One of the first things the bill does is to create "Vehicle Commissioner'' at a salary of $4,800 a year. The Gov ernor of Alabama who is the chief ex ecutive officer of the State will not be allowed under the bill to have voice in the newly created department, the bill providing that the highway committees of the Senate and House meet and submit report to the two bodies who shall elect It is provided in the bill that the term of office of the "Vehicle Commissioner" will expire on the second Tuesday of February, 1935, and at that time the Senate is to elect his successor. The proposed bill gives power to the "Ve- hide Commissioner" to enforce rules and regulations concerning motor vehicles as to equipment. This means that the "Vehicle Commissioner" will be all pow-erf ul in selecting equipment that auto' mobiles will have to carry and creates an accessory monopoly, in the opinion of those who have studied the bill.

The bill not only creates (he lucrative "Vehicle Commissioner" Job, but also gives the "Vehicle Commissioner" un limited authority to employ deputies, as sistants and clerks and fix their salaries. All this is without any authority from the Governor. Under the terms of the bill there would be an unlimited supply of agents, moving over the State at the expense at the taxpayers. It is proposed to take from the highway department all monies now being received from lines for traffic law violations and put it Into this special fund tor the 'Vehicle Commissioner' and Ws unlimited personnel, But What le regarded as the real "nigger in the woodpile" in the bill is article 15 beginning on page 30 or the printed MIL On page 31 It is provided that automobile ''headlamps must be of a type which has been approved by the commissioner." And on line nine of page 31 it is provided that "headlamps on "motorcycles shall be of a type which has been approved by the commissioner." And on line 13 on page 31 of the bill it is provided that "rear lamps must be of a type which has been approved by the commissioner."

(M Two Missouri Penitentiary convicts today kidnaped a guard in the crowded business district of the city, forced a convict chauffeur to drive into the country, where they forced him out of the car, and drove away with the guard.

The guard, Harry Williams, had accompanied the convicts, R. E. Miller and Harry Wellman, to a physician's office by automobile. When they returned to the car, they forced the driver, Jack London, to drive them northwest from Jefferson City. London reported he was thrown from the car at Elston, 18 miles northwest of here.

He said the two convicts threatened him with knives, apparently stolen from the physician's office. Two carloads of guards were rushed to Elston, where they picked up London and continued to search for the small brown sedan in which the escaped convicts were riding. Late today Williams notified officials be was safe in Kansas City, the two convicts having forced him from the car near the city limits. Youth Is Acquitted Of Slaying Step-Father WELCH, W.

Scientist's Name Signed With Three Others To Cablegram From Berlin Albert Einstein, famous German scientist and originator of the theory of relativity, is one of the signers of a cablegram received at the office of Gov. Miller yesterday, urging clemency for the eight negroes under sentence of death for criminally assaulting two white girls in Jackson County. The cabled message from the German capital, signed with the names of Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Kaethe Kollwltz and Alfons Goldschmidt, said: "Hundreds of representatives of intellectual Berlin beg you in the last hour for the sake of humanity to stop the sentence against the eight young negroes of Scottsboro." There can be little doubt that the "Albert Einstein" whose name is signed to the cable, and the famed Prof. Albert Einstein, who recently visited this country, are one and the same, when reference is made to a press dispatch from Berlin under date of July This dispatch announced that sup porting the committee formed in New York by Theodore Dreiser, to save the eight negroes convicted at Scottsboro, from the electric chair, a German committee had been formed by Prof.

Al fons Goldschmidt, traveler and noted lawyer. It was further stated that Prof. Goldschmidt "had obtained the adhesion of Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Leon Feuchtwanger, George Ledebour and other prominent scientists, authors and public men." From the wording of the cablegram it is obvious that those who sent it were laboring under the erroneous impression, apparently shared in by practically everyone outside the boundaries cf Alabama despite repeated announcements through the press to the contrary, that the eight negroes were to be electrocuted July 10, the execution date set by the trial court. As a matter of fact all of the defendants have appeals now pending in the Supreme Court of Ala bama, and carrying out of the death sentences is suspended until that tribunal 22,000 Kansas Oil Wei Close 300 Independent Owners Decide Move Tn Effort To Raise Crude Prices WICHITA, OUt, July, 11. JP) Immediate shutdown of Kansas oil weUs, estimated, to number 22,000,.

was agreed upon by more than 300 independent ope rators at a conference here tate today to consider remedy for low prices for crude oil. t- I Speakers declared that present prices ef from 10 to 22 cents a barrel posted by purchasing companies were under the cost of production. In Joining the producers' strike under way in other states of the mid-continent area, the operators estimated the suspen don in Kansas would throw 300,000 men out of work. The wells affected by the shutdown agreement have a dally production of ap proximately 102,000 barrels, with a poten tial of more than 200,000 barrels. The suspension will not apply to wells subject to introduction of water.

They will be permitted to remain on pump to prevent destruction. Although the suspension agreement Is to become effective at once, no other meeting of the producers will be held to complete final arrangements of details. The vote followed a speech by Thur- man Hill, member of the Kansas Public Service Commission, blaming a "stupid Congress" for the plight of the industry. Perhaps the proration law could be strengthened," he said. "But would that benefit producers without a tariff and limited embargo? The first remedy is a special session of Congress." Hill praised the Kansas operators for their orderly production, adding they "should have been rewarded with a price increase rather than having their bread and butter taken away."

Only two things remain to be settled before Fall goes to prison. One will prob ably be disposed of Monday. It Is whether he is willing to have his sentence changed to a year and a day In a penitentiary.

This would give the Attorney General the power to send him to a prison where the climate is better for him than of Washington. The suggestion that the sentence be modified came frcm Justice Bailey. He said physicians who had predicted a prison terra might cause Fall's death apparently felt much of the danger would grow from his transfer to Washington from the drier air of the West.
