 If passage is delayed until to- morrow or Saturday. it still could reach the White House in time to prevent pocket veto.
 Mir Hoover's final word of protest was as follows:
 "The country should not be called upon. either directly or indirectly, to support or make loans to those who can by their own efforts support themselves"
 So far as is possible, the letter containing that statement is to be utilized in an effort to obtain votes in the senate to support Mir Hoover. A two-thirds vote is required to override veto. However, at pres ent fewer than q dozen votes are counted against the bill.
 An effort is being made to capi- taliZe the final objections of the ad- ministration as presented yesterday before the finance committee. Many of the dangers described as inherent in previous cash payment proposals are ascribed now to the current pro- posal.

Strangest Trial
 Ever Heard Of
(Continued from Page 1)

the trial to untangle problems re- lating to probate of Mrs Palmer's will, under which Mrs Post or her heirs were to receive $1,5OO.
 Under California law, murderer cannot benefit from the estate of his victim. It therefore was necessary, Judge Scovel held, either to convict or exonerate Mrs Post of the charge of murder, even though she herself is dead, before the Palmer estate could be settled.
 In pleading for Mrs Post, White said he had searched legal history of the last 600 years without finding a precedent for the trial and de- clared in defense of Mrs Post that he would prove "the two women planned mutual liberation of their souls" or that both died in what he termed a Hove compact"
 He said he would call several wit nesses to-day to testify that Mrs Post was of unbalanced mind and that this fact was responsible for the companionship of the two women.
 Werner Rush, salesman, told yes- terday of discovering the bodies of the women in their Laguna Beach home last April "A.
 He found Mrs Palmer's body on the kitchen floor. An attempt had been made to wash blood from her body and her face had been rouged and powdered, he said. In the next room, Mrs Posts body was found. She had been shot twice

would require $2OO, 900, 900 to be raised this year.
 If all veterans are given the priv ilege as proposed in the bill, Mills estimated $40O, 100000 must be raised March IS and another $400,- 000,000 in June. This would be in addition to $1.600,000.000 which the treasury must borrow soon. Of this sum. S1, 100, ,000, 900 is for refinancing and the additional S50O,000.0 900 is to meet the deficit which Mills says is assured for the fiscal year ending June 30.
 The cost of the proposed legisla- ton is problematical because it de- bends upon the number of veterans who woulud avail themselves of in creased loan privileges. The veter ans bureau estimates 25 per cent more Veterans would take advantage of the new legislation. it was esti- mated the loans under the bill would aggregate $1,283,000,00O (billion), distributed among 2,550.000 veter- ans: Mellon estimates the maximum outlay would aggregate $1,770,000,- 900.
 Advocates of the bill deny it would require a bond issue, chal- lenge the accuracy of Mellon's fig ures, and scoff at administration fears that the project would retard business reha ablitation. They have the votes to-day to disregard these protests but only 33 votes would be necessary to sustain veto in the senate

 Undersecretary of Treasury Mills pleaded with the committee to re- strict the benefit of the measure to veterans actually in need. He said the bill in it's present form would require a bond issue. He urged the necessity of keeping the government Ou. of the money market as much as possible at this time. The com mittee rejected all suggestions.
 The bill. which would allow World war veterans to borrow up to 50 per cent of the matured value of their adjusted service certificates, will be open to amendment in the senate to-day.
 Senator Reed, republican, Penn sylvania. or some other of the few opponents of the bill may seek to change it. Some friends of the meas ure may attempt to reduce the in- terest rate from 4 1-2 per cent and to fix the interest on a simple instead of compound basis.
 But senate leaders believe the bill will go through without change. Un- der that program it should reach

acted upon favorably. Many resi- dents of Wolcott were here this afternoon to attend the hearing on the bill and it was the general con- census of opinion that the propon- ents would outnumber the oppon- ents and that the judiciary commit tee would bring in a favorable report to the house.
 At the present time Wolcott is hearing much about its justice of the peace court. A sensational trial has just been ended in which cor ruption and bribery was charged against Wolcott officials. The whole trouble was declared to be due to hard feelings over political affilia- tions of the various court officials in Wolcott.
 The bill heard this afternoon is designed to do away with this situa- tion and set up a regular town court. The court would be equipped with a judge and deputy judge, a prose- cutor and assistant prosecutor and the necessary clerical staff.
 Under the provisions of the bill the judge will receive $400, annu- ally, and the salary of the deputy judge would be $200. It is likely that an effort will be made to have these salary items increased slightly.
 MT Browne is one of the older residents of Wolcott and has been treasurer of the town for many years. He is said to have undivided backing for the post of judge and, it is also said, he has consented to take the duties over despite the small remuneration offered. Several are being mentioned for the post of deputy judge but, needless to say, in view of the small salary, there is no heated contest.

FEDERAL AGENT
GIVES TALK ON
LABOR SITUATION

Interesting facts and figures con-
cerning the local unemployment
problem were given Kiwanians at
their weekly luncheon at the Ba"-
bara Worth hotel yesterday noon hv
Captain w. N. Cunningham of the
free employment service of the
United States department of labor
The speaker explained that %
per cent of the unemployed trans-
tents passing through the valley are
industrial workers and skilled
artisans and even if there should
happen to be a shortage of local
labor. there would be no employ
ment here for them.
In explaining the national situa.-
ton, Cunningham predicted that
there would be very little improve
ment of a general nature until
every state in the union makes q
definite, systematic plan for o.
ganizing and taking care of the
unemployed in each area. This will
eliminate transient labor problems
for all time and not provide just
temporary relief.
While the number of single
transient men is decreasing in the
| valley. the number of transient
families is increasing. OF the III
transient families applying for aid
, 152 were residents of other states
Captain Cunningham explained.
During the meeting announce
ment was made of the divisiona1
