T. Hartman, of that place, last evening following an illness of several months. Mr. Busier was born in Freeburg 85 years ago and celebrated his last birthday on Thursday of last week. He was a printer by occupation and worked for many years on a Freeburg newspaper.

During his recent years he was engaged in the manufacture of rubber stamps. He was well known in this city and frequently visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hartman, on North Orange Street left, seething with anger. The Ericsson Telephone Company, whose workers are affiliated with i the semi-conservative general union of workers, arranged a special connection to New York and then could not find Trotsky, even with police cooperation.

Trotsky had gone back to the Coyoacan villa, with his wife and two secretaries and an escort of one police motor car and two police motorcycle-side cars. Both angry and dejected, after a first rage so great that he was almost unahle to talk, Trotsky would not comment but his secretary brought word that he would make a statement later. Strong police guards were set about the Vila and would permit no one without credentials to approach within several blocks. Owlett Rebuffed By State Senate (Continued from page one) very liberties upon which our nation was founded." Senator Harry Shapiro, Democrat, Philadelphia, questioning Owlett, pointed out that Congress has authority to designate the number of justices the court shall have. Several other members of the Sen ate Democratic majority came to the defense of the President's proposal.

Senator Edward J. Thompson, Democrat, Centre, accused the Republican Party of plunging the Supreme Court into politics, packing it for the benefit of big utility companies. He said former Chief Justice John Marshall, lauded by Owlett, was the "No. 1 political ward heeler for the Federalist Party in Virginia" prior to his appointment to the high tribunal. "Marshall personally acquitted Aaron Burr of treason proven against him because he wanted to use Burr to defeat Thomas Jefferson," Thompson charged.

"We place ourselves in a ridiculous position as a party," Shapiro told the Senate, "if we say we need more time to consider this resolution in committee, when we have already discussed it with the people and received the public's verdict at the polls. "Although millions of people have spoken the remaining survivors of the war of resentment, who do not even represent a minority, charge the people have elected a packed Congress and that the President is trying to pack the Supreme Court. "Right here we have witnessed in the past a packed Legislature and packed committees and if anyone protested he was ostracized." Senator Charles H. Ealy, Republican, Somerset, objected to the President's contention judges should retire at u. "Some of our best judges have done some of their best work after they were 70," Ealy said.

"John Marshall served on the court until he was 80." WPA ERADICATES SQUIRRELS MERCED, Cal.

Loyalists Reported Ready for Armistice i i i i i i i 'New Economy TROUSERS PLAY PART IN TRIAL State Uses Clothing Found Incinerator as Eridence. in NEW YORK, Feb. 10 OJ.R) Blood-stained trousers found in the Incinerator of the apartment building in which Mrs.

Mary Harriet Case, pretty bride of a year, was beaten and strangled to death, were identified in Queens County court today as the property of Major Green, Negro porter on trial for his life. The brown trousers were held up before a crowded courtroom as an important item in the circumstantial evidence by which the state is attempting to prove that Green entered the Case apartment last Jan uary 11 bent on robbery and killed the Skidmore College graduate when she discovered him. Harry Monroe, a clothing salesman, identified the dark-splotched pants as part of a suit he sold to Ernest D. Hutton, of the Jackson Heights Bachelors' Club, which had headquarters in the building in which the Cases lived. Green was an employe in the club.

Hutton then hammered home an important state point by testifying that he gave the entire suit, with two pairs of thousers, to Green. The jacket and the other pair of pants were found in Green's locker in the club. Detectives Simon Holleran and Thomas J. Ccote described a hammer, two purses belonging to Mrs. Case and other state exhibits found in the incinerator.

R. Seeks Quick Action on Plan rrnntinued from page one) The President scheduled also two afternoon conferences on the ju diclary Questions. He arranged to meet at 3:00 p. m. with Senators Matthew M.

Neely, W. Pat McCarran, George McGill, Carl A. Hatch, N. and James H. Hughes, Del.

These are all members of the senate judiciary committee. Several of them have indicated coolness to the President's plans. At 4:00 p. m. Mr.

Roosevelt will continue his judicial discussions with Senator M. M. Logan, another senate judiciary committee member. The Whit House did not reveal details of the conference with Stun ners but it was presumed that Mr. Roosevelt went over the two Stunners bills coming up in the house today.

One of these provides voluntary retirement at full pay of supreme court justices at the age of 70. The other permits the government to intervene in federal cases involving constitutional issues and provides direct appeal to the supreme court of such matters. Representative Maury Maverick, house liberal bloc leader, said he had received a series of telegrams Indicating organized opposition from some common source to the Judicial proposal. He said he would take his charges to the house floor, Sumners said after his White House conference that Mr. Roosevelt favored both of the Sumners judicial bills and had no objection to bringing the measures before the house today.

The committee 20 minutes later approved Sumners' decision to bring up his two bills today. Sumners said he "anticipated passage of both measures before adjournment." Leaders predicted, however, that if final action is obtained on both measures it was possible the house might have to remain in session until well into the night. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 CU.R) The House plunged into debate over President Roosevelt's judiciary reorganisation plan today with opponents charging it would lead the national toward -Fascism.

"that not less than 165,000 people, or approximately 40,000 have left the section since 1930.

3. Inaugurate a 10-year program of additional government surveys to determine the best use of farm and erazine land and waters, and study! climatic risks, irrigation projects, soil erosion work and proper size of farm ownership. 4. The government should purch ase lands within the territory, per haps 24,000,000 acres in range areas, "and distribute range rights in accordance with the objectives of general rehabilitation." Land might be leased to cooperative grazing associations. 5.

Undersized farms should be expanded through two possible means: Easing of credit, and lease or sale of federal land. The government should operate demonstration farms. 6. All water from the section's scant rainfall should be held on the land and utilized through soil con servation, by growing grass and farm crops to resist drought. 7.

Since federal purchase of land would deprive local subdivisions of tax revenue, they should be compensated for their losses. 8. Destructive pests such as grasshoppers and crickets must be eradicated. Preventive efforts should be pushed through "intensive research and extensive complementary experiments." 9. The area's other resources should be developed.

President Roosevelt supported his committee in declaring that the task is not one for the government alone. Complementary action, he said, must be taken by states along these lines: 1. Each of the 10 states should push legislation relating to farm tenancy, leasing, taxing and tax delinquency to correct these economic liabilities. 2. States should zone land for its proper use as cities do now "to prevent permanent impairment of the land by unwise extension of cultivation during periods of supernormal rainfall or of exceptionally high prices." 3.

Cooperative grazing associations could be established as they are now in Montana, making pos-! sible operation of large tracts of land as single units. 4. Voters should be permitted to iorm soil conservation districts. The committee suggested adoption of a model law prepared by the Depart ment oi Agriculture, 5. States should avoid resale of tax delinquent range lands to priv ate individuals, making them available instead for use with other pub-lie lands for grazing districts.

t. communities could aid by reorganizing to reduce costs of roads, schools and other services without losing efficiency, 7. Taxation should be made more equitable, taking into consideration current or average income from land 8. States should aid farmers in developing local water supplies for stock through tax reductions. 9.

Ownership and permanent occupancy of land should be promoted. The Great Plains drought report went beyond federal and state participation in the rehabilitation program. For communities and individuals it suggested: 1. Shift planting to eleminate single "cash" crops such as wheat or cotton in favor of "balanced" farming. 2.

Create feed and seed reserves against dry years, made economical by using pit silos. 3. Conserve all soil moisture by contour plowing, terracing, leaving crop stubble in ground and planting clover and winter rye. 4. Plant trees and shrubs as windbreaks around fields and farm houses to stop dust storms.

The committee stressed the necessity for immediate government action by declaring "the steady progress which we have come to look for in American communities was beginning to reverse itself" in the drought area. The group presented a recapitula tion of all relief money spent in pril. 1933, and April, 1936.

10 (U.R) Leon Trotsky, in a speech read to 6,000 of his sympathizers at a meeting in the Hippodrome Theatre last night, volunteered to place himself in the hands of "GPU execut' ners" if an impartial commiission should find him guilty of the crimes charged against him in the recent Moscow "terror" trials. The crowd was disappointed because Trotsky'r own voice could not be heard by telephone from Mexico City where he is in exile. After waiting for an hour, while repeated attempts were made to contact Trotsky, Max Schachtman, editor of his writings, started reading his speech, completing it at 12 15 a. m. The meeting, sponsored by the committee in defense of Trotsky, had started at 10:00 p.

m. Calling the Moscow trials "conscious and premeditated frame-up," Trotsky's speech challenged tha "accusers of the Kremlin" to accept his proposition. He said he would not ask them to face death if the impartial commission cleared him. "The eternal disgrace in the memory of human generations will be sufficient for them," he declared. The former Russian war commissar was charged during the Moscow trials with having directed a plot against the lives of Joseph Stalin and other Soviet leaders and with conniving with Japan and Germany against the Soviet Union.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10 (U.R) Leon Trotsky's adherents charged today that pro-Moscow sabotage was responsible for failure of radio apparatus by which he was to broadcast a speech on the Moscow treason trial to a mass meeting in New York last night. Trotsky himself almost speechless with anger in the early hours of this morning after his vain effort to make his speech, promised to make a statement later. Diego Rivera, famous mural painter who is Trotsky's host in Mexico, voiced from his hospital sick bed a suspicion that members of the general Confederation of Labor, called the CTM, were responsible for the failure. Originally Trotsky was to have broadcast from Rivera's villa at the suburb of Coyoacan, where he is staying.

A special microphone was installed. It was arranged for Trotsky to be entirely alon in the room, while special guards patrolled outside. An International Telephone and Telegraph Company engineer in charge said that it was found that amplification was insufficient there and also that the acoustics of the room were bad. Trotsky then came downtown to the office of the Mexican Telephone Company, a subsidiary. There he was sent to a branch station where PINT 80c QUART No.

"Each has material interests at stake and can no longer afford to defer constructive action. "Each has moral responsibility for unwitting contributions to the cause of the present situation.

"And, especially, each has responsibility for undertaking lines of action essential to effectiveness of action by the others." Mr. Roosevelt's message said the problem created by the manner in which Great Plains settlers practiced agriculture was "not merely one of relief." "The report," he said, 'Indicates clearly that th problem of the Great Plains is not merely one of relief of a courageous and energetic people who have been stricken by several years of drought during a period of economic depression. It is much more fundamental than that. "Depression and drought have only accentuated a situation which has been long developing. "The problem is one of arresting the decline of an agricultural economy not adapted to the climatic conditions because of lack of information and understanding at the time of settlement, and of readjusting that economy in the light of later experience and of scientific information now available."

Lincoln Street, Shamokin, Pa. Telephone 799 0 General Franco, However, Insists on Unconditional Surrender. OUTSIDE MALAGA, Feb. 10 (U.R) A report was circulated among Nationalists today that the Loyalist government had sought an armistice but that General Francisco Franco, Nationalist dictator, insisted on unconditional surrender as the price of cessation of hostilities. (There have been similar reports from Nationalists after each victory of importance during the civil war.

News from the Loyalist side Indicated determination to fight to the end. Ed.) Nationalist authorities, still busy "mopping up" inside Malaga, asserted that 4,000 Loyalists had been arrested so far and it was estimated that eventually a total of between 10,000 and 20,000 would be seized. It was believed that about 15,000 Loyalist soldiers were in the mountains inland from Malaga, and Nationalists believed the majority would surrender as the alternative to starvation. The political and military importance of Malaga's capture was more apparent as the cleaning process continued. It was reported that Nationalists had bottled up the Loyalist fleet in Cartagena and Valencia on the east coast and that the Nationalist sea communications with Morocco, and Mediterranean commerce gen-, erally, had been freed from men ace.

Nationalists called their victory at Malaga a victory over Moscow on the ground that Malaga was the only strictly Communist-controlled city in Spain. Others are controlled by anarchists and syndicalists, where left front coalitions are now functioning. By the capture of Malaga, the Nationalists believe their way is clear to Granada, northeast of Malaga, and to Almeria province over at the southeast tip of the country. The main body of Loyalists was reported 20 miles east of Nationalists believed that the Loy alists must retreat further or risk beins cut off by Nationalists moving toward the sea from the Granada area.
