THIRD PERSON IN
 SHAVING SOUGHT
Burned Youths Probably Given
 Ride, Police Believe

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 25 P-A new theory that a third person made the trip from North Carolina U Memphis with Burton Henslev and Woodrow Wilson was consider ci today by investigators seeking d solution of the brutal staying of the two youths in an eastern Arkansas swamp.
 The third person was the owner of a green coupe, in which the boys travelled to Mississippi river bottom lands opposite Memphis, in the opin- ion of R. w. Mailing, prosecuting attorney, and Uric Hensley, broth e. of Burton.
 Mailing said neither youth had a car and they could not possibly have hitch linked from Asheville to Memphis in a day and half"
 Hensley expressed the belief that the boys, after leaving their home at Bald Creek, N. C., for a short visit 10 Asheville, met a friend with an automobile and that the three decided to make a, trip to Fl Paso, Tex, to visit a member of the Hens ley family.
 The two boys, he said. were ir Asheville last Sunday night. They next were reported in Memphis Tuesday afternoon travelling in q green coupe. The following day they were found unconscious, with skulls crushed, lying in the rem nants of a campfire. They died in a hospital without regaining con- sciousness.
 No trace of the car has been found. An inquest was set for to- day.

MORE CANISTER KILLINGS LIKELY
Aiell0 Murder Believed POrefun-
 ner Of RaCketeer Feud

Chicago, Oct. 20 R1The assassi- hol king" and foe of Alphonse Ca pone. was viewed by police today as a possible forerunner for further slayings in Chicago's gangland.
 Belief was expressed by them that George (Bugs) Moran, reputed part ner of Aiello, who was shot down from ambush on the northwest side last Thursday night, may be the next target of machine gun bullets.
 CapOne Plot Bared
 In this connection the Chicago Herald and Examiner said today that Aiello's death. "halted a well organized plot to slay Al Capone.' The newspaper added that the po- lice had been informed that one of the conspirators, believing the plot would fail, tipped off" a Capone henchman and the killing of Aiello followed.
 While the police were in the midst of their investigation of the Alello death, John Alcock, acting police commissioner. made good his threat CT a month ago to give the depart ment shaking up by ordering the transfer of two captains and 9l other officers. He added that an other shakeup was in the offing.
 Unsuccessful in their efforts to learn anything of importance from relatives of the slain gang chief, the authorities continued hunt for Capone henchmen, including Jack McGurn who was indicted but never tried for connection with the ma chine gun staying Of seven follow CTS of Moran on St. Valentines day in 1929.
 PPasouale Presto3iacono, aS whose home Aiello had been hiding, and who fled after Aicllo was shot, continued to keep his whereabouts secret as police sought him in the belief he could throw some light on the assassination.
 Attorney to Produce Him
 His attorney, Benjamin Il. Van derveld, however, promised he would produce him today. It was In front of Prestigiacomo's home that Aiello, trapped by machine gun nests on three sides, was killed.
 The police were also confronted with another staying - that of John Guida, described as a minor hood lum, whose body, with a bullet wound in the head, was found in a saloon. Joseph Liebrocll, reputcd owner of the place was arrested. He was suffering from bruises, leading police to conclude that Guida might have been slain as a result Of a brawl in the saloon.

NO SESSION FOR
 ECONOMIC PLANS
Hoover Will Not Call Congress
 Together

Washington Oct. 25 Pl-EXistins agencies for the relief of unemploy- ment are, in the expressed opinion of President Hoover, sufficient to meet emergencies without calling a special session of congress.
 MT. Hoover let this be known late yesterday in announcing that sug- gcstions for an extraordinary con- gressional session met with his dis approval.
 At the same time, the president signed an order through which, it $ estimated, 100,OOO family heads may secure employment in the postal service during the Christmas rush.
 Hoover's Statement
 In making known his opinion re- sarding a special session of congress, Mir. Hoover said:
 "Thc sense of voluntary organlZa- ton and community service in the American people has not vanished. The spirit of voluntary service has been strong enough to cope with the problem for the last year and it will I am confident, continue in full measure of the need.
 MT. Hoover also said Colonel Ar thur Woods, unemployment rellet director, had received most gratlfy- ing evidence of cooperation by state and municipal officials as we'll as by industrial leaders and welfare or sanizations throughout the country.
 The president estimated that bond issues aggregating s45o,oOo,0Oo would be approved by the voters or numerous states and cities during the month of November, and this. he said, would contribute toward alleviating the situation.
 Woods is planning 10 work in two directions to-bring employment to the jobless. The first is through the federal government and the state and municipal governments. The second is through the industrial cor porations.
 Urges Bond Study
 Without recommending the bond proposals as individually sound, Woods urged local leaders to study them carefully and if considered worthy to give them their support
 Most of these issues, he said. would result in employment of men now idle and would stimulate indus try by increasing the purchasing power of the workers.
 Colonel Woods is drawing up a regional organization which may in clude the appointment of three dl- rcctors to work with the states in certain sections of the nation.
 Fred C. CroXton of Columbus, Ohio, was appointed the first of these. He will be in charge of un- employment relief in the middle west.

WIDOW 0F W|NGO
 ID SUCCEED HIM
Last Wish Of Arkansas Congress-
 man Granted by State

Little Rock. Ark, Oct. c5 P,-- Party lines were erased in Arkansas today as democrats and republicans united in observance of the last wish of the late Representative Otis ]. Wineo to have his widow succeed him in the house of representatives, where for is years he represented the fourth district
 Two letters, written few hours before his death in Baltimore. re- uuested that in event of his death Mrs. Wingo be accorded the demo- cratic nomination for both the un- expired and two year terms.
 The letters were made public last night by Ira D. Dulaney, of Ash down, a lifelong friend. One was addressed to MT. Dulaney and the other to the democratic state cen tral committee.
 Republican leaders immediately announced Mrs. Wingo would not be opposed.
 Republicans Help
 The respect accorded MT. Wingo's wishes was made more evident through statement issued by Osro Cobb, secretary of the republican state committee and friend of the Wingos.
 Cobb said he was prepared to urge amendment of a bill pending before congress to change the narue of a proposed national park to Wingo National Forest.
 It was not known definitely if Mrs. Wingo would accept the nomina ton. but there seemed no doubt # would be rendered her by democrat ic state central committee at 9 meeting Monday.
 Mrs. Wingo during the past four years in Washington has been her husbands inseparable companion and familiar figure in committee rooms and in the house gallery. She also has taken an active part in Arkansas politics.
 Should Mrs. Wingo reach the house it would be the second time in two years that the widow of an Arkansas congressman has become her husbands successor Mrs. Pearl Peden Oldfield now retiring from congress as representative from the second district, succeeded her hus band, the late w. A. Oldfeld, two years ago.

At 2:S0 a. m., the entire barracks and military police were aroused and sent to guard the palace. Luis again was asked to re- sign and when he again refused was given until II a. m, Friday, to ac quiesce.
 As matter of fact it was not until late Friday evening that he finally gave in to their demands and left the palace under guard to become a prisoner.
