Reply to Criticism
Copeland has been particularly
critical of the division of admins

has been run up to the present

The majority declared:
"In the last analysis the case

than this. that the effect Of the

of the dollars fluctuate with vari-
ations in the weight of fineness of

defeat the expectation of the par
ties that the standard would be
constant and the value relatively

Message Requesting
Aid Is Laid Before
President

NEW YORK, March / IN.S).
President Roosevelt today had be-
fore him a request from the gov
ernors Of six industrial States for
a conference soon upon the prob
lem of unemployment relief, with
special attention to the proposed
reduction Of expenditures Of the
Works Progress Administration.
The governors. Lehman Of New
York, Quinn of Rhode Island, Ben
son of Minnesota, Horner Of Illi-
nois, Hurley of Massachusetts,, and
La Toilette Of Wisconsin, agreed to
oppose the threatened curtailment
of WPA program pending improve
ment in the general employment
situation. They met here at the
invitation of Governor Lehman
and telegraphed their recon-
mendations to the White House.
Points Listed
Points which the President was
asked to consider in connection
with an unemployment relief pro
gram are:
IL. In accordance with the
policy advocated by you in 1885
the Federal Government should
offer work relief and other forms
Of employment to all the needy
employables.
"2. We believe that WPA
workers should not be removed
from the rolls until they can be
absorbed in private industry.
"3. When WPA workers are re-
moved they should be replaced
by other needy employables
taken from the relief rolls.
a. In order to encourage
WPA workers to accept private
employment, procedure should
be simplified to assure reemploy-

employment of them ceases.
Lift Local Burden
"5. The cost of relief to en-
ployableS cannot be borne by
local units of government, and
We protest against the imposi-
tion of this burden onto the
States and local units of govern
ment.
IS. It is important for the
Federal and State Governments
to cooperate in a program that
will encourage industry to pro-
vide additional opportunities for
private employment for those on
WPA and State relief rolls as far
as possible"

How Cocktail Party
Ended in Death Told

UN.SO.-Comely Rive King Pear
son told her long-awaited story to
day of events surrounding the
Staying Of Humphrey w. Pearson
famed motion picture playwright.
but the question who shot h1m?"
remained unanswered.
From q bed in the Riverside
Hospital where she has lain
hysterical with grief since the
tragedy widowed her, the former
Columbus, Ohio, Socialite told
Sheriff Carl RaybuTn what she
remembered of a horror-climaxed
evening, which began with many
rounds of cocktails at Palm
Springs cafes.
Mrs. Pearson said:
"He had a gun in his hand
and it seems to me I tried to
get 1t away from him. But
then my memory fades. have
q vague recollection Of hearing
a shOt-but don't know.
HAD BEEN ILL
Next / remember rubbing
; his legs with oil. He had been
ill. Suddenly 1 saw the blood
on his chest and screamed"
Among the puzzling factors
Mrs. Parsons story did not clear
up and which earlier had led
District Attorney Earl Redwine
to announce he was investigating
a murder theory. were:
Paraffine tests indicated that
neither Pearson nor his wife had
fired q gun recently.
Why Alfred Blackman, colored
butler, was unable to hear two
shots which investigators said had
been fired, although Blackman was
near Pearson's bedroom, where the
shooting occurred.
Why the gun which killed him
was observed in a dresser drawer
of q nearby room shortly after
the tragedy and later was found in
its accustomed place in Pearson'S
bedroom.
Meanwhile, it was reported that
the customary investigation by in
surance companies was in progress
with some $4,000 at stake, the eS-
timated value Of policies on Pear
sons life.
The independent investigation
was reported launched after the
decision by coroner's jury that
Pearson "died of gunShot wound
under circumstances which this
jury is unable to determine from
the evidence presented"
Rayburn said Mrs. Pearson gave
him the following account Of what
happened last Wednesday night:
1--WE came home after having
q number of drinks. We were
with Miss Kathryn Henderson,
Mr.. PearsOn'S typist and Leon
ard Mitchell, a cafe man, who
was Miss HenderSOn'S escort.
"Mr. Pearson went to his bed

his bed. At least that was his
position when observed him.

tered his room he was sitting on
the edge of the bed, toying with
q pistol.
"I tried to get it away from
him. Then my memory fades. I
have thought 1 heard a shot,
but can't be sure. He was sub

CONTRACT BRIDGE

to prevent West from making his
bid, it must partly be due to
strength in the unbid heart suit,
with perhaps trick or two in dia-
monds. It hardly could be due to
my spades, which I had not rebid
and over which West had not hesi-
tated to bid no trumps, three
times.
My partner studied his hand for
some time, then instead Of leading
his own long suit of hearts, he led
his doubleten spades. Declarer
captured my J Of spades with his
@, then three rounds of clubs were
led. On the last two clubs I let
go my two lowest spades. North
finally won our first defensive trick
with his Ace Of clubs. He led back
his fourth-best heart. My K held
the trick. I led my 10 of hearts,
taking declarer's last card Of that
suit. North overlook the 10 and
removed dummy's Ace, but it was
too late to defeat the contract.
Dummy won two club tricks, then
low diamond was led through my
K. The ] won on a fnesse and the
Ace of diamonds and Ace Of spades
were taken. Two tricks in spades,
1 in hearts, 4 in clubs and 2 in dia-
monds yielded just game
Had my partner led his own
heart suit, West never could have
gone game. South's K Of hearts
would have won the first heart
trick. The 10 would have been led
back and oyertaken with North's
J. He would have removed the
Ace from dummy, still holding the
Ace Of clubs, to insure two added
heart tricks when he secured en-
try to dummy's longest suit. It
was too bad.

Old and Ne1U Medical
Practices of Chinese

Of seeing a Chinese doctor insert
one of the acupuncture needles
into the soft tissue of the neck
over the top of the breast
bone to a depth Of three or four
inches. That would take some skill
to keep from hitting the large
blood vessels. The needles are not
sterilized: in fact they are ll1bri-
Gated in the doctors hair. If the
patient gets worse after the treat
ment this is always ascribed to
the disease. Clever, these Chinese.
The tongue book was the one in
the collection which particularly
caught my attention. Pictures Of
the appearance of the tongue in
different diseases. People Of my
generation will remember when the
doctors of our country used to look
at the tongue first thing. They
seldom do it now. Perhaps the in
terest the Chinese show in it is
due to the fact that the tongue is
affected in conditions Of poor putri-
ton, when vitanins and fresh
food are absent from the diet.
Such conditions would be very
common in China.
New scientific methods in medi-
cine are coming into China to re-
place the old methods. In this
same exhibit were a number Of the
health posters of the new China.
They teach graphically by pic
lures: one set shows the care given
the prospective mother and the
newborn baby. Others show
foods containing vitamins and
vaccination against smallpox and
diphtheria. Most graphic were the
ones designed to prevent the
spread of animal parasites--liver
fiukes especially, so common IN
China, almost unknown in this
country of comparatively good
sanitation and plumbing.
The new medicine will overcome
the old Yang and Yin medicine, as
described by Mrs. Alice Tisdaie
Hobart in her recent novel OF that
name.
