GANG SAFE HAS
KILLING CLUE

ELIZABETH, N. j., April 13 Il.
N.S0-The contents of a safe
and a safe deposit box were ex-
pected to provide a clue today
to the identity of the gang Slay-
ers of Max Greenberg and Max
Hasself, beer racketeers, shot to
death in their luxurious hotel
suite here.
Prosecutor Abe j. David said
he hoped to obtain a lead when
the small safe. found in the
rooms where the victims were
killed. was opened. A key to a
safe deposit box was found in the
pockets of one of the men.
Greenberg, formerly of st. Louis,
Mo-, and Reading, Pa, was one
Of the owners of a New York
hotel. HaSSel, the other victim,
came from Reading.
The two were riddled with bull

Presidents Day Program
Shuts Out Partisanship

Presidents Day, a day for the
nation to go into its churches
and pray for continued guidance
for its President, should be made
a permanent day, according to
scores of Washington leaders who
have voiced enthusiastic support
of the suggestion of the Hearst
newspapers that April 80 be OBJ
served as Presidents Day
throughout the nation.
For Daily Prayers
The day should be observed,
not in any partisan spirit nor in
unnecessarily eulogizing President
Roosevelt, but to call to the At
tention of the citizens of the ma
ton the great responsibilities at
tached to the office Of President
and to gain for him their pray
ers, they contend.
Clergy of all denominations,
citizens Of all walks of life, busi-
ness and political leaders, pa
triotic, civic and fraternal organi-
cations, all are planning to unite
in the movement, holding cere-
monies in keeping with the sol
emnity of such a day.
The President should have the
prayers of the people every day,

Organized dry forces will

In fact, he said, the sale of beer

drive against repeal of the Eight

Disclosing the attitude Of the

''There il no question that

StitutiOnality of the 81 per cent: Z:

STt is intoxicating because

i Court Delay Seen
Many Congressional lawyers

it will be difficult, if not almost
impossible, to get test case on
80 per cent beer to the Supreme
Court under the terms Of the

Since the Supreme Court ad-
Fourns the first week in June, it
Is doubtful whether a case could

GETS ) YEARS

LONDON. April 13 GN.SD
Lieut.. Norman Baillie-Stewart, Of
the Seaforth Highlanders, was ex-
PEELED from the British army and
sentenced to five years at penal
Servitude today for selling mill
tary secrets to a foreign agent.
The 24-year-old officer, men,
ber of an aristocratic family, was
convicted by a court martial on
seven charges Of espionage and
divulging military secrets in re-
turn for financial gain.
The sentence arrived at by the
court-martial was confirmed by
King George and Immediately
made public. Baillie-Stewart was
ordered "cashiered" from the
army, which deprives him of the
opportunity ever of serving his
country IN a military capacity
again.
Known as the case of "the
prisoner in the tower" because
of the officers detention in the
tower of London, Baillie-Stew-
arts trial was one Of the most
sensational in recent British
military history.
He was accused Of selling i'm
portant military secrets concern
ing construction of British tanks
and rifles to a German agent,
known as otto WaIdemar Obst,
receiving some 80 pounds ($315)
in payment from an allegedly
mythical person known as

protect home owners from in.
equitable enforced liquidation,
in a time of general distress, is
a proper concern Of the Govern
ment.
Refinances for Mortgages
The legislation I propose fol-
lows the general line of the
farm mortgage refinancing bill.
The terms are such as to i'm
pose the least possible charge
upon the national Treasury
consistent with the objects
sought.
It provides machinery through
which existing mortgage debts
on small homes may be ad-
justed to a sound basis Of
values, without injustice to in
vestors, at substantially lower
interest rates, and with pro-
visions for postponing both in
terest and principal payments
in cases of extreme need.
The resources to be made
available through a bond issue
to be guaranteed as to interest
only by the Treasury, will, it
is thought, be sufficient to
meet the needs of those to
whom other methods Of financ-
ing are not available.
At the same time the plan
Of settlement will provide the
standard which should put an
end to present uncertain and
chaotic conditions that create
fear and despair among both
home owners and investors.
Legislation of this character
is a subject that demands our
most earnest, thoughtful and
prompt consideration.

URGES HOME
RELIEF
Asks Legislation to Protect
City Man From Foreclosure,
High Interest

Relief for the "white col
lar" man was sought by
President Roosevelt today as
the newest step in his emer-
gency program to bring about
economic recovery.
Legislation was asked Of Con-
greSS in a special message which
would protect city dwellers from
foreclosures on their homes and
enable them to refinance their
mortgages at lower interest rate
and on q sounder basis Of values.
The aid proposed for small
home owners follows generally
that already being considered for
the refinancing OF farm mort
cages. A bond issue of $4,000
600. 600, guaranteed as to interest.
only by the Treasury, would be
floated to underwrite the refinanc-
ing, and a moratorium on pay
ments OF both interest and prin-
ciple would be granted in cases of
extreme need"
Announcing Policy
In asking for this newest 1egis-
lative step President Roosevelt
enunciated the definite declara-
tion of national policy. He said.
ThiS .palicy is that the :.
broad interests of the nation
require that special safe.
guards should be thrown around
home ownership as a guaranty
of social and economic Stablii-
ty and that to protect home
owners from ineQuitable en-
forced liquidation in a time of
general distress, is q proper
concern of the Government"
The President continued his
practice of keeping his messages
extremely short and to the point.
Today's proposal for a Federal
venture into the field of home
mortgage relief contained less
than 800 words.
The legislation to carry out the
term of the message, introduced
in the Senate by Senator Robin
son CD Arkansas, provides a
capital structure Of $2,2OO,O00,-
600. Representative Steagall Cd
Alabama, introduced an identical
measure in the House.
In addition 100000 900 is ap-
propriated to help in the estab-
lishment of Federal Savings and
Loan Association.

that the idea Of setting aside one
day in the year to emphasize how
arduouSly the President works is
a magnificent one.
Foreign Farley Cited
Senator Fletcher of Florida also
praised the plan, saying:
1--WE arr entering q difficult
phase Of national affairs and
are about to undertake foreign
negotiations Of the utmost inn
pOrtance.
"The President should know
that he has the support Of the
people now as he did last No

foreign nations should be shown
he speaks with the full authority
Of America"
Observance Of the day in tribute
to the President "who brought
us back from the lethargy of de-
Spair to hope and confidence
was urged by Senator Wagner of
New York.
Such a day would be a source of
inspiration and added strength to
the President, in the opinion of

Pan,American Union.

Macdonald Tries In Vain to

MOSCOW, April 13 G.N.S0.
In a dramatic reversal from the
witness stand, W. L. MacDon-

Withdraw his, plea Of guilty and
became enmeshed IN a tangle OF

Contradicting himself at times,
he denied he instructed Sokolov

in connection with his activities

He insisted that money given

The defendant insisted the

Thrown from her favorite

morning canter in Potomac
Park this morning, Mrs. Frank

escaped injury.
She scrambled to her feet, how
ever, seized the reins as the sor-
rel mare stood quietly after toss
ing her rider, vaulted back IN
the saddle, and continued her
ride.
Near Polo Field
Few witnesses saw the early
morning accident. They feared
Mrs. Roosevelt would be trampled
but she escaped injury as the
horse stepped over her body.
Mrs. Roosevelt was accompan-
led by Mrs. Henry Morgenthau,
jr., wife of the governor Of the
Farm Credits Corporation, and
Miss Margaret LIE Hand, secre-
tary to the President.
Starting out from Fierce Mill
in Rock Creek Park, the three
rode down past the Lincoln Me-
mortal and were on the bridal
path leading along the river to
the polo field at the time OF the
accident.
SHED at Puddle
Mrs. Roosevelt was leading,
Miss LIE Hand was next, and
Mrs. Morgenthau brought up the
rear when Dot shied at O pud'
die in the path, slipped in the
mud, and the next moment Mrs.
Roosevelt was pitched over her
mounts head into the mud.
Before her companions could
reach her she was up, however,
had remounted, and despite the
fact that her habit was covered
with mud she insisted on continu-
ing their ride before returning to
the White House.
Accepts 1t Calmly
Mrs. Roosevelt was very calm
after the fall, her companions
said, and accepted it as "just one
of those things"

SIGNS FOR CLASSY
 GOLF SCRAP

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 21.-Bobby Jones, grand siam champion of golf, will appear in only one pub lie match while in Southern Cal ifornia this spring-but that one match gives promise of being a classic. r .s5.., sa
 Bobby, paired with Leo Diegel, of Calexico, Mex, will meet Mac Donald Smith and George von Elm Sunday, March 5, in an eighteen hole best ball match.
 Never before, in the history of California golf, has such a match been arranged and speculation to- day was rife as to the outcome. Von Elm few days ago played Ranch in 66 strokes, and Mac Smith had 68 in the Los Ange- les Country Club.
 This match, sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary of the Southern California Golf Association, is a charity affair-with the players turning over all gate receipts to three worthy causes.

 As in the past three years, Nip pon tennis authorities have elect ed to send their 1892 team to play in the European Zone, partly be- cause of the wider experience this gives the young players and part iy because the chances of rising to the interzone or challenge round are considered brighter against Eu- ropean competition than against the increasing power of the young American stars, notably Ellsworth Vines, Jr, the world No. l.
 Confident of Success
 For several years the Japanese have failed to progress beyond the European semi-finals, usually find ing an unexpected obstacle in Italy. This year they are confident Nu- moi and Sato can clear that hur- de.

Strongest Team Is Bein g Sent to Participate
 Davis Cup Events

TOKYO, Feb. 21.-Japan is send- ing to the 1883 Davis Cup cam paigns in Europe her strongest team in many years, with hopes renewed of reaching at least the final round in the European Zone.
 These hopes are based on the confidence that this year she has two first flight tennis stars, her best such pair, the experts say, since the brilliant zenzo Shimizu and the imperturable Ichiya Kum- sgal blazed across the tennis fir mament in 1921 and reached the challenge round against Bill Til- den and Bill Johnston.
 They are Jro Sato, ace of the 1892 Davis Cup squad, semi final ist at Wimbledon and conquerer Of Ellsworth Vines in two late season tournaments in California; and young Ryosuke Nunoi of Kobe, who downed Sato on the latter's return from these triumphs, in the finals of the national cham pionships here last November.
 Two others chosen for the 1883 squad are Ryuki Miki, resident of London and a veteran interna- ticnalist, who will be captain, and 21 -year-old Eikichi Ito, like Nunoi, student in Kobe Commercial College and for three years Nu- nois doubles partner.
 Tn the 1892 rankings of the .Ja- ran Lawn Tennis Association, Nu- moi, the champion, and Ito were ranked No and No. 2, respec- lively. Sato and Miki were not ranked, since the former played in only one home tournament, the championships, and the latter re- nlained abroad all year.
