fearful scenes continued We'd
nesday as Mrs. Mandy LaZette.
S. year old Tacoma housewife,
was tried for second degree muir
del before jury Of six men and
seven women.
Mrs. Lazette was grim-lipped
and determined as she was cross
examined Wednesday morning.
She repeated firmly her state
ments of the day before.
But her sister, Mrs. Harry c.
Johns, broke down completely in
telling how she heard snatches
of the violent scene of May Is
over the phone. Mrs. LaZette had
called to tell her of a beating at
the hands of her husband, Mrs.
Johns testified.
She said she heard her sister
pleading with Lazette and then
heard sounds of a scuffle and a
loud voice saying "I'll kill you,
I'll kill you"

tears that Judge Fred C. Remain
was forced to recess court.
Mrs. LaZette herself sobbingly
told the story Tuesday afternoon
that she shot and fatally wounded
her mail order husband last May
to save her own life.
To Reach Jury Soon
The case was expected TO be in
the jury's hands before the end
of the day, after testimony Of
rebuttal witnesses for the state
during the afternoon.
Selection Of a jury TO hear the
ease in which the diminutive
woman Is accused of sending a
bullet from a .3s-caliber revolver
through the heart of George La
zette. 53-year-old painter and
paper hanger, was a tedious task.
Once the 13-member jury was ac-
cepted by attorneys, events moved
rapidly Tuesday afternoon.
An alternate juror was chosen
In event one member of the panel
became Ill, the trial could con-
tinue without interruption.
Speed Surprises
The state surprised spectators
and Defense Attorney James Sell
den alike with the speed in which
1t completed its case against the
woman who met the man she shot
to death via correspondence.
Deputy Prosecutor Hugo Metz
Ter. jr.. opened the states case by
making a short statement to the
jury, in which he asserted the
prosecution would show that
George LaZette was shot through
the heart :. that he died short
time afterward =. that Mrs. La
Zette fired the gun that caused
the mans death.
Can Four Witnesses
But four witnesses were called

police officers told of finding the

"A junior officer with a family
Of two or three is stationed on a

by the oflicer. The cost Of medical

Ger. In brief, 1t is not difncult to
build up an entirely possible. and
not improbable, situation which
would justify granting the protec-

the protection afforded by this bill
to enlisted men of the Regular
Army.
THE assumed situation cited Is
by no means typical of the 375 900
men in the Regular Army, but 1t
is distinctly a possibility and one
which would merit the protection

This brings us to consideration
of class 7, officers and warrant Of.
ficers of the Regular Army. At
first glance there appears to be no
necessity for including them within
the provisions of the legislation.
Considering their higher rate Of pay,
there appears even less need than

Of this measure. Generally such
officers are meticulously careful in
meeting finapcial obligations. How
ever, the existence Of = possibility
OF need for protection cannot be
denied, and in such q case it should
be granted.
There are adequate safeguards
incorporated in this measure to pre-
vent abuse of any privilege granted
hereunder. The findings Of any
court must be predicated upon q
showing that the ability to meet
obligations is impaired by reason
of military service. Also, there Is
an express provision aimed to pre-
vent taking advantage Of the act
with intent to delay enforcement
of right. The conclusion must
be that all persons in the military
service should be included in the
provisions of this legislation"

their ssmall pay is based largely on
the relative infrequency with which
they are required to change sta
ton. Their wives may contribute
to the family income by obtaining
employment on the military post or
in nearby communities. They may
live in modest rented houses in
the community, may purchase furni-
ture and secondhand cars on the
installment plan. and for all prac-
tical purposes they are relatively
permanent members of the civilian
community. An emergency arises,
troops are suddenly ordered into the
field for extended training periods,
to foreign service or to other sta
tions. The wife, if employed on
the military post. may lose her

Speaking of minor prophets, the anonymous author of a book called The New Dealers" published in 1884, said "(Edward J0 Flynn is the coming man of national Dem ocratic politics"
 Incidentally, the fellow described him as "a reasonably well-educated man, has read widely, collects Pen nell etchings and knows something about economics. He can carry on an intelligent conversation on all most any subject, has a delightful sense of humor and plays a fair game of golf He's just like a suc- cessful uptown business man. "
 He went on to say that the new National Democratic Committee Chairman is "shrewd and able, far abler than Farley
 Observers here oon't bother to argue that . it couldn't be proved one way or the other. But what they do say is that Farley and Flynn are thicker than Siamese twins and that the Democrats this year have got themselves. in ef- feet, TWO National Chairmen.

0UTkODED CODES
 CHECK BUILDING
Immediate Critical Exam ination Necessary 10
 Alleviate Problem

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Many of the building codes now in eff feet in the United States should receive immediate critical exam ination to determine how far they are impeding the standardization and materials and retarding low cost home construction activity. ac- cording to Federal Housing Admin istration officials.
 Studies of building codes, con- ducted by the Federal Housing Ad- mlnlstration in connection with the preparation of localized con- struction requirements and prop erty standards for properties se- curing FILA insured mortgages. have disclosed wide variations and discrepancies in fundamental fac- tual provisions of existing codes.
 So far as can be determined, many variations cannot be justified on grounds of public health or safety or climatic conditions, it is said.
 Many codes fail to make provis- ion for ready acceptance of new materials and methods, it is claimed. When this occurs the public is denied the benefits of pos sible cost savings or improved con- struction, the science of building is retarded, invention is discouraged. and intelligent solution of a prob lem may be prevented.
 It is estimated that about 20 per cent of the building codes in exist ence now are from 15 to 20 years old.
