The average woman, he found
from their answers, would surrend-

for the modest sum Of $40, while
the men would require $1,000 before
they would give up hope.
Of human practices, he found,
the thought of cannibalism was the
most repugnant. The average man
wouldn't take less than $3.50 900, 900

would take S1,375,000

would be blazoned in the daily
newspapers.
Regarding public intoxication, the
men were much more agreeable
than the women. For S25, they
would publicly befuddle themselves.

servative in the matter of ifsulting

younger persons said they would

STRIKES HURT
AUTO OUTPUT

DETROIT, May l. U.P)-The vast
automotive industry was threaten
ed with paralysis from strikes and
plant closures today.
Output of the General Motors
corporation was curtailed with 49,
600 workers idle and three plants
closed. Other units faced a shut
down because sharply reduced pro-
duction lessened the demand for
car parts.
There also was the threat that
strikes might spread to other man
ufacturers until the entire indus
try was enveloped, no progress was
evident in peace negotiations thus
far.
The walkout of 2,200 workers in
the Chevrolet assembly plant at
Toledo precipitated the crisis. Yes
terday approximated 1000 men at
the Cincinnati plant went on strike.
These strikes caused the huge Fish
er body plant in Cleveland to close
when the night shift ended today.
Nine thousand workers were affect
ed with a payroll of $l,000,00O
monthly.
Edward F.. McGrady, assistant
secretary of labor, arrived in Tole-
do today from Washington to un-
dertake mediation. He was ordered
these by Secretary of Labor Fran
ces Perkins.

offices and for that reason he con-
tended that the demurrers should
be sustained.
Petitioners attorneys brought
forth new case records to show
that holders of election certificates
should be considered as rightful
incumbents of the offices for which
they held the certificates.
When court reconvened at 2
o'clock this afternoon following
the noon recess, the petition for a
writ of mandate to force Barry and
McIver to deliver up the records of
their offices to the petitioners was
to be taken up. 1t is thought prob
able that Judge Warmer, at the
conclusion of the arguments, will
take the matter under submission
with ruling to be delivered later.
Today's hearing followed action
of Judge Warmer several days ago
in sustaining the demurrer of Mac
Kinnon to the original complaint
filed by Hatch and Bratton. At
that time the court gave petition
ers leave to amend their COM
plant and the hearing on that
complaint was set for today.
Judge Arthur Mundo, San Diego,
presided at two previous hearings
in the district election contest at
which he denied injunction to Nc
Iver and Barry against Hatch mad
Bratton to prevent them from TAX
ing possession of the disputed Of
ficeS.

Record Flight

NEW YORK, May /. Up-Break-
fast on one coast and dinner on

visaged for the air traveller in the
near future today after the record
breaking transcontinental flight OF
the TWA mystery plane" from
Burbank, Calf.
With a robot pilot at the con-
trolls for the greater part OF the
journey, a giant, bi-motored low
wing Douglas plane flew through
snow, dust and rain storms in II
hours and minutes, cutting bv
28l2 minutes the previous trans-
port record, set February q, py
Leland L. Andrews.
Aviation experts agreed that the
flight demonstrated that within a
short time there would be regularly
scheduled passenger flights from
coast to coast in II hours or less.
For only three short intervals
during the 24O0-mile flight were the
controls guided by human hand.
Pilot D. w. Tomlinson took the
ship over the San Bernardino
range, around a snowstorm in Colo
rado and over the Hudson river.

budget will be balanced.
1t may adopt a program of var
led new taxes similar to that pro-
posed by the governor, change the
entire tax setup by approving a
gross receipts or transactions tax,
or fall back on the ad valorem, an
emergency tax on property.
The other m a jor alternative
would be to toss the entire question
ino the lap of the electorate by
calling a special election and let
ting the people decide whether to
delay transfer of utility property to
county tax rolls.
Opposition to the governors var
led plan was strong. A powerful
fight was being organized against
the levying of a gross receipts tax.
Legislators appeared to be swinging
gradually to support of the ad val
orem principle. They were again
delaying return Of utility property
to the counties.
Strategists were busy attempt
ing to make trades and pave the
way for adoption of some kind of
a program.
While the steering committee re-
sumed deliberations on the veX-

His proposed resignation was not

that Moffett suggested that Stewart

Albert L. Deane, deputy administra-
