Lam son, softspoken young “perfect husband,” will go on trial in the little criminal courtroom today charged with the “bathtub murder” of his wife, Allene Thorpe Lamson. In his effort to convince a jury that the minor Stanford university official had a motive for beating his wife to death. Prosecutor Allan P. Lindsay relied on the psychological teachings of Freud. He planned to present a hypothesus of a man’s love for his wife so deep and so passionate that, emotional outlets blocked, it suddenly flar®d Into blind rage and destruction of the object of that overwhelming love. Science to Play Part Modern and little-understood sciences promised to play important parts in this triai of a "perfect husband” accused of beating his wife to death as she stood nude in the bathroom of their secluded campus home. In addition to exploration of dark recesses of the human mind, both defense and prosecution have called upon the science of criminology to bolster their cases. Dr. Fred ere k Proescher, Santa j Clara county pathologist, will appear for the state. Th® defense ace is Edward Oscar Heinrich, whose feats in solving mysterious crimes are almost legendary Expect Conflict Over Pipe Testimony of Dr. Proescher and Heinrich was expectd to conflict regarding a ten-inch piece of metal j pipe found in a bonfire that Lamson : had been tending. Proescher was expect®d to testify he found hloodstains on the pipe. Heinrich recently announced that no known method could show the presence of blood upon the pipe. Lamson's mother has been subpenacd by the prosecution. The love of David and Allene Lamson was regarded by campus intimates as idyllic. Both were brilliant campus writers and editors. They were parents of a girl not yet 2 years old. Tender and Adoring Mrs. Lamson was not in robust health. David, friends said, was tender and adoring. At 10 a. m. on May 30. David Lamson left a bnckvnrd bonfire, and walked through his home to admit ! two callers. He was blithe, cheerful. He had joked with neighbors as he cleaned up the yaid.

COAL, RETAIL, AUTO CODES IN EFFECT NEXT Steel. Oil and Lumber Agreements Get Roosevelt 0. K. on Week-End. OTHER BIG GROUPS WAIT — Sensational Advance Made in Drive to Make Jobs; Speed Up Work. BY RUTH FINNEY Tlmei Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Three more industry’ groups as important as these brought under the recovery program over the week-end probably will be operating under codes before this week is over. They are coal, which come into line before night, automobiles, on which hearings already have been held, and retail trade, set for hearing Tuesday. NRA will attempt to keep up the pace set during President Roosevelt's week in Washington because of the magnitude of tasks still ahead of it, and because speed is essential if the promise of better conditions this winter is to be kept. Although steel, oil and lumber agreements just signed by the President, mark a sensational advance in the drive on unemployment, the coal code, still to be whipped into shape is in many respects more important than any other because of its effect on practically every industry. Retail trade affects more workers directly than any other single code. Intensive Work Necessary And there still are to be heard and agreed upon codes for such important industrial groups as building construction, the food industries, rubber, leather, machinery, chemicals and their allied products, tobacco, paper and printing, utilities and hotels and restaurants. Some of these groups are not even under Blue Eagle temporary agreements, and can be brought to increase wages and employment only through code hearings. Even if the present rapid pace is maintained, it probably will take at least until the end of September to bring these major groups under codes. Altogether 1,200 codes now are awaiting action. Intensive work on the coal code took place over the week-end. with operators meeting among themselves, with labor representatives and with NRA officials. Coal Is Basic Industry Coal remains the basic industry of the nation. It still is used for heating far more widely than any other and will probably continue to be for years. It is used far more widely for dei velopment of power—an essential of every industry—than other fuels. Transportation of coal is such an ii portant part of the railroad business that railroads probably have a greater stake in the coal business today than coal operators. NRA is seeking to eliminate wage scale differences, probably the most serious factor in all those affecting coal, to as great extent as is possible under one general code, and to open the way for further evening up of this great competitive factor by providing for nation-wide recognition of the United Mine Workers of America. Whip Hand Is Held BY HAROLD O. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 21—Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson held the whip hand today as he pressed for a code governing the holdout coal industry. President Rooseveit gave him a precedent for dealing with the unionization issue, crux of the coal code fight., when he placed steel, ; lumber and oil industries under the Blue Eagle. The customary NRA provision that no one be compelled to join a company union was in each code Backed by ‘hose examples. Johnson was confident of quick action on coal. The precedent may be applied also to automobile production this week. A code on which hearings have been completed contained an open shop provision, but it has been characterized as unsatisfactory by Donald Richborg, NRA general ' counsel.

Spare Dime? But It’s ‘Dough’ or Nothing, So Panhandler Gets Penal Farm Term. “T)UDDY, can you spare a JD dime?” “No. but I'll buy you a bowl of soup.” "No, you won't.

Inability to complete the multiplicity of details incident to transfer of funds prevented opening of the new American National bank today, as had been planned. The bank's officers and employes worked diligently over the weekend. but were unable to finish the heavy volume of clerical work. They were being assisted by representatives from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the United States treasury department.

When the new bank is opened, this 50 per cent of impounded deposits will be available for depositors, together with all deposit* placed in the old bank since close of the moratorium. The remaining 50 per cent will be made available as soon as nonliquid deposits can be liquidated.

CITY TO SHOW LOYALTY IN GIANT BLUE EAGLE PARADE

PREDICT CITY TAX RATE OF SI.3IJN 1934 5-Cent Increase Looming Because of Loss in Revenues. City tax rate of $1.31 was predicted today, with completion of the first draft of the municipal 1934 budget, which has been branded the "horrible” budget by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Faced with reductions in income in practically every revenue line. Sullivan and Evans Woollen Jr., city controller, announced the boost of 5 cents on each SIOO worth of tax--able property, as compared to the rate this year. The financial proposal will be presented to the city council tonight, and members of the council this week will begin their annual consideration of the setup. It is possible that some figures may be pruned farther, although drawers of the document claim that the budget carries the minimum costs for each department. Valuation Cut Drastic City hall department heads will confer with councilmen on the outlay of finances in each division. Forty-three million dollars reduction in property valuation in the city was one of tfie chief reasons for the tax boost, it was said. Total valuation of city property for taxation now only is $511,162,710, according to the budget. Seven per cent of the anticipated 16 per cent tax delinquency in the county affects revenue of the city, according to the figures. Personnel Is Cut Cuts have been made in the new budget in supplies, pay and personnel in departments. Total reduction Is $203,000. Pay cuts will not affect police and firemen, city officials said. Loss in miscellaneous receipts of $127,909 and in gas tax fees of $285,920 also was a factor in the rate increaie. In addition to the tax rate boost in offsetting losses, the city also announced additional taxes, including those on beer, were expected to net approximately $247,362.
