DAILY CLARION-LEDGER, JACKSON, MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1932 PAGE TWELVE Ohio Candidate SPECIAL REPORT TO TELL SOLONS ABOUT FINANCES CONDUCT BROOKS FUNERAL FRIDAY Conner Opposes Plan To Split Legislative Term SALESMAN PASSES AT WALTHAL HOME Tylertown Bank Is In Good Condition and Pays Dividend 2 WOMEN FOUND IN GRAVEYARD OF AIR Searchers Find Bodies of Young Flyers in Pennsylvania Mountains LAKE IS NAMED WAHABI POTENATE Delegates to Imperial Council are Selected at Meet- ing of Temple (S I w.v v.v.v.v;.j "1 4 V- Jl 7 VS I DUGGAN RECEIVES BELATED PARDON State Penitentiary's Only University "Student" is Given Freedom Jimmy Duggan, tcntenced to a long term in the state penitentiary in connection with the 1928 robbery of trw Bank of Lumberton, been pardoned by Governor T. G. Bilbo. The pardon, dated December 4, d. not show up in the penitentiary office until yesterday, however, as the solicitor said Duggan was out on suspension and that he was not in a hurry to file the executive release.

Duggan, whose home was listed as Hattlesburg, was the lone prisoner among the state's 2,000 who claimed a university education. Recently he took the state bar examination, for which he studied while out on suspension. He has oeen out on suspension since last Auril and is now said to be in Iowa.

Culkin of Vicksburg, chairman, taking the lead. In the house the decks have been cleared for a group headed by Representative T. G. McCallum of Laurel to present their information on the many tax facts that the solons must consider in their revenues plans. The entire day Is expected to be given over to the thoughts of members of the committee, with no outside comments until the committee's complete case is closed, which may not come until tomorrow.

While facts relating to a two per cent general sales tax are expected to come from the committee's observations, the report of the committee is expected to confine itself to figures showing how much money could, be expected from this source in the light of its studies, with no suggestions as to what course the legislature may pursue. To this extent the committee's policy would be in line with the thoughts of Governor-elect Mike Conner. Although Conner has maintained his usual' tight-lipped silence that he has said he: will not break until he takes office, he has let it be known that he will make no recommendations for specific action on any matter pertaining to legislation to be advanced, but will confine himself to general policies relating to increasing of revenue and eliminating of, unnecessary expense in state operations. The significance of the steering committee's report at this time is that it comes well enough in advance to have the stage set for quick action when the new administration takes hold. While the several remaining legislative days before Conners' taking of office are expected to bring up floor arguments of every conceivable nature on the budget-balancing problem, the way was cleared yesterday for expediting committee action and legislative work alike.

This was provided for in sweeping changes in temporary house rules adopted, yesterday. These changes would mean giving over each morning to committee session and each afternoon to legislative sessions. The house would convene for legislative at 1 o'clock and accomplish more work and on a faster schedule than ever before, according to Representative Walter Sillers of Bolivar, vice chairman of the old rules committee, and chairman of the committee on temporary rules. The change, he said, was made to emphasize importance to committee work, as many members would attend a committee session in the morning when it was known that a definite standing time was set for this work. Citizens-at-large would' cooperate more with ideas for solving Mississippi's titantlc governmental problems through knowing definitely that they could brng their ideas before the committee in public hearings at definite morning hours, he advanced as another argument for stripping down machinery for the new administration's work.

To reach all classes of possible contributors to state revenues is the general idea behind Peering committee thoughts as thu3 far revealed, Senator Culkin declaring on the floor of the seriate yesterday that the ideas were to be offered "for what they are worth." Advocates of the general sales tax are evenly divided as to whether this could mean any substantial reduction ad valorem. Senator W. B. Roberts is among one strong group in the senate opposed to the sales tax "under, any consideration unless it can be worked out to reduce ad valorem." Roberts, who drafted the original general sales tax proposal ten years ago, said he would offer a bill with these provisions. While the senate adopted Senator Harper's bill asking for an appropriation of $250,000 to defray salaries and expenses of house and senate contingent funds, Representative Lawrence Kennedy, chairman of the old appropriations was drafting more complete measure expected to include expenses of old investigating committees.

Although the new administration is known to be committed to the idea of transacting all necessary business at one short session for this blennium, Representative Walter Capers of Hinds made his maiden effort at legislation yesterday with a bill that would make it unneces-, sary for the legislature to wait on the call of the governor if an emergency should arise in state affairs. He was joined in the effort by Hopkins of Coahoma and Posey of Hinds. Senator Roberts yesterday launched an early move toward stabilizing Mississippi bonds, with a resolution asking the federal government to lend its credit supporting state bonds. Opposition to tax increases at this time was requested by Roberts at the same time, asking the legislature to go on record on this stand. Both branches of the legislature yesterday looked on timidly at proposals for rules changes.

Reflected through the window, however, it appeared that the lower floor of the school building was afire.

I know of no useful purpose that could be served by adjourning the house after organization plans have been perfected Conner said when told that various suggestions had been made to defer active legislative work until he takes over duties. January 19. One group was In favor of stopping proceedings immediately after Governor Bilbo's farewell message. Another favored the Idea of adjourning for two weeks to give Conner time to come Into The conservatives, far in the majority, hold to the idea that the'job of organizing; cannot be properly done if the solons' thoughts are turned from the work before them, nad are overwhelmingly in favor of keeping right "on the business of organizing and preparing the stage so that the governmental house will be flly in order when Conner takes office. If there Is any partisanship sentiment in the house, it has certainly been subdued thus far, and If these suggestions are only way in which it is to be exhibited, it is far from any chance of being asserted.

There is no mistaking the genuine popularity of the incoming governor. But the thoughts of the legislators on the whole seem to be taken up with enthusiasm at the idea of working behind a man committed to systematic straightening out of state problems. About the most unwilling subject for any legislator at this time Is politics. He will talk about almost anything under the sun pertaining to proposals for raising revenues, reducing appropriations without crippling departments, and doing away with unnecessary expenses, but his heart thus far has found no reception for any thought of politi cal wrangling.

RELIEF IS HURRIED TO FLOODED AREA (Continued from Page One) The railroad today carried 10.000 Handbags to Philipps where the excessive flow of the Tallahtchle river and the breaking of the levee above caused a temporary flight of residents to the high rail grade. The Red Cress was rushing 400 rniy tents from New Orleans to Tallahatchie county to house the sufferers in concentration camps and Glendora. Clarksdale, Xlosedale and Greenwood answered the call of emergency today and sent scores of light craft and flat-bottom boats into the Twilight-Phillpps area to rescue marooned and search for any families missing. Today's break at Sharkev was the greatest blow of the December-January continued flood.

Early in the flood there was a triple break in the levees south of Batesville. flooding wide areas which are still under water. Glendora was flooded by a big crevasse, but convicts repaired it. Other levees, though of a minor nature, have broken in the Cassidy and Matthew bayou sections, turning Tallahatchie county virtually into an Inland lake. Flood workers looked upon the Sharkey levee break as a forewarning for other major levees in view of more water coming down the river to add to a stage already beyond all records for Tallahatchie valley.

Particular apprehension was felt for the safety of Philipps as the flood moved on. Hundreds of convicts were kept at work on the levees there and a fleet of boats was in readiness to float the pop ulation. The wan of water roaring through the Sharkey levee crevasse lessened the fight the river was giving in the Swan Lake. Webb and Glen dora region just below and bright ened tneir nopes in the flood. Duo to the recurrent rains and cerst rises, relief workers labored in the belief that Tallahatchie county would suffer from backwaters for weeks and wide scale organized relief and rehabilitation was planned.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 7 Pennsylvania's mountains, grave yard of aviation, today yielded the bodies of two young women on the eve of their projected flight from New York to Buenos Aires. the wing-stripped, splintered wreckage of their plane, Pennsylvania national guardsmen and forest rangers found the bodies of Mrs.

Ruth Stewart, 26, St. Louis, and Mrs. Debbie Stanford, 28, Indianapolis. Lost in the rain and fog which separated it from a companion plane early Tuesday afternoon, the ship had crashed in the heart of the Tuscarora state forest, 40 miles west of this city. The mangled bodies, which authorities had difficulty in identifying, were soaked with gasoline.

The ignition of the plane had been cut off by Mrs. Stewart, and there was no fire in this, latest of the mountain crashes which have taken the lives of 12 air mail pilots, as well as of less, experienced aviators. Mrs. Stanford, in the rear seat, was trapped by the telescoped framework, which had to be sawed away by cavalrymen removing the bodies. Both legs were broken and she suffered a deep gash in the forehead.

Unlike the pilot who was killed instantly, Mrs. Stanford had survived the crash, only to die while fog obscured the wreckage yesterday. In themist which swept her from the view of Gentry Shelton and her parents, travelling in an accompanying plane, Mrs. Stewart lost her bearings after crossing all but one ridge. As she circled about in the low-hanging- clouds, the plane was headed westward, into the mountain and crashed.

Richard G. Herblne, state aviation inspector, said the plane had either gone into a spin in the thick fog or had nose-dived Into the earth at the end of a glide. RITCHIE PUTS HAT IN RING (Continued From Page One) "For -any American to deny that he is proud of such mention would be false modesty.

And now by cheer federal usurpation and supine indifference we have seen powers and responsibilities of the states surrendered, rights and privileges of the individual destroyed and the functions of local self-government steadily and progressively weakened."

STIMSON DEFENDS U. S. LOAN POLICY Glass and Johnson Reiterate Charge of "Lawlessness" In Losses WASHINGTON. l.JJPi A state department defense of its pol'cies on foreign loans drew XI- 1 lurtner attacics toaay irom sena torial critics. The department in a lenarthv statement prepared by Secretary Stimson denied the charge by Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, that -it -was "morally responsible for -American losses in foreign oonas.

Glass retaliated by characterizing the department's statement as a "wretched subterfuge" and reit erated his cnarge that it had acted "lawlessly' the oreiero bonds. Senator Johnson, republican, Cali- iornia, also joined in the attack.

The committee's' incomplete records show that since 1926, when that warning was issued, American bankers have loaned $762,575,000 to the German governments and private German companies. Senator Johnson, who instigated the Investigation of the flotation of foreign bonds, criticized the state department for not having appraised congress and the committee of the Kellogg letter's existence, and said that representative Fish, republican.

New York, had been unable to obtain it. The letter was printed today in. a Baltimore newspaper, and Johnson read it to the committee out of that paper. i Commerce department officials fcOld the finance committee the state department had approved South American loans despite, information at the commerce department that they were not good risks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Repeated American protests against the Japanese occupation of Manchuria were capped today by a direct notification that the United States would stand nits rights under international agreements, including the nine power treaty and the Kellogg-Briand pact against war, A note was dispatched to Tokyo reaffirming the American position in the face of continuing Japanese operations which now have virtually completed the conquest of the Manchurian provinces. Officials would not discuss the subject in any way. They declined for the time being even to speculate on the steps which may be possible now that Washington has taken the lead among the powers toward an invocation of the treaties considered applicable.

The nine power treaty, negotiated at the Washington arms conference in 1922. pledged the nations having interests in the far east to respect the sovereignty, the independence, and the territorial integrity of China." Those who signed that pledge, in addition to China, were the United States, Japan, Great Britain. France. Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal. Five other nations have since adhered to this treaty.

The Kellogg-Briand pact, to which Japan along with most of the other nations of the world are signatory, renounces war "as an instrument of national policy." Neither of these agreements ever has led to actual concerted action, and it has been a matter of speculation just what action might be taken under them. Both lack definite statements as to what would happen in case of Tlolatlon. While officials here have consistently refrained from comment on the developing trouble in Manchuria, news dispatches have shown clearly the war-like character of the Japanese advance through these northern Chinese provinces. This advance began in September when Japanese troops stationed along the south' Manchurian railway, where they had a right to be under treaty agreements, began attacking various Chinese communities outside the railway zone. They speedily captured Mukden, the capital, pushed on to the north and finally returned to complete their occupation by taking Chlnchow, the southern gateway.
