ORE than 650 Western school “marms” with a will to learn | have sent Omnibus College | rolling right over hard times| this season on the annual cir- cult of its huge campus. It took more than salary cuts or de- | pression scrip to halt the college on | wheels from Wichita, Kans., which is| under canvas at the Tourist Camp for | several days in Washington. 1In all, 700 young men and women are ' enrolled under the leadership of 16| instructors and chaperons, most of | whom are full-fledged professors. ‘This represents an increase of at least 100 pupils over last year's enroll- ment. The traveling college originated in 1922 when Dr. William M. Goldsmith | brought the young men of his biology class on an Eastern tour. The following year Dr. Goldsmith’s wife, Mrs. Amy H. Goldsmith, head of | the home economics department at a| Midwestern university, suggested that she bring her girls along. | Since then the college has grown | each Summer. The students now are ;;fuhrly enrolled in the University of chita Summer school, paying $17¢ each for their tuition, transportation. meals, camp accommodations and sight-seeing _privileges on a 5,000-mile | tour of the East and Canada. Seven Weeks on Tour. ‘The tour requires seven weeks. The| college came here via Ozark, Mo.; Mem- | {{his‘ Chattanooga, Marion and New arket. Va. After four days in Wash- ington the students will proceed to | Neptune. N. J.; New York City, Plym- outh, N. H.; Salem, Mass,, and thence through Maine to Canada and Quebec. ‘The party will return through Niag- ara ls and Detroit before proceed- ing to Chicago for several days at the Century of Progress Exposition. En route, regular classes are held in sociology, history, geography, biol and journalism, and examinations wi be given in Detroit and Chicago, Dr. Goldsmith said. The students are encouraged to ob- the way, as well as the agriculture industry of various sections. They take advantage of the educational facilities of museums, art galleries and other institutions in the larger cities, such as Washington, New York, Det: roit and Chicago. e in Washington the students go in their busses on numerous sight- seeing trips and hold daily classes at the National Museum. The students | divide their time about equally be- tween education and amusement. Four Autocade Units. The college travels in four auto- cade units, 'xs'gnced 24 hours apart on the road. us one unit sets up its camp, and the camp remains to shel- ter the succeeding units until it is struck and moved on ahead. This sys- tem requires a fifth set of tents and a fifth rolling kitchen, but saves much time and trouble. Only in larger citles like Washington does the whole college assemble on one camping ground. Dr. Goldsmith sald that through these and other econo- mies the college will stay within a budget of $105,000 this year. At least $25,000 of this amount is in teachers’ warrants accepted as tuition. The predominance of women is due to the depression, Dr. Goldsmith said. Young men remain at home as long as there is a chance of making money during the Summer, while the young women teachers take the trip rather than be an added burden to the folks at_home. The students are enrolled from every State west of the Mississippi. Many of them come from as far away as California, and at least 100 teachers came on to Wichita to join the ty from their homes in Salt Lake City. About 25 passenger busses, five bag- gage truck and five rolling kitchens transport the Omnibus College.

By the Associated Press NOME, Alaska, June 16.—Sparsely settled northlands of the Bering Bea today held the fate of Jimmie Mattern, round-the-world fiyer, unreported since leaving the Siberian Coast two days ago.

A landing at an isolated settlement or in the wilderness might not be re- ported for days. The snow is gone from much of Bouthern and Central Alaska at this season of the year, and the ice is out of the rivers. The main danger which faced Mat- tern was the formation of ice on his wings if he flew through cloud banks or fog. With the temperature near freez- ing, his plane would have been forced down quickly. He left Khabarovsk at 2:30 pm. (E. 8. T.) Wednesday after having been forced back after eight hours in the air two days previously.

Efforts of the new administration to “balance the budget” resulted in legis- lation of far-reaching effect on thou- sands of Government employes here and throughout the country during the special session of the new OCongress Just ended. First, came the new economy sct imposing & pay cut of 625 per cent on Federal and District workers in addi- tion to the 8!; per cent reduction al- ready being applied through the com- pulsory furlough without pay, making the present cut 15 per cent. The new law takes the place of the payless fur- lough and provides for s straight pay cut not to exceed 15 per cent, the amount of the cut to be regulated from time to time by the President, based on the cost of living as ascertained from & study of index prices. The Presi- dent was authorized to investigate liv- ing costs during the six months ended June 30, 1928, a similar study of the six months ended last December, and of each six months thereafter. e i & e o Teadpibuios furlough, 15 d?ypl“ of annual l;”o‘h‘gg stored to the Government workers. Effective During August. Acting under an amendment to the reorganisation powers contained in the new economy law the President sub- mitted to Congress last Saturday & re- organization order, abolishing certain agencies with their functions transferred and co-ordinated with other agencies. This order takes effect automatically 61 days from its submission to Con- g‘, or sbout the middle of August. the closing hours of the session yesterday the Senate passed a joint resolution seeking to postpone until 60 days after Congress returns in Janu- ary the operation of three features of the order, namely: The proposal to abolish the Public Buildings Commission as s separate agency and transfer its functions to the Interior Department. The proposal to reduce by 25 per cent the activities of agrieultural ex- tension work, experimental stations, ag- ricultural and mechanical endowment colleges and vocational education. The proposal to transfer national cemeteries from the War Department to_the Interior Department. ‘While this does not have binding ef- fect because the House falled to act &O‘muy on it, it was indicated during e Senate debate yesterday that the President, o};robobly ‘would ere to 'r',h: purpose the resolution, at least in regard to the proposed 25 per cent in various V:M?ennve and agricultural vities in section 18 of the executive order. The other two items in the resolution, relating to the Public Buildings Commission and national cemeteries, were inserted at the last minute on the floor and no information wusdl.vnulble as to the President’s at- ude. At Liberty to Modify Order. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Demo- cratic leader, told the Senate it was his understanding that “the President has 80 written his executive order that he is at liberty at any time he chooses to modity it.” In ur the Public dings Commission be post- poned, Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas, chairman, pointed out it has only one employe and that some of its mem- bers feel it is more in the nature of a legislative uen? than a part of the { executive branch. It is composed of members of the House and Senate and the architect of the Capitol. ‘The reorganization ler provides for separation from the service of emp]ozu in the abolished or merged agencies, but with a proviso that the agency taking over a function may re-employ these workers, with the approval of the ex- ecutive within four months without re- examination or loss of Civil Service status. Two new economy rules are about to become law in the independent offices appropriation bill, on which final action was taken early this morning, sending the bill to the President. One is the new administrative furlough provision, in which the essential change from the | old furlough clause is that furloughs | made necessary by the economy pro- | sram must be applied in rotation to all the officers and employes of an office | in order to distribute as far as prac- ticable the available work. This pro- vision is to apply until July 1, 1934, “in cases in which the number of offi- cers and employes in any particular service is in excess of the number | necessary for the requirements of such | service.” The new furlough clause re- | tains the proviso in the old law that whenever a furlough is to extend more than 90 days, the department head must ¢omply with all the requirements | of the civil service law as in the case of a dismissal. Retirement Benefits Provided. ‘ The other new feature in the inde- pendent offices bill, is the granting of retirement annuities to Government workers with 30 or more years of serv- ice if they are “involuntarily separated” from the service during the mnext two years through reductions in force. | Under existing law employes have to reach certain age limits to go on the retired list. Employes who are facing dismissal are now given retirement benefits if they have 30 years of serv- ice, even though they have not reached | the retirement age. ‘They must, however, continue to pay the 31, per cent contribution into the retirement fund until reaching that age. ‘The Senate tried to broaden this section to allow voluntary retirement on this basis, but in conference it was confined to those being let out. | Government employes from the Dis- | trict of Columbia, Maryland and Vir- ginia were threatened during this ses- sion by the adoption of a rule which would have exposed them to an added danger of dismissal by requiring adher- ence to the State quota provision in the civil service l]aw. The Senate modi- | fied the original House provision on this | subject in the independent offices bill to require efficiency as well as State quotas to be considered in making dis- missals In conference all reference to the cdubject of State quotas was elim- inated. Civil Service Probe Authorized. The House adopted a resolution fa- thered by Representative Hastings, Dem- ocrat, of Oklahoma, a member of the subcommittee drafting the independent offices bill, which ordered an investiga- tion of the Civil Service Commission to determine if there had been favoritism in civil service appointments, how far the covering in of large groups of em- ployes under an executive order had hampered the observance of the State quota provision and what legislation is needed to make it possible for the Civil Service Commission to properly admin- ister the law. A subcommittee headed by Chairman Jeffers of the Oivil Serv- ice Commission is to make a study dur- ing the recess of Congress. The other members of the commission are Repre- sentatives Ramspeck, Georgla, and Dingell, Michigan, Democrats, and Gib- son, Vermont, and Mrs. Rogers, Massa- chusetts, Republicans. ‘The Senate passed a bill which would have required presidential appointment and Senate confirmation of all appoint- ments in the executive branch of the Government where the salary is more STAR, WASHINGTON, D C.

HARVARD'S CREW NOSES 0UT YALE Brawny “Jayvee” Boatload Comes From Behind for Even Break. By the Assoclated Press. NEW_ LONDCN, Conn., June 16.— Harvard's big, brawny junior varsity crew came from behind with a smash- ing finish on the windswept Thames River this morning to whip Yale by & slim margin and give the Crimson & hard-earned even break in the first two races of the seventy-first regatta between these ancient college rivals. The “Jayvees” in a closing drive that overcame adverse conditions as well as | El rivals, furnished a scattered shiver- ing crowd with a sample of the heavy- weight power Harvard hoped to apply this evening in the four-mile varsity race in an attempt to make it three straight years of conquest over the big_blue boatload. Harvard's triumph was by the slim margin of a scant quarter length, or | o‘:fl three-fifths of a second, in the | Junior varsity struggle The Crimson's time was 11 minutes 4975 seconds for the two miles. ‘Yale was clocked in 11:4945. Yale’s freshmen registered a hollow victory by fully five lengths in the first race, “paddling” over the last mile with an overwhelming lead gained when the Harvard yearlings caught a series of “crabs” in the rough water and went to pieces temporarily. It was no con- test by the time the Crimson cubs pulled themselves together and got going in unison again. The EH freshmen, finishing their season undefeated, negotiated the two miles in 12:0625, while Harvard was timed in 12:262. Both races were rowed over the upper two miles of the varsity course. EXTORTION LETTERS BRING 15-YEAR TERM U. S. Judge, Denying Charge of “Railroading,” Admits It's “a Long, Slow Train.” By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, June 16.—Odell C. Boyles was sentenced to 15 years in prison yes- terday after his conviction in Federal | Gourt of attempting to extort $20,000 oseph F. Cannon, wealthy Con- . N0, textlle manufacturer. Boyles was indicted on three counts of sending extortion letters through the mails to Cannon, demanding payment of money under a threat of kidnaping the manufacturer'’s son, Joe Cannon, jr., and his granddaughfer, Anne Can- non Reynolds, 2d. He was found guilty of all three counts. Before passing sentence, Judge Alex- ander Ackerman of Tampa, Fla., asked Boyles if he had anything to say. Boyles replied he understood Judge Ackerman had been “imported” here to try his case because of his reputation for pass- ing long sentences, and that he resented being “railroaded to prison.” The jurist assured Boyles he had not been imported especially to try his case, but was here to assist with many cases. Referring to Boyles' inference that he was being “railroaded,” the judge said “Before you get back you will think it is a long, slow train.” Boyles pleaded his own case. He sald he was the victim of a “frame-up.” He told the jury he signed a confession introduced by the Government only after he had been led to believe his wife, Sue Zachary Boyles, who was arrested also, would be freed. He denied writing the letters received by Cannon and sald his wife knew nothing about them. than $5,000 a year. This would have cut in-en the civil service system, but the House failed to act upon it.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 16.—Spokesmen for the million union workers on America’s 201 class 1 rallroads declared today they would ignore the demands of their employers for a 221, per cent reduction in wages to replace a 10 per cent tempo- rary “deduction” in effect at present until November 1. Bentiments of the employes were expressed at a conference of the Rail- way Labor Executives’ Association, comprising 21 unions. Many of the union leaders said the rallroads were not serious in the wage- cut demand. The railroads, however, in demand- ing the reduction yesterday, declared themselves united 100 per cent in the demand, and would make no conces- sions. Alexander F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and chairman of the Labor Executives' Association, declared the unions woul not the demands in any way, not even so far as to attend the wage conference requested by the roads for July 12. Declares Contract Ended. “The present 10 per cent deduction, to which it 1& x‘xg: e(isuxgefted :nl::i-_- r cent cut , expires, af - 5&1‘1&. October 31,” he said. “At that time wages go back to a 100 per cent basis under existing agreements, which do not call for any conference on the matter.” Whitney said only & few unions had received notification of the desired cut. He indicated that if any formal con- sideration would be given to the de- mand, it would not be until all the unjons had been notified. “Reduction of wages now would do more to hinder recovery than any other thing,” he sald. “Any industrial or political leader will tell you t! ever, I belleve that most of the rail- roads will refuse to break away from President Roosevelt's program of main- taining wages.” Plan Industrial Co-operation. Having decided no official action would be taken on the wage matter, the union leaders turned their attention to labor’s part in co-operating with Joseph B. Eastman, co-ordinator of the new emergency railway act. A leader in the discussion was Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the association and recently appointed assistant administrator of industrial control. Whitney said he understood one part of the railway bill provides that labor should not be disturbed. He said that might be taken to mean pay, number | and classification of employes could not | be_changed. | Whitney did not elaborate on his | statement that wages automatically re- | verted to the 100 per cent basic scale on November 1. The agreement providing for the 10 r cent reduction expires at that time, | but the rallroads have maintained the contract provides they might serve notice of a further r<¢.ction any time after June 15, which action they took yesterday.
