Washington, June 13.—(P)—Presi- | dent Roosevelt threw down the gaunt- let to congress Tuesday on the vet- erans issue, sending word he would not yield from the compromise he made with the house on payments made to ex-soldiers. 1 After a conference between the} President and Democratic leaders at the white house, the word was spread through the senate that the president would not give an inch and would veto the appropriation bill if congress 4 Went further than the compromise to which he has agreed.

Leaders were expected to convey the president's attitude to the senate when, the conferees reported back later 4 Tuesday, and bring a showdown on the issue. Is Barring Adjournment ‘The veterans fight was the big ob- stacle to an early adjournment of congress. Indications were, however, . tha a rough road lay ahead for the legislation, with doubt expressed by! Democratic leaders that the senate would concur in the agreement reach- ed by the house and President Roose- velt. No predictions on adjournment were made but some leaders still hoped for} it by Wednesday night. The house recessed, subject to call by Speaker Rainey, until there was work for it to do or it became time; QUICK ACCEPTANCE OF BANKING BILL IS EXPECTED IN SENATE House Votes Approval of Con- ference Report; Present System Threatened Washington, June 13.—(#)—The {house Tuesday afternoon adopted the compromise Glass-Steagall bank re- form-insurance deposit bill, sending it to the senate where quick accept- ance of the conference agreement al- So was expected by the leaders.

This course was to be announced in ‘the hot {of the Exchequer Neville Chamber- jlain at 10 p. m..(3 p. m. C. 8. T.), ac- cording to the same authority. Delay in the chancellor's announce- ment, originally set for several hours earlier, was explained as being the re- ‘sult of the British wish for clarifice- tion of just what the president meant in saying he was willing to accept in his own name, but could not bind congress. ‘When the British cabinet met Mon- day night, highest sources asserted, \they had word from Roosevelt that ‘the “token” payment was acceptable on those terms, but they felt they had to know more definiteiy just what he meant. Tuesday was spent in straight- tening out the interpretation. Roosevelt,.on his own part, wanted definite assurance that the 10 per cent payment—10 per cent being the basis of the reparations settlement accord- ed Germany at Lausanne—would not ‘be regarded as the basis of the final debt settlement. MILL CITY VOTERS ELECT BAINBRIDGE INRACE FOR MAYOR New Exeoutive Is Liberal; Wil- liam Anderson, Defeated Incumbent, Is Dry Minneapolis, June 13.—(?—Curfew shall not ring tonight, A. G. “Buzz” Bainbridge told his voters’ audience Tuesday as he trod the polfical stage (not theatrical) for the first time. “and that’s for the wags who have been calling Minneapolis a ‘nine o'clock town’,” said the city’s new mayor, the 47-year-old theatrical pro- ducer, who, as.a youngster, ran away from home to join a circus. closed up tight, sending everyone home with the curfew. I want every- one to know they can come to Min- neapolis and enjoy themselves as they do in other cities.” He explained that doesn’t mean a wi-e-open town, for law breaking won't be tolerated. But things will be at a happy medium between a “tight” and an “open” one. His triumph over the incumbent, May William Anderson, in Mon- day's municipal election, was his po- litical debut. He has made and aided others to make any number of theatrical debuts at his stock theatre here which boasts of the longest con- tinuous stock run of any theatre in the United States. Complete unofficial -returns gave | Bainbridge 74,140; Anderson 63,704. Thirteen aldermen and minor city officials also were elected in one of the heaviest total votes in the city’s history, estimated at about 150,000. Massachusetts Folk Vote on Prohibition Boston, June 13.—(P)—It seemed Tuesday that only the greatest of up- sets could prevent Massachusetts from being the eleventh consecutive state to go on record for repeal of the 18th amendment. Repealists were confident that the final count of Tuesday's ballots would find Massachusetts’ 45 delegates to the state convention all pledged to re- peal of the prohibition amendment. Prohibition spokesmen refrained from making any predictions on the out- come of the voting. ‘The states which already have vot- ed in favor of repeal Wyoming, Illt- nois, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Rhode Island, Delaware, Wisconsin and Nevada. Forty-five delegates are to be chos- en to the convention, three from each of the 15 congressional districts. All candidates are pledged for or against repeal.

The court ruled: that application of ithe law to mortgages executed prior, to its passage impairs the obligations of contract and deprives a person of {property without due process of law, {in violation of the state and federal constitutions. Laws fixing the period of redemp- | tion from a real estate foreclosure sale, | existing at the time of entering into! a contract of mortgage, the court held, | is a part of the contract of the r-.ort- gage, and any change in the la- fix- ing the period of redemption .s an impairment of the obligations of such a.contract. | Is Emergency Measure i The act, extending the time in (which redemption may be made from ireal estate mortgage foreclosure andj jreal estate execution sales, was held to be “an emergency measure, temporary ir character, the provisions of which, by its own terms, expire in two years; and such a law is a valid enactment igoverning mortgages executed and foreclosed during the period of its operation. “Laws now in force, inconsistent | therewith, so far as such mortgages tare concerned, are suspended for two years from February 21, 1933, but thereafter are in force and effect, and foreclosure sales made after the date named are to be governed by such laws now suspended.” The law was an emergency measure which became effective last February} 21, In the exercise of the police power! of the state, the court's decision sald, | the determination by the legislature that such a great social emergency exists as demands the exercise of the police power “is entitled to great res- pect, and ordinarily is controlling on the courts; but where the legislature. | in enacting mee:ures to cope with such social emergency, assumes power which by the constitution of this state is expressly forbidden to it and is taken forever out of the powers of igovernment of this state, the legis- lature is prevented by the constitu- tion from exercising such power, no matter what the reason may be.” Grave Social Problem ‘The court said it is clear from the law that in its enactment the legis- lature “was endeavoring to grapple with a grave social emergency con- fronting the people of this state, an; emergency which, in the opinion of the law-making body of the state had become a menace'to the public health, peace and comfort of the state.” Judicial notice was taken by the court that because of enactment of the law “and the official declarations which followed, prudent men placed confidence in these acts and declara- our people have proceeded on the theory that all foreclosures are gov- erned by this act.” Where, under such conditions, “men in good faith” have proceeded to sow crops, the court said, they will be given protection of their rights by the courts. Protect Tenants Rights “Mortgagors and their tenants who remained in possession under the provisions of this law and the dec- larations of public officials are not trespassers,” the court held. “They have equitable rights in crops plant- ed by their labor and with their money. Such equitable rights the courts of the land will protect fully and completely.” The court's decision affirms the judgment of District Court Judge George M. McKenna who granted & writ of mandamus requiring the sheriff of Emmons county to execute a sheriff's deed. The action was brought by Harry C. Clevering in Emmons county who obtained a cer- tificate of mortgage. sale from the sheriff Feb. 27, 1932. No redemption was made at the expiration of the one-year period of redemption and Clevering demanded a sheriff's deed, which the sheriff refused. Clevering applied to the district court and a writ of mandamus was granted. The sheriff appealed to the supreme court contending that under the new law the period of redemption had been extended two years and applied to mortgages executed before passage of the law. i LIGHTNING KILLS THREE i | Huntington, W.

LIER BRAVES HEAD WINDS AT START OF PLIGHT FOR ALASKA Mattern Takes Off From Kha- barovsk For Nome; May Stop At Petropaviovsk Moscow, June 13. — (>) — Jimmie Mattern started for home Tuesday, braving headwinds on his takeoff from Khabarovsk, Siberia, for Nome, Alaska, one of the most arduous laps of his flight around the globe. He started for American soil just nine days, six hours and 54 minutes after leaving New York in the first solo attempt to circle the world. He left at 10:15 p. m. Monday, Moscow time (2:15 p. m. E. S. T. Monday). The Texan wanted to cross the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering sea with- out stopping, but latest weather re- ports were none too reassuring and it was considered likely he would pause at Petropavlovsk, on the Kam- chatka peninsula northeast of Kha- barovsk. He landed at the latter place at 3:20 a. m. Sunday, Moscow time (7:20 p. m. Saturday, E. S. T.), and in the interim gained hard-earned sleep while his plane was being inspected preparatory to taking the long trail ahead. His thoughts Tuesday were no longer of breaking the globe flight record of Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, but rather of setting a solo war debts, precipitated into the con- ference by the addresses of delegates despite the fact that the subject was barred from the agenda. The other imbroglio concerned monetary mat- ters.

He went to a secret meeting of the parley steering committee Tuesday after- noon. War Debts Cause Delay Man delegates expressed the view the British war debt crisis might have had something to do with the delay, especially in view of the eagerly a- waited announcement by Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain mark that would stand for some time, on the debts before the house of com- mons late Tuesday.

Foggy weather and low tempera- tures over the ice-choked Bering sea were believed to have caused Mat- tern to depart from a straight course between Khabarovsk, Siberia, and Nome. No uneasiness was felt when the aviator failed to arrive on sched- ule, ———~_—+ {Too Many Brains Is | | Held Headache Cause, ne Milwaukee, Wis., June 13.—(?) —If you have one of those split- ting migraine headaches it may be it’s because your brain is de- veloping faster than the skull that contains it. So said Dr. Peter Bassoe of Chicago Monday before the con- vention of the American Medical association. The doctor said he believed migraine is a protest against the speed with which ev- olutionary forces are developing the frontal lobes of the brain. It may be, he added, that there is an actual physical pressure be- cause the brain's development is me rapid than that of the skull. RAPS CHILD LABOR Detroit, Mich., June 13.—(?)—Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the federal children’s bureau, Tuesday urged tak- ing children out of industry in an ad- dress before the child labor commit- tee meeting ‘in connection with the national council of social work. She advocated adoption of the child labor amendment as a means to this end, ADMITS TWO HOLDUPS East Grand Forks, Minn., June 13. —(#)—Keith Kragness, 25, of Minnea- polis, who also gave the name of Ed Steele, waived preliminary examina- tion and was bound over to district court on a robbery charge by Muni- cipal Judge D. J. McDonald here Monday, after admitting two holdups ‘committed Saturday night. JAPAN PLANS BOYCOTT Osaka, Japan, June 13.—(#)—The Cotton Spinners’ federation Tuesday unanimously approved a boycott lowed Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- Donald's lead of Monday and dealt with the forbidden subject of the war debts. Indeed, General Jan Christiaan Smuts of the Union of South Africa bitterly assailed America, charging failure to cooperate with Europe in this matter. The trend of all the ar- guments was the same—a demand for immediate solution. But that was not all. The Ameri- cans also found themselves facing a stone wall of opposition in currency matters. Both French and Italian speakers, while avoiding the war debts bitterly assailed depreciation. American delegation headquarters had been hopeful that a grave mone- tary controversy might be avoided by the selection of one of the United States delegates to head the import- ant currency committee, but determ- ined European opposition intervened. Sensation followed sensation in the morning session Tuesday, which met in a state of excitement as a result of the war debts crisis when Secretary of State Hull did not appear. Premier Daladier of France took his place. It was understood that the U. 8. delegates had discussed the debt im- broglio, which Premier MacDonald ot Great Britain, chairman of the par- ley, precipitated Monday by raising the question of inter-governmental debts on the floor of the conference, against the wishes of America. Then Finance Minister Jung of Italy and General Smuts took the floor, and in substance reiterated MacDonald's jcontroversy-producing remarks of Monday. Jung, like the British Prime Minis- ter, demanded immediate settlement of the debt question. Settled at Lausanne General Smuts declared the debt issue was settled at the Lausanne conference and that should be the end of it. The United States, General Smuts maintained, “failed to fall in line” after the Lausanne reparations con- ference, ‘Thus, although it had been prev- jously agreed that war debt had no place on the conference agenda, three of the first four speakers, including MacDonald himself, brought up the forbidden subject. | Premier Daladier’s address provid- ed no sensation. He confined him- self mainly to a plea for stabilization of currency, Monetary security, Daladier said, is against Indian raw cotton in retalia-| indispensible as a first step and an tion against a recent 50 per cent in-}end to the monetary war is of pri- crease in Indian duties against non-|mary importance to world recovery.
