28. (Exclusive) An experiment to determine whether feminine companionship will be effective in curing ten male patients of the State Hospital at Anna, 111., of dementia praecox is being conducted by Or. O. J. Hagebush, managing officer of the institution.

An announcement sent out today stated that ten young women, employees of the hospital, and the ten men patients in mate in the United States Navy was attacked last night in bet, home near Waiklki Beach.

ROAD MEASURE SC0REDBY HYDE Secretary Hits $132,000,000 Bill Passed by House Emergency Legislation Called Pork Barrel Says But 35,000 of 6,000,000 Idle Would Be Helped WASHINGTON.

Feb. 28. (Exclusive) The $132,000,000 emergency road construction bill passed yesterday by the House was denounced today by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, who will administer it if it is finally enacted, as 'pork-barrel" legislation which would fail to lessen unemployment to any appreciable extent, while adding to the Treasury deficit and to the necessity for increasing taxes. Hyde's stand against the measure is believed to presage a veto by President Hoover if the Senate follows the lead of the other branch and puts the Ull through, as now seems probable. Advanced by the Democratic majority in the House as ah aid to agriculture and unemployment, the bill, Secretary Hyde declared, would provide employment for only about 35,000 persons a mere scratch on the surface, considering the estimated to be out of work.

Moreover, the further strain imposed on the country through raising the money to finance the proposed road program, the Secretary said, would "deprive more people of employment indirectly than we can employ directly." Hyde pointed out also that the proposed fund is to be allocated not MYER SIEGEL AND COMPANY 733 South Flower Los Angeles Month-End Sale MONDAY MORNING.

BY EDNA E. CHRISTOFFERSON (Copyright. 1932, by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) ATLIN Feb. 28.

(Exclusive) -Those ten days of waiting in our makeshift shelter on Gladys River in the isolated British Columbia mountains, where we were forced down when our gasoline supply ran out on the flight from Hazelton, B. the most lonely, the most and the coldest I have ever endured and "Bill" Graham, my companion on this flight, agrees with me. Death menaced us from manyn-gles. With the temperature at 65 deg. below zero, there was the ever present danger of freezing.

Although we were careful with our provisions and remained hungry most of the time, the food supply decreased alarmingly, which brought about the possibility of starvation. And there was constant exposure to the elements what if we became ill? LOG OF WHAT HAPPENED are glad it's over how. and that our friends sent out that rescue plane to find us. Otherwise, we would have perished and no one would have found us for months, probably. What happened Impatient to leave Hazelton, where we were stormbound for several days, we finally loaded everything into the plane and took off for Atlin on the 15th after receiving a report that the weather was clear over the most rugged mountains of the North American continent, directly across our flight.

We had gasoline enough only for thirty minutes' flying beyond the estimated time to reach Atlin, so that made the task doubly difficult for Mr. Graham. Up here there are no railroads, no towns, no landmarks to check your country. It's just a waste of terrifying mountains. So strong was the wind that at 8000 feet we seemed to be hovering etill in the air.

Our gas was getting low after five hours of flying. Ahead we could see nothing but blizzards and storms and the gale increased to sixty miles an hour. E'jfore we realized it the storms closed In on us. From all sides they came until we were in the midst of blinding snow. Below us was a 'Wilderness of crags and ravines.

MAKES PERFECT LANDING 'We circled over Gladys Elver HAVANA, Feb. 28. WV-One person was killed and several were wounded in political animosities today while soldiers stood guard over polling-places as Cuban voters elected municipal Assemblymen. Eduardo Estrada was shot to death in Quemado de Guines, Santa Clara Province. He was with Representative Campo, Liberal, at the time.

In Ciego de Avila, Camaguey Province, supporters of Enrique Vlllena and Enrique Reico, candidates for the Liberal nomination for Governor, fought with pistols, hammers and other weapons. An undetermined number of persons were injured. THREE BOMBS EXPLODE Santiago dispatches said three bombs exploded there, one in the home of Senator Clavel, another in that of Dr. Eduardo Hacha, brother of the Mayor, and the third in front of the Provincial Palace. Alarm at the Provincial Palace explosion proved fatal to Senora Flora Aguero, who had Just given birth to a child.

Today's primaries were the first step in the reorganization of Cuba's three major political parties Liberals, Conservatives and Populars preliminary to November's elections. Municipal Assemblies name provincial Assemblymen who in turn select delegates to the national conventions. In November, mayors, municipal Councilmen, provincial governors and Councilmen, half the House of Representatives and two Senators, the latter to fill vacancies caused by deaths, will be elected. EYES ON 1934 The Liberals, members of President Machado's own party, looked beyond today's primaries and beyond November's partial elections to the vote in 1934 for President. Aspirants to succeed President Ma-chaio are Gov Barcelo of Oriente Province, who formally has announced his candidacy; Clemente Vasquez Bello, president of the Senate, and Senator Guttierrez.

Our radio batteries froze on the 19th, so we were left entirely alone in the great stillness, disturbed only by the howling of the blizzard.

We did not light the heater in the cabin of the ship because we wished to conserve the fuel for emergency use. The inside of the ship's cabin was covered with froet an inch thick. That was our coldest day with the mercury down to B5 deg. below zero. Not a sound came to break the silence.

The sun looked like a piece of Ice. It was too cold for anyone to travel, so we waited and shivered. Mush and tea became monotonous. SPRING COATS Fortsman's Diagonal. Detachable blue fox collar.

SWEATERS SKIRTS SOMETIMES we are asked by other funeral directors if it is wise of us to speak so freely on matters of costs, credit arrangements and the various details which make up a modern funeral service.

Isn't it possible, they say, that people will expect more value for a small sum than we can afford to give? And won't they be offended at any mention of price where their sentiments are so deeply involved? As a matter of fact, people nowadays expect too little instead of too much from the funeral director. It is high time they realized that a service can be beautiful and appropriate without excessive cost It is only fair that a mortuary capable of providing complete facilities for a small amount should let this truth be known. Moreover, isn't it better to discuss funeral costs when the mind is calm and able to judge values rather than have the question forced upon those in bereavement? We believe that residents of Los Angeles, realizing that hundreds of their neighbors have been aided by our candid discussion of fu ncral costs, truly appreciate and approve Pierce Brothers educational work.
