ECONOMY REGIME FAILS TO
CUT RELATIVES PAYROLL

thrifty members are trying to make
their clerk hire allowances, mile
age, allowance for stationery and
other petty side revenue of a seat
in the house of representatives,
carry this years election expenses.
Many wife and daughter will have
to surrender government pin money
to help pay for dads campaign this
year. :.
For a time they had a close call
when the economy bill was being
considered. But members framed
the law so that their clerks come
under a special category. Each
congressman had been allowed
. $4,000 for clerk hire. The new law
cuts this 1-3 per cent, down to
$4583.33.
The Joker is contained in the fol-
lowing language: "Such reduced
allowance to be epportioned by the
representative, delegate or resident
commissioner among his clerks as
he may determine"
The clerk of the house has Off
cially notified each member that
the old top limit of $1,000 to any
one clerk stands without reduction.
Within that limitation, the same as
has always applied, the congress-
man may split his $4583.33 any way
he wishes.
Furthermore congressman eX-
empted themselves from the provis-
ion requiring that in dismisslng
employees the first to go must be
married persons when both are
working for the government and
that in hiring new employees pre-
ference should be given to persons
other than those with wife or hus-
band on the government payroll.
Application of the married worker
provision to congress would nave
stricken off the wives of Speaker
Garner and Democratic Leader
Rainey and numerous others.

CONSIDER PLAN
FOR USING NEW
PENAL BUILDING

SACRAMENTO July 13. WP)-
Governor Rolph is seriously con-
sidering" a proposal by the San
Francisco News to turn the new
California institution for women
at Tehachapi into a prison for first
offenders, it was learned at the
governors offices today.
The proposal, transmitted to the
executive by Attorney General
U. S. Webb and ROLAND A. Vande-
grift, director of the state depart
ment of finance, may be included
in the governors call for a special
session of the legislature, it was
indicated.
Webb last week ruled that the
Tehachapi institution, representing
$500,000 investment, could not be
used as a prison for women felons.
Likewise, it was pointed out to the
governor that if the state does not
buy site and build the Southern
California prison ordered by the
last legislature, the taxpayers Of
California would be saved approx
mately $1,000,000.
At some future time, Director
Vandegrift said, when financial
conditions of the state improve, the
women's prison could be con-
structed.

FIRE AT BRAWLEY
UNDER PROBE BY
HEALD'S OFFICE

District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
and Harold Gillett, investigator for
the sheriff's office, today were in
the midst of an investigation into
the cause of a fire which Sunday
night destroyed the $4,000 mer-
chandise stock of r. c. Fernandez
at Brawley, causing $1,000 damage
to the building.
Evidence has come to light, ac-
cording to the official, that the
fire was set intentionally, possibly
by enemies of Fernandez. Three
cans which had contained gasoline
and kerosene were found in the
charred interior of the building af-
ter the fire.
The fire was discovered about II
o'clock Sunday night. Fernandez,
who had been in the store at 8
o'clock, left for Jacumba before the
fire was reported. He had been
suffering from illness. and at ia
cumba decided to return to the
valley the same night, arriving here
after the fire had been extinguish-
ed.

French Planning
New Fruit Tariff

PARIS, July 13. W.P)-New tariffs
on importation of fresh fruit which
would seriously damage the United
States export trade with France,
valued at $l0,0O0,000 year, were
being considered today by the min
istry of agriculture.
The official journal announced
import quotas on fruit, established
for July, do not allot quota to
the United States, as the United
States does not export fruit in
July. However, it was explained the
quota is merely temporary meas
ure to restrain imports until a high
er fruit tariff can be passed by par
Lament.
The tariff will be at least double
the present rate, 1t was understood.
French fruit growers are backing
the measure, as they backed the de-
cree against the San Jose scale,
which proved ineffective at keeping
out United States fruit.

It is the belief of the district at

Gently elected to draw up a pro-
posed county charter can draw a
salary in connection with the task
assigned the board of freeholders.
This was the statement of C. @.
Halliday, deputy district attorney,
when the freekoders waited upon
the supervisors this morning TO
present a budget calling for ex-
penditure of $500 in investigations
and other labors connected with the
proposed charter.
The budget included an item of
$500 as salary for a secretary, whorl
the freeholders originally had
planned to choose from among
their own group. They agreed,
however, to choose an outsider as
secretary in case the states at
torney general concurs in the opin-
ion of the district attorney.
Halliday further explained that
1t is the opinion of the district at
torney that the freeholders, as
officers engaged in work for the
county, have right to contingent
expenses if the supervisors are
willing to make an appropriation.
Henry Jackson, chairman of the
board of supervisors, explained that
the board is unwilling to pass on
the budget until every member is
present, and because of the alb
sence today of A. Y. Preble con-
tinued until Saturday morning fur
ther consideration of the budget.
This was after Dorsey WhitelaW,
as spokesman for the freeholders,
asked if the budget could not be
accepted today, subject to the rul-
ing of the attorney general on the
matter of salaries paid to men,
bers of the board of freeholders.
Urge Budget Acceptance
Scott B. Foulds appeared on be-
half of the farm bureau to urge
that the budget be accepted.

PI1RIJC SENTIMENT AGAINST ANY
MOVEMENT TO SLASH WAR DEBTS

trade gold for sunken European
battleships and disbanded regl-
ments. Such a trade, one official
said. would be an insult to the
debtor nations.
But the relation seen by some
officials between disarmament and
war debts is through American pub
lie opinion. They believe that the
average American shares Senator
Borah's view that if Europe can
spend billions on battleships, artil-
lery and soldiers it can pay mil
lions on war debts.
The President is understood to
hold a similar view.
If, therefore, the nations Of Eur
ope, when they resume the general
disarmament conference at Geneva
next fall, are willing really to re-
duce their arms. officials believe
the American public may be more
lenient toward debt revision.
Senator Johnson, who fought the
one year moratorium tooth and nail
last December, shared the view that
the coming debt installments will
not be paid.
"They Will be met by another
moratorium" he protested, "and the
$270, 100000 added to the burden on
the backs of the American taxpay-
er, a thing this congress ought not
to allow"
"It's time there should be some
sort of warning by those who think
this government belongs to one peo~
ple-the American people.

more than anything else. I cry out
against secrecy-secrecy about a
thing that concerns every taxpayer
1t ought not to be tolerated. We've
reached the place where every ma
ton on the face of the earth ex-
poets cancellation, and we. have
reached it because we began with
the moratorium"

WASHINGTON, July 13. WH-
Just as the unemployment relief
bill was called up for action in the
house today, Senator Bingham
(Rep) Connecticut, moved to re-
consider the vote last night by
which the $2,122,oO0,O00 measure
was passed in the senate.
Bingham challenged the $322,-
100000 public works appropriation
in the bill as eXtravagant.
Bingham cited the fact that the
bill was sponsored in the senate by
four Democrats, Senators Wagner,
New York; Pittman, Nevada;
Walsh, Massachusetts, and Buckley,
Ohio, and added that the measure
proposed spending as much for
public works as had been saved this
session by cutting appropriations.
He recalled that the Democratic
platform pledged eliminating ex-
travagance to accomplishing a saw
ing of not less than 25 per cent
in the cost of federal government. +"
" 1.-The leaders of the Democratic
party in the senate" Bingham con-
tinued, have by their urgency in
jamming through their so-called
relief bill last night, undone all
the work we have been trying to
do in an effort to balance the
budget and reduce governmental
expenditures. Their platform calls
for immediate and drastic reduc-
ton. Their actions last night,
which I hope will be reconsidered
b today, call for extravaganza in fed
eral aid for road construction and
other extravagances to the tune of
many millions of dollars"

PUzZLINC FACTS

REYNOLDS CASE
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press Staff Correspondent

By MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press Staff Correspondent
WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., July
13. (U.P) = Investigators tried to
learn today why three persons who
searched the room in which Smith
Reynolds was shot failed to find
the death gun until five hours
later when one of the three stepped
on the weapon-lying in front OF
the door,
That is Just one of several puz-
zling facts revealed in secret testi-
mony in the investigation as OBJ
tanned today by the United Press
Among other questions that con-
fused Investigators and the coro-
ner's jury which ruled that the
youthful heir to millions died at
the hands of a person or persons
unknown" were these:
Why was Mrs. Reynolds bedroom
slipper beside the bed of her hus-
bands young friend, Albert Cab
Walker, and her sweater in hi;
bathroom?
How could the gun have beer
to the right of the bed, near the
door, while the cartridge wai
found on the opposite side of the
bed?
How could the bullet range
slightly downward through Smith
Reynolds brain, from his right
temple to below his left ear, and
yet pass through a door screen six
feet two inches from the floor?
Why was there no bloody trail
from the spot where Smith was
shot to the place where he was
placed in the automobile for the
trip to the hospital where he died
in one room as his exotic wife and
his friend, Walker, sat in another?
There are possible explanations
to the last two questions not de-
veloped in the secret testimony re-
vealed to the United Press.
Had Smith Reynolds stood near
the foot of the bed in the room
where he was shot, lifted the gun
to his right temple as his head
dropped slightly forward, the bull
let would have coursed through his
head and the screen door in ac-
cordance with the evidence.
Testimony was to the effect that
Walker and Libby Holman Reyn-
olds, both under influence of
liquor, carried the wounded youth
to the automobile. Smiths head
rested in the arms of his wife one
part of the time, and on Walkers
shoulder the remainder of the
time. Absence of a bloody trail
could be easily explained under
such circumstances.
The transcript of evidence con-
tains the detailed testimony of
Walker, who was held for three
days as a material witness; Miss
Blanche Yurka, New York actress;
DR.. Fred NJ. Hanes; the widow,
Libby Holman, and several en-
ployees of the Reynolds estate.

DRIVER OF TRUCK
CHOOSES DEATH
TO SAVE OTHERS

BAKERSFIELD, July 13. U.H =
Jack Klieby, 38year-old Long
Beach gasoline truck driver, today
was hailed as hero, because, au-
thorities said, he chose death for
himself rather than endanger other
motorists.
Klieby died in his flaming truck
after he had deliberately crashed
it into the side of Dead Mans
curve in TETON canyon to avoid
hitting oncoming automobiles.
The drive shaft of the truck had
broken, throwing it out of control,
coroners deputies said after an
investigation. 1t caught fire after
the crash, spraying flaming gaso-
line over the road and tying up
traffic for several hours
Klieby, it was understood, was
enroute to Fresno with the load of
fuel.
He leaves his wife at Long Beach.
