Law Held Invalid
By Valley Judge
BRUSSELS. — Antwerp, which
has suffered severely from the
world crisis, sees a ray of hope in
the arrival of Jews expelled from
Germany. They have brought rea-
dy cash with them, also trade con-
nections. and owners of big houses
are hoping that they may be able to
rent to the newcomers.
Most of the Jews who chose to
remain in Belgium hoped to recross
the frontier after the first fury of
persecution had died down. They
aro now realizing, however, that
they must come on a future outside
the country where they Jived for
centuries.

fusing to grant a delay as provided
in the new law.
Writers Born, Says
Governor, Banning
Journalism School
ATHENS, Ga., May 18. — Gover-
nor Taimadge gave this classic city
a shock when he announced here
that he intended to recommend to
the Board of Regents the abolition
of the Henry W. Grady School cf
Journalism at the University of Ge-
orgia.
The Governor dogmatized: “Wri-
ters are born, not made. I have
never seen any worth-while products
of this school. As for myself, I
can write anywhere and even with
telephone bells ringing.”
Outside of politics, Governor Tai-
madge is an editor.
Plan to Remove
Impeachment Ban
to Office Made
AUSTIN, May 22. — A resolu-
tion to amend the constitution so that
impeachment of a state officer would
operate only to remove him from
office and would not disqualify him
from holding public office, was in-
troduced in the house late Monday
by Representative Elmer Pope of
Corpus Christi.
The amendment would be submit-

allegedly attacked her Itfst Decem-
ber.
Neighbors testified they saw a fire
burning in the pit in the Dach farm
yard the night of February 24. Vic-
tor Kirschke, 13, son of a neigh-
bor, testified he talked with Mrs.
Dach and Stoever on January 15 a-
bout the pit and both said it was
nrepared for a flower bed.
Koe Krischke, 50, father of Vic-
tor, said he saw the Stoever funer-
al pyre blazing the night of Febru-
ary 24. He said he did' not know
at that time Stoever’s body was be-
ing consumed.
To Ask Death
District Attorney Fred Blundell
has indicated he will ask the death
penalty for Mrs. Dach. Each pro-
spective juror was challenged when
he said he had conscientious scruples
against infliction of the death pen-
alty on a woman.
Defense attorneys have not indicat-
ed their defense for Mrs. Dach.
The woman, who wpighed 250
pounds when she was arrested, has
lost 50 pounds since her arrest. She
has fasted most of the time. Court
attaches said she has refused all food
save a cup of coffee 'since her ar-
rest. For 13 days she refused
that, they said, and for the past sev-
en days has consumed only a small
amount of coffee.
The jury to hear the case was com-
pleted shortly before noon. The
members of the jury are, John Kno-
chc. Albert F. Hoblizal, Ed. Kubas,
M. V. Harris, Tgnac Mynar, L. Fwfy-
tag, W. H. Raski, George Wolle,
Martin Zapalac, A. G. Baumbacj, II.

Impeachment of
Sec. Woodin Is
Asked in House
The long succetesoin of disclosures
fell with electrifying clarity upon
the hushed committee room. Com-
mittee members and spectators lean-
ed forward intently as the financier,
speaking in matter-of-fact phrases,
described operations running inro
the hundreds of millions. Even
the more technical explanations de-
fending the legality of the income
tax deductions were heard in rapt
attention.
The bald disclosure that none of
the 20 members of Morgan’s firm,
including among them some of the
men reputed to be the country's
wealthiest bankers, had paid income
taxes in the last two years, brought
a gasp from the spectators.
