Doctor Resumes
His Testimony
In Larr1son Case

SAN JOSE, Calf, April 10. W.H
DIR. Frank Sheehy, San Francis
co surgeon, resumed his testimony
for the defense at David Lamson IS
second murder trial today, describ-
ing in details injuries to Allene
Thorpe Lamson's scalp and skull
which he insists could have result
ed only from a single, powerful
blow.
His theories supported the de-
fense contention that Mrs. Lamson
died from an accidental fall in her
bathtub and was not bludgeoned to
death by her husband, as the state
charges.
DR.. Sheehy, member of the San
Francisco lunacy commission, di-
rectly contradicted testimony of
prosecution medical experts who
said Allene s skull was fractured
by series of forceful blows-blows
which the state contends were in
flicted by Lamson with a piece of
pipe.
Anticipating more routine medi-
cal testimony, only a few of the
usual throng of spectators we're in
the court room today.

WORk-REL|EF
PROGRAM To
Be SPEEDED

WASHINGTON, April TO- up
The peak load in the works-relief
program will be reached in mid
November, President Roosevelt in
dicated today.
At that time, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
he hoped the $4,880,000,000 drive to
put 1000 900 Americans back to
work would be running full blast.
The chief executive said the ad-
ministration of the program would
be carried out as far as possible by
existing government agencies. The
greater part of the work. he said,
will be handled by such organiza-
tions, pointing out that they all
have been studying the plans and
requests for allocations for a long
time
Mr.. Roosevelt added, however,
that additional administrative ma
chinery would be required TO un-
ify the program.
The President moved swiftly to
put into motion plans for eXpan-
sion of the CCC camps. He called
in Robert Fechner, CCC admins
traitor, to discuss enlargement of
camp facilities to accommodate the
100000 more men who will be en-
rolled, bringing the CCC strength
up to 100000.

IN
COAST STRIKE

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. mn)
The narrowing hope of peaceful
settlement of the month-old Paci-
fic coast oil tanker strike virtually
was obliterated today when tank
er operators informed a federal
mediation board that they will
continue to operate their ships and
will not capitulate further to de-
mands of five striking marine un-
ions.
The operators statement OF pol
icy was delivered to the board ap-
pointed by Frances Perkins, secre-
tary of labor, as a reply to an
announcement by union represen-
tatives yesterday that they had
asked President Roosevelt to in
tervene directly in the strike to
force employers to permit collect

USED
ON CONGRESS
BY PRESIDENT
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 10 Up -
President Roosevelt called on con-
gress today to buckle down to work
on the administration must
legislative program.
Congress, inclined to toss part of
his program overheard to expedite
adjournment, was told he wants all
planned legislation enacted at this
session if at all possible.
If Mr.. Roosevelt fails to get the
desired action from congress, OBJ
servers believed he might appeal to
the country through one of his fire
side chats to bring pressure on re-
calcitrant legislators.
Some of his advisers have urged
this course. The last such appeal
was made last tall when Mr.. Roose-
velt attempted to rally public sup
port for NRA They feel such a
talk would revive public support of
the President.
Word that the President intends
to stand firm on his legislative pro-
gram was carried to the capitol to-
day by house leaders who conferred
late last night with Mr.. Roosevelt.
A few hours after he returned
from his two-weeks fishing trip Mr..
Roosevelt called speaker of the
House Joseph w. Byrns, Robert l..
Doughton, chairman of the house
ways and means committee, and
former Congressman Charles West
of Ohio to the White House.
The confereeS, emerging from the
executive mansions after two-hour
conference, indicated Mr.. Roosevelt
had made no direct threat to use
the big stick"
While showing firmness in mis-
desire to keep his legislative pro-
gram intact, Mr.. Roosevelt gave the
impression he wants congress to go
about cleaning up its legislative
calendar in its own way.
There was an implied hint that
he may become tough guy" If
action is not forthcoming.
Must" legislation includes social
security, NRA extension, bank re-
form. transportation and ship sub
sidy legislation.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, April 10 U.R) -
Silver, oils, refrigerator issues and
tobaccoS shared honors as features
In today's stock market. Most is
sues in those groups rose fractions
to more than 2 points, while the
main list moved irregularly with
the leading issues sagging. Trad
ing was moderately active.
Refrigerator issues were promi-
nent in the morning dealings on
sharp improvement in sales. Their
places were taken by the silverS
when the New York price for foreign
silver scared rs cents to 641s an
ounce, a new high since July %,
1925. That price conceded exactly
with the price the treasury pays for
newly mined silver, not counting a
3 cent selling cost the treasury
levies.
Both President Roosevelt and
Secretary Morgenthau indicated
that silver miners would receive
prices equivalent to the world price
when it crosses 6412 cents an ounce.
Traders jumped to the conclusion
that would not be far off and
bought silver shares. They rallied
swiftly but not for long. Toward
the close they were we'll under the
highs of the session.
U. S. Smelling rose more than 2
points from It's low. Howe Sound
gained more than point net and
then reacted. Gold Miners were
quiet and steady. International
Nickel made its customary daily
high.
Demand for oil issues developed
near the close. Amerada was strong
all day. 1t touched new top for
the year at 57ss up 27s and held
most of the advance. Gains of frac-
tions to more than point were
made by Seaboard Oil, Texas Corpo-
ration, Texas Pacific Coal 81 Oil,
Standards of New Jersey and Cali
fornia, Shell Union and Atlantic
Refining. Outlook for higher gaso-
line prices aided.
Volume approximated 100000
shares, compared with 100000 shares
. yesterday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing av-
erages showed industrial 104.06 off
0.26, railroad 5000 off 0.06, utility

DISCUSSION On
STATE INCOME
TAX IS STARTED

SACRAMENTO. April 10. U,P)-
Arguments over income taxes,
truck regulation bill and an ap-
pointment by Governor Frank F.
Merriam enlivened activities in the
legislature today as lawmakers at
tempted to move into heavy pro-
gram.
The assembly resumed consider
alton of the Chatters income tax
bill, which would assess a rate one
third that of the federal tax and
raise between $17,500,00O and $685.
100000 biennially. Members of
the Democratic bloc sought to
amend the bill, graduating the rate
for the purpose of obtaining heav-
ier payments from upper bracket
incomes.
In the senate, a brief skirmish
developed ovH appointment by the
governor of John G. Porter, for
mer mayor of Los Angeles, to the
state personnel board. Although
endorsed by the committee on rules,
the measure was sent back to COM
mittee and there was evidence the
upper house would refuse to con-
firm the appointment
Debate on truck regulation bill
which would give the state railroad
commission jurisdiction over truck
ing was started as a special order
of business in the senate. This
measure gained prominence as a
result of the investigation of Ma
than J. Elliott, Los Angeles truck

BERLIN, April 10. - 1t was en-
phasized, as the Stresa conferees
left for their talk, that Germany
is not hostile to the principle of
the European security or to the
proposal that Germany re-enter
the League of Nations.
Germany will insist, it was said,
that it will not promise in advance
to aid any nation against a possible
aggressor, nor will it return to the
League of Nations in its present
form.
1t was explained that the present
league is unsatisfactory to Germany
as a league of World war victors,
not equal nations. Newspaper COM
ment, closely under government
control, says that Germany will
not reenter the league even if the
league is divorced from Versailles
treaty provisions, of which its COW
enant is a part-that the league IS

LONDON, April 10. U.P)-Reports
that France and Russia were about
to enter virtual military alliance
brought last minute change in
British plans for the Stresa con-
ference, it was understood today.
The cabinet held an extraordin-
ary meeting just before the Brit
ish delegation, headed by Ramsay
Macdonald, prime minister, and
Sir John Simon, foreign secretary,
left for Stresa.
1t was INDICATED, as a result OF
the alliance report, that the Brit
ish at Stresa would try to switch
France toward either merging its
Russian agreement into a broader
European security system or sur
rounding it with other treaties to
which Germany would adhere.
Such substitute would be based
as is the reported French-Rus-
sian agreement-on the penalty
clauses of the League of Nations
covenant.
Just before the cabinet meeting,
Simon, at a long talk with Robert
Worth Bingham. American ambas-
sador, outlined the European situ-
alton for the benefit of President
Roosevelt.
Simon told Bingham that Britain
would engage in no new commit
ments at Stresa. The meeting, he
said, would be an exploratory one.
The British delegation, he said, was
going with an open mind to make
the best of situation whose grav-
ity no one tried to conceal.

MORE DUST IN
MIDDLE WEST

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April rs.
tU.P)-Rains, which ranged from
showers to gully washers yesterday
in many parts of the middlewest
gave way to dust today.
The gray haze floated eastward
from the dust sector-the boundary
section of Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico and the Panhandles of Ok
lahoma and Texas-where rain was
not received.
In the western areas the dust
was not severe, most towns report
ing little in the air. The weather
bureau explained the dust which
started from the southwest yester-
day had cleared that region and
was Just reaching the eastern sec
tions.
In Kansas City it blotted out
buildings at half mile and OBJ
scured the sun. 1t apparently prov
ed no deterrent to orderly move
ment of traffic and business how
ever. Cars moved at steady pace
and there was no occasion to turn
on headlights.
At Topeka, Kansas, however, the
dust was thicker and visibility was
limited to about 300 yards.
The dust failed to erase the
smiles brought by the rains of this
week, however, as it will cause lit
tie or no damage except in the
area to the west where it originat-
ed In Nebraska where rains wash
ed away bridges and inundated
highways, a fine start for crops
was assured. Enough moisture fell
there to suffice for weeks.
In most of Kansas except the
dust area there were fine rains and
Missouri and Oklahoma also re-
ceived much needed moisture. Sec
tions of Colorado got both rain
and snow.
