United States Considers
Move as Solution to Un

WASHINGTON — (#) — A na

to deport approximately 6,000,000
aliens as a partial solution to the
United States’ unemployment prob
lem was pressed Saturday by 156
organizations, estimated by Repres

Plans to organize ten million na

he said. 3 .
“At least 150 congressmen have

Passage Of
This Session
Opinion of Party Leaders
Comes as Surprise
Saturday
| WASHINGTON—’{W) —To avoid
putting business und@er a cloud of
“uncertainty” for the long interim
between this and the next session
of congress, Senator Robinson, the
Democratic leader, Saturday ad
vocated enactment of President
Roosevelt’'s new tax-the-rich pro
posals now, even though it proleng
ed the session indefinitely.
This pronouncemnt, coming as
somewhat of a surprise, was de
livered ,to newspapermen after a
brief Saturday session in which
Senator Long, Democrat, Louisiana,
challenged the president to push a
bill immediately to “break up con
centration of big fortunes.” Stand
ing outside the chamber Robinson
asserted it would “leave the coun-
try in a state of uncertainty” to
have the tax proposals hang over
until next winter without action.
Chairman Harrison, Democrat,
Mississippi, of the finance comm
ittee, had indicated the tax pro
gram would go over until next
session,
Long’s tax talk, and the reading
of a lengthy letter from him to the
president took up much of the sen
ate's day. Sharply differentiating
between his own share-the-wealth
views and those of the president,
he shouted to the senate:
“Let’s have a bill; let’s have a
bill, either from the president or
somebody else.”
Long told the small-sized Satur
day membership that if the execu
tive meant what he said and would
press a ‘‘definite” program it could
pass in a week and he would give
it “every atom of power and
strength” at his command, even
though it meant “my elimination
from politics.”
He spoke after having the clerk
read his 2,000 word open letter to
the president in which he bluntly
told the executive he had failed to
keep his campaign promises for re
distribution of wealth and submit
ted a list of questions demanding
to kmow how far he would go in
carryving his wealth tax program.
“G-WOMEN” MAY BE
ADDED TO SERVICE
WASHINGTON.-—(}P)—Amiough
there are no “G-Women” in the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Director J. Rdgar Hocver Satur
day said this was a possibility if
the present field force of 600 in
vestigators “ever is expanded to
1500 or 2,000 operators.”
As to the ancient axiom that
women cannot keep a secret—im
portant in present operations of
the “G-Men”"—the bachelor direc
tor insisted “that has nothing to
do with it.” 5

SOME OTHER SIGNS
Chiefs Privately Express
Fear of Uprising in
Party Ranks
By CLARENCE M. WRIGHT
Copyright, 1935, By The As

WASHINGTON—(P)—New signs
of undercover dissatisfaction with
several New Deal measures arose
today, leading some econgressional
chiefs privately to express fears of
a major uprising in democratic
ranks unless the session ends soon
or different tactics are adopted.
Concrete evidence of the discon
tent included:
Fourteen ofthe 22 senators who
signed the petition for action be
fore adjournment on share-the
wealth taxes were democrats, some
of whom expressed “off-the-rec
ord” fears that the President’'s ad
vocacy of the taxes might have
been only a political move.
Against Labor Bill.
Disclosure that an actual ma
jority of house members had op

roll ecall.
The fact that members of the
ways and means commiltee were
ppenly expressing. doubts of the
‘constitutionality of the Guffey coal
bill, which is on the President’s
“must” list. :
A private poll in the house in
dicated a substantial majority
against abolition of all “unnéces
sary” utilities holding companies,
despite presidential pressure to
swing things the other way.

miles out, the fliers headed the

instruments and radio signals to

Despite headwinds and dense cloud

MR. AND MRS. HARMON M. WALEY
Lawyer Decides Mrs. Waley Will
Not Plead Guilty to Kidnaping
Date of Trial for Wife of
Ex-Convict to Be Set
Sometime . Monday
BY LELAND HANMUM
(Asgociated Press Staff 7Writ&r)
TACOMA, Wash, — (#) — Ano
ther tearful attempt by blonde
Margaret Waley to plead guilty in
the $200,000 George Weyerhaeuser
kidnaping was blocked Saturday
after her attorney expressd belief
she could not be convicted,
“In my opinion,” said Stephen J.
O’Brien, appointed by the court to
defend the 19. year-old wife of kid
naper Harmon M, Waley, “she could
not be convicted if she went to
trial. I think a trial would be the
best thing, after talking to her hus
band.”
Sobbing and unkempt, the re
morseful young woman, whose hus
band pleaded guilty to “Lindbergh
law” violation Friday and was sen
tenced to 45 years imprisonment
was denied permission to plead
similarly by Federal Judge E. E.
Cushman.
The judge announced a date
would be sat Monday for Mrs. Wal
ey’s trial on the same charge in
which her husband was sentenced.
Without her swaggering, gum
chewing ex-convict husband whose
last word in court was a plea in
her behalf, the girl-wife seemed
lost.
Her eyes were red and puffed and
tears still rolled down her unpow
dered, unroughed cheeks,
Waley’s attitude and “bullying” by
“G-men” were blamed by O’Brien
for Mrs. Waley’s insistence on
pleading guilty.
Outside of court, O'Brien said
Mrs. Waley had refused to plead not
guilty because she feared her hus
band and knew he wanted her to
“take the rap” with him.
“She isn’t guilty and never be
lieved hersgelf guilty,” O’Brien said.
“But the ‘G-men’ have worked on
her so hard that she has become
digtracted and wonders if she isn't
guilty after all.”
The attornéy asserted Mrs. Waley
knew nothing of the kidnaping un
til two da?n after the abduection,
when she 'heard the voice of the
little lumber family scion in an
automobile, ¢
