Jan. 4 A woman's hunch clipped the crime careers of two thrill-seeking young women who confessed today, po lice said, to the $2.10 holdup slaying of a bus driver, the father of two children. One of them, Mrs. Ethel Strouse Sohl, 20 years old, was the daughter of a policeman who had been trying to solve the crime. The other was Genevieve Owens, 17.

They were held without bail when arraigned on charges of murder. Threatened to Try Holdup Their arrest followed quickly an investigation launched by Newark probation officials, after one of them, Mrs. Helen During, said that Miss Owens commented yesterday, "If things don't improve I might go out and try a holdup." Miss Owens was on probation for vagrancy. She confessed under questioning, police said, and implicated Mrs. Sohl as the actual killer.

Detective Joseph Cocozza said that Sohl had confessed she held up William Barhorst, 34, of Totowa Borough, with a rifle on Dec. 21 at the end of his Rutherford-North Newark run, and pulled the trigger when he attempted to seize the weapon. Says Companion Waited She seized the change clip, Cocozza said, ran back to the auto where Miss Owens waited, and said: "I had a tussle and I think I shot a man." The two women, who met in the House of Detention last July, told police, Cocozza said, that they engaged in a career of crime "for the fun of it." Police said that Mrs. Sohl had admitted a previous holdup of an oil station. Apparently unperturbed, the two joked with detectives as they re-enacted the slaying in Belleville.

Mrs. Sohl's father did not report for duty today, police said. He said that he was ill. Magda Deported Back to France NEW YORK. Jan.

Thomas Heflin in Alabama's senatorial primary today, apparently by 2 to 1. With 1,453 of the state's 2,200 boxes tabulated, the count was: Hill. 74.034. Heflin, 39.938. Charles W.

Williams. 4.305. Senator John H. Bankhead said that he had voted for Hill. Gov.

Bibb Graves had announced that he would vote for Hill, who will he one of the youngest senators at the age of 43. Hill will succeed Hugo L. Black. Hill was one of the few southern congressmen to favor the Black-Connery wage-and-hour bill. Both Heflin and Williams opposed it in campaign speeches.

Heflin's campaign was interrupted two weeks ago by illness and the former senator was unable to vote today. Open-Door Policy on Labor Pledged New Mayor Intends to Expand D.S.R. Bus Service Large Crowd Attends Inaugural Ceremony Mavor Richard W. Reading's administration, pledged to economy government, an open-minded labor policy, improved traffic con-U and expansion of D.S.R. bus services, took charge of the municipal government Tuesday.

The new mayor inaugural address, emphasizing the desirability of a pay-as-you-go basis of City financing, was given Tuesday night in the crowded, flower-decked Council chambers. Earlier in the day the Mayor issued a statement that he would make no immediate changes in the municipal personnel an unprecedented action for an incoming mayor, according to veteran City Hall observers. Councilmen Sworn In After all nine members of the new Council, three of whom are serving on the legislative body for the first time, were sworn in by City Clerk Fred W. Castator, who forgot to call the name of veteran Councilman John C. Lodge, the gavel was presented to Council President Edward J.

Councilmen Lodge and Van Antwerp, president pro tern, escorted Mayor Reading to the rostrum, where he gave his address after an introduction by Jeffries.

Mayor's Speech Short The Mayor's address was brief and unadorned with the customary references to Charter provisions governing each individual municipal department. Much of the address was devoted to City finances, but there were brief discussions of policy in welfare, labor, housing, traffic and transportation. In discussing his policy toward labor, he said: "For labor, organized or other-wife, the mayor's door will be open. More than this, I intend to those problems peculiar to labor and industry with an open mind" The, only appointments made in the executive office, except those cf temporary secretaries, were of Text of the Mayor'i inaugural menage on Page 3 Detective Lieut.

"If the Government put a billion dollars into circulation, it would in my opinion stop the recession," he said, but he later emphasized that he was making no definite recommendation to this effect, only answering questions as to what would be the result. He testified before a special Senate committee which started today a long search for the causes of unemployment and remedies which Congress might apply to business ills. Blames High Trice Primarily, Eccles said, the recession was the result of prices rising faster than the purchasing power of most of the people. When a certain point In this movement was reached, he explained, recovery from the old depression "got out of balance." Beyond that, he expressed belief that certain rigid prices were a serious defect in the economic system. Some sections of industry and of organized labor, principally allied with construction, refused to permit a drop in prices and wages between 1929 and 1933 commensurate with the decrease in other lines, he asserted.

Would Cut Costs "Labor as well as industry would be better off," he said, "if they voluntarily took a reduction that put cost and wages where they were before the advance of 1936. He acknowledged that there were many obstacles to such a compact, principally a justifiable demand from labor for a guarantee of bigger yearly income in return for a decreased hourly wage. As for what Congress should do now, he strongly advocated "a bottom" below which the wages of the lower-paid workers could not fall. He asserted that "the most important thing at the moment is to sustain consumer buying power." Cites Decline In Spending Eccles said that a sharp decline in Government spending in 1937 had contributed to the factors which brought on the business recession. The financial expert added that there had been a drop of approximately $3,000,000,000 in the amount that the Government contributed to "community spending' in the first 11 months of 1937, as compared to the same period of 1936.

The Government's contribution to community spending, he ex plained, is the difference in the amount it collects in taxes (thus taking it out of the hands of persons who would spend it in business or to buy business products) and the total amount that it spends. Please Turn to Pays Column 3 Zep Trips to U.S. Will Be Resumed U.S. Helium Will Lift Hindenburg's Twin NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (A.

A German dirigible, lifted by non-imflammable American helium instead of the hydrogen which caused the death of 36 persons when the Hindenburg crashed in flames last May, will resume airship service to Lakehurst, N. in about five months. The new ship, the IZ-130, will make 15 to IS round trips at the rate of three a month until autumn. Because helium is heavier than hydrogen, the ship, the same size as the Hindenburg, can carry only 40 passengers, The Hindenburg carried 70. To conserve helium, it will be warmed at the start of a voyage to create greater buoyancy.

As a result of the Hindenburg disaster. Congress recently authorized export of helium. Taken from the ground at Amanllo, 17.900.000 cubic feet of the gas will he sent to Germany on a freighter. American Zeppelin agents who announced the resumption of said that a larger ship. th LZ-131, now was being built in Germany to carry 80 passengers and probably would be leased to United Sta'es interests for service 'to Lakehurst in 1539.

As part of a plan to "put money and men back to work," the Hudson Motor Car Co. will double its working force to 12,000 in preparation for the production of a new car in the lowest price field, A. E. Barit, president, announced Tuesday. Speaking before a group of editors from all parts of the country at a luncheon in the Hotel Book-Cadillac, Barit said: "Hudson's manufacturing plans call for the return of 6,000 employees to work during the next few weeks.

These are in addition to the equal number now employed. Plans also provide for the expenditure of $11,000,000 for tools, production materials and other costs. The factory payroll will be increased by $1,250,000 a month." Low Cost Stressed "Production of the new car will begin this week," Barit continued. "It will measure up to every tradition of lowest priced cars in economy of ownership and operation. It will set new standards in the amount of room it makes available, in the smoothness of operation, the sturdlness of construction, and the fine-car features it will bring to its owners." The new car will have a wheel-base of 112 inches and will be 187 1 a inches over all.

The motor is 83 horsepower and Barit said tests have shown a gasoline consumption of 24 miles to a gallon. Prices will be released Sunday, along with pictures of the new model. The name of the car has not as yet been released. Early production will be along four body styles sedan, three and four-passenger coupe, and a convertible coupe. Preview Scheduled On Wednesday, Hudson distributors from all corners of the United States will view the new car here in Detroit, while Detroit dealers will stage their preview Thursday.

Other dealers and members of the trade will see the new car on Friday. In his talk to newspaper men, Barit said: i -''The- automobile Vindustry credited a few years ago with leading the way toward an upward trend for business. If it was able to lead the way out of the depression, it seems reasonable to expect it to do something about leading the way out of the recession." The announcement was commended by Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers Union. "It is a welcome relief in the monotonous pessimism to hear of one who means to go forward; one who announces a rehiring of workers rather than a mass lay off," Martin Two Are Seized in Yule Kidnaping INDIA NATOLIS, Jan. 4 (A State Police Supt.

23 Prisoners Missing After Parole for Yule MONTGOMERY, Jan. 4 (A. Three major prisons in Alabama listed as unreported to day 23 prisoners out of 554 who were granted Christmas paroles on man-to-man agreements that they would return. Several of the missing have telephoned or telegraphed that they were delayed. Gov.

Says Parleys Would Not Conflict with Monopoly Laws Industry and Labor Told to Clean House WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (A.P.) A new system of planned industrial production is consid-eied, Presk'ent Roosevelt disclosed today, as one means to prevent business recessions. He told reporters that there had been much discussion of a proposal to have industry and Government sit around the conference table ta gauge future purchasing power and consumers' needs.

Emphasizing that he was not advocating re-enactment of th National Recovery Act, the President nevertheless pointed out that under the NRA codes it was legal for industrial heads to figure out probable demand with Government experts and plan pro duction accordingly. Believe Parleys Legal He expressed belief that so Ion if as this were done without price-fixing and without eliminating competition, it was an intelligent way to figure out needs. He said that there had been lot of discussion as to whether this would be legal under the antitrust laws and many people wer afraid of it. No decision had been reached as yet, he said, adding that it would be two or three weeks before he sent his special message to Congress urging a revision of the anti-tnist laws. The President prefaced his discussion with references to specific cases of the high-pressure salesmanship to which he objected in his message to Congress yester day.

Warning to tabor He also spoke of the need for ending the jurisdictional dispuU between organized labor groups. However, he said that he wanted to give capital and labor a chanc to put their own houses in order before making any new legislative moves. Regarding sales pressure, th President told of a garage owner in a small town. The man explained. Mr.

Roosevelt related, that he normally sold about 30 cars a year, but last year jumped his sales to 62 acting on pressure front the factory. He was urged to warn customers that prices would ris $100 a car the next year, he said, and to extend credit terms over 24 months instead of 18. The result, he said, was overselling and dearth of business later. The President also related that a large steel manufacturer, asked why production in his plant had slipped from 90 to 28 per cent of normal, explained that railroads bought a whole year's supply of rails last summer, anticipating a rise in prices. The President said that this waJ an unintelligent way of handling business and added that it was admitted to be such by the very people responsible for Please Turn to Page 8 Column 1 Divorce Action Bares Yule Disappointment All that the wife of Stanley P.

The alleged inequities, working seriously to the disadvantage of Michigan shippers, are comparable to the discriminations in telephone toll rates recently disclosed by the Free Press. State Shipments Higher Shipments for longer distances over interstate lines cost less than similar shipments wholly within Michigan, just as telephone tolls under rates fixed by the Federal Communications Commission es-! tablish a lower cost for calls of longer distances than similar calls within Michigan. Asking relief from this competitive handicap, the Detroit Board of Commerce petitioned the Michigan rate-making body on Nov.

24 to set aside its latest schedules and grant a rehearing. No action has been taken on the petition. The complaint brings to light serious distortions of competitive lates. Detroit Shippers Penalized Detroit shippers, for instance, pay a fourth-class rate of $2.00 a 1,000 pounds on consignments to Mt. Clemens, 20 miles away, while Toledo shippers have a $2.70 rate for the seventy-eight-mile journey, including some of the same roads, to Mt.

Clemens. Detroit pays $3.40 a thousand on shipments 59 miles to Flint and Toledo pays only $2.90 for 109-mile shipments to the same destination. Detroit shippers pay $3.30 a thousand for the 69 miles to Adrian, while Cleveland ships 148 miles to the same destination for $3.20. Kalamazoo is supposed to mark the halfway mark between Detroit and Chicago, yet the Detroit- Kalamazoo rate is $4.30, compared with a Chicago-Kalamazoo rate of $3.50. Chicago Firm Benefit It costs Detroit Shippers $4 40 a thousand to ship to Grand Rapids, 155 miles away, but Chicago shippers have a $3.50 rate, even though the distance is 178 miles.

An tindentified woman in the studio audience threw hlack popper in the face of Arthur Garfield Hays tonight while he was making a radio broadcast against fascism over station WEVD. The speaker, scrietary of the I American Civil Liberties Union, was discussing Mayor Frank I Hague's stand against the I O. in Jersey Citv when he was attacked. Refreshed and cheerful strain after more than six hours of sleep, Harry Bennett, Ford personnel chief, waited at home Tuesdnv night for word from his seventeen- year-oia daugnter Gertrude, who was married in Auburn, at 6 p. m.

Monday. When he learned at 2 n. Tuesday that his daughter was married and not kidnaped, Bennett caned ott an eighteen-hour search by State Police, G-men and Ford detectives. He went, to bed nt 3 p. m.

and slept until 9:30 m. Then he told reporters: "Of course, lrudy is still my daughter and I will do anything can to help her. xi an over now, Regrets the Publicity "My only regret is that she didn't let me know and avoid all this unnecessary publicity," Bennett declared, "i hope she'll get in touch with me and come home as soon as possible. I'll be back at work in the morning." The bridegroom is Russell Hughes, 21 years old. amateur drummer and clog dancer and a fellow student working his way through Michigan State Normal Lollege at lpsilanti.

No direct word from the couple had been received late Tuesday afternoon and police continued to check cities where the two might have gone after the ceremony, performed by Justice Miles Baxter. 'On Their Own Now' "I hope the guy has a job and can support her," Bennett had said earlier in the day. They're on their own now." Gertrude's last word to her family before the elopement was a note sent to her sister Billie, 19, saying that she was going to a dinner at the college and would not be home. Calling for Gertrude later, Billie found that no such dinner had been held and the nationwide search started. F'ear that the girl had been kidnaped despite reports that she had been seen driving with Hughes was strengthened by anonymous tnreats received Monday by Bennett warning him to guard his family.

Bennett Breaks Down Bennett, former navy boxer who heads the Ford personnel department, broke down when first told of his daughter's marriage. "Leave me alone for a little while," he had begged reporters who swarmed through the stone Bennett mansion on Geddes Road, Ypsilanti. "Trudy is only a baby," he said. "If she had told us. she would have saved us a lot of worry and the authorities a lot of trouble." The Ford service chief had refused to believe that his daughter could have eloped, though police Inclined to that theory.

"Trudy always did what she wanted and told me to go to hell, but she never kept anything from me," he had insisted. F.arned Tuition at Ford Plant Friends of the girl revealed, however, that she had been seeing Hughes for some months without her family's knowledge. Hughes, whose stepfather, I. A. Routson, is employed by the Ford Motor owes his chance to attend college to Bennett's help.

Hughes saved the money for tuition while working at a job his bride's father got for him during the summer. So sure was Bennett that his daughter would confide in him that police did not check marriage-license bureaus in Indiana. Only when a press-service correspondent found that the couple had obtained a permit under their own names was the marriage revealed.

The Royal Commission recommended the division cf Palestine into three areasa sovereign Arab state, a sovereign Jewish state, and a territory under British mandate, including Jerusalem.
