TEMPERATURES MODERATE


More than ITS deaths were attrib-
uted Wednesday to the observance Of
New Years and the cold wave that
swept across the northern half OF the
nation from the Rockies to New Eng
land.
Automobile accidents alone account
ed for more than 90 Of the fatalities,
while fires, gunplay and other mis-
haps swelled the total to at least lis.
Among the dead was the three
months-old daughter OF q Waukesha,
WIS.,. couple, who was suffocated, the
coroner said, when her mother left
the child swathed In blankets In q
parked car during . New Years
celebration.
At least II Of the deaths were due
to fires. Among the victims were five
men burned to death in q blaze that
destroyed the main quarters Of the
Cherokee county home at Gaffney,
s. @. Four others persisted In Ell Paso,
Tex. When smoke from an elevator
shaft seeped into the room Of Buff
falo, N. Y, hotel, Robert Patton went
to the ledge outside q window and
toppled six floors to his death. He
had apparently attempted to leap to
an adjoining ledge.
Meanwhile Mother Nature was mix
ing q hodgepodge Of the elements.
Temperatures were moderating in the
central west, while the cold snap hung
on in northern states along the At
lantic seaboard, with the weather man
predicting temperatures would go still
lower in parts Of the east.

relief, public works, social security
the budget or any Of the other major
issues with which congress will
wrestle.

congress will 60 through the opening

$50 YEARS IN
PEN, IMPOSED
Women in "Torso Murder
to Spend Days in
SOLITARY"

. CHICAGO, Aug. 9. (UP).-
Blanche Dunkell, bob-haired
grandmother, and Evelyn Smith,
faded burlesque strlpper, were
sentenced to $50 years in prison
yesterday for the torso murder"
of Erwin Lang the Dunkel wom-
ans son-in-law and paramour.
The two harpies-the mother
ia=law who fired the killing out
C unnatural jealousy and the
iGunty charmer of another day
who drugged and Strangled Lang
las favor to Blanche"-were
convicted by Judge Cornelius J..
Harrington, Wednesday after a
iuly-wa,ved trial.
He recommended novel pun
ishment. Each anniversary of the
crime, which occurred July 6,
they must spend in solitary con-
fiEement.
The 37-year-old Judge, young
est in the state, avoided the death
penalty, which would have meant
the first electrocution of women
in Illinois.
The sentences were fixed at a
long term Of years, instead of
life, so that the women would be
more than 100 years old before
eligible for parole. Only pardon
can free them.
Mrs. Dunkel wept during read
ing of the sentence. The amazing
nonchalance of the Smith woman
was unbroken. 1t was she who
sawed off Lang's legs while her
Chinese husband, Harry Jung,
tainted.
81 understand" Mrs. Smith
told a iailer, "that that prison is
a fine place. I'll be glad to go
there"
But Mrs. Dunkel confirmed the
Judges notion about death.
81 think my sentence is ter
rible," she cried. 81 would rather
have been sent to the chair
Warden Frank Sain, impressed
by Mrs. Dunkels detection, said
he was afraid she would try sui
eide and for that reason he would
seek at once to have the woman
sent to the penitenSiary at
Dwight.

an many cases the trouble is due
largely to their attempts to chlsel
down the farm wage scale gener-
ally paid"
Relief Director John Eddleman
of Oklahoma was more specihc'
He said Roy Wood, Oklahoma
CITY produce dealer, had charged
that 80 of his 100 carloads of po-
tatoes were spelling because he
couldn't get workers to dig them
for $40 to $3.50 a day. Eddie
man investigated. He told the
United Press that workmen could
make only rs cents in Woods
fields.
The Wisconsin legislature rec
ognized "a serious shortage OF
farm help" after farmers claimed
they had to press their wives and
children into service to harvest
crops" The assembly's inquiry re-
vealed adult farm hands were re-
ceiving $40 a month and keep, 50
for boys. The senate and house
suggested 81 daily wage.
In Texas, Relief Administrator
Adam R. Johnson said cotton
choppers" were leaving relief
rolls in droves to earn 81 to $3.50
a day. The average family soon
can make 81 day when picking
starts. Texas direct relief aver
ages $12 a month in cities, SO in
rural sections.
Southern states reported few
complaints. Miss Gay Shepperson,
Georgia state welfare head, re-
ported this incident and said it
was typical: One unemployed man
refused a job because. he would
have been forced to walk 26 miles
to work every morning for $500
a week. -.
She said that during June, she
dropped 143 persons-less than
one per cent of states relief load
from her care because they
would not work. Florida, Tennes-
see and Alabama reported "little
trouble"
The "job refusal" problem is
not pressing in the east or far
west, although state relief direc-
tors have been instructed to pare
down relief rolls to anticipation of
the works program.
Frederick |. Daniels, head of
New York relief, said "Few men
so far have refused jobs paying
decent wages His policy, he add
ed, is "to force no one off relief

BIG TRAIN DESERVES
lots OE SYMPATHY

Walter Johnson deserves a TOT
of sympathy. Literally speaking,
he was put on the spot last spring
when all the scribes and several
managers picked Cleveland to
win the pennant in the Amerl-
can this year. And naturally
when the indians failed to set the
league on fire the Big Train was
thrown into a bad light. Cleve-
land lust hasn't got the players
to overcome such teams, as the
New York Yankees, the Tigers,
the Red Sox. and the White SoX
