Adjournment of Congress zome time during the first week in July is now the best guess of leaders in both House and Senate, although efforts are still being bent toward adjourning next Sat- urday night if a way can be found. World War veterans’ pension legis- Jation is the principal stumbling block in the House, with friends of the for- mer service .men . co-operating with American Legion leaders in announced determination ta block any efforts to adjourn until a satisfactory bill ed—over the President’s sary. They declafe their intention to delay the ug‘oummem sufficiently long to corhpel the President to send his threatened veto back, so that a vote can be taken to override his anticipated veto. In the meantime, the President has been calling Senate and House leaders into conferences at the White House " g the legislative program,” but principally regarding the World War veterans’ blll. Two Important Measures. ‘The House plans to act on the $142.- * 000,000 rivers and harbors omnibus bill today and to consider the bill to increase veterans’ relief Tuesday provided the Benate completes action today. Chairman Dempsey of the House rivers and harbors committee expects to ask concurrence in the Senate amendments to the omnibus bill, in- creasing the House measure by ap- proximately $24,500,000. The measure carries authority for improvement of ‘waterways and harbors in practically every section of the country and is the first’ to approach enactment in three ears. ” Despite the possibility of a deficit in ~ the National Treasury, President Hoover = 18 believed by the measure’s proponents to be favorable to it in view of the benefits to be derived from economical waterway transportation and the ad- vance it would make toward alleviating - unemployment. : Efforts are to be made to obtain * favorable action on two bills designed “to aid in the prevention of unemploy- * ment, previously Senate. ‘The Vestal bill to revise the copy- : right laws and to permit this Govern- I ment to join the International y- right Union, which has been. pending in Congress for many years, is sched- uled for disposition.

An effort is to be made to bring up the Hudson bill to create a unified bor- der patrol of the customs and immigra- tion service patrols, but opposition from certain Great Lakes interests may pre- vent action at this session.

Their whereabouts were un- known for several days until they were discovered aboard a small power cruiser on a trip up the New England Coast. When Col. Lindbergh resumed flying Mrs. Lindbergh accompanied him. In the last year they have flown about 30,000 miles together. Their trips have taken them to the Pacific Coast and back several times; on a 7,000-mile flight to open a pan-American pas- senger and mail route and on a flight of exploration over Central America in search of Mayan ruins. Mrs. Lindbergh studied flying under her husband’s tutelage and proved an apt pupil. On August 23 of last year she made her first solo flight and soon after received a pilot’s license.

Bishop James Cannon, jr., in a state- ment yesterday, charged that Repre- sentative Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts had not said in his signed | statement some of the things the Bay State member stated in the House un- der congressional immunity relative to the churchman’s handling of funds con- tributed for the anti-Smith campaign. Tinkham recently issued a statement over his signature after the Methodist leader had challenged him to repeat statements he made on the House floor in connection with the bishop's testi- mony_before the Senate lobby commit- tee. In his statement yesterday, Bisho) Cannon sald the acceptance of hi challenge was carefully worded and that it omitted several accusations made in the House. Challenged in Detail. Bishop Cannon challenged Tinkham to “have several copies of his entire speech typewritten, signing them per- sonally. then sending one to me and one to each of several other indicated persons, thus effectually disclaiming immunity for his entire speech as actually delivered.” The text of Bishop Cannon's state- ment read: “I have read the carefully worded statement of 135 words, purporting to be a paraphrase of the 3,000-word speech of Congressman Tinkham, made in the House of Representatives on June 17, which speech I called upon him to give out over his personal signa- ture, free from congressional immunity. “In his speech of June 17, among other things, Congressman Tinkham said: ‘The statement of Bishop Can- non that he “made no report of such receipts and expenditures, as none was required by law,” was a falsehood, and obviously made with the intent of not accounting for the $48,300 alleged in his telegram of February 12, 1929, to E. C. Jameson, to have been spent in the State of Virginia.' Again, Con- gressman Tinkham in his speech asked, ‘Whether or not any of the money re- ceived from E. C. Jameson was used by him on account of any personal in- debtedness?’ Again, Congressman Tink- ham in his speech said, ‘He (Bishop Cannon) will stand convicted in the eyes of all honest men of having ap- propriated that money to his own uses.’ Omissions Are Charged. “The above statements, and many other similar statements contained in the speech of June 17, not only do not appear, but are not referred to in the 135-word purported paraphrase of his speech. As the greater part of the speech has already appeared in the newspapers as congressional privileged matter, and as some papers might not desire to republish it over his personal signature, if Congressman Tinkham de- sires to be held responsible for exactly what he said on the floor of the House let him have several coples of his en- tire speech typewritten, signing them personally, then sending one to me and one to each of several other indicated persons, thus effectually disclaiming im- munity for his entire speech as actually delivered.” LEADERS T0 TALK OVER POLICE BILL Compromise Between Senate and House Seen on Salary Increase. The so-called “managers” on the part of the Senate and House are to go into conference at 3 o'clock this after- noon on the police and firemen'’s salary increase bill, with an understanding in advance that the conference will promptly approve a compromise worked out informally which is agreeable to all parties involved. Under this informal agreement all of the so-called Donovan-Simmons amend- ments are to be approved by the Sen- ate with the single exception that, in computing pensions for retired mem- bers of the Police and Fire Depart- ments, the question of applying new pay scales is to be in the discretion of the District Commissioners and based on the degree of disability. As finally agreed upon, the so-called premium or bonus of $5 a month to each member of the Police and PFire De- partment who by performance of his duties is able to win a place on an ef- ficiency list comprising 10 per cent of each department will receive additional compensation of $5 per month. JOSEPH C. BURGER DIES AT RESIDENCE Native of Germany Lived in Wash- ington for Sixty-Five Years. JOSEPH C. BURGER. Joseph C.

By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, June 23.—President Ortiz Bubio today issued a formal order forbidding military aviators from en- | gaging in long-distance flights. The President said he had decided that no more Mexican flyers will be permitted to risk their lives in perilous flights having no specific purpose. The order included Col. Roberto Plerro, who was forbidden to continue his flight to South America, Africa and Europe. President Ortiz Rublo said that he had contemplated cancellation of Col. Fierro's flight before its start from New York, but that inasmuch as all ar- rangements had been completed, he decided to allow the venturesome flyer to complete the first stage of his sen- sational air voyage. The President said, however, that he had come to the conclusion it was unnecessary for Col. Fierro to continue his trip, since he merely would be re- peating what already had been done by aviators of other nations. The Mexican Chief Executive said that henceforth the ability and courage of the republic's pilots will be used in more practical manner. He said that the Gulf and Pacific Coast Lines should be watched with more vigilance to prevent smuggling and illicit fishing. He also stated that the fiyers would be used to better purpose in surveying and assisting scientific expeditions. Mexico benefited more from the ability and courage of live fiyers, the President averred, than from the post- humous honors showered upon those who perished while engaged in haz- ardous undertakings. Their lives, he said, are much too precious to lose, even if Mexico must forego basking in the glory of their exploits. HOOVER 0.
