Deliberate Killing Charged HARRISON, Dec. Carl (Jack) Livingston heard himself described alternately Monday as having been "alcoholically insane" and "drunk but not insane" when he shot and killed Isaiah Leebove. Closing arguments were completed in Livingston's trial for the slaying. Circuit Judge Ray Hart adjourned court until Tuesday, when he will charge the jury. The jurors are expected to begin deliberations before noon, after two members of the panel of 14 have Albert D.

Wing, assistant attorney general, and Prosecutor Donald E. Holbrook summed up the State's case, both contending that the prosecution had shown that the shooting of Leebove in the taproom of a Clare hotel last May 14 was deliberate. Livingston had accused Leebove of "doublecrossing" him two years before the shooting, Holbrook said. "There, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is your motive," he declared. "Practically years before the actual offense, Livingston said, 'He needs to be shot and I suppose I'll have to do Evidence of Sanity Claimed Referring to testimony of eye witness, Holbrook contended that when Livingston said to Leebove after firing, "I told you I would shut you up," it was "the thinking of a sane man." "I will not say it is not the thinking of a drunken man," he added.

Holbrook said he had no doubt that Livingston was afraid of Leebove but "that is no ground for a killing that was not in selfdefense."

NLRB Handed a New Setback by High Court Refuses Review in 145 Sailors' Ouster for Sit-Down Equality in Education for Negroes Ordered No. 223 WASHINGTON, Dec. -The Supreme Court today thwarted an effort of the National Labor Relations Board to reinstate 145 seamen discharged after two ships had been seized in sit-down strikes. Without explaining its action, the Court refused a board request that it review a decision of the Fifth Federal Circuit Court, which set aside a board order requiring reinstatement of the men. The order had been directed against the Peninsular and Occidental Co.

As in that case, the American Federation of Labor appeared in opposition to the Board in the proceedings ended today. Reinstatement Ordered The NLRB had ordered the strikers reinstated with back pay, contending that they were discharged because they joined and assisted the National Maritime Union, a C.I.O. affiliate. At the time of the dispute, the International Seamen's Union (A.F,L.) had contracts with company, which operates the steamers Florida and Cuba between Miami and Port Tampa, and Havana. Crew members on the Florida struck, asserting that they wished to change their union affiliation from the A.F.L.

to the C.I.O. Members of the Cuba crew joined the strike, which was settled by intervention of the Labor Department. Two weeks later members of the crew on the Cuba who still favored A.F.L, affiliation: refused to sail with those who had joined the C.I.O., and a new strike resulted. Crews of both the Florida Cuba were discharged and the A.F.L. union, under its contract, supplied new crews.

Held Evidence of Mutiny The circuit court decided that the seizing of the ships by sitdown strikers was "at least prima facie evidence that the crews were guilty of In its only formal decision today, the high court ruled that the University of Missouri should admit Lloyd Gaines, a Negro, to its school of law, (In Lansing, where he is employed on a WPA-sponsored survey, Gaines declined to say whether he would enter the school, which previously had refused to admit him.) The Court ruled, in effect, that states must admit Negroes to the professional schools of their universities unless educational facilities of equal rank are provided in separate schools. Gaines' attorney expressed the belief that the decision would mean increased facilities for the higher education of Negroes in 16 states. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote the majority opinion. Justices Clark McReynolds and Pierce Butler dissented. Please Turn to Page 2-Column 3 Two Earthquakes Valencia VALENCIA, Dec.

Free for Over a Century PWA Scuttles City Program; Subway Is Out Plans for $55,666,000 Spending Rejected Almost Entirely Proposal for Parking Underground Beaten Detroit's $55,666,000 PWA program, including a proposed 400,000 subway and a $4,190,000 underground parking project, has been rejected almost in its entirety, Mayor Reading was informed Monday. H. A. Gray, assistant administrator of the PWA, in a letter to William M.

Walker, PWA co-ordinator, reported that only the $235,000 project for construction of the Osius Branch Library and the $170,987 Crary Elementary School project had been approved. Offer No Encouragement Substantially all the money appropriated by the 1938 act now has been allocated and Federal officials can offer no encouragement at the present time regarding allotments for the subway and the $1,045,000 Fox Creek floodabatement project, Gray said. Mayor Reading declared that the flood-relief project, however, would be undertaken exclusively with City funds, $500,000 having been appropriated in the 1938-39 budget as the City's contribution as sponsor, Bus-Purchase Plan Doomed Examiners were unable to recommend approval of applications to finance construction of the subway project, the $723,250 nurses' home proposed to be built adjacent to Herman Kiefer, Hospital, the $6,606,357 Fair Grounds improvement project, and the $1,800,000 bus-purchase plan submitted by the D.S.R., Gray declared. The status of the City's application for a $496,000 project for improvements al and extensions to its public markets was not indicated in Gray's letter, but G. V.

Branch, director of markets, said that he had not been informed that it had been approved. Walker expressed the belief that it also would be disapproved because the Federal funds have been virtually exhausted. Allotments Made Early Allotments for PWA applications were made as early as favorable conclusions could be reached, and applications made were much in excess of the amount made available for allocation, Gray explained. Mayor Reading expressed the hope that the applications might be renewed after Congress convenes in January. The proposed subway project was sponsored by the Rapid Transit Commission, and Henry E.

Beyster, D.P.W. commissioner, proposed the underground parking lots beneath Cadillac Square and Grand Circus Park to relieve traffic congestion downtown. Washington officials indicated several months ago that the subway project would not be approved.

Sounds Fishy FINAL EDITION 28 Pages Three Cents Lithuania Gets Warning from Reich as Memel's Nazis Oust State's Police Engineers' Strike Imperils Water Supply of St. Louis ST. LOUIS, Dec.

12-(U. A strike of operating engineers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor shut off all but one of the City's four waterpumping stations late today. Edward Wahl, director of public utilities, announced that water to all industries not producing foodstuffs would have to be turned off and that a police guard had been thrown about the three closed stations. He said an attempt would be made to put the stations back in operation. Approximately 70 members of the International Union of operating Engineers walked out at 4 p.m.

Wahl said the strike was a jurisdictional dispute between the engineers and the Firemen and Reich to Help Jews Migrate Its Plan Is Aimed at Boosting Exports from some public places. Explains New Drive BERLIN, Dec. 12-(U. -A plan to rid Germany of her 000 unwanted Jews within two years and at the same time increase German exports by millions of dollars was revealed tonight in an announcement that the Reich will facilitate Jewish emigration. Dr.

Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank and Germany's economic wizard, will inform the Bank of International Settlements in Basle and the intergovernmental committee on refugees in London this week that Germany is ready to release a portion of Jewish wealth. More than 15 Per Cent The plan contemplates granting permission to emigrating German Jews to carry more than 15 per cent of their remaining wealth out of the Reich. Permission to take 15 per cent in addition to the amount every refugee can take from Germany would apply, however, only when foreign governments giving homes to the Jews agreed to use these funds for the purchase of additional exports. An announcement by the German news agency DNB, which denied that Germany intended to drive the Jews into ghettos, said that after New Year's Day Jews would be permitted to buy at German shops and frequent "Aryan" hotels and restaurants, although they would continue to be barred The anti-Semitic measures taken in the last month, DNB explained, were "aimed at the eventful emigration of Jews from Germany and were undertaken solely to prevent friction and make living with Aryans bearable until Jewish emigration is completed." The announcement of Germany's readiness to facilitate Jewish emigration by co-operating in a financial solution raised hope that a number of countries, particularly those in South America, would be willing to receive German Jews if they are permitted to take wealth out of Germany.

After that, he said, the city may be in desperate straits. Wahl and John B. Dean, water commissioner, notified the public "to stop all waste of water and to confine the use water to the bare necessities of life until pumping stations can be brought back to normal operating conditions." Only 129 men employed at the pumping stations were directly atfected.

The number may into the thousands tomorrow, however. if the dispute is not settled by the time factories are ready to resume operations.

They Will Ask Hitler. to Respect Treaty, Signed in '24 Against Annexation, Two Powers Declare LONDON, Dec. 12-(A. Lithuania's unruly stepchild, Memel, edged closer to Germany today while Antanas Smetona began his fourth term as president of Lithuania, with countries the troubled must be words: careful." Today's developments in Germany's latest move for expansion included; 1-While awaiting word from Adolf Hitler as to whether he wants Memel attached to Germany or merely German in name and not in fact, the Memel Germans told the Lithuanian state police to get out. 2-The German Foreign Office organ warned that it was time for the Lithuanian Government to change its attitude toward Memel in view of the "united confession of Memellanders to their German nationality" in yesterday's Memel Diet elections.

3-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the British House of Commons that Britain and France had formally expressed the hope that Hitler would not annex Memel. President Smetona, beset by the Nazi agitation in Memel and by rightist foes in Lithuania proper, was guarded by troops and police today as he went to the parliament building in Kaunas to take his oath. Desire to Co-operate In an address, he expressed his desire to co-operate with Germany in fulfillment of complete Memel autonomy, which now is limited certain Lithuanian sovereign powers. Both Smetona and Memel's veterinarian feuhrer, Ernst Neumann, awaited word of Hitler's position. It was expected to be carried to Kaunas by German Minister Erich Wilhelm Zechlin, now in Berlin.

The university in Kaunas was closed in the face of student strikes which followed the arrest of 100 students and at least one hightist politician, Decree Ousting Police The decree ousting the Lithuanian, Memel state police Directory, was a five issued mem- by, ber executive body.

More than 2,000 Memel citizens met tonight and demanded the resignation of Smetona's government and former Premier Augustinas Waldemaras' return from exile to head a pro-German regime. The rising anger of Lithuanian soldiery caused fears tonight of an armed clash in Memel between the garrison there and Nazis jubilantly celebrating their victory in the elections. The Germans already had 24 of the 29 seats in the Memel Diet.

It was presumed that they won more yesterday. Warning from Berlin In Berlin the Deutsche D' i- lomatisch Politische Korrespondenz said that "how the Lithuanian Government will act toward the expression of the will of Memelland is essential for determination of future developments."
