Washington, June 7.-(UP)-
Administration plans for applying
the industrial control bill, about to
be passed by congress. call for ac-
ton Immediately in half dozen
basic industries.
Early industries affected prob
ably will include iron and steel,
textiles, coal, oil and automobiles.
Those now working out plans be-
lieve that the start should be made
with these big basic industries
which employ perhaps 20 per cent
of all industrial labor.
Success in these first great indus
tries might be sufficient, some in
the administration hope, to make
further application of the far
reaching measure unnecessary.
This program, as authoritatively
outlined In the first article OF this
series yesterday, is based not on
coercion of industry, but on per-
suasion and initiative by industry.
It Is viewed as drive to put men
and women back to work and
thereby create new buying power
a unemployment measure.
Price control will enter where it
is necessary to protect consumers
from pyramiding OF additional
labor costs. Industries will be urg-
ed to cushion increased payrolls
resulting from shortening of hours
and raising of hourly wage rates,
by economies elsewhere. Where
price increases are inevitable, the
government will seek trade agree
ments limiting these to a fair re-
turn.
Public support and the coopera-
ton of the industries concerned
are vital to success, government
officials declare. They feel it
would be impossible to make the
plan work against opposition of
the industries. The holly contest
ed licensing features, they en-
phasize, are needed to protect CO.
operating industries from cut
Threats who refused to Join in the
movement and tried to undersell
through sweatshop practices.
The impression Is widespread
that the administration seeks to set
up an Industrial car, to direct the
business of corner grocerymen in
far away villages.
This picture IL accentuated by
the fact that the man who has
been tentatively selected to admin
lister the bill is an aggressive re-
tired army general, Hugh S. John
son, who for ten years has been in
business. He has some of the gruff,
hard-hitting direct-action ways
that made Charles G.. Dawes a
figure here.

CIVIL SERVICE
ASKS POWER

Although the Civil Service
Commission has no power to re-
view cases of employees dismissed
from their jobs, it has decided
that it is empowered to certify
them for reinstatement if it ap-
pears that they were unjustly
dismissed.
The recent proposal of Repre-
sentative William I. Sirovich to
establish a civil service appeals
court, in order that arbitrary ac-
tions by superiUrs might have
some check, was in line with
numerous proposals by the COM
mission itself, which has often
aked Congress for the right to
review cases where injustice had
apparently figured in dismissals.
Congress has never given the
commission such power, though
it may investigate cases at the
request of administrative officers
who wish to retain employees.

MYSTERY DEATH.
HOUSE VIEWED
BY WRITER

on the door and under the basin
there yet remain the red Spatter-
ing of Allene Lamson's blood.
Perhaps no one will ever know
what tale that blood really tells.
There are fruit trees, shrubs
and palms along a patio wall. A
green, velvety lawn, a table with
an immense garden umbrella,
birds singing and gauzy yellow
butterflies Winging about IN
bath of golden sun.
Only happiness-only a sum-
mer's idyll belongs to this place.
Allene should be here playing
with her pretty child and wait
ing for a laughing, gallant mate.
That's the way it was a little
while ago when the young LAM
sons were the idol of the Alpha
Sigma Phi fraternity. They were
the chaperoneS of DaVid's fra
ternity and the cynical college
youngsters reading Balzac and
scoffing at marriage used to say
"Yes-but look at Dave and
Allene!"
How did monstrous tragedy
come upon that pair?
The defense, from present indi-
cations and its own positive state
ment will say: "By accident!''
The accident theory-that Al
lene slipped and fell in the bath
tub-was generally accepted in
the beginning, at least by every
friend of the yong couple.
But how the neXplain the blood
on the trap door; on the ceiling
in the hail; on the walls of the
nursery closet?
The prosecution, from it's pre-
liminary testimony, indicates it
will claim a love quarrel. Per-
haps that the pair scuffled from
room to room in the tiny house.
But the autopsy has shown that
each blow was sufficient to bring
Inconsistencies.
Dark, Fantastic Mystery
Allene Lamson, after the first
blow, whether from lead pipe or
fall against the faucets, could
not have run far. That blood
on the nursery closet isn't con-
vincing. Lamson went in there
to change his clothes. He care
lesSly, and not like a guilty
man, threw his bloody shoes
under the bed. He may easily
have smeared blood from his
clothes or hands on the closet
wall. It's not likely that Allene,
running away from a maddened
husband, was hiding in there.
No matter what solution you
favor, there's no explaining the
blood on the hall ceiling and the
blood on the trapdoor. The
prosecution indicates that at
tempts were made to hide the
bloody garments, perhaps in the
little attic. But no attempt was
made anywhere to cover up.
If he committed the crime,
Lamson had plenty of time to
remove the traces of murder,
plenty of time to make the acci-
dent theory plausible.
There isn't a single question
in the Lamson case that has a
logical answer. The whole thing
is insane and shot with dark.
