 Alaska who have money to bequeath will recognize the merit of this tribute. The bequests that have been made in the past have been entirely voluntary. If a person mak- ing will knows that the money bequeathed will go into a definite and worthy project it will be a ma terial incentive for future bequests. 1t may even be possible that fu- 5ure winners of the ice pool, which

FIGURE AS FRAUD.
Roosevelt Budget Views
Called "Deceptive" Huge
Increase Predicted.

Declaring the Presidents recent
budget summation was deceptive and
misleading" the Republican National
Committee predicted today the deficit
for the current year will be $685.
100000 more instead of 100000 900
less than last year.
President Roosevelt said he antic-
ipated the $300.000,0O0 reduction in
his budget summation of Septem-
Der 80.
The President was charged with
grossly overestimating what the ad-
ministration proposes to spend and
grossly Understanding what it ex-
poets the Federal income to be"
thereby building up fictitious deficit,
in a current issue of the committees
publication. Facts and Opinions"
At the end of the year, according to
the committee, the President is then
able to show he has not spent the
money he said he would, the deficit,
1t was stated, is thus less than he pre-
dicted, and he credits the difference
between his fictitious deficit and the
actual deficit as a real saving
The committee said its own estimate
of the current years deficit may be
too. high, but is based on real figures
issued by the Treasury Department
and not on a political statement de-
signed to drug the business interests
and taxpayers.
The President, the committee added,
must break his pledge to the people
and spend little or nothing of the
$4,000 100000 relief fund if he in
tends to live up to his statement that
less would be expended for recovery
and relief this year.

the President to embargo such ma
terials might easily get him into
serious trouble with the farmers. He
sidesteppeo the issue by telling them
they may sell to Italy, but "at their
own risk"
All insiders realize what this win
mean If the League sanctions against
Italy include blockade of Italian
ports. The risk will suddenly become
too great. The embargo will assume
an entirely different potency.
There are those here who never
overlook the practical side. For in
stance. State Department official
has already figured it out that the
New Deal will more than make up in
Negro votes whatever it may lose in
Italian votes from its new policy.
There are supposed to be about
2,000, 900 Italian voters, 1000, 900
Negroes.

Possible Death Penalty
in Plea to Jury.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October l2.-At-
tackled as "conspirators" and de.
Tended as innocent agents in saving
a life, Mrs. Frances Robinson and
Thomas H. Robinson, ST., today heard
attorneys arguments which mark the
conclusion of their trial in the $4,000
Stoll kidnapping.
Mrs. Robinson at one point was
referred to by her counsel as a "reScu-
ing angel"
At the conclusion Of arguments, ex-
pected today, Judge Elwood Hamilton
will prepare instructions to the Fed
eral court jury of middle-aged farmers
and business men hearing the case,
and place the decision in their hands.
Prosecutor Ends Argument.
Assistant District Attorney Oldham
Clarke completed his argument last
night for the prosecution with these
words:
Convict them and leave their SEN
tence to the court"
Thus he closed the door to a pos
sible plea for the death sentence, a
penalty possible under the Lind
bergh" law only if recommended by
the jury.
This is perfectly planned
scheme" Clarke told the Jury. 1T
was not done hurriedly for it worked.
They had perfect setup, but the

been anticipated"

who also spoke for Mrs. Robinson,
said the Government was seeking to
convict her for doing what the Stoll
family begged" her to do-carry the
$4,000 ransom to her husband II
she is guilty. Norman said, then they
are equally guilty of compromising a
felony"
Referring to Robinson. ST.. as hav-

being outside an asylum would have
permitted his crazy son to name him

MOVIES EVOLUTION
INTO COLOR IS TOLD
Long.Sought Goal Attained by
Concentration on Film Itself,
Says Expert.

BY the Associated Press.
The evolution of motion pictures,
from the first fiat white-andblack
productions to the modern technicolor
films, was described to the Electro
chemical Society last night by DR.. c.
E. K. Mees of Rochester, N. Y.
DR.. Mees' talk was delivered before
some 600 guests at an evening session
of the society's convention in the Will
lard Hotel.
Former experimental processes in
tranSpoSing color to film involved the
use of special cameras, special pro-
jecting equipment and other para
phernalia which made widespread use
impractical, DR.. Mees explained.
These difficulties have been elimi-
mated. he added, by concentrating en-
tire attention to the film and making
it, in effect, lens which separates
colors and records them at the same
time
Each color film Is coated with five
emulsion, two serving as bases. Each
of the remaining three records either
red, blue-green or yellow light and
passes the remaining two through it
unchanged. Between each of these
layers is a minute layer of emulsion
which acts as filter to and in SCREEN
ing out the unwanted wave lengths of
light.
When finally processed in highly
technical procedure which involves
the development. washing, fixation
and dyeing of each separate layer in
turn, the top layer of emulsion con-
tains the yellow images, the middle
layer the blue-green and the bottom
layer the red.

MU[[EN'S $175,O)O
FEE 0. K. DELAYED
Sum Charged for Handling
Applications for Two
Power Projects.
BY the Associated Press.

6y INC hhSOCldtcu FlcoS.
Attorneys fees of $175,000 charged
by the law firm of Arthur Mullen,
Washington lawyer and former DEM
ocratic national committeeman from
Nebraska. on two big power projects
in that State, were said today at the
Public Works Administration to be
still awaiting approval after pending
more than a month.
Officials said such fees were usually
approved quickly when considered
proper charges. They refused to dis
cuss why the Mullen bill had been
delayed, or to predict what future
action would be taken on it.
Handed Applications.
The fees were charged by Mullen's
firm for handling the applications for
the Platte Valley public power and
irrigation project and the Loup River
public power project. Together, the
Federal Government advanced $l8,-
40O, 900 for the two undertakings.
Fees of $4,000 each for legal work
In preparing the applications were
asked. Another S25 200 was added to
the Platte River bill fer work in con-
nection with NebraSka's suit against
Wyoming for what Nebraska termed a
fair distribution of the North Plates
waters.
If Secretary Ickes. P. w. A. chief,
should continue to withhold approval
of the fees, Mullen would have two
courses of action. Either he could
submit modified bills or he could sue
the administrators Of the big power
projects for his money.
Some Fees Are SIashed.
Though attorneys fees have cleared
the Public Works Administration
promptly IN the past when IckeS has
considered them proper. he has cut
some of them down to fractions of the
original sums. There have been in
stances in which he has allowed only
20 or 80 per cent of the sums asked.
Mullen is one of large number OF
men, formerly prominent in party
posts or official life, who are now prac-
ticing law in Washington. The list
