R F n 7 KILLING
BEFORE JURY

Recital Of the tragic story lead
ing up to the fatal shooting last
Friday night of Ray E. Childress,
taxicab driver and father of five
small children, in a dispute over
$11 rent, was begun today at a
coroner's inquest.
Policeman William j. Webb of
the Second precinct, told the jury
that the landlord, Donald K. Stan
ton, SO New York Ave. N. E., de-
clared in statement he had gone
to police headquarters and talked
to Detective-Sergeant jeremiah
Flaherty about evicting Childress.
Flaherty advised Stanton, accord
ing to Webbs testimony, to lock
3le apartment door when the Chill
dress family was out, and if any
member of the family broke in,
Stanton would have police action.
When ChildreSs crashed through
the bolted door, Stanton, according
to his statement given to Webb,
grabbed for revolver he had laid
on the mantle, and fired one shot.
AS ChildreSs continued to advance,
Stanton emptied the gun, he said
in his statement to Webb.
Sergeant Flaherty told the jury
he told Stanton to lock the door
but not to board it up. Albert A..
Stern, counsel for Stanton, at
tempted to show the jury that self
defense was Stanton's motive in
shooting.

Declaring it is vital that the

wage laws for women be de-
termined speedily the State OF
Massachusetts, today urged the
Supreme Court to rehear the
New York minimum wage law
case.
Attorney General Paul A.
Dever, of Massachusetts, pointed
out that his State has mini.
mum wage law for women and
children similar to the New York
law.
The high courts five to four
decision of last June, Dever said
was based upon the ground that
the high court decision in the
Adkins case had not been ques
toned.
Baded On d. C. Cae
In the Adkins case the high
court IL years ago held invalid
a District of Columbia minimum
wage law. The Massachusetts
petition said:
1.-THE opinion in the present
case may be either an affirma-
tive of the Adkins case, because
no review of that decision was
understood to be sought, or it
may be that the pertinent prin-
ciples of governing the prior
decision were held to be the
governing principles in the case
at bar.
"The majority opinion may
rest upon the proposition that
the Adkins case was correctly
decided because no one queS-
toned that it was not, or it
may rest upon that decision be
cause the court found that it
was sound.
even IL it were sound when
it was rendered some IL years
ago, is it still considered to be
sound when the factual back
ground is at present entirely
different from what it was IL
years ago, and when the law
has since developed to meet

An eight months term of the
Supreme Court, which may pro-
duce decisions vital both to the
Roosevelt Administration and the
States, was opened today as huge
red velvet curtains were drawn
aside and Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes mounted the bench.
Despite the fact that only pre-
liminary matters were to be con-
sidered in brief session, the high
Vaulted courtroom was crowded.
In a 30-minute session, the high
court admitted 40 lawyers, who
paid $500 in fees to practice in the
court. Among them was Mrs. Lucy
C. Moore, a Government employe,
who is but % years of age. She is
the youngest woman to be admit
ted to practice in the high court.
Chief Justice Hughes announced
that the court will take this week
to pas son many petitions before 1t.
The court is expected to announce
on next Monday whether Or not 1t
will review many New Deal laws
which are under attack.
The nine justices appeared to be
in good health. Justice Louis D.
Brandies, who will soon be 80,
mounted the bench with slow but
firm step. Chief Justice Hughes
spoke in clear, crisp tones, which
indicated that he had lost none OF
his vigor.
The ruddy face Of Justice George
Sutherland contrasted Sharpely
with the pallid complexion Of JUS
tice Benjamin Cardoza. Both, how
ever, are said to be in good health.

Ickes based his charge on a state,

bills. IckeS said:
"Such an attack upon a wise

"The new law diScOurageS the

from 1920 to 1885 actually re-

holders. Apparently nearly all
Of these permits were obtained
for speculation and not for pros

FORCED
TO DENY AID

Already carrying a peak load,
family welfare agencies affiliated
with the Community Chest are
being forced to turn away persons
in need, Herbert L. Willet, jr., di'
rector of the Chest, has revealed
He said that taking on an add
tional family at this time merely
means that some other family
equally worthy Of relief, must be
dropped. He said:
Last year the Chest asked for
what a budget committee of lead
ing citizens determined was
fair amount of its IS agencies.
In view of the abnormal relief
situation that developed about
that time and acting on the sug-
gestiOn of Commissioner George
E. Allen and Campaign Chair
man william Mcclellan, the
Chest sought an additional 300,
about 100000, strictly for re-
lief. The Chest did not reach its
original goal, which means that
agencies cannot take care of
their normal relief demands and
cannot meet abnormal de-
mands."

While America floundered in the

Seventy-Fourth Congress recently

Few itizens noted and probably
fewer regretted-its passing. But
they should have noted it. For the
Seventy-Fourth Congress had done
many things which will have a pro-
found and lasting effect on the av-
erage American and his pocket
book.
Here's part of the record:
It appropriated almost Twenty
Billion Dollars of the public's mon
ey.
It boosted the federal debt to
Thirty-four Billion Dollars-accord-
ing to statisticians, an all-time high
It passed numerous acts which the
Supreme Court has decided vio-
late the Constitution.
It greatly increased the number
of appointed boards and bureaus
and committees which so frequent

It engaged in many other activ-
tiles some commendable some not
But to the great majority Of
American workers and earners, the
new records reached In spending
public funds and in tinkering with
our Constitutional rights represent
the most significant Of recent Con-
gressional activities.
Why?
Because when congress spends
federal funds. It's actually spending
our money. We, the people. have to
meet both principal and interest.
When congress ignores the Fed
era1 Constitution, It's actually ig-
noring our Constitution. It's the
peoples Bill Of Rights.
OF their amazing record, menu
bers Of the 18th Congress may or
may not be proud. In either event,
they can have the credit, while we,
the people. pay the bills whether
in reduced incomes. in expanded
public debt, or in the loss Of Hber-
ties guaranteed under the Consti-
tuition.
