NEWPORT, r. l., March 25-One
young man is in custody and another
was sought today for the Staying of
pretty Verna Russell, 20, a student
nurse. The body was found in a ditch
In dreary spot. The medical examiner
determined she was strangled.
Vernon Victor Calvin of Fall River,
Mass, former New Hampshire state
College foot ball star, furnished the
States Investigators with virtually all
the information they had relating to
the case and his story resulted in the
issuance Of a warrant for the arrest Of
Elliott r. Hathaway, 20, of Fall River,
son Of q member of the Massachusetts,
State Legislature The warrant charged
Hathaway with murder in the first de-
gree.
Calvin was held in $4,000 bail as a
material witness Unable to raise the
security, he was committed to the coun-
ty jail,
Calvin told the police that Hath
away told him that while he was driv-
ing with Miss Russell they were beset
by two men who took the girl away
from him and told him to beat 1t"
Hathaway took him to the Scne and
pointed out the girls body.
Five hours later Calvin took this
story to the Fall River police.
The body was found two miles over
the State line in Rhode Island, State
in which life imprisonment is the maxi
mum punishment for murder. In Mass
achusetts It is electrocution.

MACDONALD'S FATE
WITH LLOYD GEORGE
Liberal Eeader Win Help La
Dor Premier In Fight
for Life.
By Tie Associated Pross.

By tie Associated Press.
LONDON, March 25.--David Lloyd
George today was able to promise the
Labor government Of Prime Minister
Macdonald probably SUFFICIENT Liberal
support to keep it in ONCE indefinitely.
provided it asks Parliament to do Moth
ing offensive to Liberal principles.
The parliamentary Liberal party, in
an 8-hour private meeting last night.
after acrimonious debate voted 80 to II
in Endorsement of a statement of policy
drawn up by Lloyd George, which must
become the keynote of Labor legisla-
tive policy If Labor is to remain in
power.
The II votes cast against the doughty
Liberal leader, who many believe en-
gagged in q fight to eliminate his bril-
liant political career with another term
as premier, marked a high-water mark
for the Sir John Simon opposition
group, whose watchword has become
turn the rascals OUT
The Liberals voted against an out,
right alliance with the government
which has been darby limited for some
time, but which apparently was spiked
before the meeting with appointment of
Thomas Johnston, youthful undersec-
rotary for Scotland, as lord privy seal.

j. S. TO BEGIN PLAN
FOR EMPLOYMENT
Return of President to Mark
Permanent Steps for
Sterilization.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Permanent efforts by the Govern
ment to stabilize employment are ex-
pected to get under way formally soon
after President Hoover returns from
Porto Rico.
The work of following up public build
ing programs. now being done by the
Presidents Emergency Employment
Committee, and much Of the work of
the division of public construction of
the Commerce Department will be taken
over by the Federal Employment Sta
bilization Board, permanent body
created by the Wagner act.
The board already has taken pre-
liminary organization steps. The Com
merce Department announced today
that final plans await only the naming
OF q director, and this is expected soon
after the President returns.
The Federal Employment Stabiliza-
ton Board is composed of the Secre-
taTies of Labor, Treasury, Commerce
and Agriculture. Its work will be to
bring about advance planning of pub
lie Improvements in such a way that
work can be speeded during depression
and slowed down when times are pros
porous
ut is the theory Of the law" said a
statement issued at the department,
that the speeding up and slowing down
Of construction will be accomplished on
the basis of the boards advice given
after study of the business situation"
A nucleus Of the expert staff required
has existed in the department since
1929, when the Public Construction Di-
vision was formed, with James s. Taylor
as director. Part of the staff of the
Public Construction Division will be
transferred to the board.

'OUTSIDER OPPOSED
ON MEMORIAL WORK
Three Local Trade Bodies
Urge Doric Temple Contract
Be Given Local Firm.

Belief that the contract for con-
Struction of the Doric Temple. the Dis
trict Of Columbia World War memorial
to be erected soon in Potomac Park,
should be awarded to a local contractor
is expressed in letters received by E. J.
Murphy, chairman of the Buy-in-
Washington Council from the presi-
dents of the three local trade bodies.
The memorial will be erected south
Of the rejecting pool Of the Lincoln
Memorial Contracts for the construc-
ton CT this edifice will be awarded
shortly as the architect, Frederick H.
Brooke, proposes to open bids in his
office, 1918 Connecticut avenue, next
Tuesday.
Letters Oppose Outsider.
Reports that an out-of-town con-
tracing organization might possibly
submit the lowest bid fer the construc-
ton of the memorial and thereby gain
the contract, resulted in the letters urg-
ing that q purely local building orgam-
cation be given the work.
George Pitt, president Of the Board
of Trade, writing to Mr.. Murphy, eX-
pressed the belief that If the work is
given to a non-local contractor the
whole spirit behind the movement Tor
the memorial will be violated"
Mark LanSburgh, president OF Ine
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation. states that q large part OF the
funds for the memorial was given oy
local labor uniGl members ana oe-
clares that the letting of the work to
washington general and subccntrac-,
tors would be OF financial and moral
value to the city.
View Of c. c. President.
Harry King. president of the Cham
her of Commerce, states: Construction
of the war memorial by out-of-town
agencies would violate the principle and
do injustice to the people Of our city,
The once Of Public Buildings and
Public Parks is completing the removal

UNBEAUNOW
EVEN MONEY
To WIN

Aqua CALIENTE, Baja Cali.
fornia, Mexico, March 16.-Mike
Hall, r. M. Eastman's great long,
distance champion, cut in Zeke
CaresS' future book" on the
$4,000 Aqua Caliente Handicap
next Sunday from 10, 4 and 2, to
4, Q and even, is the toast Of the
hour here among racing fans, as
Sun Beau's price is boosted from
4 to to even money.
Trailing the flying Coe racer,
Caruso, by 20 lengths on the
back stretch, Mike" settled down
to a bit of running on the far
turn, in the Burbank Handicap Of
March 8 and was first to the wire,
a head in front of his stablemate,
Pigeon Hole.
Romans runs wild in the
career of Mike Hall. He was
cut out for a child of destiny.
His life reads like a fairy story.
Imagine a horse which ran in
cheap claiming races blazing a
trail that led to two American
track records, a splitting Of ma
tional hoaors with Display, and
finally to crusade across the seas
for the Ascot Gold Cup in Eng
land.
For such horse to culmipate
his proud record with a victory
in the Aqua Caliente Handicap,
worlds richest classic, would in
deed be fitting.
In the fall OF 1927 a thorough
bred meteor flashed in Kentucky,
a gelded sen of Hourless, which
did not race at two, and early at
three was deemed a common
platter.
Mike Hall bounded to ever
lasting fame at LatOnia by
creating a new time mark for a
mile and seventy yards. He
reeled off this distance in
1:4O 3-5.
Jumped to Maryland for the
Riggs Handicap, he finished
third, after which he returned to
Kentucky and was hardly off the
cars before he smashed another
American record in winning the
Latonia Cup-two miles and a
quarter-in 3:48 3-5.
Mike Hall was developed by
Walter Taylor, the lad who is
training him for the Aqua
Caliente. He has won at all
distances from one mile to two
and a quarter.
He has packed high imposts,
conceding many pounds to good
thoroughbreds. He has won by
IS lengths in muddy going. But
most important, when both were
at "tops," he walloped Sun Beau.
