SEATTLE. May 6.-Seventy-two-
year -old Mrs. Mary Eleanor Smith
was brought here from the State
Prison at Walla Walla last night to
lead officers to the bones Of James
Eugene Bassett, who she confessed
her son killed with = hammer 10
years ago.
She was held in City Jail pending
her re-enactment of the crime she
said De Casio Earl Mayer committed
in their little brown house" because
he needed Bassetts auto Ito get
start in life"
She and Mayer, 43. are serving
prison terms for the theft OF the car.
E. D. Colvin, who prosecuted Mayer
for the theft. expressed doubt the body
ever would be found.
Deputy Prosecutor John Schermer
said the pair probably would be
brought to trial for murder regardless
of whether the body was found. He
said no immediate investigation was
planned into three other killings she
confessed her son perpetrated.
Other victims OF her son. Mrs.
Smith said, were Ole Larsen tor Lar
SOM of Anaconda. Mont, one of
Mayors several stepfathers, who van-
ished in 1923: Dorothy La Case. de-
scribed as Mayors sweetheart. who
disappeared in 1921. and a Dave
Randall of Pocatello. Idaho.
Prosecutor B. Gray Warner con-
tended Mrs. Smiths admission her
confession was true was evidence
enough for a circumstantial case.
Mrs. Smith told authorities in her
sons presence at Walla Walla yester-
day she would testify as to the truth
of her confession should she be called
to a trial.
The granite -visaged Mayer never
batted an eye.
Ma, do you feel all right?" officers
quoted Mayer as asking Mrs. Smith
after she had finished her bloody story.
Yeah. feel fine," she assertedly
replied. better than I have for years.
This is the truth. You don't bear me
any hard feelings about this, do you.

The model Greenbelt Government
community-already beset by q wash

lawn-sprinkling dilemma.
The new complication. like the first
one. arose from the way the houses are
situated. Depending on your point Of
view. the cooperative settlement has
Its front yards in the back Of its
houses, or the back yards in the 'front.'
No one knows just where to hang the
laundry.
The arrangement was decided on
primarily to keep children playing in
the front yard-on the streets.
However, the Government sodded
the back yards with beautifully green
grass. and this being the first spring,
it naturally needs watering.
Everything went fine until the first
Greenbelt settler tried to water the
grass. He discovered the water spigot
was not in the back yard, but in the
front yard.
All sorts Of things are happening:

ship. personal liberties and protection

regard the situation"
The subcommittee said its members
visited the institutions involved in the
investigation. but that it would be
'presumptuous" for them to make any
definite recommendation on the basis
ef the superficial survey.
1T IL our suggestion" the report
said, that some authority in the care
OF delinquent children be brought here
for study of the conditions and to
make recommends tions for the future.
This can be done without expense to
the District, because under the pro-
visions of the Social Security Act we
find there are available for use in the
District OF Columbia some unexpended
balances. Miss Lenroot of the Chill
dren's Bureau testified that the sum
Of $4,000 can be placed at the dis
possl of the District to make the need
ed study. This will give us complete
picture Of the child-caring problem
and assist us to act wisely in the fu-
ture"
The subcommittee disclaimed any
intention of eriticizine the action of the
Appropriations Committee or of Con-
eress
The situation indicates only that
Ne did not have full information. the
report pointed out. We should ask
the Board of Public Welfare to ar
range for the appropriation by the
Social Security Board of the money
needed. and to employ a suitable per-
son to make the survey, together with
appropriate recommendations.
Suggest Request for Funds.
I'm the meantime, in our opinion,
the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia should be requested to send
forward to the Appropriations Com
nittee request for the funds needed
to continue the Receiving Home and
the National Training School for Girls
during the next fiscal year. Before
the next budget is completed. we hope
We shall be in better position to take
