New York, Nov. 20.-(P)-Jouett
Shouse, president Of the American Lii
berty League, Tuesday denounced
what he called RECOMMENDATION" un-
dertaken by the New Deal.
Striking back at President Roose-
velt'S hint that the league places
property rights above human rights,
he quoted with approval newspaper
editorial saying nothing could be
"sillier" than to suppose personal and
property rights can conflict.
The leagues chief also expressed
regret" at the fact the next con-
gress will be composed Of overwhelm-
ing majorities and very small min
critics.
Balance Of Power Best
Whether 1t be In nation, state Or
CITY," he said in an address prepared
for delivery to the Bond club, "the
best government Is achieved when the
balance OF power between the two
parties Is as nearly as possible equal.
It Is undesirable when the pendulum
swings too far in either direction"
Although Shouse emphasized he was
giving only his personal opinions, his
address was regarded as highly sig
nificant as pointing the future course
Of this organization formed by such
men rs Alfred E. Smith, James w.
Wadsworth, John w. Davis and Irenee
du Pont to assess trends IN govern
ment and fight those It brands Is
harmful.
Declaring again that the league Is
not partisan nor Observation-Disclosures
and that 1T will hope to work with
the administration toward detectives
beneficial to the country" shouse
said:
1T will not fail to uphold funda-
mental Americanism against subver-
sive theories and alien doctrines"
Shouse's opinions Of NRA and
AAA, though UNDERSIGNED as only his
views, indicated for the first time the
possible standpoints OF the league.
Declaring that lin many regards
NRA has served q useful purpose and
that he would not "ruthlessly sacrifice
everything" connected with it, he
said:
Price-Fixing Detrimental
THAT the NRA has INDUCED in
unwarranted excuses Of attempted
regulation there can be no doubt.
That its policy Of price-fixing is de-
trimental to the best interests Of the
great mass Of the people IS my firm
belief. That its attempt to write
codes for every little business of the
country was absurd and ridiculous
there Is small question
OF the AAA. shouse said:
Il am not one Of those who is UNI
conscious Of. or unsympathetic with
the agricultural problem. J recognize
the ills with which agriculture has
been afflicted. I recognize the desir-
ability Of restoring the buying power
Of farmers. I recognize the necessity
to attempt to achieve q price for farm
products that will justify their pro-
duction.
THE farm board experiments Of the
Hoover administration did not sue
coed. I am unable to see that the
RECOMMENDATION Of production under
taken by the present administration
will succeed. Nor is 1t either justifi-
table or ultimately beneficial. More
over, In the experimentation that has
been undertaken in this connection
there is grave challenge to consti-
tutional liberty"

N Richmond. Va, Nov. 20.-(R-
Phillip Jones, 25-year old negro, was
held under heavy guard In the county
Jail Tuesday, after authorities an
Nnounced he had confessed to tho
slaying Of two young Clifton Forge
girls, Alice and Ellen Hill.
81 Henrico county officials said Jones
swiu be held here for several days un-
It'll feeling In Clifton Forge subsidies
sufficiently to permit his return
there to face q charge Of murder.
Sheriff T. Wilson Seay said that in
4 his confession Jones absolved Of all
eguilt three other negroes arrested with
him-ais wife, Chester Smith and
John Pryor.
Racial feeling ran high In Clifton
Forge but it subsidized somewhat after
it was learned that Jones had been
brought here for safekeeping. At the
peak Of the excitement Monday night,
the tenant home Of Jones and his
wife was burned to the ground.
Sheriff Seay said Jones steadfastly
denied he had attacked the elder Of
the girls, Ellen, Is. A coroner,s re.
port said she had been criminally
attacked.
The sheriff said that In his con-
fession Jones said he had known the
two girls about six months. Sun
cay afternoon, he was quoted . say
ing he had gone to Clifton Forge and
Smith, q taxi driver, had brought
him part of the way back home, leav-
ing him on the side Of the road near
hts home.
II could see the girls coming . long
way off. I hid behind . clump OF
bushes-I thought would scare
them. The devil got into me, I guess
The girls came along and I jumped
from behind the bushes. and scared
them.
Then hit the little girl over the
head with the gun-butt. She dropped
down; and Alice put her head down
and put her hands over her head, and
then I hit her, too. Both Of them
dropped on the ground and then hit
Alice again with the gun.
II don't know whether they were
dead or not when I left them. but !
knew they were going to die"

SUMMED UP
BY BOARD

From 1929 to 1881 total gross
income Of all corporations fell
from $160.6 billion to $107.5 bill
lion, and the proportion Of the
total that was accounted for by
corporations without net income"
rose from 1913 per cent to 51.6 per
cent, according to an analysis Of
corporation income tax data for
the years 1917 to 1881 issued yes
terday by the National Industrial
Conference Board.
The figures for 1892 are still In.
complete but the preliminary
tabulations indicate q continued
decline in both gross and net in
come.
From 1929 to 1881 the gross in
come Of all corporations in manu-
featuring industry fell from $72.1
billion to $44 billion and the pro-

The New York Stock Exchange,
puzzled by the question Of listing

Guilty is due to the fact the bonds

MARKETS
BIG WORRY To
WALL STREET
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, July IL QN.S0. q.
Wall Street is annoyed that the
market isn't taking to prosper
ity" better than it has. While
stocks have been suggesting a
broad rise in the last few days, it
Is obvious that they are feeling
their way and making sure the
ground won't be cut from under.
With Federal regulation, the
conditions are different now.
Failure Of the market to follow
the joyride in grains is bringing
some disappointment, but there's
still a good bit Of confidence
around.
Weakness in National Distillers
is causing considerable comment.
While extension of unlimited
liquor imports is blamed, the
principal selling is probably COM
ing from stockholders who aren't
taking to the plan of subscribing
to the new issue at the indicated
price of $25 share.
We hear Of one block that was
tossed out for this reason. There
Is some support in the stock now
from interests close to the com.
pany. Rumors that the Govern
ment may put tariff on silk i'm
ports is heard among those inter.
ested in the textile shares.
Shrewd observers believe the
next initiation impulse will come
from abroad.
They point to social unrest in
the gold bloc and other countries
on the continent and say it
demonstrates that deflation in
Europe has been carried to the
point where serious consequences
will result unless a change comes
quickly.
Significant in this connection
is the steady trickle Of buying in
stocks that has been coming from
London, Paris and Amsterdam.

U0BS AND PAY
l. DECLINE FOR
n. !. STATE

A decrease Of IL per cent in
employment, accompanied by q
drop Of 1.8 per cent in total pay
rolls occurred IN New York State
factories from the middle Of May
to the middle Of June, according
to q statement issued by Indus
trial Commissioner Elmer F. An
drews.
These losses lowered the State
Labor Departments index num-
bers, computed with the averages
for the three years 1925-1927 as
100, to 71.2 for employment and
S7.1 for pay rolls.
AS compared with a year ago,
employment and pay rolls during
the middle Of June we're 1877 per
cent and 26.6 per cent greater.
The report states that seasonal
decreases in factory employment
and pay rolls in the State are
customary in June, but that the
declines this month were some
what more pronounced than the
average for the 10 years 1915-1S33.
49, N. Y. City Decline
Employment and pay rolls in
New York city factories registered
decreases in June of 2.8 per cent
and "A per cent, respectively, as
compared with May. The de-
cline was general, with but two
industry groups. the chemicals.
oils and paints and food and to-
hacco, showing some gain.
A major part of the decline was
due to continued seasonal recess
,6ions in the apparel group. With
the exception of laundering and
cleaning, all industries compris-
ing this group were letting go
help.
Mixed movements were ap-
parent in the metal group, but a
large decline in shipbuilding and
repairing concerns and losses IN
some of the other metal indus
tries were more than sufficient to
offset the gains in the remaining
divisions Of the group.
Employment fell off in the
stone, clay and glass, wood
manufactures, sfurs. leather and
rubber goods, printing and paper
goods and textile industries.
