Legislation providing Federal.
State cooperation in establishing
pensions for the aged, and possibly
some other forms of social relief,
may be presented the January
Congress along with a plan to set.
up unemployment insurance, Sec
rotary of Labor Frances Perkins
insisted today.
She told reporters that Presi.
dent Roosevelt'S address to mem.
bers of his National Conference
on Economic Security, of which
she is chairman, in which he urged
the presentation of jobless in
surance plan but questioned
whether the time is opportune for
other social reforms, does not
mean the President wants only
jobless insurance enacted early
in 1885.
Wants Plan Ready
The President singled out the
insurance bill to let the confer.
ence know he wants it to have
such a plan ready by January,
she indicated.
The conference members con.
tinued their discussions behind
closed doors today and were
understood to be considering the
various social proposals as well as
the insurance project.
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Re
lief Administrator, also member
of the conference, supported Miss
Perkins Interpretation of the
Presidents remarks by stating his
office and the conference are eX-
ploring every possible social re-
lief plan.
Mr.. Hopkins said that his own
interest at present was more in
the word security" than any
others. He explained that he
meant security on a much broader
front that merely applied to jobs.
Decent Homes
He mentioned the term should
include decent homes, adding that
CIle program Dy WHICH upwards Oh

habilitated, covered one phase of

A significant reference was to

vate employment"
To date, he admitted, all forms
of unemployment insurance pro-
posed have been, in their final
effect, compulsory unemploy-
ment insurance" however worded,
or whether by legislation or other
wise.
Mr.. Hopkins spent most of the
summer in Europe, studying what
other nations have developed in
meeting social problems. He re-
turned satisfied that the United
States has exceeded these nations
in it's care for its own unemployed.

Hollywood's gossips today were
trying once again to pry behind
the veil of secrecy which always

tain if the Swedish star had
actually barked upon a
romance with George Brent.
Brent, who played the part OF
CARLOS lover in a picture which
was previewed here today, is re-
ported to have made several trips
to a desert resort where the star
is resting since completion OF her
studio work.
At the studio where the picture
was produced it was said the
couple had been "seen together a
great DEAL" while filming was in
progress, and we're very friendly"
Brent could not be reached for
a statement and, as is always the
case, Carlo was unavailable.
Brent was said to fly to CARLOS
desert retreat almost daily.

'F|END KILLER
HELD SLAYER
Of CHILD
Dorothy DisteIhurSt's Body
Shows That Soaring Acid
Was Used in Murder

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 16
Q.N.S0-A "fiend killer" who
burned away the face and eyes
Of little Dorothy Ann Distelhurst
with soaring acid was made the
object of a relentless hunt by
State authorities here today, after
coroner's physician reported
that powerful chemical had
been used on the girls body.
DR.. Herman Spitz, the physi-
clan, said however that this had
probably been done to destroy
Identification, and refuted the
theory that Dorothy Ann had been
buried alivL. The child was killed
by a heavy blow on the head, he
declared, and the body was prob
ably kept in a corrugated card
board box for several weeks before
burial.
Burial Today
Funeral services for the little
girl, who was supposedly kidnapped
for ransom, will be held from the
Belmont Methodist Church at 2:30
this afternoon. After burial serv-
ices in Woodlawn Cemetery, Dis
trict Attorney j. Carlton Loser
expects to talk with A. E. Distel-
hurst, her father.
The latter had gone to New
York in an effort to contact the
child's supposed kidnapers when
her body was found buried in a
shallow grave on the grounds of
the Davidson County tuberculosis
Hospital.
A threat to burn out Dorothy
AIMS eyes unless $175,000 were
paid was received on a postcard
mailed to the Distelhurst family
from Augusta, Ca, September rs.
In several subsequent notes mailed
to her relatives, this amount was
considerably reduced.
The Federal authorities swung
into action with State officials
today. B. F. Fitzsimmons, of the
Department of Justice, has been
assigned to the case, it was an
nounced by w. A. Rorer, district
chief. He will work primarily on
the extortion notes. But will also
give aid in any way possible,
Rorer declared.
Marks on Foot
In an official statement last
night, DR.. Spitz discounted Losers
theory that the girl was alive
when buried.
Marks on her left foot showed
the imprint Of a cardboard box,
he added. The marks would not
have been permanent unless they
had been made after death, he
added.
The doctors statement regarding
use of acid was based on the fact
that flesh was absent from the
girls chest, neck and face, while
other parts of the body were in
tact

BY order of the Kingfish the
presses were stopped and all
copies of the student daily de-

copy of the publication just be-
fore the Senate adjourned after
passing, his four-power-annexing
bills. He snorted:
"This is my university and
I'll throw anybody out who ut
tiers a word against me-"
The letter had been written by
D. L. Norman, a student. It took
Senator Long to task and praised
Mickal for refusing to fall in with

dictator to seat him in the State
Senate.

SUCCESS SEEN
FOR DRIVE
BY NORRIS
Plan Would Split solid South
and Give Minority Parties
Better Chance, View
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
The Seventy-fourth Congress,
in the opinion of election reform
advocates, will submit to States a
constitutional amendment provid-
ing a direct vote for President.
This proposed historic reform
lacked only six votes of attaining
the necessary two-thirds majority
in the Senate in the last session.
and sentiment in the House adj
mittedly is favorable to it.
With the Democratic landslide
changing the complexion OF the
Senate, friends of Senator George
Norris (RD, of Nebraska, believe
that he will be able to muster
easily the necessary votes.
The proposed constitutional
amendment, backed by Senator
Norris and Representative Lea
Cd of California, was approved
in a letter submitted to the
House Rules Committee by Presi-
OS11I SLOOScNCAG.
Plan Outlined
Briefly the plan is:
Electoral college is abolished,
but electors are retained in the
States.
Each candidate for President
(through electors) shall be cred
tied in each State with the votes
actually cast for him. In each
State each presidential candidate
would receive a proportion of the
electoral vote equalling his per.
centage of the popular vote.
The popular vote of all States
would be listed and the proper
ton due each candidate listed
before the electoral vote is COM
piled. If two candidates re-
ceived the same number of
electoral votes. the one receiving
the most popular votes would be
declared elected.
While the plan calls for a
direct vote for President and Vice
President it preserves the electoral
votes-two for each senator and
one for each representative. Thus
the small States would retain two
electoral votes because they have
two senators, regardless Of
population.
Backers of this proportional
plan hold that such a COM
promise with the direct election
Nan is necessary to obtain rati-
fication of a constitutional
amendment by small States.
Alternative Plan
While the amendment was
chosen as the vehicle for cleo
toral reform in the last Con-
gress, there is a possibility that
a drive may be made for a di-
rect, popular election of Presi-
dent regardless of State lines.
The Norris.Lea amendment
was fought by Republicans on
the ground that it would aid
Democrats. Under normal condi-
lions, Republicans contended,
Democrats would obtain a big
minority electoral vote in the
North, while the Republicans
would gain little in the South.
The system would virtually
break the solid South" In most
Southern States Republicans have
cast enough votes to win at least
one of the electoral votes on the
proportional system.
The plan also would give the
Socialists, Communists and other
minority parties a chance to win
electoral votes for President.
