DUDLEY GILLIAN LIKELY
has the distinction Of riding on
the biggest tires in Henderson
county. They are twelve and
three-quarter inches in diameter
but require only ~ pounds of air
instead Of the customary 30 or
more for large tires. Each tire
contains 16 gallons Of water,
serving more or less as a ballast.
Wade NJ. King, who ordered the
tires for Mr.. Gilliam's Case Il ac-
tor, says they are supposed to
give from seven to 10 years of
service and save % per cent of
the fuel bill by reason Of Their
traction which, he says, is greater
than cleated iron wheels. The two
tires, inncrtubes and metal wheels
on which they are mounted cost
only $295, including water, infla-
ton. etc. Mr.. Gillian was inn

tires on the tractor of Lawrence

found Reid. According to deputies Sheriff H. c. Pollard and R. A. Ste phens, Reid confessed. The deputies knew that news of the capture had preceded them, and, to avoid the possibility of mob violence, they started with their prisoner toward a mob proof jail at Albany, Ga. Before they reached Albany, Reid was killed.
 Near the Georgia line," Stephens said, "the negro suddenly leaped from the car. We opened fire in- stantly. He must have been struck by 10 or 12 bullets. He was dead when we got to him."
 Stephens and Pollard brought the body to the mortuary of Tom Bynes. Soon afterward a car loaded with white men appeared, then another, and another, and another. Bynes, was frightened. He believed that at least 50 cars, all filled with whites, some containing women and girls, were lined up. The leaders went in, carried out the body and dumped 1t into a car, and the mo- torcade drove on, and by the time 1t reached the ball park, it was esti- mated to number 75 cars.
 Men climbed out, the boards of the ball field fence were pulled on and piled up. The women. who, ac- cording to some witnesses, compris- ed almost half of the mob, assisted. Then the body was thrown on and in an instant a great fire was roai- ing, Illuminating the intense. emo- ton -choked faces of the incinera- tors.

 Moscow, May 25. - (UP) = The Soviet Union will abandon it's attempt to es- tablish a permanent air base at the North Pole for trans Polar flights because drift ing ice makes the daring scheme impractical, the United Press was informed today.
 Nicolai Yanson, acting chief ot the Arctic administration in the Soviet government here, made the announcement that the proposal for the permanent base had been given up as futile, at least for the present.
 Four men who are to winter at the Pole will be withdrawn after a year, or sooner if necessary, Yanson said. They flew there last Friday and set up Polar base 12 l-2 miles from the top of the world.
 Yanson said that while Soviet leaders expected everything to ""go smoothly" with the venture in the Arctic, every preparation had been made to rescue the me nshould something go wrong. He said they

MILLIONS WILL
 GET OFF RELIEF
Roosevelt Plan on Mini= mum Wage, Maximum
 Hours to Accomplish It
By c. L. SULZBERGER

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Washington, May 25-(UP)-PreS- ident Roosevelt's minimum wage and maximum hours program was linked directly today with the drive to bal ance the budget. New Dealers re- vealed their belief it would remove millions from relief rolls. Assuming that there are 100000 unemployed now, some New Dealers estimated a 4O-hour work week limitation would restore more than half of them to productive employment. Others be- lieved that estimate too high, some by as much as 50 per cent. The wage and hours program awaits congress sional consideration. The message was dispatched yesterday, but with out specific recommendations as to the precise standards of labor hours and compensation.
 5,OOO,OOO Could Get Work
 David Saposs, industrial econo- mist for the national labor relations board, said he thought 5,000,000 un- employed could be assimilated iln- mediately on a 40-hour basis. Other guesses ranged considerably lower Rep. William P. Connery, co-author of the bill, said he figured 100000 could be absorbed.
 Congress started immediate action on the new measure, number one point on the program of MT. Roose-

Bainbridge, Ga, May 25.-UP)- Because police had killed Willie Reid, 24, negro, alleged murderer and rapist, mob couldn't lynch him. But 1t broke into mortuary, hauled his body of to the ball park and there burned 1t. Women and some girls in their teens were among its members. The informal incin- eration occurred last night and un- til dawn today the embers of the pine boards that had been the ball park fence, glowed against the night sky. The incinerators acted openly, even invited photographers to make pictures of the blazing pyre in which the dead body could be dis cerned with difficulty. They looked upon 1t as an object lesson.
 The chain of events began last Friday when Mrs. Ruby Hurst, 30, and Rita Mae Richards, 16, disap- peared. Mrs. Hurst's body was found Saturday on the outskirts of town. She had been killed appar- ently by a hatchet and ice pick. Sunday it became known that Miss Richards had been seen with her Friday and renewed search yield ed Miss Richards body, mutilated with the same type of wounds. 400 yards from where Mrs. Hurst's body was found. Miss Richards had been subjected to criminal assault; Mrs Hurst had not been.

 Administrationites have no de- finite compromise formula. How ever, they are using the plan offered by Senator M. M. Logan of Kentucky as a working basis. Logan's proposal woulud make no permanent change in the size of the court, but by authorizing addi- tions at the rate of one year for all justices over 75 who re- fuse to retire, it would empower the President temporarily to in- crease its membership.

THREE ALLEGED
 ROBBERS HELD
Believed Part of Gang That Has Been LoOting
 Stores in Many Places

Three men held in bonds of $1,- 900 each were questioned by detec- tiveS today in connection with theft of merchandise from stores in cities all over the east and mid- west. The three are held here on theft charges, having allegedly Stol- en clothing from Worth's and from St. John and Sullivan's clothing store.
 Two of the accused were brought back here last night from Darien by Detectives Edward McElligott and William Foley. They are: Louis Perez, 39. of 151 Seventh avenue, New York and Joseph Pardo, Al. of Al West 10th street, New York. The third man, arrested here last Friday afternoon, is Paul Bello, 36, of 1413 Bagley avenue, Detroit, Michigan.
 Are Part of Gang
 Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens claimed that the men are part of a gang which has stolen large quan- tity of suits and other apparel from stores. Their procedure, he said, is to enter a store and have one of the men occupy the attention of clerk, while the others stroll about the store. When they finish the stroll, he said, they have suit or two under their coats. Bello and Pardo, he said, have been identified as be- ing present in Worth's last Friday when four suits disappeared. Pardo and Perez were arrested yesterday by Officer Amos x Anderson in Darien, when he became suspicious of their actions. The two were driv- ing back and forth along the towns main street. Local police claimed the prisoners when word of their arrest was sent out by teletype.

 But behind the scenes, it has been junked. Administration leaders on Capitol Hill have been empowered to see what they can work out in the way of an accept able compromise.
 The President changed his mind following Justice Van Devanter's resignation.
 Up to that point, he was adam ant in insisting on his original bill. He was convinced that as long as the membership of the court remained unchaneg he would be able to wangle his measure through. But with Van Devan- ter's retirement-viewed by New Dealers as 2 moral victory"- the President gave the go-ahead signal for a compromise. Must Be Liberal
 In doing so he laid down one condition--that the substitute must adhere to the basic aim of his

 HITS WEDDING
Very Few Will Be There as Guests - Ridicule of
 LabOrites
By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN

By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Monts, France, May 25-(UP)- The British government has i'm posed a final ban so stringent on attendance at the Duke of Windsor's wedding that there may be only 8 scant dozen guests, according to in formation today from source be- lieved to be accurate.
 The question of attendance of persons in official life has been un- der consideration for some days and there have been varying reports as to those who might attend. Present information, which emanated from the Chateau de Cande where the duke and Mrs. Wallis Warfield are staying, is that the ban has been made complete-even to wives of officials.
 It is even unlikely, apparently, that Lady Mendl, the former Elsie DeWolfe of New York and a mem- Der of the intimate Anglo Ameri- can circle which the duke fre- quented as Prince of Wales and king, will be able to attend. That is because her husband, Sir Charles Mendl, is press attache of the Brit ish embassy at Paris.
 Those persons who may attend, according to information today, are only the personal, non-official friends with whom the duke and Mrs. Warfield have surrounded themselves since their departure from London.
 It was indicated that the civil wedding ceremony to be held in the music room of the chateau at noon June 3 would last but 10 or 15 minutes.
 Gifts are pouring in on the chateau from unknown admirers.

 "I can't tell you what dis cussed with the President" re- piled the Kentucian. But I am sure that Senator RObins0n's ap- pOintment to the Supreme SOurt would go far toward healing the breach with southern senators" Can we quote that?"

 Washington, May 25-U.P0-The supreme court, 1t was believed to- day, has outlined through series of decisions eliminating in the Social Security rulings the method whereby the new deal may constitu- tionally attain the objectives of the outlawed MIRA and AAA. Curt ob- servers were convinced that the de- cisions mark out 8 well-defined around legal barriers which the justices cited in their verdict of un- constitutionality against the orig inal new deal industrial and agri- cultural controls. Some observers Of the court have felt that since it's first new deal decision the court has sought to convey an idea on how to achieve its objectiveS in way the court will approve.
 Shown Two Years Ago
 Many felt this was attempted in the MIRA decision two years ago. They saw another attempt in the courts interpretation of the gen eral welfare" clause of the conSti- tuition in the AAA case, this inter- pretation had been asked by the administration. It was given by the court even though it played no part in the AAA decision which con- demned the act under another pro- vision of the constitution.
 The court is not given to gratui- tous interpretations.
 Four major principles of the new deal have now been passed on by the court They are MIRA, AAA, the Wagner Labor Act and Social Se- curity.

 Hartford, Conn, May 25.-(Up)-- The senate, without aaword of de- bate. today approved the much emasculated district court bill, pro- viding for four-year terms for judg- es and the consolidation of small towns into district judicial systems upon approval of the electorate.
 The bill, several times revised from an original form of establish ing B district courts throughout the state, provides for an assembly of all judges at Hartford each Sep tember to prepare rules and regula- tions for uniform procedure, and would make the court system effec- tive July l, this year.
 As a consequence all minor court appointments probably will be with held until the house, reportedly ad- verse to the measure, has a chance to pass upon it.
 Bill Stipulations
 The bill stipulates any town not now a district court may become one by consolidation with an ad- jacent town, upon the approval of electors of each community. The principal point of controversy in the house. it was understood, would be the four-year term of judges. Minor court jurists now are named by the assembly for two years.
 The senate, also without debate, passed the major reorganization bill creating a supervisor of purchases at $7500 a year to conduct competi- tive bidding on all state contracts.
 He would be named by the con- missioner of finance and control with approval of the governor and would be assisted by standardiza- ton committee composed of all de- partment heads.
