WASHINGTON, June 11.—Hugh

In a special order, Johnson gave
uncoded industries the choice of

Johnson said “it is not intended by
is plan to force all remaining un-
ified industries under codes,” but

ring labor abuses may have a code
posed.
NRA said the mopping-up plan
uld cover 262 pending codes and

ilied for codes. Code agreements
peared near on 135 of these and

Several codes, such as the anth-

nic, labor or legal conditions” and

VERA, Texas, July 7.—This tiny
Knox county farming community was
shocked Friday by the tragic discov-
ery that Hollis McGuire, apparently
despondent over ill health, had shot
his wife and two children to death
as they slept and then had driven
to the nearby town of Seymour and
killed himself.
His brother, Roy McGuire, was
aroused shortly after daybreak by
the sound of a shot in front of his
Seymour home. He rushed out to
find Hollis McGuire, 34, dead in a
car parked in front of the house.
There was a bullet wound in the dead
man’s temple and a pistol in his
hand. A note found in the car read:
“I have been worried about my
physical condition and thought this
was the only way out—may God
bless them all.”

SHERIFF SLAYS 2 BANK ROBBERS
WHEELER, July 10.—Two men be-
lieved to be robbers who took $200
from the First State Bank of Alli-
son, Wheeler County, were fatally
wounded late today in a gun fight
with Sheriff Walter Jones of Hemp-
hill County, Texas, near Sweetwa-
ter, Okla. They were dead when
Sheriff Jones reached an Erick, Okla.,
hospital with them.
Bud McMullen, assistant cashier of
the Allison bank, said an unmasked j
man entered the bank shortly before ’
2 p. m., while an accomplice waited
outside in an automobile.
“Give me a thousand dollars,” Mc-
Mullen said the robber demanded.
McMullen said he handed the man a
roll of bills containing approximately
$200 and the robber walked out.
Jesse Martin, an oil operator, was
the only other person in the bank at
the time.
The two robbers drove away in a
light car, of a model now several
years out-dated. McMullen notified
Sheriff Jones and he gave pursuit,
with a party of deputies.
The fleeing men were halted near
Sweetwater when a bullet from the
gun of an officer struck the driver,
during an exchange of shots.
One of the men was identified as
a Sweetwater man, officers could, not
identify the other man immediately.
Hospital attendants said both men
were “shot up pretty badly.”
None of the bank loot was found
on the bodies.

it appeared the fatal shots had been
fired as they slept.
Hollis McGuire, manager of the
Vera motion picture theater, former-
ly had been a farmer. But for the
last nine years he had been in ill
health and had turned to the theater
business. Both he and his wife were
reared in Vera and were members of
prominent pioneer families. McGuire
was regarded as prosperous.
After shooting his wife and child-
ren McGuire left his home and drove
to Seymour, arriving there about
dawn. He made no attempt to see
his brother before he shot himself,
simply parking his car in front of
the house.
LOUISIANA SOLON THREAT-
ENS TO BAN HUEY FROM FLOOR
BATON ROUGE, La., July 6.—
Representative Rupert Peyton, Cad-
do, today in a warm personal privi-
lege address in the house, served no-
tice that he “and others” would force
Senator Huey P. Long off the Lou-
isiana house of representatives floor,
“if he and other notorious character
continued lobbying among members.”
Peyton described Long’s floor activ-
ities as a “rotten spectacle,” and
said that he and other anti-adminis-
trationists would invoke the house
ejection of outsiders rule “the next
time he comes in and starts lobby-
ing.”
Peyton took the floor as the house
opened.
“For several days we have been
treated to the rotten spectacle of
his piscatorial majesty, the craw-
fish, walking ar-ound and conducting
himself with no respect to decency,”
he said.

SUCCESS INDICATED IN TUBER-
CULOSIS TESTS ON CONVICTS
CANON CITY, Colo., July 6.—
Tests in which two convicts risked
their lives to determine the efficiency
of a newly developed serum to pre-
vent tuberculosis have progressed
satisfactorily with indications thus
far they will be a success, Colorado
prison officials said today.
Dr. Harry J. Corper of the Jewish
Consumptive Relief Society, who with
other physicians developed the serum,
was in Chicago today on a vacation
and could not be reached for a state-
ment.
Dr. R. E. Holmes, prison physician,
said the two convicts, Carl Erickson,
serving a life term for murder, and
Mike Schmidt, serving a similar term
for attack, appear to be in good health
and have gained weight.
“They are practically free men be-
cause it is only a matter of a few
weeks until they will get the full
pardons promised them,” one prison
official said. “The test is a big suc-
cess as far as they are concerned.”
The Elizabeth Taylor YWA will
meet Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock
in the home of Mrs. Leonard Nich-
ols. The book of Ruth will be studied.
