DEATH PENALTY URGED TD CURB HAWAII CRIMES Governor Will Recommend Drastic Law Against Attackers of Women. BY DAN CAMPBELL T'nlted Prei Staff CorresDondent HONOLULU. T. H, Jan. 15.—The death penalty for assaults on women was planned as a curb on terrorism here today as the grand Jury prepared to consider the case of four Americans held in the killing of an Hawaiian accused of attacking the wife of a naval officer. John Gilliland, city and county attorney, said the jury might not consider the case today as scheduled, but that he was prepared to ask Indictments charging first degree murder. The accused are Mrs. Grace Hubbard Fortescue; her son-in-law, Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, whose wife was attacked; E. J. Lord and A. O. Jones, enlisted men stationed at Pearl Harbor. Guard Against Violence Governor Lawrence Judd revealed that he will recommend to the special session of the territorial legislature here Monday that the criminal statutes be revised to provide the death penalty for assaults on women. The governor made public his report to Secretary of Interior Wilbur.

Penalties already are provided for assault in Hawaii, but two identified as assailants of Mrs. Massie had been paroled after conviction on a similar charge. They were paroled by Judd, one so he might enter a boxing tournament. Naval authorities consulted civil officials on measures to prevent any possible trouble when the four Americans are arraigned Saturday. They have been kept aboard the U. S. S. Alton at Pearl Harbor. The three navy men waived their rights under a “gentlemen’s agreement” existing here for a trial by court martial. Early Trial Expected Attorney Gilliland will furnish the grand jury a complete report of the investigation headed by Chief of Detectives John N. Mclntosh into the kidnaping and slaying of Joe Kahahawai, the murdered Hawaiian. He was one of five men freed on bail after a jury disagreed at their trial on charges of attacking Mrs. Massie. The jury deliberated ninety-seven hours. A second trial was scheduled for this month. The trial of the Americans depended on whether the grand jury returned indictments against them, as Gilliland can not proceed unless true bills are returned. It was expected the trial would begin within three or four weeks if indictments are returned. THREE YOUTHS JAILED AFTER VEHICLE THEFT r r Boys Stole Car and Sold Tires, Police Charge. Three of four youths held in connection with the sale of stolen tires were given jail terms today by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer. They are: Richard Spurling, 2751 Cornell avenue, thirty days for petit larceny, and Paul Davis, 736 Ft. Wayne avenue, and James Pappas, 617 Ft. Wayne avenue, ten days each for unlawful riding in a stolen car. Maurice Courtney, 529 East Eleventh street, the fourth youth, was bound to the grand jury on a vehicle taking charge. They are alleged to have stolen an auto and selling the tires.

BANK AND HOME OWNERS' RELIEF BILLSJDVANCE Many Obstacles Lie Ahead of President Hoover’s Pet Projects. BY LYLE C. WILSON L'nited Press Staff CorresDondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Bills to aid depositors in closed banks and owners of mortgaged homes today are on the road to enactment, but with many obstacles ahead. Major opposition to fundamental purposes of the bills has not developed yet, but a multitude of technical objections has been raised against each. Both are pet projects of President Hoover. The depositors’ relief corporation would have a revolving fund of $150,000,000, of which $50,000,000 would come from the surplus accumulated by federal reserve banks and $100,000,000 from the treasury. The corporation would be authorized to borrow or issue bonds for four times that revolving fund, making an aggregate of $750,000,000 with which to operate. . Tlie treasury would be authorized to subscribe a maximum $150,000,000 to the capital stock of the proposed federal home loan bank system, although private subscribers would be given first opportunity to subscribe the full amounts. There would be twelve banks in this system, none of less than $5,000,000 capital. Undersecretary of Treasury Mills believes the depositors’ relief corporation would expedite payment of about 30 per cent of deposits now held in closed banks. The percentage would vary with individual banks. Mills expects the corporation to

lend about $520,000,000 to banks which closed in 1931 with assets of about $1,750,000,000. The method of relief to depositors is simple. The corporation would

lead to receivers who would pay dividends to persons who had cash in the bank. Home loan banks could not lend to individuals. The individual

would obtain credit from his own building and loan association, bank or insurance company, which would In turn draw upon the system sponsored by the government.
