The mayor Is at liberty to ap point five citizens as the resolution, sponsored by Aid. Leo a. Straus, did not specify how the members should be selected.

The council also adopted the board of personnel's recommenda tions of qualifications to be required of candidates for city attorney to succeed Francis Lamb whose resignation became effective Feb. 1. The board was directed to conduct an examination soon, preferably prior to the next council meeting, Jan. 28. After Aid.

George E. Gill's ordinance providing that all apartments, rooming houses, hotels and flats rented out by the owners must main tain temperatures of at least 70 degrees, when the outside temperature is 60 or less, had been recommended for passage, Aid. Patrick H. Barry blocked immediate action when he announced that a number of people had called him up and requested that they be given a public hearing. At the request of Aid.

James J. Feeney, the public hearing on the O'Brien rooming house ordinance also was postponed from Jan. 26 to Feb. 9 before the ordinance committee. Feeney declared that university examinations will be in full swing during the week of Jan.

26 and that many university people want to be heard. Aid. Norris E. a 1 ordinance committee chairman, announced that the Gill ordinance will also be given an airing on the night of Feb. 9.

Although Straus did not mention the possibility of the city and adjoining suburbs seceding from Dane county, some aldermen believe the object of his resolution is to form a new county. Madison now pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the county besides maintaining its own government. It would take legislative action to bring about the change. Outside of Madison and Stough-ton there are 260 school districts and about 780 school officials, Straus explained. He also estimated that outside of law enforcement officials there are about 1,508 city, village and town officials In the county.

Including the cities, Straus said, about $150,000 in salaries are paid to administrative officials. Straus declared he hopes that the survey will result In a concrete recommendation to avoid waste in expenditures due to duplications and overlapping and that the committee will determine the feasibility of enlarging local government areas. He said similar surveys are being made in New York, Minnesota and Ohio. All candidates for city attorney must have had at least five years' experience in practice. An examining board consisting of three attorneys will be selected to conduct the exam.

No one will be selected to membership on this board if he has any relative among the candidates or if he has in any way promoted any of the candidates. The personnel board will select th-3 examiners at once and an- ospital William Bill Abernathy, janitor at the police station, wants nothing more to do with boxes of shotgun shells, empty or otherwise.

May Not Ask Death in Wright Case LOS ANGELES (U.R) The prosecution indicated Friday that it might not seek the death penalty for Paul A. Wright, young aviation executive charged with killing his wife and his best friend when he found them in a compromising position in his home. Chief Prosecution Deputy S. Ernest Roll, resuming questioning of prospective jurors after a morning-long recess, omitted all questions touching upon capital punishment. Observers construed his failure to dwell upon the death sentence to mean that he would ask nothing more than, as he stated before the trial began, "a verdict consistent with all of the evidence and fair to both the people of the state and the defendant." When court resumed Friday afternoon a wooden barricade had been built to keep out the crowds curious to hear the trial of the man charged with slaying his pretty wife, Evelyn McBride Wright, and his best friend, John Kimmel, operations chief of United Airlines here.

Judge Ingall Bull asked prospective jurors if they were prejudiced against the death penalty, and Roll asked a few supplementary questions along the same line. His failure to re-emphasize the points, customary in first degree murder cases, created the impression among courtroom observers that he would not call for a "no mercy" verdict. nounce the date of examination. If it is not possible to fill the vacancy by Feb. 1, Doris Lehner, assistant, will serve until a successor to Lamb has been chosen.

There is also pending a resolution designating Miss Lehner as acting attorney until the third Tuesday in April when Lamb's term expires. Aldermen argued at length a recommendation made by the claims committee that several members of the police department be paid for illness in 1937 in excess of the 14 days allowed by ordinance. When Aid. Harry J. Alwin, committee chairman, revealed that several of the men injured on duty had also drawn compensation by order of the industrial commission, some aldermen hesitated about paying them Under the provisions of an ordinance, sick leave in excess of 14 days can te paid by the council If reports of the heads of departments show that the men were justified in being off.

As the ordinance committee has before it proposed rules and regulations from the board of personnel providing for cumulative sick leave, the council postponed action and referred the matter to the judiciary committee. Maloney said he plans to take up the rules at the next meeting of the ordinance committee, Jan. 26. Officers involved in claims for overtime sick leave are Sgt. Bert Austin, Lieut A.

To Follow Sutherland on Bench WASHINGTON (U.R) President Roosevelt today; nominated Stanley Reed, solicitor general of the United States, to the supreme court justiceship left vacant by retirement of Justice George Sutherland. The president submitted the nomination of Reed to the senate in a surprise move, as the recommendation had not been expected before Tuesday when Sutherland formally steps down from the bench. Reed is a 53-year-old veteran of new deal legal battles before the high tribunal. Upon him has fallen the burden of defending the government in repeated challenges before the supreme court of legislation enacted by Mr.

Roosevelt's administration. On the Desk Reed's nomination was laid on the desk of Vice-President John N. Garner at the opening of the sen-ale session. Unlike the nomination of Associate Justice Hugo L. Black, the nomination was on a typewritten sheet rather than a regular supreme court nomination blank.

Black's name had been written in by the president In a large, hand while Reed's name was typewritten. The senate had met an hour earlier than usual to consider the anti-lynching bill bat there was only, a meager, attendance when the nomination was disclosed. Directed Defense As solicitor general. Reed directed the legal defense of the government before the supreme court and -repeatedly had been suggested as a likely nominee to a high court vacancy. The senate alieady had given notice that the nomination would be subject to closest scrutiny by the judiciary committee prior to a report to the senate which must confirm the selection.

Chairman Henry F. Ashurst, (d', of the senate judiciary committee said that opportunity would be given for any "coherent" citizen who desired to appear at hearings on the nomination. "Defended Plan Reed defended Mr. Roosevelt's court plan in a strong letter to Ashurst at the height of the bitter controversy which ended in the junking of the president's proposal. With retirement of Justice Willis Van Devanter last June, Reed immediately was mentioned as a likely appointee to the vacancy.

Instead, Mr. Roosevelt rcminated Black. Reed's confirmation by the senate will give Mr. Roosevelt his second appointment to the supreme court and was expected to insure the new deal a majority of five justices on the nine-man tribunal. The other four members of the court depended upon to vote to sustain administration legislation are Black and Justices Louis D.

Brandels, Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin N. Car-dozo, now critically ill. Many Cases-Reed has personally pleaded many new deal causes before the court or which he was nominated to sit. Most recently he handled the argument which resulted in the court ruling upholding the right of the public works administration to make grants and loans to municipalities ior power projects.

Cases argued by Reed in the supreme court included the rold clause, the national recovery admin istration, the agricultural adjustment administration, the Tennessee valley authority, securities and exchange act, holaing company act. wagner labor rtlations act. the rail way act and processing taxes cases. To his associates in the department of justice, Reed was known as a "workhorse," spending most of his evenings at his office, preparing briefs and arguments for presentation in important cases. Collapsed So great was the strain of his work that the solicitor general collapsed while arguing the validity of the Bankhead cotton law before the supreme court three years ago.

Decisions which Reed helped to win in the supreme court were credited by the administration with establishing a new trend in American social and economic legislation, toward a more liberal use of lawmaking powers in the interests of the people, or various segments of the population. Two of the most important cases the national recovery act, which was declared unconstitutional by an unanimous vote, and the agricultural adjustment act, invalidated by a divided court, went against the government. Reed Is classified by friends as a moderate liberal. As a youthful legislator-lawyer in Kentucky, he wrote and fought through to enactment the state's first child labor law, and later helped organize a cooperative association of tobacco growers to help farmers get better prices. Two Hobbies Reed has several hobbles.

One is MAE WEST Mae Gets 'Spanking By FCC WASHINGTON (U.R) Mae West, buxom movie queen who drawlingly proposed to "do the Big Apple" in her much Dublicized "Garden of Eden broadcast" Dec. 12, was verbally spanked Friday by the federal communications commission. While taking no formal action against NBC, Miss West or other participants in the broadcast, tne commission warned, however, that the incident would be reviewed when licenses pf stations which carried the broadcast come up for renewal. Chairman Frank R. McNinch made public a letter to Lenox B.

Lohr, president of the National Broadcasting describing the radio skit as "far below even the minimum standards" for programs. NBC already has apologized to radio audiences for the skit and has issued orders prohibiting future references to Miss West on any broadcast emanating from its studios. Meanwhile, in the house, Rep. Lawrence Connery Mass.) renewed his criticism of the "Adam and Eve" broadcast, Rep. Thomas O'Malley Wis.) suggested that the radio impose censor ship on itself like the movies.

The commission's letter also cited other characters in the broadcast, Don Ameche and Charlie McCarthy, ventriloquist dummy. Lohr was advised that when the 12 stations which carried the broad cast applied for license renewal, the "commission will take into consid eration this incident along with all other evidence tending to show whether or not a particular licensee has conducted his station in the public interest." McNinch explained that there was no attempt to censor radio programs but that his commission was paying "active attention to protests registered by the public against objectionable broadcasts."

and pilfered $20 from the till of the Cold Spring tavern on highway 33 early today. Three customers were menaced with guns and forced to submit to having their hands bound behind them with neck scarves, according to the story of the shooting told to Sheriff Ben F. Runkel. The three in the barroom, operated by Joe Ranico, Port Washington, were Ed win Schnepf, Lester Reiner and Lester Bradley, all of West Bend. As they stood talking to Baum garten, Helen Anderson and an other employe of the bar, three youthful strangers entered.

They bought drinks and departed shortly before 1 a. m. In five minutes the strangers returned with guns in their hands. As the gunmen bound the trio from West Bend, Baumgarten tried to slip away through a narrow hallway. One of the bandits shot him tnrough the back.

The bandit who had shot him enlisted the as sistance of Miss Anderson and to gether they carried Baumgarten to couch. The wounded man died as the gunman who had shot him vainly attempted to bandage his wound. After robbing the till, the gun men pilfered about $5 from the pockets of a roomer sleeping upstairs, ripped out the telephone wire in the tavern and then fled In a speedy light car. Anthony Savicks. Port Washing ton, driving up in his automobile, saw their departure.

He and Charles Neuhenhingen pursued the fugi tive slayers. Savicks car got stuck in the snow and he gave up the fruitless pursuit at Saukville. 'At a Whitewater Gelosi to Waupun Jackson Flays Business Parasites' "See Tangle on Holding Company War." (Story on Page 2, Column 7.) ROCHESTER. N. Y.

(U.R) Assis tant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, the new deal's No. 1 trust- buster, renewei his attack on mono polies today, warned business to free itself of holding company "para sites" and absentee landlords, and called the so-called "death sentence for utility companies "the emancipation proclamation for local operating companies." Denouncing "financial bureau cracies," he repeated his previous castigation of "The ruthless few' hwo "exploit our social life to satisfy their own over-developed instincts of acquisition." Jackson spoke before the Rochester City club here only a few miles from his home in Jamestown, N. Y. He devoted a large portion of his address to praise of relations between New York state government and business.

Jackson's attack on "financial bureaucracies" and "parasitic" holding companies followed closely President Roosevelt's call Friday for elimination of all holding companies. But Jackson devoted his castigation largely to holding companies in the public utility and financial fields. Absentee Interests Ke criticized particularly absentee financial Interests who "have no interest in your community, no close knowledge of local labor conditions or conditions, in other local industries." Using the Eastman Kodak located here, and its founder, George Eastman, as an example, he said that there was no fear of size that justifies itself by efficiency and economy. "Men like Gf)ige Eastman were creators, willing to live and let live," Jackson said. "But the vast financial bureaucracies which try to get financial control of these local industries are not creators.

In the main they are parasites. Greatest Threat "My conclusion Is that the greatest threat to enterprise and sound business is the threat of the speculating financiers, who grab these locally developed Industries for Jackson called upon business to Where Clipper San Bones, Shirt Found In Stomach of Shark Ohnhaus Twins, 78, Separated by Dea th PAGO PAGO, Samoa U.R) Human bones and a man's shirt were taken today from the stomach of a shark caught on the north shore of Tutuila Island, near where the Samoan Clipper exploded and sank with Capt.
