JUNKEN BQ.OMS
5-DAY WEEK

The five-day week and the six
hour day in Government work
and outside industry form the
logical solution to the unemploy-
ment problem, Charles A. Junken,
of the Treasury Department. de-
clareS:
Writing in THE American
Federationist," organ of the
Federation of Labor, Mr..
Junken says:
"The present generally &C
cepted hours of labor are about
IA hours a week. BY the pro-
posed reduction to 30 hours a
week, the total reduction is II
hours a week or ratio of IA to
AZ, or about one-third.
Since there is but One-Sixth Of
all the population out of work,
it will be clearly seen that the
proposed reduction in working
hours would be more than ade-
quate to solve the unemplOy-
ment situation"

A study and consideration by
all Federal employees is invited
to the resolution of protest of
salary reductions prepared by our
national president, and at his re-
quest presented to the United
States Senate by Senator Robert

This subject is one which vitally
affects not only every Federal
employe but in equal measure
their wives, children and other
dependents, and no Federal en-
ploye should be so lost to his
own welfare and the welfare of
those dear to him as to ignore
these rumblings of salary reduc-
tiens or to fail to support the

WIFE MAY BARE
DEATHPLOTAT
MATE s TRIAL

RIVERHEAD, l.. l., Nov. /
UN.S0.-The spectacle Of beau.
tiful blonde wife rising to de-
nounce her husband, accused Of
murder, drew hundreds Of subuT'
ban women to the Suffolk county
courthouse here today for the
murder trial Of Victor Downs.
AS they jammed the corridors,
che backs Of the courtroom and
the closely set benches, the buzz
Of conversation all took the same
tenor:
"WiM Mitzi Downs testify
against him?"
Off in an anteroom, away from
curious eyes, the secret lay locked
in the breast of the platinum
haired former night club hostess.
Promises She'll Talk
But the assistant district attor-
rey in charge Of the States case,
L. Barron Hill, declared as the
trial opened that Mrs. Downs
would turn on her 44-year-old hus-
band. He promised:
"She viii tell Of plans made
by her husband for the killing
Of old DR.. Frank Tuthill."
Prepared as they were for this,
che crowd gaSped. When the ven
cradle corn doctor" disappeared
on August and his body was
found two weeks later in a broken
down auto in the woods near
Hampton Bays. and the trail led
to Downs, former Norfolk (VaO
policeman, Trey knew Sordid
drama lurked in the domestic stu
alton of the Downs.
Mitzi Downs claimed openly to
have been the only eyewitness to
the crime, which took place, she
said, in lonely bungalow on the
South Shore. At various times,
she declared she had no part in
the gruesome business; at another
time, she admitted having helped
her husband dispose Of the body.
why Crowds Marvel
This is the thing the crowds
marvel over-that she should have
gone along with him to the point
of having seen the crime, at least,
and now rise to confront him as
the chief seeker for his life!
Dow:s. who had been involved
IN the rum-running business on
Long Island, has engaged as his
attorney, Edgar F. Hazleton, who
defended Ruth Snyder, Queens
Village matron and principal fig
ure in Long Islands most motor
Gous murder case. He said had
not made up lis mind whether
to put downs himself in the wit
ness stand. Downs claims to have
an alibi for the night his wife
said he committed the murder.

Spain Ignores Death
Penalty in New Regime

Madrid, Spain.-Allhough the con-
stitution of the second Spanish re-
public is silent on the subject, and the
new criminal code has not yet been
drawn up. the death penalty his gone
out of vogue in this country.
Recently, the minister of justice,
Don Alvaro de Albornoz, announced
the Communication of the death pen
atty to life Imprisonment of man
who had killed the wife of a dairy
owner, and their twenty-seven-months
old baby.
The Cortes CONSTITUENCIES, a few
weeks ago, refused to take into con-
sideration bill proposed by a deputy
belonging to the radical party. which
would provide the death penalty for
all robbers who engaged in holdups.
The bill was proposed on the day
when a bank in Madrid was held up
and robbed of $4,000, but it was
promptly hooted down by the Social
lists and Radical Socialist deputies.
These two events are sympotoma-
tic of the spirit of the times in Spain.

self and nobody asked any questions.
He made this quick change twice a
day for seven days. He ate lunch
with the day crew and at night he
fed with a different watch. Nobody
suspected. The rest of the time he
lolled in deck chairs and mingled with
the passengers.
La Raviere meant to debark at Cher
bourg. but found this impossible be-
cause of the landing card necessary
to board the tender. So he went on
to Southampton and was unlucky
enough to arrive there in mid-after
noon. He saw two gangplanks taken
aboard, one for the passengers and
the other for the crew, who immedi-
ately began unloading laundry. Then
he did his quick change for the last
time. He left his bag behind to avoid
customs officers and walked off the
ship with the crew.
He was unable to get out of the
dock yards at Southampton because
the only exit is through gate in a
high steel wire fence and this is guard
ed by immigration officers.
But he waited until dark and then
jumped the fence, the last hurdle of
his crossing taken. Then he walked

Very Simple the Way La
Raviere Tells 1t.

London.-Strict as immigration Off
Gals and steamship officers are, it is
still possible TO cross the Atlantic
as stowaway, eat two square meals
daily for seven days while mingling
with the passengers and crew, and
then enter Great Britain without so
much as a question from the authori-
ties.
Raymond La Raviere, twenty-eight,
who says he lived at 2432 Marquette
road, Chicago, did it. Travellers who
have experienced the thoroughness of
the European Investigations of foreign
ers at ports and frontiers, plus the
usual ticket and passport inspections
of stewards and others aboard ship,
merely so through formalities in no
way essential. La Raviere proved it.
He boarded the Olympic in New
York 10 hours before the vessel sailed,
made himself comfortable, travelled TO
Southampton, landed, tramped TO Lon
don, and was going for walk with
two newly found girl friends in Drury
Lane some time later before the police
called him to account. Then he was
fined $40 or given one month in Worm
wood Scrubs prison for the offense of
entering England illegally.
Afterwards he restored himself to
the trust of the officials and spent a
month doing the tower, houses of par
Lament. Westminster abbey, Kew gar
dens. and other points of interest.
La Raviere was even given a police
registration card such as all Ameri-
cans and other foreigners who stay in
England any length of time must
have.
1t all sounds easy as he explains
it.
He walked up the Olympic gang
plank, stored his luggage in the crews
quarters. and went for a walk. He
came back at eight, got his bag, and
picked out an unoccupied third-class
stateroom. Mattresses and other IN
useS bedding were stored in the room,
and out of these he built screen TO
shield himself from the door. Then
he made his bed behind and turned in
for the night. When he woke up next
morning he was at sea.
La Raviere stayed in his stateroom
until evening, when he grew hungry.
So he changed his clothes and went
on deck. Then he learned that the
night crew was about to be fed, so
he dashed back and got into his sea-
mans clothing in time to follow the

to London, a fraction Tess than 80
miles away.
He confessed to a policeman guard
ing the door of an American organiZa-
ton in London that he entered as a
stowaway without passport. This
policeman, La Raviere claims, refused
to arrest him then, but when he saw
him on the following day strolling with
two pretty English girls he put him
under arrest and took him TO the inn
migration office in Bow street He
was convicted of entering the country
illegally and on the same day they
took him to Norwood Scrubs. a
prison on the outskirts of London.
There he says his treatment was
of the best.
After his sentence was finished La
Raviere was sent automatically to
Brixton prison to await deportation.
He appealed to the home office for
release and to polish off his expert
ences he was allowed his freedom in
the name of Sir Herbert Samuel. home
secretary. Throughout his difficulties
American consular officials were anx-
ious to help him, but they could do
nothing without proof of his Ameri-
can citizenship. This he could not
supply without passport, and it was
necessary to write to Chicago for his
birth certificate.
