Committee
Goes Fast
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY j. G.. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh, Jan. $3.50 rar as the ac-
tual sessions of both houses were con-
cerned, Saturday was lost day, but
advantages of the more work" plan
of the legislature were clearly shown
by works@bf the joint committees on
finance
First Floor Debate.
In ting House not even one bill was
intrOduGedb and the entire session was
perfuncNork inMthe extreme, although
the fit@ 4oor debate of the current
legislatNrel developed over efforts of
Representative Thomas S. Register, of
Granville, TO repeal 1885 act refusing
registratioA to probate witnesses by
agents, employees or servants of the
grantee. 4 ,y
After few exchanges between Mr..
Register ann Mecklenburg' MERCER J.
Blankenshfp, the matter went oyer
when objection was made to putting it
upon third reading.
By actual county, there were 81
members in their seats when the
House was called to order by Speaker
Gregg Cherry, this number represent
ing less than one-third of the mem
bership. During the session a few
stragglers came in, but at no time
was quorum present, though nobody
suggested the absence of one.
Little Done in Senate.
On the Senate side attendance was
hit higher in proportion to mem
bership, but little or nothing was done
beyond ratification of few purely To-
cal bills.
But despite this apparent indiffer-
ence to progress, Saturday was far
from lost insofar as the finance COM
mittee was concerned, as that body
continued it's all-afternoon sessions
and got well along with it's section by
section study of the proposed revenue
bill. sS&r

POLICE STALK
 BRUTAL KILLER
"Red Circle" Murderer Is Sought in City's
 "LOvers Lanes"

New York, Oct. 6--(UP)-Grave fears that the brutal killer whose trade mark is the red circle would strike again developed among police detectives today. They were no near CT establishing his identity than Sunday afternoon when the bodies of his first two victilns--a boy and girl of 2O-were found in lovers lane.
 Last night detectives watched all lovers lanes on the fringes of New York city, from hiding places. They hoped to see the killer of the red circle stalking new prey. Uniformed policemen left their beats period- ically to walk up and down them, ordering lovers in parked automo- piles to clear out.
 In ordinary times, police are tol- erant of young people spooning in automobiles, but police authorities reasoned that if they dealt with 8 maniac of twisted imagination sud- denly taken to ritualistic murder and the evidence was increasingly toward that conclusion---he would not be satisfied with but two victims. They remembered 3-X who seven years ago killed the three male par- ticipants of roadside betting parties, and politely escorted the girls to the nearest trolley lines. 3-X was never detected and is believed to be dead.
 Detectives had questioned more than 30 persons--lmostly the friends and school mates of Lewis Weiss, and his sweetheart, Frances Hajek, who were murdered in their parked car in the Hollis woods in Queens borough sometime Saturday night by 8 person who used Miss Hajek's lipstick to mark red circles on their foreheads. They developed only one clue that seemed to offer promise.
 Saturday night, Miss Hajek was invited to dance sponsored by 8 high school fraternity at which were dozens of the boys and girls with whom she went to school. She did not accept, preferring to go roller skating with Weiss. At that dance, the ticket takers stamped red circles on the wrists of all the boys and girls so that they could be iden- tiled at any time as having gained admission legitimately. It is fre- quently used device to frustrate gate crashers, but in this case 1t had an exact counterpoint, coincidental or actual, with the red circle of the killer drawn on dead flesh 8 few hours after the dance ended.

CONFLICTS ARISE
 IN LABOR UNION
Green Drive to Crush John Lewis Slowed By }
 Developments
By JOE ALEX MORRIS


 Denver, Oct. 5-(UP)-The Amer ican Federation of Labor's 57th an- nual convention today developed bitter conflicts arising from demands for the expulsion of the rebel CIO unions and for abolishment of the national labor relations board.
 President William Greens drive to crush the insurgent unions headed by John L. Lewis was slowed.
 Developments included:
 1. A bolt by the big Typograph- ical union, because of an attempt to bar Charles P. Howard, president of the Typographes and secretary of the o. I. O., from his seat in the convention. I. T. U. delegates said they would fight to the finish against such an affront to their president"
 2. Introduction of @ resolution calling upon President Roosevelt, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, and congress to disband the labor board because it allegedly "prejudg- ed cases in favor of the 0. I. o." and to form a new board that will Honestly carry out the intent" of the Wagner act.
 3. A call by Green for public sup port in the offensive against the 0. I. O. The federation president urged the American people and the unor- ganized workers to choose between responsibility and recklessness in labor"
 With inauguration of a vigorous offensive against the rebels at this convention, federation leaders who have been most seriously affected by the c. I. O. demanded Towards scalp.
 Howard smiled and watched from @ convention hall box while the car- penters union challenged his cre- dentials.
 Howard, president of the Typo- graphical union, said he would ap- pear before the credentials commit tee to argue that there was no legal or constitutional grounds to bar him from his seat. Later, he said he wasn't sure what he would do be- cause he didn't Hike to walk very much" He added that he expected to leave soon, anyway, for Atlantic City where the CIO would hold Q rival convention.
 He said the challenge to his cre- dentials reminded him of action by Mussolini or @ Hitler"
 His I. T. U. delegation, however, was ready for fight in Towards defense.
 Such an affront to our president would be an insult to the Typograph- ical Union," w. R. Trotter, head of the union statistics bureau at In- dianapolis, said.
 It appeared likely that Howard would be declared ineligible. Some officials said the decision already had been made and that there were sufficient votes to defeat the I. T. U. on the floor.

SHADOWCRAPHS NOT WORRYING COLLEGES

Boston, Oct. 5-(UP)-New Eng land colleges today dismissed as much ado about nothing" the Wayne University controversy over the practice of having co-eds pose unclad for "shadowgraph" photo graphs as part of their posture correcting program.
 Spokesmen at Wellesley, Radcliffe and Mount Holyoke colleges and Boston University, where silhouette pictures are taken at the start of each school year to determine pos- tllre flaws, regarded the controversy at the DetrC University as "prud- ish."
 we cannot imagine anyone being 50 misinformed and evil-minded as to see anything but advantage in the syBtem," one said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-05

Just 90 years ago what is pro- claimed as the first great advance n1ent in transportation safety up to that time took place, when in lDO7 the first all-steel Pullman car was constructed, but as far as this section of the country is concerned records of attempts to make rail- reading safe date back more than haif Q century before that, the New York e New Haven railroad, prede- cessor of the present New Haven railroad, having issued an educa- tional circular on safety in 1850.
 "Off the Track"
 Whether or not the New Haven railroad was the originator of safety educational work may be open to question, but other rail carriers would probably have a difficult time digging up evidence of that type of work earlier than 1850. The sub- ject of the circular which the New
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-05
M. H. Road Sponsored
 Safety Work In 1850
Remarkable Achievements of Recent Years Prefaced BY Circular Requesting Keep Cows Off the Tracks

Haven issued in that year would hardly be appropriate today, but 1t was of considerable importance at that time. It urged farmers to keep their cattle of the tracks on Sum days as the railroad might possibly have to run Q train on that day. Apparently, it was the custom to let COWS graze along the tracks on the Sabbath.
 Since that time and since the first steel car was put on the rails in 1907, the New Haven has kept pace with advancements in railroad safety and has played large part in cree ating the safety record of modern railroad transportation. This rec ord was recently summed up in @ single statement issued by the As- sociation of American railroads: Based on the safety record of the railroads for the past seven years; 8 passenger on a train could have ridden more than 2500, 100000 miles or continuously for nearly 5000 years, without meeting death in a train accident" It is an actual fact that more passengers are killed in a single crash of @ transport airplane than by the railroads, with their thousands and thousands of operated train- miles, in an entire year. The number of passenger fatalities on the railroads last year was ten.
 Safety Record
 The safety record of the New Ha- ven and its Glass sisters in this country has been achieved despite the fact that operating speeds of passenger trains have been greatly increased in the past few years. In order to make these new speeds pos sible, the railroads have employed heavier rails upon which to run their trains and have provided light weight cars which are just as sturdy and safe as the older but far heavier steel coaches which ushered in the era of safety. At the same time, general operating practices have all been pointed toward prevention of accidents and minimizing of the danger when accidents are unavoid- ably encountered. It is far cry to 1850 when the New Haven appar- ently began its safety work, but that was, as far as is known, the start of the drive which led to the mod ern record.
