MIRA to Be Issue
The Federation of Labor asks,

The Manufacturers Association,

But the average candidate
knows the power of the American

years he has become somewhat
skeptical of the power of the
business man. Nevertheless, he
knows that two months before
election is no time to antagonize
anyone.

wondering how they can say

Ralph Lopez De Onate, Spanish

that Ellen's father, United States
Senator William Gibbs McAdoo,

The young couple confirmed
this today as they waited between

CANDY PO|SONS
8, CHILD DIES

DENVER, Nov. IL G.NS0.
One child was dead here today,
and physicians battled frantically
to save the lives of eight others
poisoned when they ate marsh
mallow from the bottom of bar
rel in which arsenic had been
placed.
The dead child, Nellie Lucero,
II months old, was the youngest
of a group of nine who went in
search of a pet rabbit Saturday.
The hunt led them through a junk
yard where a pile of barrels was
stacked. In one of the barrels
they found something that tasted
like candy and ate it.
When several of the children
became i'll a short time later they
were taken to a hospital, where
attendants learned what had hap
pened. Police were notified. They
rounded up the other children
and took them all to the hospital,
where physicians set to work to
save them.
Two of the other children, both
brothers of the dead child, were
reported in critical condition
early today.
H. Finklestein, owner of the
junkyard. said he bought the
barrels from a candy manufac-
turer and sprinkled arsenic in
them to kill rats that infested the
neighborhood.

ALASKAN PLANE
SERVICE URGED

President Roosevelt today heard
a first-hand account of the Army's
Alaska airplane flight last July
and August, the story being told
him by Lieut.. Col. H. H. Arnold,
U. S. A., commander of March
Field in California, who told re-
porters that unless we get into
Alaska with the proper flying field
bases and facilities, someone else
will do it.
Colonel Arnold said:
at is only short hop, speak
ing in the language of aviation,
from Alaska to Japan. We
should study the situation seri-
ously."
Colonel Arnold is one of the
worlds pioneers in flying. He
learned his initial lessons in
1911 from the Wright brothers.
The Army flight to Alaska,
which he headed, was carried out
by 10 planes, all of which re-
turned to the United States safe,
although one plane had to be
fished out of the water in an
Alaska bay which had a forty.
five foot rise and fall of tide.
Colonel Arnold's story at the
White House revealed the fact
that airplane flights across the
mountain ranges there save trav-
elers literally weeks of time. He
spoke of one flight of four hours
which covered two points which
require a month Of travel by
steamboat and pack trains under
ordinary conditions.

SEARCH STARTS
FOR NOTES ON
BERN DEATH
Testimony of Jean Harlow
Before Grand Jury Never
Transcribed, Probe Told

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IL GIN.
S.).-The question Of just what
Jean Harlow, platinum blonde
screen star, told 1882 grand jury
investigators concerning the sui
eide of her former husband,
Paul Bern, motion picture pro-
Queer, remained mystery today.
Copies of the statement made
by Miss Harlow following the
death of her husband could not
be found when they were sought
by the 1884 Los Angeles county
grand jury, which reopened the
sensational case as part of it's
probe into county expenditures.
Search Pressed
Despite the emphatically re-
peated statement that it's probe
of the Bern case had to do only
with the expenditures made in
the suicide investigation a thor
ough search was under way to-
day in an effort to locate
transcripts of Miss Harlow's
testimony, given at a swank
hotel where the grand jurors
rented a suite of rooms to con-
duct the investigation.
It was learned, however, that
much of Miss Harlow's story to in
vestigators was never transcribed
from the notes taken by steno-
graphers. AS a result of this
revelation, a search was under
way in an effort to locate the
shorthand notebooks of the steno-
graphers, in order to have the
testimony ready should 1t be
needed.
Foreman Sure
W. W. Widenharn, who as fore
man of the 1882 grand jury con-
Quoted the probe into the Bern
suicide case, today reiterated his
often repeated statement that he
was "satisfid that Bern's death
was due to suicide and see no
reason to change my stand now"
With the grand jurors slated
to resume their probe of ex-
penditures of county and city
officials, it was apparent that
for a second time the Bern-Har-
low case had been closed.

EARLY ACTION
DEMANDED
ON BONUS
Initiation, Higher Taxes and
CWA to Be Pushed in Hope
of Winning Compromise
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt's power will
be tested early in the Seventy
fourth Congress by inflationary,
bonus and other "blocs," it ap-
peared today.
Although the election was gen.
orally construed as a personal
Endorsement of the President,
spokesman for the ultra-progres-
sives already have disclosed plans
to push legislation frowned upon
by the White House in the past.
The battle for cash payment
of the 100000 soldiers
bonus may be the first. Repre-
sentative Patman CD of Texas
already has assurance that the
bill will be labeled mo. l." in the
House. Bonus advocates are ex.
pected to demand assurance OF
a vote from speakership candi-
dates.
Initiation Is Issue
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma is expected to open the
initiation drive even before Con-
gress convenes, with the hope OF
obtaining action before the regu.
lar program is shaped.
Administration leaders are con.
fdent the President will rule
Congress. The real hope of the
bloc leaders, they say, is to create
so much sentiment for measures
that the White House may agree
to a compromise. This practice
was followed in the last session.
Among bloc" proposals, in ad-
dition to the bonus and paper
initiation, are:
Complete reconciliation of sill
yer.
Creation of a central bank to
issue all money.
Enactment of a mandatory 30
hour week law, with exceptions.
A soak-the-rich plan of taxation,
boosting the present high inherit.
ance and income taxes.
A new CWA plan, with funds
enough to provide jobs for all un-
employed.
Refinancing of all farm in
debtedness with "greenback" cur
rency.
Administration leaders have evil
denced an intention to prepare
their program speedily to prevent
the "blocs" from swinging into
action.
One Of their aims is a short ses-
sion. Through the Administration
program, leaders hoped to declare
adjournment before many group
measures have reached the voting
stage.
Advocates of central bank, on
which the Administration has
turned thumbs down, gained an
ally in Senator Borah (R) of
Idaho. The movement has been
sponsored by Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Leaders of the American Fedora
ton of Labor are convinced, from
answers given by candidates in
missionaries, that there will be
more sentiment for 30-hour
week. Senator Black CD of Ala
bama, who once pushed a 30-hour
week bill through the Senate, may
lead the movement.
