His comment coincided with remarks of two cabinet members expressing sharp concern over the courts tax decision in the Louisiana rice millers case wnicn upset tne taxation of pay iirst and litigate later." Almost simultaneously, a white House "go-ahead" signal was given congressional advisors for introduction of new farm-aid legislation to replace the invalidated AAA for a two-year period. Bills amending the soil conservation act, and possibly appropriating $500,000,000, it was announced, will be submitted to both senate and house immediately to enable continuance of production control and paj-ment of federal subsidies to farmers.

Mr. Roosevelt's comment on the supreme court's refusal yesterday to reconsider its ruling returning 200,000,000 in impounded processing- taxes was made at a press conference. Earlier Secretary' Wallace had bluntly challenged the "justice" of the decision in a radio address, and had asserted emphatically that AAA is not killed, merely handicapped. Attorney General Cummings considered it was "very likely" that the supreme court's action would result in a floor of new injunction suits impounding taxes levied under other New Deal laws. In sharp contrast with his hour-long "horse and buggy" discourse on the supreme court following NRA's invalidation, Mr.

Roosevelt spoke briefly today. Reporters asked for comment on the processing tax ruling. The executive said he wondered about its effect on the Bailey vs. George decisions of the high tribunal. The McCardle case also was mentioned.

A quick search of files showed that the decision in "ex parte McCardle" case was an event of the reconstruction period following the Civil war.

Douglas, Yale, as new member of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is expected to put backbone into an organization which recently has been coasting on its previous momentum. Chairman Jim Landis, the savage liberal whose shadow once sent jitters down the spine of Wall Street, now is suspected of eating caviar a little too frequently with the boys whom once he frightened. Other members of the Commission have been leaning in the same direction. Douglas has been leaning directly opposite. Although he was once associated with one of Wall Street's most prosperous law firms, Douglas has been SEC's most crusading investigator.

His investigations of the bondholders protective committees for the Frisco and Missouri Pacific Railways were sensational. Douglas worked his way through the University of Washington in Seattle, by living In a tent and washing his own clothes in an adjacent stream. After graduation, he arrived In New York via the freight car route with thirty-six cents in his pocket. and applied for a loan to enter the Columbia Law School. His record at Washington was so good that he got a small loan, and sold papers in Manhattan in order to meet the rest of his expenses.

Graduating near the top of hi? class. Douglas was immediately snapped up by the law firm of Paul Cravath. Later he became the highest paid law professor in the country, drawing down $18,000 a year from Yale. Static After all the effort exerted by Henry P.

Without reaching a decision, they studied in the interim the question I of appropriating funds for the huge outlay. An apparently growing dis- position to attacn an appropriation to a pending deilCiency DUl was tempered by doubts that an accur- ate estimate of the an ount needed could be obtained in time.

Prononents of a proposal to pay the bonus with new money indicat- ed they would make the inflation fight when the appropriation ef- fort was started. The bill itself spent the day in a pigeon hole awaiting routine injure iii.uuu lkj ojjijhjc uiougw made by the senate yesterday in passing the. bill by a stampede vote oi a to 10. xne nouse a bcneuui- ed to take final action, sending tne measure to tne rate nouse, tomorrow. as appruveu uy wie uic uux now calls lor redemption in bonds which the veterans can trans- form into almost immediate cash by the simple process of presenting them at the windows of their local postoffice What President Roosevelt will do remained unsnown.

a year asu when it was proposed that the bonus be paid in newly printed money. he rejected the idea with a person ally delivered veto message, oppos lng not only the payment plan but also the idea of redeeming the bonus certificates in advance of their due date. Many doubted the chief executive would permit the bill to become law without acting one way or the other. Some recalled that early in his ad ministration he opposed such pro cedure, on principle, with a rela tion to a bill then pending. Thfi mnstituticn savs that if con gress remains in session ior len aajs after passing a president takes no action the mea sure becomes law anyway.

such a course were men usually the administration. They expressed the opinion that the course suggested would do tne Rcosevelt prestige no harm in the last analysis, while the publicity at lendent upon the over-riding of a veto might impair the popular standing of the president, Another angle which they did not mention was that such a course would relieve many uuoaix staunch administration supporters, who emphatically lavor tne Donui, of the embarrassment of voting against the president on so clear cut an issue as that of overriding his veto.

Foster Symes of federal district court commented today he "did not blame" Dan W. Berry, 21, for escaping from the Mississippi state prison. "From what I have heard, I don't blame you a hit," Judge Symes said. He sentenced Berry, recently arrested with his bride after fleeing from Seattle, in a stolen car, to 15 months in Leavenworth, federal prison. The charge was violation of the Dyer act-Berry said he was mistreated while serving a term in Mississippi state prison on an auto theft charge and that he jumped from a prison wall intending to commit suicide.

Instead the jump did not kill him and he fled, outdistancing guards, who fired at him. State residents were inclined to discount the above dispatch as complaints of prisoners over treatment at Parchman are extremely rare. In fact, more than one convict excused from the prison farm has returned and asked to be taken back into the pen. PENN MUTUAL AD KILLED William A. Law Victim of Hunting Accident In North Carolina GREENSBORO, N.

Jan. 21 (JF, William A. Law, of Philadelphia, president of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance company, died in a hospital here early -tonight of a wound he suffered when a shotgun in the hands of S. Clay Williams, R. J.

Reynolds Tobacco company executive accidentally discharged. Law, Williams and A. L. Brooks, Greensboro attorney, were bird hunting near Siler City when the accident occurred about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The insurance company head was struck in the leg just below the knee.

Law lost considerable blood before medical attentiou could be obtained and physicians attributed death mainly to this cause. He was about 70 years old. Brooks said Williams foot became entangled in a clump of honeysuckle, causing him to trip and accidentally discharge one shell in his gun. The load struck Law at a distance of 20 feet. After being given emergency attention at Siler City, Law was placed in an ambulance and brought to Wesley-Long hospital here.

He died within a few minutes after arriving. The Penn Mutual president, a native of Spartanburg, S. had been at the Brushy Creek Hunt ing club, on the land on which the accident occurred, since last Wed nesday. He was joined Friday by Williams and Brooks. All of them were members of the club.

Italian people heard with profound emotion the announcement of the death of King George and sym pathize deeply with the mourning British nation. Flags on government buildings were lowered to half-staff. Canada went into national mourning. All government offices and most public markets were closed. Spots and entertainments were cancelled as the whole country expressed Its deep sorrow over the death of a sovereign especially close to Canadians.

Mohammedans called special prayers for the king's soul in 3,000 mosques. In Australia, tolling bells and the firing of 70 minute guns officially announced the death. Spots events were postponed. In India, leaders of all political complexions united in tribute to George. The Mahatmi Gandhi sent a message of sympathy.

(JP) Inves tigating authorities today consid ered a theory that one of its pas sengers, bent on self-destruction may have caused the crash of a luxury liner in which 17 persons died a week ago. C.

R. Smith, president of th American Airlines, whose "South erner," was wrecked near Good win. admitted at Chicago that this theory was "one of many' being investigated. This development came while in spectors sought to determine the importance of the discovery of an automatic found in the wreckage of the big plane. The theory is that a passenger temporarily deranged or planning to commit suicide without inval idating his insurance polices-slugged the pilot and co-pilot, causing the.

plane to plunge out control. Smith said he was convinced that the plane was "in good fly ing condition," and that the pilot was not endeavoring to land. Department of commerce offic ials say the "human element" and not mechanical defects caused the crash. -The Dallas, Texas, News report ed that one of the passengers tried to buy an additional in insurance after boarding the plane in the east. Smith said that he had no way of learning the amount of insur ance carried by passengers.

"A third body, other than those of the pilot and co-pilot, was found in the forward part of the wreck age, ahead of the two motors," he said, adding, however, that the identity of the passenger had not been established. He said the fact that a third body was found ahead "is not entirely conclusive that the passenger was in the cock-pit or in the forward part of the ship when it crashed." Eugene L. Vidal, director of air commerce, and Major R. Schroeder, chief airlines inspector, withheld comment at Washington. Vidal said he had not yet re ceived report on the finding of a pistol and a piece of metal with a hole through it about the size of a bullet in the plane wreck age.

Sheriff J. M. Campbell of Forrest City, who found the metal, said that if the hole was made by a bullet, it was fired from inside the ship. Ed Hurlburt, Memphis airline of ficial, said he believed a passen ger owned the weapon. The metal and pistol will be inspected by de nartment of justice experts at Washington who will determine whether the weapon was fired.

COURT QUASH MOT State Rests in 'Scottsboro' Retrial After Presenting Testimony DECATUR, Jan. 21 TV-Attorneys for Heywood Patterson, first of nine negro defendants to be retried in Morgan county in the "Scottsboro" case unsuccessfully for a mistrial late today, basing the motion on remarks of Judge W- W.

Watts, defense counsel who made the motion, he would "rectify" if the defense would be specific.

Watts told the court "we feel comments Of the court tending to minimize the importance of the defense has made it impossible for us to get a fair trial."

Kirkpatrick, coroner, said the youths evidently were overcome by carbon monoxide gas generated by a charcoal heater kept in banana cars during the winter. The men were discovered by a special messenger in charge of a string of fruit cars which left New Orleans at 9 p.m. Monday.
