Ford Would Combine Farm
Work With Factory Labor
WASHNGTON.— (AP) —After
a surprise call at the White
House, Henry Ford said Tuesday
he had advocated to President
Hoover a plan of combining farm

factory workers could save %500 a
year by raising part of their own
foodstuffs.
The automobile manufacturer
said he had been working for
three months to smotoh out de
tails of such a plan. He added,
however, lte was not yet ready to

Ford intimated that the idea
he had been experimenting with
on his Dearborn farm, with Ford
factory hands, was to have men

of their time in small scale
scientific farming.

BY WILLIAM H. EWING
HONOLULU —(AP)— To 4 jury
fashionea out of “melting pot”
material from East and West, two
groups of attorneys turned today
with opposing pleas-—one for con
vietion and other: for the acquittal
of the four persons accused of
lyreking Joseph Kahahawai.
Jokn C. Kelley, public prosecu
tor, seeks to convince the 12 men
that Lieutenant Thomas H. Mas
|:~:iv. U. & .N., was rational when
he shot the native and that the
other three defendants — Mrs.
Granville Fortescue, Albert £
Jones and E, J. Lord—likewise are
responsible to the law.
Mrs, Portcscue, society matiron,
is Massie’'s mother-in-law. Lord
and Jones are navy enlisted men.
Ka}ahawai allegedly confessed te
participatiop in a criminal attack
on Mprs. Thalia Massie, wife of the
defendant.
His Last Plea?
Clarence Darrow, veteran Chi
cago criminal attorney who heads
the defense counsel, will fellow
Kelley with a double appeal of
honor and insanity—an appeal
which may be the last great plea
in his long career. Darrow came‘
out of retirement in the hepe ofi
clearing the four accused persons‘
charged with second degree mur
der, the penalty for which is 20‘
Iyears to life imprisonment. l
Kelley said his argument would
l,not take long. Darrow ;mnounco'l‘
*he would speak for several hours.
lßarry S. Ulrich, associate prosecu-‘
tor, was chosen to make the clos
ing statement for the territory.
Darrow said. he would do all the
pleading for the defense. His three
colleagues are George 8. Leisure
Lieutenant L. H. C. Johnson, and
Montgomery Winn.
