CROWDS THEN
BATHTUB SLAVER
Porter Jailed to Await Trial
February 1 in Murder
of Mrs. Case.
tj the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 15.—With
the threatening cries of screaming
■women still ringing in his ears, Major
Greene, 33-year-old colored man, was
behind bars today awaiting trial Feb
ruary 1 for the bflth tub slaying of
Mrs. Mary Robinson Case.
The wiry porter, who, authorities
said, had signed a complete confes
sion, was sullen and seemingly un
moved last night as detectives led him
lrom Queens County Court, where he
pleaded innocent before Judge John
S. Colden.
Outside a noisy crowd of spectators,
most of them women, surged toward
the prisoner when he appeared under
heavy police guard.
‘Lynch him!” the crowd cried.
“He’s no good! He ought to be hungl
the chair’s too good for you!”
Greene threw up his unmanacled
hand to shield himself.
They attempted to pummel him with
umbrellas, sticks and pocketbooks, but
most of the blows fell on the shoulders
of detectives, who swarmed around to
elbow him unharmed to the Queens
County Jail, 200 yards away.
The arraignment was completed
only 72 hours after Mrs. Case’s stran
gled and beaten body was found by
her husband, Frank Case, 30, in an
overflowing bath tub In their Jackson
Heights, Queens, apartment.
Greene confessed, District Attorney
Charles P. Sullivan said, that he had
come to the apartment to steal when
he attacked Mrs. Case and felled her
with a hammer.

Time for Full Discussion.
“There is time for full considera
tion and discussion of the extension
of the loaning powers of the R. F. C.
and of the Electric Home and Farm
Authority,” said Byrd, reminding his
colleagues that “we were Informed at
the beginning of this session that
ample opportunity would be given
for debate on all measures.”
Senator Byrd won applause from
his colleagues when he made It clear
that he was in no way criticizing the
administration of Jesse Jones, chair
man of the R. F. C., but was “dis
cussing the extension of emergency
agencies of government in relation to
an effective reorganization.”
"Why extend these five emergency
agencies until July 1, 1939, if the re
organization is to be made effective
sooner?” Byrd asked.
One of the most difficult problems
In reorganization, Byrd insisted, is to
determine whether emergency func
tions should be made permanent. He
argued that this decision should be
made by Congress as Congress created
these agencies, and that Congress
should say “’whether functions re
garded as proper during the emer
gency should be frozen into the gen
eral structure of the Government.”
Must Walt Till July I, 1938.
He pointed out that reorganization,
whether accomplished by the Presi
dent or by Congress, cannot be effec
tive until July 1, 1938, because the
budget now before Congress “provides
for no economies for the year begin
ning July l next.”
He summarized his opposition to the
Glass resolution as follows:
1. It extends those emergency activ
tties for two and a hall years, and tms
applies, not only to the R. F. C„ but
to the other five emergency agencies.
2. If this resolution is passed, it will
mean that the other 14 emergency
agencies will without doubt be given
the same status and reorganization
likely deferred until July 1, 1939.
"The only time to abolish a bureau
or agency is on the date of its termina
tion,” he declared. "If continued,
such agencies will remain indefinitely
among the functions of our Govern
ment.”
Byrd said he was further opposed to
the resolution because there is no
necessity for haste or extension of at
least three of the agencies involved
and that each one of these emergency
agencies should stand on merit and
aot be covered by the cloak of popu
larity of the chairman of the R. F. C.
Earlier the Senate leadership had
arraned to send President Roosevelt's
reorganization recommendation to an
other committee than the Reorganiza
tion Committee headed by Byrd.
It was first announced that Mr.
Roosevelt’s message would be sent in
the Senate to the Appropriations Com
mittee of which Senator Glass, i^
chairman. Maajority Leader Robinson,
however, announced a change in plans
late yesterday after he had learned
that the House had passed two resolu
tions, creating a special committee of
its own. consisting of seven members,
authorized to bring in preferential
legislation, and union with the Senate
in a joint committee with inquisatorial
a joint committee with Inquisatorial
powers. Senator Robinson said he
would co-operate with the House in
organization of the new joint com
mittee to handle the organization pro
gram.
Robinson on Byrd Committee.
Both Robinson and Minority Lead
er McNary are members ol the pres
ent Byrd Committee. When Byrd was
asked if his committee would act on
the President’s proposals, he replied:
•That is not for us to say.”
Byrd is opposed to the President’s
proposals for two new cabinet posts
and an increase in cabinet salaries.
He also is particularly set against
abolition of the controller general’s
office. This agency was set up as dis
tinct from the executive branch of
the Government and made responsi
ble and accountable only to Congress,
as its particular audit agent Minority
Leader Snell, in the House late yes
terday, also announced the Republican
opposition to this proposal.

Reorganization Committee Meets
The Senate Committee on Government Reorganization, of which Senator Byrd of Virginia
is chairman, is shown as it met yesterday to consider the Brookings Institute recommenda
tions that President Roosevelt be denied the free hand he desires in altering the executive
branch.
The Byrd committee is not expected to handle the measure embodying the President's
recommendations.

ware, Chairman Byrd, Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming and Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Senate majority leader. —Harris & Ewing Photo.
consulting with House leaders prepara
tory to drafting for service seven of
the best qualified members of the
House to serve on the temporary com
mittee to consider the reorganization
proposals.
The Speaker was authorized to ap
point such a committee by the reso
lution, sponsored first by Chairman
Buchanan of the Appropriations Com
mittee, acting as chairman of the
House Reorganization Committee, and
subsequently revised by Chairman
O’Connor to meet the approval of the
Rules Committee.
Legislation sponsored by this new
committee will have privileged status,
the same as measures from the Ap
propriations and Ways and Means
Committee. Similar special authority
was granted tq the Economy Commit
tee several years ago.
Economy and Efficiency.
Chairman O’Connor of the Rules
Committee in charge of the two reso
lutions before the House yesterday said
he "hoped the work of reorganization
might be done in the next two or three
months" and that "substantial econ
omy will result” as well as to promote
a more efficient administrative struc
ture. He emphasized that “costs of
government has increased more than
the entire cost of relief,” and was vig
orously applauded when he said that
"temporary” agencies should be made
to be true to their name, but he had
never yet seen a really "temporary”
governmental agency.
He emphasized that the new special
committee was found to be the best
way to handle the President’s reorgan
ization recommendations as a com
plete Job Instead of dividing them up
among a number of standing commit
tees.
Representative Joseph W. Martin,
Republican, of Massachusetts, rank
ing Republican member of the Rules
Committee, said the Republican mem
bership was not opposing the resolu
tions because It desires to “give the
majority a full chance to bring about
economy, if it can.” He intimated
that he considered an effort Is being
made to absorb a number of so-called
“temporary” agencies into the per
manent Government organization. He

declared "if we are ever to get real
economy through reorganisation it
must be brought in in one bill, with
the power of the President behind it.”

NAVY BAND ORCHESTRA
FEATURES SYMPHONY
Lieut. Benter Present* “Symphony
No. 1 in E Minor,” by Finnish
Master, Jan Sibelius.
AD HE RING to the agreeable policy
at including a complete sym
phony among the concert presenta
tions at the Sail Loft, Lieut. Charles
Benter and the Navy Band Symphony
Orchestra last night featured the
“Symphony No. 1 in E Minor" of the
contemporary Finnish master, Jan
Sibelius.
In this composition, the harmonic
and rhythmical structure of which
stamps the composer as a modern un
der noticeable influence of the old
school, the orchestra exhibited its in
terpretive powers with perhaps the
most aplomb displayed this season.
The major themes, distinctly Slavonic
in character (acknowledged as the
Tschalkovski influence), as well as the
secondary Finnish flavorings, were
brought out with balanced emphasis,
thereby properly characterizing the
individuality of the composer. This
work with its typically masterful
Sibelius orchestration is exacting and
encompassing in its scope of the or
chestra. Virtually every section, as
well as several solo instruments, have
prominent passages throughout to tax
the ability of the musicians—the
nostalgic andante suddenly released
into a nervous scherzo tempo out
burst; the energetic and complicated
scherzo, allegro, and the climactic
final movement personified by three
separate surges of power subsiding to
calm and conclusion.
Ambroise Thomas’ overworked “Mig
non” overture from the Frenchman’s
chief operatic success was a bright
opening, which preceded Rubinstein’s
dreamy "Kamenoi-Ostrev.” An Amer
ican tang depicting cowboys and don
keys, “On the Trail" (Ferde Orofe, of
course, from his “Grand Canyon
Suite”) was rendered in the tradi
tional light concert manner. Lieut.
Benter procured a delectable arrange
ment of “Tales from Vienna Woods”
and forthwith added to his popularity.
