JURY WILL Try
CRASH CASE

Trial of James w. Taylor, 35,
of Chevy Chase, Nd, on a charge
of driving while drunk will be
held before a Police Court jury
April 20. He pleaded not guilty
today.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the drivers
involved in the crashes Thursday
night on the Bladensburg Road
near Earl Place, which cost two
lives. Miss Babe Pardee, 35, a
nurse, and Daniel j. Eagan, %,
800 block K st. N. E., were killed.
A few minutes after Miss
Pardee and Eagan had been
killed, an automobile driven by
Mr.. Taylor plowed into two other
cars, scattering spectators, and
into an automobile which had
been involved in the original and
fatal crash.
Mr.. Taylor is at liberty on $500
bond and his attorney, Charles E.
Ford. has arranged with DR.. A.
Magruder Macdonald, coroner, to
have his client present to testify
when an inquest into the two
deaths is held.
Meanwhile, seven persons are
in hospitals with injuries re-
ceived in the two crashes. All
are seriously injured, but physi-
clans expect them ultimately to
recover.

DENIES
GOING ON PARTY.
WITH RHEEM
Does Not Know jailed Broker,
Muth Says; Rep. Shoe
maker RapS ProberS

George E. Muth, a patent attor
ney with offices in the National
Press Building, today denied that
he had ever attended a party with
Edmund Rheem, jailed broker, or
that he even knows Rheem.
Mr.. Muth's testimony was given
before the penal committee Of the
Board Of Public Welfare which is
investigating conditions in Lorton
Reformatory where Rheem is con
fined.
Mr.. Muth said that he had never
even seen Rheem and that he had
never made a statement to friends
that he had attended a party at
which another guest was the
Jailed broker.
The Times in the late editions
yesterday published a statement
about this alleged party. This
was incorrect.
Mystery Call Blamed
Mr.. Muth demanded to know
why he had been summoned to
testify and was informed by Rep
resentative Francis H. Shoemaker
that some unidentified person
had telephoned to Mr.. Shoe
makers secretary that Mr.. Muth
could give information concern
ing such a party.
Mr.. Shoemaker said he did not
know the name of the informant
and after the hearing check
of his office failed to reveal any
memorandum on the call which
would give a clue to the mys-
terious caller.
Brutality Charged
The Minnesota Representative
hurled sensational charges when
he again took the stand at the
hearing today, asserting that the
murder of a guard in Leaven-
worth Prison was directly due to
brutality in the District Jail,
which made a "raving maniac"
out of the slayer.
Carl Panzram, the slayer, who
later was hanged, was chained to
the torture post" Mr.. Shoemaker
said. Police here asserted that
Panzram was the worst crimi-
nap' ever imprisoned in the Dis
trict Jail.
He then read letter from a
former prisoner at Lorton Re-
formatory, who subsequently was
transferred to the Federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta. In this letter
it was charged that the prisoner,
Eramus Cecil Jenkins, was beaten
severely at Lorton.
Mr.. Shoemaker accused the in
vestigating committee of conduct
ing a defense investigation" and
said it's members were lax in inter
rogation of witnesses.

NEAR ST. PAUL

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March
II Q.N.SD.|ohn Dillinger, es-
capped Indiana convict, was re-
ported seen driving into Mime
apolis from St. Paul today.
Heavily armed police cars were
patrolling the streets to apprehend
the desperate. Minneapolis and
st. Paul police have ordered all
suspicious persons or those with
known criminal records brought
in for questioning.
The hunt was spurred with the
death of Under-sheriff Chares A.
Cavanaugh, of Port Huron, who
died last night of wounds Sut-
fered in yesterdays gun battle
with Herbert Youngblood, Negro
pal of Dillinger.
Youngblood was fatally wounded
after he shot down three officers
and a bystander.
Officials in charge of the search
expressed the opinion Dillin'
ger, in all probability, fled the
Michigan scene after the first
alarm Of the shooting affray
brought a mobilization of State
and county police there.
Two others, Sheriff William van
Antwerp and Under Sheriff How

when Youngblood, who fled the

quoted statistics showing that
General Motors alone now has
1923 men employed. This rep
resents an increase from 59,571
last october.
The labor representatives rep
resented their demands as just
and condemned "the attitude
assumed by executives in the
automobile industry"
Recognize Responsibility
Their statement declared:
1--WE appreciate thoroughly
our responsibility in this great
crisis but we must and will
remain loyal to the interests
of the thousands of exploited
men and women of this great
industrial autOcracy. We there
fore sOlemnly direct our people
to proceed as only free men
have proceeded in the past
when their rights have been
denied them"
Mr.. Knudsen declared the EN-
ployers were abiding by the pro
visions of the automobile code
and that there were only zoe
reported cases of discrimination
among 10000 employees of Gen
eral Motors.
General johnson Warned
General Johnson has been as
sured by labor leaders that the
Detroit workmen will walk Out
next Wednesday unless their de-
mands are met.
It is with this warning in mind
that General Johnson and his
labor adviser, Edward McGrady
Assistant Secretary of Labor, will
confer with the executive COM
mittee Of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce in New
York.
The workers demand that the
manufacturers agree to abide BY
the collective bargaining provi
sions of the national recovery act
and also that they agree to recog.
nize the chosen representatives o1
the workers, elected to carry or
bargaining negotiations.

ENDORSES
NJ 'LEOD BANK
RELIEF BILL
IndustriaIist Flags Delay
to Business Recovery Under
Ineffective RFC Laws

Further supporters Of the Nc.
Leod bank relief bill appeared to-
day with issuance of an indorse-
ment. of the measure by the COM
mittee for the nation.
The committee is an important
national organization composed Of
leading industrialists who main
tain headquarters in New York
for formulating and furthering
monetary legislation. It includes
such prominent members as James
H. Rand and Frank A. Vanderlip,
nationally known industrialiSt
and financier, respectively.
Rand Heads Group
Mr.. Rand is chairman of the
organization. which lends added
weight to his statement today on
behalf of the bill:
"The program being followed
through by the Deposit LiQuida-
ton Board is not proving as ef-
fective as even the AdminiStra-
tiOn hoped.
"a billion dollars was avail
able last October for prompt re-
lief of depositOrs in closed
banks, but under the restrictions
of the legislation under which
the RFC is acting, it has been
possible to authorize loans Of
only S37O,OOO,OOO and Of that
amount to diSburSe to bank de-
positors only S196,OOO,OOO.
"NearIy 1000 State and ma
tionaI banks in the hands Of
receivers have not yet applied
for loans, some because they be-
lieve their remaining assets will
not be given consideration by
the RFC and some because de-
pOsitors have not taken the
initiative.
RESULTS SLOW
"Our committee sent out a
questionnaire in December in
an effort to spur local action
on these loan applications. Still
the results are discOuraging.
Business men recognize that de-
lay in releasing frozen deposits
is delaying recovery.
"In some instances bank as
sets are being slaughtered by
forced liquidation. If Congress
can find means of bringing re-
lief to depOSitOrs it should, in
our opinion, do SO. Some work.
able plan should be evolved out
of the hearings on the pending
bill"

Captain Rickenbacker declared:

He added, however, that some

wise to make an attempt to
give the self governing code

an opportunity to act in its
proper function to try to settle
the trOubIe-nOt only as to
the two companies and not
only as to this occasion, but
as to all companies and other
occasions that might arise.
CODE AUTHORITY TO MEET
"That code authority was
not assembled, but after sew
eral telephone conversations
with individual members, it
seemed very probable proposals
suggested by the labor board
and the NRA as fair to all
might be agreed to by both
sides. To make these proposals
definite and official for the
whole industry the executive
committee of the code authOri-
ty with power to act will meet
in New York on Monday.

Automobile manufacturers were
taking the strike threat seriously
and are awaiting the results Of a
meeting of the executive commit
tee of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce to be held
in New York on Monday.
The members of the committee,
Walter P. Chrysler, Alfred P.
Sloan, jr., and ,Alvan Macauley
have been presented with a plan
by johnson for terminating the
present strike threat as well as the
of future labor troubles.
Call Demands Law Enforcement
The strike call issued by Will
liam Collins, organizer for the A.
F. of L., in the Detroit area, is
predicated on the action Of the
manufacturers representatives. It
reads:
''It is the recommendation of
the representatives of the Auto
mobile Workers Union Of Amer.
lea affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor attending
hearings of the National Labor
Board, where the automobile
manufacturers defied the Ad-
miniStratiOn of the National Re
covery Act, that work shall be
suspended next Wednesday at 9
a. M, and the suspension shall
be continued until such q time
as the Government shall en-
force the law"
In relaying their recommends
tion to the Detroit auto workers,
the so labor representatives de-
clared they would not postpone
action of the strike beyond the
time set in the announcement.
Mr.. Collins, before starting for
Detroit, said:
"ThiS is the peak season in
the autOmOtive industry. The
time for us to win our demands
is now. There is no use calling
a strike after the rush season is
over"
Five Cities Are Involved
Mr.. Collins said the strike
would include auto plants at
Detroit, Flint, Pontiac, Cleveland
and st. Louis. He said he had
been assured the $4,000 members
of the Mechanics Educational
Society, under the direction Of
Matthew Smith, would also an
Swer the call. This is not the
peak season for these workers,
but a majority of them are now
at work owing to the abnormal
rush of production in the indus
try.

THE USEFUL ONION

Everybody knows that boiled
onions are splendid for breaking UP
heavy cold, and also act as a slim
ulating nerve tonic, but not every
body profits by this knowledge.
Water in which onions have been
boiled is a wonderful skin purifier,
and whitens hansd that are washed
in it. In any case "onion water"
should never be thrown away, as 1t
makes splendid stock for soups.
The onion has household uses as
well. If three or four bruised onions
are boiled in little water, the
strained liquid is cleaner of gilt
picture frames. Apply with soft
brush, and polish with a clean buster.
Scorch marks caused by too hot an
iron can be removed with fairly wet
paste made from boiled onion juice
and fuller's earth. Leave on the
scorch for an hour or two, and then
wash off-first in cold and then i'll
warm water.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring more natural movement with
out any discomfort at the time, or
after.
The dose of liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs of the in
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you so thirsty. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the
average persons constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use.
