CONFERENCE ORGANIZED

Executives of Four States and
D. c. Meet Here-G. c. Jennings
Permanent Chairman.
Parole executives OF the District,
Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey met at the Justice De-
pertment yesterday to organize the
Mid-Atlantic Parole Conference. Will
bur LaRoe, jr., chairman of the Dis
trict Parole Board, presided.
"The conference was q distinct sue
cess said LaRoe. 1T was especially
helpful to our board because we have
not yet brought our system in the
District to the state of efficiency that
has been obtained in other jurisdic-
tions"
George c. Jennings, chief parole Of
flcer of New York State, was elected
permanent chairman, and st. Alban
Kite, assistant parole director OF New

The organization is one Of number
Of regional groups cooperating with

Gus phases Of the parole problem were

but opponents are talking Of going
on indefinitely
An indication that the hearings were
nearing an end was seen in q revival
Of speculation over what strategy will
be followed when the committee goes
into executive session.
Oppose Compromise Amendments.
Opposition leaders were talking of
opposing all amendments to the bill
which tend toward compromise In
order to force the issue on the meas
ure as it stands.
They contended that to add two
members to the court would be as
much a violation Of principle as to
add six and that 1t would be easier
to beat the six proposed in the Presi-
dents bill.
Attempts TO approve constitutional
amendment ahead Of the court bill
were still being discussed, but some
committee members forecast these
would meet with little success.
At yesterday afternoons committee
hearing Dean William E. Masterson of
the University OF Missouri School of
Law said the bill would mean an
"autocratic state"
The committee earlier had received
= letter from James r. Angell presi-
dent OF Yale University, saying the bill
involves "ravaging Of the court" and
that no judiciary made up of political
suoet otntn at
f1dence and respect"
Meanwhile, the court issue bobbed
up on the floors of both houses OF
Congress.
Many Delays Requested.
In the Senate, Austin Of Vermont,
making one of the FIRST Republican
attacks on the BILL said many Of the
delays in the procedure of the Su-
preme Court were requested by the
Justice Department and hardly re-
suited from congestion Of the docket
In the House. Representative Eaton,
Republican. Of New Jersey spoke re-
sentfully OF a statement which he at
tributed TO "St. James Farley" that
I'VE will call the roll after the Senate
and the House get through talking"
Members of the House, he added, will
get orders to "vote the way you are
commanded or else" He asked that
the House cease being \ rubber
stamp"
About the same time, Postmaster
General Farley, in talk with re-
porters, reiterated previous predic-
ton that there will be enough votes
to pass the Presidents bill without
compromise.
Last night Representative Drewry of
Virginia, chairman Of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee, de-
livered radio speech saying the bill
was neither necessary nor expedient,
and, in addition, it establishes a dan
gerous precedent"
Representative Scott, Democrat, OF
California, in another radio speech,
said the court proposal OF the Presi-
dent would result in "a Supreme Court
composed OF men enlightened enough
to see the power that the trainers put
into the Constitution"
Mssterson Outspoken.
Masterson proved one of the most
outspoken witnesses to appear in the
committees five weeks of hearings.
The President wishes a court whose
mind will 60 along with him." he said.
If he is given the power that he now
seeks he will be in position, for the
most part. to create such q court. 1t
cannot be denied that he will be able
to place six men on the Supreme
Court whose minds will 60 along with
his if they are not actually pledged to
do so. Likewise, a Senate that would

BELGIUM FACES
POLITICAL CRISIS
Premier Van iceland Is op-
posed by De GreIIe for
Seat in Chamber.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Belgium. April 10.
Final lines were drawn today in
small bye-election which may decide
the political destiny of Belgium.
Battling for seat in the Chamber
OF Representatives, Premier Paul Van
iceland closed his election compaign
against youthful Leon de Grelle, mill
tant leader Of the Rexists, party Of
the extreme right, while police pa
trolled the city to prevent disorders
previous to the voting Sunday.
De Grelle challenged the 42-year-
old prime minister to the contest when
the resignation of a Rexist member
left a Chamber seat vacant.
Every one Of Brussels 368, sos voters
must declare themselves, for voting is
compulsory Non-voters are punish
able by fines.
Van iceland, in a campaign he con-
Quoted quietly, accused De Grelle Of
promoting "Hitlerian Fascism" and
offered voters the choice of his own
clear and definite path, marked by
institutions centuries DID," or De
Grene's adventure fraught with
perils."
The Rexist leader, campaigning with
his customary vigor, declared Van
iceland as leader of the Catholic
party was In league with Communists
engaged in forming Popular Front
government"
In one Of his final speeches, De
Grelle offered what political observers
termed a truce with the Catholic
party, one of the most powerful blocs
supporting Van Iceland.
Most observers predicted Van Zee
lands election. 1t was believed the
size Of the vote each candidate amasses
will provide an index to the political
tide in Belgium.

Fear for the health of Queen Sakiko

Three ships, the Albatross, the Americus and Hispaniola are on the sea sailing for Liverpool, New York and Cherbourg but not respectively. They are commanded by Captains Brine, Tarr and Salt.
 A few months ago Captain Tarr was the guest of Captain Brine on the Albatross.
 The Hispaniola hit derelict on the last crossing and was in dry dock for seven weeks preceding this voyage.
 The Albatross has just passed the Americus in mid-ocean and shipped . stowaway back on the Americus.
 Mrs. Salt, who usually travels with her husband. was discharged yesterday from the hospital after weeks treatment for an illness which overcame her three days before they docked on the last voyage.
 The Captain of the Americus has . report which he will deliver to his Liverpool owners, Cartright & Smith, when he docks.
 What ship does Captain Tarr command and to what port is 1t bound?

CHAPTER VI

| StuarC BlaKe escorted CarOlee back part way up the trail toward l her home, after they had begged mid-afternoon lunch from the cook in Superstition Lodge. The danger over, both could laugh at their mountain adventure and enjoy the comradeship that the experience wrought.
 Carolee was afraid he would ask formally to call on her at her home on the high mesa That would never do, she knew, and he ought to realize it; he had discovered her family's hostility To forestall him she suggested meeting him - on signal - at the trysting place. She would hang out the white sheet when she could ride.
 When Stuart returned a second time to Superstition Lodge the hour was near sundown, and there was a hubbub of conversation on the front porch. One glance told him something had happened. His father was there, obviously ex- cited. But Nina greeted Stuart.
 "Dismount, buckaroo, and listen to the old scouts story" she called. Somebody's been shooting at dad"
 'Whoa. Whats matter? Who's done what?"
 MT. Blake, Sr., was serious about it, and agitated.
 0GAt11 aIAriy chnf of yroa fh{e v.AN,, up in the mountain" he explained "Three or four times. I might have been killed. I could hear the bullets, plopping right near me"
 Stuart was incredulous for a moment.
 Are you serious, dad3 Are you sure?"
 Certainly I'm sure! was just telling the folks here about it."
 '"The folks" included Nina Blake and half a dozen other lodge guests and employees who happened to be within hearing; even the old Indian women, who were eternally weav- ing baskets or molding pottery in the shade nearby, stopped to listen open-mouthed.
 That's about all there was to the story. MT. Blake re-told it dozen times. He had simply squatted be- hind rock for nearly an hour, badly frightened; then he had gone back to the glen where he had tied his horse, and hastened to return home. He had no idea who could have done the shooting. The bull lets came from across wide canyon evidently at considerable range.
 Stuart remembered his own ex- perience with Carolee and warned his dad against getting lost, but the father had been on higher attitudes where the going was less blocked by brush. Besides, he was a keener observer than his chill dren, he informed them; he could backtrail.
 Stuart decided immediately that the Golfer men had done the shooting.
 He mentioned that fact to his father, and the latter partially agreed. Still. there would seem to be no logical reason for it. The Golfers might harbor emnity for Stuart, following the episode in the Phoenix store, but hardly for Stuart's father.
 MT. Blake pointed out that the store incident had been trivial in the first place. But the Golfers AkAy1A 1eIx tt-1r hence likely to do fool things. And on top of all that, they were out after gold and suspicious of anyone who tried to thwart them. They may have thought MT. Blake was trying to spy on them.
