 Almost as soon as the senate con- ycncd Dill. democrat. of Washing ton. was on his feet with the charge that the court had placed itself in politics. Nandbcrg, republican, Of Michigan, rushed to the defense of the count with the cry that he would not let such challenge go unan- sWyrcd.

King Asks Paonessa Whether He Suspects Graft In School Dept.
 In Duel Over Auditors Report
Chairman of Education Committee Wants Plain State ment Expressing Resentment at What He Believes Arc Insnuations Reilecting
 On Boards Honesty.

Chairman P. r. King of the school committee today asked that Mayor Paonessa state plainly whether he believes there has been dishonesty in the handling of school department finances and suggested that the board of finance and taxation be called upon to fix responsibility for a deficit on the Senior high school account.
 The school board head, in letter to the press, suggests this method of determining just what the mayors attitude is with reference to the auditors report that they found no invoices to support expenditures of 1000 when they made their sur yoy of the department Of education, and to put an end to the long drawn out controversy over the high school addition.
 Chairman King also refers to the board of finance the question Wheth- CT Mayor raoncssa disclosed all the facts in connection with two bids in his statement printed yesterday.
 Mir. Kings letter reads:-
 "Thc lengthy statement given out bJ Mayor paonessa and printed in your paper of last evening is char acteristic and plainly intended to bccloud the issue.
 He points out that our quarrel is with the auditors: we have no quar- rel with the auditors. We welcome constructive criticism at any and all times and will carefully consider any recommendations for improving routine, but We want to call the at tention of the public again to the statement given out by the mayor when he released the audit without

Both Confess Melvin Horst, 4, of Wooster, Ohio, Slain During Drinking Party Neither Admits Actual Killing.
Vague on Disposal of Corpse-Brakeman and Fellow Prisoner Say They Visited Frantic Parents as Blind as Hunt Was Begun.

Wooster, Ohio, Feb If GR}-Four- Year-old Melvin Horst, hunted since he disappeared nearly fl months ago. was slain the day he dsap- pcarcd by one Of two men during a drinking party, according to signed statements attributed to them by Special Assistant Prosecutor Walter J. Mougey.
 Mougey announced today that i.arl Conald, 42-ycar- old former railroad brakeman. and Charles Hanna. of Wooster. had made sworn statements in which each declared the other killed the child.
 Their alleged revelations came after they had been questioned al most continuously since Wednesday morning. and were the result of a new story told by junior. 1o-year- old sol of Charles Hanna.
 Accused Each Other
 Hannd signed q statement in which he said Conald coaNcd the Horst boy into an automobile in a garage near the Conald home and #lo" him, Mougcy said.
 Conald declared that it was Hanna who put the boy in the car and then cried:
 My God, l believe I've killed him."
 Neither told what became Of the boy, Mougcy said. Conald confessing that he had been drinking too much to remember.
 A desperate search for the body was under way today in order that murder charges might be filed against both men. the assistant prosecutor announced,
 In the event the body is not found, Mougcy is prepared to file either nanslaughtcr or child steal ing charges.
 Mougey said he had not cstab- lished a motive. At first a boot lcgging feud had been considered ns the possible background. but the Assistant Prosecutor pointed out that ,ropald's alleged liquor activities were on too small a scale.
 Conald and Tanna agreed for the most part in the details of their stories except when it came to nam ing the child-slaycr. Their state lncnts purportcd to show they had "riven around, had "a few drinks and finally came to the garage back of the home of Frank Frey.
 They took more drinks in the garage, during which Melvin appear 'd. according to their stories to Mougcy. Both agreed that Melvin Vas whiSkcd into the automobile and either chokcd or beaten to death. lut each laid the blame at the other.

 If there is not here an implied charge that money has been mis- used. or in plain words. that there has been graft. then he should make clear his meaning. l would like to have him answer plainly, does he think there has been a dishonest usc of public money by the school com mttcc.
 Tn regard to the long statement about the high school which Of course, is a sore spot with the mayor, I suggest the following:

The process of liqui- dating the assets of the dcfunct bank proceeded in orderly fashion today under the direction of the Bristo ol Trust Co.,, and it was estimated that approximately $35.00O of the $S5.- 900 deposits in the discount company had been refunded.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 90.
Hundreds OF unemployed workers,
under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party and Trade Union Unity
League, demonstrated in front of
the Minneapolis and st. Paul City
Halls, demand work or wages. The
mayor and councilmen, learning of
the jobless mass-meet and demon
stration, conveniently disappeared
and could not be reached.
The demonstration of unemployed
in st. Paul, where The farmer-labor

Gated, was especially successful.
Many of the iobless joined the
Unemployed Council and some
joined the Communist Party.
The unemployed mass meetings
were addressed by members of the
Trade Union Unity League, who
spoke from the court house steps.
Another demonstration is planned
for next Friday in Minneapolis.

Manifesto follows:

More than six million workers are

throughout the whole capitalist

capitalists, headed by Hoover, is
throwing the burden of the eco

government is presenting the capt.
talists with rich bounties, like the
$160,000000 tax cut, and helps the
capitalists to save their profits by
increasing exploitation and spend

ORGANIZE COUNCILS OF UNEMPLOYED WORKERS
Trade Union Unity League Demands 1o Ree Fights Cuts and Speed

Six million of workers are out Of
work, tens Of thousands are being
thrown on the street every week !;
the prospect is that in short time
there will be ten million unemployed
workers. This occurs because capital
ism is in crisis, and the capitalists
are trying to make the workers, by
their suffering, pay the cost of the
crisis; by wage cuts, increased
speed-up and firing of great num-
bers of workers to starve on the
street.
Those now unemployed have no
hope of getting jobs. More will be
added to those out Of work. Still
more will be working part time. To
successfully struggle against this
attack upon the whole working class
and its living standards is the chief
task now confronting all workers,
both employed and unemployed.
Workers, whether you be organ
