KILLERS NAMED
BY PORTER

DETROIT, March 26 G.N.SO.
Robert Jackson, colored porter
at the LaSalle Hotel here where
Gerald Buckley was assassinated
by the underworld, today took
the witness stand at the trial Of
three reputed gangsters for the
Staying of the radio crusader and
definitely identified the three
alleged hoodlums as the killers
of Buckley.
Jackson declared that he had
been in the lobby of the hotel on
the night of the Staying and that
he saw Ted PiZZinO and Joe Bonn
maritO, two of the three men on
trial, flee from the hOSteIry with
guns in their hands.
MOtiOned to Gunmen
Angelo Livecchi, the third de-
fendant in the court drama, &C
cording to Jackson, had ;notioned
to the gunner. The State con-
tends that Pizzino and Bommar-
ito were two of the actual "trig-
ger-men" and that Levecchi was
the "finger-man," who pointed
Buckley out to the slayers.
The status of Fred Tara, the
witness renamed to Jail on sus-
picion of perjury, was tempora-
rily put aside.
Meanwhile, the court drama,
which started February "a, was
marked by the following develop
ments:
1. Defense attorneys were to
demand appointment of a COM
mission to test the sanity of Fred
"The Terrible" Tara, once called
the States star witness and now
jailed for suspicion of perjury.
Brunette on Stand
2. Beatrice Jermane, beautiful
brunette sweetheart Of Livecchi,
was to take the witness stand.
3. It was learned from reliable
sources that a second grand jury
to probe the Buckley trial will be
requested as soon as the trial
ends.

Third Witness Connects
Brothers With Killing

Foster stepped over and Lit it for

still remained in his pocket; this
incident made him suspicious, he
said.
Picks Brothers As Killer
The chef on direct examina-
ton had pointed Brothers out in
the court room as the man he
first saw at the subway entrance
and later as he raced across
Michigan Boulevard after the
death shot had been fired.
SWoboda, as in the case of the
first witness, Warren o. Williams,
admitted he had been receiving
funds from the prosecution for

investigator for the States at
torney's office, has been giving
him money regularly-about $25

FARM ENVOY

Secretary of State Stimson to-
day pointedly rebuked alleged
efforts of James A. Simpson, pro-
gressive farm leader of Okla
homa, to make it appear that he
is the Official American dele
gate to the meeting of the Inter
national Institute of Agriculture,
now being held in Rome.
Mr.. Simpson is a strong
opponent of the Hoover Admins
traiton on farm relief issues and
took a leading part in the ma
tional conference of progreSSives,
recently held in the Capital.
The State Department appar.
emily fears that Mr.. Simpson,
who went to Rome directly after
the progressive conference will
put the American Government in
false light before the inter-
national gathering on agri-
cultural issues. 1t has cabled
its diplomatic representatives in
Rome to make it clear that he
is not a representative of the
United States at the institute
meeting, and is attending it only
in his personal capacity and as

Clinics in Behavior
Needed for Schools

NEW YORK, March 26.-Be-
havior clinics are needed in the
schools as a step toward crime
prevention, Miss Henrietta Addi-
ton, a director in the crime pre-
vention bureau of the police de-
partment, told the Smith College
Club. She said:
"It would be far more economi-
cal to have such clinics as a
means of crime prevention, than
to wait until the wayward minors
become a danger to society, for
crime investigation at the present
time has shown that the majority
of the prisoners in our institu-
tionS were listed previously as
juvenile delinquentS."

Gandhi Losing Power;
Barely Misses Attack

KARACHI, India, March 26
UNSO.-Fervid nationalism, en-
bittered by the execution of three
natives and the determination OF
party leaders to strive for the
realization Of Indian aims by a
peaceful policy of cooperation,
produced grave situation IN
Indian today as Nationalist con-
gressional delegates assembled
here for tomorrow's opening ses-
sion of their annual Congress.
Mahatma Gandhl, leader OF the
NatiOnaliSts, arrived after mar
rOwIy escaping a beating by an
enraged young Indian, while re-
ports from CawnpOre indicated
50 persons were killed and 200
injured during a reign of terror
when Hindus and MOSlemS
clashed over the question Of OBJ
serving a mourning strike Tor
the hanged men.
Attack StirS GandhiSts
Bombay, Calcutta, and other
cities reported strikes and demon
strations by extremists, who
stormed and shouted against the
executions. The trio was hanged
at Lahore Monday after conV1c-
ton on charges, of murder ana
bomb outrageS. /
Gandhists, who have respected
the person of their leader as
sacred, were shocked and amazed
when informed of the attempted
attack on the Holy Man. IL
occurred as Gandhi and his party
arrived at Malir station, IL miles
from here. A member OF the
Youth of India League tried to
strike him with flagpole, but
was overpowered by Gandhls
followers.
Strength Seen On Wane
The incident, occurring on top
OF blatant demonstrations against
Gandhi's policy of pursuing In
dian aims peacefully in accord
once with the truce arranged by
him and VicerOy Lord Irwin,
generated uneasy feelings in the
ranks of Nationalist leaders. Here
tofore his unquestiOned popu-
Iarity and hold on the masses has
aS all times been the chief factor
of influence in the Indian Situa-
ton.
The youth league gradually
drew away from the gospel OF
patience, peace and passive re-
sistance if necessary, consistently
adhered to by Gandhi. 1t became
more revolutionary in the past
year, finally challenging the course
of the Indian Nationalist leader
outright.
Youthful members of the league
have adopted ktight red coats as
their uniform. shouting:
"DOwn with Gandhi!"
The congress, which opens here
tomorrow, will Immediately be
confronted with the question OF
ratifying the Gandhi-Irwin truce.
Reinforced police detachments
have been posted everywhere to
curb expected demonstrations and
outbursts by radical factions.
KARACHI, India, March &c
I.N.SO .-Rejectio by the Indian
Nationalist congress of his agree
ment with Viceroy Lord Irwin
would mean Mahatma Gandhi's
temporary retirement from politi-
cal life, the Nationalist leader
declared in an interview here to-
day. Ganhdi said:
rejection of the agreement
would mean a vote of non
confidence in my leadership,
and would leave me no course
but to withdraw from political
life for a time.
'Tf the congress approves the
agreement / will not accept an
Open mandate from the con.
greSS to the round table confer
ence, but will ask the congress
to define the term indepen-
dence' and reveal its attitude

HOOVER COMES
HOME MONDAY
FROM ISLES
Arizona Will Dock at Hampton
Roads Sunday; President
Spends Time keisureIy

ABOARD U. S. S. ARIZONA,
March 26 QN.SO President
Hoover again availed himself Of
the opportunity for mental and
physical relaxation today as the
battleship Arizona, with the Carib-
bean possessions Of the United
States in her wake, proceeded
homeward at leisurely pace.
The Chief Executive, adhering
to the schedule announced at the
start Of the cruise, alternately
rested, exercised and mapped.
The Arizona expected to reach
Hampton Roads Sunday night.
The presidential party will en-
train for Washington immedi.
ateTy, reaching the Capital Mon
day morning.
Dinner on Quarter Deck
A dinner on the quarter deck,
given in the Presidents honor by
the ships officers, followed
shortly after the Virgin Islands
were lost to view.
Rain poured down in true tropi-
cal manner as the Arizona
steamed out of st. Thomas Har.
Dor at 3 p. M, yesterday.
The visit to Porto Rico aid the
Virgin Islands brought President
Hoover face to face with the
problems and difficulties of the
country's newest insular posses
sions. His reactions were not
disclosed, but there was a general
impression in the Presidential
party that the islands, purchased
from Denmark IA years ago to
Illustrate anticipated seizure by
Germany, tended toward a heavy
liability rather than an asset.
Confers With Governor
Observers doubted whether the
group, which so far has proved
constant drain on the Federal
Treasury, would ever be SeIf-Sup-
porting.
The island situation was re-
view by the President in a con.
ference with the new governor.
DR.. Paul Pearson, various civic or.
ganizations presented memorials
to the Chief Executive. one Of
them containing the request that
prohibition insofar as it affects
the Virgin Islands be repealed.
Other requests made were that
large estates be purchased and
apportioned for cultivation by
individuals; that loans or appro"
priations be utilized to speed up
rehabilitation projects, and that
the naval station Of the islands
be retained.
Sugar Strike Settled
Native commercial leaders
pointed out to President Hoover
that the st. Croix sugar strike
has been settled, ending the worst
labor dispute as yet experienced
in the islands.
There was no question that the
Presidential visit was highly
appreciated and productive Of
much good will. Unparalleled
demonstrations Of popularity
greeted the visitor everywhere.
Returning to Washington,
President Hoover will remain con-
frOnted with demands for ST..
100000 for Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands, with slim pros.
poets of eventual returns.

"anile and senile." They include:
A law prohibiting the purchase OF

A law against injuring the Onon-

A law against wearing the in

A law against Easter parades.
