May Modify Stand on Hold ing Companies Eelieved That Stand Taken by Presi dent May Ee Modified to Aid in Recovery. WASHINGTON', Jan. 13 (UP) Conservative new deal advisers be lieved today that President Roose velt would modify his strong stand against holding companies to avoid industrial and congressional backfire and to foster further business co operation with government against the economic recession. Railroads and banks appeared most in jeopardy of holding company legis lation designed by Mr. Roosevelt to decentralize control over industry and finance. Biggest bar to general administra tion assault on the holding company principle would be congressional op position which failed by only a single vote in 1935 to defeat in the senate the limited death sentence proposed for public utilities holding companies. Some observers believed, also, that an effort to outlaw all holding com panies would endanger plans for busi ness cooperation with government to improve economic conditions. Congresional reaction was mixed, ranging from the statement of Sen. Robert J. Rulkley. D., Ohio, that he "never could see any justification for holding companies" to the tart remark of Sen. Alva D. Adams, D., Colo., that "if we want economic anarchy, why not go further and do away with all corporations." Sen. Royal S. Copeland, D., X. Y., another conservative, suggested the time was propitious to encourage in dustry rather than further regulate it. ' ' ' Some of Mr. Roosevelt's congres sional supporters appeared to be confused and disappointed by his co incident plans to cooperate with business and abolish all holding com auies in the economic structure. Sen. Sherman Minton. D., Ind., however, stuck to his new deal guns with an endorsement of Mr. Roose velt's general death sentence. STATE G.O.P.

Friday proposed a constitutional amendment requiring a national ref erendum before congress can draft citizens for military service outside the United States or its territories. His proposal was introduced in the House in c joint resolution modifying the Ludlow resolution for a majority vote of the electorate before war can be declared abroad, which the house refused to consider Monday. Under Magnuson's proposed amend ment, congress could present for the people's vote this question: "Shall the government of the Unit ed States, for the duration of war, conscript any of its citizens for mil itary service outside the territorial boundaries of the United States?" WAITRESS GETS AWARD: TRIPPED BY A PEG LEG BIXGHANTOX, X. Y. (UP) An unusual variation of the apparently endless theme of mishaps has be fallen Margaret Mavnix, 32-year-old waitress, who was awarded five weeks compensation for tripping over a diner's wooden leg "in the course of employment." The woman, in following instruc tions on a compensation court form to "state in the patient's own words how the accident occurred,' wrote: "I was tripped by a man with wooden leg. I fell and he fell over me, striking his wooden leg against my left knee joint and scratching my right elbow." FIND BODIES HARWICK, Pa., Jan. 13 (UP) Penetrating a wall of deadly gas res cue crews equipped with gas masks today leached the bodies of the last two men who were among the 10 killed in an explosion at the mine of the Harwick Coal and Coke company. The bodies were those of Charles Ciesilski, 44. and Tony Woinor, both of Harwick. The fact that 51S men usually working in the mine were off yester day prevented the "local explosion" from being a catastrophy that might have been equal to the disaster at the mine in 1904 when 179 were killed. LETTINGS BRING BIDDERS LINCOLN, Jan. 15 (UP) The Jan uary letting of the state highway department attracted more competi tion from bidders than anv other let ting in the state's history, State Engi neer A.

French Exile May End for Abd-E!-Krim Moroccan Warrior Called Staunchly Pro-French Now in Report Aid to France Seen PARIS (UP) During the recent meeting of the North African Co ordination Committee in Paris, in the course of which former Premier Al bert Saraut, president of the com mittee laid down the general out lines of wide-scale reforms which are to be carried out in Morocco, Algeria and Tunis, the question of the eventual return of Abd-el-Krim (o his motherland was discussed. The question was breached by M. Lucien Gasparin, member of Parlia ment for Reunion Island where Abd-el-Krim has been in exile during the past 11 years. M. Gasparin pleaded eloquently in favor of Abd-el-Krim. He read a letter from Major Verities, former commander of the Reunion gendarmerie, in whose charge Abd-el-Krini was placed. Major Verines stated in his letter that he "could personally guarantee that the senti ments of the Moroccan chief were now very pro-French." Aid to France Seen. Verines continued by pointing out that in his present state of mind the return of Abd-el-Krim to Morocco "could not fail to be of . the greatest use to us in fighting certain anti French propaganda which is now be ing carried on in Morocco." In further defense of Abd-el-Krim's francophile sentiments it was mentioned that his five sons all have received a truly French education in the Reunion college and that the eldest is soon to join the French army. Replying to these arguments. Sar- raut said that he would give the ques tion a thorough examination and that, "if a return to Morocco which has already been discussed several times should not be possible, I will nevertheless study the possibility of Abd-el-Krim's taking up residence in France." Propaganda Fight Declared In conjunction with this discus sion the members of the North African Coordination committee ex amined the increasing anti-French propaganda which is being carried on in Morocco. Sarraut said he was determined to fight propaganda being carried on "by foreign powers." He said a plan for intensified counter propaganda by radio was being put into effect and that French authorities would not hesitate to carry out wholesale expul sions of the troublemakers. He promised that everything would be done to better the lot of the na tive, both socially and economically, but the government, he said was de termined to put down any subversive movement, from whatever political party it might come, with a firm hand. NEBRASKA SHERIFFS STOPPED LINCOLN, Jan. 15 (UP) Not even State Sheriff William Flake can escape suspicion as a "fugitive ban dit" when the Missouri state high way patrol is on the job. Flake, Sheriff Irvin Gates of Falls City and Sheriff Tom Dunn of Bea trice were driving to Pocahontas, Arkansas to attempt identification of three suspected criminals. Near Columbus, Missouri the three officers were stopped at a filling sta tion by state troopers who were look ing for bandits who staged a holdup at Bnookfield, Missouri. The Xebras- ka sheriffs were released after being searched and identifying themselves. MAKE GRUESOME FIND PAGO PAGO, Samoa, Jan. 15 (UP) Human bones and a man's shirt were taken today from the stomach of a shark caught on the north shore of Tutuila Island near where the Samoan Clipper exploded and sank with Captain Edwin C. Musick and a crew of six Tuesday morning. The shark was caught by a native. There were a man's ribs, arm and thigh bone in the find. The waters are infested with man-eating sharks which grow to the length of 13 feet and are among the most ferocious in any waters. ACCIDENT WITHIN ACCIDENT KIMBALL, Nebr., Jan. 15 (UP) An "accident-with-an-accident" took the life of Ira "Buddy" Ledinghanv 18-year-old Kimball youth at Casper Wyo., hospital last night. Ledingham was fatally shot Dec. 28 while at tempting to pry open the cab window of his overturned truck with the butt of a loaded shotgun. Raymond, a brother, and another companion escaped uninjured. The two 'Souths made their home here with their grandmother and an aunt, Mrs. Lena Ledingham, and Myrtle Ledingham. Need Rehabili tation for Prison Men Released Secretary of State Points Way for a Reform in the Handling of Social Problem. LINCOLN. Jan. 15 (UP) Millions for punishment, but hardly a cent for rehabilitation. That, to Secretary of State Harry R. Swanson who this week attended his 55th pardon board hearing in the past five years, is the strange paradox of the American way of handling criminals. Swanson, serving his third term as secretary of state and ex-officio member of the pardon board, thinks it's all wrong. He believes society should do something more than it now does for the man who has com pleted his term. Nebraska gives the released peni tentiary or reformatory inmate $10 in cash, a suit of clothes and his dis charge papers. "The prisoner is supposed to have discharged his debt to society," he said, "but society hasn't discharged its debt to him. The $10 won't last ten days; the prison-made suit is nothing more than that, and dis charge papers aren't very effective in landing a job." "From my vantage point on the board of pardons, it seems incongru ous that society should spend millions to punish men and hardly a cent to rehabilitate them. "For parolees, it isn't so bad. You have to have a job after you get out before the board will grant a parole. But the man who serves out his time stands very little chance of finding an opportunity to go straight." Swanson proposed a system of re habilitation camps, similar to CCC camps, for "one-time" losers and younger convicts who had been dis charged. "Or use some of the CCC camps themselves," he suggested. "We now have a shortage in CCC en rollment. This would be a wise in vestment to give these men a better start toward useful lives." RELIEF HIGH IN YORK COUNTY YORK, Xeb., Jan. 13 (UP) The report of relief activities in York county during 1937 as compiled by Mrs. Camilla Krcmer, relief director shows that one person out of every four in York county now is receiv ing some form of relief. The report shows that 4,4 04 persons are receiv ing assistance in some form or othei . One of the few encouraging thing3 about the report, however, was the disclosure that former relief clients had repaid the relief office $535.85 for funds which had been expended on them. SEEK TO OBTAIN JUDGMENT LIXCOLX, Jan. 13 (UP) The fed eral farm mortgage corporation to day appealed to the state supreme court in an effort to obtain the $1, 999. S9 judgment against Arie R. Mul der. Johnson county farmer repre senting the amount allegedly to be due on a $2,500 loan made in 1936. The federal agency held a second mortgage on some of Mulder's farm property but proceeds of a foreclosure sale were insufficient to repay the loans. District Judge Virgil Falloon denied the corporation a return of attachment against the property. LAST CALL! MEN'S FINE DRESS SHIRTS $ 4 .oo La Only a few left.
