CLARA PHILLIPS GIVEN FREEDOM
But DENIES HAVING KILLED GIRL

The woman. who was number
37944 until she passed through the
gate. wore a close fitting blue hat
with a black veil. Under her long
black coat. trimmed in fur, she had
a black dress. Her pumps we're
white. Her face was powdered but
She used no rouge.
Her grey-slrcaked brown hair
vas tightly curled. Her hazel blue
eyes smiled cheerfully.
Goodbye Clara said, as she ex-
tended her hand to the warden.
Goodbye, Clara Miss Jackson
answered. you've been a good girl "
Then Clara ran through the iron
gate. which ironically enough has
a huge horseshoe at the center of
the arch above it.
She threw her arms around her
sister and they wept together, hap

Clara said goodbye to her former
fellow prisoners last night when she
had a "home going party. She
said she slept but little, being too
nervous about the close approach
of freedom.
Clara's concern about the papers
getting her age correct was char

From the very time she first hit

O' NELL TAKES
COMMAND Of
REVISED NRA

WASHINGTON, June II. UP) -
The reconstructed NRA is ready to
receive proposals for voluntary
codes but will proceed cautiously in
considering them, James L. ONeill,
New York banker said today as he
took command of NRA
Proceeding with a bankers con-
Servatism to the task Of shaking
down NRA personnel to put the
organization on a stop-gap and
fact-finding basis, ONeill indicated
it would be some time before he
was ready to act on voluntary
codes They can be submitted i'm
mediately, however.
We don't want to make a false
start, OMEN explained. when we
do make a move, it will be sound
and based on thorough study"
The congressional act extending
skeletonized NRA until April l.
1896, permits voluntary extending
providing they set up labor STAN
dards and do not violate the anti
trust laws
Because they cannot be enforced
and provide no penalties against
'chiselers" many NRA officials
have doubted their value. O'Nel,
however, said there was widespread
interest in voluntary agreements
throughout industry and many pro-
posals are being prepared.
The matter of new legislation
this session for a more permanent
and effective NRA is still "an open
question" O'Neill said.
