No TRACE Of
PRETTY BOY

YUMA, Ariz.. Feb. H. U.P)-Re-
ports that Charles "Pretty Boyo
Floyd, notorious midwestern des-
perado was in this section Of the
country were exploded late today
by Jack o Neil, lettuce worker, who
said he knew the man believed to
be Floyd.
O'Neil told Sheriff j. C Hunter,
the men travelling overland in a
sedan car, identified last night by
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Kearnes, as
Floyd and his henchmen were fel-
low workers in the lettuce fields of
Ell Centro, Calf, who had lost
their jobs. They were returning to
their homes in Kansas he said.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. ID. U,P)-Re-
ports that Charles pretty Boy
Floyd, notorious middlewestern out
law, and five confederates were in
this vicinity planning raids on Mex
ican border towns were discounted
early today as a local posse return
ed without finding any trace of the
gang.
Deputy Sheriff Boyd Moran re-
connoitered along the border with
several other officers but found no
evidence to support information by
Arizona authorities that Floyd was
in the vicinity.
Moran was informed that the des-
perado was bound for Aqua Calien-
te. Guards at that border resort
were strengthened but a night long
vigil was uneventful.
Floyd has been reported in Sou
thern California several times in the
past six months but the reports
were never authenticated.
A report brought to police head
quarters early this morning that
Floyd was seen eating breakfast in
a local restaurant today was not
given much credence by police.
The report which had been sent
to San Diego officials by Sheriff
Campbell was based on word re-
ceived from Yuma that Floyd had
been positively identified in Yuma
early yesterday morning. A watch
was kept yesterday for the car in
which the outlaw was said to have
been travelling but it failed to ma
terialize.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-If con-
gress fails today to act finally on
the $3.50, 100000 relief-CWA bill, all
workers on civil works projects, now
totaling approximately 1850, 900 will
drop their tools tomorrow, the Uni
ted Press learned on high authority.
The civil works program would
remain under indefinite suspension.
it was learned from administration
| officials, pending appropriation of
| additional funds.
| The bill has been tied up in con-
gress for several days, due princi-
pally to disagreement over a senate
amendment which would require
state directors of CWA to be ap-
pointed by the President and con-
firmed by the senate. After both
houses had passed the bill, the
house refused to accept this amend
ment.
President Roosevelt has asked
$3.50, 100000 to continue the CWA
program until May /. The balance.
$500, 100000 would be set aside to
carry on the government direct re-
lief activities.
The original $40OO00,000 civil
works fund, appropriated by the
Public Works Administration, was
exhausted en- February 10. Today
high authorities estimated that only
$12,000,000 of the $4,000 900 emer-
gency relief fund appropriated by
congress remained.
February Is had been set as the
time for conclusion of the civil
works program if no additional
funds were Forthcoming The Uni
ted Press was advised that the adj
| miniStration will hold TO its decision
| if congress fails to come Immediate
| ly to the assistance of the CWA.
If the relief bill receives final ac-
ton in the senate late today, it was
said, there will be no cessation OF
| civil works activities, although de-
mobilization plan, designed to bring
| the civil works program to close
, on May l, soon will become opera
tive.
Details of the rehabilitation pro-
gram have been compiled but 1t
will not be released by CWA Ad-
| ministrator Hopkins until congress
has acted, either favorably or ad-
versely on the administrations

NEW YORK, Feb IA. U.P)-
Postmaster General James A. Far
lev today told Col. Charles A.

certain Lindbergh would not fear
any injustice in cancellation of the

He says that the excuse is that

England and France both are

By RUTH SLATER

Jsanie did a couple of fiea-hops In front of the long hall mirror. Then she made a face at herself, laughed at the little red head who was being 90 silly, and went sing ing about her work.
 It was a grand morning. this first anniversary of their wedding day. Just a year ago this evening she and Jack had said the words that made them husband and wife, MT and Mrs John J. Emerson.
 She had always said she would know her future husband the min- ute she laid eyes on him. Crisp brown hair, she said he'd have, a strong mouth, and deep blue eyes that loved laughter. When she first saw Jack she knew at once that be was the man of her dreams. Every thing about him proclaimed him hers. And six months after the night they met they pledged their eternal vows before their proud relatives and friends.
 That seemed very long ago. yet the time had passed swiftly That, Jeanie reflected, was because they loved each other so very dearly, because they got along so well and had such perfect understanding. True, Jack had seemed tired and sort of preoccupied of late, but only because he was working so hard. It couldn't be anything else. Jeanie was sure of that. Jack told her he loved her more every day.
 Her pleasant reverie was inter- rupted by the telephones jangle.
 Hello, Jean, this is Paul"
 "Yes, Paul" She liked this good friend of Jacks.
 Listen, Jean, are you busy right now?"
 Just with my housework. What is it?"
 T must talk to you. May come
 Certainly. Paul. Come right up now"
 She greeted him with the special smile she kept for this handsome playwright. He had worked hard at his profession for years, and just now was gaining rapid rec ognition, and a reputation.
 flows the play coming?" she asked. as soon as they were seated.
 '1t's fairly thriving on a diet of my sudden industriousness.'
 Good. Jack and I can hardly wait until it's finished. We're so proud of you, Paul"
 "Yes. I know you are." He hesi- tated before continuing. Then: You two would do almost any, thing for me, wouldn't you, Jean?"
 "We certainly would," she read fly assured him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-26

Listen, Jean, it's this. There is something you can tell me. If you were the best friend of young married couple and you knew the husband wasn't playing fair. do you think the wife should be told? Would you tell herr"
 "You do get up the strangest situations for your plays. Paul. Let me see now. Um-m-m-m. Yes. Yes, believe I would tell her. For this reason. It might be that the girl is slipping in some way, get ting careless about her house or her clothes, or something of that sort. If she knows she can go quietly about remedying the situa- tion, and if they really are greatly attached to each other, she can win him back and he will never know
 that she was wise to his philander- ing"
 She thought he was agreeing | with her until she saw the quizzi- cal look on his face. His voics
 was husky when he spoke. This | isn't for the play, Jean. This is real. You've shown me the thing
 to do. It's you. Jean, you and
 Jack"
 She started to laugh, then caught the look of pain shadowing his eyes. Why, Paul Stanwood, are you trying to tell me-" she asked
 steadily, "that my Jack is inter
 ested in some one else ?'' "Yes. He hasn't been working
 evenings. Jean. He's been spend- | ing thm with '" Jeanie interrupted him. "Stop it. Paul" She arose and faced won't have you even intimating
 such thing"

 Then she dropped to the daveu-
 port, buried her face in a cushion
 and wept.
 Don't do that, Jean," Paul was
 beside her at once. Don't cry. It,a

 "You-your fault? How could
