WASHINGTON, Oct. %. CUP
President Roosevelt last night
appealed to the public to share the
relief burden being carried by
federal, state and local govern
ments by maintaining local chart
ties at least at, current levels.
His address opened community
chest campaigns under a central
organization, the 1884 mobilize
ton for human needs.
ftFor the SECOND successive
year." the president said, Il am
making direct and frank appeal
to the country to give support to
worthy local charities of all kinds.
"May 1 very simply explain to
YOU two facts which all of US
should bear in mind?
"The first is, that, the federal
government, the state govern
ments and local governments are
all of them bearing an unusually
heavy load of expenditures for
relief and employment purposes
"a load SO heavy that every good
citizen should seek to tighten it in

Heavy rains ard storms over

23. (UP).-Charles pretty Boy)
Floyd, one of the most notorious
and cold-blooded killers of mod
ern times, was executed late yes
terday by federal agents.
He died, as did John Dillinger,
as result of relentless search by
operatives of the United States
department of justice who shot to
kill as soon as they saw the out
law.
With ID bullet holes in his back
and sides, Floyd lay on a slab IN
a funeral parlor last night while
hundreds of townspeople, many
of whom had served in posses
which searched the woods for him
for two days, struggled to view
the body.
With the killing of Floyd, Mel
vim Purvis, ace department. OF
Justice manhunter who brought
down John Dillinger in Chicago,
virtually ended his search for the
perpetrators of the Union Station
massacre in Kansas City.

dead. His pal and confederate in
Kansas City, Adam Richetti, was
guarded in a cell at Wellsville,
Ohio. He was caught in police
trap out of which he was unable
to shoot his way Saturday.

short-lived. He eluded searchers
for 4S hours, but yesterday morn

that he was in the vicinity of the
farm of Mrs. Ellen Conkle seven
miles north of here.

lengthy illness of a kidney all

been state superintendent for IL
years, were held yesterday after

If the appointment is made

are of the opinion that it will be,
Erwin and Phillips both have, &C
cording to their friends, points in
common which would make them
suitable appointees for the posi-
ton of head of the state public
school system. First of all, either
would be pleasing to the rank and
file of the teaching forces. This
is shown by the fact that both of
these men have been elected by
the teachers themselves to head

IN COURTS ON
new DEAL FAIL.
AAA Sugar Program and
Cotton Processing
Tax Upheld

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)
Court approval was extended
yesterday to vital new deal legis-
lation.
The first court test of the legal
ity of one of the major phases of
the A.A.A. program-that dealing
with sugar-ended in a complete
victory for the department of
agriculture.
Associate Justice Jennings Bal
ley in District of Columbia
Supreme court dismissed the COM
plain:t of 81 Hawaiian sugar
planters who had assaulted the con-
stitutionality of the Costigan-
Jones sugar act and sought to re-
strain Secretary Henry A. Wal
lace from enforcing it in the terri
tory.
The existence of an emergency
which would warrant the estab-
lishment of a sugar plant, such as
that provided for by the Costigan-
Jones act, enacted on May A, 1884
was recognized by the court.
Witnesses for Hawaiians esti-
mated that heir potential yearly
losses, due to the quota restric-
tions, amounted to a. least 49,
100000, while department of
agriculture experts declared that
the sugar act stabilized he indus
try and prevented the price from
collapsing to nearly zero.
Representatives of the Hawai-
ian sugar planters association an
nounced that the case would be
appealed. ID"
COTTON PROCESSING
TAX is SUSTAINED
Federal Judge Elisha NJ. Brew
ster in an opinion handed down in
Boston has refused to declare the
agricultural adjustment act 'un-
constitutional for it's alleged lille
gal bestowal of taxing power upon
administrative officers.
William NJ. Butler of New Bed
ford, cotton manufacturer and
former U. S. senator, had asked
authorization to default payment
of $780, in cotton processing
taxes and floor taxes by the Hoos-
&C Mills Corporation, of which ne
is a receiver.
Judge Brewster said that while
the AAA seemed to come close to
the line in comforting the taxing
power upon administrative off
GERS when the constitution reserv-
ed this power for the legislative
branch of government, it would be
presumptuous for the court to
declare that the delegation of
authority was unlawful.
