WAGNER LABOR
 ACT DELAYED
Continued from Page 1o

Continued from Page 10 as well as that of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Owen J. Roberts to carry the court. Without Stones vote the nearest the court is likely to come to approving he act, even If Hughes and Roberts join the liberals, IS by four to four vote.
 Wagner Act Fest The Wagner Act test involves @ series of cases, two of which seem to involve interstate commerce di- rectly and five indirectly. In the latter case, which involves the ap- plication of the law to nanufactur- CTS, the lower courts condemned the law, so that c foar-to-fotlf af- flrmance of that opinion would make the statute imperative as far as manufacturers are concerned.
 Stone has been a strong dissenter to the conservative opinions of the court. He commented bitterly when the court condemned the Quffey Coal Control Act because of its ila- bor provisions.
 The interest which organized la- bor has displayed in the Wagner test cases makes them by far the most important to come before the court at this term.
 Govt Xn Vigorous Fight
 The administration has mapped Q vigorous fight to defend the author. ity of the board. Chairman J. War ren Madden of NLRB plans to make an unprecedented personal appear ance before the court to speak for the act.
 Fate of the statute will unques- tionably play . ninportant part in impending strikes now hanging over some of the great mas-production industries, including steel and auto- mobiles. The U. 8.

Besides the necessary musical

and former roommate of Thomp-

tn at on several occasions he
boarded Naval ships with Thomp-
son when the latter calmly
snatched papers off bulletin boards
and stole documents from officers
quarters.
Says He Barred Plot
Under the fire of cross-examina-
ton by ThompSon's attorney.
Turntine flared up and said that
he himself unfolded the startling
plot to staff officers of Admiral
Joseph Mason Reeves, then fleet
commander. He said:
Thompson told me that he
made the initial arrangements
for espionage work through the
japanese consulate in Los
Angeles. He said he was told
to write q certain address in
Washington, d. c.. and that
he did so. Washington told
him, he said, that man
would be sent here to con-
tact him. That man came.
I later met him under the
name of fanny"
Secret service men who also
testified in the trial, said that
fanny" was the name employed
by Commander Miyazaki, in his
dealings with Thompson.
Letter introduced
Over strenuous defense objec-
tions letter assertedly written by
fanny" to Thompson, was intro
duced as evidence. In the letter
fanny" thanked Thompson for
receipt of destroyer schedules
and told him he had a perma-
nent job at 5000 a month, with
bonus on Christmas.
San Francisco bankers were
called to the stand to testify
that Miyazaki opened accounts
there and deposited checks drawn
on the Imperial Japanese Navy
and that he wrote checks to
Thompson.
Federal prosecutors said today
they would call Janet Ono, pretty
japanese waitress and long
sought as the mystery woman"
in the case. The prosecutors have
announced that she has been
exonerated of any completely in
! the plot, but stated she was
friendly with Thompson.

Him, Cut That OUT
As He Sought Kiss

Madge Reed.

of slender, young Grace Yarnal,
of Colorado Springs, Col, first
cousin of Winona Wallace James.
the red-haired BARRIERS fifth wife,
who was found drowned in a bath

automobile accident, which the

Miss Reed has told investigators
that James proposed marriage TO
her one week after the nearly
nude body of Mary James was
found in fishpond in her honey
moon cottage where James as
sertedly flung her.
Sheer on Lips
Through all the testimony
against him, James sat sullenly
in court, a slight sheer at times
curling his lip. He remained sill
ent, but his attorneys have before
the court a petition that certain
prisoners be called TO show that
James was subjected to undue
duresS after his arrest
Concentrating on the informal
charge that James murdered
Winona in an insurance plot, the
prosecution yesterday called sew

Landslide for Landon
Predicted in Speech
at Chicago

CHICAGO, July 3 G.N.S0.--
With barbed jibes at "JobmaSter
General Farley" and the Roosevelt
administration and a plea for the
establishment of a govern
ment of laws which alone can as,
sure the permanence of American
institutions and guarantee equal
ity of justice and opportunity"
John D. M. Hamilton, chairman
of the Republican national com
mittee. had formally launched the
midweStern campaign for the pres
idential election of Governor AL
fred M. Landon here today.
Speaking at a testimonial din
ner attended by more than 5000
persons, Hamilton was wildly
cheered last night when he pre-,
dicted the election of Landon and
Knox "by landslide vote"
Platforms Compared
Comparing the Republican and
Democratic platforms he said:
"Three weeks ago the Republi-
can delegates prepared and
adopted a straightforward plat
form with specific suggestions
for solving the problems of our
times and expressing the con-
victiOn that the American peO-
pie are still capable of govern
ing themselves.
Zone week ago the Philadel-
phia convention ratified char
ter of personal government
which sought to conceal rec
ord that could not be justified
and to extend for an indefinite
period the irresponsible powers
of a centralized executive.
"The reactions of the voters
during the past few weeks have
already shown how they assess
the character of the two parties
as shown by their conventions,
their platforms, their state
ments and their candidates.
During the past few weeks thou
sands of letters have been pour
ing into national headquarters
pledging allegiance to the Re
publican party in the coming
campaign"
FINANCIAL AID
"And since the convention
thousands of dollars in one dollar
bills have been received by the
national treasurer. There,
may say, are contributions which
were not solicited by post masters
or any other government en-
plOyeS, but have been spontane-
OuSly given by the rank and file
voters for the purpose of aiding
this campaign to be the kind of
which Governor LandOn spoke
when he said, weeks before the
convention, I believe that a
presidential campaign can be
made a great means Of public
education, one that will inform
the public and give the people a
chance to study and understand
what the real issues are
ut is that kind of campaign
which we propose to carry for
ward"

the Republican finance committee
for Illinois.
