BERLIN, June 14, — Unconfirm
ed official estimates at Reindorff,
places the number dead in the explo
sion of the Wa&talian Anhalt ex
plosives factory as high as one thou
sand. The ministry of propaganda
here said the toll would be less
than a hundred of the thirty thous
and factory workers and employees.
Many homes in the vicinity were de
molished. Window panes within a
radius of several miles were smash
ed.
Nazis, grime-streaked and grim,
dug into the ruins of the explosion
shattered munitions works to bring
out the bodies of the dead which
is variously estimated at between 52
and a thousand.
Many survivors are suffering from
shock and possess only the clothes
on their back. They streamed from
the town on orders that it be evac
uated. Flames followed the explo
sions and added to the destruction.
An official censorship on news is still
on.

BR4DD0CK PROVES TO
BE BETTER FIGHTER
THAN BAER IN B4TTLF
Jimmy Braddock Wins World Crown B]
Unanimous Decision. Took Everything
Baer Could Offer Came For More
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, June 14, —Madison Square Garden: -
, Jimmy Braddock, at a ten to one, the longest shot in th
history of heavyweight prize fights, last night dethrone
the champion Max Baer, winning a fifteen round deoistor
befor a crowd of thirty thousand people.
There were no knockdowns. The decision was unan
mous, Referee Johnny McAvoy and the two judges Georg
Kelly and Charles Lynch all voting for Braddock. The bi
crowd rooting frantically for the challenger all the waj
had sensed the crowning of a new king as early as the ter
th round.
Ancil Hoffman, manager of the world champion, sai
that Baer broke both his hands in the early rounds of th
bout. Baer was never able to shake off more than momenl
arily the charges of the stolid Irish longshoreman.
Braddock fought beautifully, pressing the fight, an
stabbing at the champion incessantly with lefts, and slut:
ging fearlessly with him when he had to. The crowd roar
ed its approval of the decision. Receipts were estimated a
two hundred thousand dollars. Baer weighed 209 and
half, and Braddock 191 and three-quarters pounds.
Braddock Happy, Lean Days Are Passed
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, June 14, — Braddock suffered a bad!
bruised rib, the left side of his nose is swollen and his lef
ear is plastered as a result of winning the championshij
but he grinned about it all.
His wife promised to take him away somewhere for
rest. Braddock’s manager, Joe Gould said “Madison Squar
Garden gave us our chance and we’re sticking to the Gar
den. We’ve got a contract to defend the title for the Garde:
in 1936 and not until then. That’s what we’re going to dc
Meantime we are going out and grab all the sheckles tha
are loose for little Joie and Jimmie; we’ve got to prepar
for the next flood and famine; don’t forget we’ve been on re
lief.”
Gould and Braddock have no movie offers, no vaudevil
le contracts, no exhibition chances; nobody thought he wa
going to win so nobody bothered.
Braddock took everything Baer could muster in th
last three rounds. The challenger not only countered brisk
ly to the head and body in every exchange but tried han
for a knockout himself.
Braddock is twenty-nine and Baer 26 years old. Bae
is 6 feet 2M* inches high and Braddock is 6 feet 3 inches tal!

Washington, May 23, 1935
By a vote of better than 3 to 1,
the House overturned the Presi
dent’s veto of the bonus measure.
f Unfortunately, these comments can
t not be held up for the impending de
i cision of the Senate. The end is in
sight, but cannot be foretold at this
1 moment. In his oral veto, the Pres
- ident raised a new point, when he
- stated that as a matter of fact, the
1 bonus was not due until 1945, and ho
'• made it plain that the bonus pay
t ment should not be made possible

that practically the only obstacle in

OLD WIFE LAW CITED
TODAY MAY SAVE MRS
WALLY LIFE IN PRISON
Attorneys Cite Middle Age Law That Wife
Is A Chattel Of HusbaiuL W hich May
Save Mrs. W aley Life Imprisonment
(By The Associated Press’)
TACOMA, June 14, — The principle of old English law
that the wife is a mere chattel of the husband, was cited to
day by attorneys as likely to save Mrs. Waley from a life
sentence for kidnaping. She and her husband are still be
ing held in Olympia waiting a calling of a Federal Grand
Jury to indict them.
Meanwhile, Mahan is still being sought. Tacomans to
day speculated on the outcome of the citing, but the middle
ages jurisprudence which is an important part of the modern
federal law that the wife has no will of her own, still holds
in effect when the wife takes part in a crime with the hus
band. She is assumed to be acting under his dominance,
and it is said that Mrs. Waley helped secret George Weyer
haeuser. helped take him into Idaho, helped pass a part of
the ransom, all under her husband’s duress.
Further reports said that Margaret Waley contends she
knew nothing about the kidnaping until George was taken
to the hideout in Spokane, when Mahan told her that she
was just as deep in the kidnaping as Waley and he were.
It is believed that after the indictment the Waleys will
change their pleas to guilty—Margaret to that of conspiracy
and get off with a comparatively short imprisonment and
fine. Some believe that Waley may choose to fight the kid
nap charges because his wife cannot testify against her hus
band, or he may plead guilty, getting a life sentence in the
hope of a parole coming later.
Mahan is believed to have gone into the Yellowstone
Park where there are no banks for him to rob.
Long Fails After
Fifteen Half Hr.
Filibuster Senate
Huey Long Carries On 15 Vs
Hour Filibuster But Loses
As Senate Casts Vote
(Bv The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 14, — Hav
ing crushed a fifteen and one-hali
hour filibuster by Huey Long, the
senate yesterday morning at 6:1(
adopted a resolution to extend the
stop-gap NRA until next April, by
a vote of 41 to 13. The senators
then went wearily home to sleep.
House leaders conferred on how
final action will be taken on the
plan whereby business men will be
allowed to make agreements on la
bor conditions and unfair trade prac
tices, but under an amendment by
Borah accepted at the last minute,
anti-trust law enforcement will be
tightened.
Long’s speech-making story telling
and recipe giving ended at four a.m.,
it having begun shortly after noon
the day before. Long was succeeded
by Schall of Minnesota but the blind
senator confined himself to written
speech read by clerk McCarran. He
had been aiding Long throughout
the night with questions and nego
tiations with leaders, and took the
floor but did not talk. When Mc
Carran finished reading the speech
there .was no one else to talk and
the senate rushed rapidly to a final
vote.
The senate rejected the Gore am
endment to require senate confirma
tion of all presidential appointees
to positions paying over four thous
ands dollars yearly. That was the
proposal which was the vehicle for
Long’s fruitless filibuster.
