LONG DRAWS
No COMMENT
BY JOHNSON

PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 8.
U.D-Gen. Hugh S. Johnson found
many hearty laughs in Sen. Huey
P. Longs speech but he declined to
comment on it today, adhering to
his plan to withhold his rebuttal
until after the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin's address Monday night.
But the general, who came here
to address the Rhode Island Bar
association, did not miss a word of
the Louisiana senator's speech. A
special radio set was installed in
his hotel room and he was host to
a small party. Present were Miss
Frances Robinson, Johnson's secre-
tary; former Mayor Joseph H. Gain
er, Eugene r. Gilmartin and Roy
Clapp, lawyers.
Johnson's cnuckles could be heard
in the corridor outside his room.
He emerged from his room grinning
broadly.
johnson for the most part confined
his speech to the bar association to
serious arguments upholding the
constitutionality of the NRA. He di-
gressed briefly to remark that II
can't forego the observation that
Huey seems to have appropriated my
pants to scatter about in senaAs
seats
johnson renewed his attack on
Father Coughlin while answering
questions from his audience after
his address. His previous attack was
not an attack ON the clergy in gen.
eral, he said, or on any religion be-
cause he respects all religions.
I'm my opinion" he added, "the
clergy have a right to discuss social
problems. But that is different than
forming political organization,
heading IL, using religion and appeals
to emotion. rather than by exposi-
ton of a point of view"
This statement drew applause.

PRICE Of HAY
TAKES JUMP

Hay growers of the valley will
be delighted with the news that
the Los Angeles hay market has
gone up one dollar per ton for
U. S. No. l, selling at $14 or ap-
proximately $10.50 f. o. b. ranch.
Scott B. Foulds, farm bureau Sec
retary, says that probably this
reason for the rise in price, a de-
cided reversal in trend. is due at
least in part to the fact that val
ley hay growers association has
shipped a large amount of hay
east as has the southwest district
of the San Joaquin valley, thus
limiting the supply of hay avail
able now that Antelope Valleys
supply is becoming depleted,
Consumers in Los Angeles who
have been buying just the amount
necessary for immediate demands
and as a result many are having
to increase their stocks.

Holmes was born, rang out. The
throng barred heads to the flurrying
snow and gusty March wind in
tribute to the justice.
Within the church, the casket
was borne forward to an altar
heaped with flowers. There we're
huge bouquets, expensive tributes,
but clustered about the casket were
those flowers Holmes loved best
homely blossoms of snapdragons,
yellow jonquils, and plain red roses.
Supreme Court Present
Ushering the casket to the place
of honor were the companions of
Holmes long service on the su-
preme court bench, the men whom
he had picked each year from the
Harvard law school honor rolls to
be his secretaries.
AS the casket proceeded in slow,
measured cadence to the altar, the
mellow strains of the organ re-
placed the pealing OF the steeple
bell. In rich and throaty tones it
poured forth the grief notes of
Cesare Lranck Of Bach and Handel.
In the eyes of the sorrowing
throng there were tears.
In tribute seven justices of the
supreme court stood with bowed
heads.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
there to represent her husband who
was to join the funeral cortege at
Arlington.
The service was the plain tribute
of the Unitarian faith. No eulogy
was spoken, only the reading from
the scriptures and sentence or two
culled from Holmes own philoso-
ply. His favorite sonnet, from the
Spanish poet, Joseph Blanco White,
"Death and Nighto was the only
variation from the barest essentials
of the service. sf7r.
The ceremony at the church was
over in just 80 minutes. With the
ancient bell again tolling, the body
was borne out of the chapel and
the funeral procession to Arling-
ton cemetery began.

today voted general strike, seek
ing economic paralysis and the
overthrow of the government, it
was learned on reliable authority.
Leaders met early this morning,
secretly, at rendezvous on the
outskirts of the city. Authentic
word from the meeting said that
they agreed to call out their men
within "a hours.
Delegates of the great Cuban
Electric company, affiliate of the
American Electric Bond & Share
company, were present and agreed
to join general strike. This would
cut off electric power throughout
the island.
Thousands of key workers al
ready were on strike.
There was complete strike of
employees of the government COM
munications department, affecting
telegraph and post offices through
out the Island.
Street car men in Havana walk
ed out at midnight-the first union
laborers to go. 1t was expected
that railroad and bus workers
would follow them without gen.
eral strike call.
Physicians, internes, nurses and
other workers at seven Havana hos
pitals joined the strike, as did
staffs of first aid stations, print
ers, aqueduct men except a skele-
ton staff to man pumps. and en-
tire staffs- of treasury, labor edu-

DEMAND MADE
BY MEMBERS
Of ASSEMBLY
Resolution To Make Matter
Special Business On Monday
Passes 81 To 8
HOT DEBATE UPON FLOOR
Decision To Put Governor On
The Spot Stirs Up Political
Controversy

SACRAMENTO, March 8. U.D =
A demand that Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam appear before the assembly
to explain his stand on the Town
send old age pension plan was
voted by the lower house today af-
ter an open split over the question
developed during an extended de-
bate.
An apparent desire to put the
governor "on the spot" as well as
force the assembly to take definite
action on the Townsend proposal
resulted in a vote of 81 to in fa-
vor of making the debate spe-
cial order Of business for 11:30 "a
m. Monday.
The heated debate broke on the
floor of the assembly when Assem-
blyman Charles Lyon, administra-
ton spokesman, urged adoption of
a resolution memorializing con-
gress to adopt an old age pension
plan "embodying the principles of
the Townsend PLAN"
Questioned concerning the ac-
tual meaning of the resolution. Ly-
one explained that it endorsed all
the principles of the pension plan
with the exception of the proposed
payment of 5000 a month to per-
sons over so years of age. That
phase, he explained, was an eco
nomic question and one in which
1t would be "unsound' to advocate
a definite amount without further
study.
This brought immediate charges
that the resolution avoided the
ISSUE" particularly from a group
of % Democrats who had been vot-
ing in a bloc against every move
ment to get the resolution passed
in the form approved by Governor
Merriam.
Assemblyman Ellis E. Patterson.
King City Republican, termed the
whole procedure Cheap political
trick"
Throughout the debate, contin-
ued reference was made to Gov
ernor Merriam's endorsement of
tlic pihiSiplco VI Iiic loWuotiiu
plan, and his asserted desire to
force the legislature led to the move
to have him appear before the as
sembly.
The first motion in this direction
asked that he be requested to ad-
dress the assembly Immediately.
When 1t was learned he had gone
to San Francisco, the whole mat
ter, including a final vote on the
Jones amendments, was made q
special order of business for next
Monday.
The assembly devoted nearly two
hours to debate on the Townsend
resolution, then handled routine
affairs until 1880 p. IN, when it
recessed until IL a. m. Monday.

KILLED THREE
DIES IN CHAIR

TUCKER FARM, Ark, March 8.
WP)-Mark H. Shank, Akron, o.,
attorney, was executed here today
for the grapejuice- poisoning of Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Colley and their
two children, near Malvern, Ark,
August Is, 1888.
Shank went to his death num-
bling a prayer but he refused to
make any statement in connection
with the crime. Father Gregory
Keller, who had been with him
much during his last hours, was at
his side and prayed with him to
the end.
The switch was thrown at 7:05
and Shank was pronounced dead at
7:12, after administration of five
shots.
Shank died after nearly a year
and seven months of legal fighting
by a corps of attorneys had failed
to secure him a new trial or force

Colley, slis wife, and two sons,
Clarence, 7, and Clement, S, died
a short time after drinking pois-
oned grapejuice at roadside pic
mic. A third child, Clyde, 3, recov-
cred because he drank too much

glasses from which the Colley fam
lily drank were introduced as evi-
dence at the trial which resulted

priation from the general fund for

operatives was under way today af-
ter an assembly unemployment COM
rnittee meeting ended in a bitter
clash ietween Frank Y. McLaugh-
lin, state relief administrator and
John A. Ford, Los Angeles county
supervisor.
The argument between the two Of
ficials stated at the conclusion of
the public hearing when Ford ac-
cused Mclaughlin of direct misin-
depreciation of federal relief poll
cies because of his deliberately un-
sympathetic attitude toward the
cooperative movement.
Vehement denials from MeIaugh-
lin raised the arguments to fever
pitch and fist fight appeared I'M
minent for few minutes.
After various charges had been
voiced over the relative merits of
direct and self-help relief, Ford
said:
I'VE are prepared to assume the
responsibility of any number of re-
lief cases at less than the cost of di-
rect relief
kilograms Received
Mclaughlin countered with. a
question as to whether Los Angeles
supervisors would guarantee to meet
cooperative requirements of the fed
erai government.
Ford refused to subscribe to this
guarantee, but reported his accusa-
ton that Mclaughlin was "quib-
bling over unimportant details"
During the committee hearing,
two kilograms from Harry Hopkins
were read in which 1t was stated
that I'VE have no objection to the
state making available funds for
self-help cooperatives. 1t must be
clearly understood, however. that
this office will not increase its al
location to California because of
this action"
The kilograms further pointed out
that no additional federal funds
would be available to California for
relief purposes before May Is.
