Companions of Cross said his car
stalled at the side of the road prior to
collision with bus and they were
trying to help him back to town.
Capt. Paul P. Blackburn, comman-
dant of the submarine base at Coco

NOGAES, Ariz, October 20 R.-
George j. Shaughnessy, 17-year-ol
convicted slayer of Lon Biankenship
Tucson automobile dealer, sentenced to
die on the Arizona gallows October 81,
may receive stay of execution.
Attorneys for the Albany, N. Y,
youth filed notice of appeal to the
Arizona Supreme Court, which they de-
clared yesterday automatically stays
the execution of the death sentence.
They say the appeal will be based
on the grounds that the information
filed by the county attorney of Santa
Cruz County was insufficient and that
the trial court abused its discretion by
imposing the death penalty in view of
circumstances which developed at the
hearing held in August.
Blankership was killed last July after
he picked up Shaughnessy, hitch
hiker, on the Tucson highway
Shaughnessy confessed to the Staying,
saying he shot Blankenship when the
auto dealer resisted an attempt to
rob him.
The State Pardon Board yesterday
refused clemency.

their response to the N. r. AS re-
quest to put men to work had been
wonderful"
Il feel that the Government has
been very derelict in meeting its obli-
cation to put men to work." Neville
said, in explaining he felt persons in
sympathy with the program should
administer it.
Neville added, II am entirely out of
sympathy with the way in which the
N. r. A. program is being conducted In
the agricultural States, such as Ne
braska.
In agricultural States the N. r. A.
while increasing the cost Of everything
the farmer buys has failed to increase
the cost Of things he sells. The price
Of agricultural products, including live
stocks, in Nebraska today is less than
was the case whep the program went
into effect. The farmer has virtually
engaged in buyers strike, which has
placed a tremendous burden on the
small merchant Who is operating under
the N. r. A.
Thousands of small merchants in
Nebraska will face bankruptcy unless
the increased cost of operating under
the N. r. A. is offset by increased pur-
chasing power through comprehensive
public works program or by increasing
the value of farm products which Is a
complicated matter
THE NJ r. A. should be administered
in Nebraska by men who are in COM
plete sympathy with the program If the
best possible results are to be obtained
and for that reason it seemed desirable
and ethical that I tender my resigna-
ton"

MOB CURB URGED
BY HOWARD GROUP
Letter to President Scores
Inactivity in Dealing With
Lynchings.

(From the $50 Edition of Yesterdays StGr)
The Student Council of Howard Uni
versity today called on President RoOse-
welt "as a last resort of an oppressed
people" to stem the tide of mob violence
finding its expression in such incidents
as the lynching yesterday by an East
ern Shore mob of George Armwood. sus-
pected of having attacked white
woman.
In a letter to the President the Stu
dent Council said:
"Mr. President:
THE Student Council of Howard
University. representing 1000 students
and the spirit of 100000 Negroes. Is
clamoring for the birth OF a New
Negro"
I'VE take this opportunity to remind
YOU of the inactivity and inefdciency OF
our National Government in the han
ding of the lynching question, ques-
ton pertinent to all Negroes through
out the land.
THE young Negro deplores the Lax
attitude that the executive. judiciary
and the legislative bodies of our Ma
ton have assumed in the matter OF
controlling lynching. For 81 years the
lynching and inhuman treatment OF q
depressed people-who have given theil
ali for the SUI port of American ideals
has constantly appeared and reappeareC
without any effort on the part of oul
National Government to see that JUS
tice is meted out to the violatorS OF oul
civil rights"
cat times there have been feeble at
tempts by some of our legislators to al
leviate the lynching evil. The most
prominent effort was the Dyer anti
lynch bill, but this and other efforts
have failed because of the lack of force
full support by the executive head;
Because of this unconcerned attitude
BY our National Government the pro-
mulgators of mob violence have become
bolder and are slowly marching upor
our National Capital, for the last episode
of this horrible drama occurred In less
than 100 miles of Washington.

last night that the national admins

fails to recognize the need of raising
hog prices Immediately and maintaining
them until a tonnage reduction policy
can be made effective.
The program announced Tuesday by
Secretary Wallace and George N. Peek,
agricultural adjustment administrator,
"is substantially different, much more
conservative and its price improvement
effect on hogs much less immediate"
than the plan recommended by Smiths
committee, he said.
while the announced program, If
fully supported by farmers" Smith said
in a statement, will undoubtedly be
very effective in improving the price
level Of hogs in the Spring. Summer
and Fall Of 1884, yet its immediate effect
on hog price levels will be determined
by the amount of continuous and ag-
gressive support given the hog market
