SUE.
LILY PONS

NEW YORK, March 81 U.S0.
Here is a problem in law and
algebra that was presented to the
supreme court for solution yeSter-
day: How much money does Lily
Pons, the latest soprano sensation
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, receive for herself if:
/. The Metropolitan manage
ment takes one-third of all her
earnings on and off the stage for
engaging her.
2. Bruno Zerato, the Metropol-
itan musical director, takes one
twentieth for professional assist
ance.
8. M. Alberti, vocal teacher, of
Paris, takes one-twentieth for
recommending her.
4. Maria and Giovanni Zena-
tello, agents, take fifteen-hun-
dredths for managing her.
These assessments against the
income of the young French
singer were listed by the zena-
tellos to Justice Ford as the real
reason why Nine. Pons is trying
to break her contract with them.
Counsel for the soprano argued
that the zenatellos' suit should be
thrown out because their proper
recourse was to sue the singer for
damages. Justice Ford reserved
decision.

The latest massacre occurred
in Unao. located on the opposite

j. 8. To DEPORT
ALIEN REDS

The Labor Department is to in
woke the weapon of deportation
against alien leaders in the Com
munist movement as a part of a
vigorous drive against all aliens
illegally in the country, it was
learned today.
Backed by the recent action of
the Supreme Court in approving,
in effect, a lower court ruling
that Communist advocating
overthrow of the Government can
be depOrted, the department is
understood to be listing Com
muniSt leaders who can be
reached under this power.
The action of the department
in refusing to extend the visa of
Feodor M. ziavkin, general man
ager of the Amtorg Trading
Corp, of New York, was hailed
by Representative Fish (RO of
New York, chairman of the House
Committee which Investigated
Communist propaganda, as a
move in the right direction.
Said Fish:
Deportation Of about 1000
Communist leaders would help
the situation"
Although Congress failed to act
upon any of the recommenda-
tions of his committee, Fish re-
fuses to be discouraged. Instead
he and Representative Bachmann
(RO of West Virginia, through
speeches, have inaugurated a
widespread campaign to arouse
public sentiment.

FAST DRIVING
BLAMEDBY
HUSBAND
Rich Spectator Refuses to
Believe Wife Ended Life;
Rites Set for Tomorrow

NICE, France, March 81 I.N.S)
Mystified by conflicting testimony
after an inquest into the death
plunge of Mrs. David Townsend,
American wife of an Australian
millionaire and ex-Follies star
known as Peggy Davis, police to-
day returned a verdict officially
ascribing the tragedy to suicide
or accident"
The chief of police at Laturbie,
who has charge Of the inveStiga-
ton of the former Ziegfeld stars
death, stated that farewell note
found beside her body at the foot
of suicide leap" cliff undoubtedly
was written Saturday night, a
short time before the car hurtled
over the precipice.
Intention Not Specific
He pointed out, however, that
Its contents did not specifically
indicate intention to commit sui
eide ON the part of the writer,
and therefore decided on "sui-
eide or accident verdict.
The former Ziegfeld star, 1t
was stated, will be buried in the
Catholic cemetery at Eze tomor-
row, short distance from
suicide cliff" a parapet along
the Mediterranean seashore where
her expensive car dropped 200
feet to the bottom Saturday
night.
David Townsend, her husband,
reiterated that her death must
have been accidental. He refuses
to believe that his wife COM
mitted suicide, despite her fare
well note expressing desire to
die rather than go on with life.
Wrote Note In Her Car
Evidence at the inquest was
brought to show that the suicide
note was written on a menu card
more than a month old, but this
brought a direct contradiction
from the proprietor of golfing
hotel where Mrs. Townsend
paused to drink two brandies
shortly before her death.
The proprietor declared Mrs.
Townsend drove up to his hotel
Saturday night and remained
seated in her car while he per.
sonally served her with two
brandies. While drinking these,
he stated, she scribbled the note
found beside her crushed body.
Townsend, who made a fortune
in Wall Street, said he would
oppose any suicide conclusions
and pictured his wife as driving
too rapidly along the winding,
dangerous cliff road. He said:
"There are many dangerous
turns in the road" perhaps
the two drinks she had taken
unnerved Peggy. She was al
ways animated; I never knew
her to be depressed"
Near Balsan Estate
The cliff over which Mrs.
Townsend hurtled to her death
is at the side of a deep ravine
near the estate of Col. Jack
Balsan, husband Of Consuelo
Vanderbilt.
Mrs. Townsend was born in
Birmingham, Ala. Her mother,
Mrs. Mary Laird, resides in
Monte Carlo.

KILLER BURKE
EXPECTS HELP
FROM GANGS
Most Dangerous Criminal"
Almost Broke, He Admits;
Aid Will Come, He Insists

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, March 81
GNSD Fred Burke. described
by police as "the most dangerous
gangSter in America" and the
purported slayer of 81 men, is
nearly broke, according to the
killer himself today.
The super-assassin declared he
was depending on New York and
Chicago gangsters to raise
fund to finance his defense
against charges of first degree
murder in connection with the
Staying of Patrolman Charles
Skelly here.
His Money Tied Up
Burke was said to have had
several thousand dollars at the
time of his arrest, but "it isn't
near enough for my defense" he
stated.
Burke, who less than two years
ago posed as retired and
wealthy man and lived in pre-
tentious home near here, declared
he was expecting an attorney
from either Chicago or New York
to fight the murder charges. He
insisted:
"There will be a lawyer here.
I don't know who he will be,
or where he will be from, but
%E1nun will hn nvnnO
Barrett O'Hara, Chicago crimi-
nal lawyer, whose arrival here
yesterday led to reports that he
had been retained to defend
Burke, left late last night after
learning Burke was without
funds, according to reports. He
might return, O'Hara admitted,
but he was not at all sure.
Seek Former "Wife"
Meanwhile, it was learned that
officials here are seeking Mrs.
Viola Brennerman, formerly OF
Kankakee, ILL.,, who lived with
Burke as his wife prior to the
Skelly killing.
Police believe that the woman
may be ready to talk now as the
result of Burke's marriage to an
other woman, the daughter Of a
Missouri farmer.
Burke, held in closely Guard
ed cell which has been termed
escape proof, was alternatively
in a joking and surly mood.
Asked how he liked his mar
row cell, Burke replied:
"It was almost Os good as
the Ritz"
His Golf Clubs Sold
He lost his attitude of good
humor, however, after he inquired
about his fishing tackle and golf
clubs which he was forced to
abandon here when he fled after
the Skelly murder.
Told that his wife" (MTs.
BrennermanO had sold them, he
snarled:
Robbed of everything, eh!"

BROTHERS CASE
HAS DEFENSE
WORRIED
st. Louis Gunman Positively
Identified as Man Seen
Near Scene of the Murder

CHICAGO, March 81 G.N.SO
Who will be called today as the
first witness in the defense of
Leo v. Brothers, st. Louis gun
man on trial for the murder of
Alfred Lingle, racketeering re-
porter, was uncertain as the de-
fense prepared to present it's evi-
dence today. Brothers attorneys
admitted that there was a posi-
bility that the stoical defendant
himself would take the stand in
his own defense. The st. Louis
gunman's attorneys have promised
to match the States eight wit
nesses. man for man. to deny
that the killer they saw flee from
the subway after the racketeer-
ing reporters urder was
Brothers.
The State brought its case
against Brothers to an abrupt
close yesterday afternoon before
a tense, crowded courtroom after
the eighth witness, Albert Kelf-
StrOm, pointed an accusing finger
at Brothers and said:
81 never can forget that
face"
Brothers appeared disturbed by
Kelfstrom's Identification.
Kelfstrom, a buyer for a trunk
works near the subway where Lin
gle was slain, testified that several
minutes after Lingle's murder he
found Brothers lurking in a hall
way entrance of the shop.
Studied Face 10 Minutes
For 10 minutes, he said, he
studied Brothers face as the Gus,
toner bought a wOman's suitcase
which was never called for. The
man was extremely agitated and
very pale, he said.
OF the eight important wit
nesses the State has presented
seven who have identified Broth
ers without hesitancy as the killer
who fled the death subway. Only
the Rev. John Reynolds, of Notre
Dame University, qualified his
identification by saying the de-
fendant answers the general de-
scription" of the fleeing gunman
Three of these witnesses have
admitted that they are on the
payroll of the State attorneys
office and one of these three,
Pat Campbell, is under indict-
ment as a gunman, discovery
that was made by Brothers at
torneys yesterday.
Fail to Show Motive
The prosecution failed to show
a motive for the death of Lingle.

shake-up and a new police ad-
ministration. Investigation has
shown that he was put On the
spot" because as unofficial
police chief" he had crossed the

gang.
That Brothers. fate may hinge
on the discrepancy of testimony
as to whether the fleeing killer
wore hat was agreed by court
room followers today. Two of
the States witnesses said Lingle'S
executiOner wore a straw hat,
while six others said he was bare
headed.
Kelfstrom said Brothers wore
a sailor straw hat when he
entered the trunk shop after
Lingle was killed.

TAYUG'S RECORD
OF UNREST HOLDS
Scene of Bandit Battle in
Philippines Has Had Quakes
and Floods.

Tayug, where recently native Philip
pine constabulary fought q pitched bat
tles with bandits, is in the heart Of q
district long famous for internal un-
rest, both political and seismic.
"Since the early days of Spanish oc-
cupation the people of Pangasinan
Province have been source of trouble
and earthquakes have been frequent
and destructive" says a bulletin from
the National Geographic Society. The
temblor of 1880 was one of the longest
on record, when the earth shook and
trembled for more than five months.

"The general scene of the most re-
cent disturbance, PangaSinan Province,
and its neighbor, Nueva Ecija, may
easily be located on a Philippine map
by the hump ON the west coast of North
Luzon. These two spread in narrow
band across the island from Lingayen
Gulf to the east coast. Included within
their boundaries are some of the most
fertile fields in the islands. Rice, to-
bacco, sugar cane, coconutS and corn
are raised, although floods often ruin
the crops. Common salt Is so abundant
in natural deposits that 'Pangasinan'
signifies the place where salt is made
"Tayug is directly north of Manila,
distant by air about 100 miles. In colo
NAL days it was the headquarters for
the region of the Augustinian mission
aries. Today, while not an important
pueblo, its population has grown rap
Idly to more than 1880 people. To
reach Tayug, nesting at the foot of the
massive Benguet Mountains, the visitor
must travel about 40 miles from Lin
Rayen, capital of the province, over
poor roads and through swampy coun-
+, try.

IN the rainy season that within half an
hour the water deepens from around the
ankles to above ones head.
THE Spanish divided the Philippines
into provinces according to tribal boun-
