Albert Adams, ST., Macon,
Believed Deranged

MACON, Ca, Jan. 16. (UP)-
Albert Adams, Sr., 43, prominent
Macon insurance man, turned his
quiet home into a bloody shambl-
es yesterday when he killed his
two daughters before fatally
turning his gun on himself.
Quietly calling his daughters,
Helen, 8, and Emma, 16, into the
bathroom of the Adams home. the
middle-aged businessman killed
both with two blasts from an
automatic shotgun.
Then he walked downstairs and
told his wife of his act. When she
fled the home in hysterical terror,
Adams turned the shotgun on
himself, killing himself almost
instantly.
Notes left by Adams, Police
said, indicated he had become
temporarily deranged. Among five
notes, they said, were references
which indicated he may have plan
ned to kill others.
Apparently carefully planning
the act, he left one note address
ed to Coroner l.. H. Chapman.
81 have committed murder and
am ending my life" it said.
Another note was addressed to
the wife, couched in endearing
terms Two were written for bus
mess associates and the fifth to
"Whom 1t May Concern.
Mrs. Adams, almost Frustrated
by the shock, was under medical
attention. The tradegy reduced
her family of five members to
only herself and a son, Albert, a
student at Emory University at
Atlanta.

transactions with belligerent ma
tions.
The modification consisted of
adding provision "that the Unit
ed States reserve and reaffirm its
rights under international law as
they existed prior to August 1,
1914"
Under the freedom of the
seas" policy the United States
maintained its right to trade with
belligerents and to use its navy
to enforce the policy. Some OBJ
servers, including senators inter
ested in neutrality, held that this
policy was responsible for getting
us into the War of 1912 and help
ed draw us into the World War.
Following enactment of the
temporary neutrality law last SEES
sion President Roosevelt warned
citizens that any trade with bel
ligerents must be carried on at
their own risk. Observers SAID
this virtually abandoned the old
theory of freedom of the seas,
which had been our policy for 14o
years.
Today's amendment was to re-
iterate claims to neutrality rights
under international law but to
avoid permitting citizens to call
on the Government to enforce
them in a situation which might
draw US into war.
Chairman Key Pittman, d.,
New, explained it this way:
"a citizen carrying goods at
his own risk may be stopped from
calling on the navy to protect him
but this does not deprive the Gov
eminent on its own Initiative
from using any power it has to
enforce its rights under interna-
tional law"
Legislative action on the Sen
ate side of the capitol was con-
fined to committees. The Senate
itself was not in session. 1t has
held only two brief business SEES
sions since hearing President
Roosevelt's budget message and
will not get down to work until
tomorrow, when leaders will call
up the bonus bill for action.
In the house Chairman William
P. Connery, D., Mass, of the la
Dor committee, introduced a res
olution calling for an investiga--
ton of charges of favoritism and
misconduct in the Federal COM
munications commission.
Connery's resolution was d.
rected primarily at alleged "irre-
gularities in licensing stations and
the allotment of wave lengths.
He complained that labor, veter-
ans and non-profit organizations
were denied time on the radio.
He also recalled the commissions
failure to act on a request to re-
vote the licenses of stations which
broadcast Mexican goodwill
program on which, according to
Connery and group of represen-
tatives, an obscene song was sung
in Spanish. ..
The resolution followed recent
charges that two unidentified per-
sons were alleged to have been
overheard in a hotel discussing
wave length allotments in lam
guage indicating they had con-
sidered offering a bride to some
unnamed member of the FEC.
The member was not present and
has not been named.
Other developments:
Rep. William Lemke, R., N. D.,
pleaded before the house for sig
natures on a petition to force a
vote on his inflationary $4,000
100000 farm refnanicing bill.
He has 200 signatures, and needs
218. Administration leaders have
consistently fought to prevent the
bill from being voted on.

Mrs. Hardie Meakin was there, how
ever, in a new dress and bonnet, and
afterward Robert Hussey of Columbia

Cazenova dance floor and after that
there were other places to be seen,
such as the Seven Seas, where they

good old-fashioned rainstorm behind
