Mai. Daniel J. Donovan, District

both praised the decision of the Presi-

an indication of a new deal for the
National Capital.

been the only alternative.
Estimates to Go to Committee.
The estimates will be forwarded to
the House Appropriations Committee
early next week. so the subcommittee
on the District of Columbia may begin
hearings when it is ready.
These are only the tentative and
preliminary estimates. to be followed
later by the formal report to be made
by President Roosevelt when he sends
the annual budget for the whole Gov

In January.
The Budget Bureau has made sub
stantial progress on the Government
budget so far. and hopes to have eight
groups of estimates in the hands of
the Appropriations Committee by early
next week.
The Budget Bureau has held
series of hearings on all the estimates,
and has developed four to the point
where, by order of the President, they
are ready to go forward to Congress
this week. These include the inde-
pendent offices bill, the Post Office,
State and Justice Departments.
Early next week it is planned also

MURDER IS H|NTED

Los Angeles Grand Jury Has

LOS ANGELES. November ga
letter limiting of murder brought the
death of Jerry Jarnegin, actor and
song writer, before the Los Angeles
grand jury today.
A coroner's jury decided the actor
had committed suicide when he was
found shot to death in his home four
months ago, but members Of the
Criminal Complaints Committee of the
grand jury disclosed they had received
new evidence indicating Jarnegin did
not take his own life.
Committeeman declined to disclose
the name of the writer or to discuss
this unexpected development.
Died During Gay Party.
Jarnegin died in his home last
August 10 amid the laughter of a gay
little dinner party given by his wife.
Irene Franklin, musical comedy actress.
He was alone in the living room, his
wife and three guests said, when their
laughter was broken by revolver shot.
Jarnegin was found dead, his body
slumped over an overstuffed chair. A
bullet had torn a hole in his right
temple. Strangely, police found the
gun in another chair about 8 feet
away.
In the dining room awaiting Jarne-
gin when the shot was heard were
Miss Franklin, her niece, Dorothy
Watson, Lake Charles, La; William
Green. Miss Watson's fiance, also OF
Lake Charles, and Mrs Wally KleinJn,
a friend of the Jarneglns.
Thomas Recently Convicted.
The actors death came few weeks
after he and his wife accused Law
renee Thomas of beating Miss Frank
lin with a table leg because he had
been discharged as house boy. Thomas
was free on bail at the time. Last
week he was convicted of assault and
sentenced to 40 days in Jail.
Without commenting on the nature
of the new clues contained in the
letter, jurymen said that information
tended to support the theory that the
actor did not take his own life. as
Miss Franklin insisted from the time
her husbands body was found.
Five days after his death. Jarnegin's
ashes we're scattered over the hills
surrounding his Lake Hollywood home.

The A. A. A. will seek to increase
next year the payments it makes to
hare-croppers and tenant farmers for
curbing the production Of cotton.
To this end. it will ask Congress for
sl3,0OO,O00 to cover the cost Of ad-

duction.

If this amount can be obtained, Off

cessing taxes can be used for direct

At present some of these taxes are

Producers who wish to make an
additional per cent reduction in
acreage will be permitted to do so
and will receive added payments. One
year contracts will also be offered to
producers who did not participate IN

The A. A. A. forecasts the reduction
would result in planting of about 34,-

% 900 900 this year. 1t estimated a
production of 100000 bales, but
acknowledged that more intensive

Much Behind Trouble.
There was more behind the Moffett
trouble than housing, much more than
the mere question whether Mr.. Moffett
should encourage private housing or
Mr.. 1ckes encourage public housing.
Those high in the Interior Depart
ment know that Mr.. Moffett's first
experience in government under Mr..
Ickes is not now a pleasant recollec-
ton for either Of them. Mr.. Moffett
left his Sl00 000-a-year job with
Standard Oil to be Government repre-
sentative on the Oil Code Authority.
But Mr.. 1ckes was oil administrator,
which made Mr.. Moffett rather su-
perf1uous. At least Mr. Moffett thought
so. They had many tussles about
price fixing, with Mr. Moffett insist
ing price fixing was necessary. Once
things got so bad that Mr.. Moffett
went to the White House. Mr.. Roose-
velt sided with Mr.. Ickes.
1t is not generally knoun. but
since that time Mr.. Mofett has
neUer attended meeting of the
Oil Committee. although he neUer

Odds 2 to on Split.
That remains to be seen from the
results of Mr.. Moffett's dinner today
with Mr.. Roosevelt. At any rate
the betting is now 2 to that the
New Deal will not PROVE to be bis
enough to hold both Mr.. Ickes and
Mr.. Moffett. However, Mr.. Roosevelt

AUGMENTATION
 OF BIBLE URGED
Colored Covers and Up-tO- Date Needed Opines
 New ZealanderS

New Plymouth, N. z. - (UP) - Colored covers and an up-to-date goth Century face are needed for the oldest Christian book, the Bible. to bring 1t into line with present-day tastes according to q resolution passed by prominent church officials in New Zealand. They believe that the Bible suffers in comparison with other books of today by reason of it's antiquated appearance and layout.
 This resolution of the General Synod of New Zealand advocates a wholesale modernization of the Bible by the substitution of a brighter binding for the present universal black one; the use of larger and more legible type; and the relegation of the present chapter and verse numbers to the margin for reference purposes. It also is urged that poetry should be printed as poetry and dialogue as dialogue with the use of quotation marks. Another inn provement suggested is that the double columns commonly used today should be abolished so as to let the type run right across the page.
 The Synod believes that the whole Bible should be rearranged in chronological sequence instead of the present traditional order of the books. and that the Apocry- pha, now usually omitted, should be given a place in the Bible of to- day.
 This resolution will be forward ed to the heads of the British and Irish churches, the Archbishops of ! Canterbury, York and Armagh,

New Fluid Kept Cat Alive For 36 Hours
Experiments at University of Tennessee May Revolu-
 tionize Surgery-Pr0cess Explained

Memphis, Tenn - (UP) - Slow ly taking form behind walls of the University of Tennessee School of Medicine here is a fluid which may revolutionize operating surg cry and save thousands of lives.
 The fluid is artificial blood.
 pr W. R. Anderson, conductor of the experiments, has kept a cat alive 36 hours with nothing but this synthetic blood in its veins.
 Dr O. w. Hyman, dean of the school, who made the announce ment revealing the nature of pr Amberson's experiments, said the scientist had been working for three years on the fluid.
 Despite the hopes with which all associated with the work here have for Artificial blood" all em- phatically declare that it is still in the most experimental of stages and that its use in relation to hu- mons hardly is being mentioned.
 The process, as explained. fol- lows:
 Dr Anderson took OK blood and broke it down to get to the hemo- globin. This ordinarily is obtained within the cells, but Dr Amber sons method removes 1t. This hemolyzes the blood, or removes it from the cells of the red corpus cles. The substance then is mixed with Ringers solution. The mix ture is just like blood, except. the hemoglobin is outside the cells.
 This solution was pumped into the veins of a cat while its life blood was being pumped out. At first the felines died quickly, but each time thes doctor remixed his fluid and tried again. FinallyApne lived 12 hours. then another "A, and finally one lived 36 hours.

 A small modern refrigerator stands in one corner to preserve the precious mothers milk which has kept them alive. The weighing scales are the most modern and ac- curate obtainable, for those slight gains of ounces and half-ounces are what tell the story of a vic- tory of science, and skill, and de- yotion over death.
 All Hospital Needs There
 Here is maze of modern hos pital appliances, some of which have been useful, some of which are held against any unforeseen eventuality. There is an oxygen tank which was used shortly after the babies birth, when Dr. Dafoe despaired for moment of their lives.

 The next animal that is expect ed to be used in experiments is a monkey, as its blood is nearest the human type.
 Chief stumbling block to Dr Anderson is the fact that hemo- globin changes to met-hemoglobin because it is outside the cells. Met-hemogloblin will not carry oxygen effective and the animal dies. When this is conquered, men of medicine here believe it will be feasible to try the artificial blood on humans.
