and had to be helped down the
stairs.
The physician said he was sum-
moned by a telephone call from the
manager Of a drugstore and that
he was driven to the apartment by
man who had told the druggist
his wife was seriously ill.
A safety razor blade was used
in the operation, the doctor said,
because he had brought no cutting
instrument with him. The wound
ed man was In great pain during
the operation, but remained con-
scious. The bullet was removed in
about Is minutes.
The physician was detained in
the apartment three and a half
hours, arriving there at l am. Just
before the three fugitives left they
told the physician that if he did not
notify the police he would find $3.50
in his mailbox in the next few days.
The tavern holdup occurred short
ly before midnight.
Officer Mcintyre, his wife, and
Kelly were sitting at the bar when
the gunner entered the tavern at
1923 N. Western avenue. Both po-
licemen, who were off duty at the
time, drew their guns and fired when
the robbers announced This is a
stickup"
Ferguson was mortally wounded by
the robbers first shots. Mcintyre
suffered a head wound as he emptied
his pistol at the gunmen and Kelly
was hit in the abdomen, shoulder
and wrist.
The robbers escaped in a car.

u. 5. Ends Ban on Shifts
Without Superiors' 0. K.

A Budget Bureau order prohibit
ing Federal employees from seeking
transfers from one department OF
agency to another without first OBJ
tanning permission from their su-
periors has been rescinded, the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees announced today.
Cancellation of the instructions
regarding transfers contained in a
Budget Bureau circular issued in
February, 1884, means that the
transfer procedure reverts to the
rules and regulations in effect prior
to issuance of that circular, the
A. F. G. E. pointed out.
Charles I. Stengle, president OF
the A. F. G. E., said he wrote
former Acting Budget Director
Daniel w. Bell several weeks ago
pointing out that the restrictions
on transfers in the 1884 circular
appeared to conflict with the spirit
of President Roosevelt's recent ex-
ecutive orders, which extended the
merit system and set up new per-
sonnel systems.
The Council on Personnel Admin
istration, created by the executive
orders, informed the Budget Bureau
that it favored canceling the 1894
restrictions on transfers. A men,
orandum from Harold D. Smith,
new budget director, canceling the
restrictions, followed.

Convicted Slayer Gets
Stuy of Execution

James Bostic, colored, scheduled
10 die today in the electric chair at
District Jail, was granted a weeks
stay of execution yesterday, pending
disposition of writ of habeas
corpus.
The condemned mans lawyers
contend he was convicted of first
degree murder under a null and void
indictment and that a young and
inexperienced attorney was assigned
to defend him. He was convicted of
shooting William Tuckson, jr, also
colored.
Answering the contention of Bos-
tics attorneys that the man is be-
Ing held Illegally, Thomas M. Rives,
Jail superintendent, stated that 1T
was only because of the strong evi-
dence against the petitioner that the
Jury returned verdict of guilty Of
drst-degree murder"
Mr.. Rives contended that the Su-
preme Court already has denied a
petition for writ of certiorari filed
by Bostics attorneys and recon-
mended that the habeas corpus writ
be denied when it is returned at 10
am. Monday before Justice James
NJ. Proctor in District Court.

Had the United States Treasury
worked in closer harmony with the
State Department, Secretary of State
Cordell Hull would have received a
book today at noon. AS it was, he
heard only glowing description Of
the book dedicated to him as "the
great champion of freedom in inter-
national trade"
The book-depicting photograph
ically Finlands development in
trade and industry-failed to clear
customs in time for presentation.
Consequently, when six members
of the Finnish trade delegation to
the International Chamber OF Com
merce arrived at the State Depart
ment for presentation ceremonies
they were somewhat chagrined. They
had waited patiently for the book
to arrive from New York. At II
o'clock all hope was gone, so They
went to the Secretary of State S
office empty-handed.
Delegation to Return.
Jaakko Kahma, managing di-
rector of the Finnish Foreign Trade
Association, headed the delegation
which was to present the American
Secretary of State with a bound
volume containing $500 photographs
of Finland, book weighing 6 kilos,
close to Is pounds. First of its kind
ever compiled, only 1000 copies are
off the press and the first was
rushed overseas for today's appoint
ment at the State Department. The
Secretary will get his book later, as
the Finnish delegation intends to
revisit Washington after seeing the
Worlds Fair.
At today's ceremonies in the State
Department Mr.. Kahma was ac-
companied by H. v. Fieandt. chair
man of the Finnish trade delegation
of IS industrialists, bankers and
trade association directors; by Zero
lives, banker of Helsinki; julius
Alanen, managing director of the
cooperative wholesale society OF
Finland; v. K. Latvalva. American
born president of the Finladia News
Service, and Arthur Soderholm,
managing director of Finlands
largest department store.
Hull's Work Praised.
Just before the trade delegation
left Finland its members attended
the annual meeting of the Finnish
Foreign Trade Association at which
the international trade situation
was reviewed. Results of that meet
ing were reported to Secretary OF
State Hull. He was told that an
attempt was made ito determine
the positive forces at work for the
restoration and safeguarding of
freedom in international trade" The
conclusion had been reached that
"these forces we're for the most part
to be found in the two great Eng
disappearing democracies, and the

Covered With Pistol.
The physician said the wounded
man drew a pistol and kept him
covered while the other man and
an attractive blond woman packed
their clothes and apparently loaded
the grips into an automobile. They
helped the wounded man dress and

to summon police for at least Is

Farmers and Federal
Officials Blamed for
High Milk Prices
Distributor Monopoly
Denied by President
Of Corporation
By the Associated Press.

=
Thomas H. McInnerney of Green
wich, Conn.,, told the Federal Mo-
nopoly Committee today that farmer
associations and Government Off
cials, rather than milk distributors,
were principally responsible for high
milk prices.
Mr.. McInnerney is president of
National Dairy Products Corp, one
of the Nations largest milk dis
tributing systems.
For the last several years." he
said in a prepared statement, dairy
farmers, cooperative associations
and Government bodies, through
orders and licenses, have maintained
Glass l prices (of milk for bottling)
at levels much higher than the basic
value of milk used for manufactur-
ing purposes as determined by supply
and demand conditions in competi-
tive markets.
when Government bodies COM
menced regulating class l farm
prices, they acceded to farm de-
inands and raised class l prices still
higher in vain attempt to in
crease the blended or net farm
price"
Policy Called Harmful.
Such a policy had proved harmful
to the industry, Mr.. McInnerney
said, because, attracted by high
prices, farmers were influenced to
produce more milk, although con-
sumner demand for fluid milk was
decreasing.
There could be but one result
from the head-on collision of these
two conflicting forces" the New
Englander asserted. "A greater pro-
portion of each farmers total pro-
duction had to be sold for manufac-
turing purposes at a substantially
lower price"
Denying that distributing profits
we're immoderate or that distribu-
tors were exercising monopoly, Mr..
McInnerney offered two solutions:
IAN intelligent determination" of
bottled milk prices 'in a reasonable
relationship to prices received for
milk used to make manufactured
products" and recognition of the
fact that the consumer is the final
arbiter of farm income
Blames Labor Costs.
The committee yesterday heard
another prominent milk distributor
declare high labor costs and Gov
ernment price-fiXing were largely
responsible for high milk prices.
Theodore G. Montague of New
York, president of the Borden Co.,
also testified that no monopoly Of
distribution could or did exist in the
milk industry.
Asked by Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat, of Wyoming, chairman of
the committee, what he proposed as
cure for ABUSES Of high labor and
farm COSTS" Mr.. Montague replied:
Bring public attention to these
abuses. Five years of attempted
Government control has failed"
His testimony was at variance
with that Of another witness, Ken
meth L. Vardon, president of the
United Dairy Workers Union &c.
I.O). Mr.. Vardon advocated stabili-
cation of milk prices by State agen-
cies. He added that unless Michigan
established State price fixing body,
many independent dairies in Detroit
would be forced out of business.
