MURRAY WOULD TAX POLITICIANS TO HELP NEEDY Urges 10 Per Cent Levy Be Put on All Federal, State Workers. BY MERRELL E. COMPTON L'nltd Press Staff Correspondent MEMPHIS, Term., Aug. 24.—Two plans to relieve unemployment were offered by Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma today at the opening o's the Mississippi valley unemployment conference which he summoned. He proposed that: 1. State and national government employes be taxed 10 per cent of their salaries so funds for relief may be increased. 2. The federal government match states with dollar for dollar in construction of "all weather roads,” to be built as far as possible with man power, rather than mechanical equipment. Governor Murray said the relief problem is as serious as the two he already is engaged in—the opening of toll bridges and closing of oil wells until the price reaches $1 a barrel. The Governor, wearing a freshly starched cotton suit with his pockets bulging with newspaper clippings, headed the Oklahoma delegation. He arrived Sunday and set up headquarters in the city’s leading hotel, occupying the “Lindbergh suite.” United States Senator Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee, was chosen to call the conference to order. “I do not desire to dictate "to this conference,” the white - haired Governor told delegates in preconvention meetings. “The big thing is to decide how shall we relieve distress this winter. We can wait until next year to discuss the tariff and other things which may have contributed to this condition.”

GAB CRUSHED, ENGINEER DIES I Loses Life When Collapsing Gravel Bin Traps Him. Last rites will be held at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon in Ben Davis Christian church for William A. Loutt, 45, of 1339 South Glenn Arm avenue, railroad engineer, killed when a gravel bin collapsed and trapped him in the cab of his locomotive Saturday night. Failing to make a coupling the first time, Loutt followed six sandladen cars as they broke away from their chocks in the yards of the American Aggregates Corporation, 1400 West Raymond street. When he succeeded in making the coupling the weight of the cars dragged his locomotive beneath the gravel bin, which the cab of the locomotive struck, causing it to collapse. f E. F. Dalton, 54, of 106 North Elder avenue, brakeman, saw the bin falling, and leaped to safety. James Woodall, 48, of 1621 Howard street, also saw the danger, shouted to Loutt, and jumped from the cab. Dalton was scalded, but not seriously, by steam from the engine. Surviving Mr. Loutt are the widow, Mrs. Rebecca B. Loutt, and a son, Ray Loutt, 15. A brother, Jesse Loutt. is an engineer on the Belt railroad.

$500,000 GRIME ‘LIBRARY’ FILED WITH PRESIDENT Observers Suspect, However, Wickersham Findings Worrying Hoover. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.—A library on modern crime—fourteen volumes compiled at a cost of half a million in federal dollars—was finished and filed today in President Hoover’s office. Submission of a report declaring that the foreign bom are more law abiding than are the native born Americans completed the library. The library comprises the findings of the Wickersham commission

on law enforcement and observance. It is the result of a two-year inquiry hailed as the most extensive and earnest effort of any nation to ferret out the reasons why its laws are not enforced better and observed. Asa whole the volumes reveal many reasons: Social resistance to prohibitory laws, corruption, inefficient and cumbersome legal machinery and improper administration. Some revisions in law and some corrections in enforcement machinery were recommended. What Mr. Hoover will do about them remains to be determined. He has not read all the volumes —they total at least 1,609,200 words —and has not yet decided whether they will be presented to congress with recommendations or whether they will remain in the files for future reference. What the commission thinks about prohibition has not been settled definitely, although that was one of its major purposes when it was evolved two years ago out of compaign promises made by the President.
