The plan la the president' own, anno that fact la supposed to be a secret. He sug gested It origin ally In a confer ence of fiscal ad risers at the White House. Some of them did not think much of it.

No one 6 HCmtte PAUL MALLON E Ex-Deputy Tells of Plot to 'Rub Out Kingfish' Square Deal Head Brands Probe 'Publicity Stunt' can expect him to say so now, but the best banking circles have heard that he had two strong objections : (1) that the public might get skit tish at, times, and sell, as It did In tjfe cane of liberty bonds after the war; and (2) that savings bank de posits might be depleted. These are good, substantial financial objections. Nevertheless, the authorization was Included in the new (45.00O.OO0.0OO faeoi inw Because me president insist ed. The treasury has already started whooping .it up. It asserts that it expects to sell a billion In bargain counter lota from 25 up. Mr. Roose velt Is to buy the first one, probably at a ceremony where pictures can be taken. If it works, the nation will become as baby-bond conscious as it became quintuplet conscious after the DIonne phenomenon. But the eternally skep tical bankers are saying the results will hardly be phenomenal. You can not make people have quintuplets through the power of suggestion alone, aay they. The real explanation of the Infant bond prodigy seems to be that Mr. Roosevelt does not expect to sell enough to make any banking or bond market difference. He will not sell a billion or half a billion. There la nowhere near that much money in the barpaln counter market. Hence the bankers need not worry, v But every purchaser of a $25 bond iwM become a bondholder In the'New Deal. The psychological effects of that may be tremendous. A million holders of 25 govern ment bonds will become a million people thinking more or less In terms of government expenditures and gov ernment debt. What money the trea usry would get out of It may not be worth the trouble, but the White House may look forward to political and psychological sextuplets or even septuplets. That seems to be the sole purpose. The two Wild Bills of Labor (Green and Lewis) turned out to be a couple of smartiea who spoiled the NRA par ty the other dsy. The National Industrial Recovery board took precautions to make Its labor hearings a quiet affair. To make certain of It, the advisory labor board of NRA actually furnished speeches generally for labor leaders. ThL- gen eralized assertion will be denied, of course, but It can be proved that the board at least furnished figures on which several speeches were basei. Also, it tried to get copies of all labor speeches In advance, and it did itet the Important ones, except the two most Important. Messrs. BUI Green and Bill Lewis decided to let the board hear their speeches from the floor. They paid their respects to NRA in rather caus tic language. Lewis called the NRA failure, demanding the thirty-hour week Instead. Next day. the board tried to re establish subtle disciplinary quietude by confining speeches to fifteen min utes and to the subject of hours and ; wages. That failed to work also. The j next industrial witness was on the stand an hour. BATON ROUGE, I., Feb. 3. (AP) Huey Long's military grip on the Loualana capttol loosened tonight wben many of his national guardsmen were de mobilized following Indefinite continuance of hie "murder plot" hearing. f BATON ROUGE. La., Feb. 2. (AP) Still surrounded by rows of hand picked National Guardsmen and pri vate body guards, United States Sen ator Huey P. Long today postponed Indefinitely his "murder plot" In quiry after hearing a witness testify as high as 930,000 had been offered for Long's head. The same witness George (Red) Davis a former deputy sheriff, look ing straight Into Long's eyes, and speaking without a show of emo tion or fear, described what he said were several attempts to kill the senator. ! After the hearing Ernest Boureols. president of the an tt -Long Square Deal association, said the "whole court hearing and murder plot In vestigation is nothing more than the usual Huey Long publicity stunt.' Long, the political ruler of this agitated commonwealth, left the 33- story state house he had turned Into a virtual military stronghold, closely flanked by alert soldiers, with the statement that "I might stay here, go to New Orleans for a 'while, or if world court business needs my at tention in Washington I may go there soon." The third session of the probe into charges that a group of his arch ene mies had conspired to kill him was reaumed this morning under the same military air as on yesterday when Long personally examined wit nesses and first heard direct testi mony that a conspiracy to kill him had existed. Davli testified ha had conspired with another deputy aheriff on sev eral occasions last November to kill Long and described attempts ' made to "rub out" the "kingfish" with rifle shots through windows at the governor's mansion and at the state house. The witness said these attempts were futile because of the close watch state police kept on the area In which Long confined his activities. Davis, trill and square-Jawed, testi fied he used an automobile assigned to the office of the east Baton Rouge sheriff during the travel t co-incident with the attempts on Long's life, and that rifles they carried be longed to a hardware company owned by relatives of Sheriff Robert i. p tit of East Baton Rouge. Fred O'Rourke. the first witness to refuse to testify, was described by Long as the "chief agent" of the Stsndard Oil Company of Louisiana during a revolt last Saturday In which an "army' of cltl7ns met a detachment of National Guardsmen on the airport, One clt.lr.en was wounded slightly. Troops from varying sections of the state were loaded Into busses and started homeward as the Louisiana dictator called a respite In his at tempt to show that he was the In tended victim of an assassination conspiracy. Brig-Gen. Louis F.

Many States Plan Share From Gambling to Aid Welfare Needs Oregon Listed As Considering Similar Action. CHICAGO, Feb. 2. ( AP) Old age pensions and other public welfare funds will come tumbling out of slot machines la numerous bills, pending or planned, are approved by the state legislatures. At least 21 state's governing bodies arc working on legislation calculated to get a share or a bigger slice of the money tossed Into almost every form of gambling from horse racing to those marble game nickel-catchers. Most of the proposed legislation deals with parl-mutucls and slot machines. The Illinois general eseembly has under consideration a bill to tax slot machines, the money to go into coun- as to exactly how many were depart-ty pension funds. Oregon may con ing. The fastest thing that was put over in the NRA hearings waa at the ex pense of a union labor leader (not Green or Lewis.) This witness did not want to discuss the subject as signed to him by the labor advisor board, but the board persuaded him to do It. Much data had been prs pared for him by the board and he used it all with confident assurance that he had the New Deals own fig ures. Imagine his surprise when A. D. Whiteside, member of the NRA board, lit into these same facts and figures. The witness was unfamiliar with them, tripped and stumbled. It shows you cannot always safely submit the facts snd figures of one New Deal ajrncr to another. There la another reason why no one needs t worry about congress boost ing the old arc pensions out of slfiht The bilijnow provides, and will In the end stipulate, that federal contribu tions nyist be matched by the states In vlewvof the existing financial con dition f state governments.

SALEM, Feb. 2. (AP) Still faced with the most gigantic task to be ef fected unemployment relief the Oregon state legislature today reached the half-way mark of the scheduled session, with no outward Indication that any method of aproach to the problem had yet been worked out. Legislators generally were at a loss to know how to proceed chiefly be cause of the accepted fact that the power of the state assembly had been depreciated due to federal demands and restrictions and because the electorate of the state undoubtedly would vote down any wide-spread form of taxation In an attempt to raise funds for the care of approxi mately 76.000 people out of work. These two factors, in the words of John D. Goss, senator from Marsh- field, virtually tie the hands of the legislature, and yet the relief solu tion must be outlined within the re mainder of the session. A problem causing plenty of worry among lead- era. Meanwhile next week will see the two houses In full swing on the numerous other tasks which have al ready appeared and which will con tinue to flood the assembly the next few days. The coming week will see long hours of labor ahead, both in meetlnga and In committees. ! To date the legislature haa dis posed of but 40 of the 374 bills al ready introduced. Thirty of these went to defeat either by the indefi nite postponement route, by vote on the floor or by withdrawals. Sixty- six other measures have progressed half way through the assembly. In addition to all other matters to be considered. Governor Charles H. Martin's planning commission, auth orized under the only bill signed by the executive the past week, was working out more proposals, one for departmental consolidation and the other for public works proposals. The executive named the nine members of his original "brain trust," who have been working for some time on the tasks before them. It was believed some definite proposals would be worked out beforo the ses sion adjourns in order to establish enabling acts for culmination of these views. The planning commission bill, the first of the administrative proposals, was the only major bill so far to get through the assembly. Two others placing fees Into the general fund and county unit system for public education have passed the house. Others, including the budget con trol and the later primary election dates, are still In committees. Still others, sustained yield for forest con servation and matters In the offing are to be Introduced. First Degree Murder Charge Against Divorcee Who Ended Romance With Bul lets Surrenders.

(AP) First degree murder charges were filed today in the Justice court against Miss Marlon Meyerle accusing her of the slaying of Lawrence Lis ter. Klamath Falls businessman. District Attorney Hardin O. Black mer said Miss Meyerle was an ex pectant mother.
