COURT BLOCKS
Y ULE PAYOFF
BY FIDELITY.
Appraisal to &c t
Further Study

Hopes Of depositors of the
closed Fidelity Building and Loan
Association to receive their divi-
dend payments by Christmas
faded today when Justice Daniel
w. ODonoghue in United States
District Court declined to sign an
order approving sale of the assets
and accounts to new organiza-
ton until special appraisal of
the real estate owned by Fidelity
had been made.
PAYOFF PLANNED
For months officials of the
closed institution and of the
Treasury have been working on a
plan to release some of the 81
400, 900 share-deposits and finally
presented a plan whereby $780,
900 in share-deposits, representing
approximately IS per cent of the
total, would be sold to a successor
organization known as the First
Federal Savings and Loan Asso-
citation for a price sufficient 20
pay IS per cent depositor-share-
holder claims either in cash or in
shares of the new association.
APPRAISAL is BLOCK
When the plan was presented
to Justice O'Donoghue for final
approval today, the jllriSt looked
ct the schedule of Fidelity assets
and found that 100 parcels of real
estate were included. These prop
critics had already been appraised
by private appraisers, acknowl-
edged experts, but Justice O'Don-
oghue said he thought the amount
involved was so large and that the
entire matter so important that
he considered it a duty to require
a special appraisal, by experts
whom the court would select.
He is expected to name the ap-
praiSers, of whom there will be
at least three, sometime today.

COLLEGE GIRL

5-Year-Old in Rage

CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. % G.N.S4.
With no outward show of emo
ton, pretty Mary Keenan, O'Con-
nor, 19.year-old college student and
daughter of a Philadelphia high
school instructor in mathematics,
today heard herself charged with
Staying 5-year-old Nancy Glenn, a
neighbours child, on Labor Day.
On the testimony of Capt. John
Murphy, chief of the Philadelphia
detective bureau, Miss O'Connor
was held without bail by Judge
Baldwin on a homicide charge.
CASE REOPENED
The death of Nancy, at first be-
Heved a sex crime, was pigeon
holed as CLOSED" several weeks
ago after a coroner's jury in Phila-
delphia returned a verdict of "acci-
dental DEATH" but was reopened
through the pleadings Of the
child'S mother.
In a statement, which she pur-
portedly dictated but refused to
sign until she has had the advice
Of counsel, the college girl al
legedlyS admitted killing Nancy
with a blow of her fist during a
fit of anger.

found Nancy had stopped breath
ing, she carried the body to a
mudhole and left her face down
in water, Captain Murphy said.
Miss O'Connor, student of phys
ical education, was arrested last
night at her grandmother's home
in MerchantvilIe.
STATEMENT. QUOTED
The statement which Miss
O'Connor purportedly dictated but
refused to sign was given out by
Captain Murphy. It read:
about p. m. on Labor Day
I saw Nancy Glenn in the alley
way in the rear of our street.
At the time I saw her a small
girl had my bicycle out on q
ride.
when the girl returned with
my bicycle Nancy asked me to
take her for a ride. I said mo-
and started to go away on my
bike. Nancy followed me.
II slid on the bicycle and had
to stop. AS I got off, some loose
change fell out of my pocket on
the road. Nancy was walking
toward me and I called her and
asked her to help me find the
money. Then Nancy started to
pick up berries and I had an
argument with her not to eat
the berries.
9. Then I got angry and
struck her on the chin with my
fist and she fell down and lay
still and I thought she must
have hit her head on something.
Then I felt her pulse and so
far as I know it wasn't beat
ing. I then rolled her over on
her stomach and her face was
down in the hole in the water.
I think her face was in the
water. I looked around and saw
a big piece of tin lying in the
bushes so I pulled it out and
laid it over Nancy. Then I got

ing of the JAWS executive
board. After the meeting, the
executive board issued a state
ment, condemning unauthorized
strikes.
STRIKE WITHOUT SANCTION
JAW leaders had refused to
sanction the strike here ever
since it was called. When the sit
downers continued to hold the
plant against wishes of their inter-
national leaders, they endangered
the entire future of the union,
Martin said.
Evacuation came shortly before
noon.
AS the striker smarched from
the factory into bitter winter cold
across Snow-covered streets. JAW
officials announced their evacua-
ton did not end the strike against
the Fisher Body management
here.
STRIKERS MEET AT 4
A meeting of the strikers will
be held at 4 p. M, to determine
what action will be taken over
their grievances. However, it was
expected the evacuation would
pave the way for settlement of
the dispute and reopening of the
body plant and its dependent
Pontiac Motor Assembly Factory.
A total of 14.721 men are en-
ployed in the two plants, and they
had been idle since last Wednes-
day when the Fisher workers
struck in protest over dismissal of
four of their number.

NEWSPAPERS, OPINIONS
FACTS ABOUT THE LIQUOR FIGHT

Two facts are becoming clearly evident these
last few months:
l. In all the liquor fights of the State where the
drys rally their forces the efforts of the vets TO pc
fool the folks by shouting for control fail. Inc
people find that the real object is the sale OF more
liquor in order to get more money-most OF the
money of course is to 90 to the liquor barons and
the brewers elsewhere. For the advocates of liquor
stores all know, though they will not acknowledge
it. that the bootlegger will remain, and they also
know that none of these devout vets are going to
enlist in crusade of temperance.
2 In every county where the preachers and the
church folks have cried out against the curse OF
drink and the pulpits have led crusade against
this enemy of mankind the results have been mani
fest But where the watchmen on the walls have
wavered and sounded false note, the people have
been left to suffer. Keep this in mind, however,
that even where victory was not won at the polls
the campaign of education worth more than
it cost Had we few sincere and consistent men
in every community to brand Old John villain
they would work wonders for temperance.
The chief effort just now is to make respectable
the patrons of drink and to make honorable all
those who handle the stuff These high classed vets
are ashamed to be lined up with the traditional
liquor erowd-they are ashamed of their gang.
Even devout and abstemious church members are
sought by them to run the liquor stores for the
profits to be gathered from the poor and unfor-
tunate victims of drink. The liquor boards, COM
posed of stewards and deacons and elders and
other respectables rent property from the noble
churchmen who are assured that sober and respec-
table men rake in the cash for the rum that cannot
possibly be helpful to those who drink it, but then
their money will go to reduce the taxes of the rich
and wel-to-do. Why oh why, should church folks
be enriched by such methods.-The North Carolina
Christian Advocate.

REPEAL'S FAILURE

Repeal enthusiasts may have forgotten the prom
Uses they made when they were working to take the
Prohibition amendment out of the Constitution, but
Drys have not Lately the latter are bringing those
promises out again and asking the public to think
them over When the amendment is repealed, they
said
l. The national budget will be balanced and taxes
lowered.
g There will be no return of the saloon.
8. There will be no more bootlegging.
4. There will be reduction in crime.
5. There will be no drinking among young peo-
pie, since the purveyors of legal liquor will be re-
quired to serve only adults.
g. Unemployment will be ended.
7. Disrespect for law will be halted.
8. Liquor regulation will be taken out of politics.
That list of promises all unfulflled and hopes
deferred is known by all. Perhaps alcoholic tenn
perance is impossible in a world given to intemper-
ance in many forms - speed, racial antagonisn,
politics, and on.
Quite aside from the moral angle, which after
al! may be an individuals private affair, the prob
lem is one which society cannot drop as too difficult
of solution Alcoholic abuses in an age OF machin-
cry endanger too many people to be ignored. The
problem was with us before Prohibition and during
Prohibition. 1t is still with us after Prohibition to
a far greater degree. But failure in the past need
not mean failure forever.-Rock Hill, s. c., Herald.

inconsistencies

During the long and lean years of the depres-
sion, the correct policy prevailed and the proper
principle of government was invoked to the effect
that men who were able to work and wanted to
work had been deprived of that right by the eco
nomc collapse and that it was, therefore, the re-
sponsbiity of society to feed and to take adequate
creature care of such deprived and distressed cit-
zens.
On that theory, the Federal government under
took its entire relief program. The right of men
to work for living was then emphasized by the
administration well as the circumstance that So
ciety had failed to provide them such opportunity
1t spent billions of dollars in doing for honest
and reputable citizens what such ctizens were then
unable to do for themselves, but which they would
gladly have done had the way been open.
Now, however, by its failure to act for the pro-
lection of citizens who want to work, the Federal
government is taking the equivalent Of the position
that honest and reputable men do not have that
right if, forsooth, they standing in the way OF
the labor unions reaching their detectives.
The inconsistencies of the present administration
in this case as well as in many another are garng
and disquieting. Observer.
