BOY OF SIXTEEN
 GOING TO CHAIR

Mount Holly, N. J., Nov. a. (UP)-Unless higher courts inter- vene, New Jersey will execute a l6-year old boy for murder.
 Jacob Clemiengo, a strapping farm hand, stood tremblingly before Judge Frank A. Hendrickson last night and heard himself condemned to the chair. While the judge spoke, tears rolled down face fuzzed with the first down of manhood.
 With him was sentenced George H. Hildebrand, 26. They killed Thomas Filler, 63, a poultry farmer, for reputed hoard. Finished his duty, Judge Hendrickson turned to the jury that had just returned the capital verdict, saying:-
 "The court thanks you. You have arrived at a just verdict"
 Clemiengo's attorneys had count ed heavily on their clients age tJ save him from death. They de- manded a poll of the jury and the six men and six women, all coun- try people, answered in firm voices that death was their verdict.

Holds Same COnnpOsure as When Arrested; Pleads
 Not Guilty

New York, Nov. 22-(UPJ-vera Stretz, blonde art student, pleaded not guilty in general sessions court to-day to an indictment charging her with the first degree murder of her married sweetheart, Dr. Frit1 Gebhardt, German scientist and t1nancier.
 Pale, but maintaining the almost "inhuman" composure that her at- torney said had frightened" him, Miss Stretz did not speak during the proceeding. She was taken to court in a prison van with five negro women, most of them charged with vice offenseS.
 Other cases were being heard as she was led into the courtroom of Judge Otto Rosalsky and she was permitted to sit alone in the jury box for 10 minutes. During this time she did not once raise her eyes.
 Not Guilty Plea
 When the clerk of the court f1n- ally called her name she stepped quietly in front of the bench. In a monotone the clerk read the formal charge ending with first degree murder"
 Her attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, entered the not guilty plea, manda- tory in murder cases. He did not ask for the usual time limit for the til- ing of motions preliminary to trial but later dismissed this commission as of no consequence.
 Miss Stretz then was taken back to the wolnen's detention prison. She did not glance at her father, Frank Stretz, or her sister-in-law, Mrs. Adelaid Stretz, tried to catch her eye as she left the courtroom.

LAVA STREAMS THREATEN CITY
lilo of Hawaii Islands in Path of Fiery Liquid
 5 Miles Wide

Hilo, T. H., Nov. 22.-(UP)- Moving with unusual speed, two streams of fiery lava from Mokua- weoweo, second largest active vol cano in the world, advanced steadily on Hilo and the Kona coast today At 2:3O a. m. (Island Time) the northeast stream, threatening lilo was only 25 miles from the city. II had moved IS miles in less than 24 hours. The lava tide washing down the other slope, toward the Kono coast, had travelled an equal, dis tance.
 Coast Guard Stands By
 The U. S. s. Tiger of the coast guard service was ordered to stand by for emergency evacuation of lilo and of villages along the coast of the Island of Hawaii. All avail- able deputies of the U. s. forestry service were mobilized for the ener- gency. The Kona How appeared cer- tain to cut of the government road on that side of historic Mauna Loa within 36 hours. The lava, which had a spread of five miles in width before 1t split into two streams, is working its way through forest areas.
 Damage Is Great
 Not since 1899 when an eruption of the crater washed 8 lava river to within three miles of Hilo has the danger to the city been so great the path of the lava was the Wailuku river, source of Hilo's wa ter supply. Old residents said the flow was the greatest within their experience. Weird flames shooting skywa-ds from the fiery mass were visible for 60 miles. The northern Tit of Mokuaweoweo, second only to Mt. vesuvius in size, exploded early yesterday after earth temblors had warned islanders that Madame Pe- lee, mythical goddess of the vol- aaNA xx,ae Iaxaniv,n aRofYN

SUPREME COURT
 HAS HUGE TASK
New Deal Planks of Much Importance Are Before
 It for Decisions
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Staff CorrespondenO

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Nov. 22.-(UP)-The New Deal and "big business" were locked in a bitter struggle to-day over constitutionality of major blanks in President Roosevelt'S re- covery program.
 Government legal experts were rushed to the front to defend a new onslaught upon the presidents farm policies. The supreme court already is studying cases vitally af- fecting thousands of dollars in pro- cessing tax collections-the life- blood of the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration.
 Federal courts throughout the nation are laboring under a stag Rering burden of New Deal litiga- tion, involving not only the AAA but the Bankhead cotton control law, the Utility Holding company regulation act, the Guffey statute creating a Little NRA" for the bi- luminous coal industry, and the Wagner labor relations act which seeks to guarantee collective bar gaining rights of the working man.
 Latest Lineup
 Here's the latest lineup, com- piled after a busy day in the court room battle:
 1. Injunction proceedings against enforcement of the utilities act, which is scheduled to become effec- tive Dec. 1 wit hdrastic penalties for violators, have been started or threatened on a wide area in the east.
 9. The Guffey coal act, which levies a tax due January ?, 1886, is under attack here and in Pitts burgh.
 3. The question of immediate collection of processing taxes may be affected seriously by a supreme court ruling on Monday.
 4. Prominent lawyers, headed by John w. Davis, former democratic presidential nominee and member of the American Liberty league; joined the processing tax squabble when they asked the supreme court to permit them to participate in the famous Hoosac Mills case test ing validity of the program.
 Utilities Began Early
 The Utilities industry began it's real offensive in Philadelphia on Wednesday when the United Gas Improvement company, through former Sen. George Wharton Pep per, R., Pa, filed suit in district court seeking to enjoin enforcement o. the Utility control law.
 The Ugi was followed yesterday by the New York and Queens Elec- tric Light and Power company which indicated, in papers filed with the Securities and Exchange commission, that 1t and its parent the Consolidated Gas company, did not intend to comply with the law and would fight 1t vigorously.
 Tn Wilmington, Del, the Delaware Electric Light and Power company filed @ suit similar to that of the Ugi, while another was placed on the federal court docket in Phil adelphia by the Philadelphia Elec- tric company.
 Tn Pittsburgh, Pa, the Pittsburgh Coal company, one of the largest in the industry, filed @ suit chal- lenging validity of the Guffey Coal Control Act. Similar suits are pending here and in Louisville, Ky. They all seek an injunction to re- strain imposition of the IS per cent tax imposed on coal sales.

Continued from Page u

up by the house following the dis
poSal of the -NRA.
Green's White House conference
followed by only a few hours
threat that unless the NRA is ex-
tended for two years national
strikes may result. His strike state
ment was backed by other labor
chiefs.
WASHINGTON, May "a. O.p -
President William Green said to-
day that labor may be expected TO
join in a general strike if congress
fails to extend the NRA for two
years,
Green first revealed the strike
possibility at a mass meeting in
New York last night.
Here today to argue before the
house ways and means committee
in behalf of two-year NRA extern
sion, he reaSserted and strength
ened his threat.
He made it plain that the gen.
eral strike action would hinge sole
ly on the NRA question. Previously
he had indicated the move would
be invoked only if congress failed
TO enact labor's three demands
two-year NRA, 30-hour week, and
Wagner labor disputes bill.
In my judgment" Green said,
failure to extend the NRA for two
years would result in strikes
throughout the nation-first in the
industries and then We would con-
slider mobilizing our full strength
for a great national demonstra-
ton"
Green warned that There will
be no question about the effect OF
a general strike if such is neces-
sary."
Green's appearance before the
ways and means committee was ex-
pected TO conclude testimony on
the NRA question with the excep-
ton of that of Gen. Hugh S. john
son, former NRA chief, due to fol-
low him today or tomorrow.
Green told the committee, in be-
half of organized labor, that the
seven point NRA extension pro-
gram should be changed to con-
tinue NRA control over all indus
try.
He said that TO limit the NRA to
industries engaged in interstate
commerce alone will cause wide
spread unrest and dissatisfaction"
He asserted that distinctions be-
tween interstate and intrastate
commerce were highly artificial"
and that NRA was designed orig
inally TO regulate all business and
industry and OF protect all en-
ployees.
Millions of the most cruelty eX-
plotted workers are in the so-called
service trades" he said, which
might not come under the inter-
state commerce definition"

After an exchange of angry ac-
cusations between Dawson and
Donnelly, the scene shifted to the
desk Of Assemblyman James p
Brennan who pounded his desk to
emphasize charges that the bill was
'vicious."
His face red with anger. Bren-
nan said the measure would make
it possible for only rich man or
a candidate with powerful news

took personal exception TO a re-
mark assertedly made by Garrison
