Chamberlain withheld the name
of the man Vass said murdered
Miss Brown pending an investiga-
tion of his story.
Vass, a machinist who has lived
here 10 years,, said he decided to
tell all he knew because his silence
had troubled him. He had been a-
fraid to talk bfore. He asked to be
taken before Texas authorities.
Vass said the slaying occurred
in a Dallas real estate office where
Miss Brown was a stenographer.
He told Chamberlain of walking in-
to the office about opening time
just in time to witness the slaying.
The killer slashed the girl's throat
three times and hit her with a
hammer, he said.
"The murderer drew a gun on
me," Vass said, "and threatened my
life if I ever told."
Government Ownership for Railroads
Touched on by High Off kail of Ry.
WASHINGTON, March 17,. (UK)
—-Frasident Fred W. Sargent of
tho Chicago Northwestern Rail-
read warned congress today that
unlets it empowers the railway*
to make sweeping administrate
iin and operation changes, gov-
ernment ownership is "the only
n t y out."
Ssrgent submitted an eight-
point proposal for rehabilitation
of the *23,000,000,000 (B) indus-
try to the senate railway finance
inquiry 4s President Roosevelt
imd a group of rail experts stud-
iaci methods of solving the econ-
omic and financial ills of the
carriers.'
The plan was advanced by Sar-
ifjlt as he joined Patrick H. Joyce
president of the Chicago and
Great Western, if) protest against
alleged attempts by the American
Association of railroads to "squ-
eeze" the trunk railrqad lines cf
tie n: id-west.
fsU'lsring the necessity of fed-
eral loans at interest rates no
greater than the government lit-
sjlf has to pay, Sargent sugges-
ted the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission be empowered to require
pooling and coordination of rail-
roads where it will produce effic-
iency and economies and not in-
jure the service.
The ICC also should have pow-
er to revise working schedules
to remedy a situation in which
he said, 25 per cent of the car-
riert,' expenditures for wages Is
non-productive.
He asked that congress prohib-
it all free transportation, repeal
requirements for reduction in
rates because of land grant pro-
vi*i6n , and amend the motor ve-
hicle act to permit railroads to
compete in the truck industry
without present restrictions..
Ae a "long range" program
Sargent suggested a federal
"consolidation board" be establish
ed to link the nation's railroads
into a few transcontinental sys-
tems, with a permanent rate-mak-
ing policy to enable the carrier?
to support their financial struc-
ture.
He also urged a permanent la-
bor policy wWeh would eliminate
labor's right to strike; federal in-
corporation of all roads, and vest-
ing in congress instead of the
states the power to fix rates of
interstate carriers.
Sajxcnt urged that reconstruc-
tion finance corporation loans be
made available immediately to
supplement the 5 per cent in-
crease in freight rates granted
by the ICC last weak, which, he
said was insufficient to meet the
crisis.
Questioned by Sen, Harry S
Truman, D., Mo., acting chairman
of committee, he admitted that it
"might be" the first step toward
government ownership. "But if
nothing is done, government own-
ership is the only way out," he
added.
Joycc bitterly denounced the
railroad association as being dom-
inated by the Great Transcintin-
ental Road, and described as a
"waste of time" any attempts by
the smaller trunk lines to appeal
to the association for readjust-
ment of joint rates.

Many Crimes
DALLAS, March 11 <U,R> —Po-
lice held a signed statement today
from J. C. Miles, 23, negro, in
which he allegedly admitted crimi-
nal assault on two white women
and the robbery of more than 20
couples parked on "Lovers Lane"
near White Rock Lake.
Hours of grilling broke down the
silence of the Ntgro, who first re-
fused to talk after telling police:
"I'm afraid you'd send me to the
electric chair if I admitted any-
thing."
A score of persons viewed the
sukpeit and tentatively identified
him as the "bleak bandit" of
Lovers Lane.
Several spooning couples charg-
ed that the negro bandit made
them strip off their clothing while
while he pointed a gun at them.
He then took their money and left.

Girl Improves
Due to Operation
KANSAS CITY, Mo„ March 11
(U.R)—Twenty year old Sylva Eu-
genia Davis was improving today
although physicians kept her in
the artificial respirator where she
was placed after anoperation on
which she staked her life in hope
of paralysis of her legs and arms.
The girl's mother, Mrs. Carlos
Davis, felt that "everything is
going to be all right—I have a
hunch on these things, and 1 am
sure I'm not wrong on this one."
Miss Davis, afflicted by spas-
tic paralysis since birth, was
"cheerful" today, her mother said
Physicians believed the girl would
live but said that success of the
hazardous operation on her spinal
cord probably would not be known
for some time.
Success would mean that the
girl, for the first time, would
have control of her limbs, muscu-

for treasure
Hunt Devised
GULF PORT, Miss. <U.B—Philip
Lamey, who spent the best part of
his 40 years and about $1,600 in
cash looking for buried treasure, is
not discouraged because he found
only 86 cents and a tarnished
spoon. He has invented a "ma-
chine", he said, that will "really
find" treasures now.
In fact, boasted the versatile but
luckless Lamey, he has invented
two machines—one to find gold,
another to'find silver. Lamey hint-
ed of a "big treasure sunk between
here and Florida—half a shipload
of gold, that my grandfather knew
about," and proudly informed that
gold-finding invention had
said. "This means that landlords,
tenants, share croppers, farmers
who own their farms, banks, com-
panies, or corporations, or any oth-
er individual or organization con- j
nected with a farm producing cot-
ton last year have one vote each."
"Marketing quotas" means that
each cotton farm will be given a
cotton acreage allotment, which
will be the same as the acreage al-
lotment determined for the farm
under the 1988 Agricultural Con-
servation Program.
If two-thirds of the cotton pro-
ducers vote for cotton quotas, both
the cotton quotas and the Agricul-
tural Conservation program will be
in effect. If more than one-third of
the cotton producers voting in the
referendum are against the cotton
quotas, only the conservation pro-
gram, similar to that of the past
two years, will be offered.
If quotas are favored by cotton
farmers, each farm will receive an
acreage allotment and all cotton
produced in 1988 from this acreage
may be sold tax free. If the 1988
planted cotton acreage exceeds the
cotton acreage allotment for the
farm, the cotton produced will not
be subject to the tax unless the to-
tal pounds of cotton exceeds the
poundage of the marketing quota.
This poundage. Slaughter added,
will be determined by multiplying
the cotton acreage allotment by the
normal lint yield an acre, which
will be assigned the farm by the
county committee.
'Here's the way it works," said
Slaughter. "Suppose I got a cotton
acreage allotment of 80 acres and
my normal yield is set at 100
pounds an acre, that makes my
marketing quota 30 acres times 100
pounds, or 3,000 pounds, which is
my normal production.
"Now suppose^hat I plant my 30
acres, and make 200 pounds an
acre, or 6,000 pounds, twice my
normal allotment. I'm not taxed,
because the new farm act says my
marketing quota is ray normal pro-
duction, or my actual production
on my allotted acres, whichever is
greater.
"Now if I planted 40 acres and
made 76 pounds an acre, or 3,000
pounds, I still would not be taxed,
because 3,000 pounds is my normal
production. Even if I planted 40
acres and made 100 pounds an
acre, or 4,000 pounds, I would only
be taxed for 1,000 paijnds. I could
Store that extra 1,000 pounds and
sell It in 1939 if I had a short crop
and only produced 2,000 pounds,
or 1,000 pounds less than my nor-
mal production."
Slaughter urged that every eligi-
ble person vote in the March 12
referendum. 'A big vote is neces-
Sary if the result of the referen-
dum is to express the true will of
the cotton producers," he said.
