A fifth attempt failed. The Tyson bill to grant retire- ment rights to disabled world war emergency officers; the Oddie bill for a $10,500,000 building program on western public lands; the bills calling for increased pay for night postal workers and to grant fourth class postmasters rental, fuel and light allowances were all passed over executive disapproval. Finally the Steck bill to establish the posi- tion of bandmaster in the army failed to gain the two thirds major- ity necessary. The postal bills be- came laws, because the house had perocly. overriden the president ut house action still must be ob- tained on the others.

N. Parrish, president of the institution, when they re- turned the fire. The Jirst shot of the younger Parrish wounded one of the four, but the father missed and fell with a bullet in his head. A moment later a bullet pierced his son's heart. Scooping up about $7,000 in cur- rency and nearly $195,000 in nego- tiable securities, the robbers forced two tellers into an automobile and escaped. One of the tellers was re- leased near here, but the fate of the other was unknown. Posse in Gua Fight Posses were organized and one group under the leadership of the sheriff engaged in a running gun fight with the robbers. Bullets soon disabled the sheriff's automobile and the men had evaded other pur- suers. The fugitives were next reported at Trinidad, where they forced the woman proprietor of a drug store to dress the wounds of the man shot by young Parrish. He was shot in the arm and in the side. Their ap- pearance caused the orgarization of more posses and shortly after mid- night more than 1,000 volunteers were patrolling highways.

D., May 24.—Most of Senator McNary Opposed to Attempt to Override Presi- dential Veto DEMOCRATS OFFER PLEA Invite ‘Helpless Republican Minority’ to Join Them to Gain Objective Washington, May 24.—(%)—Twice turned down at the White House after having passed successive con- gresses, the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill leaned on uncertain sup- ports at the Capitol today, as lead- ers continued to sound out sentiment as to what should be done in view of the few remaining days of the session. Senator McNary, Republican, Ore- gon, co-author of the measure, be- lieved it would be futile to endeavor to muster the two-thirds vote neces- sary for passage over the presi- dent’s veto. McNary, who is chairman of the Senate agriculture committee, called a meeting of that group to- day to discuss a plan of action. The House, which passed the bill 26 votes short of the required two- thirds, will not act officially on the veto until the Senate disposes of it. Representative Haugen, Republican, Towa, who helped frame the meas- ure, declined to comment on the veto. That the farm issue, failing of settlement before congress recesses, will be injected into the maneuver- ings at the Republican national con- vention next month is regarded as a certainty by political leaders in and out of congress. Farm Leaders Disappointed Chicago dispatches said promi- nent agricultural leaders throughout the middle west today expressed disappointment and regret over the presidential veto of the McNary- Haugen bill. A number of Republican candi- dates for state office decried thé veto and some Democrats invited the “helpless minority of the Republican party to join” with them to obtain Fefficient relief.” Claude H. McKenzie of St. Paul, Republican national committeeman, said: “It is regrettable the presi- dent could not have signed the bill.” Frank W. Murphy, Minnesota member of the resolutions commit- tee at the coming national Repub- lican convention, termed~the presi- dent’s action “the most amazing and unwarranted official act of any president in the last half century.” J.

So far as Wisconsin is con- cerned, the bill was detrimental to interests of the farmer.” Ben Fuelleman, publisher of the Agricultor, said a poll of Wisconsin farmers showed them four to one inst the plan. an H. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau feder- ation, urged congress to pass the measure over the prasidentiat veto. reidet hearer is agri: The president of the Hlinoi i- cultural. association, Earl C. Smith, characterized the veto as “utter dis- regard of the great agricultural question by those controlling the policies of the administration.” Charles E. Hearst, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau federation, said: “Agriculture must have an understanding and sympathetic ad- ministration in Washington if it is to obtain justice at the hands of the overnment.” . Henry A. Wallace, of Des Moines, editor of Wallace’s Farmer, predicted “a desperate effort to save the Revublican party” at Kansas City. From his farm at Oregon, IIl., former Governor Frank O.

Bis-| pole PLANE DROPS CROSS AT TOP OF THE WORLD Vatican Hears of Expedition’s Success in Radio Message from Ship BASE AWAITING RETURN Italia Remains Over Pole Two Hours, Nobile Announces by Wireless Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, May 24, —(AP)—A cross containing a mes- sage written by Pope Pius was dropped on the north pole today from the dirigible Italia, marking the third trip by air to the top of the world. General Umberto Nobile kept in constant communication with the mother ship Citta di Milano here as the dirigible made its way under his command to the pole some 750 miles north of here, At 1:20 a, m. almost 21 hours after the start of the ven- ture, he wirelessed that the airship was over the north pole. The flags of Italy and Milan, the cross presented by the pope to Gen- eral Nobile and various souvenirs were dropped on the pole. The cross is about six feet high with a metal uae and has a repository in which a message written in Latin by Pope Pius was placed. Immediately afterwards, the_air- ship sent. wireless greetings to King Victor Emmanuel, Premier Musso- lini and Nobile’s wife by wireless through the Citta di Milano, Expected at Base The base crew expected the Italia to return to Kings Bay this after- noon. Gen. Nobile made his launching of the pope’s cross and the Italian flag upon the pole coincide with Italy’s celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of her entry into the World war. News of the Italia’s reaching the pole came this morning just as the church bells were pealing in honor of the war anniversary and a num- ber of airplanes encircled the city for two hours. The base ship Citta di Milano, which was in communication with the Italia until 7:30 o'clock this morning when the dirigible asked for its position, was trying to get in touch with the airship this morning, no word having been received from the Italia since that time. As the airship carries only one radio operator it was believed that he was taking a much needed sleep after having obtained the dirigible’s position. The personnel of the Citta di Mi- lano said that the airship remained over the north pole for two hours, but that General Nobile sent no mes- sages as to whether a descent had been made from the airship as had been planned. They were inclined to think that no one descended, VATICAN RECEIVES MESSAGE FROM SHIP Rome, May 24.—(AP)—The Vati- ean announced this morning that the following message had been re- ceived from General Umberto No- bile, commander of the dirigible Italia on its successful flight to the “At 1:20 a. m. today, the twenty- fourth, with profound emotion we have let fall upon the ice of the north pole, the cross which Your Holiness entrusted to us. “I and my companions express to Your Holiness our gratitude for the most high mission bestowed upon us and renew the expression of our profoundest devotion.” King Victor Emmanuel also ree ceived a message from General No» bile, reading as follows: “From the north pole, the crew of the Italia sends reverent thought to your majesty.” Another message was received by Premier Mussolini reading as fol- lows: “Today (Thursday) at 1:20 o'clock, the flag of Italy once more was spread to the breeze over the polar ice.
