PRESIDENT, OFF
ON TRIP, WATTS
FORD REPORT
Boards Astor Yacht for 5.0aY
Cruise; Depends on Radio
For Developments

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. Aug.
81 1.N.SD D.-President Roosevelt
will have to receive the report on
Henry Ford's failure to come into
the automobile code of fair com.
petition which he asked of Recov.
cry Administrator Hugh S. John.
son aboard the Astor yacht Nour.
mahal by radio if he gets it be.
fore his arrival in Washineton
next week.
The President talked To John.
son by telephone before nc board
ed the Astor yacht here for five
day cruise, but it was said there
was nothing new regarding the
Ford report.
No Separate Code
Strong indications pointed to a
belief on the part of Mr.. Roosevelt
that Ford will find, it to his ad-
vantage to come in under the
automobile code.
These were bolStered, too, bv
the statement coming from Re-
covery Administrator johnson in
Washington that he would not
consider giving Ford a separate
code for his giant plant.
Should the automobile magnate
decide to continue outside the
code, several drastic steps could
be taken if the Administration so
decided. The licensing provisions
of the act authorizing the NRA
could be brought into effect for
the automobile industry.
Use of Force
Then it would be unlawful to
operate any organization in the
industry without a permit. In
this way, unless Ford complied
with the code, it would be possible
to force him under the Blue
Eagles wings.
Again, Johnson might withhold
the insignia of the Blue Eagle OF
the NRA from Ford. and thus
single his manufacturing plant
out from those working in the
great recovery program set IN
by the President.

Huey's Boxing Mentor
Fears for His State lob

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 81
G.N,SO Irwin Poche, chairman
of the Louisiana State Boxing
Commission and pugilistic mentor
of "One Punch" Huey Long,
trembled in his boots today-all
because of the larruping admin
istered the United States Senator
from Louisiana by New Yorker.
The professor, reports have it.,
is fearful the KingfiSh won't let
him be chairman any longer.
The professor, athletic director
of the New Orleans Athletic Club,
recently was retained by Huey to
give senatorial boxing lessons. 1t
so happens that Poche knew even
less about boxing than "One-
Punch" Huey.
However, Poche took lessons. He
then impaired his knowledge to
"One-Punch."
After a month or so, "One-
Punch" is reported to have
become convinced that he knew
as much or more about boxing
than the late Marquis of Queens
berry. Then came the battle of
Sands Point.

BY DAVID A. LAMSON
AS Told to Ralph B. Jordan

SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. 81 G.N.
SO.-There seems to be consider
able misunderstanding of the testi-
mony introduced at my trial so
far, especially that regarding Mrs.
Sarah Kelley, of Sacramento.
The State has introduced
samples of her handwriting, lead
ing newspaper men to inquire of
me if the State hasn't some let
ters which she wrote to me and
which the prosecutors intend to
put in evidence later.
Knows No Letters
I know of no letters which could
be put in evidence, because she
wrote none to me, with the pos
sible exception of a business note
or two-the kind of correspon-
dence which might be expected
between the sales manager of
publishing house, as 1 was for the
Stanford Press, and the editor of
a garden page of newspaper, as
Mrs. Kelley was in Sacramento.
1 am told that the State has
offered for Identification several
poems which Mrs. Kelley wrote
and sent to me and which appar-
emily were taken from my desk
at the Stanford Press.
Sent to a Critic
Well, she sent those poems to
me for only one reason-I had
become known as a critic of
poetry. I don't say I was a good
critic, or even a critic at all, but
somebody told Mrs. Kelley I was.
For that reason she sent me
the poetry, asking me to look it
over and tell her what I thought
of it.
I just put it in my desk and
there it was when my desk was
searched; among a lot of other
papers I had.
was in Sacramento a number
of times, but on business only,
and it is ridiculous to assume
otherwise.
I made no attempt to hide my
trips from anyone, naturally, just
the same as any other man would
go about his business openly.
Nothing Personal
My attorney asked me II all
the signatures on the Sacramento
Hotel register were mine. 1 said
certainly they were, and he stipu-
lated that they were.
There was no need for the State
to try to prove that.
I saw Mrs. Kelley about her
garden page and other matters
which we thought might prove
mutually profitable, but there was
nothing personal about our con-
ferenceS.
1t just happens that under the
present circumstances anything I
might have done is examined with
suspicious eyes and the worst pos
sible interpretations are put forth.

Ford Workers Not Barred
From Recovery Parade

DETROIT, Aug. 81 G.N.sD.
NRA headquarters here and in
Dearborn today emphatically de-
MED a report that Ford Motor
Company workers had been
barred from an NRA parade be-
cause Ford has not signed the
motor industry code. Said Abner
Larned. Detroit NRA head:
Nobody is barring anybody
from the parade"
Another official explained that
it was assumed, of course, that
any business concern which had
not signed a code would proba-
bly, not be interested in the
parade which is to be held to-
night in downtown Detroit.
At Dearborn, Ernest G. Miller.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Aug.
81 G.N.SO O.-PreSident Roosevelt
started the return trip to Wash
ington after a Today vacation in
his Hyde Park home today, and
he had not signed the coal code
when he left.
The Executive left here at
11:15 a. M, Washington time,
aboard Vincent Astor'S yacht The
Nourmahal, and will arrive in
Washington Monday night or
Tuesday morning.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson telephoned the PreSi.
dent just before he left his home
that he was making progress on
the code for the coal industry,
but it was not yet ready for
signing.
Johnson Optimistic
The President is confident the
code will be ready for his sigma
ture when he arrives in Wash
ington.
He had expected to affix his
signature to the code before
leaving here, after johnson re-
ported late last week that he
had secured agreement on the
broad principles of the code from
both operators and labor.
Johnson's report this morning
was optimistic, however, and the
President did not feel that the
added delay was serious.

signed as Assistant Secretary of

SLASH ESCAPED
BY POWER UNIT

Employees of the Federal Power
Commission who are paid from
public works funds are exempt
from the IS per cent pay cut
dictated by the economy act,
Comptroller General ]. r. McCarl
ruled today.
This is in line with numerous
similar decisions regarding en-
ployes paid from emergency ap-
propriations or working in the
new emergency units. The basis
of the decision is that their jobs
were not in existence when the
economy act was passed and their
compensation was not fixed by
any existing law.
The ruling goes somewhat
farther than most of its pre-
decessorS, however, in recommend
ing that basic salaries be kept in
line with others in the Federal
service.
AS an administrative measure,
it is pointed out, these basic
salaries can be fixed to conform
to salaries in other Federal estab-
lishments that are paid after the
imposition of the cut.
The Federal Power Commission
was granted 100000 in public
works funds to investigate the
cost of production and distribu-
ton Of electric power, and to
undertake certain other surveys of
electrical potentialities and re-
sources of this country.

A S0F TY,
LICKED BY. BOY,
SAYS CURLEY
Wrestling Promoter Declares
Senator Can't Take 1t
Or Dish 1t Out
BY PAT ROBINSON
international News Service
Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 G.N.S).
Far from being the hard-boiled
citizen he poses as being, Senator
Huey Long, LouiSiana's self-styled
kingfiSh, is. just a big softy who
can't take it. He can't even
give it-except with his mouth.
Such, at least, is the verdict at
the exclusive Sands Point Bath
Club today, where the boisterous
Huey got the beating of his life
Saturday night from slim
young fellow not half his size.
Curley Tells of Fight
In an exclusive interview with
International News Service, Jack
Curley, the wrestling promoter,
who rushed Huey away from the
club, painted a picture of a diff
ferent Huey than the one the
Senator is wont to paint for his
followers. Jack said:
"YOu should have heard him
whining and blubbering like a
kid after that young fellow had
hung one over his eye. Huey's
not tOugh-unIess he has a
gang with him. Why, he was
scared stiff, even after Gene
Buck and got him away in my
car.
INVITED HIMSELF
"He was boisterOuS when he
reached the club after inviting
himself as a guest. He was
strutting all around the place
like turkey and clustering like
dock worker.
"WhiIe the show was on he
went into the wash room. He
got in a row there with this
young fellow and the boy
SOcked him, cutting a cash
about two inches wide over his
eye.
II tried to get him to go back
into the wash room to wash
him off and see if we could
find the fellow who sOcked him
but he nearly tainted when 1
made the suggestion. He was
SO frightened it was funny"

If Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace will get busy and pro-
mote a lot of these corn-eating

why it can't be made as popular

cution with the intent of con-
vincing the jury that all was not
platonic between David and Sara.
They are certainly evidence
that as a poet Sara Kelley has
little regard for herself, for in
the margin of the one all about
love and life she has Scribbled:
Lousy, but, you get the
idea"
Left in a Book
The other verse-evidently her
thank you" for the box of spring
flowers David sent her-might
have been written by Sara Kelley
when she was coed at Stanford
instead Of the self-styled dizzy
blonde" divorce of the Lamson
murder trial. Just a word pic
ture of a pear tree, white and
delicate on a distant hill a
vision that she will "pick" for
him. Says the defense:
Nothing to it. Dave sent
her few flowers, took her to
meals. What business man
doesn't do such things? She
sent him a couple of poems
that meant so little to him
that he left them in a book"
But the prosecution will at
tempt to show that David Lam
son did not live in that modern
sophisticated world where a wife
regards flowers for her rival as
mere gesture.
Prosecutions View
The prosecution will attempt to
show that David Lamson did not
even live in that world where
men send flowers to their dinner
hostesSes. The Lamson budget,
the prosecution will contend, did
not permit such pleasant ex-
travaganceS, and it will show
the jury a picture of Allene Lam
son, the wife, doing her own
work, holding down a job in the
Stanford Y. w C. A., while her
husband spent money needed at
home on Sara Kelley.
When Sara Kelley comes into
this courtroom to prove by word
and letter that Allene was not
jealous of her, the prosecution
will contend that the letters were
written before the wife became
suspicious.
The prosecution yesterday pro-
duced its first witness to prove
that David Lamson and Allene
were on the verge of separation
before she was killed, or died
accidentally In the bathroom of
their Stanford campus home on
the morning of May 30.
Dual Personality.
Frank j. Taylor, associated for
six years with David Lamson in
the Stanford Publishing business,
was not very happy on the wit
ness stand yesterday as he re-
vealed that Lamson had told him
that Allene wanted separation
and Lamson had added:
1--WE cannot get along and
I don't care what happens"
Today the prosecution expects
to call DR.. Frederick Prosecher to
strip the college veneer from
David Lamson and show that
what happened was that he killed
his wife, Allene, before she had a
chance to leave him.
The prosecution is presenting to
the jury David LamSon with
dual personality. A man who
could, when he was seized with
an attack of fury, come at his
wife with murder in his clinched
fist. murder in 10-inch length of
finger thick iron pipe-not the
composed David Lamson who sits
in court. but a wild. uncivilized
brute who could bash in his wife's
head. and then return to that
other self the world knows as

to consolidate duplicate boards and
bureaus and trim the expenditures

it's receipts from taxes. This should
have been done by Congress long ago.
