The battle for control of Kansas City's government, long dominated by Tom Pendergast before his im- is and how he is. For the census, more than all others ever taken, will deal with social and economic, as well as material, values. In Arizona, the census will employ some 400 enumerators who are required to have their job done within two weeks. There will be 62 enumerators in Phoenix.

In heavily populated areas, the territory assigned an enumerator may cover only a few city blocks. In sparsely settled areas, an enumerator's territory may cover many square miles. Problems Are Varied Many and varied are the problems that will confront them. For instance, the enumerator in the Salome district is faced with the necessity of driving some 25 miles to a ranch and from that point traveling via horseback another 10 or 12 miles to put his list of questions to three or four persons residing at an isolated mine. Near Blue, the enumerator will spend two weeks in the saddle to cover the 30 or more widely separated ranches in his district.

At McNary, no census workers were available because there are no unemployed persons residing there. Therefore, it was necessary to arrange for a resident of Springerville to handle this territory, with its population of about 1,200. Phoenix Growth Recognized The census bureau, D. Kelly Turner, area manager, announced yesterday, has recognized the fact that Phoenix has grown out of the 50,000 population class in which it Was placed in the last census, by 'authorizing the appointment here of two squad leaders who will be in the field and in close contact with enumerators.

Follow-Up Work Planned Hoping to make this the best and most thorough census ever taken here, Turner and other census cials conferred yesterday with representatives of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and of other civic groups on a plan of follow-up work intended to assure that no one is missed in the great nose-counting project. Boy Scouts and representatives of the other co-operating groups will comb the various districts after the enumerators have made their canvasses in an effort to locate anyone who might inadvertently have been missed.

The ruling was handed down In a foreclosure action brought by Charlotte Pouquette of Williams against Mary P. O'Brien of Wickenburg, who sought and was given an extension under the moratorium act by Maricopa County Superior Court. The act has been invalid since 1937, according to the court's unanimous decision, which was written by Justice Alfred C.

Lockwood. Implied Police Powers Its original validity. Justice Lockwood said, was based on powers implied by the federal constitution for states to exercise police powers in such matters during great public emergencies. Otherwise, he said it would impair the obligation of a contract in violation of both the federal and state constitutions. 'The existence of a public emergency justifying the suspension of the ordinary constitutional limitations," he said, "is primarily for the legislature, but the determination of that branch of the government is not conclusive, and whether a law depending upon the existence of an emergency ceases to operate because the emergency had ceased, is always open to judicial inquiry, notwithstanding the legislative declaration.

V. S- Court Cited "Again and again the court (U. S. Supreme Court) emphasizes the fact in varying language that in order to justify legislation like the mortgage moratorium acts there must exist a grave public emergency in the opinion, of both the legislative and judicial branches of the government, and that when, in the opinion of the latter, the mergency which justifies the act has passed, of necessity the moratorium ceases to be effective, or, as it may be more emphatically put, oecomes unconstitutional so far as future use is concerned." Justice Lockwood pointed out that in 1933 and 1935 the Arizona legislature declared a great public emergency in the title of the act, but that in 1937 and 1939 that declaration was dropped. "We think this action of the legislature is significant," he said.

'The very same reasoning which caused the Supreme Court of the United States to take judicial notice of the existence of the actual emergency in the nation in 1933 requires us to take judicial notice of its present condition." and inn Demanded 1 have hern it if conpi "ViS Senator smashed.

Roy Huddle today identified Pete Pianezzi, San Francisco ex-convict, as one of two gunmen who entered his Los Angeles cafe two years ago and shot down George (Les) Bruneman, gambler, in gangland fashion. Huddle testified in Superior Judge A.

Scott's court that he was seated in the cafe the night of October 25, 1937, when Pianezzi and an unidentified gunman burst into the room and began pumping bullets into Bruneman. Huddle said CAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 1 4,000 cases of "chiseling" on State Relief Administration rollshave been discovered through an investigation not yet compleled, Thomas Brown, a member of the state controller's office, told a legislative subcommittee today. Brown said 1,696 cases had been found in San Francisco, 2,186 in Alameda county and 1,430 in other counties from Monterey north to the Oregon line. He said the state so far has recovered $216,000 from "chiselers." Brown said further there are some 25,000 cases in the state controller's office under Investigation at the present time.

There has been a "substantial lowering" of such eases In the last several months, however, he said. In all the cases cited, Brown said, investigation showed the persons involved were not eligible for state relief. A typical example, he said, was a man who had been receiving relief was found to be the owner of a dairy and 35 cows. Another, a San Francisco fisherman, was granted relief, although he owned three fishing craft, according to Brown. v- I ISIS cLTlQ JciVtrV iJ'Uii .1 vi i otrilctlui iv, ai, UMUCIO jjn.u Kentucky, Democratic organization agoi ouri, declared that advocates of he was positive Pianezzi was one of ere fellow students at the! the McCarran amendment wanted the killers but was unable to iden- Layoffs ni'versity of Kansas, and for make the four products have been personal friends.

Gerhart defeated G. N. Johnston, former United Farmers of Alberta speaker in the legislature, who ran an independent. The final count was: Gerhart, Johnston, 1,964. Nineteen independents and one Labor -lominee also have been elected to the 57-seat legislature.

A fl Spouse Slays Wife, Two Men, Self InJMsbee Failure Of Pistol Saves Another Woman BISBEE, Apr. estranged wife and two men were shot and killed by Howard H. Trahern in an apartment house here early today, L. T.

Frazier, coroner reported, and the slayer then went to his home and ended his own life Trahern, a salesman, killed Mrs. Her Trahern, about 40 years old, a waitress, and Roy Sanders, about 45, a miner, by shooting them in the head as they slept Charles Cloud, 34, who occupied an adjoining apartment, was shot twice in the chest when he went to investigate the revolver reports. The coroner reported that a scuffle apparently occurred between Trahern and Cloud before the latter was shot. Mrs. Cloud, also attracted by the shots, said Trahern aimed the gun at her after shooting her husband, but the weapon failed to discharge.

Trahern then went to his apartment across the street, Frazier said, and shot himself in the heart just before officers, called by Mrs. Cloud, arrived. The weapon was clutched in his hand when his body was found. Trahern's 12-year-old daughter ran, screaming, from the apartment after her father ended his life. Mrs.

Trahern left her husband two weeks ago. Trahern had no fingers on his right hand, and only two fingers and a thumb on his left hand. He apparently held the gun with the two fingers and thumb, Frazier said, and operated the trigger with the palm of'his right hand. The shooting occurred at about 6 a. m.

Threatens New Party New Dealers, Republicans Assailed Crew Believes U-Boat Is Sunk HALIFAX, N. Apr. Crewmen of the British tanker El Ciervo expressed the belief today their ship had sunk a German submarine in a running fight off Trinidad. After 16 shots from the tanker's gun had been fired at the U-boat March 4,. the undersea craft disappeared, they said, and there were no further reports of a raiding submarim in that area.

(On March 4 Mackay Radio in New York picked up an SOS from the El Ciervo saying she was being "chased by a submarine" about 900 miles east of the Virgin Islands.) Stanley Washington, gunner, said he believed his gun crew had accounted for the Nazi submarine with all hands. The submarine came out of the sea just 40 yards away from the El Ciervo as she was 18 days out of Liverpool, heading for Trinidad. Tot Perpetrates Fool's Day Joke MILWAUKEE, Apr. Herbert Smith, 14 months old, toddled into the bathroom at his home and fumbled with the key until he had locked himself in. His mother pleaded in vain for Herbie to unlock the door, and then called the fire department.

The firemen arrived and divided into two groups, some knocking at the door, the others setting up a ladder to the bathroom window. As all this activity got under way, Herbie managed to open the door. Surrounded by bewildered firemen, he beamed and said: "Apwul pool." ONONGAH, W. Apr. John L.

Lewis today sounded a threat to organize labor, youth, old age, colored and farmers' groups into a third party unless Democrats adopt a platform and select a candidate "acceptable to labor and the common people." The outspoken president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations brusquely commented that "I don't expect anything of the Republicans" and charged the present administration "is curtailing the meager relief heretofore extended' to the unemployed. The militant leader of the United Mine Workers of America did not specifically mention a third party, but said unless the conditions he laid down were met by Democrats at their convention, he would call a convention of his own. presumably before the fall elections. Striking at those he said "secretly hope that America may be drawn nto the European war" and thus ifind the answer to the "economic and political questions that beset I the land," Lewis declared that such persons were "in for a fool's awakening." Alliance Planned He disclosed plans for a strong alliance between the American Youth Congress and the labor's Nonpartisan League, which Lewis organized, already have been "worked out and ratified." Declaring that in some southern states, "only 26 per cent of our population votes" and thaTSiOOO.OOO colored voters were disfranchisec in eight southern states because they do not have enough money to pay their poll tax," Lewis called pay their poll tax." Lewis called the poll tax "iniquitous" and said such a condition was "damnable." Will Address Group The bushy-haired labor leader announced plans to speak at a forthcoming meeting of the Townsend old age organization and to address conventions of the American Negro Congress and the American Society for the Advancement of Colored People. Asked after his address if he meant he intended to form a third party, Lewis parried all questions.

Pressed for an answer, he said: "We'll reserve that for later." The United Mine Workers president came to this northern West Virginia community, rich in bituminous coal, to speak at the annual miner's meeting celebrating the winning of the eight-hour day and the seven-hour day. New Deal Assailed Once one of President Roosevelt's strongest supporters, Lewis declared that the research department of the CIO now had placed the nation's unemployment total at 11,934.000 persons and roared: "Not a single, solitary suggestion is being made in America on how to provide Americans with work. "Far from settling the unemployment question, the existing administration is curtailing the meager relief heretofor extended to man and women out of work." British Seized Mail Arrives NEW YORK, Apr. American Clipper arrived here late today from Bermuda with 1,544 pounds of mail which had been seized last week by British censors from the Atlantic Clipper. The Atlantic Clipper had halted Bermuda because of shortening fuel supplies, since Pan American Airways last month omitted the island as a transatlantic port of call after published disclosures of seizure of U.

S. mail by British forces. The American Clipper is used as a shuttle, operating only between few York and service which has not been interrupted. On her arrival here, incidentally, she taxied to a pontoon pier at La- juardia Field, thus inaugurating nbound clipper flights at the field's marine terminal. Byrd Discovers New Lands )UNTA ARENAS, Chile, Apr.

(AP) Rear Eleven Die As Rivers QuitBanks Adm. Richard E. Byrd, commanding the United States governments Antarctic ex- (j 3 SO 11116 pedition, said upon arriving at this extreme Southern Chilean port today that his expedition had discovered lands not charted on existing maps. Bare earth and mountains without snow, Byrd said, were sighted during five flights over Antarctic regions. Byrd said he had that some regions which the British explorer, Sir Hubert Wilkins, had discovered and believed to be islands actually are a part of the Antarctic mainland.

The Byrd expedition, which reached Antarctica in January to begin surveys and observations which may extend into several years, earlier had reported reaching and mapping the long-s ought Pacific coast of Antarctica. Admiral Byrd, who is on his way back to the United States, said that the expedition flagship Bear, on which he reached, here today, had gone through a storm off Cape Horn which was the worst he ever had seen In his expierence as a sailor. The Bear was expected to remain here for several days making repairs. Aboard are Argentine and Chilean naval officers, guests of the United States government on the expeditfon, returning to Valparaiso, Chile. Winter Pays Return Visit To Arizona Snow And Rain Fal; Over Wide Area In State (By Associated Press) WINTER paid a return visit to Arizona yesterday and last night bringing heavy snowstorms in the northern section of the state and rain and dropping temperatures to other districts.

Snow totaling six inches was reported for McNary, Showlow and Flagstaff. Prescott, Grand Canyon and parts of Mohave county experienced lighter snowstorms. Snow fell in the Pinal mountains in Eastern Arizona. Rain Turns To Snow At Prescott, a heavy ram turned into snow during the morning, but And Fire Add To Perils (By Associated Press) PRING FLOODS drove thousands of persons from their homes in Eastern Pennsylvania and Southeastern New York yesterday as danger from high water diminished in four other states. At least 11 persona, six in Pennsylvania, four in New York and one in California, were known dead.

Damage ran into thousands, possibly millions, of dollars. Clearing skies brought relief tc Northern California, where 22,000 acres of rich farmland was flooded as the Sacramento river pierced levees in Colusa and Glenn counties. Scores of farm families were homeless and spring planting was delayed indefinitely. Crest Of 45 Feet Expected Floods that menaced Western Pennsylvania Sunday rolled on down the Ohio River valley. Low- lying sections of West Virginia and Ohio river towns were inundated, but no serious damage was reported.

The Ohio was expected crest at 45 feet, seven below flood stage, at Cincinnati on Friday. The Delaware river floodedl mer cabins and roads near Trenton, N. J. Damage was negligible. In Eastern Pennsylvania, hardest-hit area, an estimated 12,000 persons fled before the advance of the fast-rising Susquehanna and 'jJuniata rivers.

Industrial operations and business in towns along the rivers were paralyzed. Danger May Pass Today The Susquehanna at Wilkes- Barre, where 5,000 were homeless, was expected to pass today the 33.3- foot crest of the disastrous St. Patrick's Day flood of 1936. Three flood-damaged, gasoline tanks exploded at Edwardsville, across the river from Wilkes-Barre, temporarily adding fire to flood hazards. of flames were hurled over suburban areas, setting fire to farm buildings.

No one was injured by the blast. Gov. Arthur H. James, whose own home in Plymouth was surrounded by four feet of water, left the state capitol in Harrisburg to get a "firsthand view" of the flood damage. Relief Stations Set Up National guard and emergency units established relief stations to the flakes melted the ground.

upon reaching Rain started late Sunday in Kingman, and by last night the precipitation heavy there was 1.37 inches, rain fell at Globe, and at near by Miami a heavy downpour was accompanied by hail. At Grand Canyon, the minimum temperature dropped to 30 degrees above'zero, two degrees colder than at Flagstaff and four de- less than Prescott's minimum. Phoenix Gets Rain In Phoenix, a heavy wind developed during the day, skies were overcast and .04 of an inch of precipitation was recorded up to 6 3. m. At Tucson, light showers were accompanied by a strong wind, and the temperature dropped.

Cattlemen and farmers welcomed Lhe moisture, which ended a period of balmy weather. They expressed lopes the new snow and rain would ncrease the amount of water to be available for irrigation this summer. Cotton Textiles Mart Is Active NEW YORK, Apr. Worth Street textile market had another big session today in the cotton goods division, with estimates that buying of print cloths and related items would reach 25,000,000 yeards. Sudden revival of large scale demand Friday followed by active buying Saturday supplied impetus for today's heavy trade.

Business circles scanned the wide expansion of cotton goods turnover and on the ques- of whether it would be the forerunner of a broad industrial upturn, as has been the case on some occasions in the past. Textile brokers said the renewed urge of converters, jobbers and others to place forward orders for cotton cloth could be attributed lartly to a substantial lowering of nventories and "attractive" prices.

Seven hundred families were removed from Susquehanna river towns near Johnson City. Snow flurries and a drop in the temperature checked rising streams in, the Syracuse district Warrant Seen In Death Quiz DETROIT, Apr.

Federal Bureau of Investigation, after 48 hours of silence during its investigation of the mysterious death of 18-year-old Charlotte Cranson aboard the U. S. S. Dubuque, reported today that progress is being made. "We are in the midst of developments," John S.

Bugas, agent in charge of the Detroit FBI office, said, "and there may be definite ac- ion shortly." Bugas declined to amplify but laid one warrant might be issued. Three young men and two girls, described bv John O. Whitman, po- ice inspector, as the surviving members of an all-night drinking Darty on the navy vessel, have been detained for questioning since Sat- irday morning, a few hours after Miss Cranson was found dead. Bugas indicated that two girls probably would be dismissed soon, but that the three young men would be questioned further. Federal and local authorities will confer tomorrow on chemical analyses being made in an attempt to establish the cause of the girl's death.

physicians, including marine and naval medical officers, participated in the autopsy Sunday. Rockefeller Estate Gift Is Approved TRENTON, N. Apr. A bill authorizing the Ocean County Board of Freeholders to accept the 400-acre estate of the late John D. Rockefeller in Lakewood was passed tonight by the New Jersey Legislature.

The measure now goes to Gov. A. Harry Moore. The estate includes a 575,000 home and a nine-hole golf course. It was reported the Ocean freeholders were considering using the estate as a county sanatorium or institution.
