WASHINGTON. May t. (API
.-?Tho senate advanced the Roo
sevelt legislative program another
notch today, while the house
stood still with parliamentary ob
jections blocking action on the
administration farm relief - in
flation hill.
The Roosevelt bill to protect
Investors In new issues of secur
ities by compelling publication of
all pertinent Information as to
their soundness was passed by the
. senate. Already approved by the
house, it now goes- to conference.
Democratic house leaders were
balked In their plan for a vote on
the farm-bill provision for a gov-
ernmental guarantee of the cost
of production to the farmer. This
' is the last dispute standing In the
way of final passage.
Point Upheld but
Vote Is Imminent
A republican point of order was
raised that the conference report
contains language approved by
neither house, in violation of par
liamentary rules. This was upheld
by the ohalr, but shortly after
ward, the rules committee ap
proved a plan of action which Is
expected to bring a vote tomorrow
n d e r procedure prohibiting
points of order. The first vote
will be on house approval of this
procedure.
The production cost guarantee
was written into the bill by the
senate. Administration leaders
were confident if the house re
jects the provision, the senate
will precede from Its position
.making it possible to send the
farm bill, with It inflation rider,
to the White House in a few days
French and British
Stubborn en Debts
While congress wrestled with
these domestic issues, apprehen
sion grew lest a dispute over war
debts might endanger the success
of the coming world economic
conference. The French cabinet
decided unanimously against pay
ing the defaulted December in
stallment of 119,000,000 unless
the United States promises post
ponement of the payment due in
June. Simultaneously, word was
received from London the Brit
ish are holding out for a post
ponement of their June Install
ment as a condition of Joining the
tariff truce proposed by President
Roosevelt.
The developments brought the
chief executive, still smiling and
confident, face to face with a
grave decision whether be should
ask congress for authority to deal
with war debts, as was his indi
cated intention a wefek ago.

Part of her Remarks are
However Ruled out as
Defense Objects
Shivers of Hallowe'en! What
other than ghosts could cause a
barrel to roll uphill along the
border of a cemetery, Carl Charl
ton, night trafJic officer, must
have wondered in the wee hours
of Monday morning. Upon return
ing to police headquarters from
an investigation trip to City View
cemetery, he reported seeing
Just thai a barrel rolling up
the Hoyt street nui.
The blasts of the night's gaie
which played eerie tunes on the
cemetery trees gave the officer
the clue to the weird phenomenon
he witnessed.
The windstorm early yesterday
at times reached a velocity of 82
miles an hour, airport weather
observers reported.
EUGENE, Ore., May 8 (AP)
The remarks of a ten-year-old
girl, the daughter of the defend
ants, were ordered stricken from
the records in circuit court here
today after having been entered
by a prosecution witness against
Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn A. Banks,
on trial for first degree murder
for the slaying of George Prescott,
Medford constable.
Miss Charlotte de Ford, rela
tive of a state policeman, who was
sent to the Banks home lmmedi
ately after Prescott had been shot
to death there, testified that Mrs
Banks told the child "Daddy ahot
Mr. Prescott." "Oh, mother, Is he
dead?" the witness quoted the
girl, and the mother's reply "I
don't know, he's lying out there
on the porch."
Only after the witness had
quoted the child, Ruth May
Banks, as having said "Ob, moth
er, I knew he would do it," did
the defense interpose an objection
to such testimony. The court sus
tained the objection and the Jury
of six men and six women were
Instructed to take no note of the
remarks.
Earlier in the day Al Lumsden,
detective sergeant of state police,
had testified that when the child
returned from school Mrs. Banks
had told her "daddy has killed
Mr. Prescott. He s lying out on
the porch." This testimony passed
unchallenged.

160.000 ransom had been recov
ered In Kenneth s home, appeared
before Judge Robert A. Welsh, 82,
Massachusetts' young Jurist.
Kenneth, 28, unemployed chauf
feur, ereated a furore shortly be
fore his appearance In court by
telling reporters there was "an
other party" Involved In the kid
naping, but that he was withhold
ing his Identity because he was
afraid of what might happen to
his wife.
Sa: s Wife in Peril ,
If He Tells Truth
The young confessed kidnaper
later retracted his statement and
detectives reiterated their belief
no one else was Involved.
While awaiting arraignment
Kenneth was asked: "Is it true
that there Is some one else In this
case?"
"Yes, there is," he replied, and
began to sob.
I am between tnem and my
wife," he said, "and I don't know
what to do. I know I didn't do it
and she knows I didn't do It. I
am between them and my wife
and I can't say anything."
Asked If the "somebody else '
had left him to take the blame he
replied:
'Yes, they ran away and left
me."
He answered "No, ' when asked.
If the person or persons lived In
Harwiehport.
At first Kenneth said two oth
er men were Involved but later
changed It to one.
"They dumped the kid on my
hands, he sobbed."
Kenneth was arraigned on a
charge of kidnaping and extortion
while his brother, IS years his
senior, was charged with extor
tion alone.
A special session of the grand
Jury will convene next week and
if indictments are returned on the
basis of what police claim are
confessions by both men the us
ual preliminary hearing will be
eliminated.

officials Investigated reports
gangsters financed by Chicago's
Capone gang" were attempt
ing to gain control of Detroit's
brewing and S.2 beer distribution
business.
Assertion Capone money
1250.000 of It had been used
to finance a Detroit gang syndi
cate now in control of five or six
breweries in the Detroit area
came from the Detroit News. The
paper said five breweries already
are owned by gangsters, some of
them even now under indictment
It declared respectable hemes are
listed in the brewery directorates
as "fronts."
The syndicate needed money,
the News said, and 1250.000 came
from the Capone "mob" in ex
change for stock in the breweries
Speculating on the reported de
velopment, the News said Indica

has ambitions to resolve itself in
to a gigantic "national beer
trust" by extending financial aid
to similar gangs In smaller cities,
receiving stock in return.
Frank A. Picard, chairman of
the newly-formed Michigan liqu
or control commission, which su
pervises the licensing of brewer
ies, said a defensive alliance be
tween federal and state govern
ments to combat any gangster ac
tions has been made. No federal
license will be recommended for
any brewery which has not al
ready obtained a state license, he
said, and no state license will be
issued until federal authorities
assure the state they will grant
the brewery a. license to operate
The News said none of the fire
breweries already reported un
der gangster ownership, as well
as another reported under their
control, has yet been granted a
license to operate.

(AP) The organization of 60

"sportsmen's clubs" was proposed
to the state game commission at
Its annual meeting here today by
Miss Nadlne Strayer of Baker,
Ore., former student at Willam

belief that such organization
would eventually result in an In
crease of $150,000 In fees from
fishing and hunting licenses.
"There are perhaps 2,000 wom
en in the state now who annually
buy fishing or hunting licenses,'
she told the commission.
"Thousands of skirted anglers
are evading the game laws every
year. They go fishing with their
husbands or other male relatives
and think nothing of having a li
cense. If these women were under
the scrutiny of organized sports
women's clubs they wouldn't dare
to break the law. ..".

PORTLAND, Ore., May 8
(AP) Moving swiftly after their
week of study of proposed ; bod
gets for the coming year, the Ore
gon state board of higher educa
tion met here today and allotted
funds for 1933-34 on essentially
the basis submitted by Dr. W. J.
Kerr, state chancellor of higher
education. The board provided for
centralization of the work of
agriculture at Oregon State col
lege, appropriated 55,000 -for mu
nicipal research at the University
of Oregon, and adjourned.
Every member of the board waa
present except Mrs. Cornelia Mar
vin Pierce, who is in Washington.
C. The meeting was described
as harmonious in every respect.
Scanning prospective income
after the succession of cuts the
educational - funds have suffered.
the board allowed for a further
reduction of 10 per cent from mil
la;e because of falling assessment
valuations, and estimated that the
total unrestricted Income from all
sources, including student fees.
will be 82.369.068.51. The esti
mated requirements on the basis
of the budget adopted are $2,278,-
1 88.19, which will be used to op
erate all six of the state'a institu
tions of higher learning for the
year beginning July 1.
Tried to Maintain
AU of Essentials
Chancellor Kerr emphasised
that although the budget is 20.1
per cent under that of a year ago,
every effort has been made to
maintain all essentials in instruc
tional work on all campusea.
Slashes as high as 48 per rest
were made In administrative coats
and extension, he said.
Staff reductions are severe, the
chancellor stated, yet the "blow"
was softened as far as possible by
dividing the work so more per
sons will be on a part time and
fewer on a full time basis. Bven
so. he said, the reduction of sal
aried start members on a full-time
equivalent basis will be consider
able compared to last year.
Summer schools are Included
in the budget and will be held
as usual at Eugene, Corvallli and
Portland with a post session at
Eugene. They will be held, how
ever, on a much reduced Income
and will depend more on student
fees. The normal schools are on
a four-term basis, so the sum
mer work Is a regular part of
their instruction year.
Radio station KOAC at Oregon
State college was retained fa the
budget,' but on an allowance
more than a third under that
of last year. Staff members of
the station offered to go on two
thirds time.
