SOVIET WOMEN MOBILIZED FOR FACTORY JOBS Thousands Are Attracted From Kitchens in Drive to Speed Production. By United Press MOSCOW, March 9.—The Soviet government, under personal leadership of Premier Viacheslav Molofov and Josef V. Stalin, has flung its economic challenge to the “caplalistlc world” and simultaneously ummoned the nation to greater effort in its program of socialization. Opening the all union congress of Soviets, Molotov Sunday night warned foreign nations against restrictions of Soviet exports and defended working conditions in the Soviet against foreign charges of 'slave labor.” The premier’s keynote address to the congress—promising ‘‘a full victory” for Socialism—was made more ignificant by other moves toward intensification of the Soviet economic drive in the congress and in other government departments. Forced Labor Is Denied rhe moves included: Opening of a nation-wide mobilization of women for industrial employment, with plans to draw ome 1,600,000 wives and daughters who are now devoted to domestic duties, into industry to meet the shortage of workers. An invitation by Molotov to foreign newspapers to investigate labor conditions in Russia. An intensified program of antireligious education in the kindergarten and elementary schools of the country under order of the commissariat of education. Defending the Soviet against charges of forced labor and socalled "dumping” of Soviet products, Molotov told the 3,000 men and women delegates from all sections of the nation that there were 1,000,000 free laborers in north Russia as compared to 60,000 prisoners engaged in building roads, canals and other works. He said the prisoners were well fed, had good houses, work only eight hours a day and receive 30 roubles (nominally sls) a month in cldition to room and board. Thousands Quit Kitchens The mobilization of women for factory work signalized the celebration of the annual international women’s day, and brought to the front the propaganda to attract thousands of women out of the kitchens and into the factories. Enormous sums have been asIgned by the government for the building of communal kitchens, day nurseries and kindergartens to free women from domestic duties. In the Moslem regions, particularly in central Asia, hundreds of towns and villages witnessed more unveilings of women as part of public demonstrations. Bonfires usually are made of the veils which for centuries hid the Asiatic women from the world. NEGRO DIES OF BURNS Kerosene Can Exploded In Attempt to Build Fire.

Kept Her Butter and Egg Proceeds, and Asked No Funds From Husband. BY ARCH STEINEL NASHVILLE, Ind., March 9. The idiosyncracies of a farm wife who kept her butter and egg money for her very own and never asked for a “cut” when her husband sold a hog may turn the Lee Brown farm murder into another gold hunt. With snow covering the ruins of the home where two torsos were found last December both Brown county officials and state officers admitted that anew search of the ruins would be mde with three purposes in view: To find a third body and identify it as that of Mrs. Brown. To find a .25-caliber automatic pistol the slayer used in committing his crime. To find the separate fortune of Mrs. Brown. From the time of the finding of

DUVALL HOME AGAIN; SI,OOO FINEIS RAISED Former Mayor Saved From Three-Year Jail Term by Friends. His SI,OOO fine and costs paid through activities of Republican politicians who evidently feared threats to "tell all,’’ John L. Duvall, former mayor, today was free after serving a thirty-day jail tefm on his criminal court conviction under the corrupt practices act. Duvall returned to his home, 6325 Bellefontaine avenue, from the Marion county jail late Saturday after an unidentified man paid his fine with cash and a S2OO check signed by Schuyler Haas, corporation counsel under Duvall, present Seventh district Republican chairman and Coffin ally. The ex-mayor’s jail term expired Thursday, but he was not released pending payment of the fine and costs. Thursday, in a statement to The Times, Duvall charged George V. (Boss) Coffin with trying to keep him in jail to prevent him from “talking.” He declared Coffin was promising favors to Duvall’s former friends if they would cease efforts to raise money'to pay the fine, thus forcing the former mayor to serve out the fine at the rate of $1 a day, which would keep him in Jail nearly three years. Duvall was convicted in September, 1927, of promising William H. Armitage, Republican politician, he could name two works board members in return for a campaign contribution. Duvall went to jail Feb. 5, when the supreme court upheld his conviction. Suicide Complex Alleged By Timet Special MARION, Ind., March 9.—Jack Zeigler, former “fire eater,” is in custody here, authorities charging he has a suicide complex. In his most recent attempt at death, he took poison. Previously he left a note saying he intended to jump into the water of a quarry hole, but voluntarily came to police headquarters and admitted “I lost my nerve.” Lee Brown and his wife were wedded in all respects with the exception of finances. “When she’d sell butter and eggs she kept the money. When he sold something he kept the money. If she borrowed change from him she paid him back,” one farmer acquaintance of the Browns said. Out of this rumor has grown the speculation that Mrs. Brown wore a money belt and that the slayer of the familly made away with her fortune, hid her body, and only slew Paul Brown, the son, when he was surprised in the act of killing the parents or in ransacking the house following the double murder. Definite medical advice that the bodies found in the home were two males has reopened the search for the third body, a pistol and a second fortune in bonds or gold.

THE RACE IS OVER!

‘But the Work Never Is Done’

By United Press WASHINGTON, March 9. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court, briefly and succinctly summarized his philosophy of life —and death—on the radio Sunday night. Speaking on the ninetieth anniversary of his birth, Holmes, sitting in his home here, bade a valiant, high-hearted farewell to a full and fr fitful life. Tribute such as is rarely paid to any individual in this country was accorded Holmes by .Chief Justice Charles Evans ffughes. Dean Charles B. Clark of the Yale law school, and Charles A. Boston, president of the American Bar Association. The program was broadcast over the nation-wide Columbia chain. While Clark and Boston spoke from the Columbia studios in New York, and Hughes from the Washington studio, Holmes spoke into a microphone set up for the occasion in his home. His speech was brief and pointed. He said: In this symposium my part is only to sit in silence. To express one’s feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task, but I may mention one thought which comes to me as a listener-in. The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the

And to say to oneself, “The work is done.” But, just as one says that, the answer comes, “The race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.” The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It can not be while you still live,' for to live is to function. It Is all there is in living, and so I end with a line from the Latin poet who uttered the message more than 1,000 years ago: “Death plucks my ear and says—‘Live, I am coming.’ ” There was a slight but unmistakable break in the veteran jurist's voice as he concluded.

BOY IS TIED ON RAILWAY TRACK Rolls Off as Train Roars On; Blames Playmates. By United Press EVANSTON. HI., March 9—William Erlandson Jr.. 8. was recovering today from shock and fright experienced when four playmates who said they “didn’t like him” bound him securely with rope and left him on a Northwestern railroad track. William struggled and cried for almost half an hour, but neither could squirm himself loose nor roll off the track. Then he heard a train coming and by almost superhuman effort managed to roll over the rails, off the track and down a steep embankment. The train roared past a minute later. A railroad employe found William about twenty minutes later and took him home, hysterical. The four boys whom William named and who admitted to police his story was true, are only a little older than he. De Pauw Books Butler By Times Speci'tl GREENCASTLE, Ind., March 9.
