Absent From Committee
Meeting Yesterday.
APPROVAL HOPED FOR
Report of Subcommittee Is
Awaited Before Final Ac.
ton Is Taken

Havana, Feb. 16.-(AP)-1n the
determination that the Pan.Ameri-
can Union should not be among the
unfinished business Of the Pan.
American congress when It adjourns
Monday, m extraordinary meeting
Of the Pan-American union commit
tee was called for today.
The report Of q subcommittee was
awaited on both the actual wording
Of the convention and upon the draft
Of . resolution to provide . modus
vivendi for the Pan.American union
until the convention which 10 intend
ed to regulate its activities should
be ratified by all the 81 republics
of this hemisphere.
The subcommittee included in It's
membership DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon,
Argentina, who was absent from the
union committee meeting yesterday.
It was rumored that he had resigned
both a. delegate Of Argentina to the
conference and ambassador to Wash.
ington.
Explains Absence
DR.. Pueyrredon said his absence
was due to the fact that he could
have said nothing the committee had
not already heard.
DR.. Pueyrredon, in previous
speeches before the committee, in
sisted that the Pan-American union
convention in its preamble should
commit the union to the discussion
of economic barriers to trade in the
Americas. The preamble as ap.
proved contained no such provision.
The subcommittee was instructed
to select from the draft convention
those clauses needing immediate &p.
plication to allow the union to func-
tion according to views expressed at
the present congress.
It was hoped that . resolution
might be prepared from these which
would receive. the unanimous ap-
pDoval Of the congress. Belief that
adjournment of the conference would
involve oblivion as far Is the pres
ent congress was concerned Of the
disputed point regarding the right Of
any state to intervene in the inter-
nal affairs Of another received q jolt
when a meeting Of the subcommittee
considering that point was called.

Faces His Second Murder
Trial

Los Angeles, Feb. 16.-(AP)-At-
torneys defending William Edward
Hickman and Welby Hunt in their
trial for tho murder Of C. Ivy Thoms,
suburban druggist, expected to COM
plete a jury today-one composed
mostly Of women.
The opening session of the trial
ended yesterday with nine women
and three men tentatively chosen.
Chief Defense Counsel Jerome
Walsh indicated he might employ
all Of the 80 challenges before ac-
cepting the jury. He already had
used eight of these. On the other
side, the prosecution attorney, For
rest Murray, stated he did not ex-
pect to exercise more than two to
three challenges.
Hickman, who last Tuesday was sen.
fenced to hang for numbering Mar.
ian Parker, took the opening of his
second trial for his life with smiling
ease. His gaze roamed around the
courtroom, now familiar as the
scene in which he was tried and sen.
fenced for killing the 12-year-old
girl. Occasionally he grinned, and

plice, not yet II, on the other hand,
was downcast.
Surgeon First Witness
With the completion of the jury,
Murray stated, county autopsy
surgeon will be called as the first
state witness.
He was expected to testify regard
ing the gunshot wounds suffered by
Thoms and to the caliber Of the
bullets which killed him. In their
confessions to the staying each youth
has blamed the other for the. actual
shooting, which occurred when a 20.
liceman in the store opened fire. The
surgeon will testify, Murray said,
that the caliber of bullets was the
same as that of the gun Hunt
carried.
Mrs. Rose Thoms, widow Of the
slain man and an eye witness of the
shooting, will be the second witness.
After these witnesses testify,
Hunts attorney, A. Gray Gilmer,
will attempt to show that Hickman
influenced Hunt to become a crimin-
al. Then Attorneys Walsh and
Richard Cantillon, for Hickman, will
offer depositions intended to estab.
lish the insanity of their client.

fight over the proposal and broke
party lines to bits. The vote on
adoption Of the amended resolution
was not recorded.
Twenty-eight Republicans and Is
Democrats supported the George
amendment, overcoming q combina-
ton Of IL Republicans, including the
Independent group, and 20 Demo-

position to the Walsh plan to have a
special senate committee Of five

resolution made three unsuccessful
attempts to defer . vote until today
but the George supporters insisted
upon carrying the question to Z de-
cision before adjournment last night.
The federal trade commission, thus
involuntarily infringing upon what

function Of the senate, is directed by
