One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping across the fields looking
for an adventure he saw, flutter-

were some pieces Of red paper
blown by the wind. But the pieces
skipped and darted about in such
an odd way that the rabbit gentle
man said:
mo, they can't be papers blown
in the wind, for there is no wind

closer, he saw that the fluttering
objects were many red butterflies
who seemed to be dancing in the
sunshine, though the air was cold.

RICHBERG HOLDS BUSINESS
MUST ORGANIZE FOR FAIR
TRADE--NOT ABANDON IT
ndustrialists Move for Presentation of Views in Fu-
ture NRA Set Up; Spokesman of Bankers
Foresees Certain Recovery
BY ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Corresponden

Shttco rcSS SIdH correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (UP)
Industry moved last night to make
it's voice heard in the future set
up Of MIRA as a spokesman for
the nations bankers left the
White House forecasting certain
business recovery.
Thousands of industrialists have
been asked by the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers to an
,swer twelve questions outlining
their opinions on the future re-
lations of government to industry.
The questions touch on every
phase of NRA and range from
whether the act should be allow
ed to die peacefully on June 16,
1885, to whether states shouldn't
be encouraged to enact legislation
which would permit general or
sympathetic strikes such as occur
red in San Francisco a few months
ago.
In a letter to the industrialists,
James, w. Hook, of New Haven,
Conn, chairman of the committee
which drafted the QUESTIONABLE,
said the inquiry was necessary
to consolidate industry's opinion
on the recovery act"
From the replies, it was stated,
industry will determine the stand
it will take when new NRA legis-
lation is sent to the 74th congress.
. AS the QUESTIONABLE went into
the mails, Donald Richberg, direc-
tor Of the powerful new industrial
emesgHncy committee, demanded
return Of "old time" business
competition.
Speaking at a national press
club luncheon, Richberg said bust
ness and industry had become as
sociated in trade groups and had
demanded provisions in codes
bearing on price fixing and pro-
duction control. Through these re-
strictions, Richberg said, it was
believed steady good prices could
be maintained.
He described this as "lop-sided
guild socialism," and "irridescent
dream" and said the policy was
abhorred by even the most radi-
cal advocates of state socialism:
Business must organize for
the protection of fair competition
and not for the elimination OF
competition" he warned.

day in the interest of speeding
up the preliminary survey on the
national parkway from the Vir-

in order that work may begin as

they will be engaged for several

Clashes between civil guards

Various towns have asked the
government for reinforcements.
Rebels are armed with all types
of arms, including machine guns.

Future of the republic is believed

A general strike, seen as the
forerunner Of a revo ] u i o n

night.
The general strike, fomented
against the day-old cabinet of
Alexandra Lerroux, was viewed as
the most serious threat to the re-
public since the downfall of the
monarchy.
1t came as the climax of tur-

at the opening Of the Spanish

by Lerroux's makeshift cabinet to-

Eight hours after the new pre-

organizations struck.
For two days, sitting behind
barred doors, they had watched
the efforts of more conservative
politicians to form a government
that might compose the wide diff

factions. Finally, dissatisfied with
the Ierroux cabinet, which includ-

together with a scattering of min

save himself from the electric
chair.
In a voice we'll modulated but
at times vibrant with intensity,
Bobbie emphatically declared. that
Freda McKechnie died a natural
death and he then bludgeoned her
with blackjack to make it ap-
pear an accident.
The youth, charged with his
neighborhood sweetheart's death,
told his story directly to jury.
His lips were drawn to grim
white line.
"Freda told me she was to be-
come a mother. We were to be
married Wednesday, August 1,
the day after 1 was paid. We went
to Harvey's lake the night OF July
3Oth and went in swimming. Aft

"When l got back to the car

Bobbie told of his courtship
with Margaret Grain, the other
girl in the case, whom he also
planned to marry. He mentioned
her name frequently without a
culver.
When court recessed until 7:3O
p. M, Edwards was still on the
stand. Previous to calling the
star witness, John Phillips, assls-
tant defense counsel, asked the
jury to return a verdict of mot

Phillips made a passionate plea
playing on the sympathy of the
jury. He pointed out that Ed,
