LAMSON

SAN POSE, Cal, March !
GNSO.-Because Of an unusual
legal Snarl David A. Lamson,
charged with the Stanford cam
pus "bathtub murder of his at.
tractive young wife, Allene, may
walk out of the courtroom free
man while his second trial is still
in its preliminary stages.
This possibility was seen here
today by the prosecution as Judge
Robert R. Syer prepared to rule
on a situation unique in Califor-
mia jurisprudence, tangle which
developed when the long and
arduous task of selecting a jury
to retry the Stanford press execu-
tive seemed at an end.
Eight men and four women
had been sworn in and two alter
mates chosen, when Defense At.
torney Edwin M. Rea asked per
mission to requestion Juror P. T.
Peabody.
Rea asked the juror if he or
his wife were related to John
Fitzgerald, chief deputy district
attorney. Peabody responded:
"My wife Is a first cousin Of
Mr.. Fitzgerald"
Chief Defense Counsel Edwin
v. Mckenzie demanded selection
of jury be reopened and he be
allowed to exercise one Of his
five remaining peremptory chal-
lenges on Peabody and remove
him from the box.
This was resisted bv the State
and Mckenzie then demanded a
mistrial be declared.

RACING PIGEON
FOUND HERE

Found exhausted on the polo
field in Potomac Park by a relief
worker, homing pigeon with a
clock band, B-786, was brought to
The Times office today.
Walter j. Keller, the relief
worker who found the bird, said
it was so exhausted it refused to
move when he approached.
According to William Luers,
Times photographer, who modestly
admits to being a pigeon expert,
the bird is the type used in racing.
Pigeons of this variety, Mr.. LuerS
said, are shipped out of town,
sometimes so far as 80 miles, and
released.
When he returns to his coop he

band taken off his leg and
clicked. When all the pigeons
are in, each fancier takes his clock
to the club and the winning bird
gets the purse, amounting some
times to $1,000.
Mr.. Keller said he would feed
the pigeon and, after it had rested,
turn it loose. On the birds right
leg was an aluminium band, read

Rubinstein, ambitious to be re-

many works both large and small.
The larger works because Of I'm

pointing, but the shorter works
seemed to be imbued with the
noble inspiration and romanticiSm
that was evident in his piano
playing.
The Melody in F" is one of
his most popular short works and
shows the influence Of the Ger

The amount Of these discounts will

ton to station calls for correspond
ing distances.
If approved, both Of these chang
es will become effective January

"The extension Of the night dis
count period on station to station
calls throughout the day time Sun
day will add to the convenience Of
long distance service and make it
more useful to our customers"
Manager H. Forsyth, Of the North

The present night discount on
station to station calls has given
customers who are willing to talk
with anyone available at the tele-
phone called the advantage of a
lower rate between P. NJ, and
4:30 A. NJ. However, this does not
meet the needs of many Of our
customers who desire to talk with
a specified person during these
same hours. The proposal to extend
the discount to person to person
calls during the night and on Sun
day will permit those who wish to
talk with a specified person to
have the advantages heretofore en-
joyed only by those using station to
station service at night" said Man

Speaking at University Farm, St.
Paul, December 16, Claude r..
Wickard, chief of the corn and
hogs section of the Agricultural
Administration said:
"The 1936-37 corn-hog contract is
designed to increase hog production
in the nUited States about 80 per
cent above the drouth-reduced
level of 1885. A provision of the
contract permitted the signer, in
1886, to raise up to 100 per cent
of his market hog base, but re-
quiring him to produce so per cent
or more of this base if he is to re-
ceive his full hog adjustment pay
ment, will have the following
four fold effect:
"O 1t will give the producer
a greater total hog income than
he would receive if his hog num-
bers were kept at their present
low level; (2) provide the consumer
with more adequate pork supplies;
80 tend to prevent further region
al dislocation in hog production as
an aftermath of the drouth; and
(4 help to prevent over-expansion
of hog production and a subse-
quent return of distressingly low
hog prices in 1887"
The rate of adjustment in hog
for 1887. Mr.. Wickard
said, will be announced by the Sec
retary of Agriculture before De-
cember 1, 1886, and will be deter
mined by the 1887 outlook, but CO.
operating producers will not be
required to produce more than 60
per cent or to make a downward
adjustment of more than 25 per
cent of their base hog numbers in
1887.

A New Plan To Lower
Telephone Rates
Lowest Night Long Distance Rates
Are Planned For Daytime
On Sunday

A plan that will place in effect
the lowest night long distance
rates during the daytime on Sum
day is being considered by the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Com
pany and the State Regulatory
Commission. If this plan is estab-
lished it will mean that the lowest
rates on station to station calls
which are now in effect every
night between 7 P. NJ, and 4:3O A.
NJ, will also be in effect between
Z p. NJ, Saturday, through Sunday
until 4:30 A. NJ. Monday.
Also a plan to establish a dis
count on person to person calls at
night and on Sunday is being dis
cussed. At the present time there
is no discount on person to per-
son calls at any time. 1t is proposed
that a discount be established on
person to person calls from P.
