PARDON PLEA OF
 DIVER STUDIED
Governor Sewall of Maine Authorized Opening of
 Some Secret Files

Augusta, Me-, May lb. - (UP)-l Gov. Sumner Sewall and his coun- Gil studied the pardon plea of a. year-old Paul N. Dwyer today after authorizing the opening of secret files containing evidence bearing on the murder for which the South Paris youth and deputy sheriff both were imprisoned for life.
 For more than four hours yester- day the governor and council heard testimony bearing on the imprison- ment of Dwyer and former Deputy Sheriff Francis M. Carroll for the murder of pr. James c. Littlefleld, a country doctor, who with his wife was slain in October 1887.
 After the youths mother, his counsel and Q minister had pleaded for his release which was opposed by Carroll's lawyer and three state officers, the governor announced a decision would not be reached for several days.
 Case Is Reviewed
 In reviewing the case, Defense Counsel E. Walker Abbott told how Dwyer was found sleeping in a parked auto at North Arlington, N. J., Oct. Is, 1887 with the bludg- eoned body of the 66-year -old doc tor stuffed in the trunk. In the tonneau was the doctors strangled 64-year-old wife.
 Dwyer, he said, confessed the crime because of fears for his life and was sentenced. But six months later the confession was repudiated and 46-year-old Carroll his girl friends father, was named. Carroll was convicted in August 1888 and also sentenced to a life term.
 Tearfully. Mrs. Jessie Dwyer said she consented to her sons guilty plea only after bein gtold It was the best thing for the boy"
 If they had told me. he changed his story only after Car roll had threatened to Kill him and kill me-" she said. T would never have consented to let him plead guilty to a crime he had not com mitted."

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May 16-- Charges of delay on legislation were reversed yesterday as Republicans, who have remained silent on criti- cisms of their failure to act on many important bills in the House, att tackled the Democrats for the same procedure in the Senate.
 Senator William J. Shea, Repub- lican minority leader, declared that the Democrats were letting the cal- endar in the upper chamber grow to an unwieldly size by falling to take action on legislation at the proper time. He charged that Dem. ocratic committee chairmen were neglecting their duties and suggest

 Atty.-Gen. Frank I. Cowan, de- scrlbing an extortion attempt in which Dwyer tried to obtain money from 6 South Paris manufacturer, opposed the petition. Cowan con- tended Dwyer cant plea he's a good boy. He can't plead he Is a safe person to turn loose on so- ciety."
 Carroll's counsel, Clyde R. Chap- man, also opposed the pardon and disclosed he held petition for a pardon for his client. He obtained permission to re-examine files of evidence compiled by the late Ralph M. Ingalls, special prosecutor Of the Dwyer trial.

White Prompt Thank You Note
For Every Wedding Gift
BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Authority on Good Manners
For the Many Thoughtful Wedding Gifts
Ny Daily Thanks / Write

THIS. YOU brides-to-be. is
your golden rule for thanking
for your wedding gifts.
For every wedding present,
write a thank-you note. and
write it promptly-the day the
gift is received. if you possibly
can. You've just opened the
gift, your appreciation is fresh
and warm in your heart. and it
will, therefore, be easier for you
to write a warm-hearted and
enthusiastic note of thanks.
There's a special glow about a
thank-you note written immedi-
ately after a gift has been re-
ceived.
There are two kinds of brides
to-be. There is the girl who,
happily. has the gift of courtesy
and appreciation. She is the
girl who looks at her wedding
presents from the point of view
of the giverS.

In these friendly little notes
she chats with the giver. thanks
for the kindness, mentions the
gift specifically, includes the
groom's thanks, and gives her
note a browning glory by telling
how she and the groom plan to
use the gift in their new home.
Then. alas, there's the other
kind of bride-to-be-the take

casual, careless, discourteous,

4O-Cent Hourly Pay Asked
For Drug Industry Worker

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A min
imum wage of 40 cents an hour for all
employees engaged in the manufac-
ture of drugs, medicines and toilet
preparations was recommended in a
report by an industry committee to
Colonel Philip B. Fleming, administra-
tor Of the Wage and Hour Division.
The recommendation, if approved by
the administrator after public hear
ing, will increase the wage rate of
some 5000 employees. Approximately
$4,000 workers are employed in about
1900 establishments whose products
bring them within the industry as de-
fined for the purpose of establishing
a minimum wage.
The recommendation was voted by
a majority of the committee-12 to 6
The employer members voted against
the recommendation after motions for
35-cent and a 371a-c minimum
wage proposed by members of the
employer representatives had failed
to carry.

Green Halls Ford Decision

Miami (ILNS).-President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor said here that the Supreme
Courts refusal to review the Ford Mo-
tor Company River Rouge case was a
decision "that will strengthen and en-
courage the Ford employees in their de-
sire to organize"
"Ford as we'll as other employers
must see clearly that the right to or
ganize and bargain collectively must
be respected and obeyed," Green said.
"The fact that this is C. o. case
will not prevent the A. F. of L. from
organizing Ford employees into unions.
Nothing will stop our campaign.
"This decision will strengthen it, as
it establishes definitely and clearly
the right of employees to organize into
union of their own choosing without
fear of coercion"

From Ireland, they sought liberty,
with better food supply
From Germany, they left a land

From many another land, they came
seeking liberties
Which they found here, beyond what
they knew how to expect.
