"SO HAPPY’ OVER JURY'S VERDICT
Housemaid is Released in Slaying of Man Who Jilted Her. :
NEW CASTLE, Pa., March 18 (U. P.).—The Italian community in nearby Hillsville today continued its celebration at the humble white cottage of Angeline Maravola, pretty housemaid acquitted by a jury of five women and seven men of slaying the man who betrayed her and then repudiated his promise of marriage. After nine hours of debate over whether the “housemaid Cinderella” should go free or pay a penalty ranging from mansjaughter to electrocution, the jury filed into the courtroom of Judge W. Walter Braham at 7:40 p. m. last night and announced its verdict: “Not guilty!” Jurors had been given the task of deciding whether she killed in selfdefense when her threats and pleas goaded young Michael Rich Jr. into attacking her, or whether she was a “scheming, vengeful woman” who shot to death the son of her politically important employer because he made love to her and backed down on a promise of marriage. When the verdict was read the 22-year-old girl eollapsed into the arms of the jail matron, Mrs. H. H. Ingaham. Then she pulled herself together and cried: “I'm so happy; so happy! I'm going home to my mother, she’s sick, you know.” Angeline killed Mike Rich Feb. 3. She said she obtained his father’s gun to “frighten” him, but that she made him so angry he attacked her and she had to shoot four times in self-defense.
I, PAPERS PRAISE CHAMBERLAIN STAND
By United Press
United States newspapers, commenting on the speech of Prime Minister Chamberlain yesterday at Birmingham, England, said in part:
CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER: Although Chamberlain did not become specific, while his remarks lacked the vigor of the declaration from Washington, it must be remembered that these words are the strongest he ever has uttered.
WASHINGTON POST: In asking whether anyone can longer place confidence in any ‘pledge of the present German Government, the British Prime Minister himself an'swered the question in the negative.
NEW YORK SUN: Although he refused to indicate what action his Government might hereafter take, the Prime Minister said in effect that England still feels it essential that no power shall seek a general domination of Europe. NEW YORK TIMES: Mr. Chamberlain’s rebuke of Germany's breach of faith with him—Hitler's “wanton” action in “taking the law into his own hands’—was as severe as the statement . . . by our State Department . . . characterizing the conquest of Czechoslovakia as an act of “wanton lawlessness and of arbitrary foree.” : NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE —Mr. Chamberlain now clarifies the situation with the confession, in effect, that he was taken in . No doubt Mr. Chamberlain here makes himself out a somewhat Steaiar simpleton than he really was.

Rs THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WAS! GTON, March ‘18. rl President Roosevelt's political astuteness, so granted because of his success, now is being questioned by some seasoned politicians within the Democratic |Party whe blame him for its pres LA and name-calling. peace within the renks. Instead, they complain, Mr. Roosevelt continues to fight. They say they are attribu his course te “Duteh stubbornness.” He has proved, they concede, that he can be a master politician. Why then, they wanf to know, did he: Start in the \so-called primary “purge” of 1938? Gite Senate Squabble
Start a row with two influential Democratic Senators, Mr. Glass and Mr, Byrd of Virginia, over a Federal udgeship?

AAA Aget, ; These politicians interpreted the November election as a warning te the party to go slow henceforth, to talk small for awhile, to pull the warring elements together, te stop reform and modify some New Deal measures. The esident interpreted the election less as a setback than as a challenge.
Forecast Roosevelt Course
After the election some of his close pian forecast that the President's course would be to ask for no new measures; to tighten administration, admittedly lax, in some existing New Deal agencies; to make a New Deal issue before the country from time to time, and above all {not to compromise on €ssential principles. In seeking constantly to draw the line, the President is in a way carrying forward the “purge.” Planning no novel legislation, he must chegse other avenues to make the issue,iand this he is doing: 1. Through appointments. He has further New Dealized his Capinet by replacing two old-timers, Secretary |of Commerce .Roper and Attorney |General Cummings, with tried and [true New Dealers, Harry L. Hopkins and Frank Murphy. He named elix Frankfurter, a New Dealer way back when, to the Supreme Court. He recognized his left-wing supporters with the Amlie appointment. 2. By his determined fight for relief appropriations. 3. By emphasizing, in his pronouncements on foreign affairs, the determination to maintain democracy in this country, stressing that this requires economic security for the masses and protection of minorities. ‘4, By warning, in discussion of taxes, that,any revision must protect the little businessman against discrimination. 5. By giving his support to the socalled monopoly investigation to keep alive ithe issye of eoncentration of economic control. He is trying to bring peace between A. F.of L.and C. I. O. as a means of [solidifying labor behind the Democrats in 1940, and of checking any effective inroads on the Wagner Labor Act.

where constables and justices of the peace are reported organizing to fight the new State safety legislation “is the area where most of the worst speed traps have operated,” State Police Captain Walter Eckert said today. The amendments to the State safety law, passed in the closing days of the Legislature, removed from
| justices of peace and constables the
power to handle any trafic cases. Instead the law now provides that Circuit judges name two or more judges for magistrate courts to handle traffic violators. “The principal aim of the new legislation is to rid the state of speed traps which have brought complaints from: motorists for many years,” Capt. Eckert said. . “Some justices of peace and constables have taken advantage of their power to prosecute traffic cases in order to collect fees.” Under the new law, magistrate judges will not collect any fees im the cases. All fines will go into the general funds of the counties and cities where they operate. Joseph W. Talbot, South Bend attorney, yesterday said he will represent an organization of justices of the peace and constables in a legal fight to have the safety laws declared unconstitutional. “Constables will continue meking arrests until one of them is arrested, then we’ll go to court and test the validity of the law,” he said.

23 Per Cent of Indigents Face Loss of Direct Aid Under New Statute.
Indiana may be dropped from the relief rolls June 1 when the new relief residence requirements become effective, Leo X. Smith, Indiana Township Trustees Association counsel, said today. That percentage of indigents have lived in the State under three years according to a survey just completed by the association, Mr. Smith said.

“However, township trustees of the State do not intend filing residence actions to deport indigents by wholesale action,” Mr, Smith said. “Each case will be considered on its individual merits ‘and chronic indigents will be given first attention.” Action could be taken to deport those indigents under the retroactive clause of the law The survey also showed that 73 per cent of the indigents from other states came from states providing less aid per family than Indiana. Most of this number came from Kentucky and Illinois. Under the new law provisions have been set up to deport indigents who seek free medical aid, hospitalization or public institutional care, who have not complied with the three years settlement requirements. The application for assistance in Indiana by a deported indigent subjects him to punishment as a misdemeanor with a jail term up to four months and a fine not to exSea $100, or both, under the new
