Negro Charged With
Murder Of White
Woman In East
JERSEY FARMLAND THREAT.
ENED WITH LYNCHING

Bridgeton, N. J.-(CNA)-Ro-
main Johnson, 27 years old farm
hand here, has been arrested and
threatened with lynching on charge
Of attacking and numbering" Mrs.
Minnie Horovitz (white), wife of a
wealthy tomato grower.
It is alleged that Mrs. Horovitz
was attacked while sitting in her iv-
ing room reading murder mystery
story. Her head had been split open
with an axe "after she had been
dragged to the bedroom and attack
ed" according to police authorities.
No Evidence Against Johnson
Johnson was picked up by the po-
lice upon the complaint of the dead
woman's brother-in-law, Max Horo-
vitz. There was no evidence against
Johnson. He was apparently picked
UP solely because he wah a Negro
and happened to work on the veal
thy tomato farm.
In conjunction with the police de-
partment, Max Horovitz succeeded
in whipping up lynch sentiment
against Johnson, which has resulted
in a mob threatening to 'string him
up".
After being arrested, Johnson is
reported to have admitted" the
crime.

The reply is now being
formulated in Munich. 1t is
not known yet whether the
reply will be in the form of
a proclamation by Hitler or
merely a statement in the
name of the government.
Berlin circles are ignorant of its
contents because of Hitler's absence
in Munich and his known habit of
always formulating himself all
foreign political documents.
1t was assumed, however, that
Hitler's statement would bear out
the remarks of DR.. Bernhard Won
Buelow. state Secretary in the for
eign department, to the British and
Italian ambassadors yesterday. He
emphasized the difficulty of further
German cooperation in pending
European negotiations because of
the Geneva decision.
1t was assumed the statement
would also emphasize the great diff
fculties attending any German re-

TOWNSEND BILL
BEATEN IN HOUSE
0Id-Age Pension Plan Is
Loser in Teller Vote,
206 to So.
By United Press

BY tHttcd PFeSS
WASHINGTON. April 18.-The
House today crushed DR.. Francis E.
Townsend's plan for paying old-age
pensions of 5000 a month.
The standing vote was 206 to S.
The vote on the direct issue indi-
Gated that the Administrators
economic security bill would be
passed to the Senate in virtually its
present form. The Townsend 500
900 100000 transaction tax program
was offered as a substitute to the
Administration bill.
Defeat of the Townsend bloc
found Administration leaders jubi-
liant. They believed that they had
killed off the Townsend issue for
the rest of the session. Since Con-
gress started, representatives have
had to work overtime answering
thousands of letters from back home
urging them to support the plan
which high Administration officials
have termed "cockeyed."
The townsend plan, modified
somewhat in the House, provided for
payment of 5000 a month to all over
so with incomes under $240o an
nually.
Today's teller vote came shortly
after the House began reading the
security bill for amendment.
