ing provisions than they included
in the code presented last week
at the public hearings.
The original code set price-fiX-

Meanwhile the NRA has not Of

Doctor She Insisted Examine
AIlene Gives First Hint of
Murder by Findings
BY ERNEsTINE BALL

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. GIN.
S0.-By some stern edict Of
destiny it was DR.. Margaret Lam.
son, supremely devoted sister, who
unwittingly started the scientific
nemesis on the trail that may
lead to the conviction Of David
Lamson.
Hers was the hand that first
pulled the long cord Of circum.
stance that finally landed DR.. A.
w. Meyer. Stanford University
Nnatomist, in this courtroom
where David Lamson is accused
of the murder of his wife, Allene,
in their campus home on the
morning of May 80.
Hers was the hand, and yet
she would cut off both her hands
to save her brother.
FAN Unlikely
Just a suggestin that DR..
Meyer must examine Allene's
poor bruised head before she was
taken back to Lamar, Missouri,
her girlhood home, for final
burial.
Yesterday it was the distin-
guished DR.. Meyer who, with a
few firm strokes, laid the founda-
ton for the picture the prosecu-
tion probably will present to the
jury.
DR.. Meyer found hemorrhagic
areas inside the skull that indi-
Gated that her hair had been
jerked violently. He did not think
that it would take a person Of
tremendous strength to kill with
the iron pipe found in the bonfire
Lamson was tending on the morn
ing of the tragedy. He conSid-
cred it unlikely that Allene Lam
son had fallen as it would have
taken at least two. possibly four
falls to explain the wounds.
The Defense Answers
DR.. Edwin o. Heinrich, Berke-
ley criminologist, in court as de-
tense consultant, said today:
I'VE will prove DIR. Meyer is
wrOnG and show that it was an
accident"
An anatomist giving his find
angs, there was nothing personal
or vindictive about DR.. Meyer.
Two other autopsy surgeons
have testified in court that in
their opinion Allene LamSon
might have died from an acci-
dental fall.
DR.. Frederick Proescher. Ger
man pathologist. is finishing tests
to determine whether marks on
the iron pipe. clothing, walls. and
doors are human blood.
A group of Stanford friends
now sit with Frank Thorpe, the
brother Of Allene Lamson. who
has given out a statement that
he believes Lamson guilty.
Next week the defense will put
David Lamson former publishing
executive of Stanford University

MIRA WORKERS
INCREASING

Although officials of the NRA
insist that they expect to re.
duce their staff by the end Of
the year, there has been no re.
duction in the number of codes
coming in from various indus
tries, and the staff at present is
probably increasing rather than
diminishing.
Turnover is high in the NRA
and it is difficult to get the ex'
act status at any time. Reem'
ployment of persons whose names
are on Civil Service registers is
falling off, but there is a con
slant accession of experts as
signed to duty on new codes.
Sharp differences of opinion
with respect to the NRA are OBJ
served, both within and without
the Administration. The official
ly expressed view is that prac'
tically IS per cent of the en-
ployers of the country are op'
Grating under the Blue Eagle
and that consequently the job is
rapidly being finished off.
The present number Of codes
arriving daily at NRA headquar-
ters for analysis is about 20. The
code analysis bureau has not yet
caught up with the flood, and
competent industrial analysts are
still being added to the staff. At
present, about 10 codes are being
turned over to the administrator
daily. This number will soon be
increased to 20.

Lamson's Lawyers Set

SAN JOSE, Cal, Sept. l
G.N.S). - Figuratively reeling
from the States blows, David A.
Lamson today prepared to launch
his counter attack to the accusa-
ton that he murdered his pretty
young wife, Allene, in their rose
covered Stanford University cam
pus bungalow.
The 31-year-old defendant, for

snapped:

Cummings, in vigorous and per-
Suasive terms, assured prominent
lawyers and judges here from all

reason anyone should be dis
turbed because Of the aggressive
national leadership now manifest
ing itself in the White House.
Today many members of the

warnings against Federal en-
croachment on the powers Of the
States and to denunciations Of
Capitalization of power in the
National Government, spoke ap-
provingly Of Cummings grafton.

he said:

unifying principle which lies at
the heart of this modern move

concept Of cooperation" and
added:

the steady change from the com.

"R ugged individualism, so
stimulating in pioneer days, or

adolescence, no longer seems to

service and solidarity"

COOPER STARTS
COURT BATTLE
ON NEW BANK ,
United Savings Heads 0bieC-
ton to Merger Program
Spikes Proceedings

Plans for the early opening Of
the Hamilton National Bank came
to a heartbreaking standstill in
District Supreme Court today
when Col. Wade H. Cooper, preSi-
dent of the United States Savings
Bank, threw a wrench in the re-
organization machinery.
Colonel Cooper, with Attorneys
w. Bissell Thomas, John w. Stag
gers and Louis L. Whitestone,
made a determined stand in the
chambers of District Supreme
Court Justice Jesse C. Adkins
against petitions Of the conserva-
tors of the eight member banks
of the Hamilton system for court
approval of the transfer of quick
assets" of the member banks to
the Hamilton system for cash
amounting to approximately $10,-
100000.
Colonel Cooper Objects
An array of counsel for the
treasury and Hamilton National
Bank. including Roger j. White
ford and George P. Barse, had
presented the petitions for court
approval when Colonel Coope1:
and Attorney Thomas were
ushered into Justice Adkins
chambers.
Whiteford questioned Thomas
right to be heard IN what he
called an "exparte" proceeding
and Thomas then declared that
the proceeding was not exparte
and he had a right to be heard
as representing the owner of Sc
per cent of the capital stock in
the United States Savings Bank
which bank under the merger
plan, was about to transfer $780,
495.56 of it's "quick assets" to the
Hamilton system, to the irrepar-
able loss of both depositors and
stockholders.
Judge DiSqualifies Self
Justice Adkins then advanced
the information that, as stock
holder in a company intcrtwined
with a bank which is involved
in the merger, he should not be
called upon to decide matters
presented in that connection and
declined to take action on the
petition or the question of eX
parte proceedings.
The matter was then referred
for action to Justice Jennings
Bailey, who will occupy the
bench Tuesday.
In the meantime, Colonel
Cooper's counsel repaired TO
Thomas office where they began
preparation of bill for injunc-
ton which they hope will perma-
nently halt participation of the
United States Savings Bank in
the Hamilton merger. The petit
ton may be filed this afternoon.
Next Steps in Doubt
Treasury officials declined to
state what steps they may take
to open the Hamilton Bank in
the face of the litigation which
started today or what effect 1t
will have on the early opening.
They revealed that articles Of
association, the preliminary step
to obtaining charter from the
Treasury, had been prepared and
agreed upon.
They are, however, going ahead
with the actual transfer of col
lateral through the Federal Re.
construction Finance Corporation
to obtain the $5,500,O0O which
the conServators will borrow to
facilitate the merger.
