Three men still are held, all of

RELIEF ACTION IS LIKELY
IN j. s. SENATE BEFORE NIGHTFALL
Vote Assured Soon on
CoStigan-La Toilette,
Wagner Bills.
NO OPPOSITION SEEN
Opinion Is General That
Further Steps to Help
JobIeSS Are Needed.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49,
The senate will adopt a new
federal relief measure, per-
haps before nightfall, it
seemed certain today.
Agreement to limit debate on the
Costigan-La Toilette and Wagner
relief bills now under discussion as
sured a vote on them before long,
and so far no opposition to the gen.
eral proposal of granting further
relief is evident.
A year ago the senate would not
consent to any steps for relief of
restitution.
Seven months ago, it passed the
R. F. c. relief loan act after weeks
of wrangling.
At present, there seems no DISPOSE
ton to deny the need for more re-
lief and only the manner of giving
it is being debated.
Choice Is Narrowed
Whichever bill finally is adopted.
the senate has agreed that govern
ment loans for public construction
work need no longer be based on
the present self -liquidating require
ment.
The proposal of Senator Robert
F. Wagner Dem, N. " that loans
NAV be made hereafter for public
work which the R. F. c. finds is need
full and in the public interest, was
added to the La ollette-Costigan
relief bill, Friday, with consent OF
the authors.
That narrows the issue between
the two relief bills down to choice
between direct grants, distributed to
states by special relief board and
continuation of loans distributed
by the R. F. c.. The La Toilette
Costigan bill provides for grants, the
Wagner plan for loans. The first
would permit expenditure of $780,
O0,000 thine second of 100000, 900.
Senators Will Plead
Southern senators are disputing
whether any of the relief money
shall be used for administration
purposes. Senator Walter F. George
Deln., Ga.), seeks to prevent such
expenditures. A vote will be taken
on this issue early today.
Both Senators La Toilette and Ed
ward P. Costigan will plead for
adoption of their relief plan before
a vote is taken, urging that ade-
quate relief only can be obtained
through control by board specially
appointed for that work, and that
further loans to local governments
only will result in local defaults and
impairment of credit.
Testimony at recent hearings of
the senate manufacturers commit
tee showed that the present connec-
ton between highway aid and re-
lief loans has caused a conflict of
interest between the two, and be-
tween rural and urban districts.
Numerous witnesses expressed a
belief that establishment of a fed
eral relief system would result in
more uniform and more economical
administration AS well as more ades
quate standards.

therefore, 19O Democrats
are bound, under the caucus
rule, to vote for the resolu-
ton. Of course, some who
did not attend the caucus may
ask later to be excused.
Republican whip Carl G.. Bach
mann estimates that 100 Repub-
1icans will vote for the resolution.
Only 104 Republicans voted for it
in December, when it fell six votes
short of two-thirds.
The enthusiasm with which the
legislators in various states cap
itals are greeting the prospect of a
showdown, bears out the contention
of vets that the nation is overripe
for repeal action.
From Annapolis comes the prom
Use of Governor Albert c. Ritchie
that Maryland will be the first state
to ratify repeal. The legislature, now
in session, is ready to set up ratifi-
cation machinery, he said.
In Texas, drys and vets agreed
that the vote should be held imme-
diately. One dry leader has adopt
ed the suggestion of statewide
vote, the delegates to be appointed
at large, one wet delegate for each
10000 wet votes, and one dry for
each 10000 dry votes. Such plan
would prevent gerrymandering OF
districts and stacking of the conVen-
ton with rural drys. A majority
of both houses of the Texas legis-
lature are reported favorable to re-
submission.
A San Francisco assemblyman is
drafting bill providing for the
election of convention delegates at a
special election this year. Each cam
didate to be required to state pub
licly his stand on repeal before his
name is placed on the ballot. The
bill will be presented when the pre-
ponderantly wet California legiSla-
ture reconveneS Feb. %.
In Madison, Speaker Cornelius of
the Wisconsin legislature announced
that provisions for a convention
would be enacted Immediately aft
er the repeal resolution is passed by
congress.
Meanwhile the situation is some
what confused in Washington, in
view of the statement of Repre-
sentative F. H. La Guardia CRep.,
N. ". that, if the house passes
the resolution Monday he will at
once introduce bill providing the
funds and setting up the machinery
for the state conventions.
Representative La Guardia argues
that congress, and not the various
state legislatures, should supervise
the conventions.

the remainder of this session. Speak

zangara to Be Arraigned
Monday; 'RaiIroading'
Is Prevented.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 10. - Formal
arraignment of Giuseppe zangara
on charges of assault with intent to
kill, was postponed today until
Monday, to give alienists chance
to make a complete report on the
would-be assassin's mental condi-
tion.
County Solicitor Charles A. More
head agreed to postponement at the
request of the three leading Miami
attorneys appointed Friday as de-
tense counsel.
Their action was taken, it was
said, to prevent possibility of
charges being made that the little
Italian bricklayer was being rail
roaded" to prison because of heat
ed public opinion.
Cermak Much Better
Zangara himself, who was to have
been arraigned at 10 a. m. today,
still was represented as being
anxious to plead guilty to the four
counts against him, and to accept
whatever sentence the court might
impose.
Mayor Anton J. Cermak Of Chi
cago who has spent his life fight
ing, first fol- wealth and then for
political power, appeared today to be
winning his battle against the
effects Of the assassin's bullet.
The Chicago mayor slept peace
fully through the night, and his
physicians for the first time felt
confident enough to express a be-
lief that he would recover.
Condition of Woman Critical
His five physicians, including his
personal medical attendant who
came here from Chicago and his
son-in-law, found his condition so
satisfactory late in the night that
they left the hospital and sought
rest themselves. They said that he
was continuing his favorable
course"
Mrs. Joseph Gill, wife of a util-
tiles magnate, who was shot down
with Cermak and three others by
Zangara in his unsuccessful attempt
to kill President Elect Roosevelt
Wednesday night, was holding her
own, but her condition remained
critical. The other wounded were
out of danger.
Cermak has shown amazing
stamina for man of his years, and
it was believed he would recover
unless pneumonia set in, or his heart
gave way under the strain.
Jovial With Visitors
Pneumonia, it was pointed out, al
ways is a menace to a person past
middle age whose system suffers a
severe shock, and since in this case
the bullet penetrated just below the
tip of the lung, the chance of pneu-
monia was increased. But no sign
of congestion had appeared, and
Cermak's easy sleep through the
night gave added encouragement.
I'VE have every hope for his ulti-
mate recovery" his doctors said in
a signed bulletin early today.
Mayor Cermak was jovial with
visitors, and his fine morale was re-
garded as an important factor in his
chance for recovery.
