AFFIRMATIVE
VOTE TAKEN
At. bRAWLEY.
Recognition OF Fruit And Vege-
table Workers Union To Be
Sought From Growers
LEADERS STATE POSITION
Union Affiliated With American
Federation OF Labor And Not
Communistic

BY a practically unanimous vote,
shed worker members of the Fruit
and Vegetable Workers Union. at
a meeting held in Brawley yester-
Gay, decided to call strike OF
their membership in the valley, un-
less recognized By growers and ship
pers.
Voting on the strike was restrict-
ed to recognized shed workers.
The matter was placed in the
hands of a committee with instruc-
tions to confer with growers and
shippers concerning the matters
under dispute in an effort to settle
the difficulties without resource to
a strike, if such action was possible.
No definite date for the strike was
set at the time.
Recognition of the union by ship
pers and growers, with further rec
ognition of the unions right to
bargain collectively, were the main
reasons for taking the vote yeSter-
day, the growers and shippers hav-
ing refused to accord such recogni-
ton in the past.
Leaders of the union stressed the
fact today that the general public
should not confuse it's activities
with those of Communist inspired
agitators who attempted to stage
strikes in the pea and lettuce in
dustries last year.
"The Fruit and Vegetable Work.
ers Union is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor" a
spokesman for the union said, "and
has no connection whatsoever with
Communists or any Subversive or
ganiZations. For that matter, the
American Federation of Labor Is
recognized as one of the strongest
bulwarks against Communism that
exists in the country. Such recog-
milton has been given by Presidtnt
Roosevelt, Miss Frances Perkins,
secretary of labor and all leaders In
government affairs coming in con-
tact with labor
eff a strike is called by the shed
WORKERS it will be conducted in an
orderly manner and union members
will be pledged to refrain from any
acts of violence.
"The union represents the ma
jority of the white workers con-
nected with the various crops raised
in Imperial Valley and many are
permanent residents of this COM
munity.

MASS OF BILLS INTRODUCED in
CLOSING HOURS OF LEGISLATURE
Hectic Second Session Anticipated In March With
Liberal Assembly And Conservative Senate
Battling

100000 in new revnue during the
next two years. Since the general
fund budget presented by Governor
Frank F.. Merriam will need only
100000 in new revenue. and
general funds will claim another
$l0,000,000 it was obvious that most
of the tax proposals would be dis
carded.
Deadlock Ended
The Most important piece of
emergency legislation passed was a
mortgage moratorium compromise
bill. 1t provided that mortgages
must pay current taxes, 10 per cent
of delinquent taxes and meet insur-
ance payments, but the amount of
interest to be paid will be deter
mined by superior courts. This law,
If signed by the governor, will be
effective until September l, 1885.
Its passage by both houses end
ed deadlock that resulted from
the senate's amending an assembly
moratorium bill, and the lower
house refusing to recede from its
original demands.
A measure more satisfactory to
both bodies of lawmakers was ex-
pected to be adopted during the
second half.
Only one major appropriation bill
was approved. 1t provides $4,000
to continue the campaign for fed
eral aid for the $17O,OO0,O00 Cen
trail Valley water project.
BY far the greatest number OF
bills were devoted to finances, tax
ation and social relief measures.
Governor Merriam S record break
ing $347,0O0O00 state budget and
his tax plan to balance 1t paved
the way for introduction of scores
of revenue measures exceeding any
thing a California legislature ever
witnessed.
Democrats Promise Fight
Details of the administration pro-
gram were outlined in bills intro
duced the final day. Included
among the new tax proposals were
levies on personal incomes, real es-
tate transfers, natural resources,
amusements, tobacco, liquor, and a
consumer IS tax on gas, electricity,
telephone, telegraph and other util-
tiles. Increased sales, gasoline, and
bank and corporation franchise tax
es were proposed in other measures.
Scores of counter proposals were
submitted, particularly by Demo-
Gratis who objected to increasing the
gas and sales taxes, and favored
higher income, severance, inheri-
tance and corporation levies.
Legislators agreed they never
before haG such a mass of contro-
yerSial subjects to consider.
Purpose of the five-week recess
was to permit the lawmakers to
study the bills in advance of the
second half session, and give them
an opportunity to determine the
wishes and attitude of their constit-
uentS.
Because of the heavy last minute
rush, legislative officials admitted
it would be several weeks before
content of all bills would be
known

AUPTMANN IN
SHARP CLASH
Prosecutor And Accused Swap
Compliments During Fiery
Cross-Examination

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. %.
W.R)-Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
badgered and heckled until his
strong nerves almost failed him
again, shouted you lie," at Attor-
ney General David T Wilentz dur
ing his cross-examination today.
Wilentz had just wrung an dd-
mission from the defendant that he
had lied when he told District At
torney Samuel Foley, of the Bronx
about the boarG In mis- closet con-
tanning the telephone number and
street address of DR.. John F. Con-
don, the go-between in the Lind
bergh ransom negotiations.
And you lied to me, mister,
Hauptmann shouted back, as loudly
as his high pitched voice wou& car
ry.
We'll let the jury determine
about that" said Wilentz. But I
ask you whether have ever talked
to you outside of this court room.
Have'I ever been to your cell? Have
ever promised you anything?
Have ever seen you alone?"
NO." said Hauptmann. leaning
back in his chair again.
For a moment it looked as though
the two men were close to physical
violence.
Hauptmann'S long, powerful arm
was thrust straight ahead of him at
the prosecutor, who was only three
feet away when they clashed. One
finger was pointed, like a pistol, di-
rectly at the attorney generals fore
head.
Couldn't Remember
Hauptmann had lodged and
hedged and said Il can't remem-
ber" for more than an hour, and
the attorney general was getting
exasperated. He had tried to say he
couldn't remember the testimony
he gave in the Bronx eXtradition
proceedings, and his memory was
constantly refreshed from a copy of
the proceedings.
But he admitted, finally, that he
had not told the truth to Foley, and
then, angry at having made the
admission, charged the prosecutor
with having lied to him.
In the Bronx, it was shown,
Hauptmann had said first that he
couldn't remember putting down
the numbers on the board taken
from his closet. Later he changed
his story to say that having read
about the Lindbergh case in the
newspapers, he set down the figures
to remember them.

Wheeler emerged from a White

Wheeler's amendment, intended to

guarantee exemption from dissolution
or reorganization to such holding

He and Senator Barkley, Democrat,

A,A.A.PLAN DROPS
FUND PROTECTION.
Cotton and Tobacco Phases
Of Program Sidestepped
in Changes
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Two phases Of the farm program
appeared today to have been side
stepped as A. A. A. officials concen-
trated on their drive to safeguard
processing taxes from the fate of N.
r. AS codes.
The rewritten A. A. A. amendments,
II was disclosed, contain no protection
for funds collected under the Bank
head cotton and the Kerr-Smith to-
hacco acts.
Should these laws be held unconSti-
tutional, one official said it Is entirely
possible that growers might recover
from the Government $813,902 col
lected in cotton-ginning taxes and
S3208,5 in tobacco excise taxes.
This official explained carefully that
these taxes should not be confused
with processing taxes, which are levied
on manufacture or other processing
to get funds to pay farmers for taking
part in crop control programs.
The A. A. A. amendments would
seek to safeguard the processing tax
of unconstitutionality, and would pro-
hibit professors from recovering such
taxes should they be held unconsti-
tutional. But the proposed legislation
contains no such protection for the
Bankhead and Kerr-Smith taxes.
Validity Tested.
A suit testing validity of the Bank
head act is pending in the Supreme
Court. while Federal court in Ken
lucky has held the Kerr-Smith act
unconstitutional. The Government
has filed notice of appeal.
The Bankhead act provided tax
Of 5.6 cents a pound for all cotton
ginned in excess of a national quota
of 10,460,253 bales for the l934-35
crop. Farmers who did not partici-
pate in the cotton program, or who
signed contracts and then produced
in excess of their quotas, had to pay
the tax.
However, last years crop was only
s,470,000 bales, leaving an excess of
approximately 100000 tax-exempt
certificates.
The cotton tax-exemption certificate
pool was established to facilitate
transfer of these surplus certificates.
Farmers who produced less than their
quotas could sell their surplus certifi-
Gates to farmers who produced more
than their quotas.
The price was equivalent to 4 cents
per pound of cotton and thus was less
than the ginning tax.
16 Million Sold by Pool.
The A. A. A. reported that more
than $16,000,o00 worth of the certif-
Gates were sold by the pool. The
eS13902 collected was received from
farmers who paid the tax and did not
buy certificates.
Under the Kerr-Smith act, an ex-
else tax was placed on all tobacco
grown, but contract signers were given
tax-exemption certificates which could
be used for payment of the tax. Those
who did not sign contracts we're re-
quired to pay the tax in cash.
These acts, officials said, were de-
signed to obtain complete enforce
ment Of the A. A. A. programs, but
were not considered part of the A.
A. A. program itself, nor did officials
believe them essential to the future
Of the adjustment plans.

The Supreme Court was told

The declaration was made in

MRS. MUENCH
LOSES BABY

ST. LOUIS, Dec. Q.N.SO.
Acting in a Solomon-like role to
decide the claims of two women
for the same infant boy, Commis-
sioner Rush H. Limbaugh today
found that "the child is the son
of Anna Ware" unwed domestic
of Newton, Pa, and not the child
of Mrs. Nellie Upton Muench, wife
of a st. Louis physician.
The commissioner in din S
were contained in a report to the
three-judge st. Louis Court Of Ap-
peals, in which he recommended
"the order and the judgment Of
the court should therefore be that
the child be delivered into the
custody of the petitioner, Anna
Ware"
Under the law the whole court
must pass upon the commission
er's findings within the next
week or ten days. but it is Gus
tomary to uphold the commits
Sioner.
The Muenches had announced
the birth of an infant boy to
the 44-year-old Mrs. Muench at
their home here August 18. Mrs.
Muench termed the intent "a
gift from God in my hour OF
need" She was at the time un-
der indictment on charges of
participation in the kidnapping Of
DR.. Isaac Dee Kelley, jr., but was
acquitted subsequently at her
trial in Mexico, Mo.
Anna Ware charged that the
infant in the Muench home was
hers, born to her in the home
of a midwife here August II and
taken from her shortly after
birth. In a habeaS corpus suit
instituted to regain possession OF
her son she alleged the MuencheS
