Ex-Magnate Languishes in old
StambouI Jail; Shuns All
Food, Health Impaired

ISTANBUL, April 3 (L.N.S.).
Apparently the last door to
freedom was slammed in the
face of Samuel insult today
when the Turkish Court of
Cessation denied him the
right of. appeal from the de-
cision of the tribunal which
ruled he must be held for the
United States authorities.
Turkeys decision to extradite
insult was based on the ruling
of the lower court. Refusal by
the Court of Cessation to enter
tain an appeal indicates Turkey
definitely has decided it has the
legal right to detain insult for
the United States officers and
is determined to turn him over
to officials of the country from
which he fled when his vast
utilities empire collapsed.
May Mean a Wait
Insults only course now, un-
less he or his attorneys are able
to produce some surprise move,
is to wait in the jail in old Stam-
boul until qualified officer of
the United States takes him in
charge and starts him on the
long journey back to Chicago.
How long this will be depends
upon the dispatch with which
the American authorities place
in the hands of Turkish officials
the documents necessary to COM
plete the extradition proceedings.
Meantime, at the end of a
trail that led from power and
affluence as head of a Mid
Western utilities kingdom to ar.
rest in this ancient city, halt
way around the world from the
scene of his financial and social
triumphs, insult sat, disconsolate
and alone, in a bare prison cell.
Incarcerated Alone
No friends have come forward
here to aid or comfort him. Even
foreign newspaper men who might
help him while away the hours by
chatting of happier times ano
scenes are denied access to him
He is held incommunicado, with
only Turkish prison guards as his
companions.
There were reports today that
insult had been taken to a hos
pita1, but they are not true. He
still is confined in the house o1
detention in old Stamboul, where
he was taken when he was ar
rested yesterday at his hotel.

WITNESSES RAP
WAGNER BILL
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The Wagner Bill. setting up a
permanent National Labor Board
with broad powers to settle indus
trial disputes, was assailed at Sen
ate hearings today by DR.. Wallace
B. Donham, dean of the Harvard
Business School at Cambridge,
Mass.
DR.. Donham declared the bill
would increase labor racketeer-
ing, bootlegging, and corruption
and "stop the flow of private cap
ital into heavy industries.
The bill. he added, is not a re-
covery measure but, rather, might
tend to prevent recovery"
H. Van R. Chase, of the New
Orleans Association of Commerce
and Jack Calvin, representing the
Iowa Manufacturers Association
opposed the bill on the ground
that it would widen the gap be-
tween labor and capital.
Philip M. Morgan, Massa'
chusetts steel products manufac
turer, said:
"The practical results will be
to widen the breach between
labor and employers, and cause
widespread strikes"
DR.. Donham explained that he
is not hostile toward unionization
and collective bargaining. He
urged adoption of the vertical
form of union. in which all
workers within one plant would
be knitted into a single labor
organization.

TURK COURT TURNS DOWN INSULL APPEAL
Firm Docks
Men Serving
On Juries

Scathing rebuke was dealt by
Justice James M. Proctor today
in District Supreme Court to tine
Thomas Somerville Company,
plumbing supply house, for its
policy of refusing to pay em-
ployes for time lost by serving
on juries.
The incident started when
Norman L. GlaSScock, summoned
with scores of others for April
jury duty, asked the court to
excuse him and rendered a letter
from the plumbing supply house
stating the company's policy OF
declining to pay employees If
they serve on juries or are off
on account of sickness or other
causes"
Justice Proctor dispatched a
deputy marshal, who brought
A. J. Somerville, president of
the company, to court. Mr.
Somerville admitted he wrote the
letter. Justice Proctor stated:
"This is the way you treat
your employees, but your letter
head prominently displays the
Blue Eagle of the NRA. Do you
think this is the proper public
spirit?"
Mr.. Somerville replied it was
the policy of the company.
Justice Proctor responded:
"It also has been your policy
~ Took to the Government for

deming this practice as being in
