WOMEN NOT OBLIGATED FOR JURORS BY VOTING

Reports received today by political workers indicated an effort was being made to impress women if they vot-. ed they were obligated for service as jurors. This is not true. No woman voter is obliged to serve on jur- ies. Women can claim ex- emption from such service by simply saying they do not want to serve.
 No woman who desires to vote should be deterred from so doing by fear of having to do jury duty.

VALUE OF PHONE
AS NEWS AGENCY
Never Before as Greatly
! Emphasized as in Re-
cent Lindbergh Case
FLASHED FIRST NEWS

+ Probably never before in Amer
lean history has the use Of the
'country's telephone systems been
SO greatly emphasized in the
spreading of news both to police
and the public as 1t was In the
case of the KIDNAPPING of the 20
month old son of Colonel and Mrs
Charles A. Lindbergh, officials of
the Southern New England Tele-
phone company declare.
The very first news OF the kid
mapping was flashed over a police
teletypewriter system which Is
practically identical with that
which inter-connects the state and
municipal police departments OF
Connecticut, seventeen different
headquarters in all. BY means OF
these teletypewriter SYSTEMS by
which the typewriter word ap-
pears simultaneously on all other
teletypwriters in the system, word
of the crime was flashed in an un-
believably short time to police de-
partments throughout the East and
by the same means police were
constantly appraised of new clues
and the progress of the search.
The telephone, itself, played a
huge part In the work Of the news
papers and press services. When

called at the request of LaGuardia.

outnuinbered him. No action was
taken.
The insurgent amendments now
inserted in the bill will produce
$3.50, 900, 900 a year more in rev.

vided. AS 1t stands now the bill

make up some Of this lost revenue.
LaGuardia indicated, however, that
he had no hope of producing a
balanced bill from the mob on the
floor.
The. wartime surtaX. rates added
$3.50, 100000 to the bill, according
to Crisp's estimate. 1t proposed
to carry the 40 per cent maximum
rate in the bill on incomes of $780,
600 up to 65 per cent on incomes
of $5,000,O00 and more. The bill
did not go beyond 100000 as re-
ported by the ways and means
committee. This amendment pass
ed 1853 to 81 revealing almost a
two to one majority for 1t.
The second amendment would
raise only $3O,0oO,0O0. 1t increased
the present S per cent normal rate
on incomes above $4,000 TO per
cent instead of per cent as the
committee recommended. This
passed 121 to 81.
