asked whether they were accurate.
The letter stated the club

to press upon Congress the need

SMASHED ATOM
LOOSES POWER

Electric energies of 100000 volts
have been produced by cracking
the atom, scientists of Carnegie
Institution revealed here today.
The feat is hailed as the first
laboratory production of energies
rivalling cosmic rays.
High voltage particles Of heavy
hydrogen we're shot against lith-
ium to produce neutrons, and the
flow of neutrons was directed
through a film of uranium oxide
powder. In this last stage, an oc-
casional explosion occurred, smash
ing the uranium atom into two
particles, each with an energy Of
100000 volts.
The scientists admitted the
electric energy so produced was
of no practical value, but useful
in their study of primary forces,
hitherto carried on only in coSmic
rays.

Sen. CHAVEZ
LINKED IN WPA
POLITICS PROBE
Activity Of Workers at
N. NJ. Polls Barred

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ. Jan.
81 N.SO.-ProSecution in the
trial of IS persons charged with
conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment sought today to establish
that WPA relief administration in
New Mexico was in reality, a
private political subsidiary of a
faction of the Democratic party
headed by United States Senator
Dennis Chavez.
AS the trial entered its second
day before a jury and Federal
Judge Colin Neblett in Albu-
querque, the small courtroom
again was filled and overflowed
into the corridors of the Federal
Building.
GIVEN DAY OFF
Earl Bowdich, grounds superin
tendent of the University of New
Mexico, provided the first evidence
in support of the Government 5
allegations that WPA labor, funds
and materials were used for
political purposes.
Bowdich said on the stand
yesterday that Solomon Chavez,
cousin of the Senator and super
visor of the project, permitted
several hundred WPA workers a
day off from a project at the
Governments expense because of
good work they accomplished at
the election polls, supposedly in
behalf of a political issue in
which Senator Chavez was in
terested.
Bowdich was the first of num-
ber of witnesses called by the Gov
ernment to testify in an effort to
establish that politics, not hu-
manitarian relief motives, consti-
tuted the primary function of the
WPA administration in New
Mexico.
FOUGHT AMENDMENT
Bowdich testified that WPA
workers we're used for political
activities in a special State cleo
tion in September, 1887, when the
then Governor Cylde Tingley was
purported to have sponsored a
constitutional amendment that
would have changed erection laws.
The Democratic faction headed
by Senator Chavez opposed the
amendment. The issue at the time
was considered a clearly drawn po,
litical line between the forces of
Governor Tingley on one side and
Senator Chavez on the other, bat
Ting for control of the party in
the State.
VICTORY FOR CHAVEZ
In reply to question by Chief
Defense Attorney Arthur F. Han,
nett, a former governor of New
Mexico, Bowdich testified:
Yes, Chavez evidently had
been drinking, but he was feel
ing pretty good over the out
come of the election. He told
relief employees they did such
good job they could have a day

COURT ADMITS
TESTIMONY OF
DEAD WEINBERG
Dewey Scores Victory
At Hines Racket Trial
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

~ VAANANO "s AAAAOEAAAAAN
NEW YORK, Jan. 81 G.N.SO.
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey scored signal victory to.
day at the retrial of Tammany
District Leader James J. Hines
when the trial judge ruled that
testimony adverse to the de.
fendant. given at the first trial
by q confessed racketeer, now in
a suicides grave, may be read to
the jury at the present trial.
STAR WITNESS DEAD
George Weinberg. henchman
of the late Arthur Dutch
Schultz" Flegenheimer, had been
billed as the star prosecution wit
ness for Dewey, who is seeking
to link Hines as political protec-
tor to the Dutch Schultz" mob
during it's ruthless reign over tie
lucrative Harlem policy racket.
Weinberg shot himself Sunday
and, until the ruling of Judge
Charles C. Mott. jr.. today, there
had been considerable doubt
whether Weinberg's testimony
that he was present when
Schultz hired Hines as "fixer" in
court cases involving defendants
nabbed in policy raids would be
permitted to reach the present
jury.
ARGUMENTS HEATED
Judge Motifs ruling came only
after heated arguments advanced
both by Dewey and Lloyd P.
Stryker, chief defense counsel.
The latter contended that since
Hines first trial ended in mis-
trial, actually there has been no
trial of Hines at all prior to the
present proceedings.
He recalled his own cross
examination of Weinberg, argued
it would be a serious detriment to
the defense that the jury would
not have an opportunity to gaze
upon Weinberg as physical ex-
hibit," and concluded by voicing
belief that Weinberg shot himself
because he feared further cross
examination at Stryker's hands.
"It is my belief" he said,
shat Weinberg shot himself be-
cause he realized he had per-
jured himself"
Judge Mott also ruled the jury
should be informed of Weinberg'S
suicide and that no speculations
or conclusions should be drawn
from the incident.
The Judge said he will instruct
the jury that Weinberg died by
his own hand. The question of
whether the lawyer may discuss
the suicide in the summations
will be decided later, he added.
DEWEY STARTS DISPUTE
Dewey himself precipiated the
argument, in the absence Of the
jury, by warning that if any ref
erence were made to Weinberg's
suicide he would be forced to call
eight witnesses who would give
Weinberg's motive for his act.
''The facts are that Weinberg
was depressed" said Dewey.
81 also can bring in six wit
nesses to testify that he re-
peatedly affirmed the truth of
his testimony at the first trial"
Presentation of Weinberg's tes-
timony to the retrial jury will give
Dewey the opportunity of repro
ducing Weinberg's under-oath
story that Hines agreed to serve
as political fixer for the Schultz
combination and was paid $1,000
down and $500 to $1,000 week
thereafter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 G.N.S0.
A special squad of G-Men today
took over the investigation of the
business and tax affairs of Fed
eral Judge Martin E. Manton
who resigned under fire as a rank
ing justice of the U. S. Circuit
Court.
Judge Manton's resignation, sub
mitted at the suggestion of U. S.
Attorney General Frank Murphy,
obviated threatened impeachment
proceedings against him on
charges made by District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey.
The resignation, it was believed
will be promptly accepted by
President Roosevelt. It is effec'
tive March l at the latest or ear
lier if the President so desires.
CAN CLEAR SELF
In submitting his resignation
Judge Manton declared he had
done nothing in his % years on
the bench of which he was
ashamed and described himself as
victim of what he termed the
ambitions" of Dewey.
He expressed himself confident
of being able to disprove all
allegations against him. Dewey
charged Judge Manton was in
volved in financial transactions
totaling more than 100000 with
persons and corporations in
terested in litigations in his court
1T is intolerable to me that
while still on the bench should
be the central figure in a con-
troversy, no matter what its
outcome, that could be seized
by malicious minds, either to
cast reflection on the court, of
which I am a member, or to
weaken public confidence in the
general administration Of JUS
tice; my first duty lies there"
he said.
ASKED HIM TO RESIGN
Murphy revealed he had met
Judge Manton in New York last
Wednesday and in view Of the
situation suggested he submit his
resignation. Murphy said the resig
nation will facilitate" the investi
CATION by the Federal Department
of Justice.
In addition, investigations are
being conducted by Dewey to de
terlnine whether any violations Of
the State income tax law are in
volved and also by the State taz
department.

In 1884, the Hugginses invested
$125 ia IS pairs of Plymouth Rock
Extra White King SQUADS, which
they purchased from Melrose,
Mass. They paid SIS per pair. Dur
ing the five intervening years, they
have sold approximately 10000
squads from that small beginning
at rather high market prices which
the buyers we're glad to pay due
to the size, taste and quality of the
products of the Ell Dorado couple.
SUPPLIES SECTION
One of the few enterprises of
it's kind in this section, the COM
pany is the main source of sup
ply of squads in this section and
ships large orders monthly to
points far removed from Ell Dorado.
The largest individual firm buyer
is the Security Produce company,
Chicago, to which one large ship
ment goes each month, averag-
ing 125 dressed squads, weighing
an average of one and one-fourth
pounds per squad, and selling at
80 cents per pound Other monthly
sales are made here in Ell Dorado
and Wichita.
The local firm supplies squads to
