Utility interests received a blow

vorably on the Dennigan senate bill
governing the sale Of electrical ap-

With the majority report Of the

minority composed of Representa-

which would permit the sale of cleo

would require the utilities to operate
appliance departments as separate
units Of business and charge no por-
ton Of the cost Of operation to gen.
eral upkeep upon which utility rates
are based.
The bill in its original form pro-
hibited the utilities from merchan-
dising appliances and required them
to award contracts for supplies to
lowest bidders. The Latter provi-
sion was stricken out in the mi

Attempts to Link Radio
AnnOuncer's Murder With
Hotel Party.
sy United Prcso

By United Prose
DETROIT, March GA fighting
group Of defense attorneys, not
content with trying to tear down
the states case, today continued eff
forts to build up a counter-case in
the trial Of three men on charges
OF numbering Jerry Buckley, radio
commentator, last summer. Those
on trial are Ted Pizzino, Joe Bonn
tnartto and Angelo Livecchi.
Although Thursday belonged to
the state, the defense virtually ap-
propriated the states witnesses, and
used their testimony in cross-ex-
animation, to lay the groundwork
for a counter attack. Anthony
Maiullo, defense counsel, in a state
ment to the court. disclosed that the
defense would offer a new theory
of the murder-that Buckley was
killed because of his connection with
politics in the suburb of Ham
tramck.
Tell of Gathering
Ills questions in subsequent cross
examination of the states witnesses
gave clear hints of what the de-
Tense will try TO show.
The testimony was concerned en-
tirely with gathering of Ham
trsmck residents in the La Sale
hotel which Buckley attended, and
which he left ten minutes before
his murder. All those present at
this meeting were brought to the
witness stand.
Here are the significant things
the defense did in cross-examina-
ton
Brought out that the host at this
gathering was William J. Janiszew-
ski, Hantramck politician, and that
Janiszewski had made an appoint
ment with Buckley at suite of
rooms which he borrowed" for
this party"
Contradictions in Stories
Established the fact that the
rooms in which the gathering was
held directly overlooked Adelaide

GANDH REFUSES TO
ATTEND CONFERENCE
Will Not Participate IN London
Meeting; Charges Viola
tons Of Treaty

Bombay, India, Aug. 13.-R)-The
Indian national congress Thursday
decided definitely not to participate
in the second round-table conference
on Indian affairs at London this fall.
~Mahatma Gandhi's son, Devidas
Gandhi. said as he left the meeting
Of the congress working committee:
There Is absolutely no chance my
father will 60 to London"
The committees decision to have
no part in the conference was based
upon charges Of repeated serious
breaches Of the Delhi pact by the
provincial government"
Gandhi served notice or Viceroy
Wilmington several days ago he would
not participate in the conference I'M
less he was assured peasants in ar
rearS with taxes or rents would not
be molested by revenue authorities.
Gandhi, who framed the resolution
which the committee adopted, also
was actuated by the fact Victory
Lord Wilmington declined to appoint
an impartial tribunal to investigate
alleged breaches Of the pact and to
interpret two terms Of that document.
The action does not mean, Gandhi
told the Associated Press after the
working committee meeting, that the
campaign Of civil disobedience will be
renewed Immediately.
II have no present intention Of re-
newing civil disobedience," he said.
I'VE will strive to fulfill our part Of
the Delhi pact, which need not
necessarily be considered rescinded by
today's decision. However, II the gov
eminent makes u position utterly
intolerable we must act In self de-
Tense. SO far as I am concerned there
is no intention Of reopening negotia-
tons with the government regarding
participation in the round-table con-
ference"
