RADICAL TRIAL
POSTPONED To
7 TOMORROW
District Attorney Asks More
Time to Probe Records
Of Is Alleged Reds

A hearing on writ OF
habeas corpus for Is men who
were arrested in the police
roundup of the remnants OF
the banus army, was continued
until tomorrow when the case
was called today before Justice
James NJ. Proctor, in District
Supreme Court.
The motion to postpone was
made by District Attorney Leo
A. Rover, who explained to the
court that immigration authori-
ties desired further time to check
up the records of the men to
ascertain if any are eligible for
deportation.
Protests Against Delay
Attorneys for the veterans,
David Levinson and Irwin
Schwab, representing the In
terna tional Labor defense, pro-
tested vigorously against the
Governments motion, but they
we're unavailing.
Levinson declared the Govern
ment agents had had plenty Of
time" to complete their check.
Schwab pointed out to the
court that no specific charges
have been filed against any OF
the men, with the exception OF
Emmanuel Levin, one of the left
wing" leaders among the bonus
marchers.
Levin is charged with disturb
ing the peace, but the others are
held merely for investigation" l."
Argument BY Attorney
Government agents have no
right. Schwab asserted with some
heat, to snatch men off the
street. throw them in Jail. and
then take their own time about
investigating their records.
The men were picked up Friday
night, he pointed out, and the
police refused to allow attorneys
to see them until Saturday night
and Sunday morning.
In the end. however, the Gov"
ernment's plea for delay pre-
vailed.

NJ CARL IS ASKED
To CLEAR ACT

The Civil Service Commission
today is taking the lead in the
first move made thus far by q
Federal office against provisions
of the economy act or the inter-
pretations of the act by Comp
troler General ]. R. McCarl.
Acting for the commission, its
secretary, E. Claude Babcock, to-
gether with Samuel Gompers,
chief clerk of the Labor Depart
ment. and E. H. Chamberlin, of
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics, today formulated
a presentation" to be submitted
to McCarl, asking "elucidation"
Of his decision late yesterday.
McCarl ruled that Federal Of
fices must work off the COM
pulsory 24working day furlough
before starting any administrative
furlough found necessary, and
that the two cannot run concur
rently.
He also declared that those
Federal offices going on a five
day week for 48 weeks to work
off the legislative furlough must
reduce salaries by one-twelfth, or
8.3 per cent, although per diem
employees on a five-day week for
the entire year get a one-eleventh
salary reductionn.
The three offices are now on a
five-day week. In asking for an
elucidation of the pay reduction
decisions, they indicate McCarls
office is splitting hairs" and
causing turmoil in disbursing Of
fices. They seek some modifica-
ton for uniformitys sake.

SMALL COTTON
CROP LOOMS

Based on a condition Of $50
per cent of normal on August
/, the United States will have
a cotton crop this year of ap,
proximately 11,3O6,000 bales OF
500 pounds gross weight. the
Crop Reporting Board announced
today in it's first cotton produc.
ton report of the year. The in.
dicated yield of lint cotton is
1895 pounds per acre.
In connection with it's forecast
the board issued this statement:
"If the indicated production
of 11,306,OO0 bales is realized,
this will be 5,79O,OOO bales less
than last years crop and 1852.
600 bales less than the average
of the last five years.
"The prospects for the crop
are more uncertain than usual
because boil weevilS are pres
ent in greater numbers than in
any year since 1928. Recent
ShOwery weather has favored
the multiplication of weeviIS in
many places.
"The amount of fertilizer ap-
piled to cotton this season was
much less than for several
years past. In many places
the plants are smaller than
usual"
