMISSAR SAY
Burden of Personnel Ter
rifle Strain on Russ
Government.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, Russia, June 6.-The
great Soviet Russian experiment is
strangling on paper. Red tape is
threatening the red" republic, &C
cording to ScYgei Orjanikidse, of
the Council of Peoples Commissars.
Suspicion, dislike of responsibility
and the system of checks and bal
ances have built up a corps of
clerks, officials, bureaucrats and in
spectors under which the life of
Russia is choking. Orjanikidse said.
In four years since 1923 the num-
Der of state employees in Moscow has
jumped up from $4,000 to 100000
and throughout the Soviet Union
the governmental employees and bu-
reaucrats have increased by more
than 10000 persons.
Savings Lose
The burden of this added pay roll
eats up the saving which might be
possible between wholesale and re-
tail costs Of goods, he declared, and
keeps the cost of living high.
He also revealed that, in spite of
state monopolies over every phase
of life. fierce competition between
the state organizations continues,
piling up costs of administration
and duplication of effort.
TOO Many Banks"
1--WE have too many banks" he
said. Finance is a monopoly of
government but in some towns we
have six or eight banks all Compel
ing terrifically against each other
where one bank would be sufficient"
Although the numerous banks, like
other business projects. are under
direct government orders, they
struggle against dissolution as if
they we're private concerns fighting
for their existence. This is because
the stats of organizations marked
for this continuance are afraid they
will be without jobs.
