RELIEF
To ENPL LOVERS

LOS ANGELES, March 9. U.P)-
The Los Angeles clearing house
moved today to extend cash relief
to employers, after the prospect
for scrip became again uncertain.
BY vote of the executive COM
mittee, limited amount Of cash was
placed at the disposal of employ
ers, amounts in each instance not
to exceed SIS to SIS per employee.
The move became necessary when
the clearing houses plan for scrip
was delayed by word from Wash
ington that Treasury Secretary
Woodin had forbidden the corpor-
alton of the state of New York to
issue scrip in view of the imminent
national release of new currency.
The local clearing house, in the
absence of a definite ruling, as
sumed that Secretary Woodin's de-
cision regarding New York state
would apply to Los Angeles as well.

DRY LEADERS
PLAN BAT TIE

WASHINGTON, March 9. UP}-
Organized drys today turned to new
leaders and fresh strategy in their
battle to defeat ratification of the
prohibition repeal amendment.
Nearly 1000 representatives of
prohibition organizations meeting
here decided to entrust their lead
ership to a committee of nine, none
of whom shall be drawn from pres
ent officers of temperance bodies.
This action pushed into the back
ground Bishop James Cannon, DR..
Clarence True Wilson, Ella A.
Boole, F. Scott Mcbride, Deets
Pickett and others around whom
prohibition forces have rallied for
years. The present leaders will re-
main active, however, as members
of committee of 100 which will
assist the smaller group.
Announcement of the names Of
the nine was expected within a day
or two.
Confident that they can block re-
peal in at least 13 states and thus
retain the 18th amendment, the
delegates outlined plans for a gen.
eral offensive which will reach into
every community.

BREVITY AND CLARITY MARK
ROOSEVELT SPECIAL MESSAGE

to issue to meet all demands for
currency and at the same time to
achieve this end without increas-
ing the unsecured indebtedness of
the government of the United
States.
Immediate Action Essential
I cannot too strongly urge upon
the congress the clear necessity for
immediate action. A continuation
of the strangulation of banking IA
cilities is unthinkable. The passage
of the proposed legislation will end
this condition and I trust within
short space of time will result in
resumption of business activities.
In addition, it is my belief that
this legislation will not only lift
Immediately all warranted d
doubts and suspicious in regards
to banks which are 100 per cent
sound but will also mark the be-
ginning of new relationship be-
tween the banks and the people of
this country.
The members of the new con-
gress will realize, am confident.
the grave responsibility which lies
upon me and upon them.
In the short space of five days it
is impossible for us to formulate
completed measures to prevent the
recurrence of the evils of the past.
This does not and should not, how
ever, justify any delay in accom-
fllichinu tbic fret ctan
AT an early moment I shall re-
quest of congress two other mea-
sures which regard as of immed-
late urgency. With action taken
thereon we can proceed to the con-
sideration of a rounded program OF
national restoration.

GUILTY PLEA
BY ZANGARA
Slayer OF Mayor Cermak Again
Tells Court He Hoped To Kill
Roosevelt.

MIAMI, Fla, March 9. U.P)-
Giuseppi zangara, diminutive
bricklayer, today pleaded guilty to
a first degree murder charge in the
fatal wounding of Mayor Anton j
Cermak of Chicago, whom he shot
in an attempt to assaSSinate Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, then President
elect, and was Immediately placed
on trial in Dade county circuit
court.
The defendant was questioned
by the states attorney when he ap-
peared before Judge Uly O. Thomp-
son to plead on the indictments
returned by the grand jury fol-
lowing the death Monday of Mayor
Cermak.
Your name is Joseph zangara?'
he was asked.
"Giuseppi, Italian, Joe, English
same ting, same ting" he replied
zangara stood tapping his foot,
his arms folded as the charge was
read to him.
do you, Joe zangara, plead
guilty or not guilty?"

all capitalists-I goota do no like
Presidents"
Immediately following the formal
plea of guilty, Judge =, Thompson
ordered testimony to be taken to
satisfy the court of the prisoner S
guilt. Under the Florida law a man
cannot be sent to the electric chair
until proof Of guilt is established
to the satisfaction of the court.
Judge Thompson, therefore, had
the discretion of imposing a life
sentence, or death in the electric
chair.
The first witness called was Tom
Armour, Miami, who held Zangara
until police took him in charge
after he fired at an automobile

reserve to issue federal reserve
bank notes:
Cd Against obligations of the
United States owned by federal re-
serve banks.
CD Against notes of corporations,
partnerships or individuals secured
by United States government obli-
cations.
(3) Against member bank notes
secured by sound assets.
This program was interpreted in
one well informed quarter as mean
ing that when banks are reopened
only those 100 per cent solvent will
be able Immediately to open their
doors and all others would be re-
quired to reorganize by writing
down their assets to whatever low
er level may be necessary to make
the assets represent actual values.
1t is understood that banks will
be permitted to open un,Sr licens-
ing system and that without the fed
eral license symbolic of liquidity
no bank will be permitted to re-
sumo ordinary banking business.
Under those circumstances it was
believed federal reserve member
banks would be able to open first
since their condition is intimately
known to federal authorities.

WASHINGTON, March 8. U.p)-
President Roosevelt's drastic emer-
gency banking bill was passed to-
day by a house acting with war
time speed.
The measure, providing dictator
ial banking powers for the Pres
ident and allowing controlled ex-
pansion OF the currency, was hur-
ried through the house with cheers
and applause after reading of Mr..
Rooseyelt's short, hard-hitting mes
sage on the national financial
emergency. There was no record
vote.
The senate was considering the
same bill in committee. Leaders
were seeking to force passage be-
fore adjournment tonight. With
congressional action completed the
bill could be rushed to the White
House, where Mr.. Roosevelt's sig
nature would clothe him with the
authority he has requested to deal
with the banking crisis.
Meantime, preparations were
made to reopen sound banks tomor-
row.
The bill went before the house
in defiance of all regular rules of
procedure. Leaders beat down
half-hearted protests of a few who
objected more to the irregular con-
sideration than to terms of the
measure itself.
BY unanimous consent the MEM
bership limited debate to 40 min
utes on the most far reaching piece
of financial legislation in modern
political history
The measure was passed by a
laundering chorus of "ayes". When
Speaker Rainey called for the op-
posing vote, not a single voice was
raised.
Thus, the bill has the unique
distinction of having been brought
up for consideration in the house
by the unanimous consent of its
membership of ABS and being
passed less than an hour later by
the same unanimous vote.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Wide,
almost dictatorial powers to open
sound banks at once and others as
rapidly as they get their affairs
in shape, coupled with provision for
sound expansion of the currency
was asked of congress by President
Roosevelt in his first message to-
day.
Emergency legislation was draft
ed to put the plan into effect at
once.
Fulfilling his inaugural promise.
President Roosevelt, Immediately
after congress met in extraordin-
ary session sent a crisp, hard hit
ting, 500 word message
He stripped it of all decoration
and struck direct at his two OBJ
jects.
l. Immediate reopening of sound
banks; reopening of others as fast
as they get in shape by writing off
bad holdings.
2. Immediate expansion of gov
eminent money backed by sound
security. His provisions were inter-
preted as excluding mere printing
press money.
Our first task is to reopen sound
banks" President Roosevelt said
in his message.
He warned that later a perman-

The proposed Riley-Stewart tax

California Comptroller Tells
Legislature Budget As Low As

The University of California firm
ly believes its budget of S14,045,-

quested by the board of regents
should not be reduced. l.. A. Mich
OILS, comptroller of the university,
frankly informed the assembly
ways and means committee at a
public hearing last night.
The university, Nichols said, can
not even accept the proposed ex-
penditure of 13,409, 1892. .49 contained
in the governors budget.
eve are going to fight to MAIN
tain the university at high level" !"
Nichols declared.
To reduce university expenditures
under the amount requested by the
regents, the legislature must re-
sort to a constitutional amend
ment.
Nichols faced an outspoken COM
mittee which not only clearly indi-
Gated it felt the university's budget
was exorbitant, but also the gov
ernor'S.
The university comptroller said
expenditures requested for tn e
Forthcoming biennium represent a
voluntary Is per cent reduction
under the 1898 budget. Further
decrease, he argued, would mater
tally cripple the university's oper-
alton.

other colleges of the same class is
$629 and of IL universities picked
at random, $3.50.
The average salary cut for the
univerSity'S entire teaching staff
under the regents budget is ap-
proximately Az per cent, he said.
Average of salaries paid full profess
sor at present is 1866; associate pro-
fessors, $1,000; assistant professors,
$3,125. and instructors $2,361.
A committee member asked if
the university could eliminate the
departments of paleontology, anth-
ropolgy and sanskrit for two years.
''No department" Nichols an
Swered, could be eliminated with
out injury to education"
Another committee member ad-
vised Nichols to ''go back to the re-
gents and tell them to figure out
what they can get along without.
Then come back here and tell us.
We'd rather give you fellows the
opportunity of deciding your own
reductions. Otherwise we'll have to
do it for you."
