June 8 OP) Dorothy Dell Goff, who attained spectacular prominence in motion pictures within the last several months, was killed today in an au-mobtle accident. Her companion, Dr. Carl Wagner, 26, prominent surgeon, who was questioned several months ago in connection with the unsolved murder of Dr. Leonard Siever, was fatally injured. The couple had just left an Altadena inn, after a gay party, police said.

Miss Dell formerly lived at 1371 E. 15th with her father, mother and sister. Neighbors recalled that she had left for Hollywood eight or none months ago and that about six months ago her Defendants Face Other Indictments Fitzgerald Orders Jury to Free Men in Trial on Larceny Charge By direction of Judge John F. Fitzgerald, a County Court Jury today acquitted Charles Lehrenkrauss and Herman Rlchter of the grand larceny charge on which they went to trial Wednesday morning. The Court's direction was pursuant to a defense motion last evening at the close of the prosecution's case.

The motion asked dismissal of the indictment on which the trial was had on the ground that the State had failed to establish the allegations of the Indictment. Against both defendants and others connected with the defunct House of Lehrenkrauss are pending several more indictments, trial on one of which is tentatively scheduled for next Monday but is expected then to be adjourned. Mail Fraud Indictments In Brooklyn Federal Court last Tuesday was returned a mall fraud indictment, linking all those named In the County Court charges and others in a general conspiracy to mulct the customers of the bankrupt private bank and realty financing firm. Pleas on the mall fraud Indict ment are scheduled to be had next Tuesday, at which time also will be fixed a date for the trial of those who plead not guilty. It Is thought probable that further County Court prosecutions will be deferred until the Government's prosecution Is concluded.

Stocks Advance In Wide Buying Stocks pushed up sharply today, Individual gains running to more than 3 points. The move, which was the most vigorous in several weeks, was accompanied by an increase in trading to better than IV million shares, making it the most active market In three weeks. Leading stocks were the chief features. Better labor news, the President's message emphatically negativing recent capital fears, and resistance to decline yesterday appeared to be the principal influences In the advance. Commodities also did better.

Wheat and other grains advanced more than 1 cent a bushel afgter an indifferent start. Cotton held a few points under the previous close. Rubbesr and other Import staples were higher. Silver Improved. Dollars continued steady with Sterling ruling around $5.06, off cent.

S.

Open championship. Cruickshank shook off one of the two rivals with whom he was tied at the end of the first round, Char ley Lacey, New York, who waa wild as a hawk, finished his second round with a 78 and totaled 149. Both finished long before Wiffy Cox, Brooklyn, who had yesterday's third 71, had even started his second round. Sarazen Has 145 Gene Sarazen got his par on the last hole for an incoming 35, a card of 72 for the round and an aggre gate of 145 for the 36 holes. Paul Runyan, oo-favorite with Sarazen, took a final five and boosted his total to 152 with a disastrous 78, which practically put him out of the running.

Trailing Cruickshank by five shots were Horton Smith, Lanky Chicago entry, and Leo Dlegel, Philadelphia, each with 147.

Rappoport failed to account for $43,001 he collected in rents while receiver of the apartment building at the northwest corner of Ridge Boulevard and 70th St.

The motion to punish him for contempt was made on behalf of the executors of the Michael J. Salt-ser estate, who had a judgment against the Ridge-70th St. Corporation, owner of the building. Rappoport was appointed receiver Feb. 28, 1928, when Morris Greenbaum, a mortgagee, brought foreclosure suit and his receivership was extended Continued on Page Injury Keeps Schwab FromCommencement Loretto, June 8 OP) Charles M.

Schwab, the retired steel master, rested at his estate today after a fall which prevented him from making a speech at the commencement exercises at St. Francis College. He tripped over a loose rug on the platform yesterday and fell flat on his face before Bishop John J. McCort and other dignitaries. His injury was slight.

Dietrich had been aware for some time that the buzzing In the neighborhood was greater than the sound output of his hives. When he met his neighbors in the corner grocery, he noticed they seemed somewhat frigid toward him. Some of them had red spots on their faces and their necks, and one man had a couple of them on the top of his head where he ought to have hair. Brooklyn's bee boy saw trouble in the offing. The neighbors stood it as long as they could and then they collected some nice long affidavits.

Today they handed them over the bench to the Judge. States to Co-operate Washington, June 8 President Roosevelt told Congress today that he is preparing a vast plan of social insurance for the security "ot the citizen and his family." This, with another national plan for land and water resources, will bt laid before Congress next Winter. In his longest message to Congress, the Chief Executive said: "Among our objectives I plac the security of the men, women and children of the nation first." "People," he said, "want decent homes to live in; they want to locate them where they can engage in productive work, and they want some safeguard against misfortunes which cannot be wholly eliminated in this man-made world of ours." Wants Lending Stimulated Regarding homes, he said th Government has already appropriated millions for housing, and In a housing bill now before the legislators can "stimulate the lending of money to modernize homes and build new ones. Of the "problem of readjustment of the population," he said "hun dreds of thousands of families 11 where there is no reasonable prospect of a living in the years to come." "When the next Coneress con venes," he declared, "I hope to be able to present to it a carefully considered national plan, covering the development and human use of our national resources of land and water over a long period of years." It involves abandoning millions of acres for agricultural use and replacing them with better land. The President disclosed he has begun actuarial studies looking to a unified system of social insurance, including unemployment and old age.

States Should Aid "I believe." he said, "there should be a maximum of co-operation be tween states ana the Federal Government. I believe that the fundi necessary to Drovid this insurance should be raised by contribution rather than by an Increase in gen- eiai taxation. The States, he said, "should meet at least a large part of the management cost," leaving the Federal Government the task of investing and safeguarding the reserves. The President struck at critlce who say the Government should devote itself to recovery first and reform later. "It is childish," he said, "to speak of recovery first and reconstruction afterward.

In the very nature of the processes of recovery we must avoid the destructive influences of the past." Discusses New Deal The remarks about homes were interpreted as a declaration for enactment of the housing bill at this session. This bill is intended to encourage repair and building of homes by a partial Government guarantee of loans.

DEATH WRITES FINIS p.4traX.r Dorothy Dell Baer Held Fit; Bout to Go On Doctors' Report Binds Commission Brown Dissents Sales Drop The" Nwv York State Athletic Commission today ordered the Car- nera-Baer heavyweight champion ship fight held as scheduled on June 14 after three physicians had pro nounced Max, the challenger, and Primo, the title holder, in satisfactory physical condition. The physicians are Drs. -William H.

Walker, Morris Beyer and Vin cent Nardillo. Commissioner William Brown, who declared Baer unfit for the contest following a visit to the challenger's training quarters, dissented from the physicians' findings. The physical examination, he declared, was "an insurance company" examina tion and did not prove Baer's fit ness to fight. Wear Not Present Commissioner J. Walker Wear was not present at the meeting today.

After a telephone conversation with Brig. Gen. John J. Phelan, the com mission chairman, he was said to favor sanctioning the fight. Phelan also favored permitting the fight to go on.

Since, under the State law, the decision of the physicians as to a fighter's condition is binding on the commission, no formal vote was taken. Shortly before the decision was announced, it was reported at com mission offices that Brown's attack on Baer's condition was affecting ticket sales. Two special trains which were to bring fight fans to the Long Island City bowl from the West were reported cancelled. Brooklyn Boys Held As Bogus Scouts Special to The Eagle Glen Cove, L.

The boys, Ray Fox, 18. and Wil liam Alderman, 19, had fair success, according to police, until they made the mistake of approaching Harold Wait, president of the Glen Cove Scout Council. He noted that for all their apparent maturity they wore Tenderfoot badges and became suspicious. 4 Brooklyn Men Locked Up, Get Writ Judge Thomas T.

Dealers Fight City Milk Plan David Levy, president of the Coun cil of Independent Milk Distributors, told Health Commissioner Rice at a conference today that his organization is opposed to Mayor LaGuar dla's plan for the sale of milk at 8 cents a quart. Meanwhile a special Federal Stat utory Court in Manhattan reserved decision on an injunction to prevent the State Milk Control Board from Interferrtng with thet city distrlbu tion. The question of thet constitution ality of the board was brought be fore the court. The United States Supreme Court sustained its right to nx prices. Today's application was brought by G.

A. P. Seellg, a New York concern whose milk comes from Vermont. The action was brought against Charles H. Baldwin, State Commissioner of Agriculture; Attorney General Bennett, Kenneth F.

Pee, director of the milk control division, and District Attorney Dodge. Mgr. Hickey Agrees With Cardinal Who Orders Boycott of Theaters as Indecency Protest Philadelphia, June 8 (P) Denis Cardinal Dougherty has appealed to all Catholics of the Philadelphia archdiocese "to register their united protest against immoral and indecent films by remaining away from all motion picture theaters." "To stay away from them is not merely a counsel but a positive command, binding all in conscience under pain of sin," he said. Hickey in Accord Commenting upon the Philadel phia action, Moris. David J.

Hickey, rector of the Church of St. Fran cis Xavier, 6th Ave. and Carroll and vicar general of the diocese, said today: 'I am heartily in accord with the stand taken by Cardinal Dougherty in his campaign against Indecent moving pictures and I hope that the drastic action he found necessary to take will be spread into all of the Catholic dioceses in the country." "Only a general boycott against patronizing the theaters which present objectionable pictures will clean up the situation. When the motion picture producers of Hollywood realize that a 'Legion of De cency' has been organized by the Catholl'; Church to ban attendance of Catnolic at all motion picture theaters, will they take any steps to reform their business? Just as soon as they feel the financial effect of the movement they will stop the output of these plays. If other churches join in this campaign, and I am confident they will, the pres sure will bring about the desired effect." "I know that every priest in the Brooklyn Diocese Is 100 percent with Cardinal Dougherty in his efforts to stamp out the exhibition of salacious moving pictures, and to Indorse wholehertedly clean educational pictures." Existing NRA Pacts to Stand Price Agreements in Approved Codes Not Affected by Ruling Washington, June 8 The new NRA policy against price fixing will not affect price agreements in codes already approved unless and until such codes are individually reconsidered and revised, it was stated this afternoon at NRA headquarters.

Automobile retailers whose "trade-in" allowance and used car prices are governed by their code, gasoline retailers, building supply houses and others who would be seriously affected by removal of price fixing clauses were greatly reassured by the statement. No Sweeping Revision No sweeping general code revision is in prospect, It was stated. The new rule against price fixing will be embodied in all codes still to be approved, but where price fixing is found in the 450 codes thus far put into effect, revision will depend upon the working out of amendments in each individual code in agreement with code authorities. While the new rule is Intended to prevent the maintenance of monopolistic prices, opinion in NRA circles is divided as to whether industries will favor or resist it. At the recent NRA conferences here, when such changes were predicted, several business spokesmen expressed their bitter resentment on the ground that if price fixing or price maintenance privileges were re moved from the codes, they might as well be abandoned.

One Big Code Panned Washington, June 8 (JP) NRA will announce soon one big "readymade" code lor several hundred miscella neous Industries whose pacts have not been completed. This basic code will be almost as simple as the President's re-employ ment agreement with which the Blue Eagle started Its flight a year ago. it alms to give the minor in dustries regulations which will be easily enforced yet reach the NRA's ohief objectives. These are: Shortened hours to make more jobs; wages not below living levels; recognition of labor's right to organize and bargain; prohibition of commercial dishonesty and the obvious forms of unfair trade prac- tiCd. President's Text To the Congress of the United States: You are completing a work begun in March, 1933, which will be regarded for a long time as a splendid justification of the vitality of representative government.

I greet you and express once more my appreciation of the co-operation which has proved so effective. Only a small numDer oi tne items of our program remain to be enacted, and I am confident that you will pass on them before adjournment. Many other pending meas ures are sounu in conception, urn, mncf fnr inrir nf time or of ade quate information, be deferred to the session of the next Congress. In the meantime, we can well seek to artlnsr. manv of these measures into certain larger plans of Government policy for the future or tne nation.

You and as the responsible di-rrtir nf these rjolicles and actions. may, with good reason, look to the future with confidence, just as we may look to the past 15 months with reasonable satisfaction. Cites Recovery Gains On the side of relief we have extended material aid to millions of our fellow citizens. On the side of recovery we have helped to lift agriculture and industry from a condition of utter prostration. But, in addition to these immediate tasks of relief and recovery we have properly, necessarily and with overwhelming approval determined to safeguard these tasks by rebuilding many of the structures of our economic life and of reorganizing it in order to prevent a recurrence of collapse.

We have shown the world that democ racy has within it the elements necessary to its own salvation. Less hopeful countries where the ways of democracy are very new may revert to the autocracy of yesterday.

The American people can be -trusted to decide wisely upon the measures to be taken by the Government to eliminate the abuses of the past and to proceed in tne direction of the greater good for the greater number. Forgotten Ideals Our task of reconstruction does not require the creation of new and strange values. It is rather the finding of the way once more to known, but to some degree forgot ten, ideals and values. If the means and details are in some instances new, the objectives are as permanent as human nature. Among our objectives I place the security of the men, women and children of the nation first.

This security for the individual and for the family concerns inself primarily with three factors.

Meanwhile, Johnson NRA Ad ministrator, conferred with Eugene Grace, a leader of the Iron and Steel Institute, on Johnson's propo sal for a mediation board to settle labor disputes such as the strike threatened for next week.

The Secretary added she thought it probable the President would question her on the subject today during a Cabinet meeting. Questioned by reporters, Secretary Perkins said: "I think It Is progress If these men and their international officers reach an agreement as to method.

It has been understood for some time that the steel operators were willing to entertain proposals for an independent labor board insofar as it did not entail recognition of the closed shop. This would preclude representa tion on the board of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. Crooker Principal Of Junior HighSchool Frederick F.
