3 (A. President Roosevelt asked the newly convened Congress today for legislation to end "harmful" business practices, and appealed to business itself to help in the stamping out. In a personally delivered message broadcast to almost tha entire world, he promised business that if it would c6-opcrata with government in this way, it could count upon government to co-operate with it "in every way." After the recent vehement attacks upon some sections of the business community by high Administration advisers, the President's address was generally regarded in Congress as unexpectedly conciliatory. But opponents of the Administration were still wary, nevertheless, and before determining their course of action preferred to await a second message ont the subject of business reforms it i i i which Mr. Roosevelt said he i I niivf I InhmrlC a New Hearing Appeal Brief Includes an Offer to Present New Evidence Move Made Last Day of Compliance Period The Ford Motor Co.

Claims Lack of Evidence Total absence from the record of evidence supporting certain phases of the finding is claimed in the petition.

Sharp fighting was reported developing along the shores of the West Lake, on the outskirts of Hangchow. capital of Chekiang Province, 120 miles soutnwest oi Shanghai. Japanese Insisted that their oc cupation of Hangchow was complete and unopposed. Communica tion with Hangchow was snai-tered.

Jap Troops Harassed Other Chinese reports said that the Japanese occupation of the area from Shanghai westward to Nanking was far from complete. Large guerrilla bands of Chinese were said to be causing the Japanese ceaseless trouble. Two Japanese columns were driving from the north and south to pinch off Suchow, in northern Klangsu Province, the strategetic junction of the railway linking North and Central China, and the east west line. Four American missionaries were In Suchow.

Frost was thawing frozen water pipes with a blowtorch In the attic of his farm home when Mrs. Frost called him downstairs to hear the start of Mr. Roosevelt's message.

Frost set the torch on the floor, walked downstairs and was taking a seat near the radio when the top of the house was rocked by an explosion which tore out rafters, blew out the north gable of the attic and sent bricks crashing over the back yard. Combustion inside the blowtorch was blamed for the explosion. Stanch Republican Frost admitted that he had been given a New Deal. ment as the outcry waa so great the decree could not be read. The suspension was to have cleared the way for new elections by which the King hoped to overthrow the Wafdist parliamentary majority.

Wher Maher, brother of King Farouk's political adviser who was one of the causes of the quarrel with Nahas. attempted to read the decree, Nahas sprang to his feet demandng the right to speak "in the name of the fatherland." Maher refused him the floor and the tumult became so great that the president declared the session ended. The quarrel between Egypt's eighteen-year-old King and Nahas developed early last fall when Farouk attempted to increase his influence in the Government and demanded that the hluc-shirted Wafdist youth organization be disbanded. After weeks of futile spoking after a compromise Nahas refused to permit arbitration by a com-j mittee named by Farouk and was 'summarily dismissed from office.

The suit is based on a broadcast said to have been made by Fidler last Dec. 28 in which he is accused of having. wrongfully im plied that Miss Bennett had been grossly discourteous to Patsy Kelly.

It seems that when Patsy Miss Bennett came to work the first day Connie said, 'I'm glad to have you in my But the second day, for some unaccountable reason, Miss Bennett failed to speak to Miss Kelly at all. "It became so noticeable that studio electricians and workers, siding with Miss Kelly, began saying 'Hello, and they kept it up the entire day, cither in fun or else to make pointed digs at Miss Bennett. The workmen finally finished things off in a grand style when they presented Miss Kelly with a large basket of flowers, but none for Miss Bennett." Asking $100,000 actual and exemplary damages, Miss Bennett contended that the broadcast gave hundreds of thousands of motion picture and radio patrons the impression that her supposed snub of Miss Kelly was so reprehensible as to cause comment all over the studio.

She called the entire broadcast reference to her "false, defamatory and libelous," and accused Fidler of making It with malicious intent to Injure her. Late today Mis Bennett made a statement regarding the suit saying: "I am utterly and com pletely fed up with being the prey of a scandalmonger. For months now untrue and unwarranted aspersions have been cast against me personally, my professional career has been kicked about like a football, false and disparaging statements credited to my utterance. All these have been fabrications. Never have I had the courtesy of a retraction, an ex planation or an apology." Lost Flier Redfern Now Legally Dead Wife Asks the Vatican for Right to Wed Paul Redfern, American flier who disappeared on a flight to Brazil 10 years ago, Monday was declared legally dead in the first step in clearing the way to a Vatican decree allowing his wife to remarry.

Circuit Judge Robert M. Toms granted Mrs. Gertrude S. Red-fem's petition to have the flier declared dead. She said that she she had asked for the Vatican decree, and had been told that before it could be considered civil authorities must recognize her widowhood.

A previous attempt to have Redfern declared dead failed in December when Probate Judge Edward Command ruled that he did not have jurisdiction. Judge Toms' action sets a Michigan precedent. The slim, blond Mrs. Redfern told of the long search for the flier, who has become a half- legendary character. Thirteen ex peditions, spurred on Dy stories oi a mysterious "white god" living among the Indians in the South American jungles, have searched for Redfern.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3 The De partment of Justice has been less aggressive in tne prosecution or monopolies in the administration of President Roosevelt than it was In the incumbency of President Hoover, statistics obtained today disclosed. In the five" years preceding the New Deal 53 prosecutions were launched: in the five years since President Roosevelt took office, but 43.. In the last 10 years the anti trust division of the Department of Justice instituted anti-trust suits as follows: 192821: 1929 13; 193011; 19313; 19325; Salt Shortage Caused by Ice Dealers Swamped in Clean-Walk Drive The campaign to enforce the City ordinance requiring householders to keep their sidewalks free from ice has resulted In a temporary shortage of rock salt in Detroit, it was learned Monday.

"The shortage has been felt by every salt company in Detroit," said O. Strader, sales manager for the Mulkey Salt Co. "The demand in the last two or three weeks has been tremendous. We're just beginning to catch up on our orders now." Mined Near River Rouge All salt used in the Detroit area comes from a mine near the River Rouge bridge between Fort St. and Oakwood Blvd.

The mine is one of the largest in the country and the only one between New York and Kansas. Benjamin F. Welton, manager of the Detroit Rock Salt which owns the mine, admitted that "we were" pushed pretty hard during the last snowstorm." Welton said that although much of the demand was occasioned by an Impending increase in freight rates, the snow and ice undoubtedly had a great deal to do with it. D.S.R. Also Buys More Private householders are using rock salt as an ice remover in increasing quantities and the D.S.R.

also is using it in greater abundance, he said. The Morton Salt Co. is another which has encountered an Increasing demand. Police have announced that issuance of tickets for violation of the ordinance will follow refusal of householders to keep ice off their sidewalks. There will be no sign of a January thaw Tuesday, according to Weather Bureau officials, who forecast fair and continued cold weather for the day, and much colder toward evening.

Conciliatory Tone U.S.Utility Aid High Tribunal Backs Loans to Cities By Clifford A. Prevost WASHINGTON, Jan.

3 Tha Supreme Court today upheld ona of the major measures of the Nev Deal's power policies and paveil the way for a favorable decision on a second. In one derision, the tribunal sustained the policy of the Administration in making loans to municipalities for construction of power systems, a decision in which the Detroit Public Lighting Commission has a vital interest. As a result of the ruling tha commission can seek low interest-bearing loans from the Federal Government for extension of Its system, one of the largest municipally owned systems in the world. Today's decision was hailed by PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes as paving the way for new construction projects in 23 states.

Sixty-one such projects have been held up pending the decision. These projects are estimated to cost $146,917,809, of which sum tha Government has alloted $61,225,544 as loans and $38,412,408 as grants. TV.V Ruling Unanimous All Justices nf the high agreed in the PWA case, brought by the Alabama Power Co. and the Duke Power Co. Both suits involved the lending of Federal funds to municipalities desiring to construct their own plants for distribution of powc produced by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

While the PWA loans has a far-reaching hearing on the Federal power policies, a ruling in a California rate-making case was regarded as more Important from the standpoint of states and cities. In the California action, the Supreme Court reversed a California District Court decision in a casa in which the State had used the "prudent investment" valuation theory in fixing rates for tne Pacific Gas Electric Co. But since the case was sent back on the ground that the rates were confiscatory rather than because the "prudent investment'" theory was used, Administration authorities believed that the decision was the first step in validating the rate-making basis which President Roosevelt advocates. Would Bring Rate Cut Effort If the high court finally decides that the present system of using reprodurtion costs In evaluating utility holdings for rate-making purposes can be dispensed with, the way will be opened for all states to seek reductions in utility charges.

Jackson Head of DiviMon Assistant Attorney General Rob ert H.

Jackson is chief of the antitrust division. He has led the attack upon monopolies and trusts in two important addresses, and has been joined by President Roose velt and Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes. But the foregoing: fitrures. oh- tianed from the Department of Justice, reveal that Jncks.m has been anything but aggressive in prosecuting the ahuses about which he complains outside the court room.

Notwithstanding the fact that the department has not availed Itself of the present laws as fully as it might, Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, In his annual report today, urged a congressional investigation of what he termed the Inadequacy of the anti-trust laws. Points to Need for Change He maintained that the present statute is not comprehensive enough to permit dealing with "the many ramifications" of the nr.onopoly problem. He pointed out that the Sherman Act had not been fundamentally changed since it was passed in 1S90. Senator Robert M.

LaFollette. Wisconsin Progressive, said that he would support a resolution for a congressional monopoly investigation if it were conducted "to weigh, in the light of public policy, the whole question of com petition and monopoly." LaFol lctte said that he would not favor a "slap-dash hearing." Senator Robert F. Wagner, New- York Democrat, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said, however, that he saw no need for an extensive investigation. "We should be ready to legislate against monopolies now," he said. "We surely have enough available information about them." Revives Court Packing Cummings' report also revived two phases of President Roosevelt's defeated court-reorganization bill.

That measure would have provided a "proctor" to supervise the Federal courts and would have given the Chief Justice a free hand in assigning judges to various districts. The Attorney General's report recommended creation of an administrative officer similar to the "proctor" and suggested greater "flexibility" for the courts.

As Lashley got off, he was confronted by the three bandits, one armed. They robbed the motor-man of his overcoat and $29 and dashed away down the street on foot.

Then the U. S. Cavalry arrived in the shape of a Hunt St. police cruiser manned by Sergt. Fred Provencher and three patrolmen.

Senate Majority Leader Albcn Barkley said that the message was "a very comprehensive, well-prepared and constructive speech."

House Minority Leader Bertram! Snell said that the message was "more conciliatory than I expected." while Rep. John Taber, New York Republican, asserted that "the President seems to be bound to make the depression complete." "A very excellent message, certainly consistent with Mr. Roosevelt's objectives throughout his Administration," said House Speak er William Bankhcad.

He asserted his faith that democracy would once more become worldwide.
