BUFFALO, January An idea
born during the dry era that pure
ethyl" otherwise known as drinking
alcohol" might be good medicine for
cancer, was scratched OF the scien-
tific records today.
A lengthy test Of the reputed cura-
tive powers of alcohol made upon
cancerous mice was reported today
in the American Journal OF Cancer
by DR.. Millard c. Marsh Of the State
Institute for the Study of Malignant
Diseases, located at Buffalo.
These mice proved to be a tough
breed, very handy for the liquor tests
Thev drank freely Of 10 per cent
alcohol. At Is per cent they hesi-
tated. and at 20 per cent turned up
their noses
So a set Of eight OF them was
allowed to drink itself to death on
the 10 per cent alcohol. that being
the only liquid taken. The mice lived
for from two weeks to two months
each. The latter period Is equiva-
lent to several years Of . human life.

Flsch Letters Jolt to
Hauptrnann's Alibi

cording to Perrone, Hauptmann
came up, gave him a note and 81
and told him to deliver the note
to DR.. Condor.
This incident would seem to
indicate that the accomplice's only
duty that night was to fetch a taxi
to a quiet spot.
d, AS far as Hauptmann's attorney,
James M. Fawcett, is concerned,
he is as innocent of real wrong
doing as Joe Doakes.
Promises An Alibi
Mr.. Fawcett made this clear
today when he announced his
intention to fight vigorously any
effort on the part of New Jersey
to extradite Hauptmann to
Hunterdon county to stand trial
for kidnapping and murder. He
said:
II am convinced that Haupt-
mann was not the real cuIprit.
ExtraditiOn will be fought. I
feel sure l can prove Haupt-
mann was not in New Jersey
at the time Of the kidnapping.
II have talked with friends of
Hauptmann, who heretofore
have been silent are are reluc-
tant to enter the case. But I
will produce them, If necessary,
to cOrrObOrate his alibi."

that their quiz would produce any

record and alleged pal of Bruno

Russell was quoted as saying
that there are a lot of angles in

According to story told police
by another prisoner, George w.

itentiary prisoner, Russell con-
fided to him that Hauptmann
aided Russell in escaping from
the Westchester County Peniten-
tiary at Eastview, N. Y, in August,
1890.
Russell, alias Nicholas E. Ros-
Ter, and Albert Brooks, has served
time at Burbank, Cal, Yonkers,

burglarized the Manchaug post
office.

The battle of the blue-bloods
over who should take care of 10
year-old Gloria Vanderbilt and
her millions was delayed for a
second time in court here today
due to other work undertaken by

the initial poStponement.

was reSlated for this afternoon
when it was determined Justice
Carew, busy with a jury trial,
could not appear. It was post
poned Wednesday on request of
Attorney Nathan Burkan, counsel
for Mrs. Vanderbilt, due to ILL
ness of his wife.
See Long Hearing
To all appearances, the hearing
now will be a drawn-out affair,
wedged between other business, a
situation, in the opinion of OBJ
servers. entirely in accordance
with Burkan's plans. It is the
general opinion that Burkan, fol-
lowing startling disclosures by a
French maid Wednesday which
resulted in barring of newspaper
men and spectators from the
room. is seeking time enough to
bring a number of royal and
Socially-prominent witnesses from
Europe to testify.

U.s.. TESTSPLAN
To PAY BANK
DEPOS|TORS
Liquidation Scheme Would End
ReCeiverships of Small
Institutions -.
BY EUGENE A. KELLY


The onerous yoke of receiver.
ship under which depositors in
closed banks have been chatting
for years began to crack today.
The Federal Government took
definite steps today to remove
some receivers from their jobs
and put the responsibility for
liquidation of some closed banks
squarely on the shoulders of the
depositorS themselves. The move
is an experimental one and for
the time being involves only the
smaller closed banks.
No D. C. Banks Affected
For the present, at least, no
Washington closed bank is in
volved in the program. If the ex-
pertinent proves successful in
those instances where it. will be
tried, it may be extended so as to
include all closed banks, accord
ing to j. F. T. O'Connor, Comp
troller of the Currency.
BY smaller" banks coming
within the scope of the program
is meant only those banks having
deposits aggregating about $50, 900.
In other words, closed banks with
larger deposits are not being con-
Sidered just now, according to
Mr.. O'Connor.
The program is the result of
conversations in the last week
between Mr.. O'Connor and Jesse
H. Jones, chairman of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation.
Under the plans. which are only
tentative and the details of which
have not yet been worked out. the
RFC will loan money to the re-
ceivers of the banks. taking the
frozen assets Of the banks as col
lateral.
Must End ReceiverShipS
The loan will be conditional.
The receiver must first show that
by the loan the receiverShip will
be completely wound up and that
some going corporation or de-
positors' committee will buy up
the assets. Mr.. OConnor ex-
planned that the depositors' COM
mittee will not be required to put
up cash for the sale of the assets.
The committee then, or the
corporation, such as going
bank, will have complete charge
of liquidation of the closed banks
assets. All sales of property
must be made with the ratifica.
ton of a court so as to protect
further the rights of depositors.
The funds loaned by the RFC
to the receivers of these closed
banks will be used to pay
dividends to the depositors. The
depositors will be entitled also to
any profit made by the de-
positors' committee when dispos-
ing of the assets.
There are between 300 and 400
closed banks throughout the
country with frozen assets amount
ing to about 100000. Approx.
mately 100000 will be loaned
to these banks.

WAGNER PLANS
LEGISLATION
Universal Service

Legislation defining the rights
of employer and employe and
establishing an industrial court
for settlement of disputes will be
pressed by Senator Wagner DD,
of New York, at the next session
of Congress, he revealed last night.
He will also battle for passage
of a bill paving the way for uni
form unemployment insurance
legislation by the States.
Senator Wagner's announce
ment foreshadowed an epic battle
in the next Congress.
In the closing hours Of the last
session, the Wagner labor disputes
bill, celebrating on the controver-
sial IA of the national industrial
recovery act, was sidetracked for
a compromise bill.
It expires next June as it pro-
vides merely for a board to settle
disputes arising out of Section 7-A
which expires along with the en-
tire MIRA next June. But before
the present law expires Congress
undoubtedly will pass legislation
for a permanent NRA.
Senator Wagner said:
