The new deadline was made known
to Hockley Tuesday in a telegram

announcement a "bombshell", and
urged that all those considering ap

The change in the deadline will
materially affect the supplemental

Hockley explained the distinctions
between projects which might receive
WPA aid and those eligible for the
45 per cent grant from PWA funds.
The latter Is available only for rec

REVAL, Esthonia, Aug. 21.
(U.R) Paul Voigemast, condemned
murderer, stoically lifted a "hem
lock cup" of deadly poison to bis
lips today and fell dead, his own
official executioner on behalf of
the state.
It was the first legal self-execution
in modern history, under
Esthonia's new law giving a con
demned man the choice of being
hanged or killing himself with
Pokon.
The murderer was handed tbe
poison cup, containing potassium
cyanide a poison so deadly thst
in its pure form a drop on the
tongue kills almost like a stroke
of lightning, paralyzing the heart
instantly.
Voigemast's hands did not even
tremble as he took the cup. He
did not hesitate, but raised it to
his lips and gulped it down.
Voigemast was a day laborer,
aged 24. He was convicted of as
saulting, raping and murdering a
40-jear-old teacher, Hilja Zoege.

pledged instead of a flat amount,
thus preventing need of future mora-
toria based on crop failure or low
