TO SEEK RELEASE Accused Physical Education Student May Be Freed On Bail In Philadelphia Inquiry In Glenn Tot's Death Philadelphia, Nov. 26 for Mary K. O'Connor began today a move to obtain the release of the 19-year-old physical education student on bail. She is being held in the death of Nancy Glenn, 5, last labor day. Attorney William A.

Gray declared "my client has nothing to worry about" in a statement cising Mayor S. Davis Wilson for his failure to "refer the case to the district attorney, to whom it should really go," and for "usurping the authority of every magistrate in Philadelphia." Meanwhile Mayor Wilson said he would not yet place any new charges against Miss O'Connor and he; friend, Mrs. Marie Kibler Phillips, 1936 Olympic gymnast. Wilson said if new charges were filed later they would have no direct connection with the Glenn child's death, but would be based on an affidavit from a waiter at a children's camp where Miss O'Connor and Mrs. Phillips worked last June as counsellors.

Mrs. Phillips was held under $500 bail as a material witness after she aid the O'Connor girl confided to her that she was responsible for the child's death. "There will be no new warrants issued today," the mayor said. The lawyer declared he would seek Miss O'Connor's release Monday on bail "no matter what the mayor asks, says or does." Mrs. Phillips reiterated her be lief in the innocence of the blonde student who, Detective Captain John Murphy said, related in a statement that she struck Nancy on the chin with her fist and pushed her body into a mud hole.

Supported by her husband, Chester, also an Olympic athlete, Mrs Phillips declared she would "fight to a finish" any new charges the mayor might file.

WOULD CHEAPEN DOLLAR Washington, Nov. 26. senate argiculture committee proposed today that the dollar be cheapened in an effort to raise prices, national income and federal tax revenues.

In its reports to the senate on new farm legislation, the committee said President Roosevelt's action in cutting the gold content of the dollar 40 per cent In 1934 was "a deliberate governmental policy to raise the prices of farm commodities." Although reporting that policy has worked, the committee added "We have not cheapened the dollar cufficiently to raise the price level high enough to show sufficient profit, upon which taxes are paid, to balance the budget. "A high price level produces high commodity prices, high wages, high farm income, high national income and consequently high tax Income to the treasury." The committee said the dollar should be revalued to lift prices at least to the 1926 level. To do this, it suggested that power to fix the value of currency be coordinated and concentrated in one federal agency. The portion of the report dealing with money was drafted by Sena tor Thomas D. Okla).

Thomas told reporters he would canvass sentiment for the purposal and, if he found sufficient support, would introduce legislation to carry it out. LOCAL 'NORTHERN LIGHTS' (Continued from Page One) the materialistic aspects of the ethereal spectacle, returned in a dither of excitmenet. "Well, we got a picture of it." an nounced Photographer Rand Taylor. The less aesthetic members of the staff are in eternal awe of the artistic ability of these fellows who capture the daily panorama of hu man events on a camera lense. but to say they had man making northern lights" was a little to much for even an aginative reporter.

Surely Old Timer couldn't be that far wrong. Only a moment before he had asked to be publicly Quoted as predicting it was the aurora borealis painting its weird radiations in the southern skies. But such was the miracle of mir. ciclcs They found Red Henderick a robust modern Thor bent over his flaming forge, oblivious to the commotion his work was causing. "Well.

I'll be doggoned," and he seemed genuinely concerned. "Why if it's distressing folks like that, we'll just knock off work till daylight." It seems the brilliant arc being used on a train car wheel was throwing its refelction into a great cloud bank with such realisim. that nobody blames Old Timer much for reaching such positive conclusions As one lady who called, after the phenomenon had been explained, remarked somewhat haughtily, "it must be an awfully big wheel." Anyway, they assured Mr. Hend ricks he should keep right on with his work, that the unwarranted ex cltment would make a piece for the paper. And here it is.

JAPS ATSHANGHAT (Continued from page one) appear in North China in March, 1938). Japanese reported the capture of Changhing, in northern Chekiang province on the southwestern shore of Lake Tai. Other Japanese col umns continued to advance north of the lake. Nanking dispatches said despite the Japanese approach the old capital remained calm. Lin Sen, chairman of the national government and therefore Titular head of the nation, arrived at Chungking to establish his new capital.

The actual administrative and military leader of China, General Chiang Kai-Shek, remained at Nanking. When an associate went to his room at Sea Island. to discuss a hunting trip with Howard E.

Mr. Wolfe was a booking agent for radio station WSM at Nashville, Tenn. He has many friends and relatives in and around Norton. FDR GIVES PLANS (Continued from Page One) the congressional agitation for tax revision, it was evident that the wage-hour group was big enough to make its presence felt. One gested "out" was an agreement under which it would be assured of a house vote on the wage-hour bill.

In the senate, two items, both highly controversal, had to receive action before tax legislation could be taken up, under an order of business agreed upon last summer They weer crop control legislation, now pending, and the antl-lynch ing bill passed last session by the house. To facilitate adjournment last summer it was agreed that the farm bill be made the unfinished business of the senate upon reconvening, with the anti-lynching legislation coming up automatically as soon as the former could be dispos ed of. The special session has three more weeks to run. Leaders ex pected that at least half that time would be devoted to the farm bill. The disposition of southern senators to filibuster anti-lynching legislation made it highly doubtful that that bill could be passed in the remaining days of the session.

The only solution would be to lay aside the anti-lynching bill, providing a tax measure were ready for consideration. Leading proponents of the anti-lynching measure expressed their oppoistion to such a course only today. BUS STRIKE Former 'Strong Man' Of Cuba Is Arrested New York, Nov. 26. Gerardo Machado, 68, once popular "Strong Man" President of Cuba, now weak and old and ill, was arrested today by a U.

S. deputy marshal. He is wanted in the country he once ruled on charges of murder, embezzlement and other crimes. A 24-hour guard was placed over the former president, although his lawyer nurse said his condition was critical and it was "distinctly possible" that he might die soon. A fugitive, he will answer Cuba's demand for his extradition next Monday if he is able to be removed to the federal building.

General Machado's four years of freedom in the Bahamas, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and European cities ended a few days after his lawyer, Francis A. O'Neill, offered to surrender him to federal authorities. Machado entered the Murray Hill hospital two weeks ago, coming here from exile in Canada. O'Neill said he was confident Machado would not be extradited. The lawyer asserted he intended to oppose the Cuban government effort "every step of the way." The charges against Machado arose from revolutionary riots of August, 1933, which drove him from office.

He fled while mobs roamed the streets of Havana crying for the life of the "bloody despot." More than 21 were killed and 200 wounded before Machado's compact, well-disciplined army turned against him and his cabinet resigned.

They indicated they would represented along with other Tazewell county protestants, at tho nubile hearings on the road allocations for the Bristol district, to be held December 9 in the city market auditorium in Roanoke. The Bluefield Chamber of Commerce, embracing as it does members in Bluefield, is assisting the Tazewell countians in their at- temwt to obtain work on these much needed stretches of road. While it had been understood that early provision would be made for the project, the tentative allocations announced in Richmond last, weak included only one Tazewell county for work on Route 19 west from Tazewell.

Earlier in the fall it had been reported that Virginia authorities intended to move the convict camp now located near the Divides to a point where it would be convenient for the prisoners to work on the improvements on Route 84.
