er Byrnes said to5::y they expect to
have the independent Offices appro-
priation bill, carrying Federal pay
restoration and veterans benefits,
acted upon In the House without un-
due delay.

Figures Being Prepared.
In the meantime, although no spe-
cific day has been set for calling q
meeting Of the Appropriations Com

committee probably will meet Thurs
day. In the interim the Appropria-
tions Committee Is having studies
made and figures prepared by the
Budget Bureau, Veterans Administra-
ton, General Accounting ONCE and
other agencies to show the effect OF
the Senate amendments Some of this
data already has been received by
Buchanan and Chairman Woodrum of
the subcommittee which drafted the
independent offices bill
The situation in regard to Federal
pay restoration and liberalized ben
efits for veterans appeared much more
encouraging today as a result Of a
number Of conferences among various
groups in the House, including dis
cussions between Republican and
Democratic leaders.
Restorations Assured.
Those directly in charge Of this leg
islation expressed confidence the Sit
uation will soon be cleaned up on the
Senate amendments Of most partic-
ular concern, so an agreement can
shortly be reached between the Sen
ate and the House.
Continued assurance was given that
Government employees may expect at
least the two per cent restorations
of pay, one as of February and an
other starting July !. 1t Is also gen.

ALICE WYNEK00P

Trial Resumed ~ Minutes
After Collapse During

CHICAGO, March 3.-After "a.
minute recess, caused by the collapse
Of DR.. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, on
trial for the alleged Staying Of her
daughter -in-law Rheta, the woman
physician was wheeled back into the
court room for resumption Of the trial.
DR.. Wynekoop had to be lifted back
to the witness stand. She was death-
ly pale. Her long, emaciated fingers
were braided and her hands trembled.
She swallowed frequently as she
fought to regain her composure.
Prosecutor Charles S. Dougherty was
taking her question by question
through statement made by her after
the inquest, in which she retold her
confession" when she tainted.
Suddenly DR.. Wynekoop turned to
Judge Harry B. Miller and called to
him in a low voice He did not hear
her Immediately. and Defense Attor-
ney w. w. Smith jumped to his feet,
pointing to the collapsing woman.
Jury Removed.
The Judge ordered the jury re-
moved. As they filed out DR.. Wyne-
koop leaned over to one side, gasping
for breath.
After a consultation between Judge
Miller and counsel for both sides. the
wheel chair was brought in and DR..
Wynekoop was wheeled from the
court room
A bailiff rushed forward with q
pillow as she collapsed and placed 1t
under DR.. Wynekoop's head. As she
lay there, her eyes closed and her
face an ashen gray, Judge Miller
shouted an order for the windows to
be opened and for the crowd to keep
its seats.
Denial Vigorous.
Caught in what her lawyers said
was q maze of circumstantial evi.
dence the elderly physician. weak, but
still determined. put her denial into
the criminal court record yesterday.

der fans"

The way Representative James
Wadsworth has been. going around
to meetings in New York State, shak-
ing hands with every one and making
speeches, has led to rather general
belief on the inside that he will make
an important political announcement
shortly.
His friends believe he will announce
his candidacy for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination.
The lobbying on the stock exchange
bill is very heavy, but it seems to be
about equally divided between Wall

Eats Cake and Keeps II.
At least one Democratic Congress-
man has figured out neat way OF
eating his political cake and having
it, too.
This Is the first time that trick has
ever been accomplished.
He wanted to attack the admins
tration on a few points of interest in
his home district, yet he did not want
to antagonize Speaker Rainey and the
administration leaders.
So he slipped up to Rainey and the
leaders, saying in effect: II have
got to make a speech attacking the
administration policy on such and
such. but don't pay any attention
to it."

Banks Heavy Holders.

Treasury Secretary Mofgenthau's
private investigation into the identity
Of holders of silver stocks Is supposed
to show that two large New York
banks have about 100000 ounces.
With two private investors, they are
the four largest holders. The total
domestic stock Is about 250,000, 900
ounces
The investigation was not entirely
successful because many silver buyers
apparently operated through third
parties to conceal their identities.
Generally it showed the holdings are
rather widely distributed.
If any of the silver agitators are or
the list, their names are being guarded
carefully.
Under the eristing program Mr..
Roosevelt is buying only about
$4,000, 900 ounces OF silper year..

New Deal Shifts Quickly.
You have to speak fast to keep ur
with the New Deal.
Consider the case Of Dean Donham
of the Harvard Business School. He is
supposed to have received a letter from
Gen. johnson offering him, indirectly
the job of directing the N. r. A. plan
ming and research division. He failed
to answer 1t for a few days and then
wrote johnson letter saying he would
drop down to Washington for talk.
After he boarded the train en- route
to Washington the papers carried the
story that Leon Henderson had been
appointed to the job.
It seems johnson, not hearing from
Dean Donham Immediately, went
ahead and gave the job to some one
else.

welcomed Mrs. Pinchot and discussed
some Of her statements with her
Pennsylvania. Apparently Mrs. Pin
chot does not know that these are
not in the jurisdiction or control of
N. r. A. at all.
Mrs. Pinchot said defiance Of the
labor provisions in N. r. A. codes by
Ernest r. Weir, head Of the Ma
tional Steel Co., and similar instances
were encouraging the lesser fry to
chisel and cheat at will"
She also charged she had been pre-
vented from speaking about N. r. A.
in several Pennsylvania towns.
johnson said the Weirton case and
others like it "are the province Of
the National Labor Board. which is
wholly independent of N. R. A."
Since Mrs. Pinchot's charges the
Labor Board has referred the Weir
ton case to the Justice Department
for action on complaints that the
steel concern refused to allow its
employees to join unions of their
own choosing.
When she CMrs. Pinchot) held US
responsible for Pennsylvania towns
where labor meetings could not be
held" johnson said. II should have
liked to ask her who was Governor
of that State"
The administrator said the useful
criticism received at the sessions this
week did not exceed the l2-point
program he had proposed for N. r. A.
reform, but that wealth of detail
and information" had been received
which should prove useful.
I'VE have been deluged with the
suggestion that having had a field
day for critics." johnson said. I'VE
ought now to have a field day
for supporters coupled with the
assertion that we would deluge the
town. That suggestion overlooks our
purpose in holding these meetings.
This is not q popularity contest. It
is an effort to correct errors"
Reiterating confidence that N. r. A.
was succeeding. johnson defined its
i've principal pIODlcIIlS dS- 41lSu AAlSC
that price increases do not outrun
wage increases, prevention of indus
trial or labor control against the
public interest. compliance, insurance
of the statutory rights of labor and
maximum contribution by N. r "A.
to the solution of the purchasing
power and unemployment problems
The administrator had tilted several
times during the hearing with Robert
Minor, a Communist party official
Il enjoyed my colloquy with Mr..
Minor" he said. but of course that
criticism was political and designed
for the overthrow of our Government.
I do not mean that there was any
lack Of sincerity, but do mean that
the overthrow of Government is not
before N. r. A. for discussion"
After johnson concluded, Repre-
sentative Weideman, Democrat OF
Michigan, took the platform to deny
the charge he was connected with a
Detroit agency which spied on
workers.
Matthew Smith. head of a union OF
tool and die makers. had asserted pre-
viouSly that Weideman was connected
with the agency and that the organ
ization used the legislators name on a
letterhead offering the services OF
undercover men to spy on strikers and
union leaders.

they believed Kennedy had died Of

Home Breaking Charged.
Mrs Kennedy. the divorced wife, took
the stand to charge DR.. Dean with
breaking up her home" and to testi-
flying that she and her husband
were about to be remarked when he
died.
In rebuttal, the defense produced
numerous physicians. some of whom
had been consultants in Kennedy S
case. to testify that they did not be-
lieve he died of poisoning, but that
his symptoms indicated some kidney
ailment. These physicians were also
used to testify that the poison shown
in the post-mortem might have been
absorbed into the system by constant
sterilization Of the hands.
DR.. Dean provided the climax for
her trial with her direct denial that
she had poisoned Kennedy or that
she had even seen him for two days
prior to the night he became violently
Ill. She likewise denied having come
between the Kennedys and put into
the record 40 letters received from

ton Of marrying Maull prior to Ken

The BrOken-DOWn NRA
Why Try to Patch It Up?

The NRA, it seems, is to be reformed"
With the retirement of General Johnson from the po
Htica spotlight to outer darkness many changes are
promised in the recovery administration.
What they will be-if any-is uncertain as yet.
Most Americans we think would consider any change
In the NRA an improvement and its total abolition the
greatest improvement of all.
Then business could get back it's feet legitimate in
stead of phony jobs could be created and genuine
perity be restored.
For the plain facts that since July, 1885, when the
NRA was launched PRODUCTION has fallen off sharply
There have been seasonal pckups it is true but
the highest of these has not reached the July 193 peak
In other words genuine recovery under way when
NRA began to function, and NRA has blocked it.
That is not the picture the NRA artists have painted
for the country, but it is the simple truth.
Even NRA's bitterest critics will admit that it had
some desirable social features, such minimum wages
and the ending of child labor.
These can be, and should be- preserved by law
But it time for the country to realize that
RECOVERY instrument the experiment has been woe
full failure-or worse.
Why not therefore, scrap it entirely instead of trying
to patch it up?
The old machine won't run, and is clutterng up the
track.
Let's it wheeled off to the dump heap and the way
cleared for these United States of America to catch up
with the rest of the world
