Unemployment Is Stake.

Undoubtedly the expenditures of
the utility industry had much to do
with employment in previous years
and If Congress passes law of some
kind and it is promptly tested in the
courts the unemployment program will
be accelerated.
The utilities also buy raw materials
from the metals groups of industries
and this, too, is said to have made up
a large part of what was an average
expenditure of 81 100000 900 year be-
fore the attack on the utilities began.
That's why the Senate and House
conterees ought to get together on
bill and dispose of the issue. The
House and Senate bills both have un-
constitutional features which ought to
be corrected so that regulation may
really be obtained instead of delayed
through prolonged legal controversy.

WASHINGTON. March IL. - A
week of explosive possibilities began
today for the senate, with Huey
Long and a smoldering insurgency
against the White House likely to
combine in producing one of the
most momentous periods of modern
senate history.
The $4,800,000,000 work relief bill,
called back for floor debate after
two weeks in committee comes up for
consideration in an atmosphere
electric with suspense and excite
ment.
Main trouble spots are:
/. The works bill may be delayed
by Longs running attack against
Postmaster General James A. Far

2. Independent Republican S

Slayer Of Child
Goes On Trial

WHITE PLAIN, N. Y, March II.
U.P)-Albert H. Fish, IS, went on
trial today for the Staying of 10
year-old Grace Budd. The jury will
be asked to decide if the grand
fatherly old man, who blandly ad-
mitS revolving sexual alterations
and practices, knows enough of
right and wrong to be sentenced to
death as sane.
On the eve of his trial, Fish at
tempted suicide for the second time
since his arrest.
Fish IS defense will plead insan-
ity. His court-appointed lawyer,
Jems E. Dempsey, said he expected
to put him on the stand to tell in
his own words how he lured the
Budd child from her home in Man
haitian to an abandoned house in
WeStchester county where he mur-
dered her and dismembered her
body.

.LAMSON CASE
JUROR HURT.
IN BATHTUB

SAN JOSE, Calf, March II. W.6
Gus A. Mauer, Sunnyvale ranch
er serving on the jury in the second
Lamson murder trial, was suffering
today from injuries received in a
bathtub fall similar to the one the
defense holds killed Allene Thrope
Lamson, wife of the defendant.
Mauer's accident was one of the
oldest circumstances surrounding
the controversial manner in which
the wife of David A. LamSon, for
mer Stanford campus leader, met
her death on Memorial day, 1888.
The juror slipped while bathing
Saturday night in the hotel assign
ed to the jury members. He was not
hurt seriously, however, and was
able to attend church yesterday.
Doctors said his injury would not
interfere with his service on the body
charged with deciding Lamsons
fate.
But trial observers were divided
on the probable effects of Mauers
accident on his fellow jurors and
himself.
Some held that the juror and
some of his colleagues might now
be convinced that 1t would be i'm
possible for any one to be injured
fatally in a bathtub fall. Others
maintained the jury would realize
more the possibility that the de-
fense theory is correct and that Mrs.
Lamson met death accidentally.

EMPLOYED
CONVENTION
At CAPITAL
San Diego Assemblyman De-
clares He Is Willing To Have
Communism End Capitalism

SACRAMENTO, March IL. U.H-
Unemployment insurance, rather
than work relief, dole system or
other suggested aids to workers,
was demanded today by 500 dele
gates to the state unemployed con-
vention.
The delegates, assembled mostly
from Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Sacramento, adopted a resolu-
ton insisting upon legislative ap-
proVal of the unemployment insur-
ance bill submitted by Assembly
man John B. Pelletier. Los Angeles
Democrat.
Among the demands voiced and
cheered at the convention were:
Absolute abolition of the profit
system.
I Higher standards of living for
unemployed workers.
Abolition of capitalism.
Smashing of all legislation de-
signed to break strikes.
Make employers, rather than
workers, furnish the funds for un-
employment insurance.
Election of officials who will
serve the people, rather than the
special interests.
Operation of government for the
people as a whole.
Jeer Pension Plan
The convention jeered old age
pension plans on the ground that
the average worker dies at 65 and
therefore could not derive any BEN
eft from fund to which he would
contribute for many years.
Speakers included ASsemblyman
Pelletier, who made a demand for
unemployment insurance and oper-
alton of government for the "whole
of humanity" saying the spectacle
of "people starving in the midst
of plenty' was an American in
vention.'
Assemblyman Paul A. Richie, San
Diego Democrat, advocated aboli-
ton of the profit system and was
cheered when he remarked, "if
you want to use the Communist
party to sweep capitalism away, it
will be all right with me. -
DR.. Harry j. Lane, of the Ingle-
side church, San Francisco, urged
the necessity of an adequate un-
employment insurance program.
The convention decided to send
committee OF 25 to call upon the
California assembly and demand
joint session of both houses to con-
slider the Pelletier bill. All dele
gates planned to march on the
legislature later In the day.
Nora Conklin, local Communist
organizer, presided at the conven-
ton. -.-'---,---

Tonkers Held Up
By Coast Strike

SAN PEDRO, March IL. W.P)-
Virtual tie-up of all incoming Am

today pending settlement Of sail
ors union wage dispute with oil
companies.
Masters of two American tankerS
scheduled to arrive here today were
instructed by their employers to
anchor off port until an agreement
is reached with the union.
The boats which were to dock
with cargoes of oil, are the Union
oil tanker, Los Angeles, from Ven-
tura, and the Richfield tanker,
Torres, from Portland, Ore.
Operators radioed the instruc-
tions to masters last night as a
move TO forestall union threats to
call q coastwise strike of oil tanker
personnel until settlement Of a
wage and working condition dis
pute. About 1900 men would be af-
fected.

Chamber Asks
Information On
Girl Solicitors

The chamber of commerce has
received several telephone calls this
morning, advising that a crew of
girl magazine solicitors is again
operating in the city, selling mag
azine subscriptions assertedly for
the purpose of obtaining as prizes
aeronautical instruction.
Manager Robert Hays has asked
that Ell Centro residents should call
the chamber Immediately while
these solicitors are still there and
give the chamber chance to con-
tact this crew.
"It's the same old story said
Manager Hays, "of magazine sub
scription solicitors. Sometimes, the
subscriber receives the magazines,
and sometimes he does not. Ir
this particular case Of the crew
operating today, the chamber has
had no opportunity to investigate
the concern which the girls are sup
posed to represent.
"There is no reason in the
World,' he concluded, "Why our
magazine subscriptions should not
be placed locally. We have a dozen
or more agencies permanently To-
Gated in Ell Centro, operated by Ell
Centro business men, willing and
eager to send in magazine sub
scriptions and it is not necessary,
and it often in the past has been
unwise to turn these subscriptions
over to outside solicitors and more
particularly to pay money to un-
known girlS.''
