POLITICAL
ROUNDUP
By ARTHUR NAFTALIN


With each passing week it be
comes more apparent that the 1874;
legislative session will be just abou
the diEziest merry-go-round that
the state has ever seen. Demand!
for financial assistance or new
legislation TO help solve pressing
state and local problems will be
unprecedented In number and in
amounts Of requested appropria.
tons. Many Of the demands will
be virtually irresistible, and, if
anything short Of a drastic curtail-
ment Of existing state services is
TO be avoided, the legislature will
have to find ways and means Of
raising from $4,000, 900 to $4O,-
900, 900 in additional revenue, de-
pending upon which requests II de-
cides to fulfill.
II you doubt the magnitude Of the
problem facing the legislature, pom
der for 4 moment the following list
Of major items, which is by no
means Rll-inclusive;
BONUS FOR VETERANS
This item leads all the rest be-
cause its adoption Is regarded
as a certainty, and, depending
upon what Ii provided In the way
Of benefits, Its total cost will be
In the neighbOrhOOd Of 500, ,OOO..
600.
GENERAL STATE FINANCE
Wholly aside from the considera-
ton Of bonus or any major new
commitments, the state will need
an estimated $4,000, 900 or more
just to meet increased operational
costs for existing services and to
pay salary and wage increases to
state employees, regarded as in
escapable in view Of the rise in
living costs.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE -
The $40 monthly maximum on
old age pensions will most likely
be revised upward, constituting
another major outlay.
UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES
The state institutions Of higher
learning with their unprecedented
enrollments will require additional
allOtments running into the mil
lions.
SCHooLS-Almost every school
district in the state wants an in
creased share in state aid. II it
isn't forthcoming, educational
standards will drop to an alarming
ly low level.
AID TO MUNICIPALITIES 49,
The plight of the cities will be
dramatized most vigorously be-
cause their distress, in the face Of
rising costs, has become extremely
acute. The cities will demond

The Legislative headache, how
ever, will not be an exclusively
financial one. There will be pres
sure for new legislation which,
while requiring no major financial
outlay, will be highly controver-
sial and will keep legislators on
the hop between rounds. For ex-

saw the gaping wound in Mans left
shoulder. She died in his arms the
next morning.
Mr.. Beach said the men took his
20 caliber rifle, their clothing
cameras, medical supplies and food
and then fled into the darkness.

attack" Mr.. Beach told the Asso-
ciated Press, twas that they desired
her, so to speak, and got the wrong
one when they shot. don't see
why they didn't kill us BOTH"
Graphic Story Of Death Fight
Mr.. Beach, still suffering from a
bad case of nerves and chain
smoking cigarettes, told the Asso-
ciated Press this graphic story OF
his 11-hour fight to save the life OF
his pretty bride.
After the men had fled I got Nan
to the canoe which I had built at
Taxco. She was suffering terrif1cally
she was terribly conscious all the
time. I made her as comfortable as
I could on an air mattress in the
bottom of the canoe.
"It was chilly and we had only the
clothes we had been sleeping in. I
had on pair of blue jeans and a
flannel shirt and Nan had on her
heavy shirt and a pair of brown
shoes. She had taken of her hiking
trousers when we went to bed"
Mr.. Beach said he bandaged the
wound "as best I could" to stop the
squirting blood which had soaked
her shirt.
1T was dark" he said, "awfully
dark, with no moon to help me find
my way along that river and over
the shallow rapids. I padded and
padded until I thought my arms
would fall of. knew If I kept
on down the river sooner or later
I would come to a town. Some times
we would hit snags and then again
low hanging trees would smash me
in the face"
Med Nan said as dawn came,
I can't hold out any longer. Please
Ned, take me ashore I told her
Nan, darling, please try to make
it. I can see some church spires, I'm
going to get you to a DOCTOR"

eve got to the beach near the
town." he said. 'but Nan was in
coma. I picked her up and laid her
on the beach and then started CIV
ing her artificial respiration. I
called for help. I don't know what
I said. I guess I just screamed at
the top of my voice"
Nan died in my arms there on
the beach,"
People came running and then
brought the village priest from San
Miguel Church, David Jaimes, and
the doctor.
Not knowing that Nan had died
and assuming she was Catholic the
priest administered extreme JUNCTION.
"The doctor pronounced Nan
dead" Mr.. Beach said, "and later
he told me that she couldn't have
lived under any circumstances.
1--WE carried her up to the viii
lage."
Mr.. Beach said there were only
two coff1ns in town, one decorated
in bright colors with Indian designs

and the other a white one with
carving which he bought.
The young artist still faces cer-
tain legal routine because Of the
requirements of Mexican law.
Mr.. Beach sought only to bring
his wife's body here as quickly as
possible and because the United
States Embassy arranged for a pri-
vate plane to 60 to Totolapan
promptly, Mr.. Beach left there be-
fore the state of Guerrero authori-
ties knew anything about the crime.
Consequently, the case has been
placed in the hands of the attorney
general of the Federal District, who
will examine the only witness, Mr..
Beach, and make a report which the
governor of Guerrero then can
adopt as his to satisfy the law.
Will Appear Monday.
The Federal District authorities
performed an autopsy on Mrs.
Beach's body last night and had
the husband identify his wife.
Monday, MIR. Beach has been sum-
moned to appear at the attorney
generals Office here in what cor
responds to a police examination to
establish what happened. Ordinarily
the police, in such a case, where
there are no other witnesses would
require the reconstruction Of the
crime. This is routine. Authorities
saw no reason to have Mr.. Beach
return to the camp killing scene
since they say the facts are accepted.

He said the ashes would be taken to
Paola, Kan, his wife's family home,
where the funeral services would
be held.
In Philadelphia Mr.. Beach was
identified as the son OF Frederick G.
Beach, wealthy resident of Hartford,
Conn. Mrs. Beach attended Bryn
Mawr College, from October, 1914,
until last February, when she COM
pleted the first semester of her soph-
omore year there.
Friends Of the Peiker family in
New York said the Beaches were
married June 3, 1916, at st. Bar
tholomew's Episcopal Church there
and that her father is a mortgage
broker in New York.
Mr.. Beach's Identification in
Philadelphia as the son of Frederick
G. Beach was disputed in Hartford,
where a relative said the artist was
the son of Thomas Coff1ng Beach Of
nearby Pennington, a wealthy re-
tired farmer. The father was un-
available for comment.

acting controls are built into the
unit and consist of a line voltage,
electric pilot magnetic valve and
a limit switch wired in series. They
are tested and synchronized at the
factory before shipment.
Warm air is forced through the air
ducts by blower or fan. The fan
and motor are mounted on rubber
for quietness. The entire heating
plant is suspended from the rafters
Of the roof and takes up the miAi-
mum amount of space with the
maximum of safety. Since they are
situated above the rooms and using
the forced flow Of warm air from
the heating tubes, the air ducts are
considerably shorter than If the
heating plant was situated in the
basement. Another advantage is
that the grilles are in the upper part
OF the side walls. That also con-
serves space and the grilles will not
interfere with the arrangement of
the furniture or break up a useful
wall area.
Plant Can Be Placed Anywhere.
In the summertime, the blower
can be used to draw the warm air
out OF the house and discharge 1t
into the attic. From there, 1t will
pass through ventilators or attic
windows. The chimney connection
for the vent pipe carrying of any
fumes from the burned gas is easily
made. If there is no chimney,
there is no need to build one of full
length. A properly selected and
installed vent pipe is sufficient.
The placing of this heating plant
is not confined to the attic. It
can be put in the utility room or if
there is basement it can be hung
from the floor joists where it will not
interfere with the. use of the base
ment as much as it would If placed
on the floor.
The manufacturers make four
different sizes Of the unit and their
shipping weights vary from about
450 pounds to half a ton.

Of the roof. Nevertheless, no house
was ever designed by competent
architect without a plan showing
the rafters, plates, ridge boards and
braces which would properly sup
port the roof and it is this plan
which the home owner could check
during the course Of the construc-
ton If he would have a sturdy cap
on his house.
After the roof frame has been
fabricated there are various methods
OF applying the finished covering.
When wood shingles are used, nail
ing strips are fastened to the rafters
and shingles nailed to them, or wide
boards, well spaced apart and known
as open sheathing, are used in place
of the mailing strips. When compo-
sition, asphalt or asbestos shingles
are used, solid boarding known as
solid sheathing is laid over the
rafters, then waterproof paper ap-
piled and the shingles nailed over
that. The same procedure is fol-
lowed with slate shingles, and in
metal roofs the paper is omitted
over the solid sheathing.
Every style or type of house calls
for an appropriate roof in design,
color and texture. AS a rule your
plans indicate what is right for the
house and then it becomes your job
to select the brand Of roof material
that will follow out the plan and
likewise present enduring service.
Roof repairs and replacements are
the most expensive Of all.
All roofs require Hastings around
the chimneys, in the valleys where
the direction of the roof changes
and around dormer windows and
plumbing stacks. These must be
made of nonrusting metal such as
copper, lead or zinc. Sheet iron,
even though galvanized, is not too
good and the very heaviest of tarred

The value of roof is based on the
structure which supports it. Grant
ing that the walls of a house are
sufficiently strong to hold the roof
structure up, the next important
thing is the roof frame or rafters
that make up the rough skeleton.
Few people realize the number Of
different roofs they see as they
pass through a residential district.
There are gable roofs, hip roofs,
gambrel roofs and shed or fiat-type
roofs, as well as variations and
combinations of two or more of
them. Each type of roof construc-
tion calls for different construction
of the roof frame and this is further
complicated by dormer windows,
valleys and variations in the pitch
