WOMAN GETS
TERM IN JAIL
FOR CONTEMPT

LOS ANGELES, May 10. lU.R) -
Belle McCord Roberts, prominent
Long Beach business and society
woman, was under court order to-
day to surrender May % for a
three-day Jail term for contempt
The sentence was imposed by Su-
perior Judge Elliot Craig, nettled at
her failure to appear as a witness at
the recent trial of Frank Golden,
attorney charged with kidnapping.
Judge Craig also fined her 500.
Mrs. Roberts contended an attor-
ney had excused her but this was
denied by the jurist after consult
ing trial counsel. He allowed ner UNI
til May % to dispose of certain
business matters before surrender
ing.
Mrs. Roberts was taken into Gus
tody several weeks ago after Golden
disappeared from a hospital on the
cate Of trial and later was found
to have been taken to a nurses
home by her. She later was released
on condition she appear as a trial
witness.
The jury trying Golden on
charges he kidnapped Mrs. Mary
Gesford Lott, aged San Francisco
widow, disagreed on verdict and
was discharged. Retrial was set fol

New York Stock,

NEW YORK, May 10. U.P)-Prices
moved narrowly on the stock ex-
change today in one of the smallest
Saturday sessions of the year.
All other markets were dull.
Comlnodity .ticTSers barely moved
and prices there also were in a mar
row arc. Grains were exceptional
with wheat rising more than cent
bushel and corn nearly a cent.
Stock sales today approXimated
250,000 shares, the smallest Satur-
day since July 8, 1882, when 235 900
shares were exchanged. Stock sales
last week were 100000 shares,
There were only $4,000 shares ex-
changed on the curb exchange to-
day, the smallest since April !, 1888,
and compared with 144,000 shares
last Saturday. On the Chicago
stock exchange there were only g.
900 shares exchanged against 1000
last Saturday.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 95.13, off GOA;
railroad 43.73. up 0.O6; utility 23.19,
off OIL.
Closing of many European mar
ketS for the WhitSuntide holiday
was an influence in commodity mar
kets and in foreign exchange tran
sactions. 1t may also have had some
retarding effect on stock trading.
Recent dealings in silver that have
been ascribed to the treasury were
lacking today and the near months
turned dull with the others. Near
months in rubber futures were ex-
ceptionally dull with prices down a
few points.
Toward the close, strong grain
market stimulated some interest in
cotton and prices firmed. The bet
ter wheat market also had a good
influence on stocks. They slowly
firmed with a SiZeable list making
small net gains for the day near
the close.
Metal issues led the recovery, par
ticularly the silvers. In the last few
minutes of trading on the commodi-
ty exchange, May silver turned &C
tive. The price, however, held with
in few points of the previous close.
U. S. Smelling, Howe Sound, AM
erican Smelling, and Cerro De Pas
co rallied from their lows which
were fractions to more than point
under the previous close.
Steel stocks did little. During most
of the morning U. S. Steel ranged
between 42as and 427S. 1t got above
the latter level for brief period in
the late trading but was not ac-
tive. The previous close was 429s.

said. Are we to permit it to be
drawn?"
ITO me-" he continued, 1T is one
of the most amazing events in his
tory. Without consideration, with
out debate, in precipitate haste, a
great nation is abandoning a system:
under which, say what you will, and
in spite of recurring depressions, it
has enjoyed for $50 years greater
progress, greater and constantly in
creaSing prosperity, greater happi-
ness and greater freedom than any
ration, any time, anywhere.
And for what? For a system of
centralized, rigid, bureaucratic con-
troll of all industry that has never
worked anywhere and at any time
and even during its brief period of
trial here is already exhibiting every
evidence of failure"
Mills warned that his party must
not be content only to criticise.
1--WE must be careful to distin-
guish between basic principles and
policies" he said. THE former can
not be compromised. The latter
must be approached with an open
mind. In the light of new condi-
tions, traditional policies must be
reconsidered. The world moves. I'm
mense chankes take place. AS a liv-
ing organism, our party cannot livi
in the past. 1t must interpret the
aspirations of the people by look
ing forward, by honest recognizing
of defects in the existing system
and with equal sincerity seeking
their remedy.
I'VE believe that the promise of
American life can be fulfilled with
in the framework of existing inSti-
tutions, without the destruction OF
individual freedom, and in accord
ance with the spirit and purpose Of
the founders of the republic"

MAN IN
ROBLES CASE

TUCSON, May 10. W.P)-Detec-
tives searched local machine shops
today for a mechanic who con-
structed corrugated-ir cage in
which little June Robles was found
chained 10 days after she was kid
naped.
Only a mechanic or welder skill
ed in the art of handling ball ham
mer and lathe, could have con-
structed the torture chamber, au-
thoritieS were convinced.
With no available suspects at
hand, police instigated a hunt for
the builder, believing he either was
involved directly in the kidnapping
or could shed some light on the
identity of the kidnapers.
The metal box, which was sunk
in shallow pit in the desert nine
miles from here, was expertly fash
ioned and constructed. Strips of
sheet iron were cut to fit the side
and ends snugly Nails were pound
ed deeply into the seams with a
ball hammer, a tool difficult to
handle except by skilled hand.
June was released from the cruel
torture box Monday night. An
ankle chain bound her fast. The
only ventilation was from a small
opening at the top which was light
ly screened by cactus and mesquite.
The girl said she was imprisoned
the entire 10 days but physicians
convinced she could not have lived
that long in the cage, believed she
was entombed not more than two
or three days
Hope of an early solution of the
case faded late yesterday when
June absolved the latest suspect,
dude" rancher He was released
when he explained his recent move
ments and June declared he was not
the man who kidnapped her April
25 as she was walking home from
school.

ARBITRATION
PLAN OKAYED
BY STRIKERS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. U.P)
Striking longshoremen gave quail
flied approval today to an arbitra-
tion plan proposed by federal me-
diators to end the strike which has
paralyzed Pacific coast shipping.
The longshoremen empowered
their district executive board to
attend a conciliation meeting today.
The strikers representatives at the
session included: William j. Lewis,
district president; John Bjorklund,
Tacoma; John Finnegan, San Fran
cisco; A. H. Pedersen, San Pedro;
M. McGivern, Seattle; Joseph
Thomas, Astoria; John Ahern,
Portland, and William Dibble, Sc
attic.
While authorizing their district
executive board to open mediation
negotiations, 1900 members of the
International Longshoremen'S asso-
citation, at a meeting here, attached
two provisions which may prove
stumbling blocks to immediate
peace.
The strikers required the eXecu-
tive board to refer back to the gen.
eral membership of all Pacific coast
locals for approval of any proposals
submitted at conferences led by AS
sistant Secretary of Labor Edward
F. McGrady. They also specified
that no longshoremen should return
to work until shipowners had met
the demands of all other maritime
unions now on strike.
McGrady, who flew here from
Washington when threats of gen.
eral strike developed, was confident
of an early truce.
The longshoremen walked out II
days ago after breakdown of nego-
tiations for a 81 an hour wage
scale, a 30-hour week, and unior
recognition. Both sides agreed thai
/ the wage and hour demands can be
arbitrated, but the longshoremer
insist on union recognition, involv.
ing a CLOSED shop" and shipowner;
refuse to consider this demand.
Officials of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial association claimed thai
100 employees of the Richmond-Sar
Rafael Ferry company and thu
Shipowners and Merchants Tut
company had gone on strike.
Company officials denied tina
any of their Employees are unior
members and said that their yes

HURLEY Gets
ANGRY DURING
PLOT QUIZ

WASHINGTON, May 10. U.Pl -
Charges that the department of JUS
tice had attempted to get a false
statement of fact before the public
without assuming responsibility for
it. were hurled angrily at the sem
ate civil service committee today by
Patrick j. Hurley, former secretary
of war.
He was appearing in the patron
age plot" inquiry on charges that,
Republicans were scheming to GUST
Democrats from jobs.
Hurley previously had been ac-
cused of participating in the plot"
1t was charged that men in the JUS
tice department sought to remove.
Democrats from government posi-
tions.
The former secretary of war.
jumped to his feet and shouted an
grily, demanding a complete inves-
| tigation of the entire case.
! THE names of my accusers have
not been made known nor have they
appeared before this committee 50
far as I know" Hurley said.
| Makes strong Plea
LAS a citizen I have a right to-
/ know who are my accusers. de-
mand that this committee accord
me that right. My request has been
denied by this committee.
why should the assistant to the
attorney general of the United
I States be permitted to make a false,
slanderous. and cowardly charge
upon my character, introduce it into
the record of the United States
senate, spread it upon the front
pages of the newspapers of the ma
ton, before he has used the great
agencies of his department to ascer-
tain whether the charge was true or
false?"
Hurley referred to A. v. Dalrym-
pie, assistant to the attorney gen.
eral and former prohibition direc-
tor, who several days ago brought
to the committees attention The
story of the alleged plot
"Is the department of justice
bluffing?" Hurley continued. why
are not the names of my accusers
made known? Is this the part cf
plan to destroy the rep/ations of
all the members of the former ad-
ministration, or is the assistant to
the attorney general just an irres-
ponsible falsifier in charge of the
wooden pistol section of the depart
ment of justice?"
Sen. Kenneth D. Mcclellan
(Dem.) Tenn, interjected:
You're not running this COM
mittee, Mr.. Hurley. serve that no
tice to you here and now
Dalrymple, angered at Hurley's
speech, declared Hurley was sing
ing the national anthem of his par
