tacted this morning, but the Michi-
gan governor later on was expect
ed to call on Lewis. Lewis was
closeted most of the forenoon with
his strike lieutenant, Homer S.
Martin, president of the U. A. w.
and C. I. o. Director John Brophy,
who arrived here from Detroit
early today.
Presidents Hand Seen
Rumors we're current here that
President Roosevelt already has
stepped into the situation, and
that he is dealing directly with the
du Pont family, which controls the
great General Motors combine
through ownership of a majority
of the stock. Pierre S. du Pont dis
cuSSed this phase briefly with In
ternational News Service this morn
ing over the telephone. He said:
II do not know whether that
presidential interventiOn) is in
tended or not, but l have not
been consulted yet at any rate.
/ am, of course, keeping in
touch with the situation, but
at this time 1 do not care to
express an opinion"
Before he climbed into bed last
night the governor of Michi
gan told reporters that the
strike must be settled "in the
East" and in so many words con.
ceded that, apparently, none of the
meetings held thus far have
brought any appreciable progress.
Meanwhile, John Lewis was ap.
parently as much in the dark as
the public over the details of
meetings between Murphy, Miss
Perkins and the motor executives.
He said:
"They haven't called me in
since Mr.. Sloan arrived here.
My position remains the same.
They know what it is, and Gen
eral Motors chiefs know l do
not intend to change it,"
DETROIT, Jan. 81 G.N.SD
With quiet reigning on all fronts
in Michigan, the strike of the
United Automobile Workers
against General Motors entered
what is generally conceded to be
it's crucial phase today.
Minor strikes ended in the last
"a hours. The sit-doWn at the
Bohn Aluminium and Brass Com
pany, in progress for the last %
days, ended yesterday. After the

step with the other two branches
of the Government, furnished
ample evidence that Mr.. Roose-
welt intends to hew to the original
lines of the New Deal.
Presumably, this involves the
resurrection of the basic princi-
Piles of the invalidated NRA and
the AAA, which gave the Federal
Government power to regulate the
hours, wages. and working condi-
tions of labor, and to regulate and
control agricultural production
and use of land. The Supreme
Court has said in several decisions
that the Federal Government
does not now possess such au-
thority, under the Constitution.
Interpretation Issue
With that, Mr.. Roosevelt does
not agree. In his annual message
to Congress a few weeks ago, he
said the trouble lay not in the
Constitution itself, but in what he
described as narrow interpreta-
tion" of the Constitution. He had
evidently in mind a famous phrase
OF Chief Justice Hughes:
"The Constitution is what the
judges say it is"
The inaugural address, delivered
unoer weather conditions such
as Washington has seldom seen
approached and never equalled,
left many questions unanswered.
Democrats, as was natural, were
loud in their praise of it today.
So, too, were some Republicans.
But it dealt specifically with no
issues now confronting the coun-
try. and as a working map OF
what the country may expect dur
ing the next four years it left
much to future determination.
Promises to Garry On
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
1--WE will not listen to com.
fort, OppOrtunism, and timidity.
We will carry on"
That was a phrase that was
greatly comforting to the ardent
New Dealers. But it was a phrase
that left many who are not so
ardent wondering a bit as to the
details of how the carrying on is
to be accomplished. Presumably,
those details will be forthcoming,
piecemeal, during the months of
this new and violently Democratic
Seventy-fifth Congress.

STATES SEEK
WAY TO BALK
CRIMINALS
Arrest Law Without
Regard to Boundary
Discussed Here

Believing the ability of criminals
to escape immediate arrest by flee
ing across State borders is one Of
the most pressing crime problems,
Representatives of law-enforcement
agencies throughout the country
debated cure for the situation to-
day at meeting held in connec-
tion with the Third General AS
sembly of the Council of State
Governments.
One of several committees and
groups gathered at the Hotel May
flower, the laW-enforcement con-
ference recommended a universal
adoption of a uniform State law
permitting authorities of one State,
chasing suspect, to enter another
State and make an arrest.

Known as the fresh pursuit

were caught without unreason.

Lawrence C. Jones, attorney
general of Vermont, explained the
proposal is based on an ancient
but little known common law
known as the hue and cry" law,
which permits private citizens 20
make arrests across jurisdictional
boundaries if they are chasing 4
criminal.
A few States have already
adopted such a law, it was pointed
out by Judge Richard S. HartS.

sided. He declared nonconforming

Uniform State Laws
Other uniform State laws con-
Sidered, of which one or more
have been adopted by 10 States,
are those providing for coop
erative interstate parole systems:

Other groups of the council
meeting at the Mayflower today
include interstate commissions on
conflicting taxation, council de-
Velopment and social security, to-
gether with executive committees
of three national associations
formed of State legislators, attor-
neyS general and secretaries Of

their discussions until Sunday
afternoon.

ably would not announce these
meetings.
The General Motors officials re.
manned as elusive as ever, cloaking
their movements in hotels and pri
vate clubs.
Miss Perkins reported minor
progress when she met newspaper
men informally this morning.
Among the "atmoSphere-clear-
ing" developments was the fact
that both sides have agreed to
postpone controversy over John
L. Lewis demand for recognition
of the United Auto Workers as
the exclusive bargaining agency
for employees, until actual negoti-
ations are reopened.
She added that tempers have
cooled and that some of the bad
faith charges and countercharges
which exploded shortly after
peace negotiations between the
strikers and the General Motors
executives collapsed, were today
"out of the picture"
She told reporters:
"The situation is just about
the same. There are, however,
a number of favorable elements
in the conferences now.
AIR CLEARER
1--WE have come to no cOnclu-
SiOns, but the whole direction of
the meetings has been towards
the reOpening of negotiations.
We have been able to clear up a
number of hazy matters and give
each side an understanding of
the other sides position.
The issue of exclusive cOllec-
tive bargaining agencies has
been definitely placed as a mat
ter for actual negotiating, when
we have accomplished a reopen
ing of negotiations.
cat the same time the bad
faith charges have been pulled
out of the picture. Governor
Murphy has admitted that Gen
eral Motors actions in agreeing
to confer with union officials
other than those representing
the U. "A. w., during the meet
ings with the striking workers
representatives was a 'diplO-
matte or tactical error but he
took the view that it was not
intended by General Motors as
bad faith"
MURPHY TO SEE LEWIS
Miss Perkins made an informal
apology to newSpapermen for her
efforts to keep secret the confer
ence, which she and Governor
Murphy held with the General
Motors executives yesterday. She
explained she had done this at the
specific request of General Motors.
The Labor Department here said
that all of the General Motors ex-
ecutives were continuing to hold
themselves in readiness for fur
ther conferences and were con.
stantly comforting among them
selves and with Governor Murphy.
Neither Murphy nor the Gel
eral Motors group could be con-

at is easy to read what this
means" said a union spOkes-
man today. Because now the
competitors of General Motors
will be able to get all the glass
they can use and need not be
faced with the fear of shut
down from this cause. That
means the United Automobile
Workers strike will be the only
cause which will keep General
Motors from operating. 1t also
means the shutdown in the G.

by any shortage of raw materi-
ais. We will be responsible

ForestaIIs Speedy Trip
to Prison Till Given
Hearing

M 0 N r 0 E, Mich, Jan. 81
G.N.SD. - Alcide "Frenchy" Be
mott, "a, paroled convict, who
killed State Trooper Richard Ham
mond and left the body shackled
to a mail post, forestalled a quick
trip to prison today when he
pleaded not guilty to murder
charges.
The marihuana addict, captured
last night in Michigan's greatest
manhunt, entered the technical
plea in Judge John J. Faucher's
heavily guarded courtroom. He
was held without bond.
He will not be sentenced at least
until Saturday, Prosecutor Francis
Ready said.
Will Question BenOit
Ready said police and Federal
men needed a few more days in
which to question Benoit and
"Straighten out details of other
crimes" as related in a confession
to Capt. L. A. Lyon, of Michigan'S
famed State police.
Trapped last night when he tried
to break through police lines,
Benoit, alternately defiant and
whimpering, confessed he ham
mered. the officer into insenSi-
bility, shot him, then handcuffed
his body to a rural mail post.
AS feeling ran high in the COM
munity, authorities posted a
heavy guard around Benoit's Jail
cell before his scheduled court ar
raignmeft. Police took no chances
on possible mob violence.
The suspect told Captain Lyons:
"Sure shot that State
trooper. He put up an argu.
ment; guys can't argue with
me-"
While a crowd surrounded the
heavily-guarded Jail last night
muttering threats. Benoit whim'
pered:
What chance have I gOt?"
Benoit was caught after an all
day search of this area by an army
of State troopers, deputy sheriffs
supplemented by detachmentS OF
Indiana and Ohio State officers
Federal men also took part.
Has Officers Gun
Benoit was captured close to
the scene of his crime with two
guns on his person, one Of the
weapons belonging to the mur
dered State trooper. One shot
from a troopers rifle brought him
tumbling out of a stolen truck in
which rode a father and son he
had kidnapped and forced to &C
company him in his flight.
Trooper Hammond was kid
naped after he and State Trooper
Samuel Sineni had stopped a
stolen car to question the two oc
cupants, Benoit and John H
Smith, 20, alias Mike Del Berto
Hammond took Benoit in the po
lice car while Sineni dSove with
Smith in the stolen car. En- route
to jail, Hammond was overpow
cred and kidnapped, and Trooper
Sineni made a futile effort to stop
the fleeing Benoit.
John A. Smith, alias Mike De

kidnapping that led to the Staying
of Trooper Hammond, was ar
raigned shortly after Benoit. HI

SENSIBLE SAVINGS.

1t is fashionable to be thrifty" and
it is sensible to save And it's just as
fashionable and sensible to save time
and energy in the kitchen by cutting
down the number of steps taken as it
is to save money.
One woman saved 212 miles in kit
chen steps in one day by simply re-
arranging her kitchen equipment. Sur
veys show the average housewife takes
176 steps in making and baking bis
cults. In an ordinary kitchen, Is steps
are sufficient, and in a well-planned
kitchen the job may be accomplished
with many less steps than 25.
Thoughtfully planned cupboardS con-
serve space and save steps. It is not
enough to have a place for everything
and everything in it's place. All pieces
of equipment, large and small, must
be in the right place. Why keep any,
thing in the pantry that is always
used at the stove?
Narrow shelves or step-shelves placed
between wide shelves make small con-
tainers accessible. Paper sacks have no
place in any well-ordered cupboard.
Vertical partitions are excellent space
savers in cupboard. Trays, covers,
baking pans and molding boards may
be filled" between these upright par
titionS. The pans, covers etc., can be
taken out without the usual pulling of
the desired piece from the bottom of
the pile.
There is a need for such division of
cupboard space both above and below
the work-space. The partitions may be
made of galvanized tin or ply board.
If one wishes to eliminate much
STOPPING, squatting and squirting, y
study the cupboard and the equipment

Editor, Cokato Enterprise

From Washington, D. c., last week
came message from H. H. Chapman
president of the society Of American
foreSters, regarding the shake-up in
Minnesota's department of conserva-
ton. Chapman is man who has de-
voted his entire life to forest con-
servation ana is particularly familiar
with Minnesotas conservation history
because he had friends and relatives at
Hinckley and Moose Lake when the 1918
forest fires laid waste to homes, farms
and villages covering hundreds of
square miles.
1.-The removal or demotion of all but
two of the experienced heads in the
conservation department is serious
matter to the State of Minnesota" says
Mr. Chapman. ''The conditions which
give rise to the fires of 1894, 1910 and
1918 will always be present in Northern
Minnesota They arise from climatic
causes, combining low humidity, high

winds and fires set for any purpose
anywhere which are not properly under
control and eXtinguished."
Mr.. Chapman goes on to point out
that the problem of safeguarding life
and property is far more important
than party organization, and that the
experienced heads in the department
from 1884 to 1886 had brought fire de-
fense to a point where recurrence, in
evitable under the old conditions, had
been avoided.
| The merit system, believes Mr. Chap
man, should not be sacrificed to the
demand for political jobs. What city
or state would entrust it's fire depart
ment to unframed political appointees?"
he asks.
Highway Department Next
The administrations apparent effort
to eliminate all state employees who
might have conflicting opinions con-
tinued last week with the announce
ment Friday that the administration
division of the highway department will
be abolished. Orville E. Olson, high
way personnel director, said that it is
an economy move and that elimin-
ating the eleven members of this de-
partment will save several thousand
dollars annually. The discharged head
of the department was Sylvia c. Nor
tenStein, an efficient employee of the
highway department for 80 years.
To Work for Liberal Senators.
The administrations program to gain
| complete control of the state of Min
nesota is not being confined to en-
ployees in the capitol itself In a front
page article in the "State News" Arthur
Jacobs, one of Benson's brain trusters,
writes that survey is now being made
in every legislative district in this state
with the purpose of centering efforts
where prospects of victory look bright
est for the election of liberal senator's"
! Liberals are assured of retaining
twenty seats, says Jacobs, and the sur
vey so far indicates to him that they
are reasonably certain of gaining at
least fifteen to eighteen seats in the
| senate. This would give the Farmer
Laborites control of both the house
and the senate.
From the intense activity of the
Farmer-Labor party it appears that the
coming election will focus the attention
OF the entire nation upon Minnesota.
1t the administration is able to elect a
senate of its own choosing, and re-
elect Governor Benson, the destinies
of the entire state will be completely
controlled by group of men pledged
to cooperative commonwealth as op-
posed to the American principles CEN
tering on individualism.
Saltwater a Rest Home?
AS predicted in this column several
weeks ago, the prison at Saltwater is
next in line for administration attack.
Governor Benson has announced that
prisoners are not given enough freedom
there and that the bill of fare is not
too good
More milk and butter, as the gov
ernor suggests, is perhaps good idea,
particularly for dairy state like Min
nesota. 1t should be borne in mind, |
however, that the prison at Saltwater |
was never meant to be rest home for |
convicted law breakers.
