Reed of Missouri, is to make on the case of Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania.

Its members feel that the presence here of tens of thou- sands of enfranchised Americans is an ideal moment to remind the country of the humiliating plight of 500,000 dis- franchised fellow citizens.

CHICAGO, February 22.—The killers' car used in last week's gang massacre has been found, police sald today, in a garage not three miles from the scene of the murder. Efforts to destroy it led to the dis- covery, for an acetylene torch used to cut through the steel frame ignited the garage. Firemen, finding the machine, called police, and police, after a careful survey, including the photographing of fingerprints inside the garage and on parts of the car, believed themselves near solution of the worst gang outrage in Chicago history.

GLAZIER RACKET QUIZ | STARTED IN CHICAGO { Prosecutors Charge $500,000 a Year Yielded to “Union” System. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, February 22.—A glazier racket, which prosecutors said yielded approximately $500,000 a year to a so- called “union” system, was under in- vestigation of the special grand jury today. As the start of what the State's at- torney’s office said would be a deter~ mined drive against rackets, 20 glass contractors were called in yesterday to tell of their ‘dealings with self-styled union heads who forced monthly tributes from them. As the glaziers’ troubles were being Investigated new light was shed on the racketeer situation with the statement of Earl H.

By the Assoclated Press. Opponents of the crulser construction program have been beaten in their ef- forts to keep the naval appropriation bill from being taken up by the Senate. After voting yesterday to take up the bill, the Senate also reached an agree- ment to restrict debate on the measure after 3 p.m. today. This was taken to mean that the naval bill would pass and that money provided i it to begin work on five during this fiscal year would be It was feared that opposition to the bill might resuit in a filibuster, but two other thréatened filibusters still remain to be dealt with. Senator Walsh of Montana has expressed strong opposi- ton to a provision in the Interior De- partment bill which would give the Sec- retary of the Interior the right to con- demn privately owned lands-in national parks. Walsh proposed a compromise to provide that the Secretary would be prohibited from condemning any pri- vate dwellings, h”"’,l:‘ or property used lous organizations. The Senate accepted this, but the House had declded to ask another conference with the Senate on the section relating to the condemnation of lands. o Bemw{u?h?lmot d‘lg:mh lins also iven notice of his pproval of the liminal from the el tion deficies bill of the $24,000,000 for fion poic) e i throhlbn‘l‘m forcement in ot - funct first des ne in bill, and some in- terpreted his language as meaning that he might use filibustering tactics. Hale Makes Concession. Before the agreement to limit debate on the naval appropriation bill was reached, Senator Hale of Maine, a spon- sor of the cruiser construction program, made a concession to the - opposition when he said he would amend the bill to provide only $200,000 for work on the cruisers during this fiscal year.

NEW YORK, February 22.—After a belated visit of Winter, the Eastern por- tion of the country today was flounder- ing out of the worst snowstorm of the season. The storm, sweeping in on a north- east wind, spread a thick covering of snow from Malne to the Carolinas and westward to the Mississippi Valley. Severely low temperatures were record- ed in many sections. The deaths of 12 persons, injury to several others, and numerous minor ac- cidents were attributed to the snow and cold. Shipping was hampered and rail- road schedules disrupted. In some sec- tions drifting snow blocked highways, while only strenuous efforts by aug- mented maintenance gangs kept roads open in other portions. 7 Inches in New York, A fali of seven inches brought out the maximum snew fighting force in New York, where officials estimated 22,000 men were clearing the lanes of heaviest traffic with the ald of a huge fleet of plows, scrapers, brushes and cks, ‘The liner Leviathan and other vessels were delayed, being held outside the }:;{bdor undl the curtain cf snow had Rapid transit lines and railroads en- teri the city experienced some delay, but there was no interruption of traffic.
