WHITE HOUSE
CONFERENCE
MOMENT NT0US
Continued From Page u

wealthy Michigan Republican and
former associate of Henry Ford
Couzens indicated belief that Mr.
Roosevelt had some concrete sug-
gestions to put forth.
Tomorrow the President will hear
the labor side of the dispute from
President William Green of tie AM
erican Federation of Labor and
delegation of union leaders from
Michigan.
The automobile men won an ini-
tial point in their demand for a
separate conference with the Pre-
sident. Every indication at the
White House had pointed toward
combined conference with industry
and labor tomorrow. The manufac-
turers disliked this and it was agreed
the President would see them today
and labor tomorrow. He made clear,
however. that he expected the in
duStrialiStS to remain here for pos
Sible further meetings.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Pre-
sident Roosevelt swung the power of
his personal influence today toward
settlement of the automobile labor
crisis after winning a 48-hour truce
in the conflict which threatens his
entire recovery program.
Confronted by growing disputes
between capital and labor in the ma
tionS three major industries-Steel,
railroads and automobileS-the Pre-
Sident and his administration moved
with characteristic speed and asSur-
ance.
Responding to the chief eXecu-
tive's prodding, the railroad dispute
seemed on its way TO compromise.
His administration moved to enforce
the labor provisions of the steel
code, and his own intervention post
poned at the last minute strike of
automobile workers that all obser-
yers agreed would have spread and
tied up the entire industry.
The automobile strike was far
from settled and it was feared that
a compromise satisfactory to both
sides might prove difficult. Mr..
Roosevelt, however, confidently pre-
pared for a vital conference with
representative of management and
labor tomorrow when he will seek
to iron out the bitter dispute grow
ing cut of labors efforts to organ
ize the industry under the provision
OF the recovery act that guarantees
the right of collective bargaining to
labor
Both sides, it was pointed out,
aside from agreement to sit around
the table" and discuss the issue
were determined to stand by what
they hold to be their rights. But ad-
ministration friends were confident
Mr.. Rooseyelt's persuasive powers
would accomplish compromise Of
some sort.
Definite progress looking TO Set
tlement of the railroads wage con-
troyersy was made as the President
delivered a virtual ultimatum to
both sides to get together or he
would be compelled to step into the
picture. A few hours after his letter
was dispatched. the conference OF
managers, representing the roads,
agreed to abide by his terms for
further negotiations with the men
and in turn called on the latter to
co-Cperate.

Parking Tags Must be Respected-City Fathers Deere
MALLOY MURDER
 FULLY PAID FOR
Last of Insurance Crime Quartet Went to the
 Fatal Chair

Ossining, N. r., July 6,-(UP). The difficult murder of Durable" Michael Malloy was completely ex. pat'ated today with electrocution fo Joseph Murphy, Bronx barten- der. Reprieve ending in failure to prove insanity Murphy marched to the Sing Sing electric chair a month behind Frank Pasqua, An thony Marine and Denial Kries- berg. He stared duly at guards, and three minutes late, at 1103 p. m., one of New York's strangest murder cases flashed to a close.
 The quartet insured the life of barroom derelict Malloy and set out to kill him. They made many attempts but over several months succeeded only in convincing hard to-kill Mike of their attentive kind ness. He liked poisoned whiskey, glass-filled sandwiches and tainted oysters. Run down by a taxi cab, Malloy found a hospital restful. Finally he died peacefully that good liquor" in his stomach and a gas tube in his mouth. But after all their trouble the conspirators failed to collect $7S0 insurance be- cause the company investigated and started them after the share of their durable victim.

do their part, have paid the stip- ulated dollar, or till recently, two dollars.
 Furthermore, those who ignore tags will find themselves in real legal trouble. No more can mo- torist let tag go for week or two, then if he has been unable to dispose of it, drop into city court and pay only a dollar. From now on, those who have to be brought to city court, must not only pay the single dollar, but costs as well, even possible fines. This phase of the new rulings should, it Is be- lieved, bring drivers in almost im- mediately with the requisite dollars.
 Rigid Enforcement
 Supt. Mclean said today that It cannot be emphasized too strongly the rigor and absolute indiscrim- ination with which the parking tag payment rule will be enforced. No one, from the top city official down, can escape payment for tag, un- less he chooses to go to city court and there perhaps have to pay court costs as well.
 There will not be one eXcep- tion," stated the superintendent. Everyone pays from now on."
 Women Also Included
 Not even women, the meeting agreed, can escape the dollar levy. They can smile and cajole, wheedle and implore, but still the meeting decided, they must come across with the dollar. So it appears, come to an end the old practice Of when a man gets a tag, he has his wife pinch hit for him at the po- lice station or with some city off, cial to get rid of the tag.

 Bans Entertainments The commissions new rule com pletely bans entertainment in tav- erns, whether 1t be music or sing ing. Dancing is barred under the new regulation. Also announced from Hartford Is another rule, for bidding alterations of thel interiors of taverns without express consent of the liquor commission. The commission emphasized that no dimmed or soft-colored bulbs shall be used in taverns and that light ing must allow clear view of the interior. Instructions to clear view, such as window signs and the like. are also eliminated.
 The ban on entertainment, at tackled sharply here Tuesday at a meeting of the local branch of the state association, Is according to officers and members of the asso- citation, an example, of unfairness and discrimination. They admit that there are taverns which have allowed disorder to result from music and dancing but claim that only the offenders should suffer.
 Taverns Will Obey
 President John Delaney of the Waterbury local said today that he is certain that Waterbury's taverns, despite their views on the regula- ton, would abide by 1t as long as 1t is in effect. He expressed the hope that the state association may be able to have the commission rescind the order and in its stead conduct campaign that will result in the loss of licenses for disorder ly taVerns,

garded as recognition by the gov ernment, planning the second phase of it's third reich, that the country's immediate future de- bends on economic rather than po- litical measures.
 Ills powers are almost unlimit- ed. But he is known as man of conservative policies, and is ex- pected to proceed carefully.
 It was felt. we'll informed source said, that economies like everything else in Nazidom must tend toward unified control, and that only through such control can the unfavorable trade balance be attacked successfully, imports and exports properly to alleviate the drain on the mark, the reemploy- ment be assured and industrial raw materials be properly distrib- uted among the nations process ing and producing units.
 For six months the country has been in precariouS economic condition, and the government s sweeping measures have done little if anything to help 1t. The recent forced cutting of imports to save the reichsbank dwindling stock of foreign exchange aggravated the condition.
 As the result of practical strangling of imports, factories are increasingly finding themselves short of raw materials. This causes the dismissal of workers. Social re- percussions to these conditions are great and doubtless will be great CT. The fact that in it's effort to push reemployment the govern ment had to cut wage levels is a source of danger.
 Retail trade is in a bad slump. Harvests probably will be consid- erably below normal because of the spring drought--though not disastrously so as early reports in- dicated.
 Despite all this there is no vis- ible ground for the assumption that anything approaching a food shortage faces the country. Food stuffs receive preferential treat ment among imports and foreign exchange Is always obtainable for them.
 Because of the Nazis' national istic emphasis, farmers are pro- ducing more, and more diversified crops. The Nazis favor agriculture whenever possible, and the reali zation is acute that 0 food short- age would be politically dangerous.

men, whom police say are frequent bat invariably innocent offend CTS.
 Install Cash Register
 Superintendent Mclean will have a. cash register installed at the desk at police headquarters. Every tag given out by police must be officially accounted. Gone forever, it,was decided at the meeting, are the days of fixing up" tags, no matter who the offender Is. No one in. the administration or in the po- lice department or connected with city court can accept in the future a-tag from q friend, or a friend of a-friend.
 The police superintendent has been at the head of an active cam paign against parking for the last several months. His last move pre- vfOus to the present drastic one was tu reduce the amount of fine for parking violation from $2 to $1. This helped conditions somewhat, but there has still been much H. legal parking, with many of the vfolators either ignoring the tags or having them liked up."
 - Discuss Double Parking Double parking was discussed at the special session and 1t was de- cided that if conditions in this par ticular branch of ordinance viola tiUn do not improve, offenders in thls respect may have to pay $2 in- stead of the customary $1 now im- posed for other violations. All po- lieemen are being instructed to-day by the superintendent to enforce rfgidly all parking rules. Those who violate them have to pay; there IS no other alternative.
 at Is well-known that conditions iff regard to parking violation and tags have needed great improve rnent. Police have made every ef- faTt to enforce the city ordinances, but they have been hampered by a widespread ignoring of their tags. Many drivers have even defied of- fi0ers to tag their machines, saying that they have a friend who'll make 1t all right"
 Tags Go Astray
 a.Tag after taI, somewhere in the paocess between policemen and payment, has gone astray, with l11rdly a notice of it's final fate. A source of great annoyance in par ticular has been the large number of nolles given in city court to those who have violated parking regulations. When tags finally reach the office of the police su- perintendent he has found more than a few of them marked ''fiolled," while other motorists, ad- hitting their guilt and wanting to

while the deadly gas fumes rose from beneath the chairs into which they were strapped, ending their lives.
 During the night Manuel tried to take all blame for the murder of Charles Washburn, prospector, and save Fred's life. Manuel said Fred only helped hide the body. Wash burn was killed for $35.
 Whole Family Arrives
 Mrs Alexandra Hernandez Lopez, a frail woman with lined face, came to state prison with IA of her chill dren and an aunt and a cousin of her boys Manuel, 19, and Fred, IS, who had some 12 hours left of life.
 The bay had given their last re- quest to Warden A. G. Walker. Having read the Bible constantly since they were condemned, they wanted Q Hast supper" with their mother, brothers. and sisters. In the corridor outside Death Row" prison attendants set table for 21. Mrs Lopez, sagging and in tears sat at the head. On her left was Manuel and on right, Fred.
 Warden Walker sat at the foot and the Rev s. s. Hanna, prison chaplain, was on his right. On either side were children ranging from three to IT. The Lopez fam fly speaks only Spanish and Span ish, and Spanish rose and fell in silvery cascades. The Rev Hanna, after he had pronounced a bless ing, remained silent. Warden Walker had nothing to say. With- in 12 hours he personally would put the honored guests two sons to death.
 Victims Did the Talking
 Manuel and Fred seemed to feel 1t was up to them to make the oc- casion successful and they did most of the talking.
 They ate heartily. Mrs Lopez hardly touched her food. After the supper the boys were returned to their cells and the family, weeping and wailing, left the prison.
 Death Came Quickly Death was administered swiftly. Accompanied by their parish priest, they entered the white chamber. The priest administered the last rites of the Catholic church.
 The boys were stripped to their waists. They were strapped in the stiff-backed chairs and blindfolded.

He expressed the belief that Hoffman had been dead since last night, The wire had cut its way deeply into the mans neck, badly discoloring it. In Hoffman's mouth was a match, held between his teeth. while his hand, clutching a leaf from the tree, gave evidence of last futile effort to save himself from death while he was hanging.
 Was fin Plain View
 The spot where Hoffman hanged himself Is in plain view of the highway and about halfway be- tween the roadway ard the edge of the Chase company building. He used a pile of stones. carefully gathered and heaped up, as a scaffold. A fence picket. about five feet long, was used to hold the wire loose, while the man prepared to make the fatal leap.
 As far as is known, the man leaves no relatives. The identity of "Lottie" is still a mystery. but ii Is expected that the body will be claimed later today. It is reported that Hoffman had been out of em- ployment for the past two years.

 Their lips moved. Once they turned to one another to speak.
 A bright yellow sun was just creeping over the horizon, when Warden A. G. Walker perked a string, dropping 15 pellets of cy- anide into a pan of sulphuric acid.

 The enclosure in which the spec tators were standing was filled with an obnoxious acidy odor.

 BY MORRIS DE HAVAN TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent)
 San Francisco, July - (UP) - Two thousand soldiers occupied the riot torn San Francisco Wa terfront today. Their commander intimated they would shoot down rioters without hesitation. Authorities obviously anticipated renewal of yesterdays frenzied fighting in which two were killed and more than 50 injured.
 The entire waterfront was pa- trolled by troops clad in steel hel- mets. carrying full field and riot equipment, and armed with bayo- neted rifles.
 For the minute the long line of docks where since May striking Longshoremen and Maritime work CTS have engaged in sporadic bat ties with police, were quiet. The falling of night and the arrival of soldiers cleared the last of the strikers and sympathizers who withstood wave on wave of tear and nauseating gas to battle police hour after hour.
 They May Come Back
 Daylight, 1t was feared. would bring them back. Adjutant General Seth Howard warned the public to stay away.
 These troops are armed with firearms and not with clubs" he said. After one warning has been issued. the troops will act imme- diately."
 Before the 159th Infantry and the 250th Coast Artillery left their armory, they received these in- structions from LieutenantColonel David P. Hardy:
 "If it is a question of you or the rioters. get them first. If you are attacked. clip them, then bay onet them, then use bullets.
 Remnants of the army of 5000 strikers that fought so bitterly yesterday. were sullen and gave no indication they planned to give the troops trouble.
 I've cannot stand up to police guns and National Guard Bayo- nets." Harry Bridges, ''left wing" strike leader, said.
 San Francisco residents seemed to greet the troops joyfully.
 Other unions charged the Mari- time workers were led by "com- munists and radicals men who are not workers but agitators."
 The two dead both died of police bullets. At least two had injuries soc ritical 1t was feared they might die. Thirteen rioters were shot; IT more were injured or gassed so seriously they were in hospitals. Some 30 others received treatment for decorations caused by police clubs. Hundreds were made i'll by-gas.
 The fighting resulted from the effort of the industrial association to open the port which had beeu blockaded since May 9 when the Maritime striker was called. The state began operating it's belt line railroad and trucks moved in to the dock buildings.
 The strike affects all the Pa- cific coats and the ports of Seat tie and Portland are effectively tied up. The Port Of Los Angeles has remained open.
