HOPES BUILT ON HATCH BILL AND OTHER DISPUTES

One Vote in Committee May Decide Fate of Neutrality Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 8 (U. P.).— The House legislative situation made the New Deal vulnerable to its opponents today.

With its legislative work completed, the House was virtually marking time until the Senate is ready to adjourn. Despite general talk indicating a desire for quick adjournment, Republican House leaders admitted privately that they were in no hurry to go home because of opportunities for additional rebuffs to the Administration. They hoped, through a coalition with conservative Democrats, to! make political capital from these! issues: 1. The National Labor Relations Board. A resolution, sponsored by Rep. Howard W. Smith (D.

Happy Day! A Dollar Bill Cleans Slate

William Copeland, a WPA worker of R. R. 9, left Municipal Court today happy, but somewhat bewildered. Convicted of failure to stop after an accident he was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to jail for 30 days by Judge Charles J. Karabell, all of which was suspended. He was asked to show his driver's license. “I don't have any,” he replied. “Well,” replied the judge, “we’ll keep you from driving for 60 days anyway. License revoked.”

HUGE BLACKOUT T0 TEST BRITISH PLANE DEFENSE

Third of Area Dark Tonight; French Arms Factories Set at Full Speed..

By UNITED PRESS The security campaigns of Britain and France continued with new speed today. Nearly one-third of England will be “raided” tonight by Royal Air Force planes in the greatest blackout ever held by British forces. The French government, acting under emergency powers granted by Parliament, forbade any war materials factory to “interrupt or diminish” its production schedule during July, August and September. Fifteen counties of Southwestern England, comprising about 16,000 square miles, will be in darkness from 11 p. m. until 4 a. m. Sunday, while for the first time since the World War, lights along the 250 miles of the Sussex and Kentish coastline will be extinguished. A report of a German nonaggression pact published in the Manchester Evening News as from its Washington correspondent was generally discounted in London diplomatic quarters. In Washington authoritative Government sources, as well as the German and Italian embassies, said they never had heard of any such offer.

Speakers Optimistic

The blackout comes as Britons read the statements of three key speakers who declared the country’s anti-aircraft organization now could repel any fleet which an enemy could send. The speakers were Prime Minister Chamberlain, W. L. Wrightson, chairman of the river committee of the Port of London Authority, and Air Vice Marshal T. L. Leighmallory. Premier Chamberlain in a speech at Birmingham today described the British air force as the finest in the world and declared that the Air Ministry had not revealed all the progress that has been made in aerial rearmament. He talked at the opening of a new airport. Shortly before 11 p. m. sirens will give the first warning of the air raid maneuvers, calling up hundreds of thousands of air raid precaution workers as the squadrons of fighters and bombers approached,

Motorists Warned

Motorists were asked to keep off the roads, but if they must travel, to use only tail lights and dimmed side lights. The blinds of train compartments must be drawn. Householders must screen all windows with blankets or heavy draperies. Police will knock on the door to inform them if any chinks of light are showing. Police wearing special ultra-violet lamps will be posted at all important crossings. Royal Air Force planes will roar overhead and drop simulated “incendiary bombs” which auxiliary air Jeia precaution firemen will comat.

French Push Defense

French government leaders had intimated in guarded statements that the country’s defense production was now rapidly approaching peak level. Airplane production has been so satisfactory that after reinforcing the home fleet, defense

mutilated. Nearby the fifth victim was found headless in July, 1936. County Detective Harry Brown headed the new examination of Dolezal’s former residence, where knives and blcod were found before the confession. Sheriff O'Donnell resumed questioning of Dolezal and said he might use a lie-detector on him later today. The sheriff sought also to upset a self-defense plea Dolezal made in pimps the Polillo beheading. Dolezal selid that he killed the woman when she rushed at him with a butcher knife, whereas psychiatrists have pictured a man who would decapitate as a cunning killer with no motive other than the lust for blood. Dolezal’s only concern today was that imprisonment had prevented his getting his pay check at a company where he had worked as a bricklayer.

Meek When Sober

Lawrence J. (Pat) Lyons, a special deputy sheriff whose hunch first started the sheriff's office on the case, said today that his observations led him to believe Dolezal has a Jekyll-Hyde personality. Lyons said he had noticed that Dolezal “is just as meek as he can be when he is sober, but when he is drunk he is dangerous and given to violence. “Though he is not a very big man, when he is drinking he has the

France will make its first big demonstration of its new aerial strength July 14—Bastille Day, the great national Independence Day holiday—when 1000 or more French airplanes, and a symbolic squadron of 45 or more British planes, will engage in an air parade over the Champs Elysees.

MEANS STUDIED FOR APPLYING EGG LAW

LAFAYETTE, Ind. July 8 (U. P.). —Provisions to enforce the newly enacted state egg law were tentatively drawn up yesterday by members of the Indiana State Egg Board at a meeting at Purdue University here. Minimum standards for fresh eggs to be wholesaled or retailed were established, and it was decided that the provisions will apply to any individual or firm wishing to come under the act, The regulations will come up fos final approval of the board at a meeting in Inidanapolis Friday. The act becomes effective Aug. 14.

MADRID, July 8 (U. P.).—The prosecutor demanded the death sentence today for Julian Besteiro, Republican leader who surrendered Madrid to the Nationalists at the end of the civil war. Senor Besteiro went on trial for (his life before a court martial of /seven high army officers for opposing the Nationalist regime and “socialistic activities.” The prosecutor also accused Senor Besteiro of rebellion.

afternoon was the most important and spectacular of the hundreds which have been held without cessation since the end of the war. Forty-one typewritten pages citing charges and findings against Senor Besteiro was placed before the judges as the trial started. “I am ready,” Senor Besteiro said. “I am confident that I have nothing to fear and that I shall get justice.

Special police precautions were taken as the court assembled in the Palace of Justice. Five hundred people were sufficient to crowd the little hearing room. The judges included three generals and two lieutenant colonels, as the regular court; a presiding general, and a lieutenant colonel as judge extraordinary, with the right to question Besteiro and, as a legal expert, to correct any irregularities in the case. The seven-man court meant that Senor Besteiro was getting a trial as if he were an army general. Normally the entire court consists of five officers. Besteiro chose Lieut. Julio Arenillas as his attorney. The prosecution was conducted by Lieut. Col. Juan Acedo. Both officers are experienced court martial counsel.

strength of two ordinary men,” Lyons said. The frenzied prisoner still denied after three nights and two days of questioning that he was the longsought fiend who in the past five vears has strewn parts of 13 bodies through the lonely desolate industrial gulley called Kingsbury Run. There was evidence, however, that he had associated with at least three of the victims, including Mrs. Florence Polillo.

Habitue of Vice District

Coroner Samuel R. Gerber said he was “satisfied” that Dolezal had killed all 13 and that the hunt had ended for an insensate murderer, begun Sept. 5, 1934, when the dismembered body of a middle aged woman, never identified, was washed up on the Lake Erie shore. Dolezal was a habitue of the city’s vice district and a companion of flop house drifters. He admitted having worked in a slaughter house.

He also had been seen in company of a “tattooed sailor,” fitting the description of one of the butcher's early victims, whose head was found in Kingsbury Run June 5, 1936.

in my pocket and tried to grab $10. I pushed her off and she grabbed a butcher knife and came at me with it. “I hit her with my fist and she fell backward into the bathroom. Her head hit the bathtub. I think that’s what killed her. The reason I cut up her body was to get rid of it. I cut off the arms and legs and head in th2 bathtub. I put the pieces in a basket and carried them down to the alley.

‘I Made Two Trips’

“I made two trips. I took the head and arms and legs in the basket to the foot of E. 49th St. and threw them into Lake Erie. The wind was blowing offshore and it carried them out to the lake.” The sheriff said Dolezal also admitted having fought with Andrassy. He said Andrassy slashed him with a knife. He denied having killed him, however. Andrassy’s headless body was found near that of an unidentified woman on Sept. 23, 1935. Dolezal's confession brought a mob into the street late yesterday when the sheriff and County Detective Harry Brown took him to the alley where Mrs. Polillo’s body was found: The prisoner lay on the floor of the sheriff’s automobile to aveid the angry shouts and gestures of the crowd. ‘Although rivalry had developed between the police department which had assigned him to the “Nad Butcher” case exclusively five years ago, and the sheriff's men who arrested Dolezal Wednesday night by chance, both departments agreed that there was overwhelming evidence that the case was near a solution.

MOTHER WHO KILLED DAUGHTER MAY LIVE

L.OS ANGELES, July 8 (U. P.).— Doctors today gave Mrs, Eileen Preston a better than even chance to survive—and perhaps face a trial for chloroforming her 1ll-year-old daughter. . The 33-year-old, twice-divorced mother, placed a wad of cotton over the nose and mouth of her sleeping daughter, Mabel Ann, yesterday, and poured chloroform into it from a hottle. Then she swallowed ant powder and slashed her wrists with a razor. Mabel Ann was dead when an ambulance called by a neighbor arrived, but her mother was rushed to the hospital and her life probably saved.

Faces Early Decision on Accepting New Job With Administration.

(Continued from Page One) term for President Roosevelt, said afterwards that he had pledged himself to do all in his power to aid the McNutt boom. “I promised to check over the Democratic Senators with him when he returns for another visit next week,” Senator VanNuys said. Such Senators as the senior Sene ator from Indiana could influence would all be on the conservative side, it was pointed out. Mr. McNutt has a stanch advocate among the New Deal Senators in Senator Minton (D. Ind.), who is Senate whip and a 100 per cent Roosevelt man.

Opposite Advice Reported Both Senators were asked for ade vice as to whether it would be best for Mr. McNutt’s future plans to remain with the Administration or to check out now, it was learned. Senator Minton is reported to have advised the former and Senge tor VanNuys the latter course. Staying with the New Deal as director of the new Social Security setup, or in a Cabinet post, would afford Mr. McNutt an opportunity to demonstrate his administrative ability on the home grounds and thus attract more attention than in the far-away Philippines, it was pointed out. Since he has announced that he will support President Roosevelt if the latter seeks a third term, being with the Administration would not effect his Presidential plans, it was said. Should he decide to quit the Gove ernment service and devote his ene tire time to his campaign, Wayne Coy may have a chance to get the Security post, it was reported. He already has been recommended for a $9000 assistant’s job by Senator Minton. The top job pays $12,000. Won’t Oppose Roosevelt Mr. McNutt declared for the first time yesterday that he would nof be a candidate for President if Mr, Roosevelt seeks a third term. He denied published reports that he would seek the nomination even if the President runs. He insisted that he had made no such statement and was certain that neither of the two men qualified to speak for him had made the statement. “All my plans have been made on the provision that Mr. Roosevelt would not seek a third term,” he said, “If, on the contrary, he does want a third term, my loyalty to the chief dictates what action I should take.”
