By the Associated Press.
SANTA MONICA, Calf, April 49,
Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor,
was accused by speaker at conven-
ton Of women's clubs here today with
being mot in the least interested in
the cause of women"
The charge was made by Mrs. Anne
Leidendecker, president of the Los
Angeles district, California Federation
Of Business and Professional Women's
Clubs.
Mrs. Leidendecker said the actions
Of Secretary Perkins at her recent la
Dor legislation conference in San Fran
cisco proved her attitude toward
women"
I'VE had a conference with Miss
Perkins, asking for her views on the
amendment before Congress which
would grant equal rights to men and
women in every field of work" Mrs
Leidendecker said. I'VE soon learned
she believed women are not and never
will be the equals Of men and that we
are biologically handicapped and must
therefore suffer from protective legis-
lation which discriminates against US. -

ALBANY, N. Y, April 13STam-
many Hall hurled fresh defiance at
Gov. Lehman and Postmaster General
Farley today by helping the Republi-
can minority defeat the Democratic
bill for congressional reapportionment.
The vote was 81 ayes to 76 noes.
AS result the session approached
its end with rumblings of a special
session to come later and an unre-
lenting fight between Tammany and
the State and national administra-
tlons. Although beaten for the time
being. Lehman and Farley are ex-
pected to press the fight after REFORM
ing their lines.
Defeat Is Conceded.
Temporarily conceding a Tammany
victory, Gov. Lehman decided that so
far as he was concerned the Legis-
lature might adjourn tonight, as
planned, and he would not interfere.
But the lawmakers heard reports
that they may be called back within
a few weeks for a final showdown
with Tammany on reapportionment.
Three times the Tammany delega-
ton in the Assembly has formed a
coalition with the Republican minor
ity to defeat reapportionment.
Roosevelt Is Scored.
Angered at the proposal to deprive
Manhattan's Democratic machine of
10 seats in the Legislature and three
in Congress, Louis A. Cuvillier, leader
of the Tammany delegation, on Thurs
day charged that President Roosevelt
was seeking to wreck Tammany and
mad ordered Gov. Lehman to have
the reapportionment bills passed.
Reapportionment was one of the
two major points in his legislative
program in which the governor was
unsuccessful. The other was ratiflca-
ton of the Federal child labor amend

defeated today in the Assembly by q

How Accurate Are the Ratios?

When it is recalled that the compar-
ison of tax burdens is largely made on
the basis of reported assessment ra-
tios, then the question turns to the
accuracy Of these reports.
And in this case it is interesting to
study one of the tables contained in
the Treasury's report, which contains
the estimated ratio of assessed to true
value used in its comparison.

JUSTICE UNIT GETS
LIMA PLANE CASE
Inquiry On to See if Flyers
Violated Neutrality or
Arms Laws.

The Department of Justice has been
called upon to determine whether 10
American airplane pilots and me-
chanics, who have been grounded at
Lima, Peru, have been guilty of vio-
lation of the neutrality OF arms en-
barge laws, 1t was learned yesterday
afternoon.
The State and Commerce DEPART
ments, both of which have been IN
vestigating the case, which 1t Is feared
might involve the United States in
serious diplomatic difficulties with
warning South American republics in
the Gran Chaco, called upon the
Justice Department to aid them.
There 1t was admitted that investi-
gators are making a preliminary study
of all the records =, to determine
whether. there has been a violation
of the neutrality laws. If it is found
that one has occurred, thorough in
veStigation will be undertaken at once
In the meantime, it is understood
has been notified by the Department
of Commerce that he is subject tc a
$500 fine for landing in Peru with
out permission, have arranged to nan
die their case through one of their
number, now believed to be on the
way to the United States.
Time May Be Extended.
The men, among them four well
known in Washington, were granted
10 days in which to enter a defense
against the action of the Commerce
Department in grounding them and
subjecting them to fine. The Today
period expires tomorrow.
In view of their effort to conduct
a personal defense through their
representative, said to be Wayne
Cannon. assistant navigator of the
expedition" the Today period prob
ably will be extended indefinitely to
give him time to reach here from
Lima. Cannon, it was said, vas
granted diplomatic permission to
leave Lima and it was assumed he
would come directly to Washington.
The other members are expected to
remain at Lima with their four
grounded airplanes, said originally to
have been built to the order of the
Bolivian government as lombard
ment airplanes for use in the Chaco
war.

STRANGE MONSTER SIGHTED

Fishermen and hog dogs beat
through the thicknesses of Estero
island last week in search of a spined
lizard-like monster, but the hunt did
not reveal it's hiding place.
Armed with weapons that ranged
from gaff hooks to high-powered
rifles, curious hunters beat back and
forth across the mangrove clusters
along the island shores. There was
nothing more than the ordinary wild
life that inhabits the secion.
A photograph snapped by the only
man who has seen the animal-Lewis
Reynolds of Selma, Alas proof
that it is there.
Fisherfolk say they have never seen
anything like the creature shown in
the picture. The head is scaly and
shaped like that of lizard. Down the
back is row of spines, and the trail
is long and pointed. The animal is
about six feet long, and of greenish-
gray color.

Fen,i1,ists Seeking

For Vice President
But Arailable Leaders
Share Belief Time May
Not Be Ripe.

By the Associated Press.
The idea of woman Vice Presi-
dent of the United States Is cropping
Up in conversation among Capital
feminists.
But many of the women leaders
who have been through political bat
ties seem to agree with Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt that the time may not
be ripe for such a move.
The League for a Woman Presi-
dent and Vice President, a Brooklyn
organization, recently tossed two
names into the discussion as posi-
bilities-Judge Florence z. Allen of
Cleveland and Miss Josephine Roche,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
Neither approved.
Later the name of Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, Minister to Denmark, began
to be heard in the conversational
buzz. She was too far away even to
hear it. But people in her lecture au-
diences have often j gered afterward
to tell her that if ed been born a
boy she'd stand good chance Of
winning the prize her father three
times missed.
If any vice presidential bees are
honeying around the flowers in the
Easter bonnets of Republican women
they have not become generally au-
dible. But Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
who hit highest on this Federal scene
Of any woman of her party, still Is
no stranger to Washington. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth, daughter Of
Theodore Roosevelt, has turned down
all suggestions of a seat in the Sem
ate, but nobody questions her aware
ness of what goes on in that body.
