Commissions Hit
He asserted, however, that the
Federal Power Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission, the
I. c. c., and the Civil Service
Commission could operate eff.
GENTLY on much less money than
carried in the bill under con-
Sideration. He said:
"The demand in this country
is going to be for curtaiIment

Taber did not hesitate to say
that this curtailment would create
a vast surplus of Federal EN-.

that many could be absorbed in
remaining establishments.
Vet Fight Seen
Indications that a strong fight
to raise the funds for the Vet.

more than $460,O0O,0OO, was in.
dictated during early sessions Of
the debate.
Representative Clifton Wood

miniStration activities made neces-
sary by the reduced appropra-
ton.
He was subjected to vigorous
cross-firing of questioning from
both the Democratic and Repub-

his speech.
Woodrum declared that thou
sands of veterans are going off
the rolls and that thousands of
cases are going to be closed and
put on a permanent status. He
cited this as a reason for the

Cats Ear Is Tested,
Proves Excellent
Telephone

If you have the proper equip

can use a cats ear for a tele-
phone.
DR.. H. Davis, of the Harvard
Medical School, with apparatus
set up before the American
biological Society in the
Raleigh Hotel yesterday, spoke
into a cats ear, and his voice
was heard over a loud speaker.
The reason for this is that
a small electric current flashes
from the ear to the brain when
sound waves come into the ear.
The process is the same as in
a telephone.

PHOENIX, Ariz., J2n. 2O,-A sen sational legal move that would have paved the way to saving Win nie Ruth Judd from the gallows by sending her to an insane asy- lum, and also freed J. J. Happy" Halloran of charges of being her accessory, came to naught yester- day afternoon.
 After an hours argument be- tween opposing attorneys in Judge J. c. Niles chambers, EX-Judge Frank O. Smith, attorney for Hal loran, withdrew a motion to strike out Mrs. Judd's testimony on the ground that she was mentally and physically incompetent.
 The assertion was made that Mrs. Judd has been reduced to phys ically an unsound mind by the present court ordeal. She recoiled with horror when the attorney suggested she pick up the revolver from which were fired the bullets ending the lives of Miss Samuelson and Mrs. Le Roi.
 T won't do iti" she screamed. T know what they are trying to do to me: they are trying to prove I am insane!"
