BOLzANO, Italy CBy Air
MaiD-That the South Tyrol
is a German land is beyond
doubt to the visitor. The
names of the streets and gov
eminent Offices - including
the headquarters of the Army
Corps - are in German and
Italian. But the porters at
the railway station and hotel.
the taxi drivers and walters
speak only German, even if
it is obvious that they under
stand the language of Dante.
There is still concealed bit
terness between leaders of
the Tyrolean nationalists and
representatives of the italian
government, although there
is definitely a m S h m a h
which in many instances is
amusing to the foreign OBJ
server. The leader of the
Tyrolean (Germanic) nation
alist party, for instance, bears
the proud Italian name of Dr..
SilVio Magnago. His father
was Italian, but his mother
was Tyrolean. He became a
Tyrolean nationalist because
he could thus best further his
political career.
On the other hand, many

The charming government

Mrs. Neuberger May Accept

the hope that Mrs. Neuberger
would carry on for him. She
repeated that hope on the
Senate floor.
There are. of course, other
Oregon Democrats, including
a woman, who aspire to the
Senate. Representative Edith
Green of Portland has flown
home and will make her
decision there. Representa-
tive Charles Porter is still
to be heard from. Both are
liberals in the Neuberger
pattern.
1t is possible also that Gov.
Mark Hatfield will now change
his mind about not seek
ing the Republican Senate
nomination. He had been
unwilling to run against
Senator Neuberger and to
leave the State house in mid
term apparently feeling that
the senior Democratic SEN
ator, Wayne Morse, would be
an easier. target in 1862.
One Of Gov. Hatfield's
problems is that If he comes
to Washington he will be
succeeded by the Democratic
president of the State Sem
ate, Walter Pearson. Gov.
Hatfield would, all hands sug-
gested, be his party's strong
est candidate.
Meanwhile, he has the
power of appointment of
Senator Neuberger's success
sor until the election. 1t is
assumed he will do nothing
about that until after the
primaries close Friday.

The Supreme Court of the
United States added this
week to the confusion and
inconsistency which too often
characterize its hair-split-
ting decisions. Even the best
lawyers in the country must
be baff1ed now in attempting
to say just what the "law of
the land" is today with refer
ence to the distribution of
anonymous handbills.
The high court struck down
a Los Angeles city ordinance
which required the sponsors
and distributors of such hand
bills to identify themselves to
the public. The court said this
would infringe on the right
Of free speech and free press.
For many decades now, I'M
der a law of Congress, news
papers and other publications
have faced a loss of their Sec
-class-mail privileges if
they did not publish at least
once a year the names of
their principal officers, own
erS and holders Of their bonds
or mortgages. This law has
been upheld by the Supreme
Court.
But if newspapers are re-
quired to disclose their own
ership and managing person.
mel, why should another set
OF citizens be allowed to carry
on campaigns of various
kinds by distributing printed
matter on the streets with
out having to reveal their
sponsors?
The Supreme Court, more
over. has upheld heretofore
the law requiring that lobby
lists in Congress must regu-
larry register and disclose the
identity of their sponsors.
The right of disclosure has
long been ruled to be a pub
lie right and in no way an
infringement on the First
Amendment guarantees of

A brief agricultural report
has caused Republican STRAIT
egists to experience cold
sweats and a feeling of i'm
pending danger.
The department announced
that statistics now available
for 1859 showed the farm
population had an average
income in that year of $500,
compared with $2,202 for the
nonfarm population.
The cold sweats came out
Of the next sentence.
I'm 1853" said the report,
"the farm figure was ,430
and the nonfarm average
$2,073.
The 1859 farm income fig
ure would have been even
smaller, the announcer said,
except that the farm popu-
lation declined an estimated
2 per cent"
Farm operators, of course,
experienced a like decline.
The average net income for
this classification was $2,547
for 1859 as compared with
$1,000 in 1858. This income
is the average left after pay
ing production COSTS
Income of the farm popula-
ton, operators, their families,
hired workers and their fam
lilies, aggregated $l3,619,-

$16,OO6, 100000 in 1858
This is political dynamite.
If the Democrats can deto-
nate it they can win the 1860
presidential election. To do
this they must find an articu-
late candidate, and one who
can spell out in simple Ian
guage what he and his party
can do about it. Whether the
Democrats can discover such
a nominee and whether they
can then communicate with
the disconnected in agricul-

But all the lies, he said, were
because he was trying 70 pro-
tect Mrs. Putney or arose
through confusion due to long
hours of questioning.
Telegram Queried
For instance. there was the
telegram Motherwell sent from
San Francisco to Mrs. Putuey's
half-brother, Castro M. Dab
rohua of Chicago. 1t said Mrs.
Putney was to get married.
Why, Mr.. Compton wanted
to know. did Motherwell conceal
from Las Vegas police The fact
he had sent the wire?
Il concealed it until they
showed they knew I sent it,"
the defendant said frankly.
Motherwell insists that when
Mrs. Putney and he parted in
Las Vegas on August Is. 1858,
she wanted him to send the
wire from another city so she
could get a head start on Mr..
Dabrohua. who might inter-
fere.
Didn't you ever say Sis, old
dear, if you want to get a head
start on old Castro. why don't
you write him a letter instead
of sending him a telegram"
Mr.. Compton asked. with heavy
irony.
Motherwell said he had
raised the point.
Mr.. Compton questioned him
closely about the timetable he
said he followed from Mays
vile, Calf, the morning of
August Is, until he arrived at
the San Francisco airport the
next evening.
Motherwell says he and the
widow returned to Las Vegas.
parted, and he went on to San
Francisco, via Reno, where he
bought an airline ticket.
Weren't you burning up the
highways" the burly prosecu-
tor asked?
Il drive fairly fast" Moth
erwell replied.
Wasn't the Reno stop some
thing new-absent from all of
his previous accounts?
Yes, Motherwell admitted,
but that was just due to con-
fusion.
The State claims that some
where after Marysville, Mother
well murdered Mrs. Putney and
left her body in a mountain
canyon in lonely Yuba Pass,
81 miles east of here.
"She Was Company"
Mr.. Compton also inquired why
Motherwell had taken Marie
Colley Of Roanoke, Va, to
Florida with him on a business
trip. Was she just a sideline?
In a way, yes" Motherwell
replied. "She was company"
He admitted that "she might
have been given a good line"
when he persuaded her to &C.
company him. He also said
he might have wired Mrs.
Putney for 1925 to help finance
a cross-country jaunt with
Miss Colley-one of Mother
wells three companions on
coast-to-coast trips.
The defendant, who appeared
pale and nervous during most
of Mr.. Compton's questioning,
began to grin as the lawyer
asked him about a letter he
had written to a New Orleans

day admitting he is a first-rate
liar.
During croSS-examination BY
Special Prosecutor Lynn D
Compton, Motherwell admitted
he lied constantly during ques-
tioning by a series Of lawmer
in the months following r.
year-old Mrs. Putney's disap-
pearance in the Sierra Nevada
foothills of California.
Mr.. Compton stirred the
crowded courtroom when he
mentioned the name Sally NJ
Beeman of Norfolk. Va.
Mr.. Compton first determined
that Motherwell had been
broken up" by the death OF
his second wife, the former
Sarah McLurkin, who was
found dead in the bathtub OF
their Washington home in Mo-
vember, 1858.
Apartment Questioned
Then why, Mr.. Compton
wanted to know, did Mother
well arrange for an apartment
for Sally and himself in Fred
erick. Md, Just IL days after
Sarah's death.
You have proof of that, sir?"
asked Motherwell.
do you think / am bluffing?"
Mr.. Compton replied. produc-
ing the documents.
Motherwell made no clear re-
ply when asked If he was WOO
ling Miss Beeman at the time
his wife died. or if he knew she
was getting a divorce to marry
him.
Another question brought
murmurs from the spectators
Prior to Sarah's death, did
Motherwell obtain a post Office
box in Frederick?
Motherwell said he had.
Past Brought Up
Mr.. Compton also managed
to bring up more of the de-
PENDANTS past in mentioning
the daughter Sarah bore Moth
erwell. He referred to the time
Motherwell was arrested in
Knoxville, Tenn, for wearing a
Navy officers uniform. He had
told people there he was re-
turning from Korea to attend
his baby's funeral.
"Sarah'S baby had been buried
for some time, hadn't she," Mr..
Compton asked. Motherwell
agreed.
You knew where the baby
was buried, didn't your" he
continued.
Motherwell said yes again.
Motherwell has a d nit e d
burying the baby in Frederick
pet cemetery after she strangled
to death accidentally. A grand
jury had ignored charges he
killed the child.
Reyes Objects
Defense Attorney John T.
Reyes objected to questions
about the baby and Sarah. and
moved for a mistrial on the
grounds the jury had been in
famed.
Judge Warren Steel would
not grant the mistrial but ruled
out any further questions about
the dead wife and baby.
During the intense cross
examination by Mr.. Compton,
Motherwell, speaking in a low
monotone, stuck to his story
that he had been hired to
travel cross-country with Mrs.
Putney and that he had broken
off the trip after the widow
made romantic advances to
him.
