Chaplin

Chaplin and his co-defendants will
be arraigned April IL before
Federal Judge j. F. II. O'Connor,
who heard the Mann act case.
The lawyers said they would not
bother about the paternity suit of
Miss Barry, who claims Chaplin is
the father of her infant daughter,
until the conspiracy case is settled.
The verdict of the seven women
and five men on the jury caught
Miss Barry speechless, but she re-
covered quickly and said:

or another. l was just govern

in my heart, neither hate, revenge,
sorrow, nor love. Enotionally you
might almost say I'm dead.

Some of the feminine jurors were
bitter in their denunciation of Miss
Barry. Comment of Mrs. Lydia
Hussey, one of the five housewives
who helped judge the case, was
typical She said:
Joan Barry is the type of girl
that Christ died for. 1t was a red

One feminine admirer even leaped
the rail in her haste and exclaimed
breathlessly:
"Oh, Charlie, I think you are the
most wonderful man in the world
1t was the only verdict you de-
served"
Some of the women by now were
weeping in their excitement, while
the frenzied photographers carpeted

coherent statement to the press.

New Price. Pay
Plan Studied

WASHINGTON, April 5. tUP) A
new stabilization formula-under
which a rise or fall in either wage
on general price levels would au-
thorize corresponding change in
ceilings on the other-is now under
consideration as an amendment to
the price control act, It was revealed
today
Rep La Vern Dilweg D.-Wis0, ,
a member of the house banking
committee, said the new plan was
designed to eliminate the old argu-
ment between labor and agriculture
that one is getting wage or price
increases at the expense Of the
other.
Dilweg, one of several banking
committee members remaining in
the capital over the Easter recess
10 study proposed changes in the
price control act, said the new plan
probably will be introduced by Reps.
Albert Gore (D.-Tenn), and A. S.
Mike Monroney D.-Okla0.
II adopted, he said, il would either
replace or supplement the Little
Steel formula, which permits wage
increases of Is per cent over Janu-
airy, 194l, levels.
Dilweg noted that much of the
criticism Of the Little Steel formula
results from the fact that it permits
wage adjustments only to compen-
safe for a Is per cent increase in
living costs while government sta
tistics show that costs actually have
risen 25 per cent.
The Fore -Monroney proposal, by
linking wages and living costs,
would under existing conditions al
low another eight per cent wage
boost to workers who have already
received the maximum IS per cent
allowable under the Little Steel
yardstick, he said
The principle of the plan, it was
said, is that living costs have near
