 Answering criticisms, Haydon says roads are being built for 25 per cent less than few years ago. He says 85 to 90 per cent of every road dollar ultimately goes to labor figuring labor involved in transpor- tation and manufacture of ma- terials. But actually of. $350 re- quired to keep a workman on road work, the man gets only $75, &C., cording to department of agricul- ture figures.
 The same arguments are used for public building construction.
 In urging his $2,000,000,0O0 pub lie works program, Wagner said:
 "The effect of an enlarged con- struction program would be elec- trio. White-collar men and men in overalls, farmers and merchants, all would feel its beneficient in- fluence. The butcher and baker would soon know that million ad- ditional workers had pay envelopes in their pockets"
 On the other side is Undersec- retary of Treasury Mills, warning that the nations credit will be en- dangered by excessive increase in the public debt.
 Impair that credit" he said re- gently after observing that federal bonds are under par, "and the next day thousands of development pro- jects will stop. Thousands of busi- ness men dependent on credit re- newals will get refusals from the bankers. Thousands of mortgages which otherwise would be re- newed or extended will be fore closed. Merchants who would buy on credit will cancel orders. Factories that would manufacture on part capacity at least will close down."

 The man said they were sitting in his automobile when they heard noises like a tire blowout. Horimoto looked out and was slugged on the head with a revolver. The holdup man dragged him out of the car, struck him again and robbed him, but the Japanese retained con- sciousness.
 Next, Horimoto said, he was forced back into the machine and ordered to drive a short distance to a plantation railroad track. There he wis tied to the rails.
 Miss Okazaki said the assailant then apnrOached her
 Do you want money?" she asked.
 He replied "no" and then grabbed for her, she said. The woman attempted to flee but he overpowered her.
 Meanwhile, Horimoto freed him. self and ran to the nearby airport for aid. The attacker asked the woman where she lived and then drove to within Q block of her home, in a tllickly populated dis trict. He put her out of the car and drove away.
 Police said both victims iden- tified Lyman as their assailant from a police photograph. The wo- man was taken to Q hospital.
 The convict escaped with Louis Kaigapu, another Oahu inmate, who entered an American woman's house in Honolulu and robbed and attacked her. He was recaptured and sentenced to life Imprisonment, but Lyman remained at large.

 The picture is a sensational expose of the cause leading to recent prison riots, cliimaxed with an actual riot in which a hundred men battle. Prisoners in revolt are besieged in a cell house, where they kill guards and drop them out one by one until quelled with army tanks. As a contrast romantic love story Is woven into the grim tale.

Mrs Kelley Appeals to Intellect in Denouncng Amend
ment Rev Kenneth Kingston Upholds Law

Mrs Kelley explained that her
organization Is not interested In
the return Of liquor. Unfortunate.
ly, she pointed out liquor has never
left the United States but merely
became removed from the restric-
lions that formerly held 1t down
under the supervision of the re-
venue department. The growth In
the number of>racketeers was also
pointed to. Farmers, she added,
look to the Volstead act as a farm
relief measure only because of the
fact that they have found apple
jack to be more profitable than
eggs or milk.
Rev Mr. Kingston stated that he
imagines tho evil Of alcohol Is adj
mitted on both sides and alluded
to alcohol as q poison. Prohibit
ion, he added, IL not an attempt to
make people good but Is based on
the truth that no man llveth
to himself alone. He stated that
here must be some control over the
interrelations Of peoples lives. He
said, In discussing personal liberty,
that the DuPonts, who now sup
port the anti-prohibition move.
ment, originally dried up the town
near one Of their plants.
REV Mr. Kingston also stated
that the speakeasy Is not the child
Of prohibition, but OF the high H.
cense era when 1t existed In all Its
glory. He said that South Caro-
lima attempted the state liquor
dispensary system and had the
greatest orgy Of graft and boot
Logging ever seen.
Both speakers held the attention
of their audience, which was well
mixed, drys and vets being present
In goodly numbers.

taking the affirmative. Attorney
Terence r. Carmody acter as
chairman.
Both speakers made an appeal
to the intellect rather than to the
emotions OF the people Of the
country In considering the ques-
ton Of prohibition. Mrs Kelley
said that the great. need Is for In
tellectual honesty and emotional
self control. She attacked the
claim that women are the greatest
supporters Of prohibition, explain
Ing that while they might have
been in the beginning they now
see the bad effects of the 18th u
mendment because OF small pay
envelopes and the fact that their
husbands now frequent hidden
