P, SENATORS T0 URGE QUICK ACTION AT PRESENT SESSION Rivers and Harbors, Tariff and Other Legislation Also to Be Speeded EXPECT JULY ADJOURNMENT! Veterans’ Hospitalization and| Bus Regulations Bills to Be Considered Washington, May 26.—()—Senate Republicans decided at a party con- ference today to ‘attempt to dispose of the London naval treaty, the rivers and harbors bill, the tariff, and sev- eral other important pieces of legise lation before adjournment. Senator Watson, the majority leader, said no vote was taken but the consensus was that the legislative program should be disposed of first in order to give a clear path for the treaty when it is reported from the foreign relations committee. He said veterans legislation probably would ‘be considered as well as the house bill to regulate bus transportation. ‘The Republican leader said the pro- gram made it unlikely congress could adjourn before early in July. Disposal of the legislative program first, he said, would give ample time for the foreign relations and naval committees to complete treaty hear- ds and clear the way for floor de- te. ‘The tariff conference report is ex- pected to require about ten days in the senate. He would not hazard a prediction as to how long the rivers and harbors bill would take. All legislation decided to be taken up at this session has been acted up- | on by the house. Senate committees have made radical changes in the house bills on rivers and harbors, vet- erans’ hospitalization .and bus regu- lation, howe" if approved by {aton, nome ystid necensthte further house action. ‘The party conference went into the merits of the naval treaty to some ex- tent, Watson said, but he did not make clear what objections were rais- GRUNDY S CARPAL CST WAS $2940 Additional Amount Spent by Friends; Davis’ Purse Is Lighter by $10,541 Washington, May 26.—(P)—Investi- gating its second Pennsylvania pri- mary in four years, a senate commit- tee learned today that Senator Jo- seph R Grundy spent $291,000 of his own money in his unsuccessful cam- paign for re-nomination and that the winner of the Republican senatorial nomination, Secretary James J. Da- vis, paid out of his own pocket $10,541. ‘The total expenditure on behalf of Grundy was given at $332,076, but. Davis was unable to state how much was spent for him, explaining his campaign for senator and that of Francis Shunk Brown for governor ‘were conducted by a joint committee. In the 1928 primary investigation, William E. Vare’s expenditure of $785,000 was found by the senate fo be excessive, and he was denied a seat.” Asked where the line should be drawn, Grundy safd the primary law required so much expenditure that no| limit should apply. “The money has to be spent.” said Grundy. “Whatever the cost of edu- cating the people is right.” Paul Unruh, Beulah _| Boy, Is Hurt in Fall Paul Unruh, 13-year-old Beulah boy, is in a critical condition in a local hospital with a severe head in- jury, it was reported today by hos- the injury last ‘Thursday when he fell from a horse he was riding.

Hero Award /DISAGREEMENT ON TARIFF BILL 1S HELD | Measure Nears End of Stormy Journey After Year and a Half in Congress ‘SENATE TO BEGIN DEBATE Opponents Muster Strength for Last Stand; Two Points to Be Attacked Washington, May 26.—4)—The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, after near- ly @ year and a half of intensive con- troversy, today reached the last stage of its stormy journey through con- gress. An apparently serious disagreement, on the flexible provisions between President Hoover and conferees of the house and senate proved only a mis- understanding and the last obstacle in the way of immediate introduction of the conference report was removed. The senate will begin debate to- morrow, leading up to a final vote | approving or rejecting the measure. Opponents of the bill meanwhile mustered their strength for a last, determined stand. They chose two principal points of attack. The first of these was a contention that the plan for emergency cus- toms rate changes worked out by the conference committee is unconstitu- tional. ‘This authorizes the tariff commission to recommended increases or decreases within a limit of 50 per cent, which would become effective at the expiration of 60 days unless put into operation sooner by the pres- ident or specifically disapproved by him. Over the week-end there were Gefinite indications that the plan was unsatisfactory to President Hoo- ver, However, when Mr. Hoover return- ed from his fishing preserve in the Blue Ridge mountains late yesterday, he immediately began a series of conferences which resulted in an an- nouncement that he had been misin- | formed as to the exact provisions of the compromise and that it had his approval. Under existing law, the president is empowered to order changes in the tariff rates, upon recommendation of the commission, but they cannot be- come effective without his approval. The conference plan broadens the basis of any action by the commis- sion to include not only production costs, as at present, but also invoice values and competitive conditions. The second point of attack was a point of order, based upon the con- tention that conferees had exceeded their authority in adjusting the rates on cheese, cl » rayon, watches and clocks.

RECORD ESTABLISHED FOR PARACHUTE JUMP Los Angeles, May 26.—()—Bert White, 27, today held the unofficial world’s parachute jump record, the result of a leap yesterday from an airplane as it soarded 25,000 feet above the Mojave desert near Lan- caster, Calif. Trusting his life to the silken fal ric, White dropped from a plane pi- loted by Earl Gordon and hurtled through the air in what was believed the highest altitude jump ever at- tempted by man. He said he was un- conscious from the time he leaped un- til somewhere in Midair, and that he landed 28 minutes after regaining his senses. His parchute was tripped au- tomatically by a cord attached to the Plane. Some concern was felt for White after Gordon landed and reported that he had been unable to locate the parachute rider in the aid. Gordon said he dived and circled the spot where White jumped but the wind evidently carried the parachute away from the course of the plane. .The jumper was not located until’an hour after he reached the ground, He suffered no ill effects, except tem- porary loss of speech. A sealed barograph, which White carried strapped to his body, will be sent to Washington for official cali- bration.

The court declared purchasers were not guilty with the seller in violating the prohibition law when they accept delivery of bootleg liquor. The case was that of James E. Far- rar of Boston, selected as a test case by the government. Attorney General Mitchell selected it in an attempt to solve several troublesome questions in prohibition enforcement. The federal district court quashed the Farrar indictment, holding it was not an offense under the prohibition act to purchase liquor from a bootlegger. The government took the position in the supreme court that all pur- chases of liquor, except under a per- mit or @ physician's prescription were illegal. Counsel for Farrar argued the per- mits which the government insisted were necessary to legalize the pur- chase of Iquor were issued only to manufacturers and others authorized to withdraw liquor and alcohol for other than beverage purchases, and did not apply to purchasers from bootleggers. He also pointed out while the prohibition amendment was being framed in congress, unsuccess- ful efforts were made to penalize purchasers, and that senator Shep- pard of Texas, one of the proponents af the prohibition amendment, recog- nized it did not cover purchases of liquor from bootleggers and now had pending a bill to make such purchases MINNESOTA CRASHES COST THREE LIVES 18 Persons Injured, 5 Seriously, in week-End Automo- bile Accidents ously.
