Previously, the senate had added $118,000,000 in veterans’ benefits to the measure, while the house had voted only $83,000,000. The senate now agrees to the lower figure. 4, Batlier the senate had joined the house in approving restoration of 10 per cent of the 15 per cent which had been taken from the pay envelope of government employes. The long congressional dispute over veterans’ benefits was virtually con- cluded when senate administration leaders agreed to the clarifying amendment offered by Senator Stei- wer (Rep., Ore.). Leaders of the move for more lib- eral treatment of the veterans then agreed to accept the house benefits on the theory they were the best that could be obtained. Their views were summarized by Steiwer in saying there was less chance of a veto of the bill in this form and more hope of passing it over a veto if one was forthcoming, Restores Many to Rolls The Stetwer amendment, corrares « Without a roll call, changes the language to make certain it would not affect adversely certain combat cases in restoring to the rolls at 75 per cent of former benefits 29,000 vet- erans with presumptive service-con- nected disabilities.

Minneapolis, March 26.—(#)—The Plague of agriculture—drought, with its withering effect on plant life—has cast an ominous shadow over the crop outlook for Minnesota, North and South Dakota.

The largest attendance on a single day for any style show ever held here was reached Saturday when more than 1,400 people viewed the new cars, styles and modern displays in the World War Memorial auditorium. Besides the 3,000 who paid admis- sion, auto dealers from this state, South Dakota and Montana were giv- en passe! Merchants and local car dealers who took part in the annual affair, were enthusiastic over the show success. Many sales have been re- ported by automobile men, and number of live prospects were ob- tained through the show. “I have never seen as much inter- est in new cars and trucks as there was this year,” M. B. Gilman, general chairman, said. According to Gilman, many firms have wired their home offices telling if the success of the affair. “More of our dealers attended the style and auto show than ever were in Bismarck on any other one occa- Ww.

At least a dozen injured per- sons had been brought out of the wreckage but an hour after the ca- tastrophe no dead had been reported. A baby was reported imprisoned, dead or , under a house. The wind struck suddenly with ter- rific force, residents said. All of a sudden it turned dark as minight, lights went out and roaring, whistling, crashing noises followed. The blow had come and gone in two minutes but left destruction, turmoil and ter- ror in its wake. The wind followed the Almonaster canal and blew out on Lake Pont- chartrain. As the wind struck, the screams of horrified men, women and children were heard and when the eRe i ? 2 z ~ He F ; tli ENDS SPECTACULAR PROMOTER'S CAREER C. C. Julian, Wanted for Fraud in Big Oil Deals, Takes Own Life in China JUMPED BAIL TO ESCAPE Girl Secretary Also Attempts to End Her Life After Em- ployer’s Death Shanghai, March 26.—(%)—The death of C. C. Julian, who made mil- lions in oil and died in poverty was coldly and officially recorded in a Shanghai public mortuary Monday. C. E. Vandeveer, an American who knew Julian in California a quarter of a century ago, identified the body. It was said there would be no offi- cial opinion as to the cause of death until a formal inquest Thursday. Phy- sicians who worked over Julian after he had been found in an Astor House hotel room Sunday by the young wom- an who was his dinner companion, said that without doubt Julian took his own life. However, some of Julian's close as- sociates here insisted they believed he killed himself unintentionally. Vandeveer said Monday he had helped Julian financially since the latter's arrival in Shanghal a year ago in default of $25,000 bail in Okla- homa, where he was charged with fraud in connection with his financial operations. Is Recovering Julian’s midnight dinner compan- ion at the fashionable hotel, Leonora Levy, his secretary, was believed re- covering Monday from the same po- tire that’ physicians said killed Ju- jan. In a hospital, she regained con- sciousness Sunday afternoon long enough to tell nurses: “Julian said he would do it. I did not believe him, but he did it . . . he was a brave man.” Miss Levy found Julian in his hotel room, dying, when she became alarm- ed at his prolonged absence after ex- cusing himself from their table. After bursting into Julian’s room, the wom- an called hotel officials. Julian died in @ hospital at 6 o'clock ‘ Sunday morning. Miss Levy accompanied Julian to the hospital and remained outside his room until he died. Then she returned to the hotel. There she was found in a critical condition from the effects of the poison which killed Ju- lian. The funeral is expected to be held Tuesday or Wednesday. It seemed likely that this man, who once was a multimillionaire and who even fo the time of his death claimed to own property in California and Oklahoma worth millions, would go to @ charity grave.

HUGE TELESCOPE T0 AID IN EXPLORING MYSTERIES OF SKY Largest Instrument in World Expected to Reveal Se- crets of Universe Corning, N. Y., March 26—(7)—A huge telescopic eye, the largest ever made and expected to reveal vast, un- explored depths of the universe, cool-, ed slowly Monday in its honeycombed mold in preparation for the final stages of a costly astronomical exper- iment. Twenty tons of molten blue-white glass were poured Sunday into the brick mold at the Corning glass works. When finally fashioned by annealing and grinding into a titanic disk, 200 inches in diameter and 26 inches deep, it will be fitted into a telescope in California. The disc will be twice as large as any other. The mirror, when finished four years hence, will reach depths of the void more than one billion light years distant. The most powerful as- tronomical eye now in use, at Mount Wilson, California, throws back images only 300,000,000 light years dis- tant. Although officials said they fully expected the eye poured Sunday will be a success, they disclosed that sev- eral hemispherical “cores” attached to the bottom of the mold disintegrat- ed under the terrific heat. They indicated this probably would be of little moment, but said that a precaution planned some tine ago will be followed. A new mold will be pre- pared. If, on examination two or three months hence, imperfections are discovered in the glass, a new disc can then be poured forthwith. Will Have Mirror Surface Finally there will be the task of af-|° fixing a mirror surface, these last stages will require three years.

He and Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson ob- tained an agreement from the execu- tives and labor leaders Sunday night after weeks of exhausting negotia- tions. It established representation for all employes in dealing with man- agement, while extending fresh safe- guard to all unions against intimida- tion or interference, “It is my hope,” said the president, “that this system may develop into 8 kind of works council in industry in which all groups of employes, what- ever may be their choice of organi- zation or form of representation, may Participate in joint conference with their employers.” Under the agreement the NRA planned to complete before nightfall @ three-man board, with one neutral member and one from either side. It will sit in Detroit and there settle all questions of employe representation, including discharges and claims of discrimination.

The union lists need not be dis- closed to the management except on order of the president himself, but unless they are, union men cannot bring claims of discrimination. In laying off men, when the high production period ends, the nies are ple compa- ledged to consider “human relationships” first—to protect the jobs of married men with families above all and then take seniority, in- dividual skill and efficient service as guides.
