Raiford was the official representative of the Alabama Press Association. The state associations held separate and joint meetings.

Price of admission will be 10 cents in the afternoon and 25 cents at night. STATE MEET EXCHANGE CLUB HERE THURSDAY (Font limed lyom Page One) Do you wish to make bond, the commissioner inquired.

I haven't a chance to make any bond," Sawyer replied with a half grin. Prompt Transfer Pledged You will be removed to St. Paul as quickly as possible, Carter told Sawyer as a brace of federal agents, heavily armed, started their prisoner to-the federal jail. It was explained that Sawyer cannet be removed until his Indictment is received here. Commissioner Carter said it had been mailed at St.

Paul this morning and should' reach here within the r' 4T next day or so. Sawyers capture resulted from information given department of justice agents by two Harrison County, peace officers, Wil- liam Sifnpson, a deputy sheriff, and A. C. De Mertz, Pass Christian motorcycle officer. Simpson and De Mert? reported to federal operatives here that Sawyer appeared on the Mississippi gulf coast last November as a perfect stranger.

They said he established a home for his wife and himself at Long Beach and soon attracted attention by his lavish spending. Some months later he erected a frame structure which he converted into a negro gambling and dance hall. The hall was operated under the names of two local persons, but the backing, officers said, came directly from Sawyer. With this Information, McGee assigned agents to "shadow Sawyer. He was easily identified, McGee said, by a smashed forefinger on his left hand and through photographs.

The only material difference in Sawyers appearance from the last time he was photographed was a 45 pound gain in weight. With three operatives, McGee swooped down on Sawyer as he was seated, coatless and hatless, in his car. He offered no resistance. Sawyer arrest, according to department of justice records, reduced to three the number of alleged chief conspirators In the Bremer abduction still at large. They are Alvin Karpis, sought as the ringleader of the kidnap gang, Harry Campbell and Volney Davis.

(Continued from Page One) for absolute secrecy when the couple appeared here to be married by Judge W. M. Vaughan. The marriage came as the culmination of a romance which started when Dr. McClung went to the Rose Bowl games and met the motion picture actress.

The actress was married under her own name, Virginia Reid Sampson. Her birthplace was given as Lexington and her present residence California Dr. McClung was born in DeKalb county, according to the records, and his occupation was given as a dentist, residence, Birmingham. The bride's mother, Mrs. R.

J. Sampson and sister, Miss Marjorie Reid accompanied the couple to Selma. The three were visiting Dr. McClung at the time, the engagement of the dentist to Miss Reid having been previously announced. During the period of Miss Reid's visit Alabama the picture Roberta in which she appeared, was billed In Selma and a number of other motion picture houses.

Con tinned from Page One) The sentiment of the committee was voiced before the recess when it unanimously killed the Hanks bill to increase the pay of the members by providing week-end mileage. The Arnold bill would make lump appropriation of $300 daily to be prorated by the senate secretary and house clerk to the members to cover expenses. Diret Pay Avoided Like the Hanks bill it avoided a direct appropriation to Individual members for expenses since the Alabama supreme court has ruled that this plan is unconstitutional. The many and varied tax measures Introduced last week will come before the house ways and means committee at 10 a. m.

Wednesday for the first in a long series of public hearings. The house where all tax measures originate saws bills pour over the till calling for a general sales tax of three per cent, specified taxes against natural gas, bottled soft drinks, amusements and olemargarine products, and three measures for cheaper license tags. The first, by Representative Wallace of Clarke, provided a 80 per cent cut in October 1935, and a 40 per cent cut in October, 1936. The second, by Representative Dan Cook of Wilcox, called for a flat $5 tag, and the third plan for a 20 per ceht cut was included in the general revenue bill Introduced by Representative Harrison of Marengo. General Revenue BUI The general revenue "bill, 620 pages long, will be printed and placed on house desks for study early next week.

Drafted to defray the operating expenses of the state government for the next four years, it contains quite a number of tax increases. The license on chain stores was increased, especially on those chains of more than 20 stores. For every store above 20 in a chain, a license tax of $112.50 must be paid as compared with the existing tax of $75.50. Taxes also were provided for many new small businesses that have come into existence since the 1931 revenue act was adopted. Income taxes were hiked 50 per cent on the lower brackets, the excise tax on banks and competing financial institutions was increased from five per cent to six per cent, and a heavy license of $750 for the first week and $'250 for each additional week was levied against marathons of all kinds.

Telephone and Telegraph companies saw their $1 assessment a mile on lines Jumped to $1.50, and a new tax of $500 was provided for persons dealing in machine guns and tear gas bombs. Gaming Devices Taxed Slot machines, punchboards and tip boards although outlawed In Alabama by state law -were written down for substantial taxes.

It was placed on the aclendar for a final vote Tuesday but may not receive consideration on that day In view of the governors message. Delegations from retail merchant associations planned to wage war on the Coleman three per cent sales tax that was amended at the last minute to eliminate the original provision exempting the necessities of life." IIADER WINGET As.ooited Press Financial Writer Major" Industrial indices pointed downward last week, and retail trade was hampered in most sections by adverse weather. Each development was explained by analysis in terms of an economic movement, however, which was seen as temporary and not of long-term character.

Carloadings as the week opened were 8.5 per cent below the preceding week as a result of the post-Easter slump, an Increase in freight rates which had caused a pre-boost spurt and a following drop in shipments, and a lowering of coal production. Elecetric power production for the week ended April 27 was 0.3 of one per cent under the same week a year ago and also below the previous week, mostly because of reduced operations in the cotton textile industry, mines and some heavy industries. Sueji factors as the start in daylight saving time and a reduced need in some areas for power tb, pump irrigation water, all entered into the lower total. Steel production declined 1.6 percentage points to 43.1 per cent of capacity last week, with the lessened demanded from motor centers outstanding factor in the decline. A timid buying attitude was noted by other consumers who awaited the outcome of strike shut-downs at plants of General Motors corp.

Strike Effect Slight So far as the figures for automobile production itself was concerned, labor walk-outs had little effect. Cram's Reports, estimated production last week at 110,865 units against 110,970 for the previous week. The decline, although small, was the first since the production of 1935 models started In December of last year. Those in the industry explained that greater curtailment was balked because most assembly points had sufficient material on hand to continue output for normal requirements. While a seasonal decline into the doldrums of summer was anticipated about this time by most commentators, it was agreed that strike and shut-down effects would be more clearly ween in this weeks motor production figures unless an abrupt change in the labor situation occurs.

A Dumber Rise Helps Reacting against the downward trend was lumber production, which turned upward as demand for spring building broadened. Allied building lines also showed signs of the spring-summer revival. On the retail trade front, sales were cut in most sections by adverse weather last week just as during the week preceding Easter. Most merchants anticipated heavy buying at clearance sales, but reports so far show some There is strong evidence among merchants reports, however, that profits from the pent-up demand are expected shortly. Reports on business conditions In some of the individual federal reserve districts follow: New York -Variations in weather created a spotty condition in retail sales in the metropolitan New York section, but more out-of-town buyers were in the market than expected.

Mail orders for summer goods were reported increased as was business in wholesale grocery lines. Buffalo steel production declined to 27 per cent of capacity. Atlanta Retail and department store sales continued good in the district, with warm weather sending shoppers into stores In response to spring sales. Steel production was steady in the Birmingham area. St.

Louis Unfavorable weather held back retail business In rural areas of the St. Tfwiis trade district, and rains retarded planting of all Bpring crops creating some apprehension at the delay. Steel opera-tlnos dropped, wholesale trade was spotty, and local strikes curtailed employment, (Continued from Page One) the court, at its regular private meeting this afternoon, had opened a discussion of the Schechter live poultry code case. Court members gave no Sign as they filed into the session that would uphold either current speculation over a 6-4 decision in favor of NRA or predictions that it would be labeled unconstitutional. In either event, a quick decision would aid Congress.

Situation Faced This was the capitol situation into which some administration spokesmen believed a court decision would dovetail: The Senate planned to take up NRA extension as soon as it disposes of the pending bonus legislation. The resolution reported by its finance committee would extend the present NRA law until next April, with intra-state business exempt from cades and with price fixing banned save in mineral natural resources Industries. But in the House, NRA committee hearings had not even begun and leaders said they did not expect final action for tWo or three weeks. This program, they said, would enable them to take any corrective actions dictated by a court ruling. Also the House would be able to change the Senate resolution if it passes as now written -to provide for a two-year extension.

in this event one Senate leader predicted privately today that the Senate would acquiesce. Should the high court hold improper the delegation of authority to the President to prescribe codes governing wages and hours, there was much sentiment in Congress for statutory enactment of such "provisions through the Black 30-hour week bill or a more moderate measure. Despite the many ifs" surrounding all predictions of Supreme Court decisions, the NRA possibilities were food for the most speculation in "Washington since the tense days of the gold cases. Govt Weapons Used One thing was certain the government had chosen its own weapons for the duel over NRAs validity. It had withdrawn the Belcher case, involving the lumber code.

It had passed over scores of other NRA decisions in lower courts, only to request an immediate ruling in the Schechter chicken case. Some observers looked for another split decision by the court. Recalling the five-four lineup in the gold cases, they noted that the most critical questions during the Schechter arguments were addressed by the so-called McReynolds, Van Deventer, Sutherland, nd Butler. One of the liberal; Justice Stone, also made several queries, but it was remembered that in the gold case arguments, he has asked numerous questions considered by some as critical, onljr to side with the majority in upholding the government. The liberals veteran Brandeis, asked one or two seemingly innocuous questions, while Chief Justice Hughes, and Associate Justices Roberts and Cardozo, all in the "liberal" alignment on the gold cases, refrained from questioning ufflfig' the Schechter arguments.

The outcome wrote new derby history. Omaha is the third son of a darby winner to capture the blue ribbon prize of old Kentucky, but the span of fife years in which the latest father and son victory has been achieved is a. new record, Seven years separated the first pair, Halma in 1395 and Alan-A-Dale in 1902.

Nellie Bumped Around Nellie would have returned only $3.80 on the dollar if she had shown the way home to her gentleman rivals, but she was never able to gain a contending position after being bumped around impolitely at the start.

It was no day for ceremony, anyway, and the colts showed no disposition to adopt chivalrous methods and See Nellie Home" the way they did the fillys dam, Nellie Morse, in the 1924 Proakness Nellie Flag suffered sharp interference from Plat Eye carrying the colors of Mrs. Payne Whitneys Greentree stable, soon after the starti.as the big field seemed almost to converge, funnel like, for the first run down the stretch.

It was then too late for Nellie to do anything about the situation, with Omaha, winging along fully seven lengths in front of her, hut she finished gamely to land the last money position. Whether or not Today suffered the effects of his foot injury, the result of either kicking or stepping on some object in yesterday's workout, tho ill-fated Whitney entry never showed anything like the form that carried him to triumph a week ago in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica track.

FILM NOTABLES IN WRECK FATAL FOR 4 PERSONS (Coni limed from rage One) He was taken by a passing motorist to tlie grocery store at Pine Valles and treated there by a local physician. Another phySi dan was believed on route by -plane frntu Burbank with the young actors mother. Patricia Ellis, film star who was at first believed to have been in the Coogan party, also accompanied Mrs. Coogan.

Jackie told iu. E. McGee, the motorist who drugged hint from the wreckage of the Coogan car, that the accident happened when they were forced from the road by a passing machine. Tlie Coogan car, he said, crashed into a pile of rocks, rolled over four times and came to rest right side up. Victims Killed Outright John Coogan, a former vaudeville headliner, Durkin, Horner and Jones apparently were killed outright.

Tlie bodies of the Durkin boy and the elder Coogan hurtled from the car in its flight, while those of the others were, pinned in the wreckage. Durkin was Lorn in New York City in 1915. His last screen appearance was in "Little Durkir Cdwards, his stage debut at the age of 2 1-2 yeamas cupid in Some Night, a musioai comedy. At the age of 5 he played theson of an Indian girl in a revival of "The Squaw Man. He later appeared In the Itage New Death Charge Fared By Doctor (Continued from Page One) the physician was based on the death of Mrs.

Doris Jseies, 20, the mother of two children. Two Other Deaths Holbird said his Investigation had disclosed two additional deaths of young women from illegal operations. He said more charges w6uld be filed. The prosecutor portrayed the 55-year-old bachelor physician ana philanthropist as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde, in a formal statement criticizing Dr, H. G. Bennett, president of Oklahoma A. and M. College for rallying to the doctors defense.

A benefactor to whom scores of young men owe their education, the country doctor was supported today by hundreds of his fellow townsfolk of nearby Garber. They came to his aid with petitions of praise. They raised (1,008 for his defense. County Attorney Holbird. however; declared the doctors frisi.ds did not know '-all the angles to this case.

He said the iiivestiga-tlon was being continued. I know Tor. Bennett does not approve of Illegal medical practice and certainly he cannot condone it when there are deadly results, regardless of the use to which the money is put, Holbird said. Dr, Bennett had said: If I should be called as a character witness, I would say Dr. Brewer was as kind and as gentle a man as I ever met.

I believe you will see a student uprising on the campus such as you never saw before when Dr. Brewers plight becomes known. I cannot conceive of Dr. Brewer violating any law. I knew him as a kindly generous country doctor who gave all he ever earned to worthy students.

Governor Backs Probe A secret investigation which preceded the filing of the charge against Dr. Brewer bore the stamp of gubernatorial approval. Lieut. Robert Huston, special investigator for Governor E- Mariand, cooperated closely with Holbird in the investigation. "While at the outset the governor termed the case one of the most bizzare I have ever known, he refused later to discuss It.

Today the Only persons Dr. Brewer would! see in his cell were his boys and the well-wishing friends whom the little town of Garber, east of here for 21 years he has lived the quiet, retiring life of a rural physician eccentric, according to his friends, only that he spent all his money on others, none for himself. FOES OF BONUS PLAN STRATEGY (Continued from Page One) Legion sponsored Vinson measure, providing for payment of the certificates out of ordinary revenues. Jam of Legislation Back of the bonus measure, a log jam of administration legislation is pending in Senate. Democratic chiefs, with Congress in its fifth month and with only one major Roosevelt measure relief enacted, appeared anxious today to get rid of the bonus proposition.

They predicted, however, a veto of the Patman bill would be sustained in the Senate. But they were doubtful whether they could uphold a veto of the more conservative Vinson measure. For that reason, they were considering throwing their strength to the inflationary bill as a strategic move. Republican leaders, who are supporting the Vinson plan, flatly predicted it could be passed over a veto. Once the veterans issue Is out of the way, administration leaders said, Congress would get to work cn the legislative program recommended by the president.

They plan to call up the vital NRA extension resolution immediately after- past4cof the bonus, probably Tuesday or -Wednesday. Monday, the Senate finance committee wilt begin work in executive session on the big social security bill, which next to NRA legislation is considered by Democrats the sessions most essential piece of legislation. General debate on the highly controversial omnibus bank bill was concluded In the House today and tlie measure will be taken up Wednesday for amendments and final action, it faced further long hearings, however, on the Senate side. Substitution: Vote Set When the Senate meets Monday it will face a vote on substituting the Vinson bonus bill for the Harrison compromise which was only averted by leaders yesterday with a sudden adjournment to give them a ehance to reform their lines. Despite the administration effort to rally support for the compromise, check ups today indicated the Vinson measure would win easily.

Then it will face a test with the Patman bill. Senate sentiment generally was believed to favor the Vinson bill, but the administration could swing enough votes to the Patman measure as a strategical move, to put It over to force a veto. House leaders said today that regardless of which bill tlie Senate passed! their branch probably would go along. It has been conceded throughout that there were enough votes in the House to pass a cash payment bill over a veto. Speaker Byrns said "If the Senate approves the Vinson bill, I ex- HOLLYWOOD, May 4 () Virginia Reid, blonde actress of the R.K.O.

POINTS OF LAW" BAR TO RELIEF (Continued from Page One) carry out their duties. Definite figures to show the amount to which each state would be entitled under complicated formular laid down for distribution of funds for highway and grade crossing elimination work. Pending development pf these questions and a wide variety of policies still to be laid down, most officials shut themselves into their offices to work. Morris L.

Cooks, head of the rural electrification division, paused long enough today to outline a few of the objectives of his section. They called for: Building 000 miles of powerlines to give electricity to from 750,000 to 1,000,000 farm homes; giving an outlet for the power generated at federal plants in the Tennessee valley, at Boulder dam, grind Coulee, Bonneville, Fort Peck and elsewhere; making the projects pay for them, selves in 20 years and keeping them out of private competition so far as possible. Among policies under consideration by President Roosevelt and his works triumvirate of Secretary Ickes, Frank C. "Walker and Hhrry L. Hopkins, were the problems of how hard and fast a rule could be laid down to govern loans and grants cn non-federal projects, what the terms should be for the loans and how far the government might go in prescribing a system that would bring back most of the money.

Hopkins and his aides also studied the question of fixing wages for different sections of the country. The principle that has been laid down is that a security wage would be paid enough to give the worker the necessities of life.

Various platform planks were proposed but none adopted and the selection of a name also was deferred although several speakers urged the labels Progressive, Farmer-Labor and "Liberal, at the same time, one delegate said, the conference had no time for Communism or Fascism but it whs suggested that Socialists be urged to unite with the movement. Senate Liberals Absent Although six House members attended the conference, none of the Senate Liberal bloc was present.

Senators Nye (R-ND) and LaFol-lette (Prog-Wis) who have bien mentioned as possible third party candidates were notably absent, as was Senator Long (D-La) who was TtSl'Invited. The meeting, which broke up late, followed repercussions from backers of both sides of the controversy between President Roosevelt and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The chief executive's tilt with the Chamber assumed the guise of a 1936 campaign issue when Representative Snell of New York, the House Republican leader, challenged his assertion that the Chambers criticism of New Deal policy did not represent the thought of business men generally. Snell, chairman of the G. O.

P-convention in 1932, said the president's statement was absolutely unfair in claiming that the membership of the Chamber did not represent the attitude of business men. On the other side, Edward A. Fi-lene, of Boston, a member of the executive committee of the International Chamber of Commerce, charged the United States Chamber of Commerce with being lacking in constructive planning. He disclosed that In March this year he had disapproved of the Chamber leadership acting without plans and without reason and withdrew a special contribution he had been making to the organization for years. "I am one of many businessmen opposed to many of the resolutions passed by the United States Chamber of Commerce," Filene said.

I cannot think of anything which can, avert dlstfster except an immediate rally on the part of business for positive support of the presidents recovery program." (Continued from Page One) Dr. Thigpen pointed to the 1932 cut of 4 2 per cent in the Health Department's appropriation, and argued that a further reduction would make an efficient health unit impossible. His statement follows: "If the legislature Is unwilling to pay heed to the advice and reasonable requests suggested by the agency created by law to shoulder this responsibility (safeguarding of public health) then, in my opinion, as your president, the time has come for this association to relinquish this responsibility placed upon it by law. "Our state health officer, at the rpcent anrtual meeting in Mobile, outlined to the Association in His annual report, the difficulties and vicissitudes through which the Health Department has passed because of the state's dreadful financial plight and exptessed great hope that the damage done, because of the drastic curtailment of his funds, might gradually be repaired. He based thl hope upon the grtfunds that, month, the amounts actually made available for health work were showing substantial increases, Dr.

Thigpen said. "And yet, in the face of these encouraging facts that the states revenue continues to show improvement, the recess committee on finance and taxation, on the first day of the reconvening of the legislature, submitted its recommendations for appropriations for the various departments of state for the ensuing quadrennium. In this committee's report some departments were substantially stepped up; some were not altered; while the appropriation to the health department was further cut (it having already been reduced 42 per cent) by (125,000 annually, leaving but (275,000 for all health activities including the state subsidy to counties for local health work.
