MACON FIGHTS
WIND AND FOG

LOS ANGELES, Feb. g. U.P)-
The United States navy rs giant dir
igible Macon defied wind and fog
off the Southern California coast
early today in a flight designed to
test her maneuverability as a
landing fieldo for heavier than
air craft.
Low fogs obscured the airship
from view as she passed over Los
Angeles early last night, proceeded
past San Pedro and out to sea.
A stiff wind buffeted her path
but judged by the steady purr of
her engines, the airship was max
ing good progress. The dirigible
was scheduled to moor at Camp
Kearney, near San Diego, this af-
ternoon, after staging additional
tests in which airplanes take off
from her underSide.
The Macon is slated to remain at
Camp Kearney until tomorrow or
Sunday before returning to Sunny
vale, according to Commander AL

despite local reports nurses no am
bition to return to the White House
or to oppose his enemy of political
days, Hiram Johnson, for selection
to the U. S. senate from California.
AS those who have encountered
him on his walks testify, he is
cheerful and sometimes waggish.
His main interests are Stanford
university. where he is a trustee
and the Hoover war library, a COL
lection of war documents mostly
from overseas.
To his friends he expresses him
self at length on the new deal" of
his successor But to reporters he
maintains that same aloof silence
on political questions that has
marked him in retirement.
The same change, friends say

with social and household duties in
her magnificent home; to Herbert
Hoover, Jr., happily teaching at

ATTACK CWA
National Committee Charges
Organization Formed To Hide
Recovery Failure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. UP)-A
Republican charge was made today
that the CWA was used by Demo-
cratic spoilsmen" to build a politi-
cal machine as congress hastened
completion of the $950,OO0, 900 ap-
preparation bill for the CWA and
other relief projects.
The relief bill was passed last
night by the senate and only ac-
ton by the house and senate con-
fereeS is necessary to make the
money available by Saturday, when
present funds for this work will be
depleted.
Administrator Hopkins said the
CWA had sufficient funds to meet
tomorrow's payrolls. He expressed
confidence the new fund would be
made available so that no workers
would have to be laid off next week.
The Republican charge was one
of many accusations against the
conduct of the CWA. 1t was con-
tained in a 20 page printed pamph-
let issued by the Republican nation
al committee under the title "CWA
Scandals! What Could You EX-
pect?"
The Republican attack declared
the CWA was an overnight set-up
thrown together by a panicky ad-
miniStration to cover up and divert
public attention from the utter fail
ure of its recovery program to re-
lieve unemployment and increase
mass purchasing power
The pamphlet charged that the
CWA was crowded with graft and
corruption, that it was acting as a
retarding force on recovery and
should be abolished as quickly as
possible.
While the Republican national
committee was making its charges a
small group of Republicans in the
senate was fighting vainly to have
the $950,005,000 appropriation in
creased to $2,5OOOOO,O0O SO that the
CWA could be continued.
Senators Cutting and LaFolette
were the only two Republicans vot-
ing for the ,5OO,OOO,OOO proposal.
They were joined by Shipstead, Far
mer-Labor Mimi, and from the
Democratic side Black, Bone, Costi-
gan, Dill, Long, McCarran and
Wheeler. The vote was 81 to 10.
LaFcllette offered another amend
ment shaving the $2.5O0,0O0,0OO fig
ure to $1,5O0,O00,OOO This was de-
feated, SO to IA.
The senate approved an amend
ment by Senator McCarran, Dem.
New, providing that all state CWA
directors must be appointed by the
President and approved by the SEN
ate.

EIGHT NEGRO
S[AYERS DIE
Men Show Great Courage In
Executions AT Alabama And
Texas Prisons.

KILBY PRISON, Montgomery
Ala, Feb. 8. U.P)-Fortified by II
hours of continuous hymn singing
broken only once for a fried chick
en- dinner, five Negroes walked
calmly to their deaths early today
so calmly, they might have been
going to picnic.
Their approach to death was in
sharp contrast with the demeanor
of official witnesses, who were pale
and trembling.
The procession of death began
when Bennie Foster, 81, wearing the
white shirt and white trousers the
state of Alabama provides its con-
demned men, stepped into the
chamber and sat in the electric
chair.
"Gen'num," he said, smiling. IAN
innocent man going to glory"
Two shocks and Foster was dead
John Thompson, 38, came in, light
footed and sure of himself. He too
smiled Two shocks were enough for
him.
Next came Hardie White, 80. In
matter of fact voice he addressed
the assemblage from the lethal
chair. It didn't take much electri-
city to, kill him.
Ernest Waller, 81, was number
four. Earlier in the day he had
freely admitted his guilt, the only
one of the five to do so. He had
killed his girl, Daisy Montgomery
He thought the state of Alabama
was wrong in his case.
"Ah shouldn't be kilt, Cap'n," he
told keeper. Dat oman, she amt
wo'th hit"
Solomon Roper, "a, was last.
You got anything to say, boy,
asked the prison official, strappine
him to the chair.
Nah sub. Goodbye, Cap'n."

OHlttu fTcSS Stdll Correspondents
ST. PAUL, Feb. 9. U.P)-Guided
by information that Edward G. Bre-
mer, bank president, obtained dur
ing his three weeks captivity, fed
eral agents and police today sought
a band of half a dozen kidnapers
who were paid 100000 ransom for
his release.
BremerS observations were given
federal department of justice agents
in great detail. He revealed that
during his long captivity he became
quite friendly with the kidnapers." !"
/ Federal officials threw more than
a score of sleuths into the search,
moving with utmost secrecy.
Inspector Charles Tierney of the
st. Paul police headed the opera
tions of his special anti kidnapping
squadron. Tierney admitted that he
sought AlviS Karpis and Fred Bar
ker, Missouri desperadoes, for ques-
tioning in the case.
Bremen rested at his home, recov-
ering from highly nervous condi-
ton, bordering on hysteria. An or
deal of % days in the hands of kid
napers who had beat him into sub
mission when he was first seized,
was climaxed by night and day OF
intensive questioning by federal
agents and police.
Beaten Into Submission
The only information regarding
! Bremer's ordeal was made public
, through the United Press by DR.. H.
T. Nippert, aged Bremen family ply
Sician.
Nippert revealed, after treating
Bremen upon his return, that the
young banker had been beaten into
submission by two kidnapers who
entered his automobile last Janu-
ary II when he stopped for traf-
fic signal.
Although dazed, Bremen did not
lose consciousness at any time Nip
pert revealed. The StalWart victim
was carried from his own automo-
bile to the abductors' car and blind
folded.
After this preliminary rough
handling, Bremer was not harmed,
Nippert said. He quoted Bremen as
saying:
"I got to be rather sociable with
them. They fed me well and since
there was nothing else to do, 1 got
