PREDICTS ARREST
Fitts Says “Ringleader” of Plot
Against Him to Be Caught.
LOS ANGELES, May 15 <(P).—Dis
trict Attorney Burton Fitt$, return
ing here by airplane from Oakland,
Calif., predicted today the arrest of
the “ringleader” in an alleged paid
plot to assassinate him last March
7, when Fitts was shot in the arm.
The district attorney claimed after
questioning two men in Oakland it
was definitely established the attack
ers were ex-convicts sent to prison
through his prosecution.
Fitts said an Oakland informant
reported the attackers were to be
paid $1,000 for killing him. When
the ambush resulted only in the
prosecutor's injury they received only
$200.

U. S,DU PONT SUIT
“You’re Going Too Far,”
Says Disney in Ruling Out
Mrs. Raskob Deals.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.—Pierre S.
du Pont’s 1931 stock transactions with
■ Mrs. John J. Raskob were ruled out
of the 1929 income tax case against,
Du Pont and John J. Raskob yester
day, curtailing the Government's ef
fort to prove the two multi-million
aires' made fictitious cross-sales of
stock after the Wall Street panic
to reduce their income tax payments.
Richard L. Disney of the United
States Board of Tax Appeals barred
the Du Pont-Mrs. Raskob transaction
from the record and remarked to
Mason B. Leming, the chief of Gov
ernment counsel:
"I think you’re going just a little
too far.”
The Government, however, was
given the leeway to go beyond the
limits of 1929 and 1930 and bring
out financial matters between Raskob
and Du Pont in 1931.
L. J. Schwartz, an associate Gov
ernment counsel, said Disney’s ruling
on the 1931 transaction between Mrs.
Raskob and Du Pont would also keep
out several other cross-sales which
the Government had hoped to enter
into evidence.
‘‘We should finish our side of the
Du Pont case early Monday," Schwartz
said.
James S. Y. Ivins, chief counsel for
Du Pont, said he would probably open
his side of the case with the elderly
titular head of the wealthy Delaware
family as the first witness.
Du Pont and Raskob obtained a
severance of their cases and Du Pont’s
is being heard first. Both of them,
however, have been side by side in the
hearing room, in the old Post Office
Building, since the entering of evi
dence began Monday of last week.
After the argument over the admis
sability of the Du Pont-Mrs. Raskob
; transactions, and Disney's ruling, the
I hearing was adjourned over the week
I end.
.The Government contends the cross
sales of securities in November and
December, 1929, which enabled the
two industrialists to establish losses
of more than $7,000,000 on their re
turns, were accompanied by a repur
chasing agreement contrary to the
revenue act of 1928. making the losses
not deductible.
Du Pont paid a tax of $4,563,988 for
1929 and Raskob $1,183,334. The
Government seeks a deficiency of
$617,316 from Du Pont and $1,026,340
; from Raskob.
! In going behind the November-De
| cember cross-sales, and the subsequent
repurcha.se of the same blocks of se
| curities in January of the folkwing
< year, the Government sought to show1
1 the existence of similar transactions
ana a similarity of intent in making
fictitious transactions to establish un
warranted losses.
EDUCATION FACILITIES
LACKING, SAYS HOPKINS
W. P. A. Program Inadequate for
Needs of Nation, Teachers’
College Is Told.
B.v the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15 —Harry L.
Hopkins, Works Progress adminis
trator, said today the public educa
tional facilities in the United States
“have fallen a long way short of meet
ing the educational needs of adults.”
In an address at Teachers’ College,
Columbia University, Hopkins said,
“We thought that by concentrating on
the young we could develop an edu
cated Nation, and it seems to me that
we were wrong.”
“It is impossible.” he continued, “to
crowd into the few years of elementary
and secondary schooling all the train
ing and knowledge needed to under
stand our complicated and changing
social system.
“Under the W. P. A. we have tried
to make a beginning in the develop
ment of a broad program of social
education which would meet the In
terests and needs of adults—a program
which would aim to make education
fit the needs of industrial democracy,
which would take care of some of the
countless numbers of people who are
either too young or too old to be taken
care of by our public schools. We
don't claim by any means to have es
tablished an adequate program.”
JEALOUS WOMAN FIRES
OLD TEMPLE IN JAPAN
By the Associated Press.
NARA, Japan, May 15.—Ancient

PERCY L. GASSAWAY.
OF HEARTAITACK
Former House Member Ridi
culed Long’s Plan to
Share the Wealth.
By the Associated Press.
COALGATE. Okla.. May 15.—Percy
L. Gassaway, Oklahoma's former
"Cowboy Congressman," died at 8 a m.
today in an ambulance en route to
Ada after suffering a heart attack at
his ranch home near here.
He was 51 years old.
Gassaway, whose cowboy hat, high
boots and Western mannerisms be
came widely known in Washington,
was defeated for re-election last No
vember by Lyle Boren of Seminole.
Gassaway was a leader in Demo
cratic politics in Southeastern Okla
homa and was a former district judge.
During his one term in Congress he
ridiculed the late Senator Huey P.
Long's ‘'share-the-wealth" plan. Gas
saway proposed facetiously that 10.000
‘‘Gassaway plans ’ clubs be established
to lobby for a *10.000 annual income
for each head of a family, against
$5,000 mentioned by the Louisiana
Senator.
As a district judge, Gassaway sen
tenced a Negro to death, then went
to the penitentiary to watch the exe
cution in the Oklahoma electric chair.
"I enjoyed myself very much,” he
said. ‘‘I am always glad to witness
an execution, because it gives me
greater confidence in men.”
He witnessed 11.
Gassaway suffered the heart attack
shortly after arising this morning.
Members of the family said he had
suffered several light attacks pre
viously, but none was serious. He had
recently spent most of his time work
ing on the ranch and practicing law.
Surviving are his widow, three sons,
and three daughters.

CUT HELD LIKELY
Farm Measure May Be Re
duced to $20,000 Instead
of $135,000,000.
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt’s desire for farm
tenancy aids on a "skeleton scale"
raised discussion today of cutting the
proposed $135,000,000 fund to only
$20,000,000 of $50,000,000.
Chairman Jones of the House Agri
culture Committee, sponsor of the
original measure, said he would rather
put off aiding tenants until next year
than set up a small-scale program.
He added, however, he expected to
discuss tenancy and other farm prob
lems with the President before his
committee acts.
House consideration of these meas
ures has been deferred by the current
economy campaign.
Possible Reductions.
Members of the Agriculture Com
mittee suggested the President’s
demand for cutting the cost of the
program might be met as follows:
For low-interest loans to aid ten
ants and share-croppers in buying
farms: $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 in
stead of $50,000,000.
For Government purchase of sub
marginal lands: $10,000,000, the
amount proposed in the original bill.
For rehabilitation loans to low
income farmers for purchase of sup
plies and equipment: Nothing. In
stead of setting up a special $75,000,
000 fund for this purpose, members
suggested such loans might be made
out of relief funds.
New Act May Be Discussed.
Leaders of major farm organizations
met today to discuss a new agricul
tural adjustment act, proposed by the
Executive Council of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Edward A. O’Neal, president of the j
federation, declared the bill expressed j
"100 per cent” President Roosevelt’s \
aim to avoid extreme highs and lows
in farm prices.
Details of the proposal were not I
made public, but O'Neal said its aims
would be accomplished through Gov- j
ernment loans on crops and a penalty j
tax on farmers w-ho produce more
than their quota.

ander, 47-year-old tailor of Rockford, ;
where Brockelhurst lived.

speeding east by plane and Texas au
| thorities announced they had dis

Brockelhurst is wanted in the South
j western State for the killing of Victor
Gates of Little Rock May 6 and in
Texas for the slaying of Jack Griffith,
! Fort Worth tavern keeper.
■ The three States also seek Brockel
hurst's girl companion, 18-year-old
Bernice Felton of Rockford, who pro
fessed her love for him when they !
were arrested Thursday. A State
| trooper stopped their car when he
1 noticed it bore only one license plate. ;
Gellert announced that Dutchess
County will not relinquish custody cf
i either prisoner until after a hearing
next Monday on the gun-toting
charges.
Before leaving Lonoke. Prosecutor
Melton said he had been informed
New York would not release either
Brockelhurst or the girl to any State
until the claims of Arkansas. Illinois
and Texas all had been heard.
I “There is no doubt in my mind that
i Brockelhurst will be given the death
! penalty and speedily executed if re
turned to Arkansas," Melton declared
“We will not seek the extreme penalty
i for the girl if we get them, but w’ill
; ask that she be given a long prison
: sentence."
Brings Extradition Papers.
Melton said he was bringing with
him extradition papers signed by Gov.
Carl E Bailey of Arkansas.
Sheriff Johnson said he had not
brought extradition papers, but added:
I “I understand that Brockelhurst will
waive extradition.-’

| no further move pending the arrival

i Brockelhurst and his companion
were picked up Thursday night at
| Dover Plains near here, riding in a
car which Lieut. H. A. Gay of the
State police said belonged to Gates—
