MILITARY DISPLAY BANNED.
Quiet Observance in Provinces-Hitle
to Speak Tonight.

tCopyright. 1896, by the Associated Press J
FRANKFORT-ON-M MAIN, Germany,
March 16.-The remilitarized Rhine
land celebrated "arr, day." the first
anniversary of German rearmament
in defiance of the Versailles treaty,
with observance of the symbolic"
character of the troop occupation now
10 days old.
Military pomp was banned. Parades
were sketchy. No display of air power
took place at the airdrome. though a
squadron of small scouting planes was
drawn up before the hangers.
The mild ess of the observance was
due in part to the dampening influence
of the international situation.
The deliberate emphasis on the
symbolic" character of the military
occupation, so characterized by
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler a week
ago last Saturday. led to the can
collation. of a big-scale troop review
scheduled for today.
It would have been the first of its
kind here since 1914.

Allen came forward and handed
the papers to Black as photographers
flashed their lights and clicked shut

accepted the subpoena.
Schwellenbach thereupon pade the
following statement:
There has just been served on the
chairman of this committee a. sub
poena by William Randolph Hearst,
the purpose Of which is to prevent the
committee from proceeding with its
work.
This work to date has shown that
$3,500,000 were spent by the public

IF the utilities, Hearst, the Ameri-
can Liberty League and other special
interests who have engaged in the
campaign to defeat legislation should
succeed in their effort to prevent this
committee from proceeding with its

such interests to come into court and

WORK INSURANCE
LAW HELD invalid
New York Statute Ruled Ar.
bitrary Transfer Of Prop.
erty to Another.
BY the Associated Press.

ALBANY, N Y, March 16.-Su-
preme Court Justice Pierce H. Rus
sell today held unconstitutional the
! New York State unemployment insur-
ance law.
The judge refused to grant an in
junction asked by the Associated In
dustries of New York State, however.
He said he did not wish to stop the
States Job insurance machinery from
operating until the States highest
court, the Court of Appeals. has passed
on the laws constitutionality.
A case involving constitutionality
Of the law Is before the Court of
Appeals.
In his opinion, Justice Russell said:
"It is my opinion that the COM
pulsory contribution by an employer
to be paid as an unemployment insur-
ance benefit to an employe of an
other is without validity under our
system of government and constitutes
unwarranted. unreasonable and arbi-
trary transfer of the property of one
to another in violation of the due
process clause of the Constitution. "
Railroad Case Cited.
the basis of the United States Supreme
Courts decision in the Railroad Re
tirement Board case.
"As the courts of this State are
bound to follow such decisions, in
cases where its Interpretation Of the
Constitution applies, then it is decisive
upon the validity Of the unemploy-
ment insurance law of this State"
he wrote.
William j. Picard. deputy State
Industrial commissioner, said the
case would "be carried to the United
States Supreme Court, if necessary"
I'VE already have decision from
the Supreme Court at Syracuse that
the law is constitutional, Picard said.
This means that there are two
different interpretations, evidently
based on two different points of law"
New York's job insurance law is
closely similar to the national law.
8 Per Cent of Rolls Asked.
The New York law required the
payment. beginning March l, 1886,
Of contributions equal to per cent
of pay rolls, except that in 1886 the
contributions are only per cent. and
in 1887 2 per cent.
The law applies to employers who
hire four or more persons.
Benefits become payable March /,
1898.
Justice Russell said the State con-
tended that industry creates unem-
ployment and that therefore industry
should pay toward the cost of miti-
eating it.
IT do not agree" he said, with
the premise that unemployment is
caused by the omission of any legal
duty or the commission of any wrong
by industry as such or that the bur-
den to maintain a condition of en-
ployment is one that industry assumes
and must discharge ..
Industry lives and thrives on en-
ployment of its workers. It dries up
and dies when its condition precludes
the employment of workers, and when
1t is so burdened by exactions that
its condition demands such preclusion,
then loss and misfortune follow both
to it and its employees"

CITIZENS ASK
MEAT PLANT

Secretary Of the Interior 1ckes
will be asked to withdraw his objec-
ton to the opening Of a meat
products manufacturing plant at
3737 Benning Rd. N. E.
At a special meeting last night,
the Benning Citizens Association
unanimously adopted a resolution
endorsing reopening Of the plant,
and appointed committee headed
by President Frank James to call
on the Secretary.
Secretary Ickes had objected to
the reopening of the plant because
of a new low-cost housing project
in the neighborhood.
At the Citizens Association
meeting, however, it was pointed
out that the plant would be oper-
ated under the supervision OF the
Department of Agriculture, and
also that no fertilizer would be
manufactured there.
The plant was closed five years
ago and now the Adolph Goebel
Packing Company is seeking per-
mission to reopen it and also to
erect a new building.
Yesterday Justice Joseph w.
Cox, of United States District
Court, ordered the District Com
missioners to show cause why the
company should not be given q
permit to reopen the plant and

BOSTON, Oct. 20 G.N.S0.-Ex,
pecting to find the torso Of Grayce
Griffin ASquith, slain widow whose
legs were found fortnight ago in
Boston Harbor, police today pre-
dicted a surprise solution" to her
murder.
They said they had new evidence
that the widows friend, Albert
Lyons, wartime aviator, had been
warned to keep away from the
widow and feared for his life when
he went to her cottage the last
time, September 10.
Lyons disappeared at the same
time the widow did.
Find Two Bags
Two burlap bags, similar to that
in which one leg of Mrs. Asquith's
body was found, were discovered
on the mud flats Of harbor cove
by clam diggers today.
At the same time, Mrs. Isabel
Brennan reported to police that
she had seen a human head bob
bling on the surface Of the cove
last Wednesday while she was
searching for her small son. In
her anxiety over the boys absence,
Mrs. Brennan said, she forgot to
notify authorities at the time.
Weighted With Stones
Authorities believed the bags
discovered today may have con-
tanned the torso Of the slain
woman. Both sacks had been
weighted with stones.
Victor Davidson, 10, Of Quincy,
said that he saw a torso afloat
in Rock Island Cove while he
was picking up driftwood. Police
were dredging there. They said
they not only expected to find
the missing parts of the slain
woman's body, but also the body
of Lyons, whom they believe was
murdered also.
