Within the next day or TWO, the
students of the high school and J..
c. will again enjoy the comforts of
heated rooms.
When asked about the lack of
heat during the first days of our

system, he found that the old fuel

TACOMA, Wash, June 21.-The
Federal Government, accuser Of Mr..
and Mrs. Harmon M. Valley as George
Weyerhaeuser's abductors, awaited
their pleas to Federal kidnapping
charges today as the next step in
closing the 100000 snatch case.
Arraigned in Federal Court here
yesterday and furnished with counsel
by the court, the confident, husky
voiced former convict and his young
wife were ordered back at pm. rs
pm, Eastern standard time) today to
enter pleas.
In actions of the couple yesterday,
some observers saw their intention to
plead guilty and face sentences which
might put them in prison for life un-
der the stringent Lindbergh kidnapping
law.
Mahan Still at Large.
The unanticipated appointment,
however, of Attorney Stephen j..
O'Brien as their counsel after ques-
tons asked the court by Valley, left
unanswered the query Of what course
the couple would take.
Meantime, their co-defendant, Will
liam Mahan, charged as William Dain-
ard and last seen in Montana, still was
at large.
Valley and his wife repeatedly re-
jected Judge E. E. Coshman'S efforts
TO give them counsel before hearing
their pleas.
After Assistant District Attorney
Owen P. Hughes had read the indict-
mentS, however, and the judge once
more inquired before ask your pleas,
do you wish counsel advice, assist
ance?" Valley suddenly asked a
question.
Wanted Indictment Explained.
'I'd like to know" he said, where
it says we all three conspired, does that
mean before the kidnapping or after?"
Judge Cushman already had in
formed the Valleys he had message
from Mrs. Valleys relatives indicating
they had considered selection of
Seattle's former mayor, John Dore. as
her lawyer.
Valley whispered with Hughes mo-
ment and asked that Dore's repre-
sentative. O'Brien. be appointed.
The change in Mrs. Valleys de-
meanor after appointment of an at
torney was marked. She smiled.

Mrs Hammond felt the imiaence Of

the Capitol without any protest from

Hearings before Senate committee
IN New Orleans in January and Feb

and her friends to wonder at the way
the Senator gained his victory ir the
Democratic primary m Louisiana the
year before.

seated" said Mrs. Hammond, who,
before the Senate Committee arrived
in the Louisiana metropolis, left
affairs of state to her husband and

By the Associated Press.

Reluctantly. the Agricultural Ad-
toward enforcement of the controver-
sial potato tax control law as testi-
mony in the second day of hearings
continued Overwhelmingly to demand
that course.
Scattered voices from small produc-
ing areas opposed the compulsory con-
troll law or favored voluntary methods,
but the great bulk of commercial POI
tato growing sentiment was favorable
to the law enacted by the last
Congress.
One of the few dissenting voices
was from Connecticut. w. S. Mid
daugh said growers in that State were
opposed to the pending control plan
because they felt they would be pen
allied by allotments based on past
production
r. S. Campbell Of Massachusetts
favored voluntary reduction with ben

pulsory program with a tax of q of a
cent pound on excess production.
Zuckerman Leads Chorus.
The chorus for enforcement of the
law was led by H. c. zuckerman of
California. largest producer in the
United States. who contended the VOL
untary plan would be less effective
and just as difficult to administer.
Rugged individualism and agricul-
tural control don't seem to make good
bedfellows," Zuckerman said, but
with l5-cent potatoes the growers
continue to get ragged and raggeder ="
