JORDAN GIVEN
DEATH STAY

Doomed to the electric chair
on January 8, for the murder Of
Mrs. Elizabeth Jayne, in the Gar.
den T-Shoppe robbery five years
ago, Thomas Jordan, 30-year-old
restaurant bus boy, was given a
stay of execution until February
10 today by United States District
Court Justice Peyton Gordon.
Jordan originally was sentenced
to die on December II, but his
attorneys, Harry T. Whelan and
William B. O'Connell, obtained
stay until their appeal, attacking
the constitutionality of the Dis
trict jury law, could be heard in
the United States Supreme Court.
In another case in which the
same question was involved, the
highest court upheld the validity
of the law. The present stay was
granted to enable COUNSEL RI make
4 plea for executive clemency.

seems to be the battle cry once
more, with England taking the

the old cruisers scheduled to 60,

it looks as if arms limitation will
be confined strictly to the Venus

Young Rancher
Kills Himself

The third of series of tragedies
that have taken the lives OF four
Coolidge citizens within the past
few weeks occurred early last Sun
day morning when Debbs Payne
killed himself in the family home
two miles east of Coolidge.
The rancher who would have
been q years old the % or June
had he lived, went to his home from
a Coolidge dance in a car with
three other people, one Of them his
wife. While on the way home he
removed the shoe and sock from his
right foot, and upon arriving at the
family home he rushed into the
house, grabbed shotgun and
practically blew the left side OF
his head off by one discharge OF
the weapon. He is supposed to
have contemplated the deed while
en- route to his home, and 1t Is be-
lieved he pulled the trigger of the
shotgun by use of the big toe.
When Payne got out OF the car
and rushed into the house his wife,
Mrs. Stella Mae Payne, screamed.
someone go in there and take the
gun away from Debbs." But be-
fore anyone could get inside the
house the tragedy was enacted al
most within view of Mrs. Payne. 1t
has been stated that Payne had pre-
viously intimated he would kill him.

Coolidge Cowboy
Submits A Plan

"The Tie That Binds" is the title
of a 125-page book written by
Charles L. Maben, of Coolidge,
that has found it's way to The
Examiner.
'"Only the thoughts of d cow
boy as he makes the long circle
a cowpuncher's political philDso-
ply" are the words used on the
outside cover under the caption to
give the reader some idea of what
to expect.
"The book is dedicated to com
bining the interests of all common
people in common political
cause" declares the author.
Maben Prorate Plan clubs are
being formed. 1t is announced in
the book that "as a non-partisan
club, members are enrolled without
taking issue against their party.
Their signature in the files of the
Maben Club simply signify that they
are interested in the legislation
proposed in the Maben Plan"
The book is written in cowboy
language" declares Mr.. Maben, "be-
cause if it was written in legal
language the average educated per-
son would not know what it was all
about"
Limited space forbids extended
mention of the Maben Plan at this
time, but The Examiner will give
more details at some other time.

ing invaded the office of the P. w.
Hamilton Lumber Company with
fear and trembling. We had In
advertently ommitted their adj
vertisement from the June 26 issue

Mr.. Hamilton greeted us with a
smile, and kept on smiling even
after we had confessed to the omis-
sion, and when The Examiner sug-
gested that "it's too hot to fight it
out" Mr.. Hamilton came back with:
fighting is the last resort with us,
the same as it is with our Govern
ment; there are so many better
ways to settle entanglements and
disagreements that fighting should
become obsolete"
Mr.. Hamilton reports business at
present "very good" with "pros.

Resettlement Setup
Reliving Distressed
RuSl Folk In Utah

Berkeley, July 2-Primitive liv-
ing conditions in drought1stricken
areas of Utah will be corrected by
a Resettlement Administration pro-
iect which calls for the relocation
of 100 stranded families on in
dividual farms where they will be
able to earn their livelihood.
Jonathan Garst. Resettlement Ad-
ministration director for Utah, Ari-
zona, California and Nevada, an
nounced this week $915,000 has
been allocated for this purpose and
for the purchase of an additional
1000 acres of submarginal land in
Utah.
A land use adjustment study of
one problem area disclosed that
1920 is the average annual income
of farm families and that many of
them are reduced to the use of
ta1low candles for household light
ing. Children are obliged to go
barefoot until cold weather sets in.
Telephones and other modern
necessities are practically un-
known, the report declared.
Once a lively agricultural trad
ing center serving 1900 families,
the town of Widtsoe in Johns Val
ley, one of the problem areas,
has been abandoned. Only SO
families remain in the valley, which
is 18 miles north of Bryce Canyon,
National Park. A majority Of the
families were forced to go on re-
lief.
Failure of the water supply, COM
bined with the short frost-free
growing season, is blamed for the
failure of agriculture in this region,
the attitude of which is more than
1000 feet. One farmer reported he
was able to obtain but one potato
crop out of II paintings, due to
frost and lack of water.
Project plans call for the pur-
chase of 100 farm units totalling
about 6400 acres. These will be
selected in various parts of the
state where good land is available.
Families resettled on the units will
be supplied with the necessary
farming equipment. They will
purchase the land from the govern
ment on long-term contracts.
Submarginal land purchased from
the settlers by the government
; will be returned to grazing. the
use to which 1t was put before the
coming OF the settlers.
