COOPERSTOWN, N. Y, Aug,
"a G.NS)-"She hit Harry over

Nervous and tensed, Mrs,
Martha Cliff today laid before a
farm jury in a packed courtroom
testimony the State believes will
send Little Eva" Coo to the
electric chair for the killing of
Harry Wright on Crumhorn
Mountain last June IA.
Resuming the witness stand at
this forenoon'S session, Mrs. Cliff,
who was indicted with the blond
tavern owner in connection with
Harry Wright's death, was ques.
toned by District Attorney Don
Grant at the point where her
story ended last evening, when
she told of driving Mr.. Wright
and Mrs. Coo to the lonely Scott
farm after Little Eva had
allegedly outlined her plan to kill
Mr.. Wright for insurance she
held on him. Attorney Grant
asked:

TENS could be- fitted to our
needs. Some form of insurance,
however, is going to find its
way into the American social
scheme SOOn."
The American New Deal is be-
ing watched carefully by foreign
governments, Mr.. Hopkins said,
adding:
"They are of the opinion that
we have the greatest and most
dramatic show in the world.
Our experiments are even over

many cases."
SEES FOREIGN UPHEAVALS
The administrator, who was in
Austria three days before the
assassination of Chancellor Doll
fuss, also 'predlcted" radical
changes in the economic Setup OF
several European nations, point
ing to Austria, Italy, and France
as being on the verge of serious
difficulties" if some change is
not made. There is strong
possibility, he said, that Italy may
abandon her gold standard within
a few months.
Discussing the relief programs
of foreign countries, Mr.. Hopkins
said he saw nothing equal in
scope or efficiency to the Ameri-
can system. In Italy, he pointed
out, those on relief rolls are
receiving IS cents a day for their
labor.

day as the husband OF Clara
Phillips, notorious hammer MUIR

Mrs. Phillips was captured IN
Central America IL years ago
after one of the most spectacular
prison escapes in criminal history.
The man believed to be Mrs.
Phillips husband is Armour Lee
Phillips, 40, who gave his address
as Jonathan Club, Los Angeles.
Phillips and Leo Georgia, seized
while riding in an automobile
bearing New York State license
plates, were freed after authorities
here had telephoned New York po-
lice, conveying a description OF the
suspects, as we'll as the results Of

on the person of Georgia, but,

JOHNSON
To REMAIN
WITH NRA
ErStWhiIe "Czar" to Serve
in Advisory Capacity;
Rift Is Denied
BY international News Service

Gen. High S. johnson, Recov-
cry Administrator, is going to
remain with the reorganized
NRA, but there was very ind1ca-
ton today that it will not be in
the czar-like role that he has
heretofore played.
General johnson himself said
today, after an hours conference
with President Roosevelt, that he
planned to remain with the NRA
after it's reorganization, which
will be announced from the sum-
mer White House at Hyde Park
in about two weeks.
Rift Denied
With his customary vigor, Gen
eral Johnson denied all reports
of a rift between himself, Donald
R. Richberg, Secretary Of Labor
Perkins, or any others connected
with the recovery program. He
said:
"The only controversy has
been over the time for the re-
organized Set-up to go into
effect.
"And the only reorganization
that is .nnedr discussion is the
plan / presented for 4 com.
mittee to administer the NRA."
AS General johnson was leav-
ing, Mr.. Richberg arrived for a
session with Mr.. Roosevelt. They
shook hands cordially at the
Presidents door, and chatted ap-
parently amiably for about five
minutes. Then General johnson
left to fly back to Delaware to
resume his vacation, and Mr..
Richberg went in to see Mr..
Roosevelt.
Delay Unexplained
The reason for postponing the
announcement of the NRA reor-
ganization plan was not immedi-
ately apparent. Originally it was
intended to announce the new
set-up before the President leaves
for Hyde Park tomorrow night.
1t was presumed, however, that
Mr.. Roosevelt has encountered
more difficulties than he antici.
