Associated Press Sports Editor. . CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUIS- , Ky.. May 4—Gallant son of a gallant daddy, William Woodward's Omaha, ‘stretched his long legs com- fortably today on the cold, rain- drenched surface of the historic Downs oval and galloped to a smash- ing victory in the sixty-first Ken- tucky Derby. While a thoroughly soaked but highly excited crowd of nearly 50,000 spectators roared their acclaim, the big, gangling chestnut colt admin- istered a sound beating to 17 rival 3-year-olds, including the crack filly favorite, Nellie Flag, and duplicated the triumph of his famous sire, Gal- lant Fox, the winner of the 1930 Derby, for the New York banker, whose colors Omaha also carried this afternoon. Running with much the same con- fidence his daddy showed five years ago, Omaha steered clear of the early jam, took command on the back stretch and never was seriously men- aced in the long stretch drive desp.te a game finish of the powerful black colt, Roman Soldier, the Texas Derby winner. ‘Whiskolo Runs Third. A length and a half separated Omaha and Roman Soldier at the finish with an outsider, Whiskolo, hanging on to take third money. Whiskolo was four lengths behind Roman Soldier, but a length and a half in front of Nellie Flag, the capricious filly which suffered from early interference and barely took fourth money, by a head, from Black- birder. The rest of the big field was well scattered, with most of the heavily played choices nowhere. Plat Eye, after setting the pace for half a mile, finished eighth. Commonwealth, sup- posed to be at home in the somewhat slippery going, was tenth and Today, C. V. Whitney’s erstwhile favorite, finished _ twelfth after weakening badly in®‘the stretch. Col. E. R. Bradley’s Boxthorn, the hope of the “hard-boots” and rated a strong con- tender, never was in the contention and finished 16th, beating only St. Bernard and Weston. It was a dismal, cheerless day, with & crowd of disappointing proportions shivering in the coldest weather the derby has experienced in a blue moon, but it was a grand victory for Omaha and the colors of the Belair stud. Jockey In First Derby. On the track where the great Earle Sande rode Gallant Fox to triumph five years ago, “Wee Willie” Sauaders of Bozeman, Mont., piloted the Fox's son to victory with all the finesse and resourcefulness of a veteran, instead of a youngster getting the thrill °‘J his first derby conquest. The outcome wrote new derby his- | tory. Omaha is the third son of a derby winner to capture the blue rib- bon prize of old Kentucky, but the span of five years in which ‘he latest father and son victory has been achieved is a new record. Seven years separated the first pair, Halma in 1895 and Alan-a-Dale in 1902. The tri- umph of two of the Bradley stars, Bubbling Over and Burgoo King, were six years apart, 1926 and 1932. Winner Pays $10 For $2. Second choice in the betting at 4 to 1, Omaha paid 810 to win for each $2 ticket in the mutuels, as well as $5 to place and $3.80 to show. The (Continued on Page 3, Column 1.)

By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, May 4.—Russia’s full military strength in the air was offi- cially revealed for the first time to- day. The Soviet now has more than 3,000 military planes, it was an- nounced, with more than 800 con- centrated in the Far East. Participating in May day maneuvers were the formidable Far Eastern con- centration, 800 bombers, fighting planes and pursuit ships which roared back and forth across Red Square in Moscow, 350 ships at Leningrad, 350 at Minsk, near the Polish border; 300 at Kiev, 170 at Kharkov and 100 at Rostov-on-Don, in the North Cau- casion area. Thousands of Tanks. The May day demonstrations re- vealed further that the Soviet's oft- vaunted strength in tanks was no empty boast. ‘Thousands paraded at key Russian cities, 500 at Moscow, hundreds in the Far East and 2,030 at eight other key Russian cities. In 1921 Gen. Vasily Blucher, chief of the Far Eastern army, said Russia had only three tanks and four air- planes in the Far East. Warnings of the peril of war ap- peared side by side in the Moscow press with praise of the Franco-Soviet pact, with Za Industrializatziu, the government's organ for heavy indus- try, pointing specifically to the Far East as one danger spot. Protocol Cited. Especial reference was made to article 1.of the protocol of signature, which stipulates that if the League Council fails to reach decision in case of aggression the parties to the pact will carry out of their own accord its mutual assistance provisions. Pravda, organ of the Communist party, declared Poland and Germany would be welcomed into the Franco- Soviet pact if they wished to enter and the press as a whole expressed the hope that the Baltic nations— Finland, Latvia and Estonia—would come in.

DANUBIAN CONFERENCE GROUNDWORK PREPARED Participation of Budapest in Any General Pact Rests Upon Arms Parity Grant. By the Assoclated Press. VENICE, Italy, May 4.—Hungary's delegates to the tri-power conference said tonight their country proposed to sign mutual assistance pacts with Italy and Austria, but refused to sign them with the Little Entente powers. That flat assertion came after the Hungarian delegates spent three and one-half hours conferring with repre- sentatives of Italy and Austria in an effort to lay the groundwork for the nine-power Danubian conference at Rome in June. Hungarians Give Reasons. Mutual assistance pacts with Italy and Austria would strengthen the Rome consultative accord among the three powers, the Hungarians said. They cited two reasons for their re- fusal regarding the Little Entente: 1. Such pacts would recognize Hun- gary's present boundaries as defined in the post-war treaties—something she will never do. 2. The pacts would present an armed front to Germany—something Hungary does not relish. In regard to the proposed pact of ommendation of the House cr!mel non-interference to be taken up at Committee, the Federation of Citi- | Rome, the delegates from Budapest zens’ Amflmh%{.x:‘ mfi ; tered opposition ent of officials of the Police Department from outside the ranks of the depart- ment. 4 The House Committee proposed that a new chief of police be selected from outside the department. The federation, after a two-hour debate, adopted a resolution offered by Joseph L. Gammell, chairman of its Police and Fire Committee, stating that no one outside the ranks of the Police and Fire Departments shall be ap- pointed to a place above the rank of private in either the Police or Fire Departments. The federation, however, shied away from the question of whether there should be a clean sweep of the high command of the Police Department, as proposed by the House Crime Com- mittee in its recommendation for res tirement of all officers above the rank of captain who have reached the age of 60. This p! 1 of the House group would hit Maj. Ernest W. Brown, po- lice superintendent; Inspector Thad- deus R. Bean, assistant superintendent and Inspector Albert J. Headley, who was to have been the beneficiary of the so-called “gentleman’s agreement” be- tween Representative Blanton of Texas and Maj. Brown for Headley's promotion after the retirement of Bean. Indorsement Asked. Debate on the whole question was started when Harry S. Wender of the Southwest Citizens’ Association proposed a resolution indorsing the service of Maj. Brown. He asked for unanimous consent but several members cried out objec- tions. Wender then moved for sus- pension of rules, which requires a three-fourths vote, and there was a division, 19 to 19, numerous mem- bers refusing to vote. Thomas E. Lodge, chairman of the Laws and Legislation Committee, said he would vote “yes” on the Brown indorsement, but argued the federation should not act on that problem. George E. Sulli- van and David Babp objected to con- sideration of the resolution. Later in the session Gammell brought up his resolution and the de- bate started all over again. President James G. Yaden said the federation had refused to consider the matter and that it could not be brought up indirection in the Gammell reso- lution, Sullivan made the technical point that Gammell's resolution was not in writing and had not been signed. Yaden finally agreed to con- sider the question of promotion within the ranks of the Police Depart- ment, but refused to consider another CHALIAPIN BETTER Singer Not Yet Out of Danger, His Physician Warns.

MEXICO, D. F., May 4 (#.—Dis- couraged by continued bad weather, Amelia Earhart rolled her red mono- plane back into the hangar today and abandoned plans for an immediate take-off on her proposed non-stop flight to New York. She said she would hop off without further notice whenever conditions were right. in Senate collateral and accept in lieu thereof that nation’s “general obligations” for a certain portion of the dept. He said there may have been such authority, but whatever he found he would disclose in his forthcoming address. Shipstead asserted the foreign debtors were bound by the settlement expressed willingness to sign such an agreement with Austria alone. Before Hungary signs any general pact, however, they said, she wants certain assurances, such as recogni- tion of her theoretical right to arms parity. Italy Minimizes Meeting. ‘The Italian government, apparently in the bellef that too much emphasis upon the Venice meeting might rub the Little Entente the wrong '% made every effort to-play dowh import, telling Italian correspondents not to come here. The few papers that gave the conference much front page display were censored. Hungary held the leading role as the conference opened with the other powers, particularly Italy, sitting back and trying to get Hungary to mitigate her claims so the Danubian confer- ence might be a success. For Italy the main point of the Danubian conference is to guarantee further Austrian independence through a general non-interference pact and bilateral mutual assistance treaties. She does not want this main point compromised through an argument stirred up by Hungary’s insistence on rearmament and revision of treaties. Thus Hungary’s suggestion she would accept theoretical parity was received with relief. Entente Meets Soon. Statesmen of all three delegations realized that exactly 10 days from now the Little Entente states— Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugo- slavia—meet in Bucharest under the leadership of Foreign Minister Titu- lescu of Rumania, who has declared his :ppumon to Hungarian rearma- ment. They know that Little Entente ac- tion will depend upon what action is taken in Venice. Hence they realize it is better to go slow rather than impair the possible success of the more important meeting in Rome. There was a fair show of police force along the Grand Canal as the afternoon conversations began.

By the Associated Press. Seventy-five left wingers from & dozen States agreed yesterday in secret conference the time was ripe for the organization of e national liberal third party to drive e wedge between the Democrats and Republi- cans in 1936. While the group, including rep- resentatives of various shades of progressive political thought, did not reach the point of attempting to ef- fect a new organization, it tentatively planned for anoher meeting in Chi- cago in June with the view of ob- taining more definite action. Both the Democratic and Republi- can parties were assailed by a num- ber of speakers, all of whom claimed there was “no hope for the common man” in either. They agreed that “all we ever got from the old parties was promises.” At the meeting, presided over by Representative George Schneider, Progressive of Wisconsin, who was one of the promoters of the parley, were Socialists, Technocrats, Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and Farmer- Laborites, with a few union labor leaders.

RELIEF SNARLED BY LEGAL ISSUES Officials Tackle Problems Over Week End to Has- ten Program. By the Assoclated Press. Lawyers in half a dozen Govern- ment divisions sought yesterday to untangle legal knots said to be de- laying President Roosevelt’s $4,000,- 000,000 works program. As the Chief Executive himself mingled work with pleasure in a week end cruise down the Potomac, dozens of complications were disclosed to policies and plans to pursue the course chartered by the works bill. ‘To cut a path through these com- plications and hold the slowly moving works machine to a legal course once it gains full momentum, a corps of legal experts have been called into service, Problems Are Varied. Some of the problems at which they were sald to be working .in- cluded: Determination of & method by which the rural electrification division can keep its work from being re- stricted to those dozen States which have set up rural electrification au- thorities. Pixing definite policies to be fol- lowed by the rural resettlement division in buying lands and moving persons from farms that are not fertile to others that will produce. Drafting executive orders which will clothe the applications, allotment, progress, rural electrification and grade crossing elimination divisions with proper authority to carry out their duties. Definite figures to show the amount to which each State would be en- titled under complicated formulae laid down for distribution of funds for highway and grad crossing elimina- tion work. Pending development of these ques- tions and a wide variety of policies still to be laid down, most officials shut themselves into their offices to work. Morris L. Cooke, head of the rural electrification division, paused long enough yesterday to outline a few of the objectives of his section. Would Avoid Competition. They called for: Building 100,000 miles of power lines to give electricity to from 750,000 to 1,000,000 farm homes; giving an outlet for the power generated at Federal plants in the Tennessee Valley, at Boulder Dam, Grand Coulee, Bonneville, Fort Peck and elsewhere; making the projects pay for themselves in 20 years and keeping them out of private competi- tion so far as possible. Among policies under consideration by President Roosevelt and his works triumvirate of Secretary Ickes, Frank C. Walker and Harry L. Hopkins, were the problems of how hard and fast & rule could be laid down to govern loans and grants on non-Federal proj- ects, what the terms should be for the loans and how far the Govera- ment might go in prescribing a sys- tem that would bring back most of the money. Hopkins and his aides also studied the question of fixing wages for dif- ferent sections of the country. The | principle that has been laid down is that a security wage would be paid— enough to give the worker the neces- sities of life. Since living costs vary in different sections, officials predicted that the wage would vary from the $50 a month figure first mentioned. By the Associated Press.

A MEASURES CLAIM SENATE ATTENTION Vinson Proposal Is Expected to Triumph Over Harri- son Compromise. LEADERS ARE HOPEFUL FOR VOTE BY WEDNESDAY Economic Security May Be Next of Major Administration Bills to Be Considered. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The Senate begins its weekly inning tomorrow with the soldiers’ bonus at the bat and N. R. A. on deck. The economic security bill may be the next of the major Administration measures to reach the Upper House for consideration. The Senate Finance Committee, which has already held hearings on the measure, has been called to meet at 10 o'clock tomor- row morning to consider it in execu= tive session. Senate leaders hope to conclude consideration and action on the bonus bill by Tuesday or Wednesday. The Clark joint resolution to extend the N. R. A, until April, 1936, will follow. Fairly rapid progress with the bonus bill was made in the Senate, follow- ing the laying aside of the Wagner- Costigan anti-lynching bill last week. A vote on the Vinson bill, amended to appropriate $2,263,000,000 to pay off the veterans immediately, offered as a substitute for the Harrison compromise bonus bill is expected tomorrow. Victory for Legion Seen. It is generally belleved that the Vinson bill, backed by the American Legion, will prevail over the Harrison | measure, although the latter was re- ported favorably by the Finance Com- mittee as a substitute for the Patman “greenback” bonus bill, the House measure. Then will come the tug of war between the Vinson and Patman bills. Again, it is expected, the Vinson bill will win. Only could the Patman | bill prevail if enough of the Admin- istration Senators swing to the green- back measure. They would do so, if at all, merely in the belief that a | presidential veto of this inflationary measure could more easily be sus- tained than a veto of the Vinson bill. In the jockeying over the bonus, this proposal to put the Patman bill through is being seriously considered. Since the House has already passed the Patman bill, if the Senate accepts it, the measure could be hurried to the White House without going through the conference stage and the President given opportunity to exer- cise his veto power without delay. House May Yield. If on the other hand the Senate finally passes the Vinson bill it will go to conference with the House. So close was the vote in the House as between the Vinson and Patman measures that it is believed the House would yield and permit final agree- ment on the Vinson bill, particularly if the vote by which the Senate pre- fers the Vinson bill to the Patman is substantial. The inflationists in the Senate are prepared to make a last stand for the Patman bill, but their speeches will not, it is said, consume a great deal of time. How many votes will be cast against the final passage of the bonus bill in the Senate, whether it be the Vin- son or the Patman bill, is agitating the leaders. Not more than 20 to 25 Senators will vote “no” on the roll call, it was predicted by one of the leaders, if the Vinson bill is the choice of a majority. This same leader expressed the opinion that if the Vinson bill is vetoed, there may be a chance of its being passed despite the disapproval of the President, with the necessary two-thirds vote of the Senate and House. This is flatly de- nied, however, by Senator Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the Finance Committee. The Patman bill, it is urged, would have no real chance of passing over a veto. Threaten New Taxes. President Roosevelt has threatened to demand the passage of new and additional tax legislation if a bonus bill is passed—except the compromise bill sponsored by Harrison. The Supreme Court has stolen the center of the stage so far as the N. R. A. is concerned. It has concluded the hearing of arguments in the Scheche ter case, involving the constit ity of the N. R. A. law and its opinion in the case is expected to be handed down before the court takes its Summer recess the first week in June. If the court holds the law unconstitutional, the administration and Congress will be faced with the need of evolving a new law to meet the court’s objections, or the whole N. R. A. system will go into the discard. Nevertheless, the Senate plans to go ahead now with the joint resolution to extend the life of the N. R. A. until next April, with bans against price fixing under the codes of fair competition and against having the codes apply to business that 'is strictly intra-state. The House will wait upon Senate, and final action on any legislation is not expected until after the decision of the Su- preme Court in the Schechter case has (Continued on Page 4, Column 5.)
