The governor controls q majority in

Opponents of the governors program

Open admission has been made that

Uneasy over the constitutional con-

other measures, Long House leaders
Saturday sought to advance it on the
calendar by having Speaker John Four

During the debate Gov. Long came
on the floor to direct personally his

Thousands of the morbidly curious yes.

Saturday pitched his wife and foul
children to their death and climaxec
the tragedy two hours later by leapins

Of the victims lay today in a morgue

Only a strict watch maintained by
police today prevented the more daring
OF the crowds from making the pre-

rock to the narrow ledge on which
Spang took refuge for two hours after
hurting the last of his children to their
terrible fate.

out of his mad plan
The crowds yesterday came from all
sections of the State, and looked In
awe at this mountainous rock, long
noted as beauty spot In the city's
park system.
It was this scenic attraction that
epang selected Saturday, a day after
his escape from a United States vet
erans' hospital In the Bronx, New York,
for a picnic to celebrate his home
coming.
No one saw him park his automobile;
no one saw him lure his wife and chill
dren to the edge of the cliff and no
one saw him lift the first bewildered
daughter high into the air and send her
spinning to the jagged rocks below.
Scream Drew Crowd.
It was the agonized shrieks of the
mother as she attempted to save her
second child that brought to those be-
low the first intimation of the tragedy;
looking up, they saw Spang hurl the
child, downward, then saw him push
his wife of the edge of the precipice
A moment later he cast the remain
ing two children down the cliffs side,
but they landed on ledge part way
down. Spang followed them, picking
his way from ledge to ledge, until he
reached them. Seemingly caressing
each child the demented man hesitated
. moment and then flung them to the
bottom of the declivity, where the
bodies of the others lay.
He continued to climb down to
point about 125 feet from the ground,
and there he perched mumbling and
throwing stones at the fireman who
had been lowered to rescue him. For
Two hours he sat there, white shirt
visible against the sandstone cliff, pray
ing and muttering something about his
children being changed into Negoes.
Then he poised himself and dramati-
cally carried out his maniacaI plan of
seh-destruction, to the horror of thou
sands attracted to the spot.

"I consider the Soviet Union as an

ON INCREASE

In accordance with the ex-

portion OF their capital require
ments, the Commerce Depart

In the first three months Of
the year foreign floatations
amounted to 1898, OOO,O 600, a 20
per cent increase over any period
since the second quarter of 1923.
New nominal capital obtained
amounted to $232.OOO,OOO less
than the corresponding period in

high money rates.
FlotationS in January were

Foreign bonds responded to the
market improvement to a greater
extent than domestic bonds, be-
cause the former had fallen to
much lower levels, according to
the statement. This recovery was
aided by foreign purchases of
foreign dollar securities. These
foreign purchases were made by
individuals for investment and
by the foreign governments for
redemption purposes.

was offset by the fresh outbreak
Of selling in the steel stocks and

Reduction of the banks Of Eng
land and France discount rates
suggested the possibility of an
other cut in the reserve bank re-
discount rates here today, and
this was accentuated by the fur
ther reduction Of bankers accept

led to some selling of the oils, ard
Standard of New Jersey lost more
than a point. Texas Corporation
and Texas Land Trust advanced
about 2 points each on reports OF
concerted drilling operations in

the trust.
The active rails opened 1 to 2
points higher, but demand Tor
these stocks was small, and no
real progress was made. United
CORPORATION and United Gas i'm
provement, leaders in the spirited
rise in low-priced industrial stocks,
were under selling pressure and
sold off about 312 points from
the peak of the move. Consoll-
dated Gas was in good demand
at 1872.

MONEY NEARS

Following the reduction of the
discount rates of the Bank Of
England and Bank OF France it
was learned in official circles
here today that the New York
Federal Reserve Bank is likely to
establish a per cent rate.
The New York rate has been
312 per cent and the other Fed
eral Reserve banks are on a 4
per cent level. The new London
rate is 3 per cent and the Paris
rate 212 per cent.
Officials said that owing to
the reduced credit being used by
trade and industry throughout
the world it would be logical to
establish a 3 per cent rate in
New York.
The worldwide slackness in
business was held to be natural
outcome of establishments follow
ing the war period. During the
war there was virtually no build
ing or other industrial activity
except that pertaining to the
prosecution of the conflict.
Officials explained that in the
following years business activity
was abnormal in the effort to
catch up from war time losses.
