GREENSBURG, Pa., Feb. 11
(AP).—Kevin Butler, 33-year-old
building firm executive and son of
Justice Pierce Butler of the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
died early today, less than 24 hours
after he was injured in a fall from
a speeding train.
Physicians who five hours pre-
viously had administered a blood
transfusion said the member of the
firm of Kevin Butler and brothers
had died of shock and severe in-
juries. These included a skull frac-
ture torn scalp, face and head lac-
erations and internal injuries.
Gathered at the bedside were his
wife, Martha: a twin sister, Mrs.
Ann Butler Dunne of Baltimore;
his mother, and his mother-in-law
Mrs. John C. Knox, wife of Federal
Judge Knox of the southern dis-
trict of New York.
They had been given rooms in
the hospital, while a brother, Leo
shippers and produce men who
yesterday obtained a restraining
order against the collection of un-
employment taxes. Carpenter said
the commission already recognized
that there are serious doubts as to
whether certain operations of the
industries come within provisions
of the act.
At Austin, Pat Moreland, labor’s
representative of the unemploy-
ment commission, said the com-
mission welcomed a legal test to
clarify the issue of exemptions to
the compensation tax law.
District Judge Cullen Briggs,
Corpus Christi, issued a temporary
injunction against collection of the
taxes from the petitioners, pending
a test of the law.
Talk of this delay’ came while;

BUCHAREST, Rumania. Feb.
• 11 (AP).—A new government with
dictatorial powers governed Ru-
mania today commissioned' by
King Carol to restore confidence
shaken by the six-week adminis-

Octavian Goga.
Sixty-eight-year old Dr. Miron
Cristea, patriarch of the Rumanian
Orthodox church, is the new pre-
• mier and ho will rule without par-
liament by decree until a new con-
stitution is promulgated.
' He acted quickly upon taking
the oath of fealty to the king with
four sweeping decrees which:
, 1. Named military garrisons
commandants of large cities as
prefects of their districts.
2. Made nation-wide "state of
siege” by which persons charged j
• with serious crimes may be tried
before military courts. (Bucharest
and other iarger cities have been
under such “siege for a number of
years.)
3. Postponed indefinitely cham-
ber and senate elections, set for
March.
4. Ordered higher officials of vil-
lages to -all assemblies for the
naming oi mayors and two assist-
ants to each mayor.
Centre-Liberal Gabinet
The cabinet formation was a cen-
tre and liberal group, so that an
order"suspending .all party activi-
ties appeared primarily directed
against the fascist-inclined iron
guard group headed by Cornelius
Codreanu.
The decree naming military com-
mandants as prefects placed the >
nation’s civil administration under
military control. Telegrams from
the premier’s office authorized the
commandants to assume the pre-
fectural duties to "preserve order.”
. The hand of the king was evi-
dent in every move of the new gov-
ernment, which Carol formed by
cutting across lines of political
parties after the collapse of Goga’s
regime yesterday.
It was emphasized at the palace,

The Ward county seat will remain

Judge J. A. Drane. 109th dis-
trict court, by agreement of oppos-
ing counsel, yesterday held invalid
the election which favored the re-
moval of the county seat from

was 1,149 to 467 In favor of the
change, but Barstow residents at-

They contended many unqualified
voters had participated and that
the election had violated a statute
requiring that 10 years elapse be-
tween elections for the removal of
cpunty seats.
The court’s judgment gave Mon-
ahans the privilege of calling an-

WASHINGTON.-Feb 11 (AP).
The senate defeated today, a move
to delay action on the administra-
tion farm program.
It voted down a request to send
the compromise farm legislation
back to conference with the house
which already has appoved the bill.
The vote was 48 to 31.
Western senators asked that the
bill be sent to a senate-house con-
ference because changes were
made in a provision intended to
protect dairy and livestock pro-
ducersfrom competition with
farmers who reduced their plant-
ings of'corn, wheat, cotton, to-
bacco and rice.
