Sheriff Aids Judd Appeal For Clemency Testimony Corroborates In Part Self-Defense Story Of Deaths WINNIE RUTH JUDD appeared to gain ground yesterday in her fight to escape paying with her life next April 14 for the murder of Agfres Anne LeRoi. After hearing statements of 12 witnesses in support or conflicting with the condemned woman self- defense story, the Arizona Board of Pardons and Paroles, to whom Mrs Juddias appealed for a commuta tion of the death sentence, listened intently as Sheriff J. R. McFadden related briefly Mrs.

Judd's state ments to him, then declared he believed them true. Hearing Continues The clemency hearing, which be gan a week ago today in Florence and already has required two and one-half days, will be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning in the state capitol, with the public barred and the following important developments anticiDated: The board again will rule on the admissibility as evidence of affi davits of four members of the Jury which convicted Mrs. Judd, that there was "a deal" whereby capital punishment was agreed upon "to make her talk."

Mar.

20. (UP) A slender, black-haired Texan angrily slammed the door of a house committee room today and automatically clouded the Roosevelt administration's sunny period good will and co-operation. Chairman Jones of the house agriculture committee thus became the first serious rebel in the Democratic ranks against an iron rule that the White House has held over congress since March 4. Tonight they are saying on Capitol hill that the storm clouds have gathered and from now on if Mr. Roosevelt wants anything from congress he will have to fight for it- Protests Farm Bill Jones revolt was againet the ad ministration's farm bill.

As he stormed out of the committee room where the agriculture committee was considering the bill, he tossed out to newspaper men a 14-line statement. It was a private declaration of independence. Opponents of the Roosevelt farm bill read it with glee. They realized the administration had lost the support of a powerful floor fighter he steered the domestic allotment plan through the shoals and rocks of opposition last session and of a man who knows as much about farming as any person in Washington. Reported Favorable The committee proceeded to re port the bill favorably in substan tially the same form as Secretary of Agriculture Wallace submitted it.

Then members looked hopefullv at Jones to see what he would do next He told them. He intended to have nothing to do with the bill and would not even formally introduce it into the house. Thus it fell to Representative Fulmer of South Carolina, second ranking Democrat on the commit tee, to take charge of the legisla tion. Jones is willing to vote for the bill, he said, because he feels the present emergency demands it. But he doesn intend to lift a finger otherwise.

Ready For Fight What will happen now is prob lematical. Persons who have watched Mr. Roosevelt's banking, econo my and beer bills go sliding through congress had predicted that sooner or later he would run into trouble. But his backers In the house are not ready to surrend er to the first revolt without a fight. Instead they brought in a rule which they hope to hammer the farm bill past all opposition.

It is an ironclad proposal limiting de bate to four hours, making it im possible for any member to bring a point of order against the bill. prohibiting any amendments and permitting only one motion to re commit the bill to committee.

Earthquake I Zangara Executed For Crime Assassin Rages Against Capitalists In Death Chamber VANITYPERSISTS Brain Of Cermak's Slayer Declared Normal By Physicians DA I FORD, Mar.

20. (AP) The finale of an assassin's furious drama of bullets that missed President Roosevelt but killed Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago was enacted in the Florida state prison today as Giuseppe Zangara died in the electric chair with a last shout defiance. The shadow of death lowering over the Italian in the small execution chamber utterly failed to tem per the raging bitterness against all rulers of men that led him to loose withering fire at the President in Miami the night of February 15. Parting Cry "Lousy capitalists! Capitalists! All capitalists! Crooks!" That was the cry of the swarthy immigrant a few moments before 2.300 volts of electricity snuffed out his life.

Any question as to Zangara's sanity was settled by four physicians who performed an autopsy and reported they found his brain "perfectly normal." On the brink of death, the assas sin maintained, as he had done all along, that he was not a member of any gang, but fired at the President on his own initiative. Vanity Persists Vanity, as well as his bitterness, went with him to the last. His keenest, disappointment was- that cameramen were not allowed to take pictures of the execution, said Nathan Mayo, head of the state prison bureau. At 9:11 a. m.

(EST), Zangara en tered the death chamber dressed in striped pants and white shirt. His feet were bare. "Don't touch me!" he told guards as they advanced across the noor. I no afraid of chair." Walking over to I F. Chapman, superintendent of the prison, Zangara handed him a sheaf of papers.

"Here is that book I have been writing," he said. Then turning to the chair, ne seated himself calmly.

The vetoes are the first exercised bv the chief executive. Chief among bills vetoed was House Bill 58, creating a board of naturopathic examiners. The governor stated he was "of the opinion that it Is an unwise bill, particularly when taken into con sideration in connection with the public health and welfare of the state." House Bill 275, providing for additional bonds for state offi cials other than the state treas urer, and the employes of officers when charged by law with the election or reception of public funds, also was vetoed. The governor stated he did not believe the state would be justified in spend ing additional thousands of dollars at this time in bond premiums necessary under the bill House Bill 65. relating to the payment and collections of taxes and amending sections 3113 and 33 il or the revised code, was vetoed.

"I am of the opinion that this bill will do more harm than good, and that it will have a very adverse bearing on the future financing and sale of bonds in connection with the development of irrigation districts," the message said. Because it conflicted with House Bill 253, which reduced the state school levy from $25 to $20 per capita, the governor vetoed Senate Bill 82. It made the same reduction. French Consider.

Mar. 20 (AP) Federal help for state banks was voted overwhelmingly by the house today with indications that the senate, also, would act shortly to pass the bill extending provisions of th emergency banking law to around 9.000 state banks and trust com panies. House approval was not given, however, until one member Beedy. (Republican, Maine) questioned the origin of the measure and Indicated he believed Sen. Huey Long, (Democrat, Louisiana) was responsible for it.

Chairman Steagall of the banking; committee spoke promptly in denial. He insisted that "the authorship of this bill is traceable directly to the president and is due to his concern for the necessity of doing; something for state banks." The house approved the measure without even a standing vote. When the emergency banking; act was before congress. Long; contended Its provisions should be extended to include state banks. He was voted down, but after he conferred with President Roosevelt the new measure was introduced.

Final senate approval was given by the narrow margin of 43 to 36 after Senators Borah, Republican Idaho, and Sheppard, Democrat Texas, had taken a final fling at the bill constitutionality. Borah read recent statements by brewers that the bill would permit beer as good and as strong as the foamy brew of pre-prohibition days, Under Borah Fire The Idaho senator aimed his fire particularly at the action of con ferees in eliminating his amend ment to prevent sale or gift of the beverages to children under 16 years of age. He contended the amendment was eliminated -to prevent an admission that 3.2 per cent beer was intoxi eating, but asserted another pro vision of the measure forbidding importation of the beverages into dry states contained in the same admission.

3) USogram Is Discussed WASHINGTON. Mar. 20. (AP) President Roosevelt arranged with his congressional leaders tonight legislative program for the present session including additional farm relief, unemployment aid and rail road and banking reorganization. The following statement was issued after he had conferred at length at the White House with 15 Democratic and Republican leaders of the senate and house: A most interesting discussion was held between the President and a number of senators and members af the house of representatives.

The discussion covered many phases ol the economic program. "'The subjects discussed included, among others, farm relief through efforts to raise crop prices and leg islation to prevent the foreclosure of mortgages on both homes and farms; a program to improve and co-ordinate railroad operations; another program relating to the general problems of transportation; and the immediate unemployment relief efforts divided into three parts immediate work in national and state forests, government aid to states, and a future program of public works. "In the field of banking, correction of existing abuses was discussed." Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, a Roosevelt supporter and long a champion of government operation of Muscle Shoals, said on leaving the executive mansion that the power and Muscle Shoals issue had not been brought up directly in the conference.
