MAYOR LACUARDIA
 IS BEFORE JURY
Claim He Helped Hamper With Justice in Case
 of Murderer

New York, Sept. - (U.P) - A grand jury was getting reports to- day that Mayor F. H. LaGuardia "tampered" with the investigation of murder case.
 District Attorney William O'Dwyer of Brooklyn borough said the mayor and two police officers had put disguised policeman in a cell next to murder suspect with instructions to gain the suspects confidence, and that they had kept this secret from the prosecutor. The suspect was Charles Farley, report edly nephew of the late Thomas Farley who was removed from office as sheriff of New York County in 1880.
 ODwyer summoned the two police officers, the disguised policeman and the jail warden before the grand jury after having questioned them at length.
 LaGuardia issued a statement saying he had had police put a dis guised man next to Farley to "as- certain the true facts of the Ma reno case"
 Staying of PatrOlman
 The case involved the staying of Patrolman Nicholas c. Mareno by gasoline station robbers May 23, 1929. Two men had been indicted for the murder, Farley, "A, and Louis Caridad, p. ODwyer said they had confessed but had not named an &C., complice. O'Dwyer said he has as- signed John McGowan, in charge of the Brooklyn homicide squad, to make special, personal investiga-

It was evident that the planes were flying back and forth across the city on the same paths.
 Daringly, the planes came down to about 5000 feet, but not once were they picked up by searchlights. The British planes seemed to be disre- garding entirely the heavy fire from the ground. One plane dropped a. string of parachute flares across the center of the city from east to west, circled and dropped an- other series farther south from cast to west.
 Bombs splattered in the streets of London and in Britain'S great in- dustrial and shipping centers, in cluding Liverpool, Thameshaven, Manchester, Derby. Rochester, Wey- bridge, Henley and southern coastal points as the Nazi high command officially stated that it was carrying out Hitler's order for big-scale at tackS in retaliation for bombing of German cities.
 Both sides were Striking-deSpite a Hull in operations Saturday morn ing-at military objectives but with greatly increased force that caused vast damage to civilian homes and probably inflicted many casualties in the cities of Britain and Ger many.
 The British attacks on Germany were still concentrated on knocking out the factories and depots that supply the Nazi war machine, but the fact that bombs were aimed at targets in such cities as Berlin served to carry home to Germans the intensity of the aerial warfszS.

EDWARD FLYNN EXPOSES COP. HEAD WILLK|E. Republican Candidate as Friend of Labor Is Much
 Different $3l,1O8 SPENT TO
 SPY UPON LABOR Willkie Was President of Corporation When That
 Was Done

New York, Sept. 7-UP) Chairman Edward J. Flynn of the Democratic national committee today repeated his charges that the Georgia Power company, one of the links in the Commonwealth and South ern Corp. chain of which Wendell L. Willkie was once president, spent $31, 108 for labor espionage in. three years.
 The company since has explained tl1aS the money was spent for de- tecesye service not related to labor problems. Flynn, however, produced a photoStatic copy of the record of the Senate Civil Liberties com nitfe which showed the money had been paid out flor labor espionage industrial munitions, strike break ing and plant protection, etc"
 Commenting in formal state- ment, that Wendell Willkie, in his Labor Day book to the workers of this country, congratulated them on the circumstances that only in free American and beleaguered Britain were unions permitted to exist. Flynn added:
 Tt certainly is not MT. Willkie's fault that that situation prevails.
 Tt is true that in one speech he once described himself as a member of big business who never hired labor spy in my life,' but we have the evidence before the La Toilette Investigating committee that Mir. Willkie's Georgia Power company spent $31,OO0 on labor spies from Pinkerton's; that MT. Willkie's Central Illinois Light bought guEs and tear-gas shells; that no fewer than three of the Willkie companies were clients of the biggest espionage agency de- voted solely to industrial work"
 1.-The National Labor Relations Board" he went, found Will kie's Consumers Power and Ala bama Power guilty of interfering with the rights of their employees. The instances of the hostility to and aggression against the labor unions are SO numerous as to make complete recital tedious. These incidents embrace everything from company unions to direct coercion, violence and all sorts of chicanery."

 Superior Judge Thomas H. Dowd sentenced Brooks last night after the verdict was returned by jury that deliberated three hours. He set the week of Oct. 20 and then stayed execution when the defense announced it would base an ap- peal on exceptions taken during the weeks trial.
 Brooks, alias Beleau, offered no organized defense except dramatic last minute plea when asked by the court if he wished to say anything,
 T didn't shoot Ofiicer Lee," Brooks told the jury. You've got the wrong man. Who the right man is l don't know. l didn't have the gun on me when we were frlsked or when we were in the police car"

Conscription Vote To
 Be Taken Late Today
POrtiOn--That Will Be Debated fieatedly During Day
BY JOHN R. BEAL


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Sept. 7-(UP)-The final house vote on the Burke Wadsworth conscription bill prob ably will be taken tonight. One subject for debate remained the question of industrial conscription.
 House leaders called members in- to session an hour earlier than us- ual, hoping to get the bill passed tonight. They had left until last the provisions to compel coopera- tion of industry in the national de- fense program because it is the is- sue expected to cause the most con- troversy.
 Although the house spent more than seven hours yesterday con- sidering amendments, only one of major importance was adopted. That one was by Rep. Albert E. Austin, R., Conn. It would prevent the war department from inducing men into the service until adequate housing had been arranged for them. The vote was 115 to 95.
 Other Amendments
 Two other amendments that had threatened trouble were disposed of without difficulty. One related to the ages of the men who will be eligible for compulsory military ser vice. This one, by Rep. c, Arthur Anderson, D., Mo, sought to lower the house range of q to 45 to con- form to the senate's of q to 31, was defeated 161 to AT. An amendment by Rep. Edward H. Rees, R., Kan, to raise the maximum age to 55, was rejected by voice vote.
 The other amendment, offered by Rep. Karl Mundt, R., s. D., proposed to limit the use of conscripts to the continental United Sattes and United States territories and pos sessions. It was voted down 118 to

He left only a few hours before the return from exile of his divorced wife, Queen Helena, en route by airplane from Dresden, Germany, to live at the palace with her son, the new, 18-year-old King Michael. Carol had bid Michael fearful, affectionate farewell last night.
 The Bucharest radio announced that the minister of finance had discovered and attached $11,000,000 that he believed was secret fund flor certain ministries and royal purposes"
 It was understood that visa diff faculties had delayed Carols depar- ture from 8 o'clock last night to 2 a. m. today, and that this account ed for. the fact that few of the usually we'll informed persons knew where he was going.
 Most people were asleep and the city was deathly quiet when Carol left.
 AntOnescu Takes Hold
 Gen. Ion Antonescu, the army strong man who had taken dictato- rial powers as premier, in the crisis which forced Carols abdication, was ruling with a firm hand and receiving pledges of allegianceS from most political parties. The pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic Iron Guard, which played big part in the abdica- ton and whose youthful enthusiasts had demanded the arrest and pun ishment of Carol and Miss Lupescu, was aiding in police work with An tonescu's consent. It was understood to have formed it's own police force and to keeping many prominent persons, including ministers in Carols last cabinet, under house ar- rest.
 One report was that 50 persons were under house arrest. Horia Sima, Iron Guard leader, summoned his followers and ordered them to cooperate with Antonescu, who has announced 8 pro-Axis foreign policy and has been sympathetic toward the guard.
 Carols special train headed west. He was accompanied only by Ernest
