ROOSEVELT Veto Warning by Glass and President's Letter Promising to Uphold Pay Level Futile. BULLETIN, Administration leaders in the Senate today were considering the advisability of a motion to recom- mit the work relief bill to the Senate Appropriations Committee. By such a maneuver it would be possible to remove the McCarran prevailing wage amendment and limit the appropriation to the sum needed for direct relief. An alter- native was a motion to reconsider the vote by which the McCarran amendment was adopted yester- day, provided the Senators who supported the McCarran amend- ment would make such motion. By the Associated Press. Striving to recoup after a defeat In the Senate, Roosevelt leaders looked hopefully to the House today to block ultimate adoption of the McCarran prevailing wage amendment to the $4,880,000,000 relief bill. Not even a warning by Senator Glass of Virginia that a veto impend- ed, nor a letter from President Roose- velt asserting the bill would be ad- ministered to protect existing wage|. levels could swing the tide against the amendment as the Senate approved it late yesterday by 44 to 43. It was a victory for organized labor. The vote was taken amid intense excitement. At first it appeared there would be a 43 to 43 tie vote, thus defeating the amendment. The eleventh hour arrival of Senator Fraz- fer, Republican of North Dakota, per- mitting Senator Dickinson of Iowa to transfer his pair to Mrs. Caraway of Kansas, gave the ayes the victory. House Chiefs Confident. As the Senate turned to half a dozen other controversial amendme: ‘s, House leaders expressed the belief to- day that the wage provision could bei eliminated, leaving the administration free to pay “security wages” of about | $50 a month on public works. The | McCarran proposal is to pay the rates prevailing in private industry. Speaker By today expressed a “personal belief” the House would re- Ject the prevailing wages amendment. It was evident the leaders felt it could be eliminated in conference be- | tween Senate and House, which al- ready has passed the relief bill in form desired by the administration. Proponents of the amendment ex- pressed doubt, however, that the lead- ers’ optimism was well founded. Other Hurdles Faced. Among the other hurdles the Sen- ate leaders face are the inflation | amendments of Senator Thomas, | Democrat, of Oklahoma, and Wheeler, | Democrat, of Montana; the bonus rider by Senator Bulow, Democrat, of South Dakota; the proposal by Sena- tor Adams, Democrat, of Colorado, to slash $2,000,000,000 from the bill; the amendment of Senator La Follette, Progressive, of Wisconsin, to increase | it to $10,000,000,000; the one-year | limitation to be proposed by Repub- | licans, and the effort of Senator Met- calf, Republican, of Rhode Island, t6 | give preference to veterans in employ- ment of relief officials and admin- istrators. . Not for many a day had the Senate | listened to such stirring words as those that preceded yesterday's vote on the proposal of Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, Glass warned that the wage earners would be first to suffer if the Na- tion’s credit were damaged. “The President is opposed to the amendment,” he said, “because, like many thoughtful citizens, he has be- gun to consider how much further Wwe may go in public expenditures be- fore wrecking the credit of the Na- tion.” | The text of the letter sent to Glass | by the President and read to the (Continued on Page 3, Column 3.

By the Associated Press. | Shoriki, distinguished Tokio publisher, was critically wounded today by | an assassin who charged Shoriki was }noc patriotic because he sponsored | Babe Ruth’s tour of Japan last Fall, causing money to leave the country in | time of depression. Physicians resorted to a blood trans- fusion in an attempt to save Shoriki, |who was stabbed and dangerously wounded. After the transfusion they | said he has a good chance “to re- cover. He is publisher of the Yomiuri | Shimbun, third largest newspaper in Tokio. The assassin, Katsuke Nagasaki, 28, surrendered at a police station shortly | after escaping from the scene of the | attack. Scandals Blamed. | He told police he attempted to take the publisher’s life because Shoriki was unpatriotic and because of his alleged connection with political scandals. Nagasaki has a police record cover- | ing three years for several previous as- saults and acts of violence, allegedly for patriotic motives. He is a member of the obscure nationalist group “Bushin-Kai,” or “Warlike Gods’ So- ciety.” Babe Ruth “Shocked.” Babe Ruth said today in New York that he was shocked to hear of the attempt on the life of the man who sponsored his series of exhibition games in Japan. Ruth returned Wednesday ffom a world tour that began with a series of games between his American All- stars and local teams in that country. “Yes, I knew Mr. Shoriki well and liked him,” the Babe said at his home, “He was a fine host and full of energy and hustle. He wasn’t in the game for money, but because he be- lieved that base ball would be a good thing for Japan.” DR.

NEW YORK, February 22.—Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, noted sci- entist, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Ander- son Christmas were married yesterday in the Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, associates of Dr. Andrews disclosed today. Their wedding was set for today at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sheedy, and their marriage came as a surprise. Friends of Dr. Andrews said his desire for a “quiet” cere- mony was largely responsible for the surprise wedding. .

KANSAS CITY, February 22— Calvin Coolidge, in the opinion of his latest biographer, died a bewildered man—puzzled and distracted by the trend of American life and thinking during the last days of his life. Dr. Claude M. Fuess, head master of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., presented this view of the Republican President on a visit here today. ‘The educator, who is the author of four other biographies, is preparing the work on Coolidge with the aid of Mrs. Coolidge. “Coolidge once remarked to a friend. ‘I do not fit with these times,’” Dr. Fuess said. “From.my study of his life I see how he couldn’t understand the excessive spending, the wild spec- philosophy was that of thrift and in- dividualism.” Dr. Fuess declared Coolidge was in earnest in making his famous “I do not choose to run” announcement. “Contrary to some published reports that he very much wanted to be a candidate for the presidency in 1928, I know, both from talking with him and with his family and friends, that he did not desire to enter the cam- paign. He knew he was ill.” Dr. Fuess related an anecdote which he said was fully authenticated.

By the Associated Press. PAWNEE, Okla., February 22— | Phil Kennamer sat in his cell today, outwardly calm in the face of the penalty he may pay for the slaying of his friend, John F. Gorrell, jr. Convicted of first-degree man- | slaughter, the husky, 19-year-old son of Federal Judge Franklin E. Ken- | pamer must wait until tomorrow afternoon before he learns his sen- | tence—a term which may range from | four years to life in the State peni- tentiary. Defense attorneys, however, said a motion for a new trial would be filed at that time. ‘The verdict was returned last night, 7 hours and 15 minutes after the jury of farmers and small town busi- | ness men had taken the case. Before | that jury he had told of Gorrell's | death Thanksgiving night at Tulsa. He said he shot in self-defense while | seeking to frustrate an alleged ex- | tortion plot against the family of the girl he loved. | Jokes With Prisoners. | Before the jury reported, the dap- iper. black-haired defendant joked and |laughed with his jail mates, several |of whom have served Federal sen- | tences imposed by his father. “How long do your think that damn | Jury will deliberate?” he asked a visitor. Waiting in the courtroom before the verdict was read, Kennamer sat and glared at W. F. (Dixie) Gilmer, an | asistant prosecutor who earlier in the day had shouted “killer, kidnaper, Kennamer—there he is,” pointing to { the defendant. | Kennamer accepted the verdict { without & show of emotion. He leaned | over to pat the shoulder of his father, | who sat slumped in the next chair. “God bless the jury,” commented Gilmer. New Trial Sought. J. Holly Anderson, prosecutor of Tulsa County, from where the trial was brought on a cl e of venue, said he was “stisfied,” and intimated he would demand a long prison term for Kennamer. Miss Virginia Wilcox, pretty 19- year-old oil heiress, the gir]l Kennamer sald he was trying to protect when he shot Gorrell, was not in the court room, although she had attended nearly all the sessions of the trial and had appeared as a defense witness. Sons and daughters of socially prominent Tulsa families were called to. testify both for and against Ken- namer. Mental Status Disputed. Kennamer was described by his at- torneys as both “brilliant and insane.” He testified Gorrell snapped the pistol in face and in the struggle the weapdn was discharged. Young Phil scowled at witnesses who told of his melodramatic dreams, his childish pranks and strange actions. His father sobbed as he told of Phil's “pecullar” adolescence and of suicide threats made by his son. Dr. C. C. Knoblock, toxicologist, testified that at least a minute and a half had elapsed between the time of the two shots fired into Gorrell's head. Jacob Clark, the foreman, said the jury had considered only a man- slaughter verdict, although the State had demanded Kennamer's life in the electric chair. Twelve ballots were required. On the first, three voted for acquittal and nine for conviction. “We had quite a time getting together,” said Clark. Dr. J. F. Gorrell, father of the slain dental student, said: “I'm very happy over the outcome.” ‘Turning to the prosecution staff, he added: “I appreciate what you gentle- men have done.” BETTY GOW LANDS Shuns Crowds on Return to Eng- land on Liner.

LONDON, February 22.— Great Britain today opened negotiations di- rectly with Russia, Germany and Italy to determine the next step to be taken for the general settlement of the is- sues of European security and arma- ment. It was understood that Great Brit- ain and France had come to an agree- ment on what course to pursue in view of the recent motes from Ger- many and Russia. In these notes, Germany said she needed aviation protection in view of Russian power and Russia insisted | that Germany should agree to the proposed Eastern European securities ' pact in its entirety. May Decide Policy. The negotiations with Berlin and Moscow are expected to decide the agenda of talks between those gov- ernments and Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, should he go to those capitals. It was understood in government circles that Great Britain had the hope Germany would sign military guarantees with only her eastern neighboring - countries—this act to | serve as a substitute for the Franco- { Russian scheme for an eastern pact {upon which Russia insists. Mean- while, Germany would be barred from | the proposed air pact until the issues | of security and armaments should be | settled. Odds are regarded as slightly in favor of Germany winning the diplo- { matic contest with Russia because of the apparent determination of Great | Britain to make Adolph Hitler's gov- ernment a full-fledged partner in policing Europe, with full rights of equality. Russia, on the other hand, obviously has irritated the British government by her uninvited note, hinting that | European arrangements should be completed without Germany. Break Would Aid Soviet. Any hitch, however, in the scheme with Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium and into the Eastern and Central European security pacts un- doubtedly would mean a powerful line- | up of powers against the Reich. Rus- sia’s position in such an event would be enhanced. Information from Berlin has con- vinced British officials that Hitler is not only ready to join the air alliance, but is most eager to do so. British official circles cautiously say that, if Germany refused to join, a “new arrangement” would have to be made. French official circles insist an al- liance against Germany is already agreed upon as an alternative. SOVIET VISIONS ATTACK, to bring Germany into the air alliance | CROSSING Ti{E DELAWARE.

Appearing before the Senate Muni« tions Committee to explain why such a sum had been awarded, he said that naval construction was providing less immediate employment than “many other” types of work financed by the $3,300,000,000 P.

Mother Rates A In Modern Ch By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 22.—Father rates about 61 per cent instead of being “all right” with the modern child. Mother stands higher—65.5 per cent. These findings were given to the American Orthopsychiatric Associa- tion today by Dr. H. Meltzer, di- rector of the Psychological Service Center, St. Louis. He said they wes based on studies of the attitudes 150 children of elementary school age. ‘The children were carefully select- ed, he explained, to represent a cross- section of the city. They were asked for all their pleasant and unpleasant reactions, or feelings, about their parents. Pleasant for father, inucluding even “barely pleasant,” totaled 61 per cent. On the same basis mother went 415 points higher. “This, however,” the report stated, “does not indicate a complete come- bove Father ild’s Estimation pleasant reactions add up to only 5.8 per cent for both parents, 4 per cent for mother and 7.6 per cent for father.” A principal difference from the child’s point of view is that father leans to the mental side, mother to the emotional. Reported more or less in the chil- dren’s own words, the typical father is “a person who works and sup- ports “you, does things around the house, takes you out places, plays games with you, helps you with home- work, participates in outdoor activi- ties, gives you money, has such quali- ties and sweetness and kindness, par- ticipates in indoor activities and who trains you to mind.” Mother is “a person who does house- work, does things for you, works and supports you, has such qualities as sweetness and kindness, takes you out places, plays games with you, helps you with homework, buys food and ppear | clothes for you, scolds you when you do wrong and gives you things.” 3
