New Deal Hindrance
 Or Aid Being Aired
U S. Chamber of Commerce Officials to Discuss Ques-
 ton at Washington Convention To-day

conventions of the chamber, mem- bers were faced on the eve of their forthcoming meeting with two diametrically opposed state ments, one from the president and one from the National Association of Manufacturers.
 The president said in his fire- side chat that the depression was fast becoming memory, while the manufacturers association held in Q formal statement that New Deal reform legislation is holding up a $20,O00,000,000 boom, which business itself can start, If unhindered by congress and the administration.
 "A careful analysis of the busi- ness outlook indicates that. This country today is closer to breaking the back of the depression than at any time since the forces of re- covery began working through the world 1932," the association said.
 Then 1t tempered this optimistic pronouncement with warning that the administration must shelve the unemployment insurance bill, the Utility Holding Company bill and changes in the railroad laws, if re- viving business is to be unleashed. It said also that congress must squelch the threat of imitation, the 30-hour week bill, the Wagner la bor disputes bill, and the Guffy coal bill.
 Chamber of Commerce leaders saved their verbal fireworks for the convention proper, which opens tomorrow with an address by the outgoing president, Henry I. Har- riman, upon the achievement of American business under the de- pression.

MURDER MYSTERY
 INQUEST AWAITED
Authority Predicts Sensa= tiOnal Evidence in Film
 Colony Deaths

Hollywood, April 29.-(UP)- Solution of the film colony's strange murder mystery to-day hinged upon an inquest which in- vestigators said would reveal ''something sensationaw in connec- ton with the staying of Paul Wharton, dress designer, the suicide of his chauffeur and the nearly fatal shooting of college profess sor.
 Date for the inquest has not been set, but Captain Norris J. Stensland of the sheriff office said he expected the inquiry would clear up several points surrounding the fantastic case. He predicted that "there is likely to be someone of considerable importance right in the middle of it."
 Captain Stensland said he hoped to learn what caused William M. Howard, former ensign in the na- val reserve, to murder Wharton, whose chauffeur he was and then dash to another apartment where he pumped two bullets into the body of Henry B. Bolte, 39-year old law professor, before turning a gun on himself.
 Investigators also hoped to learn more of a dinner party in Wharton's fashionable studio apartment which preceded the series of tragic events and to de- termine definitely the motive be- hind the murder, and suicide.
 N. c. McDermitt, 21-year old sailor from the U. s. s. Pennsyl- vania,. sought as the "blond mys- tery man" and supposedly the only living witness to the shooting of Wharton, was questioned, but of- ficers said they learned little.

 "That," said Petrozzio as the lawyer finished, ''is . nice story"
 The subject of drinking hap pened to come up at this time. and again the "Walloping Wop" rose to the occasion. "You know" he declared, "when I have a few drinks in I'm even a more perfect gentleman. I was a fighter, and a good one, and I have Q big book of clippings. They say I'm punch drunk, but it's the others that are punch drunk"
 More ''Racketeering"
 "only yesterday, judge, your honor," said Petrozzio as he changed the subject, "his brother was in to try to have me not come to court. He's a racketeer, too."
 The brother, Thomas Lasalle, advanced then and asked to go on the stand. Guido here is punch drunk" he began. "He told me yesterday I was Q l0use and a rat and I told him that he was a snake and crawled on his belly"
 "You're a racketeer," interrupted Petrozzio. "You're both rack- eteers."
 "Yeh," dittoed the witness. you're a racketeer."
 AS the hearing finally came to an end after Patrolman Fred Hickey had given brief testimony. Judge McGrath said: 'The Wal loping Wop' here Is like the rest of the prize fighter. doing his train ing in night club. But don't think hair brush could give him that bump. Fifty and costs"

Other ReverberatiOns of Political War Kept the
 Week-End Busy

Chicago, April 29-(UP)-Re. lverberations of coming political wars for control of the national government, intensified by week. end conclaves and speeches, re- sounded through the country today.

 Republican leaders meeting at Excelsior Springs, Mo, called Q party conference for June in Springfield, III. to plan means of lrecapturing the inland states in the 19a6 presidential elections.

 Long addressed the associa:' ..l Saturday, preaching his share-our- wealth doctrine.
 Father Coughlin Silent
 Either through coincidence or design, Father Coughlin did not go on the air yesterday, 8 day chosen Iby President Roosevelt to expound his recovery plans. The chief exe- cutive took an inferential jab at his enemies, saying recovery was advancing "in spite of the few who seek to confuse them (the people) and to profit by their conusion,"
 Instead, Louis Ward, Coughlin's associate, substituted. He spoke on the first three articles of the Con- stitution. asserted they no longer were fully operative and urged return to constitutional govern ment. He said the legislative branch no longer functioned accord- ing to constitutional design.

PUBLIC ASKED TO BE MORE CAREFUL
Weekend Most Hectic in Fire Departments His-
 tOry-Brush Fires

With the dry spell continuing to create dangerous brush fire men, ace, fire department officials were hopeful to-day that care on the part of the public in building bon fires and in discarding cigarettes might prevent another outbreak of the threatening blaze. The week. end was one of the most hectic in the departments history, with brush fires in the large majority as alarm after alarm came in.
 The present month has brought with 1t some of the worst brush fires that the city has seen in many years, with acres of grass and woodland area having been laid waste by flames. Yesterdays most dangerous blaze was one which broke out in the woods between Wy man street and Chestnut avenue at noon, threatening a dozen homes in that area. Firemen worked fran tically for several hours under the direction of Deputy Chief Thomas Cavanaugh to prevent the homes from being set afiame.
 A barn caught nre In the Maple street section, setting fire to small sheds and the roofs of two homes before 1t was brought under con- trol.
 Two of Saturdays brush fires were of major proportions, one burning over a wide area in the Pearl Lake road section and the other raging in woods adjoining the yards of the Connecticut Lum- Der Co on Highland avenue exten- sion.
 Three families were driven out of a building at 40 West Farm street at 12:45 this morning when fire broke out in a grill underneath a porch. The blaze was not serious and little damage was done.
 Leaving their homes were the Terelli, Babicola and DeVito fam flies. Gaetano Ferelli owns the property.
