Blast At Garner Is Prelude ToConvention
Capital Seethes With Excitement Following Lewis Attack-Observers Believe Attack Shows Garner
 as Spearhead of Democrat Conservatives
LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Corrcspondent)

(UnIteu frcNB StafT COffeSpOnuentD
 Washington, July 28-(UP)--The question of whether Vice. President John N. Garner is an evil old man who plays poker, drinks whiskey and baits labor became part of the 1940 pre-convention campaign to- day amid tumult of angry discus- sion.
 A considerable section of Congress is incensed by those chayges made by President John L. Lewis of the Congress of industrial organizations.
 But Lewis hit not only at Garner but at the entire conservative wing of the Democratic party. He prac- tically challenged them to put their man--any of their men--in the White House next year.
 New Dealers were slow to com- ment on the extraordinary situation created by Lewis remarks. After Lewis finished, Chairman Mary T. Norton, D.. N. J., of the house la bor committee told him:
 Thank you, Mir Lewis, for your very fine contribution to this meet ing"
 But she made the same remark after the testimony of each witness.
 One comment was made by @ ranking New Dealer--Attorney Gen. eral Frank Murphy. When the Lew is statement was read to him, he guffawed and said: That's too elo- quent to comment on." Hardly had his comment been carried out over the news wires, however, when Mur- uphy's press attaches issued for mal statement declaring that the attorney general had misunderstood the Lewis quotation and that he considered Garner "A Great Amer ican."
 It was remarked here that Lewis attack emphasized the fact that Garner has become the symbol of conservative Democratic rebellion against the other wing of the poli- tical machine which helped elect President Roosevelt in 1892 and l936
 Lewis public remarks before the house labor committee reflected in some degree an intellectual whisper ing campaign which preceded the 1882 Democratic national conven- ton at which Publisher William Randolph Hearst sought to obtain the presidential nomination for Garner.
 The Texan never took public mo- tice of the whispered reports of his personal habits. He refused com- ment yesterday. But a national magazine which might have been suspected of supporting his pres- idential candidacy in 1882 appeared

RIGHT BUILDING
 FINALLY FOUND

New York, July 28-CUP) This memorandum was scribbled in the notebook found in Mrs. Sophia Beck's handbag:
 with the prospect of a l7-story jump l seem to feel at my best. Have been walking all day trying to find the right building. but can get neither tired nor depressed.
 Its a hell of state to be in with suicide staring one in the face.
 q suppose I'll be plenty nervous before jumping. Will I have the courage I sat on the roof all night and decided it was too high. It is 6 D. m. now and I must start, or rather, finish soon"
 The note apparently was written Wednesday. The 35-year-old woman found "the right building" that night. It was a Brooklyn hotel and she jumped from fourth-floor window yesterday. It wasn't high enough to kill her instantly. but she died several hours later
 A note to her husband, Joseph, al- SO in the handbag. asked his for glveness and that he be more stern" with their son. Michael. Beck said she had been under treatment l for a nervous disorder.

Second Mayo Brother Dies In Minnesota
Dr. William J.. 7S, Succumbs After Apparently Re- covering From Operation-Dr Charles Mayo Died
 in May; Both Were Most Outstanding Surgeons

Rochester, Minn., July 28-(UP)-- Dr. William J. Mayo, 78 who with his brother, the late pr. Charles Mayo, founded and developed the famed Mayo clinic, died at his home today.
 He underwent an operation at the clinic April 22 for sub-acute perfor- ating ulcer. His brother died Of pneumonia May 26 while in Chicago on business trip.
 His son-in-law, Dr. Waltman Walters, who performed the opera ton, said the aged surgeon had been making a normal recovery un- til the death of his brother when he began to decline.
 His condition became critical two weeks ago and he had been growing steadily worse. His condition be- came extremely serious last night. He died at 4 a. m."
 The brothers were two of the out standing surgeons in the world. William, an abdominal specialist, was chief of staff at the clinic. He retired from active practice a few months before his illness.
 At the bedside when he died were his wife, the former Hattie Damon; his two daughters, Mrs. Carrie Bal four and Mrs. Phoebe Walters; Dr. Walters; Dr. Balfour, and Dr. George B. Eusterman, all of the clinic staff.
 Dr. and Mrs. Balfour were sum- moned to the bedside last week from England where Balfour had gone to be honored by the Royal College of Surgeons.
 The Mayo brothers were the sons of Dr. William Worrall Mayo, a frontier doctor who once mortgaged the land on which the clinic now stands so he could buy microscope,
 The death left only one surgeon bearing the Mayo name, Dr. c. w. Mayo. son of Dr. Charles Mayo, ac- lively connected with the clinic.
 The brothers founded the Mayo Properties Association 20 years ago as a charitable, scientific and edu- cational corporation to hold all pro- perties. endowments and funds of the clinic and to insure its per- petuation for public service.
 Under that setup, the funds and properties of the clinic can never inure to the benefit of any individ- ual.
 William. the youngest brother, was born in 1861 at Le Seuer, Minn As soon as he was old enough, he accompanied his father on his rounds among the settlers and drew an early knowledge of pharmacoc- pia by exploring the shelves Of a Rochester druggist. Intense. devoid of humor, he learned quickly and before he entered high school, was assisting at operations and post mortems.
 William received degree from the University of Michigan in 1883 when he was a. and returned to (Continued on Page l

RAINS INTERRUPT
 DROUGHT BRIEFLY
President Orders Emer- gency Measures; Show.
 CTS Only Give Hope

Boston, July 28 -- (UP) New England's 28-day drought was in- terrupted briefly yesterday by heavy rainfall in various sections which helped check forest fires, but the threat to crops remained so severe that federal agencies prepared to- day to render all possible aid in event of emergency.
 President Roosevelt ordered the Agriculture and Interior Depart ments. the eco and WPA to pre- pare for possible emergency relief measures. It was emphasized that the drought situation is becoming progressively worse, and unless checked by sufficient rainfall, relief may become urgent.
 The weather bureau offered little hope, other than showers, to the parched area. The temperature re- mained in the 80's with high humid- ity.
 The most prolonged rainfall was at Springfield, but even this was not sufficient to give much aid to wilt ing crops. A cloudburst at Burling- ton, Vt.,' dropped an inch of rain within an hour. temporarily alle- viating the situation.

New Law Was Passed With Speed of War
 Emergency Acts PUBLIC INDIGNATION
 AGAINST IRA MOUNTS Three Suspects Held at Bow St. Charged With
 Having Explosives
BY LEON KAY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, July 28. = (UP) - Parliament made into law today a measure giving the police extraordinary power and Scotland Yard immedi- ately opened a campaign to drive the Irish Republican army from England. King George gave royal assent to the law and the first move was the closing of both houses of parliament to the public in fear the Irish terrorists would strike back at those who sought to curb their activities.
 Like War Measure
 The measure became law with speed resembling that of wartime measure after Earl De La Warr, speaking for the government, told the house of lords that the IRA already blamed for numerous bomb- ings that have taken life, inflicted injury to British citizens and con- siderable damage to public build- ings, planned to attack munitions factories, airdromes, and public utilities.
 The bill first was passed by the house of commons, sent to lords for minor amendments and approval, thence back to commons for ac- ceptance of the amendments and finally to the king.
 Public indignation arose against the IRA as Scotland Yard, enlisting the cooperation of provincial police, prepared to move in on the terrorists.
 Bill Rushed Through
 They took but one hour and eight minutes to rush the bill through its second and final stages.
 AS they passed the bill, three IRA. suspects, John O'Regan, 20; Edward Stapleton, g; and Herbert Moore, 28: were charged at Bow Street police court with having explosive material in their possession for an unlawful purpose. and they were re- tained in custody for one week.
 Earl De La Warr had warned the lords that prompt action was es- sential.
 Arrests Made
 At the Bow Street hearing, De- tective Inspector 0. W. Allen said he went to an address in Brunswick Square, where O'Regan admitted him, and found two attache cases and bag containing explosives and detonators. While he was there Moore entered and both were ar- rested.
 Stapleton also was charged with possession of explosives at Bruns- wick Square.
 Scotland Yard transmitted the names and descriptions of suspects to police stations throughout the country. Police cars were ordered to be ready at Key points for in- stant action as soon as they received the radio signal
 No Mass Deportations
 There will not be any sped cnlar mass deportations immediately be- cause suspects must first be ques- toned and the home secretary must approve each case of deportation.
 Belfast police watched incoming boats for suspects fleeing England, but 1t was doubted if many would go to Ulster because they would risk internp . there.

 Case Investigated
 Miss Rosemary O'Connor, of the City Welfare Department, was called as Q state witness and testified that she had investigated the case and discovered that Albina Giuliano had $12,714.16 in the Citizens and Man. ufacturers National Bank. She said Mrs. Arthur Giuliano, who had been receiving aid from the Diocesan Bureau, which in turn was reim- bursed by the Welfare Department for one year, was notified that this aid would have to stop.
 Mrs. Arthur Giuliano then had the warrant issued for the arrest of her mother -in-law.
 "Astounding" Case Judge Gaffney, in ordering a weekly payment of $i5 for one year, a bond of $500 in lieu of three months in jail, said that the case was an astounding" one to be brimght into court, and amazing" that the Welfare Department of the city should have had to contribute to the support of the family.
 The grandmother was arrested ye;terday. Section 1702c, 1895, of the Cumulative Supplement to the Gen. ersl Statutes of Connecticut, says In part
 Any person who shall neglect or refuse to furnish necessary support to his wife, child. grandchild, par ent, or grandparent, shall be deemed guilty of @ felony and shall be im- prisoned not more than one year, un- less he shall show to the court be- fore which the trial Is had that ow- Ing to physical incapacity, or other good cause, he is unable to furnish such support"

DIXIE DAVIS FREED TODAY
Whisked Away From Jail Under Police Guard; To
 Remain Isolated

New York, July 28.--(UP)-J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, the dapper little lawyer who helped the late Dutch Schultz rule a racket em- pire, got out of jail early today and sped away in police car with two detectives as bodyguards.
 They drove northward from the Bronx jail where he had served his time for his part In the James J. Hines policy racket conspiracy and were believed headed for some iso- lated spot where he will be safe from underworld enemies-and to a ren- dezvous with rcd-haired Hope Dare, his ex-showgirl sweetheart.
 Davis is under subpoena to ap- pear before 6 federal grand jury next month to tell more of what he knows about the New York url- derworld and part of his bodyguards' job was to see that he does not leave the southern New York federal dis- trict. But the important reason why District Attorney Thomas F. Dewey assigned them to the job Is to see that the little disbarred lawyer Is not assassinated.
 His testimony was largely re- sponsible for convicting Hines, form CT Tammany leader, of selling pro- tection to the Dutch Schultz gang.
 As "the Dutchman's attorney gen. eral" he probably knew the inner workings of virtually every impor- tant racket in New York. His form CT friends do not want him to give more of this information to author ities, and they want revenge for his "squealing' in the Hines case.
 Davis wore an expression of in- difference, as he walked from the jail door through cordon of police. Carrying his own bags he stepped into the police sedan.
 Just as 1t turned the corner an- other machine pulled alongside 1t, forcing it to the curb. The body guards drew their guns, ready for (Continued on Page 4

JACKSON IS
 OUT OF RACE
Finance Commissioner, Apparent First Choice for
 Controller, Declines

Finance Commissioner Charles B. Jackson, apparently the first con- sideration of Mayor Frank Hayes for the office of controller, vacated by the death of Sherwood L. Row land, was out of the running today by his own statement that he would not consider accepting the appoint ment.
 While rumors rebounded from one corner of the city to another, and the name of one prospect after another was reported "in", Mayor Hayes remained silent. It was re- liably, but unofficially, reported that the appointment would be made be- fore an impending special meeting of the finance board is called.
 Although Commissioner Jackson has declined the post, there remains reliable information that Martin J Sweeney, former clerk in the con. troller's office, is slated for appoint ment to some post, probably pur. chasing agent. Mayor Hayes ha! declined to discuss any "possibili. ties," and apparently will make nc statement until he has made his choice. s
 Rumors concerning the appoint ment included the names of N Joshua IJoe) Neilsen and John M Hutchinson, but whether Mayor Hayes is actually considering either is not a positive fact.
 Corp. Counsel Charles s. O'Con- nor has recommended speedy ap- pointment, in view of the dangers which might arise from the lack of controller in the city.
 Meanwhile, friends of Acting Controller James P. Purcell, includ- ing the Waterbury Republican and American newspapers, sought to encourage Mayor Hayes to appoint Purcell to the unoccupied position. fr,n,,fip,,ad nn 1paue Al

New Treaty Is Antici- pated; Shocked Surprise
 Still Evident
NEW ORDER IN EAST
 NOT TO BE RECOGNIZED
Effect of Abrogation on Jap, British Negotia- tions Speculated On
BY II. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Tokyo, July 28. - (UP) - Japan will not demand that the United States recognize its "new order in East Asia" in any negotiations for a new commercial treaty, Tatsuo Kawai, foreign office official spokesman, intimated today. WaWai spoke wit hunusual seriousness at a press con- ference on the denunciation by the United States of the Japanese American commercial treaty. His attitude reflected plainly the shocked surprise with which the Abrogation was received.
 Kawai said the Japanese govern ment regretted the abrupt" abro- gation of the treaty and found 1t difficult to ascribe motive.
 Analyses Statement
 Then he turned to analysing a statement the foreign office issued yesterday on the denunciation. The last paragraph of this statement had said:
 "A new situation Is now fast devel- oping in east Asia. The Japanese government have long been hoping that other countries of the world would frankly recognize this fact. IT case the American government de. sire to conclude a new treaty witt Japan in conformity with this new situation in east Asia, the Japanese government will, of course be glad to do so."

LONG SESSION IS SEEN.FOR SENATE
Barkley Threatens to Hold It Until Lending Bill
 Is Passed

Washington, July 28-(UP)-Sen- ate Majority Leader Alben w. Bark ley, D., Ky, announced today that he would keep the Senate in session until tomorrow morning, if neces. sary, to pass President Roosevelt'i g, ,490 ,O00, ,00O spending lending bill
 The rush toward adjournment from the capitals 92-degree heat appeared started in earnest.
 we intend to make every effort to get the bill through today" said Barkley, who wrote the lending bill and has been piloting 1t through the Senate. There is no reason why we shouldn't finish it."
 The Hotlse begins consideration oi segment of the program-an $800,- 100000 additional loan authorization for the housing authority. Four hours of debate starts at noon, but House leaders believed action would not be completed until tomorrow.
 The adjournment date may hinge on the action taken tonight at a cau- GUS of House Democrats. It was
 
 called by administration supporters in an effort to overcome attempts by Republican-conuservat Dem- ocratic coalition to defeat the lend- ing program.
 The date may depend even more on a maneuver in the Senate to re- store the prevailing wage principle to the new work relief law. Senator Pat McCarran, D.. Nev.. was exported to offer a rider" to the lending bill today soon after the Senate meets at II a. m. t
 If the rider" is approved. many senators believed the entire bill would be doomed at this session They predicted that neither the House banking committee nor the House rules committee would ap- prove the bill If the. rider" was at- tached to 1t.
