NEW YORK, March 8 (A Two urbane robbers in spotless evening attire invaded Park-av apartment of Mrs Georgia Chapman Lloyd tonight, bound Mrs Lloyd and her daughter, Alice, 27, with picture wire, ransacked the place thoroughly and escaped. They took with them, police said, a $1500 diamond brooch and other jewelry valued at $500. The robbers, both about 35, laid careful plans for their foray, and first called the Lloyd apartment by telephone yesterday afternoon.

One posed as a Mr Scott and said he had met the daughter Alice in Paris four years ago. They arranged a meeting foi tonight. This is a stickup, said one of the men after they had stepped inside the apartment. Both drew revolvers. They removed their fawn-colored gloves and replaced them with rubber gloves.

Then they snipped the wires of the telephone. Mrs Lloyd and her daughter, frightened by the turn of events, were ordered into the bedroom, where they were bound hand and foot. For three-quarters of an hour, the men searched the rooms. It was 6:15 when they entered. At 7 oclock they were drawing on their fawn-colored gloves again, after which they strolled out.

The elevator man said they were quite calm when he stopped at the ninth floor in response to their ring. At the door they bid the doorman a pleasant good night and walked away into the darkness. It was an hour later that Mrs Lloyd was able to free herself. 4-- Photo MISS NORA J. OBRIEN Cashier at Egleston station of Boston Elevated.

Smith, member of the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, and former Commissioner of Labor and Industries in Massachusetts, predicted that the present year will be crucial in the history of the Federal Governments efforts to become a constructive influence in the field of labor relations. He discussed the operations of Section T-A relation to labor unions, and the question of the enactment of the Wagner-Connery Disputes bill, which aims to make 7-A a part of the permanent law of the land applicable to both coded and uncoded industries. "Like most economic proposal which are written into legislation." he said, "the results of 7-A have not been as expected.

There has been no wholesale flocking of workers into labor unions. The increase in membership in the American Federation of Labor since the codes and 7-A were adopted is surprisingly small. "Company unions, on the other band, have sprung up like weeds, since the Recovery act was -passed. Figures for their growth require a large allowance for exaggeration, because so many workers are simply put under company union plans by management without any real consultation of their wishes. It is apparent that growth of collective which 7-A was expected to fester, has taken place to greater extent in the arid field of company-controlled unions than in unions possessing independent economic strergth.

But Congress in passing 7-A believed it was enacting an instrument which would enable labor not only to hold its own. but also to extend its economic strength in the face of the r.se in prices which it was antic. pated would come about, through the codes. For any such fundamental economic purpose the company union is indeed a broken reed. The fact that collective bargain- ing by labor unions has not succeed- ed in reducing the relative share of t.

Such gams as there have been are more definitely attributable to the minimum wages and maximum hours provisions of the codes themselves, than to anything which organ ized labor has achieved by its own collective bargaining efforts Two things were essential to the success of 7-A as an economic and social measure; the first was a cooperative' attitude on the part the employer, the second was adequate machinery maintained by the Government for enforcement penalties against employers who tried to defeat the purposes of the law.

The reason 7-A has not as yet worked out as expected is, of course, not alone the inertia of the workers, but -n uncompromising hostility the act by powerful sections of in dustry. "Without an increasing organiza tion by labor to secure for itself proper share of the income from industrial production is to be feared that the employer will be faced for years to come with large numbers of unemployed anxious for jobs of those already at work. This will tend to depress wage levels. As long as N. R.

A. continues to operate competition will have a lessened effect in bringing down prices. All the more necessary is it that the industrial wage-earner should be in a position to organize to protect his pocketbook against a higher price level. Finally, it is necessary, if we are ever to have a civilization worthy of the name, to raise the economic lot of the wage-earners not only relatively but absolutely. In the last analysis the success of the Governments program for spreading collective bargaining depends upon how far it can reduce the opposition of organized employers.

Prof Henry Spokesfield Smiles A smile of happiness lighted Spokesfields face as he heard the motion of the district attorney and he immediately looked over at hii mother and brother, Harold, who were sitting some distance away from the steel pen in which he sat. guarded by four deputy sheriffs. His mother broke down as fh judge directed the jury to find tha defendant not guilty, and was only comforted after her son was released from the pen a few minute! later, and allowed to join her. Spokesfield, after quickly reassuring his family, rushed over to attorney John W. Newman, shook hands with him and thanked him for his assistance.

He then made his iy through a small and thanked Dist Atty Dewing for his fairness and courtesy in the handling of tha case. Declaring hef was going home to get a good meal and some re't, Spokesfield left the courtroom with his mothey and brother, after having been congratulated by many neighbors present at the trial. Robbery- Continued from the First Page She was absent from the cashiers cage about 15 minutes and, on return, found the door locked and the cash gone. I was amazed when I got back and discovered what had happened, said Miss OBrien. I did not suspect for a moment that the man was other than an Elevated guard.

When he came to the door all he said was: It is time for you to go to lunch. I have been sent to, stay here while you are gone. Miss OBrien lives at 201 Columbus av, Roxbury. The last known residence of the supposed thief, the police say was on Washington st. Alyce Continued from the First Page I want something to eat.

Im hungry, said Alyce warmly as the doctors, and an anonymous blood donor selected by the hospital, entered the operating room, where preparations for a transfusion were in readiness. Plans were at once altered. Alyce was taken back to her room and ler physicians took another gamble and decided that common food instead of human blood would be utilized to support her battle for strength. That appetite, which embraced even a plate of macaroni and cheese, and chicken' broth, may have stayed for a while a transfusion. But he attendants unofficially indicated that one will eventually be resorted to because of Alyces anemic condition.

MORE CUBAN STATE EMPLOYES STRIKE I Only Two Departments of Government Intact mally requesting the' Department of Penal Institutions to transfer the trio. Sheriff Capen, after examining the bill and the documents relative to the case of the Millens and Faber, said he would make no immediate request for their transfer. The sheriff said he would not trans fer the prisoners until he received a written order from Judge Brown who committed them to his keeping, Mr Capen said When the judge sen tenced the three prisoners to be exe cuted during the week of April 28, he signed a warrant to the sheriff and to the warden of the jail, consigning the prisoneHto their custody. Warrant Still Holds Regardless of the bill signed yesterday, Sheriff Capen declared, the warrant is still in effect. The sheriff expressed the opinion that the three prisoners would not be removed from the jail until April 18, when they would ordinarily been moved under the old law, 10 days before the time of their execution.

He said the law might be in voked in future capital cases, but he felt their security would not be jeopardized by not applying the new law to these defendants. Suicide- Continued from the First Page the other bullet is believed to be embedded in the mattress. ex- Weapon Under Towel HAVANA. March 8 (A. Employes of the Cuban State Department quit work tonight, leaving only two Government departments operating fully, as President Carlos Men-dietas Administration took vigorous steps to break strikes gripping the Nation.

The Cabinet authorized the Secretary of the Interior to issue provisional licenses to citizens to carry arms, in order to give employes filling strikers jobs means of protecting themselves. Shortly afterward police at Cama-guey struck at the Autentico party, one of the leading groups opposing the Government, arresting Aurelio Alvarez, one of its national leaders. A bomb heavily damaged one of several water mains at Marianao, which carried Havanas water supply, late this afternoon in the newest flareup of the intermittent violence punctuating the storm of strikes rag ing around the Mendieta Govern ment. fMEENEY DENIES INFLUENCE BY CURLEY Police Head Foe of Civil Service for High Officers DR FUESS TICKLES WILLIAMS ALUMNI Andover Headmaster at Boston Dinner Temperature Below 100 Look, mother, the child claimed later. I never had a stomach like this before.

Look at it, mummy, look at it. mummy, you'll have to cut up all my dresses now to make room for it. Gee! The bulletin tonight, given at 8 oclock, was more encouraging, more indicative of the road to recovery which thousands of correspondents throughout this Nation and Canada are wishing, than has been any bulletin given thus far since her operation. It read: Alyce Janes condition continues unchanged, temperature 99.4, pulse 112, respiration 20. Dr Cornelius Hawes and Dr Leonard Hill.

Duty to Defendant Before making his motion for a directed verdict, Dist Atty Dewing said, on the theory of the Commonwealths case the defendant either guilty of murder in the first degrea or he is entitled to acquittal. I realize that, as the district attorney of this county, I have an obligation, not only to the Commonwealth, but also to the dfendant. I have called to the witness stand In this case all witnesses who had any knowledge of the alleged crime, whether their testimony would ba helpful to the case of the Commonwealth or to the defendant. The Commonwealth in this case, as in all case is seeking only the truth. In his address to the jury Judge Pinanski said, I have followed tha evidence presented by the Commonwealth very carefully.

The court has been impressed by the testimony of Dr Timothy Leary, that some of tha injuries to the body of Marie Spokos-ficld were suffered during her lifetime and others were inflicted after her death, and that it was a dead body when the engine struck if. Dr Leary testified this morning that the injuries received before death could have been caused by a Tall of a living person over the side of the bridge onto and across the tracks below. ENZO FORSAKES RING TO STAYWITH WIFE Squabbles All Over, Says Former Mrs Astor When the revolver was not found a search of the room was made. The 38-caliber revolver, bought 20 years ago by the husband, was finally located under a towel in a drawer of a highboy, located 14 feet from the bed where Mrs Mather died. It was this circumstance that prompted police to make a further investigation.

They questioned the husband and a woman friend of the dead woman. Capt Daniel H. Doran and Lieut George W. Fallon learned that the woman had been despondent recently and had twice spoken of committing suicide. Dr Jones said that her temporary physical condition also contributed to the suicide theory.

There was some question as to whether the woman could have endured the wounds she suffered by shooting herself on the bed and then walked to the highboy, to hide the revolver, and back to the bed, where she was found. Garden Continued from the First Page sonality, the first Melisande in Debussys Pelleas and Melisande, the woman who has sung before kings and potentates, but, at the same time, one is also vividly aware that she is a regular fellow, a bubbly personality. Without a false note, she combines a rare quality of democracy and aristocracy. Somewhat in a daze was this reporter when he left Miss Garden. Her conversation had such a sweep, such an invigorating quality, that he felt as one coming out of a cold shower on a hot day.

And, Mary Garden, mind you, is getting along close to 60. 0 She is a living personification of the fact that a person is only as old as she feels. It was hard to believe that Miss Gardens era goes back to the turn of the century and beyond as one watched her dash about her room last night. This reporter, who remembers seeing her when he wore Lord Fauntleroy clothes felt a definite romantic thrill when with a burst like Carmen entering from the left, she fed him hors doeuvres with a toothpick. Has Only Loved Once Miss Gardens interview interspersed with amusing sidelights and commentaries brought forth the fact that there has been only one love affair in her life.

What about gettiig married, Miss Garden? was asked. Her rumored engagements and proposals of marriage have been page one news for 30 years. Now, youre getting personal, she laughed, with a merry twinkle and a flourish of her arms. The only man I ever loved and I o.ily loved one was an American, she said. She wouldnt tell his name and she wouldnt reveal any further details, but she did say that in her forthcoming book she will paint him in such colors that then youll know him perhaps.

This brought her into a discussion of marriage, from a more general viewpoint, because, she said, she has no intention of getting married, Men, as a rule, arent interesting enough, not even kings and princes, she said. In fact, kings princes, she has found, are rather dull companions. Unimpressed by Royalty Im not crazy about royalty, she said. I like democratic people. Best of all the kings and queens for whom she has sung she likes the King and Queen of Sweden, the ones who preceded the present rulers.

She never sang for the King of Spain when he was in power, but she would have liked to. It would have been fun, I think, she remarked. American men are very nice to their wives Ihey spoil them, spoil them something dreadful and I thifik its marvelous, she declared. Returning to her dislike for royalty, Miss Garden said that one of the things wrong with kings, with meeting kings, was that you had to curtsy before them. And why should I curtsy before any man unless he has done something worth while, like Marconi, now, for instance? she continued.

Id curtsy any day for Marconi for what he has done to link the world, for aiding humanity. I think its fascinating, rather. And when Miss Garden says rather she gives it that English flavor of rawther. Wants Bicycle This is the first time since the masterful operation performed by Dr Philemon E. Truesdale that Alyces temperature had dropped below the 100 mark.

While encouraging, such a condition has been declared by her doctors to be one upon which too much stress should not be placed. Her strength, rather than her temperature, had been made the supreme concern. Speaking in a light vein, her mother declared tonight, You know, Alyce Jane has received about five dollar bills today in her mail. When I asked her what she would like to do with this little fortune, she said: 'Mother, please put it on a bicycle so that I can go riding when I get out. MENTON, France, March 8 (A.

Mr and Mrs Enzo Fiermonte came to France today, saying their domestic troubles are all settled. We have decided never to discuss them again, said the former Madeline Force Astor Dick. There will be no more discussions about boxing in this family, she added, revealing that her handsome Italian pugilist husband had agreed to give up all his 'ring aspirations to stay by her side. Mrs Fiermonte, who was confined to bed with a heavy cold, deprecated misunderstandings concerning their stay in Italy. There was never any trouble about my husbands first wife, for that was all settled before we ever left America, sh said.

ERNEST BENSHIMOL WINS SCHOOL SUIT I Middlesex Probate Judgo Decides in His Favor See Threat to Nation With some observers expressing the opinion that the strike' movement threatened the entire political, educational and commercial structure of the island, the Administration faced this situation: The situation which confronted the Government, giving officials cause for admitted concern, was this: 1. All but two Government departments partially or completely paralyzed by walkouts.

2. Nearly 400,000 schoolteachers and students out of classrooms lead ing the movement for Mendietas overthrow. 3. Street car traffic in Havana almost completely stopped. 4.

Newspaper publication virtually suspended by strikes of employes protesting Government censorship. 5. Emergency hospital and first aid stations functioning in makeshift style because workers were out. 6. No customs or tax collections because of the strike in the Treasury Department.

7. Port traffic seriously hampered by the strike of customs inspectors. 8. The Postoffice closed, no mail moving in or out of Cuba and none moving on the island. No Government telegraph office was operating.

Friends of Supt Martin H. King end the four deputy superintendents, whose present obs are in jeopardy, rallied to their defense yesterday, but there appeared little likelihood that the plans of Commissioner Eugene M. McSweeney to surround himself with superintendents of his own choice could be blocked. The legislative bill that would give the officers Civil Service protection were held by the State Senate yesterday and probably will not be reenacted until Gov Curley gives the word. By that time, it is expected, the changes in the police personnel will have been made.

The Commissioner yesterday refused to divulge his plans, but did roUdeny the changes will be made. He said he had not definitely made up his mind as to how he will proceed, and added that he has not considered the deputies individually. He was indignant when asked if the wishes of Gov Curley would influence his action. Absolutely not. he answered.

The situation stands just as it was the day when he swore me into office and told me that I need answer only to my God and my conscience. The Commissioner revealed his hostility to the bills placing the superior officers under Civil Service regulations, declaring that he was watching them. Asked if he favored them, he smiled and commented, Those bills are not my babies. Friends of the officers in question called at Police Headquarters yesterday, but no comment was forthcoming from any quarter. The possibility of one or more of the deputies retiring, rather than accept demotion to captain, was discussed yesterday by police observers but not by the officers themselves.

It appeared that Supt King will remain in his position until he reaches the retirement age in October. Members of the Police Department were astounded when they learned cf developments yesterday. The four deputies, James McDevitt, John M. Anderson, James R. Claflin and William W.

Livingston, are popular with the rank and file of the department. Deputy McDevitt has long been the man called upon to lead a clean up of conditions. At present he isin charge of the drive against gambling places. Pr Claude M. Fuess, headmaster of Phillips Academy at Andover, caused uproarious laughter last evening at the annual dinner of the Williams College Alumni Association of Boston by remarking casually, I know Williams was the mother of Amherst, but Williams nearly died in childbirth and she then tried to smother the child by joining with Harvard in an effort to prevent the granting of a charter to Amherst.

Dr Fuess explained it was more than 100 years ago the episode took place. Amherst, struggling for its life, went into politics and secured its charter by defeating Harrison Gray Otis for Governor and electing Gov Eustis. The dinner at the University Club was attended by about 125 alumni. Charles M. Davenport presided.

Ex-Gov Ely, 02. honorary president, was at the head table. Dr Tyler Dennett, Williams, 04, new president of that college, told of the need of strict economy of administration on account of shrunken income. The 1934 deficit was about $7000 and he expected a similar one this The rah rah boys are gradually disappearing tram colleges, he said, and they are seriously considering what colleges they ought to go to in order to get the proper education. He deprecated pushing boys into college when they are not fit for it The present enrollment at Williams is about 750, he said, and he believes it will be a little higher next year.

Low scholarship had been responsible for the loss of 18 students. He considered it damaging to a college to drop many by the way. High school boys have a better chance, four to one, compared with those from private schools, in getting the best rank in college, Dr Dennett said. The doctor announced that hereafter the college administration will spend no money it has not got, and that the faculty will be expected to take some responsibility in the administration. He said there would be no more salary reductions.

The 1934 board of officers was reelected, save that Arthur J. Santry, 09, Boston lawyer, became president and Charles M. Cutler, 21, andBen-jamin Langmaid, football star, were added to the executive committee. Death Due to Bleeding After performing an autopsy, late tonight. Dr Jones said that it would have been possible for the woman to have walked about for five minutes before she died.

He explained the bullet did not strike the heart and that the hemmorhage which caused her death was internal. Mrs Mather wore only underwear and a fur-trimmed coat when she was found on the bed. Neighbors of the Mathers said they were a happy couple. They came to Quincy from Pennsylvania about two years ago and made their home in a new house off Theresa road. They have no children.

Her husband found the body at 12:05 and she was pronounced dead on arrival at the Quincy City Hospital, where she was taken in the police ambulance. ROONEY SCHOOL ALUMNAE BRIDGE AND FASHION SHOW The silver anniversary of the founding of the Mary Frances Rooney School Association was observed last night with a bridge party reunion and fashion show, attended by members of the school, alumnae and friends at the Hotel Vendome. About 600 were present. Mrs Mary Comerford of Belmont was general chairman. The alumnae officers, Miss Mary Lundy, president, Miss Irene Ryan, secretary, Miss Elizabeth McNamee, treasurer, were assisted in receiving the guests by the Misses Ruth Taylor, Margaret Mc-Elroy, Alice Joyce, Mary Quinn, Veronica Downey, Margaret Harrington and Cecile Carroll.

Miss Margaret McDonald had charge of favors, Miss Ann Comerford of music and Mrs John Finn of the ushers. Alumnae acted as models. Judge John C. Leggat In Middlesex Probate Court handed down a decree yesterday to the effect that the assets of the New Preparatory School, and bankbooks involved, are the property of Ernest Bcnshimol, Cambridge, son of the late Max Ber-shimol, tutor of Harvard students and founder of the school. The decree was on a petition to determine title brought by the son, whose claim was contested by his sister, Mrs Harriet Bennett, of Arlington.

Mrs Bennett contended that h- brother used undue influence to pa control of tho school and a school fund of $38,000 before their father's death last May. The matter was ie-cently heard by Judge Leggat. Labor Groups Approve As the islands two largest labor groups, the National Confederation of Labor and the National Federation of Labor Unions, decided to support the general strike movement in principle, although without setting any date, the Government strove to get customs and internal revenue offices functioning again. A bomb explosion in Cardenas today killed Delfin Acosta, chief of police, while at MatanzaS, capital of the province of that name, the home of the military supervisor was attacked. Fourteen bombs exploded in Havana and its environs during the night, damaging the Havana Courthouse and police stations, while seven went off at interior points.

Four Havana newspapers, El Mun-do, Nacion, Ahora and La Palabra, said they had been ordered by police to suspend publication. CHILDREN ENCOURAGED BY ALYCES BRAVE FIGHT Children suffering from diseases or other afflictions requiring careful attention and staying in bed for long periods of time are following the case of little Alyce Jane McHenry in Fall River with intense interest. Alyce may not know it, but she Is by her example helping many other youngsters bear up in their own long battle for recovery. Reading about her in the newspapers they feel somewhat of a kinship, but even more than that, they are, because of the cheerfulness and courage shown by the little girl, themselves being helped. In the words of Miss Elizabeth Bissell, general secretary of th Childrens Mission, which is looking after the welfare of 158 youngsters, most of whom are convalescing either from heart disease or operations, learning the lesson of taking it on the chin.

The social workers are also finding. Miss Bissell said yesterday, that some of the children are sending notes of encouragement to her. Others are sending small gifts they have made with their own hands. Take Tom Kenney for example. Tom lives with his parents on the fifth floor of a building on Joy st.

Twelve years old, he has dfeen sick off and on now since he was 4. Tom, seen yesterday afternoon, Is followipg developments with keen interest. He knows what confinement and suffering means. He spent four months at a hospital for treatment of both scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. He expressed his 'admiration of (he courage the girl is showing.

I hope shell get better, was his simple but heartfelt comment. In this sincere wish, he was not alone. Toms little blonde sister, Ann, 7 years old, was not going to remain unheard on such an important matter. Herself confined to her home with the grippe, she said between the barks of Scamp, the childrens pet dog, We are all praying for her. And that meant two other little Jean.

The hall was transformed into a ballroom with the addition of boxes and the use of smilax in great profusion. More than 700 couples danced there from 10 oclock on while a kaleidoscope of colored lights played over their heads. Many Massachusetts girls were among those present at the prom.

Miss Gardens slim figure is one of her greatest prides. She vweighs under 125 pounds, and its worth all the trouble it takes, she says. Geraldine Farrar and myself we always kept our figures and who else? she asks, with an impressive shrug. In her personality, in her attitude toward life, she is as eve. forward looking.

Id rather have it said what Im going to do, instead of what I have done, she says with emphasis. Thats why I dont worry about what the critics say, -Why I never have worried. What difference does it make? They cant change my art.1 Miss Garden is in Boston for a lecture recital next Monday evening at the Copley Plaza. She will sing a program of songs and arias, discuss Claude Debussy, with whom she was long associated, reveal significant incidents in her career, and tell of the tragedy and triumphs of operatic life; MISSING BOY, 7, FOUND MURDERED YPSILANTI, Mich. March 8 (A.

The slashed and bruised body of 7-ycar-old Richard Streicher Jr, believed by police the victim of a morons attack, was found today stuffed beneath a park foot bridge. The child had been missing since Thursday afternoon. While police and volunteer searchers hunted along the banks of the Huron River for a trace of him. a 13-year-old boy, Buck Holt, discovered the body. Coroner David M.

Robb, who examined it, said the boy had been stabbed 10 times about tho head and chest. One of the thrusts penetrated the heart, he said. After a search of the island park, officers said they were convinced the child had been slain elsewhere and the body brought to the park. A posse of officers searched the park without finding evidence of a struggle. No bloodstains were found near the body, they said.

Richard returned from school Thursday afternoon and then went out to play, his father, a wealthy tool and die company official, told officers. When a search of the neighborhood failed to locate him the father called in police. Coroner Robb said his examination showed the boy had been dead for several hours, probably since last night. He was fully clothed, and wore an aviation type helmet, through which he had been stabbed several times in the head. MORGENTHAU SEEKS NEW SMUGGLING LAW WASHINGTON, March 8 (A P.i Legislation which he hopes will strengthen International control over serious and troublesome" smuggling and thus save the United States a year was asked of Congress today by Secretary Morgenthau.

The Treasury chief thought the new legislation might do away with the INCREASED PLACEMENTS BY STATE EMPLOYMENT OFFICE The number of persons employed through the Boston office of the Massachusetts State Employment Service during February showed a slight in crease over those employed during January, Supt Everett L. Hanna announced yesterday. The service obtained work for a total of 279 men and women last month. In January 266 were placed. In February, last year, the office secured jobs for 119 more persons than during the same month this year.

Supt Hanna said there had been a consistent demand for toolmakers, diemakers, metal planer hands and specialty machinists, also a greater demand for tin knockers, welders, first and second class engineers, and shoe and textile workers. HOME OWNERS LOAN BILL SCOPE MEASURED WASHINGTON, March 8- (A. P. The House headed off today sturdy efforts to pour extra billions into a fund to ease home mortgage burdens, but only after th Banking Committee was compelled to compromise on a $1,750,000,000 increase in projected funds for the Home Owners Loan Corporation. This figure is $250,000,000 higher than that originally in the bill.

The committee was forced also to grant access to the loan fund by per-Eons applying for aid within 60 days of enactment This was a concession from the plan to use new funds only for filling applications already made. The House decided to wait until tomorrow to shove the bill through to f.ral passage. Efforts to write In more money ran all the way to $3,000,000,000. All were defeated by substantial margins. As the measure stands, it would permit the H.

O. L. C. to Issue bonds in an aggregate amount of $4,750,000,000.
