Appeal for wartime abandon
ment of "all further social and
economic experiments and new
ventures" came today from a
leader of the southern democra
tic bloc in congress.
Expressing hope that efforts
"for a sane national fiscal policy
may be about to bear irult,
Rep. Woodrum (D-Va.) declared
that the nation's first objective
must be financing and winning
the war.
The American people," he
said in an interview "are will
ing to be taxed for whatever it
takes to train, equip and main
tain our fighting forces. But
they have a right to. demand
that all non-war activities be
curtailed and expenditures for
the same cut to the bone."
T believe the incoming con
gress will take note of this
public demand," he added.

21 -Year-Old Girl on Stand
For Slaying of Husband
By JACK LEFLER
B1SBEE, Ariz,, Dec. 19 (IP)
Cross-examination brought from
21-yciir-old Margaret llcrllhy to
day tho admission that sho ex
pects a baby soon, although sho
said sho could not remember
having marital relations witli
Copt. David D. Carr, whom she
married In secret and killed two
months litter.
"I am very hazy about that
night in Agun Priuta when we
got married," Miss Herlihy ex
plained between sobs and fits of
weeping.
Recalling that she testified
yesterday that she and Citrr had
not lived as man and wito after
their Mexican marriage, John F.
Ross, county attorney, asked
Miss Herlihy:
"Did you have any marital re
lations with him?"
"Not to my knowledge," the
girl replied. "I am very hazy
about that night In Agun Prlcta."
"Did you consult a doctor?"
"Yes."
"Did ho examine you as to be
ing pregnant?"
"Yes."
"Did he tell you of your condi
tion?" "Ho was trying to make cer
tain, but it was too early."
Defense counsel objected to
tho questioning and accused
Ross of attempting to degrade
the defendant In tho eyes of the
Jury, but Ross countered that
the girl's condition "might have
had an Important beuring on her
motive," and was permitted to
continue,
"Was it definite, enough that
It made an Impression on you?"
Ross resumed.
"The fact that It had been dis
cussed did leave an Impression."
"Then yon knew there had
been occurrence-! after your
marriage that would causo this
condition?"
Margaret, who told tho Jury
yesterday that sho killed the
thrice-married Carr In Iter moth
er's bedroom tho night of Aug
ust 14 In defense of her life,
broke down and asked tho court
for a few minutes to recover.
When sho resumed, Miss Her
lihy said Carr. at her insistence,
told her "what happoned the
night wo were married."
