punishment by fine of not more than
$500 or imprisonment for not more
than 80 days.
Discussing its refusal to allow Miss
Clawans jury trial, the Supreme
Court said
IT we look to the standard which
prevailed at the time Of the Consti-
tuition, we find that confinement for
a period of 80 days or more was not
an unusual punishment for petty
offenses tried without jury.
Laying aside those for which the
punishment was of a type no longer
commonly employed, such as whip
ping, confinement in stock and the
like, and others, punished by COM
mitment for an indefinite period, we
know that there were petty offenses,
triable summarily under English
statutes, which carried possible SEN
tences of Imprisonment for periods
from 3 to IL months.
AT least l6 statutes, passed prior to
the time of the American Revolution
by the Colonies. or shortly after by
The newly-created States, authorized
the summary punishment of petty
offenses by imprisonment for three
months or more, and at least eight
Others were punishable by imprison-
ment for six months.
In the face of this history we find
1t impossible to say that a 90-day
penalty for petty offense, meted out
upon a trial without a jury, does not
conform to standards which prevailed
when the Constitution was adopted,
or was not then contemplated as ap-
propriate notwithstanding the consti-
tutional guarantee of jury trial"
In holding that her right to cross
examination OF witnesses for the prose-
cution was abridged, the court said:
"All {of these witnesses) were pri-
vate police or detectives, apparently
acting in the course of their private
employment. Common experience
teaches us that the testimony of such
witnesses, especially when uncorro-
borated, is open to the suspicion of
bias"
The dissenting opinion read In part !:
I'VE cannot agree that when a
citizen is put on trial for an offense
punishable by 80 days in Jail or q
fine of $500, the prosecution is not
criminal within the sixth amendment.
In suit at common law to recover
above $40, jury trial Is assured. And
to us, it seems improbable that while
providing for this protection in such
. trifling matter the trainers OF the
Constitution intended that 1t might
be denied where imprisonment for .
considerable time or liability Of Is
times $40 confronts the accused.
I'm view Of the opinion just an
nounced, it seems permissible to in
quire what will become Of the other
solemn declarations Of the amend
ment. Constitutional guarantees
ought not to be subordinated to con-
venience. nor denied upon question

WEATHER REPORTED BAD.

WEATHER REPORTED BAD.
BURBANK, Calf, April 5.-A plane
carrying eight or more persons was
missing today along a route marked
by bad weather.
The plane, Douglas transport,
hoped of here at 10 am. Saturday
morning and was being ferried across
the country to be shipped from New
York to Holland for delivery to the
Royal Dutch Air Line. 1t was equipped
with radio sending and receiving
set. The pilot, Glen Moser, 80, had
no scheduled stop, except Kansas
City.
Bad weather was reported over Ari-
Zona.
T. w. A. records indicated eight per-
sons besides Moser and Co-pilot Joe
Voolfolk, 80, were aboard, but George
w. Stratton, assistant to the Douglas
Corp. president, could give only the
following list, besides the two flyers:
E.. R. Moser, 55, father of the pilot.
Merle Estey, 20, Douglas engineer.
Mrs. Lucille Estey, his wife.
g Bernard Troy, jr., 33, parking sta
ton operator.
George Kent.
Mrs. B. R. Uderlin, mother Of q
Douglas employe.
Kent and Troy were guests Of the
pilots.
Mrs. Moser expressed hope her hus-
band had grounded the ship in one
of several emergency fields in South
ern Arizona, New Mexico or Texas.
Since more than a day and half
had elapsed since the takeoff, Douglas
officials did not think this probable.
The twin-engined, all-metal ship
had a Widespread of 95 feet and q
speed of 200 miles an hour. 1t car
ried radio direction finders and other
safety aids and bore the marking
P-H-A-L-P, a foreign designation.
Ferrying of ships sold in Europe
across the continent is regular pro-
cedure with the Douglas Corp.
Pilot Moser had been flying four
years, three of them as an Army
officer.
At Albuquerque, Erie L. Hardy,
meteorologist, said that about the
time the plane was due between Win
slow and Amarillo low clouds and
snow squalls covered much OF the
area, but he did not believe icing
conditions were severe enough to in
terfere with flying. Kingman, Ar1z.,
residents reported seeing a strange
plane pass over there Saturday morn
ing.
Ready to Join Search.
Mai. A. D. Smith, district opera
tions superintendent for Transcon-
tinental and Western Air, said at
Albuquerque he is ready to join a
search for the missing airliner when
we are asked to take part"
The veteran OF many aerial hunts
considered it likely the plane would
have stopped there had it got that far.
He pointed out, however, the fying
range of the big ship would have car
ried 1t far beyond Albuquerque If the
pilot wished to avoid landing.

LANSING, Mich, April (P).-Gov.

negotiations had been prolonged be-
cause of discussion Of some funda-
mentals of the whole automobile labor
controversy" bearing on the entire in
dustry.
Out of this discussion Murphy said
he expected a general peace to de-
velop
II believe the entire labor contro-
versy in the motor industry will be
cleared up briefly" he said. Il think
the threat of violence has pretty we'll
passed. All news is encouraging and
there is nothing to indicate further
serious trouble" he added.
Murphy said it was his intention
"in the next day or two" to call in
representatives of the other automo-
bile labor controversies in Michigan,
particularly those concerned in the
Hudson and REQ strikes"
do you intend to have these con-
ferences during or after the Chrysler
settlement" he was asked.
After" Murphy replied.
Realization Of Murphy's objective
would put approximately 10000 men
back at work in Michigan automobile
plants possibly within a week. APP
proximately 10000 are involved in
the Hudson strike, 1000 in REQ and
