D.C.MANJ JAILED
IN NOISE ROW

Tony Petrosena, 40, who, police
say, welded a heavy cane over the
head of a woman neighbor in the
1900 block of Thirty-Third st. N.
W.. yesterday, during a discussion
over noisy children in the neigh
borhood, was sent to jail for six
months in Police Court today on
one charge arising out Of the in
cident, and held under $4,000
bond for grand jury action on
another.
PetroSena, according to Mrs.
Fannie Birch, struck her over the
head with a heavy cane as they
discussed the neighborhood noise
problem, causing her to be taken
to Georgetown Hospital for treat
ment.
The cane, police said, was actu-
ally an iron reinforced umbrella
handle. On this charge PetroSena
was held for assault with a dan
gerous weapon until the grand
jury completes it's investigation.
The six months Jail sentence,
imposed by Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly, was brought by police who
found a large hunting knife in the
mans pocket at the time of his
arrest, and charged him with
carrying q concealed weapon.

M'CARL 0KAYS
AAA$25,OOO
PRINCESS MARIE MERCEDES

Reversing a previous decision,
it was revealed today that Comp
troller General John R. McCarl
has approved an allotment OF
$25, 900 to the Bureau of Home
Economics, Department of Agri-
culture, for conducting a study
of the use and consumption of
dairy products distributed through
relief channels to the unemployed.
The study is to be financed
from funds allotted under the
Jones-Connally Cattle Act, which
in amending the AAA authorized
appropriation of $200,000,00 to
allow Secretary Wallace control
of production in the dairy and
beef-cattle industries, and which
also authorized $50,000,000 he
may use in purchasing dairy and
beef products through the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation for
distribution among relief enrolleeS.
Headed by DR.. Louise Stanley,
the Bureau of Home Economics
is to cooperate with a surplus re-
moval program of the Agriculture
Department, in relation to which
AAA officials pointed out to Mr..
McCarl that they must have COM
plete information.

GERMANY PAYS
LEAGUE DEBT

GENEVA, Oct. IL. UN.S)
Germany today completely washed
her hands of all dealings with the
League of Nations when the Reich
paid a long standing debt Of s.
100000 gold francs ($1, $50, ,00O ,
leaving Germany free to deal with
Italy in any way Chancellor Hitler
and his ministers wish.
Germany will now be able to
leave the League on october 81,
when her two-year notice of with
drawal expires, without any
strings and under no obligations
to join in the sanctions that other
nations are now drawing tighter
around Italy.
Action of Germany threw a new
element of doubt into her future
stand as the Leagues war gen
eral staff" rushed new economic
and financial measures to add to
the arms embargo imposed yester-
day on Italy.

GN.S0.-The parents of pretty
Muriel Hall. 18-year-old deb, had
nothing but pity today for the
lovelorn poor boy who choked her
to death when she turned down
his offer of marriage.
However, Prosecutor Daniel j.

send him to the electric chair.
BraSSer was arrested in Monti-

confessed to killing the girl in
her fathers apartment here on
Tuesday night. He was brought
back to Rochester yesterday.

said he thought BraSser should
plead insanity. Hall declared:
"I'm sure he was momentarily
mad. / don't want revenge and
1 don't want him to 60 to the
electric chair. I'd be satisfied
If they send him to an asylum"
In his cell, young Brasser, who
worked in a grocery store to get
money to buy presents for the
rich young girl, seemed resigned
to his fate. He said:
II was mad. She shouldn't

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md, Oct.
12.-Incensed by reports that Is
Of the $50 houses to be built by
the Resettlement Administration
near Berwyn Heights would be
turned over to colored occupants,
the board Of town commissioners
today prepared a formal protest
to the Federal agency.
Charles Stein, chairman Of the
board, said he would lead a dele
CATION of board members to Re

quarters today to Iron out the
whole plan" He said he had not
been officially informed Of the
proposal to include colored resi-
dents, but wanted to nip it in
the bud" If such a plan was con-
templated.
Site of the village.to-be is q
9,000-acre tract of Government
owned land near Berwyn Heights.
Ground Broken
Protest by the town heads came
at the same time officials Of the
District government and the Fed
eral bureau were attending ground
breaking ceremonies at the cite.
Monday 1900 transientS from
Washington will begin excavating
and clearing the ground for the
village.
Mr.. Stein, in announcing the
town commissioners would protest
colored residents in the area, de-
clared:
"Berwyn Heights and its inn
mediate surroundings are peO-
pied largely by Federal employees,
and no cOlored persons live in
the town. The latter group live
q half-mile away in Lakeland"
Officials Of the Resettlement
Administration would not clarity
the report that colored persons
would be allowed to live in the
village. 1t was said that the
homes were principally for the
800 person that will be employed
at the Agriculture Departments
experimental farm near Beltsville,
and anyone else who wants to
rent them"
Transient Director David G.
Linden, when asked today for his
views on the new turn things
had taken in his bureau, said:
"I have every confidence
these men will prove themselves
capable and trustworthy work
men, as they have on the few
other occasions they have had
to prove their mettle."
For eight months last year
and the first part of this year,
he said, a transient camp
worked on a project at the
Government Research Center in
Beltsville. Their work was taken
over by a CCC contingent which
could not only supply the men
but also much-needed equipment.
The men today stood about in
small groups, discussing the
order which seems to settle the
great question mark created by
the bureaus scheduled close the
first of next month. The gen.
eral comment appears to be:
1--WE knew something would
be done for u.s."

.ST0LL KIDNAP
CASE NEARS
JURY
Prosecution Pile a d S
For Death Under
Lindbergh Law

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. II
Q.N.S0 The father and wife Of
Thomas Robinson, jr., crazed fug'
tive kidnaper, we're to hear today
whether they must pay for his
crime, the abduction Of the so
cially prominent Mrs. Alice Speed
Stoll.
BY a carefully laid-out schedule,
the IL middle-aged jurors who
have sat through five days and
two evenings Of testimony about
the sensational kidnapping, were
to get the case about noon.
Defense arguments were to be
completed today and Judge El-
wood Hamilton said he would
take about an hour to review the
case and explain to the jury the
"Lindbergh Law" which puts the
power of death for the defendants
in their hands.
Federal attorneys last night
outlined their case against Mrs.
Frances Robinson and Thomas
Robinson, Sr.
The elder Robinson, according
to Assistant District Attorney Old
ham Clarke, should be found
guilty because he saw his son a
month before the kidnapping and
gave him money to rent both the
car and the Indianapolis apart
ment Wed in the kidnapping.
Parts of the defendants letters
written last September and Oc-
tober were in code; he was named
as Intermediary and the kidnaper
told the victim that MY father
will see that the money is brought
to me-" Prosecutor Clarke said.
The kidnaper'S wife, the prose
cutor pointed out, was implicated
because she rented the kidnap car
and the kidnap apartment and
because of a telephone converse
ton she had with Robinson while
Mrs. Stou was prisoner, before
she took her husband the $50, 900
ransom.

Leaders Try to Kill
Move to Censure Court
for NRA Death

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. IL G.N.s)
Anticipating a movement among
the rank and file delegates at the
American Federation of Labor
convention to censure by resolu-
ton the United States Supreme
Court for its decision knocking
out the NRA, leaders moved today
to kill the issue in committee.
1t was learned the resolutions
committee had voted to stand

by President William Green,
which recommended that further
study be given the question Of
amending the Federal Constitu.
tion-first exploring all means
of overcoming the NRA overthrow
within existing limits before plac-
ing the A. F. of L. on record one
way or the other.
This decision was reached after
considerable argument. The fact
the resolutions committee will
make such a report does not ar
bitrarily forestall a vigorous de-
bate when the issue reaches the
convention floor next week.
Over the weekend, with no
session of the convention today,
convention leaders concentrated
also on attempting to settle the
building trades controversy which
has split 81 dominant construc-
ton unions into two belligerent
camps.
