Cal warren's Silver Star Club. New Violence in Rumania Today Explosion in Royal Pavilion at Sinaia Railway Station Throws Crowd into Panic. PREMIER DUCA MOURNED Body of Assassinated Leader Is Taken to Capital By Fanatical Student. Sinaia, Rumania, Dec. 30 An explosion in the royal pavilion and an attempt to slay the assassin of Premier Ion G.

Duca marked this city's farewell today to the body of the government leader who was killed Friday. Mourners, thronging the railroad station in tribute to their assassinated premier, were thrown into a panic today by an explosion in the royal pavilion in the station. One child was slightly injured and the property damage was slight despite the panic. The frightened bystanders were calmed by royal guards who rushed to the scene. King Carol was not in the station at the time.

Shortly afterward the late premier's brother-in-law, Radux Polizu, entered 'the station guard room, snatched out a pistol and fired several shots at Nicholas Constantin- escu, the student assassin, but missed. He was overpowered and led away. In view of the small damage done by- the explosion police were inclined to believe it was a grenade similar to a smoke bomb either planted in the pavilion to create confusion or dropped -there last night by Constantineecu' or his alleged confederates in an attempt to escape. All three carried automatic pistols and several smoke bombs when captured after the student had fired four shots into puca's body as he prepared to leave the railroad station yesterday. The assassin was a member of the antl-Semetic Iron Guard party.

It was possible that the child who was injured may have kicked against the abandoned smoke bomb, causing it to explode. Further questioning Constan- tinescu revealed it wias arranged that he should fire first and if unsuccessful his two accomplices should in turn shoot at Duca until the premier was slain. King Carol early today requested Constantine Angelescu. Rinna tablhet" leader, to' "b'ver' premiership 7 and gave him the oath Of office 'jefore dawn. The first cabinet meeting under the new premier took place this morning at Bucharest It drew up a proclamation exhorting the public to observe discipline and assuring that the national government was determined to uphold law and or- dei in the most vigorous manner.

It had not been decided whether martial law would be declared. The entire cabinet was prepared to meet the Duca train, scheduled to arrive at Bucharest at 4 p. m. and accompany the coffin to the slain leader's home. His body will lie in state at the Athenaeum with a state funeral scheduled for Wedn- iday.

King To Take Part. King Carol plans to participate in the funeral. Constantincscu was a candidate for election to parliament when the Iron Guard was declared outlawed by the government and most of its candidates Jailed. His reputed accomplices are students in law at the university and the Academy of Commerce. Today, as Rumania mourned, it was recalled that Duca was once the bitter political enemy of King Carol and after the latter's dramatic return from Paris in 1930 denounced him in parliament.

Later, after the coronation, it also was Duca who did much to smooth out the bitterness between the king and the liberal party and when scarcely six weeks ago Carol's objections to the return of the llber- (Contlnutd 5 MILLION ON PAYROLL. Ickes Says Public Works Total Will Continue to Mount. Washington, Dec. 30 Ickes, in a statement published today, estimated 5,000,000 persons had received pay envelopes from rolls financed by the public works administration during the first six months of its operation and that this total "will continue to mount." The public works administrator listed 4,000,000 as employed by the Civil Works administration, and original Civilian Conservation Corps roster of 300,000, and a public works payroll that totalled 750,540 men on December 9. "This figure Is now approaching the million-man mark," he said, "and will continue to mount as a result of action already taken." The administrator explained that only 5145,000.000 remained unal- lotted out of the PWA's original $3,300,000,000 fund, but that "another army of men now unemployed" would be given work before the total was finally expended.

Topeka, Dec. 30 Utidaunted by previous failures of snow predictions to stand up earlier this week, B. R. Laskowski, federal meteorologist, insisted today that there was a strong possibility of a white New Year's day in Kansas. Although he expected the warm, pleasant wecther to continue today and tomorrow, there was a probability that late revelers tomorrow night might be forced to battle a cold north wind on their way home.

a wind that would' bring a return of real winter conditions to the state. With temperatures close to 50 indicated today and Sunday, Laskowski said a high pressure area near Edrnonston where temperatures this morning dipped to 20 degrees below sero probably would force the frigid winds into 'Kansas not later than Sunday night.

Mrs. Mary Morozio, Pittsburi, Is Given Another Chance. Pittsburg, Dec. 30 A new trial was granted today to Mrs. Mary Morozzo, 48-year-old widow convicted two weeks ago of first degree murder in the depth of her husband, Lawrence Morozzo, grocer, last August 2.

Declaring he meant no implication against the jury which voted her conviction, Judge Joe Oaitskill in district court here explained his ruling with the statement that there was a strong e-ement of doubt in his own mind as to her guilt. He declared the motive shown by the she sought freedom from marriage bonds to pursue a love not convincing to him. "The question also arises," the court said, "of whether she would have committed the murder in the manner allegec by the state and Indicated by the evidence, had she planned the death of her husband in advance." Morozzo was found dead at the breakfast table, his food partly eaten, a through his head and a revolver near the body. Accord- to th? def. nse, the body was discovered by Mrs.

Morozzo. Two children of -the Morouot, asleep in the house at the time, were among the chief witnewa. The testimony of one, a state witness, aimed by the prosecution to pin the upon Mrs. Mororzo. When the Jury which brought ia.

and Mrs. W. W. Finney, 310 Vest Twelfth. In addition to Mr.

and Mrs. Finney, many other persons and corporations with suits pending against the Finneys are nuned as defendants. The insurance compeny also asks for a court order demanding the restoration of certain fixtures which it alleges have been noved from the house. In its petition the John Hancock company alleges that Asahel C. West, brother of Mrs.

Selleck Warren, who held the title, mortgaged the home and fixtures to the company for $10,000 on October 7, 1931. The property is described as "lot 5 in the Town of Normal, an addition to the City of Emporia."

ANOTHER LONG HOLIDAY Emporia Wili Celebrate the Arrival of -he New Year. Emporia has another double holiday this week-end and the town will celebrate thj arrival of 1934 with appropriate ceremonies and festivities. The fact that New Year's eve is on Sunday probably will make the occasion quieter than usual although several events have been planned to start immediately after midnight. The Granada and Lyric theaters have schedulpd New Year's eve midnight shows, starting a few minutes after the clock strikes 12, marking the passing of 1933. Watch parties will await the ar-'val of the Infant year at several churches Sunday evening and many Empor- ians will celebrate the passing of the old at private gatherings.

A FINNEY DELAY Sentencing of Ronald Finney Is Deferred Until 2 O'clock Next Tuesday Afternoon. DIFFER ON SENTENCE Judge Heinz Reveals HU Opinion on Length of Tern Clashes With That of Some of the TO REJECT AGREEMENT? Reported Pact for 15-year Sentence May Be Cancelled by Supreme Court Ruling Requiring Judges to Make Sentences Run Consecutively. Topeka, Dec.

SO of Ronald Finney, bond broker who a week ago pleaded guilty to 31 counts of bond forgery and sale, was deferred until 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Judge Paul H. Heinz today. Judge said the delay was because "some unforseen matters had 1 Judge Heinz made his announcement in open court shortly after 12 o'clock following a lengthy conference during the morning with state and defense attorneys. Finney was present at the conference. Judge Heinz refused to amplify his remarks other than to say that, the delay was occasioned by a difference o' opinion over length of the sentence and that "I have one view of the matter and some of the attorneys have another." At the time Finney pleaded guilty there were reliable but unconfirmed reports that a 15-year minimum sentence had been agreed upon by the state and defense and that Lester Gocdell, county attorney, would recommend such a sentence.

Today it was revealed that in a recent opinion the state supreme court had ruled a trial Judge was compelled to make sentences on offenses of which a defendant was found guilty run consecutively and not concurrently. In, such a case, the minimum sen- tence'lor have to be in the penitentiary and six rnonihs in the county jail as he pleaded guilty to 30 counts of forgery, each punishable by a penitentiary term of not more than 21 years, and one count of sale constituting fourth degree forgery, punishable by six months in the county jail to five years in the state penitentiary. In cases where no minimum is fixed by law, the minimum penitentiary sentence is one year, attorneys have said, so that on 30 counts the sentence would be 30 to 630 years. Presumably it was this question that occasioned the delay. Finney's sentencing had been set tor 10 o'clock but a memorial meeting of the Shawnee county bar association for the late Judge George H.

Witcomb, Shawnee county district court judge, and the late Frank Doster, former supreme court Jus- lice, delayed the matter until after 11 o'clock. The young bond broker, accompanied by deputy sheriffs arrived at the courtroom as the memorial sen-ice was ended. He looked in at crowd and said: "I ought to take this matter more seriously, 1 guess, but It looks to me like they should serve tea and doughnuts with a big crowd like that." Mrs. Finney in Courtroom. His wife, who was with htm throughout the two weeks of his trial which ended when he entered guilty plea through his attorney, John Schenck, was at the court room during me morning.

She said she would bring her 7-year-old daughter and her 4-year-old son to Topeka to see their father before he was taken to Lansing. She made this remark before the conference and subsequent delay was announced. Finney's plea of guilty was entered ast Saturday at the conclusion of the state's evidence at his trial on charges of forging a $30.000 issue of Hutchinson bonds. He also is a co-dsfendant with Tom B. Boyd, former state treasurer, in a case alleging the two ille- jally removed bonds from the state treasurer's vaults which has been set for trial next month.

The case is one of several to be tried after January 15. Leland Caldwell, Finneys former employe, is a defendant in two cases set for trial In January. WITHIN ANTARCTIC CIRCLE. Byri FU(fhip Free from Gales and Fot Now. Aboard Admiral Byrd's Flagship Off Antarctica.

TO BOOST PRODUCTION Proposed Goal Is Equal to Nine Times the Russian Production Before the War. Moscow, Dec. 30 new 5- year plan, Intended to make Russia self-reliant for all the necessities of life, was made public to the people of the Soviet today. By the end of 1937, according to the plan, the Soviet Union is to nearly triple her production over the figure reached in 1932 when the first 5-year plan was brought to a close. Tho proposed production total of about $51,000,000,000 at nominal values annually, would be equal to nine times ihc Russian production before the war.

The plan, published by the Soviet press. Is that submitted by Vyaches- laff Mblotoff, president of the council of commissars, and V. V. Kuiby- shev, president of the supreme council of national economy. The plan was tendered by the two officials to the political bureau, which accepted it and will now offer it to the seventeenth Communist party congress January 19.

The extent of the enterprises which would be realized under this program makes the second 5-year plan dwarf the first which, at the time of its proposal, was considered gigantic beyond the possibility of achievement in an industrially backward country. The final drafting of the plan, the announcement of which has delayed more than a year, is intended Soviet Russia, at chd -6T 1M7, industrialized on the scale of her most powerful capitalistic neighbors and capable of supplying all the Indispensable requirements of the country. The new plan fixed the volume of production in 1937 at 103,000 million rubles (nominally a ruble Is worth about 50 cents), as compared with 43,000 million rubles at the end of 1932, with the completion of the first 5-year plan. The proposed figure, based on the prices of 1926-27, would be equal to nine limes the production before the. war.

Emphasis is placed on increased production of consumers' goods, following up the tendency of last year to pay more attention to the immediate needs of the population. Under the new proposal the following percentage of increase would be shown in 1837 over 1932: Consumers' manufactured 308. Food industry, 306. Motor cars. 837.

Tractors, 323. Machine building, 227. Coal, 235 to 152 million tons. Oil, 213, to 47 million tons. Pig iron, 292 to 18 million tons.

Steel, 35 to 19 million tons. Copper, 332 to 155 million tons. Timber, 174 million to 56,410,000 cubic yards. ENDURANCE FLIERS LAND iVomen, Exhausted, Com Down After 238 Hours In Air. Miami, Dec.

Baiik Charges To Be Withheld NRA Orders by Johnson Prohibited Banks from Increasing Charges to 'Depositors. Under Code. A DEPUTY IS DISCHARGED Chief of NRA Says He Had.Not Approved Not Even Seen Them." Washington. Dec. 30 Banks in every comer of the nation under sudden NBA orders today to withhold projected schedules designed to sharply increase charges to customers.

While the capital speculated upon the final outcomu ot the swift move by Hugh S. Johnson iu cancelling the increased levies, the NRA administrator himself added only silence to his order thai the charges bo suspended "Indefinitely and immediately," or at least until he had approved them. The first action came last night as the result of what was officially described as a most unusual "misunderstanding." Johnson lost little time after learning that a proposed uniform higher schedule under the NRA bankers' codo had been circulated by the code authority among all clearing house associations with the notation that Johnson had ap- provcd them. The NRA chief declared immediately to newspapermen that he had not approved the schedules; in fact, had not, even seen them. Simultaneously he summarily dis- teissed Cary N.

deputy administrator In cliarpp of the banking code. wh.r. was said to have been instrumental in a public announcement that Johnson had approved the banking cede authority plans. Although thn proposed higher schedule circulated among the clearing house osrcdatlons was not made public, it was understood to approximate a "metcred" system by which customers would pay more for virtually all services. Many Lcrirs I'lunned.

In addition to uniform service charges on all small checking accounts. It wa-s said to Include levies of so much per check above a certain number of checks, charges for each deposit slip and cacii item on the slip and a minimum charge of 10 gents for cashing checks, pre- 'Mated by nan-depositors. "Johnson said in a. brief public statement accompanying his order last night that he intended 1 to give "a careful scrutiny in the public interest" to every schedule ot charges submitted by local or rc- fional clearing house associations. The associations were given an extension until February 1 to submit them.

No Official Notice Here. Francis Arnold, chairman of the Emporia House association, this morning suiri that the banks here had received no official notice of the suspension of bunk sen-- Ice charges, and that pending; official word, no act lor. rescinding the charges would be taken. This was the decision of the clearing house members. Mr.
