gle," he said, may hand over their industries to labor or the govern ment. This is patriotic. A stoppage is not"
 Points of Program Cardenas expressed the aims of his government in the following 14 points:
 1. The need for cooperation be- tween the government, and the factors entering into production, III order to resolve capitalist and la- bor problems.
 ?. The national convenience of creating single, unified association of industrial workers in order to end the fight between the various un- Ions.
 3. The government is the arbiter and regulator of social life.
 {. Assurance that the demands of the workers will always be con- sidered in the light of industry's economic possibilities. s. Assurance that Cardenas will not favor any particular union but labor as whole. 6. Complete prohibition of com pany unions.
 '. Industrialists have the same right as laborers to organize nation al associations.
 8. The government is interested in the increase of industry, as the public administration depends or taxes for it's support.
 g. Communist Nuclei are not thC cause of social agitation. These con. stitute an uninfluential minority Agitations arise from the existenct of justified aspirations and necessi. Fties of the working masses and iron lack of enforcement of the labol 1 laws.
 10. The presence of small com munist groups is not new phenom' erlon, neither is it exclusive to oul country. Small communist minori' ties exist in Europe, in the Unitet States and in all countries of thu globe. Their action in Mexico is no dangerous to our institutions. Thel do not alarm the government. Nei' tIer should they alarm the industri' alists. ysM
 | il. Fanatics who assassinate pro- fesscrs; fanatics who oppose them selves to enforcement of the law and of the revolutionary program cause more harm than communists and yet we have to tolerate them.
 12. The recent industrialist situ ation was mot confined to Monter' rey but had rarnifications in othel important centers of the republic such as La La0una, Leon, the fed eraI district, Puebla and xucatan.
 IS. The indastrialist class mus be very careful that their agitation do not convert themselves into political issue. because this wouls lead to armed struggle.
 14. Industrialists wh ofeel them selves fatigued because of the so ciaI struggle may hand over thei industries to labor or the govern meht. This is patriotic. A stoppag is not" .

|ELVA STATLER GUESTS CALLED.
Those Present at HOney., moon Were Summoned
 to Tell About Death
BY JAMES s. BEALLE (Iynifed Press Staff COrrespOndent ]

I tUUht0W EEG33 0tMu NWNAGoRWAANSaAsV
 Carthage, N. C., Feb. 12.-CUP)-- Elva Statler Davidson'S guests in her honeymoon cottage the night of her mysterious death a year ago were summoned to testify today in the fight to break the will by which she left her fortune to her newly acquired husband.
 The assailants of the $500yO0O will summoned MT. and Mrs. Curtis Campaigne, of Montclair, N. J., who were house guests of MT. and Mrs. H. Bradley Davidson on the night before carbon monoxide fumes killed Mrs. Davidson, the former Elva Statler, in her garage.
 The English-born socialites may be able to tell the jury of farmers hearing the case why the heiress to the estate of E. M. Statler, hotel magnate, kept constantly on a round of Pinehurst night clubs 8 few hours before 8 negro butler discovered her, dead. Campaigne is the American representative of a famous English cosmetics concern.
 He and Mrs. Campaigne retired just before dawn and left Elva and her husband, twice her age, in Q friendly dispute that all were laugh ing about.
 Then Elva and her husband went to bed in separate rooms of their cottage. The heiress had discarded her flashy evening gown on the floor of her boudoir and donner other attire-an old brown skirt, sweater, and mules. She wore no undergarments Attired in that out fit, her body, "superficially" bruised, was found sprawled across the run- |, ming board of her 12-cylinder auto- mobile.
 Other witnesses to be called in the third day of the hearing in- clude a waiter who said he saw Elvas cheeks wet with tears, and an accordionist, who refutes that story. She smiled, the accordionist said, as he played the tunes she requested.
 Six Hour Quereis Prof. w. Barton Leach of Har- Ndlu uAAAVCIo4typ WAiO SOuAioCAS0 tkbS heiress in many of her social, TO- mantle, private and business af- fairs, answered questions for six hours. Attorneys accused him of being "in on" an alleged conspiracy to persuade Elva to shut off her foster relatives from the bequests of her foster father.
 It was Elva's own idea to cut off her foster relatives, he said, be- cause they were adequately pro- vided for" in legacies of the hotel magnate's millions.
 The three persons attempting to break the william adopted son of Statler, the infant son of another adopted. son who is dead, and a girlhood friend of Mrs. Davidson contend that Davidson and Leach "wrongfully" influenced the heiress to change her will shortly before she died, less than two months after her wedding way.

Non Eknncisco, Feb. l2-(UP)-- Authorities disclosed today the de- tailed operation Of c counterfeitina ring from headquarters behind the Icrboding walls Of san quentin pris- Nn in San Francisco bay.
 Capt Thomas D. Foster, head of the local secret service unit, said Ihe ring used the prison photo-en- Frnving and printing shops to NlauiIfacture t10 bank notes. Three pQroied co1vlcts were in custody, Q prison guard was sought, and more arrests were considered likely.
 The spurious bills were said to have had extensive circulation.
 Thomas Bell, a, San Rafael plumbing shop employe paroled from San quentin in June, 1885. after serving time for drunken driv- Ing and manslaughter, was the first arrested.
 He Implicated Dan Wilson, 36, San Francisco, who was paroled in May, 3o35, after Q five year burglary term. Wilson confessed that he was the ebrains" of the ring.
 0. L. Parr, 3o, was arrested in Sacramento when Wilson said he had received 3s counterfeit bills from him. Parr was paroled last September after Q two year term epr arson.
 The "break" in the case came after c four months investigation which extended from San Francisco 70 Seattle. On October 2S, last year, . spurious note on the Federal Re- serve Bank of New York was passed in Seattle. Investigation revealed nothing until last New Years Eve when Q celebrant who rode in Ii different taxis paid of the drivers with $l0 bills. Agents learned the man was Wilson.
 They also learned that Wilson had gone to Sacramento the following day, purportedly to split the pro- ceeds of his nights operations with

aid in the Hauptmann case. I have just had an extended conference with Mrs. Hauptmann at my ofice, have made clear to her in plain English under what conditions will consent to be identified with her husbands case.
 T do not propose to enter this case in order to play a game of legal chess to save Bruno from the chair. Any person with the least bit of dis cernment can place little credence in the fish stories told in Bruno's behalf from the witness stand in the Pennington courtroom. By the same token there was much pro- duced by the prosecution that smells to high heaven.
 Must Tell Truth
 "The best advocate that Bruno can retain at this crucial moment is Bruno Richard Hauptmann himself. He must make up his mind to tell the truth and all of 1t.
 T am going to see him in the death house. and he must tell me the whole truth, let the chips fall where they mayor I will not lift a finger in his behalf. The conten- tion that this was @ one man job is sheer nonsense. Perhaps Bruno can supply answers to the perplex- ing questions in the case. shall make every endeavor to prevail upon him to do what Gov. Hotf- man (Gov. Harold G. Hoffman ol New Jersey) has asked him to do Therein lies his only possible sal vation from death in Trenton's electric chair"
 Leibowitz was expected to go tc Trenton tomorrow for the death house interview with Hauptmann. Who Lieb0witz Is The son of Roumanian irnmi- grant, Liebowitz, at 43, has had ar unusual career. After long years oi defending the most bizarre assort- ment of homicidal suspects in New York courts he stepped into national prominence in 1883 when the Inter- national Labor Defense retained him as chief counsel for the Scotts- boro defendants.
 Tn the face of death threats, Lieb- owitz insisted on defending the Negroes at Decatur, Ala, and al- though they were convicted anc sentenced to die he succeeded in as- sociation with Osmond Fraenkl ir obtaining @ new trial from the U. S. supreme court.
 Because Liebowitz has been the attorney in many cases rated con- siderable space by newspapers some critics contend he is @ publicity seeker. He has defended such char acters as Vincent Mad Dog) Coll Al Capone, The Breadknife Mur- deress", the "Gigolo Murder Wid- ow", the Mother Homo: Slayer" and ''The Bob- Haired Bandit.
 Liebowitz was born in Jassw, Rou- mania and came to this country when he was four. His father was pushcart peddler. He attended Jamaica high school and obtained his law degree at Cornell university in 1915.
 He is married and the father Of three children.

C0untenfeiting Ring Found Inside San Quentin Prison

Parr. But Parr received only e35, officers said they discovered, thus indicating a third man was in- volve6.
 Bell was ordered arrested when onlcers learned he was Q paroled convict and had access to the print shop and photo-engraving plants during his imprisonment.
 Bell fingered" Wilson and Wilson implicated Parr.
 Offlcers believed their case con- elusive when they found that each man at some time during detention either had access to the print shop and engraving plant or had been employed there. The belief was strengthened when Frank Sykes, president of the state prison board, and Warden B. Holohan discovered one of the bogus notes inside the prison.

ton in reversing the dred Scott decision, which led to the Civil war
 He argued that since the govern ment was largely responsible fol tremendous increases in crop produc. ton during the World war, 1t should now have authority to control pro. duction.
 Referring to the new soil conser- vation program now under consid- eration by congress, he said 1t was "a sincere effort to operate within the limitations laid down by the ma jority of the supreme court" in the AAA decision.
 Only Court Can Answer
 He pointed out, however, that only the supreme court itself can answer the question twill the plan meet with the approval of the supreme court?"
 We believe that the supreme court will approve the new legislation fl it recognizes any one of the three following propositions:
 q. The fact of the nationwide interdependence of all commerce from the humblest farm to the larg- est corporation.
 "2. The extent to which the doc. urine of states rights is being used as the final refuge for anti-socia corporations.
 8. Federal responsibility for oul postwar agricultural dilemma"
 He quoted a statement of former President Hoover, who while serv. ing as food administrator in 1917 asserted that "this country must ex. port 220, ,000, 900 bushels of wheat a: against our normal export of 88,. 100000 bushels" in order to help out the allies, as an example of how croI production was stepped up during the war.
 Norris Attacks.
 Washington, Feb. 12-(CP)-Sen George w. Norris, in voice tremb ling with emotion, called upon con gress today to restrict the power of the supreme court.
 The white-haired Nebraska re publican entered debate on the ad ministration's new farm bill with dramatic warning that the natiol faced destruction. unless its agri cultural problems were solved am that the supreme courts invalida ton of AAA could not stand if tn country is Ito live and prosper"
 The senate listened tensely a the veteran orator called upon tn chamber to "have the courage" t restrict the courts power to in validate laws enacted by congress.
 His outstretched arms trembled a he spoke and his voice cracked witl emotion.
 Norris declared that congres could. If 1t had the courage. provide that only by unanimous de cisions could the court overthrow acts Of congress.
 He attacked Q procedure by whicl 8 court serving for life and not re sponsible to any one. could in validate laws.
 Tt seems to me. MT. President that it is inexcusable." he said. T seems to me that this coordinat branch of our government has gon beyond any power that was eve contemplated in the constitution" !"
 Norris said that the courts de cision returning $200. 900, 900 in taxe to processors was "the greatest gif since God made salvation free aid remarked that "the people cal change congress-but only God cal change the supreme court"

Sag in Shipments
From May Level
ey the Associated Press.

ey ttie ASSOcldleQ freSS.
NEW YORK, July 10.-Finished
steel shipments of United States
Steel Corp. in June decreased 98,032
tons, compared with May, the corpo-
ration announced today.
They totaled 886,065 tons, against
9s4087 in May and 578,108 in June,
1885.
The June movement brought ship
ments for the first half of the year
to 5,031,350 tons. high record for
any like period since 1880. For the
1885 first half shipments amounted
to 3,553,999 tons.
In spite of the accelerated rate of
steel production in the last half Of
June, Wall Street quarters were pre-
pared for some recession from the
peak level of May. The corporation
was said to have carried into July
considerable tonnage on which June
shipment originally was contem-
plated
On basis of shipments for the first
half, financial quarters were more in
clined to credit current estimates that
the corporation would show some
earnings for the common stock for
the second quarter. In the March
quarter net profit was equal to "a
cents share of per cent cumulative
