FOREST FIRE IS
 NOT CONTROLLED

Mashpee, Mass, June 1-(Up)- More than 400 state forestry work CTS, eco campers and volunteers early today battled to control flames that already had destroyed a half-dozen buildings and 2400 acres of Cape Cod timberland. Au- thorities confidently predicted the fire would be controlled within a few hours. No further houses were in the patch of the blaze, they said. Headed off from the summer col- ony at Cotuit, the fire was nearing the Forestdale section of Sandwich. The old Indian church as well as several other landmarks here, threatened yesterday, were believed out of danger.
 Though fire destroyed an adja. cent barn and cranberry storehouse, firenen saved the 400,0O0 summer home of Garter WhitcoEnb, New York publisher, with Q curtain of water. The other buildings de- stroyed were one-story frame hous- es that had been evacuated earlier by occupants warned by state poe lice. Fire Chief Ray Wells of Fal- mouth said the fir probably was incendiary. He reported several men were running from the wood- lot shortly before the fire was dis covered Saturday noon,

 GOES ON TRIAL

Joliet, H., June 1.-(UP)-James Day, youthful slayer of Richard Loeb, went on trial tolay pleading that he was only trying to defend himself when he slashed Loeb to death in @ prison bathroom.
 Basis of Days defense will be his confession, in which he accused Loeb, co-slayer of Bobby Franks l2 years ago, of trying to force him into an abnormal act. The state, expect ed to demand the death penalty, will contend that Day exceeded the limits of self-defense.
 Loeb, young intellectual who with Nathan Leopold murdered the Franks boy for thrill" was a pris- on instructor. Day was one of his pupils.
 Day said Loeb befriended him, and later made the improper pro- posal to him. Day refused but agreed to talk things over" because he was afraid of Loeps influence, he said. Loeb threatened him with a razor, De:' contended and he took the razor away and Slashed at Loeb fin self-defense.'

ARAB MAYORS TO
 DEFY BRITISH

Jerusalem, June 1-(UP)- Arab mayors from all over Palestine an- nounced today their determination to defy British authorities and in- sist on compliance with their de- mand that Jewis.l immigration and sales of land to Jews be halted. Un- less their demands are met within 10 days, they announced, they would resign their offices and stop their efforts to halt disorders by their followers.
 Franz Bochart, @ German Jew- ish immigrant who came here seek ing refuge from the German Nazis, was killed yesterday afternoon in the suburb of Givat Shaul.

Sixty thousand Jews were admitted last year. The Arabs argue that it will not be long before Jews are in the majority if the present rate continues.

 Capt. Ira H. Marmon of the Michi- gan state police said the death in 1884 of John L. Bielak, Hudson mo- to car empoye, could be traced to the Black Legion.
 From a private investigator who joined the Legion, Marmon learned that some time before Bielak's body was found in a ditch north of Mon- roe, Mich, his discharge had been sought by three Legionnaires.
 The three, representing themselves as a labor committee, demanded the discharge of five Hudson Motor Go. employees on charges of "commun- ism. One of these. Marmon sad his informant told him, was Bielak.

said the liberals would not distin- gtiish between the District of Colum- bia law and the New York law aH the sole basis of decision.
 T attach little importance to the fact that the earlier statute was aimed only at a starvation wage and that the present one does not pro- hibit such wage unless 1t is also less than the reasonable value of the service" Stone wrote.
 "gince neither statute compels en- pigment at any wage, I do not as- suEne that employers in one case, more than in the other, would pay tho minimum wage if the service were worthless.
 "The vague and general pro- l1ouncement of the 14th amendment against deprivation of liberty with out due process of law is @ liynita- ton of legislative power, and not Q formula for its exercise.
 Tt does not purport to say in what particular method that power shall be exerted. It makes no fine spun distinctions between methods which the legislature may and which 1t may not choose to solve 8 pressing problem of government"
 The majority opinion found there were two questions involved in the case.
 These were stated as:
 1. Whether the state may impose minimum wage rates for all compe- tent experienced women workers whom they may have in their serv- ice.
 2. whether the state has power similarly to subject to state-made wages all adult women employed in trade industry or business other than house or farm work.
 It held that these were the ques- lions decided in the 1923 case and which were found to be a restraint on the liberty of the individual un- der the 14th amendment.
 The decision appeared sweeping blow at any possible wage and hour legislation by either state or fed- eral government jointly or alone.

 Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Massa- chusetts, New Hampshire, New Jer- eey and Rhode Island.
