NEW BONUS BILL NONANFLATINARY Senate Measure for Next Session Offered by Byrnes and Steiwer. Shortly after Democratic leaders of the Senate had decided yesterday to make the soldier bonus question a spe- cial order of business at the next session in January, a new non-infla- tionary cash payment plan was put forward for consideration at that time. It was introduced by Senators Byrnes, Democrat of South Carolina, and Steiwer, Republican of Oregon. Byrnes and Steiwer said they would not ask for action on their proposal until January. The Democratic Sen- ator, who has opposed the administra- tion on bonus legislation throughout the session, forecast that a quick vote would be reached then. Republicans May Join. Steiwer's participation in the in- troduction of the new proposal was taken by some as an indication that Republicans would join in the Demo- cratic move to let the bonus go over and speed adjournment. Under the Byrnes-Steiwer proposal veterans would get at least 96 per cent of the full cash value of their cer- tificates if the bill were passed today, or at least 97 per cent if it should be passed in January The maturity date of the certificates would be advanced from 1945 to 1938 on the theory that they should have been dated from the Armistice instead of 1925. Veterans holding their cer- tificates until November 11, would get the full face value. There would be a small discount for advance payment ahead of that time. Payment Provision. Instead of financing the $2,000,000,- 000 cost through a new currency issue, es in the Patman bill passed by Con- | gress and vetoed by President Rocse- velt this session, the Byrnes-Steiwer proposal would pay the certificates out of the Treasury through orthodox financing metho The President would be author! ments, it he desired The Democratic decision yesterday. and the joint introduction of the new pian by Steiwer and Byrnes was be- lieved by veteran Senators to sound the ceath knell of any possibility of Lonus action at this session The Democrats agreed that they would vote to table any bonus pro- posal offered as a rider to another bill tween now and adjournment. H. W. VICKERS, JR., ATTEMPTS SUICID Former Maryland Conservation Head Found in Hotel—Ex- pected to Live. By the Assoc: ress WILMINGTON, Del., August 7.—An attending physician looks for the re- covery of Harrison W. Vickers, jr., of Chestertown, Md., who, police say. glashed his throat and wrist while a guest in a local hotel. Dr. Victor D. Long says he believes Vickers bled four nours before help reached him. Vickers, 65, a lawyer and former conservation commissioner of Mary- land, registered at the hotel shortly after 4 pm. yesterday. Police say that after going to his room he swallowed eight poison tablets obtained in Balti- more. Next he gashed his wrists, then his throat, using a penknife and a razor. About 9 o'clock he is said to have lifted the receiver of the telephone in his room. The operator notified the hotel management and an investiga- tion followed. A note found in the room read: “No coroner’s inquest required. Harrison W. Vickers, jr.” Mrs. Vickers and a daughter came to Wilmington last night. MARYLAND P. W. A. DIRECTOR RESIGNS Mackall Predicts W. P. A. Fail- ure—Disapproval of Baltimore Program Cited. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, August 7.—An as- gertion that the new Federal Works Progress administration promises to be “really more unsatisfactory than the original C. W. A. program” was made by John N. Mackall in resigning #s Maryland director of the P. W. A. A letter of resignation, addressed to Harry L. Hopkins, P. W. A. adminis- trator, gave this opinion as one reason for the resignation. Another reason was listed as failure of the P. W. A. to approve a works program Mackall out- lined for Baltimore. The resignation was first sent to Hopkins June 19. A‘telegram was re- ceived today from the P. W. A. ad- ministrator accepting it. The Baltimore program involved was said by persons outside Mackall's office to have been disapproved be- cause it failed to come entirely under the P. W. A. or the Public Works Administration requirements. Included in its projects were the widening of Fayette street, the construction of a new water, tunnel from Lock Raven to the city and work on the sewage plant at Back River. ‘The program’s total cost would have been approximately $35,000,000. = - Wax Comes From Peat. A wax which may be used in the manufacture of insulating material, shoe and floor polishes, and in other ways, is being extracted from peat in the Irish Free State. $I00 TO ANYONE WHO CAN FIND ANY WATER IN NOTICE We have arranged FREE PARKING facilities for our patrons while C Street between xt] Seventh northwest is undergoing repairs.

Leading world psychiatrists are pre- paring to study what they call the “collective macness,” which seems to prevail today in almost every country, and especially among the leaders of nations. The investigation will cover only the highly civilized nations in Europe and Asia, and will search the causes of the rapidly spreadigg war neurosis. Medical authorities who have been studying quietly the developments during the last 12 months do not be- lieve that the war spirit which exists everywhere these days is fostered by “vested interests.” This may have been true in the pre-war days, when bankers or ammunition makers made large profits from wars, but it is no longer true today. The case of Mussolini is typical. He claims that there is no room in Italy for the rapidly growing popula- | tion and consequently it is necessary | that the Italian people make the su- preme sacrifice of waging a long and costly war to conquer Ethiopia. On the other hand, he penalizes his own peo- ple if they do not get married and | encourages by handsome bonuses families with many children. Hitler is another type who deserves ! being studied. His actions in the field | of international affairs are logical; { but nobody can understand the rea- { sons of his unrelented persecution of | religious beliefs. And so, all along the line down to | Tokio, the psychiatrists intend to | study the principal figures in world politics in an endeavor to find the causes of their desire to mess up con- | ditions in the world. * ok x4 ‘There are ominous signs in Eritrea which should set Mussolini thinking before he finally decides to embark linto the tragic adventure against Ethiopia. High officials in Washington have received reliable information there has been serious discontent among the raw Italian troops sent to form the shock divisions of the Itallan army. _ The news which has not been al- lowed to get into the press is not surprising. The average temperature in the lowlands is about 130. The | Italian troops are young, full of en- | thusiasm but not used to the hard- | ships of a campaign in a tropical region. Under these conditions their enthusiasm is somewhat dampened In the Eritrean marshes they are no longer the hiroes which they have | been in their own home towns before ‘H’\Plr departure. The tedious routine of the camp. the heat and the tropical diseases are not inspiring elements which can keep up the enthusiasm of those youngsters for a long time. * ox ok ox The British are fully aware of lhe. dangers to the white race which the Italo - Ethiopian discord may cause. ‘The pending Italian attack on Ethiopia is felt like a challenge to all the peoples of the African continent— and 1n some sections of Asia, too. > | The black people have no natural | unity.

The wireless, the press, the movies and the tom-toms are all acquainting the forces of Africa'and Asia that the | last independent African empire is by way of becoming subjugated by a | white country. And despite the al-| leged efforts of the League of Na- tions to prevent such an aggression, the cards are stacked against the Ethiopians. As an example of the “white man’s dishonesty,” it is brought out that all the manufactur- ing countries have placed an informal embargo on arms and ammunitions to Ethiopia while Italy continues to have a free field. * € xx The race of death in the air is now in full swing.

The time may come, says Dr. Rob- ert E. Cornish, Berkeley scientist, when a man may do so simply by going to a laboratory, having himself frozen solid and put away with a tag indi- cating when he wishes to be thawed out. Dr. Cornish's experiments last year | in reviving dogs put to death clinic- ally attracted wide attention. The possibility of & century-nap was brought up during his comments today on experiments in which Dr. Ralph Willard, Hollywood gland re- search specialist, revived a monkey gland after it had oeen drozen stiff for three days. Dr. Cornish said Dr. Willard's work “seems to be quite a remarkable | achievement,” and opened up great | possibilitfes. “It has been known for | years that you can take young fish, freeze them solid and then thaw them out, and they will recover entirely. He (Dr. Willard) is the first to do it | with warm-blooded animals. “This experiment makes it pos- | sible to take a man of, say 40 years of age, inject sodium citrate into his blood, freeze him and put him away for a thousand years, or as long as he is kept frozen very cold to pre- vent any changes in the body. Then | thaw him out and he would go on living.” He explained the sodium citrate was necessary to keep the blood from clotting, which, he said, was ap- parently the fatal thing when a | person freezes to death. He also Super-Hydraulic Brakes e pointed out that the thawing process In “Dead” Revival Experiment | must be done very slowly.

Naps Foreseen key experiments showed he apparently had solved the problem of preventing blood clotting when animals are frozen. The Berkeley experimenter said he was not working on resuscitation of dogs at present. “Thirteen,” the dog he first revived from a state of clinical “death,” is now in Hollywood, under the care of a veterinarian. The animal never became wholly nor- mal, being unable to stand or walk unassisted. However, another dog used in the experiments, Scooter, is now able to get up and walk around unaided, Dr. Cornish said. LYNCHERS ESCAPE PITTSBORO, Miss., August 7 ().— Sheriff Jack W. Powell sald yesterday he had but meager information about the lynching Sunday night of Bodie Bates, colored, who was seized from his cell in the jail here by a mob which overpowered the turnkey. He was hanged from a bridge outside of town. The identity of the lynchers was not known, he said, and no arrests have been made. The victim was charged with an attempted attack on a young white woman. Officers said he at- tempted to force his way into her house after she had gone to bed.
