Cermak Assassin Taunts Witnesses in Death Chamber
Giuseppe Zangara Calls for Current as He Seats Self in Chair for Electrocution
FORTY SEE EXECUTION
Railford, Fla., March 29 — (UP) — An snailing scornful Giuseppe Zangara spat out his last words of hatred for a capitalistic world at 9:17 a.m. and commander Sheriff Dan Hardie to "push the button." Five minutes later he was in detention for the assassination of Major Anton J. Cermak of Chicago.
"Loupy capitalists," he taunted the witnesses in the execution chamber. Then, with a touch of the sarcasm that marked his court appearances he demanded "What? Nobody take picture." No one did. You no have to put me in chair."
With the same bravado, with the same grim satirical comments since he fired six shots in his mad attack on President Roosevelt 33 days ago he made his exit by way of the electric chair. At 9:26 a.m. the prison doctor applied the stethescope over his heart and announced that Zangara was dead.
He seated himself in the chair and added, "push the bottom."
Sheriff Hardie said, "Just a minute Joc."
Apparently the secutiful prisoner was attempting to phrase one more sentence.
It appeared to b "Goodbye."
The electric current jolting through the small body cut the word short.
Superintendent Chapman announced that Zangara's body would be buried in the prison cemetery here as no relative or friend had claimed it.
The execution was witnessed by 40 persons, 12 of whom were official witnesses. National guarddons stood guard at the entrance to the number at the time of the electrocution.

Garnett Fossils Show Kansas Dry Eons Age
Elias Tells of Research on Paleo-botanical Plant
Study
Maxim K. Elisa, of the Kansas Geological survey, announced today that recent fossil plant discoveries near Garrett reveal that the climate of eastern Kansas was intermittently semi-arid for 200,000 years ago possibly longer.
Dr. Elias has just returned from Washington, D.C. following a seven-week study trip there. He has conducted exhaustive investigation of fossil plants in the paleo-botanical department of the United States National Museum, in Washington, using type material from all over the country with recent Kansas discoveries.
"This work," Mr. Elas said, "is a part of the research in connection with the thorough revision of the sedimentary rocks along the boundary by the Kansas Geological survey under the direction of Dr. R. C. Moore. The data is of both geological and botanical interest."
The principal objects of study during the Washington stay of Dr. Elias were specimens of confers found in the Garnett bed. The remains of the most common confér in this bed consist of two large, leafy lest, the first two kinds being quite similar to those of modern conférs. The nutlet fruits, however, are related to similar nuts of Podocarpus of the Orient and Australia. This type of nutlet is also a developmental apposition from the female core produced by other living conférs.
The finding of these fossils in the Pennsylvaniaian bed at Garnett places the age of conifers in America one geological period back. That is to say, these specimens are approximately 50 million years old, any previously found. The earliest previous conifers all came from the so-called Permian Strata.
"The staff of the National Museum," Dr. Elas added, "did everything possible to facilitate my studies during my visit." The widowed great interest in the problem.
Dr. Elias's son, Max, accompanied his father on the trip, spending most of his time in study at the zoological laboratories of the National Museum. He then attended a memorial Memorial high school last year at the age of 15, is spending this year doing practical work at the Museum of Paleontology here, and expects to enter the University next fall. Max was the honor society in his senior year.

Slash Veteran's Pay
Nearly Four Hundred Million

In conjunction with the estimated $150,800,000 in taxes from legalized beer and the $137,000,000 gasoline tax, the measure is expected to bring the budget to a near-balance and provide the federal credit.
SALARIES TO BE CU
**Veterans' Cut to Be $833,000,000**
The veterans' cuts will be applied along the lines of a rough schedule of payment. Hines and designed to cut $833,000,000 from the post-war costs by drastic reductions of non-service connected disability payments, reserve officers are charged for training on long scale of pensions and allowance.
Virtually no payments escaped the cut. Direct services connected disability cases can not be strenge from the rolls, but they may be cut by executive order. The same limitation applies to war veterans more than 62 years old.
Few Amendments Made
The federal salary cut would be based on a determination of present living costs in relation to those of the first half of 1928, but in no case would they increase.

Further administrative economies amounting to more than $10,000,000 are contemptulated under the reorganizing power granted the President by the last legislature to establish a balance or combine any government agencies not headed by cabinet offices.

French Aviation Advances Development of Southern Trans-Atlantic Route Is Being Advanced
Paris, March 20 - (UP) - France occupies third place in the world's mercantile 7viation, according to figures compiled by the Ministry of Air.
Since organization of the first regular mail and passenger services in 1919, French civil aviation has grown steadily along two general lines: the network Linking Paris with the other European capitals and the colonial service.
France has the distinction of having a greater number of airplanes per in-land passenger traffic, though world wide conditions have slowed down air traffic, both national and colonial, work is in progress for further development of long distance travel.
Two projects are being advanced by aviation circles: perfection of the trans-Atlantic line to South America and realization of the Paris-Medagasque route through Central Africa, with refueling stations in the Sahara.
Notable progress has been made in the diminution of accidents. France now is perhaps the most air minded nation and the competition for pilots' licenses has the result that only acces passengers' lives.
The number of passengers taken aloft during 1952 was 36,892. The weight of freight and mail carried was 115,621, kg, and 172,568 kilograms, respectively.
There were only four accidents on French lines in 1822. In these crashes nine persons, of which only two were passengers, were killed.
