Fl Paso, Tex, April 4-tUP)-Mrs Weston G. Frome, 46, California society woman, and her daughter Nancy, p, were subjected to fright full torture" before they were mur- dered in the West Texas waste lands. Dr. w. w. Waite, autopsy surgeon, announced today.
 pr. Waite said that Mrs. Frome'S right hand had been burned from her arm. The knuckles of her left hand and of both her daughters hands showed many burns, mdicat- ing that they had been tortured by fire.
 Before or after their heads were bashed in, they had been shot through the temple-Mrs. Frome with a pistol of heavy caliber, prob ably AS, Miss Frome with one of .32 caliber. Dr. Waite said this in- dicated that at least two persons had been involved in the crime.
 Mrs. Frome apparently had been subjected to extreme torture. Little bits of flesh had been jerked out of her left arm between the wrist and elbow. Dr. Waite believed they had been bitten out.
 Mother and daughter disappeared from the highway through the vast West Texas wastelands Wednesday afternoon. Their bodies were found last night in mesquite bush mile off the highway, and 50 miles from where their car was found aban- doned. They were brought here for the autopsy, They indicated that they were killed the day they dis appeared.

Bodies Of 2 Missing Women
 Found In Texas Wastelands

The crime bore sinister resem- blance to a mystery of the same bleak country of two years stand ing. Two men and two women driv- ing from Albuquerque, N. M., to Dal- las, Texas, disappeared without a trace. Their car was found in Dal- las. Their travellers checks were cashed by the person or persons who caused them to disappear, but their bodies were never found.
 A measure of luck entered into the finding of the bodies of Mrs Weston G. Frome, 46, and her daughter, Nancy, g, lest night They were mile off the highway, face down on the sand, hidden in a clump of mesquite brush. Two truck drivers had followed the faint tracks of an automobile. Fortunate ly, there had been no rain or n1 wind to obliterate the tracks since Wednesday when, probably the women were killed.
 Federal department of justice agents had entered the case on the theory that the women had been Kidnapped, and they assisted state authorities in what seemed an all but hopeless quest for the murder CT. Communities are hundreds ot miles apart in these "badlands,' and 1t is possible to drive 50 miles with out seeing house.

 If that judgment had been grant, ed it would have been a fraud upon the court, fraud upon the oppos- ing counsel. and a fraud upon the counsels clients" said Judge Mc- Evoy. Attorney Michael ". Blansfield was counsel for the defendant upon whom the fraud was allegedly at- tempted.

 Apparently ballyhoo has accom- plished something" Col. Samuel H. Fisher, commission chairman, told several hundred persons attending the opening general session of the conclave.
 q know of no other state in the union that has bettered our record, " Col. Fisher said.
 The chairman said there has been a total saving of more than 90 lives in the two years and quarter since his commission was created.
 'Is this not worth while," he asked, especially when Connecti- cuts story is contrasted with that of the country as whole, where the deaths from motor cars climbed

Detroit, April 4 - (U.P0 = Man. agement and labor met today in conference designed to end Michi- gan's far-f1ung utilities strike as Governor Frank Murphy, acting as mediator, issued a statement de- nouncing the seizure of property.
 The governor predicted he would settle this strike as he did the great automobile sit-downs of 1936-37- promptly and in friendly confer ence."
 The federal government was rep resented by James F. Dewey, con- ciliator of the Department of Labor. He arrived in Detroit this morning at Murphy's request.
 Before entering the conference room, Murphy commented sharply:
 There should never be any talk ing over of property"
 He refused, however, to elaborate that statement or to comment di- rectly on the seizure by members of the utility workers organizing com mittee of all major plants and sub stations of Consumers Power Com pany in the Saginaw Valley - an area that has more than 500,O0O population.

SEN. E. MALONEY
 URGES SPENDING
National Economy Needs Revitalizing; Regulate
 WOrk=Week He Says

Washington, April 4E(UP)-Sen Francis J. Maloney, D.. Conn, today urged program of government spending to revitalize the National Economy.
 Testifying before the senate un- employment and relief committee Maloney said spending should be &C., companied by a sound program re- gulating the work week in an effort to send more workers into private employment.
 T feel that there has been too long a delay on the part of Congress in the matter of regulation of work ing hours," Maloney said.
 He said the delay had increased the need for legislation.
 T feel that we have waited Sc long and that our National Economy has so shrunk and is so shrinking that there must be government spending" he said. We are ap- preaching crisis and unless we dc something to stimulate business we are going to find ourselves in a sad situation"
 Maloney said the wage-hour bill adopted by the Senate is very in- sufficient"
 He opposed establishment of 8 specific work week, contending that the number of unemployed should determine the length of the mini. mum work week.
 Maloney said he had made no ef. fort to deal with wage minimum because he was opposed to price-fix' ing. He also feared that . "conser' vative" congress might at some tint fix ceiling for wages.

FIFTH WEEK OF. JURY PROBE TO. START TUESDAY. Session Will Not Start Until 1 P. M.-MOre
 Officials Due
 DAVID FITZGERALD OF
 NEW HAVEN EXPECTED City Hall Attaches May Be Recalled = Atty. Weis=
 man Also Due Back

Fifth week of the eXtraor- dinary grand jury investiga- ton of Waterbury affairs and their ramifications will be underway at 1 o'clock to- morrow afternoon. Sessions have generally started at 10 a. m., but at recess-time Fri day evening, Special Prose- cutor Alcorn announced that he would be unable to arrive here before 1 o'clock. -
 New surprises are expected during the coming week, but the Alcorn secrecy makes accurate prediction of happenings virtually impossible. Rumors that indictments might issue during the coming week are without credence. It is expected that more prominent officials and legis- lators will be called to testify before any such action will emit.
 Among the rumors circulating and pertaining to the case, is one that Attorney David E. FitzGerald of New Haven, Democratic national con- mitteeman, will be an early witness this week. Appearance last week of Major John Buckley of Union, with whom FitzGerald was closely affili- ated, gives rise for this belief. Dur ing the past four weeks of the in- vestigation total of 60 witnesses were called.
 Local City Hall attaches and off, cinls Wao WeEe- eaAleed late last week. but iirid0tibtediy have not testified, will be recalled this week. Attorney Herman J. Weisman, counsel and friend to Mayor Hayes, who first ap- peared last Friday, will also return. All witnesses, once subpoenaed, are subject to recall.
 During the last week of the inves- tigation, the jury apparently inten- sified It's probe. of affairs of pursy local nature, the witness roster Is- dicates. That MT. Alcorn inte, 9s further probe of the lobbying sit'e{- ton is not only a possibility bu,kh certainty, and witnesses of this week will undoubtedly be men of intimate relation with the general assemblies.
 Detectives Edward Hickey and George Greer of the Alcorn staff were in Waterbury this morning, undoubtedly preparing for the ses- sion of the jury tomorrow. Con- mencing tomorrow Judge Ernest A. Inglis, who has directed the jury's activities from court angle since its inauguration, will be in Water bury at least four days a week.

 Hendaye. French-Spanisl1 Frontier, April 4 - (UP) - The Spanish civil war famed toward what seemed must be an early end today as the Nationalists took Lerida, left Madrid's streets filtered with casualties after a merciless bombardment, and ham, mered a path toward the east coast to cut the road between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
 Desperate Loyalist rear guard units fought with the ferocity of doomed men at Lerida and other points along the Catalonian front, but their fight seemed hopeless. Italians, Moors and Spaniards of the Nationalist army smashed into them in sector after sector, broke through, and kept on.
 Reports indicated that Loyalist prisoners were being taken by the Nationalists faster than they could be handled. Entire brigades, it ap- peared, had been wiped out.
 In the Caspe-Clcaniz sector on their right (southerD wing, the Nationalists were within seven miles of Tortosa, on the Barcelona: Valencia road. last artery of com munication between Catalonia and the rest of Loyalist Spain,
 They were in position to dflrc through not only to Tortosa, at the mouths of the Ebro, but to each side of the Ebro Delta and the Mediterranean.
