WOMEN FL|ERS
NEAR RECORD

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. % G.N.S0-
A few hours away from a new
women's endurance flight record,
Helen Richey and Frances Harrell
Marsalis piloted their flying bou-
doir, the Outdoor Girl" through
sunny skies over Miami today.
Dog tired from their eight days
aloft in cramped quarters, the two
women nevertheless, in notes
dropped this morning, expressed
a determination to continue the
flight as long as their engine con-
tinues to turn. They wrote:
"We'u beat the record this
afternoon and won't be down
until the new year."
They will equal the present
women's record Of eight days and
four hours at sos p. M, Eastern
Standard Time today. They must
remain aloft an additional hour,
however, to set a new official
record.
A wing, damaged by the refuel-
ing hose yesterday afternoon,
threatened to bring sudden end to
the record assault but plucky
Helen Richey crawled out on the
wing and patched the torn fabric.

KING WOULD LET
SCHOOL JOB

Asserting that he believes the
District Commissioners can go
ahead with the construction of
school buildings for which part
Of the cost of construction has
been appropriated by Congress,
Senator William H. King DO of
Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee. today indi-
Gated that he will request the
Commissioners to let the contract
for the beginning of the Ana
costa Junior High School.
Congress already has appropri-
ated $225,00O for this project. the
total cost of which is to be about
100000, but it is understood
there is no appropriation recon-
mended for this year by the
Budget Bureau for the compile
ton of the building.
Because of this, the Commis-
sioners have been hesitant about
letting the contract. Contending
that the appropriation for COM
pletion of the structure may not
be made, they feel it would not
be proper to build half the school
and then have to wait over a
long period for the funds to COM
plete the construction.

BOARDSU|T
NRA Completes Probe of Inter-
ference With Elections
BY Employees
BY International News Service

by INTERNATIONAL news service
Federal action against two
more large corporations loomed
today as the National Labor
Board completed it's investigation
of charges against the E. G.
Budd Manufacturing Company
and the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company.
The action is based on the as
sumption that the recovery act
is violated when employers refuse
to permit the board to supervise
an election Of workers represent
atives for collective bargaining
purposes.
After hearing labor disputes
involving workers of both COM
panieS, the Labor Board ordered
that elections be held under it's
supervision. In both cases the
employers either refused such in
tervention or have ignored the
order.
Injunctions to BE Asked
It is expected the labor board
will turn the cases over to the
Attorney General this week, with
the recommendation. that in
functions, restraining officials
of the companies from interfer-
ing in board-supervised elections,
be sought in the Federal courts.
Similar action has been taken
by the board against E. T. Weir,
as chairman of the board Of the
National Steel Co., Pittsburgh.
Wagner Asks Action
Senator Robert F, Wagner,
chairman Of the labor board, iS
emphatic in his belief that "com.
pany-dominated unions" must be
abolished by fair elections held
by the board under terms Of Sec
ton IA Of the Recovery Act.
He said:
"The beginning Of freedom Of
contract for the workers begins
with equality in bargaining
power. Workers, intimidated or
interfered with in any way in
their choice Of representatives
for collective bargaining, are
not free to contract properly
with employers about working
conditions.
Under the Recovery Act and
under the Presidents executive
order, the Government is bound
to see that bargaining equality
Is established for workers."

UTTERED BY
YOUNG tn.
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., Calls
For Balanced Budgets by
Nations and individuals

PHILADELPHIA Dec. %
G.N.S0.-Economy-on the part
Of the nation and the individual
citizen as well-spells the secret
for permanent happiness in Amer
lea, in the opinion of Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., former governor
general Of the Philippin? Islands.
Speaking before the Manufac-
turers' and Bankers Club here to-
day, he advocated the cutting
down of huge Government ex-
penditures and, declaring that
"the silk shirt days are over" :"
urged the individual citizen to
pare his expenses accordingly.
Warns of Initiation
Only by having a balanced
budget, q good credit, and a sound
currency can a country exist per-
manently with happiness, he as
serted. He added:
'If we do not balance the
budget soon, initiation will be in
evitable and our credit will Of
necessity be destroyed"
An exalted idea of necessities
has been built up in this country,
Roosevelt contended. He said:
"Great sums have been spent
on roads where no necessity was
served and where perhaps at
best only q slight convenience
resulted. The community could
have been adequately cared for
1T a tenth Of the cost.
Excellent serviceable post Of
fices have been torn down and
replaced by costly, ornate build
ings-a net loss to the people
and an extravaganza Of the most
foolish type"
Roosevelt pointed out that our
national debt has risen from six
teen billion dollars in 1880 to what
will be, when the sums now allo-
Gated are spent. at least twenty
eight billion dollars.
Economy Advocate
StresSing the need Of rigid econ
omy by the Federal Government,
the States, the counties and mu-
inequalities, he declared such
economy would mean:
i. Consolidation of depart
ments, bureaus and offices, to
the end that duplication may be
avoided.
2. Elimination Of personnel
that is not vitally necessary.
8. A reduced scale Of compen-
sation, such as has been insti-
tuted already by the National
Administration, must continue.
4. Curtailment or abolition Of
all services that are not vitally
necessary.
S. The policy as enunciated by
the Administration with refer
ence to veterans legislation last
year must be continued.
6. Administration economies
must be effected.

DRAMATIC PLEA
FOR CLEMENCY
To Be MADE
,19-Year-0Id Killer Terrified at
"Guinea Pig" Death in !
Untried LethaI Room

DENVER, Dec. % G.N.S0.-A
hrother's love and loyalty brought
Herbert Reppin, Is, speeding
across the country to aid Walter
Reppin, 18, in a last-minute fight
to escape execution in Colorado's
new and untried lethal gas
chamber.
Walter is scheduled to die next
week in the death box" at Canon
City for the murder Of Vincent
Regan, taxi driver, in a hold-up.
Today Herbert will appear be-
fore Gov. Ed C. johnson here to
plead for clemency-clemency
that will save his younger brother
from C. death that the latter is
terrified at. a guinea pig" ex-
pertinent, he describes it.
Boy Weeps at Meeting
Herbert spent several hours
with Walter in the death cell at
Canon City. The condemned
youth, greatly surprised to see his
older brother, broke down and
'wept. 1t was the first real grief
he had shown since entering the
prison. Herbert said:
"WaIter didn't know I was
coming. He didn't want me to
come because he thought 1
would lose my job in Newark,
N. ]. As a matter Of fact, my
employer loaned me the money
to come here to see what l could
do. Walter wants to live. The
braggad0ciO is all out of him
now. He is meek and humble,
and religious influence is aiding
him. He sees the awful wrong
he has done and wants to make
amends"
Herbert explained that Walter
had given him vivid dramatiza-
ton Of the holdup and fatal
shooting Of Regan, claiming he
had no intention of killing the
taxi driver. Herbert said:
walter has had q hard life,
and I hope the Governor will
be lenient."
CLERIC TO JOIN APPEAL
Governor Johnson's Sympa-
thetic attitude toward condemned
youths was demonstrated recently
when he commuted to life impris-
Onment the death sentences of
three young men.
Joining Reppin in an appeal to
the Governor will be the Rev.
Charles A. Wing. Unitarian min
lister, whose aid was enlisted by
the Rev. John Haynes Holmes,
Of New York. Mr.. Wing said:
"ThiS boy is really only a
child. To execute him would be
. terrible blot on the State OF
Colorado. 1 will do all in my
power to persuade the governor
= to extend clemency. The lad
never has had a chance"
Meanwhile, prison officials at
Canon City had completed arrange
ments for a test today of the lethal
gas chamber. The first creature to
die in the device will be hog, &C.
cording to Warden Roy Best. The
animal was chosen over a cat and
Q dog as the first sacrifioial offer
ing to determine efficiency of the
death box"
The test will be made with the
hog strapped to a heavy steel chair,
under which is a vessel that will
contain hydro-chloric acid. Death
eggs" Of cyanide posassium will be
placed in a basket above the YES
sci. In a nearby room with glass
panel, prison officials will pull a
lever that will upset the eggs into
the vessel. The gas fumes result
ing are the most deadly known.

opened for the first time in two

It was built so everybody could see

you can't see the stage but can see
the price mark on every dress in
the house and it's doing fine.
New York opened its season with
an American opera for the first time
