Wliat about Speaker Long-worth ?
Was he sincere about wishing an oil
embargo and urging the ways and
means committee to reconsider the
unfavorable report? How much In-
fluence did he wield with President
Hoover in the matter? It is inter-
esting to know that one adminis-
tration leader either saw the light
or thought he would like to appear
that he did . . . It would be encour-
aging to know that the dumb Re-
publicans were peeing the light, even
though darkly. The smart and un-

NEWSPAPERS OF
LIQUOR CASE
| a new trial was granted Fred
Meyers by Judge Clifford Braly in
I 114th district court yesterday after-
! noon. The case was transferred to
; 31st district court upon request of
District Attorney Raymond Allied
I and will ccme up for trial (.luring tlvj
week.
' Mr. Meyers, through his attorney,
1 Judge Newton P. Willis argued thsu
' all the provisions cf the penal code
l concerning the deliberations of
juries had been \ lola ted. Two Jur-
ors testified, that the/ had tele- i
phone conversations during the
trial. All of the six jurors ques-
tioned said that a copy of ihe Pam-
l>a. Daily News was read by some
of the Jurors while they were con-
sidering the case.
Talks on Phone
Juror Odell said that he talked
over the telephone three times dur-
ing the .trial. -'R^IC. pppglas, lore-
man, #>ald that lie had a telephone
conversation wltli hit wife tin a
Cafe where the Jury was eating.
Mr. Odell sold that a story he
read In the Pampa Dally News, un-
der the heading, "Sheriff Is Threat-
ened", caused hbn to come to th)
conclusion that "bootleggers should
be convicted or they might harm
tlie sheriff and his deputies".'
None of the other Jurors ques-
tioned sold that he was influenced
in his verdict by the Daily News
streamer cr by anything reud In tho
paper. Mr. Odell testified that any-
thing he heard over the telephone
did not influence him In his ver-
dict.
Against Statutes
Judge Willis pointed out that ac-
cording to statutes the jury must
net be seperated; must not talk
over a telephone; must not read a
newspaper. It) was on these grounds
that the court granted a motion for
a new trial.
, Mr. Odell also said that as ho
was passing f|om the courtroom
to the jury room after reporting
to the judge, Dick Hughes asked
him how the Jury stood, and that
he answered eleven to one for con-
viction.
In his short argument. Judge Wil-
lis said that it must be apparent
to the court that Mr. Myers "wis
tried by the pampa Dally New?
and Dick Hughes."
Judge Braly comented that he was
not aware the circulation of the
News was so intense that a copy of
the paper would find Its way into
a jury room.
Bailiff Dodson testified that he
. did not know that the Jurors could
I talk over the telephone. Judge
i Braly said that were it not for the
obvious ignorance of the Jurors and

May Borrow Half '
The bill provides the veterans may
borrow SO per cent Instead of 33*6
per cent of the face value of the
compensation certificates Issued In
1024 and maturing in 1945.
In his message. President Hoover
told congress the legislation would .
impose a potential cash outlay of.
$1,700,000,000 if all the 3,400,00 vet-
erans applied. Veterans Adminis-
trator Hines, he said, estimated it
would cost 91,000,000,000.
"There not being a penny in the
treasury to meet such a demand,"
the president said, "the government
must borrow this sum through the
sale of reserve fund securities,tor,,
gether with further Issues or .*#'
must need Impose further taxation."
The president argued the bill W|W
of little value as an unemployment
relief measure, that it would create
a privileged class of oeneftclariej
who are fully able to care for the<*
own needs, that It would delay bu||-
ness recovery and would open the
treasury to "a thousand" well In-
tentloned purposes with disastrous
results.

dollars would be Involved.
