STATE TO IMPEACH
 TAX FUND LEADER
Lester C. Franklin Named
 by Mississippi House Today

Jackson, Miss. April il (Pl-The Mississippi house of representatives carly today voted to impeach Les ter C. Franklin, chairman of the state tax commission,
 The house adopted six of If arti- clcs of impeachment brought against Franklip as the outsrowth 900 antitrust suit which the state once contemplated against Warren Brothers, Boston paving firm, but never prosecuted. Franklin now faces trial in the Mississippi senate with a two-thirds vote required to remove him from office.
 The articles adopted accused Franklin of restraining the attorney general from filing the suit and re- Ncaling to Warren Brothers portions of a bin of complaint prepared by the attorney general.
 The votes on these two charges were 10G to 27 and 9T to 35 re- spectivcly
 Recently a house committee in vcstigatcd reports that the suit was settled with $S0,000 received from Warren Brothers by Carl Marshall, an attorney. Marshall testified the money was paid to him and that a portion of it was for counsel fees. He declined to say to whom the re- mainder was distributed and was ordered to jail for contempt, \ par don was issued by Governor Bilbo but the house declined to recognize it and Marshall left the state.
 One impeachment article alleging that Franklin accepted d part of the SSO,000 was voted down b- the house, S7 to 25. But other other impeachment articles accusing Franklin of irregularities in rela- lions with Marshall were adopted.
 The house also approved an arti- cle of Impeachment which accused Franklin of perjury in connection with changes i'll his testimony in the investigation.

Mayor-Elect Sworn In By Town Clerk Thompson at Sugges- ton of Covert and Dr. Potts = Condition Not as Satisfactory.
Bulletin States His Tenn perature Has Risen Slightly and He Is Rest Iess-Scheduled to Sue ceed to Powers of Office Tuesday at Noon.

At o'clock this afternoon, Mayor elect George A. Quisley took the oath of office as mayor of this city, lying in bed at the New Britain General hospital where he is a bron- chial pneumonia patient.
 The oath, read to him by Town Clerk Alfred L. Thompson, follows;
 You, George A. Quigley, having been elected to the office of mayor for the City of New Britain, sol emnly swear that you will faithfully and honestly perform the duties of the office of mayor for the City of New Britain to the best of your judgment and skill, so help you God"
 When the veteran town clerk had completed reading of the oath, the man who has three times filled the office of mayor and who was re- elected Tuesday by the largest ma | jority ever given a candidate for that office in this city, responded weakly, T do. so help me God ' Because of the seriousness of Mir. | QuigIcy's illness. the ceremony was made as brief as possible and none but few intimate friends, ncwspapermen and photographers were admitted to the room. After extending their congratulations all excepting the physicians in atten- dance and Mir. Quigley's nurse, Miss Barbara Blair. withdrew.
 i Condition Not as Satisfactory
 The hospital bulletin issued at noon today said Mayor-elect Quig- ley's condition was not as satisfac- tory as it was A hours ago. The statement follows;
 The attending physicians of Mayor-elect George X. Quigley state that his condition is not quite as satisfactory this noon as it was A hours ago. Temperature is one de- gree higher and the patient is lit- tie more restless. This is attributed in part to his anxiety to plan and consult regarding city affairs. His general physical condition, however, remains fairly satisfactory.
 ''T. E. REEkS,
 Superintendent. '
 Dr., Potts Explains Object
 Dr. Joseph H. Potts, one of the attending physicians and long time friend of the mayor-elec explained today that it was regarded the bet ter part of wisdom to have the for mality of inauguration disposed of today because in Quigley's present condition the excitement attendant to the inaugural would not be like ly 70 affect his health.

opportunity to prove that Federal
agencies adequately empowered to
deal with the agricultural problem
are capable of eXpediting the relief
so often sought from the Congress.
IT is obvious that something more
than publicity will be required to con-
vince the farmers of the effectiveness
of these groups created by Congress
as a means of settling the farm prob
lem. The disclosure that several
commissions appointed by the Presl-
dent are dependent on outside hnan-
cial assistance has produced some
criticism as to influences" controll-
ing the various commission findings.
Cabinet officers sometimes feel that
these groups, reporting only to the
President, go far afield in their stud
les and take over functions rightfully
regarded as departmental matters.
From present indications the seat
ing arrangements at Washington's Of
fetal dinner parties will be relatively
simple as compared to the dHhcultles
in locating governmental establish
ments according to the nature of the
work they perform. Comptroller
General McCarl has refused to accept
a new building which is to be erected
in the midst of group OF buildings
housing the executive branches OF the
government. Mr.. McCarls contention
is that the General Accounting Ofnce
is responsible to Congress and views
with alarm such proximity to execu
tive functions as tentatively decided
upon by the Public Buildings Commits
sion. If the Public Buildings Com
mission takes cognizance. of Mr.. Nc
Carls objections and puts his office
somewhere else, there are endless pos
sibilities for further complications
based on preference for locations &C
| cording to the functions of the var
| ious departments.
