MANILA, P. l., January Com
stabulary officers disclosed today that
a daring mass murder plot had been
thwarted with the killing Of Bandit
Chieftain Teodoro Asedillo and two
Of his aides.
Notes found on Asedillo's body out
lined plan for outlaws led by Ase-
dillo and Captain" Kulas Encallado
to raid towns on the shores Of Laguna
De Bay January 3. The bandits
planned to execute officials and all
constabulary informers in the raided
towns.
The outlaws memoranda did not in

shores of the inland lake would be at

within miles of Manila.
Constabulary bullets thwarted the
contemplated reign of terror when
Asedilio was trapped with three Of
his followers Tuesday. Oficial reports
said the chieftain and two others were
killed. The fourth, seriously wounded,
surrendered.
Residents of Sampaloc village, one

ministering neutrality policy found
ed on the duty" of preserving the
peace. The present law. expiring Feb
ruary 90, requires the President to
embargo arms shipments to bel
ligerents.
In his kilograms to the two broad
casting companies, Fletcher said:
THE Presidents decision to drama
tie his message and to bring down
to the level of political speech his
constitutional right and duty to ad-
dress the Congress on the state of
the Union is understandable in the
light of past performances.
1t is apparent, therefore. that the
President considers the members of
the Senate and the House as only ir-
cidentally his audience. and that he
will be addressing himself to the
electorate as part Of his campaign
for reelection. OF course, he has a
perfect right to do so if the Congress
sets aside the time it wishes to re-
ceive the message.
We are not objecting to the pro-
gram outlined. but merely requesting
an equal opportunity to place our
case before the people with the same
facilities. the same stations and, po-
tentially, the same audience

sides of the vital current issues should
be presented to the American jury for
their own judgment.
Unless the party in opposition be
granted equal facilities, the dominant

ties of communication in an effort to
perpetuate itself in power"
1t was learned on high authority
last night that the night session, to
follow perfunctory formal openings
at noon in each house, was consid-
cred of such significance that it was
discussed at last Fridays cabinet

before that. Who originated it was
not announced, but most authorities
had a feeling it was the President
himself.
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
floor leader, returned to the Capital
yesterday and discussed the opening
arrangements with Vice President
Garner. Robinson had been consulted
by telegraph in Arkansas and had
given the night meeting idea his ap-
proval. Republican leaders gave their
assent at a meeting with Garner

day the New Deal already had spent
or loaned more than $4,000, 900 900

Part of this represents loans on
which Federal officials say they will
recover in the main. Some Of 1t al
ready has come back to the Treasury.
Treasury figures showed also that
almost s7,000,000,000 of appropriated
funds remained unexpended at the
end of the year, including the bulk Of
the $4,000, 100000 work relief fund
and almost $4,000, ,000, 900 in the Re-
construction Finance Corp.

covery were more than $4,000, ,000, 900

This money was raised through the
sale of bonds guaranteed by the Gov
ernment and upon which the Gov
ernment has a contingent liability,
but Is not the original debtor.
The grand total also was enhanced
by loans from revolving funds, by
which the same funds were used over
and over again.

the farm and city mortgage loans.
This total also included some OF
the expenditures of the Hoover ad-

the duplicate loans made from the
same revolving fund.
President Roosevelt has promised
that the peak Of spending has passed
He has not limited at the size OF the

for relief, but all indications have
been that 1t will be sharply reduced.

the Vermilion Lake territory.
Before leaving, eggs by the thousands
are deposited in cocoonS on the trees
which again in the Spring develop in
to worms. Later the worm, or cater
pillar, changes into a moth and the
moths lay the eggs. The worm does
the feeding and the damage but the
moth before dying makes sure of a
multiferous progeny by depositing as
many as 400 eggs in each cocoon and
with suitable weather conditions pro-
duces 400 worms to repeat the evolution.
Forest service men state that there
is possibility that weather may kill
off millions of the larvae. This will
result if a cold spell should follow a
brief warm period during which the
larvae are Matched and later exposed
to the cold weather Birds are also
expected to do away with a considerable
portion of the worms.
However, such possibilities are remote
and the poison spray is considered the
best bet. Congress has sensed the
enormity of the pest and has made
an appropriation for the fight on the
forest amounting to $4,000. 1t is ex-
pected that $4,000 more will be appro-
priated to be used on lands adjoining
the forest.
