Bulls Resume
Stock Mart
Control

NEW YORK, June IL Q.N.S).
With the bulls rotating. leadership
from group to group, the stock
market surged forward l to 4
points to new highs for the year
in a continuation of the ire
mendous dealings which have
marked the initiation boom.
The opening of the World
Economic Conference in London
with all its uncertainties was ig-
nored in favor of a new slump in
the dollar to new lows and addi-
tionS to the revival in business,
particularly in steel.
Strength in bonds, which shook
off last weeks declining tenden-
cies under the leadership of
speculative issues, helped the
bulls. Bank and curb stocks were
strong. Commodities put on a
reactionary performance but this
had little influence except in
holding down the farm stocks.
The Steels set the early pace
with Steel common and preferred
rising sharply to new highs. The
utilities went along to new peaks
for the year. Consolidated Gas,
United Gas Improvement and
United Corp. leading and Com
& Southern continu-
ing to develop huge dealings.

Meanwhile the mystery of the
new ownership of the Post, sold at
public auction by court order the
first of the month, was only
heightened today as Justice James
M. Proctor. in District Supreme
Court, confirmed transfer of the
property and its franchises for
$825,000.
Confirmation of the sale was
made to "The Washington Post
Publishing Company, a corpora
ton formed under the laws of

Mrs. Mclean Tries Again
Represented by Charles Evans
Hughes, jr., Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean, wife of the former pub
Usher, made a last-minute effort
to have bids for the paper re-
opened.
Her attempt was unsuccessful,
however.
The sale was confirmed today
as made originally to George E.
Hamilton, jr., local attorney,
whose client had been unnamed
until it was announced today as
the washington Post Publishing

Hamilton announced that the
new corporation was formed
shortly after the sale of the
paper at public auction. An
nouncement of the new owners
probably will be made late to-
night, he said.

HOUSE SHELVES
WINE BILL

Action on the Lea wine bill was
postponed until the next session
of Congress by the House Ways
and Means Committee today. The
vote was II to 9.
Under the terms of the bill of
Representative Lea CD of Cali
fornia the sale of naturally fer
mented wine would be permitted.
Only 80 per cent alcohol wine is
legal now.
Advocates of legalization of wine
on the committee said that wine
bill undoubtedly would be reported
favorably when the committee
takes it up either in a special ses-
sion next fall or the regular ses-
sion of Congress next January.
The committee considered &C.
ton on the bill in closed session
after having had a hearing last
week during which Prohibition Di-
rector A. V. Dalrymple urged that
wine be legalized.
In the secret session some East
ern members of the committee
eontended the wording of the Lea
bill-which legalized naturally fer
mented wines of about 9 per cent
alcoholic content by weight but
banned d fortified wines-would
give California grape growers al
most a monopoly of the wine
business.

versial subject of foreign debts
into the deliberations of the
World Economic Conference
at it's opening in London to-
.da.X,...,--
Addressing the parley after
King George had inaugurated the
meeting with a plea for interna-
tional cooperation, Macdonald
said the nations interested must
settle the debt problem without
delay to clear the way for world
economic recovery.
Macdonald acknowledged that
the conference cannot discuss the
debt problem, but indicated that
in the parallel debt negotiations
Britain would press for settle
ment along the lines of the Lau-
same treaty, which reduced Ger
man reparations by 80 per cent.
Kings Speech on Air

ference with a worldwide radio
broadcast. Premier Macdonald,
as chairman of the conference,
followed, addressing his remarks
to the 1853 delegates from 66
countries gathered in the great
est international conclave in the
worlds history.
The conference then adjourned
until tomorrow.
The French delegation cate
gorically denied report that
Britain had suggested France
join with her in making par
tial payment on Thursdays in
stalment.
An atmosphere of hope tinged
with gloom prevailed at the open
ing of the conference. King
George opened the sessions with
a worldwide radio broadcast.
Paris Pat on Default
Answering doubts expressed in
the British press concerning Con-
gressional ratification, Secretary
of State Cordell Hull announced
shortly before the opening that
the United States would "keep
faith" with any agreements en-
tered into during the parley.
International News Service
learned from the French delega-
ton that France will stand pat
on her refusal to pay Thursdays
debt inStalment.

S.).-"I killed her! Now T guess
I'm done cOr. Tell the people
who believed in me that 1
thank them"
Thus did Balfe MacDonaled, II,
spoiled wayward son of a Million
aire family, confess today that he
beat his widowed mother to death
with a pair of gilded book-ends.
The confession came shortly
after Balfe and his pal, William
Terwilliger, Is, were returned here
from Nashville, Tenn, where they
were caught after a nationwide
manhunt.

bedroom of hsr big mansion here

same morning Balfe and young
Terwilliger disappeared.
Chief of Detectives Edward S.
Tewhey said the youth confessed
without police pressure, except for
the fact that he was shown the
blood stained book-ends.
He blanched when he saw one
of t book-ends.
Leaping up to the other side
of the small grilling-room he
cried:
Don't show me that! Don't
show me that"
The Washington times., 1933-06-12

A moment later he launched
into his full confession.
Chief Tewhey quoted him as
saying that young Terwilliger
and he were planning to run
away that night. and that Bill
was sleeping in the basement of
the house, waiting for me-" Tew.
hey then quoted the boy:
Mother and I began arguing
about money, and suddenly I
picked up a bOOk-end.
"She began to yell, you can't
do that to me-
81 covered her head with a
pillow. / didn't know how
badly she was hurt. 1 woke
Bill, we sat on the stairs and
didn't know what to do.
TOOK S45 AND CAR
Finally we went to my
sisters room where / knew
mother had hidden some money.
We took S45 and the car and
headed south.
"In Louisville, Bill bought a
paper and we found out mother
was dead and the police were
hunting u.s."
Young Terwilliger, transformed
from an adventurer into a
frightened, wide-eyed boy, sat in
the room while Balfe told his
Story-the same story which
Bill" told police two days ago
that Balfe had related to him.

MERGER
D, K, ASSURED

Congressional acceptance of the
Presidents executive order for re-
organization of various Govern
ment agencies appeared certain to-
day.
The only actual step in opposi-
ton to provisions of the order was
taken in the Senate today. in the
form of a joint resolution intro
duced by Senator William E.
Borah (RO of Idaho.
The resolution provides for a
temporary suspension of the por-
ton of the order relating to
payments for agricultural expert
mental stations, cooperative agri-
cultural extension work, and agri-
cultural colleges.
Borah conferred with the
President today on the resolution.
but as no agreement was reached
he will take the matter up again
with him later this afternoon.
G. o. P. Fight Futile
Senator Borah said that his
major objection to the reorgan-
ization order would be covered
by the resolution and that he
favored abolition of needless COM
missions, boards and bureaus.
Republicans said they did not
believe it possible to block the
reorganization proposal, as it
would take two-thirds of both
houses to enact a resolution set
ting the order aside.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson
Cd, of Arkansas, majority floor
leader, expressed the opinion that
the reorganization proposal would
be accepted.
Congress ought to be able to ad-
journ some time tonight, Speaker
Rainey declared.
The Senate had before it the
conference report on the indus
trial recovery and $3,300,000, 900
public works bill. Senator La
Follett tie (R0 of Wisconsin,
was ready to fight acceptance of
this report because a conference
committee modified his amend
ment for full publicity of income
tax returns.
The conferees made the publica-

with the President.

MAYSVILLE. KY. April 28-The
parents of Andrew Fox, city prosecut-
ing attorney. we're found dead on their
burning bed here yesterday, but officials
said they apparently were dead before
the flames reached their bodies.
The couple was Claiborne Fox, go,
well-to-do retired farmer. and his wife,
Emma, So, prominent Maysville club
woman.
Burns they suffered were 1nsuhi-
Coroner Albert Knox reported. His
verdict, he said, would be withheld un-
til after he received the report of a
Lexington. KY, laboratory. on whether
they had died Of poison before the fire
broke out.
Kerosene had been poured over the
bed. Fire Chief R. E. Newall said. be-
fore the clothing was ignited.
Belief that Mr.. and Mrs. Fox were
dead or at least unconscious when the
fire broke out, officials said. was indi-
Gated by the fact that they lay in
sleeping posture as if unaware of the
flames. and that they evidently had
made no effort to escape. although the
window of their room is only a few
feet from the ground.
Fire Chief Newell said there was no
evi6cnce to indicate the fire was &C
cidental. The blaze. he said. was CEN
tered in the bed, and little damage was
done in the room except to the bed
and to the ceiling above it.

and calls for fine OF not less than
81 600 or more than $4,000 for each
offense with a daily accrual of these
penalties If the violation is continued.
Improvement Of Service.
Section IL directs the co-ordinator
to investigate and consider means OF
improving transportation conditions
throughout the country, and this would
include the ability Of carriers, financial
or otherwise, to improve their proper
ties and furnish service and charge
rates which will promote commerce and
industry, and stabilize railroad labor
employment. The co-ordinator Is also
directed to submit from time to time
recommendations for further legislation
to obtain these objectives to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission which in
turn will submit them to the President
and to Congress.
Section IL provides for the expense of
the coordination administration as set
forth above.
Section l3 stipulates that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shall not
approve loan to a carrier under the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
dll, Slldu II d Cdl "
issue bonds or other evidence of in
debtedneSs under the interstate CON-
merce act, as amended, unless it should
find that the financial structure of the
carrier is such that there is reasonable
prospect that the carrier can, without
reorganization. survive the depression.
The final section, IA, specifies that
the set-up shall go into effect for one
wear unless extended for another wear
by presidential proclamation, but In no
event continues beyond two years.
The co-ordinator bill will be accom-
panied on its journey to Capitol Hill
by the reorganization plans of the
Commerce Department. This reorgan-
ization provides for the creation of
five-section transportation bureau hav-
ing jurisdiction over land, sea and air
commerce. The plans call for the trans
fer of some of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions Bureau to the transpor-
tation section. However, the comnlLS-
sion will not be part of the new struc-

a good thing to pay off the en-
tire term of Congress in advance
