the election was as follows:
Conservatives 463; National Lib
erals IS: Labor opposition 40; Nation
al Labor Independents 13: Independ-
ents 8; Communists O.; New party O:
Lloyd George Liberals 4.
The potential total in support OF
the National government thus was

position 3,495 ,612; National Labor
208,278; National Liberals 93,525:

Los Angeles, Oct. "a. With
Winnie Ruth Judd, confessed slayer
of two women, reported under obser-

seeking her return to Phoenix said
they would welcome an insanity plea
IN event the indicated M Of self
defense was dropped.
They can't get anywhere with an

Lloyd Andrews of Phoenix. Mrs.
Judd tried to conceal her crime and
that indicates she is capable Of dis
tinguishing between right and wrong.
It Is this ability which is the determ-
lining factor"
Despite the announced plans Of
Mrs. Judd's attorneys to take every
step within their power to prevent
her hasty return to Arizona to stand
trial for numbering her two former
friends and one-time roommateS,
Hedvig Samuelson and Agnes LIE Roi,
Arizona authorities were hopeful they
might start for Phoenix with their
prisoner late Wednesday.
Extradition papers were signed by
Governor Rolph Tuesday. Mrs. Judd's
attorneys said they would claim an
error was made in the issuance Of
the extradition papers and, failing in
that, would seek action on q writ Of
habeas corpus.
Police held for questioning a man
giving the name of Fred Williams, a
transient. He walked into the police
station and said he had aided Mrs.
Judd in Staying the two women whose
bodies were sent to Los Angeles "A

PARLEY DODGES
MORATORIUM
DETAILS
Young Plan Committee Will
Report; Reparations
Priority Avoided

BASEL, Switzerland, Dec. %
(I.N.S.).-A drafting formula
was drawn up today outlining
the report the Young Plan sd.
visory committee will make
public tomorrow as a result of
its study Of Germany's capacity
to pay.
The formula showed certainly
that the committees conclusions,
reached after two weeks work,
will be in a form of compro-
mise, and that they will not con-
tain an effective recommends
tion.
Recommends Moratorium
The formula, drawn up by Sir
Walter Layton, of Great Britain;
DR.. Carl Melchior, Of Germany,
and Charles Rist. Of France. will
simply report Germany'S present
incapacity to pay, and recon-
mend a moratorium, dodging the
question of the length of the
moratorium.
Whether the final report will
remain within the confines of
the Young plan and whether
priority should be given to repat
rationS or Germany's short-term
obligations were other issues left
untouched in the formula.
Victory for French
All of the main issues, then,
have been left for the coming
European political conference, the
only decision reached here being
that Germany needs a mora
torium.
The sudden agreement was
generally interpreted as victory
for France, since it followed the
dropping of a fight by large bloc

who declared he saw Marian be,
ing led away by her kidnaper.
Lack of information has made
the search one of the most dis
heartening.
Public indignation has been
aroused, large rewards have been
offered, hysteria has gripped the
city.
Discovery of the childs body
this morning climaxed a desper-
ate search. The entire police de-
partment and more than 100 uni
formed firemen secured the city
for a trace of the lost child.
When news of the discovery
was taken to the home of the
grief-stricken mother, Mrs. Mil
dred Mclean was overcome.
Joseph Mclean, the child's
father, who is separated from his
wife, was reported trying to reach
Cincinnati from Phoenix, Arlz.,
where he has been living. .
It was said he had started Tor
this city to aid in the search for
his daughter, but that he be-
came stranded en- route because
of lack of funds.
$1,25O in Rewards
The man for whom police
search was intensified today, was
described as being heavy-set, me-
dium height, probably five feet,
seven inches tall and weighing
14O pounds. The description was
furnished by the Servizzi youth.
Rewards totalling $1,25O have
been offered for the capture OF
the brutal killer.
The kidnapping and murder Of
little Marian recalled three other
similar kidnapingS in recent Gin
cinnati police history. Two OF the
cases were never solved and the
children vanished completely.
The third case had an ending
similar to the Mclean tragedy.
After having been missing for
several days, the child's mother
one morning answered a knock
at the back door. When she
opened the door, a bundle,
wrapped in a pillow case, toppled
over on the floor at her feet.
The bundle contained the muir
dered body of her child.

act, the Nye campaign fund
committee today filed a re-
port of it's investigation into
the Bishops handling of po-
litical funds during the 1928
election.
It set forth all the allegations
which led to the indictment OF
the bishop in the Federal courts
on a charge. of conSpiring to vlo-
late the Federal election law.
Cites One Violation
It recited many curious finan-
cial deals by Cannon, but termed
only one q violation of law-his
failure to report any of $65, 300
given him by e. G. Jameson,
New York capitalist.
In answer to the Senate'S in
structions to determine whether
Cannon "fraudently converted"
campaign funds to his personal
use, the committee set forth the
results of it's inquiry without
drawing a, conclusion. It told
how Cannon had deposited
political funds in his private
banking accounts, where the
money was kept until long after
the campaign ended and then
used for personal business.
It pointed out how Cannon re-
ceived one $4,000 political con-
tribution from Jamesc1 and de-
posted it in tiny Virginia bank,
where it was held until after the
campaign ended. Then, it traced
this fund into another banking
account, on which Cannon drew
checks for personal expenditures.
The only complaint cited by
the committee was that it's in
quiry had been greatly impeded
by the attitude of officers" of
Cannon's political COMMITTEE. It
failed to ask contempt citations
