fARM RI-]_IEF STILL (NEW BRITAIN PAYS [Memorial Day Observance Here Through Camera’s Eye PUZZLES CINGRESS Houss Reluses to Continue Dis- .cussiononmmn Washingten, May 31 U» — Con- Sressional interest over the week- end is focused on the farm relief conferees of the senate and house, who were called to resume their meetings today after the refusal of the houss members to continue dis- cussions until the export debenture provision was eliminated. The renewal of conferences was vegarded as forecasting a surrender by the senate group on the debenture provision, but that point had not been decided, and Senator McNary, republican, Oregon, the chairman of the conferees, hoped to go ahead with his original plan of taking up other differences between the senate and house on farm relief before settling the big dispute. Hoover Ultimatum Issued The edict of President Hoover that farm relief must be enacted into law before a congressional va- cation is arranged for has forced the issue. House leaders are stand- ing by the presidential opposition to the debenture. It appears that the ‘senate next week will be called upon te make a choice between eliminat- ing this controversial proposition or staying in session to fight it out with the house through the sultry dog days. The bill of Senator Borah, re- publican, Idaho, to place commis- sion merchants dealing in perishabla products under federal supervision, was the business before the senate today. So many members mad: plans for the week-end carrying them out of the city, however, that no hope was held of making head- way ‘before Monday. Next week is expected to bring the showdown on the congressional situation. By that time something definite is expected from the farm relief conferees; a vote will be had on the Borah bill; and a vote is in prospect on the motion of Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, to carry out President Hoover's recom- mendation for repeal of the nation- al origins immigration quota provi- sion. The house is expected to act rly in the week on the census-te- portionment measure passed Wed- Besday by the senate. Urges Tariff Vote Date But Mr. Hoover also has given notice that before any recess is un- dertaken, he expects the senate to fix a definite date for a vote in the fall on the tariff bill. Subsequently, some sharp differences of view as to vacation plans have been disclos- ed among the senate republican leadership. Benator Jones of Washington, the @asistant leader, has bolted the pro- gram of Senator Watson of Indiana, the party leader, for the all-summer recess. Senator Jones says the tar- iff bill ought to be enacted into law before any recess is taken. Two Months Needed Senator 8moot, Utah, the veteran ¢chairman of the finance committee, however, has answered that the committee will require two months to get the bill ready for the senate. Bo, the hope of Senator Jones io force a continuous session and ac- tion on the tariff measure by Sep- tember seems to have been severely Jolted. Benator Watson, meanwhile, is going ahead working out an agreement for a vote in November in the senate on the tariff, Mrs. Hoover Attends Radcliffe Exercis: Boston, May 31 UP—Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the president, ar- rived here from Washington at 8:48 this morning to attend the semi- centennial of the founding of Rad- cliffe college. Mrs. Hoover was met by a small group at South Station and left immediately for Cambridg-. Cambridge, Mass, May 31—Rad- elifte college today celebrated the semi-centennial of its foundation, with Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the president of the United States, among its distinguished guests. 1t was Mrs, Hoover's first visit to New England since the election -cam- paign. 8he was accompanied from Washington by Miss Ada Louise Comstock, president of Radcliffe, ut whose instance she accepted the col- lege's invitation.

Customs Men Search Liner for Contraband Hoboken, N. J., May 31 (UP)— Twenty customs mecn searched ,the liner President Harding for contra- band liquor today on completion of its first westward crossing of the At- lantic as a “wet chip.” The Presi. dent Harding. with the Leviathan and other ships. recently was sold by the government to United States Lines, Inc.. which inaugurated a liquor-serving policy aboard. The customs men, believing crew members might have hidden liquor for bootleg sales to passengers on the next eastbound voyage, inspected every corner of the vessel but ap- parently found nothing. Twins were born on the shin to Mrs. Sarah O'Toole, a passenger from Queenstown, Ireland, to join her husband. William. in New York. One of the twins a girl, died. The boy was named Wifliam Harding O'Toole after his father and the ship. Germany is holding many centen- @ry celebrations this year. TRIBUTE TO HEROES (Continued from First Page) sirls’ organizations also were in lne. Services at Central Park At Broad street the parade coun- termarched and came back to the Civil War memorial at Central park. There services for the Civil War veterans were held. _In behalf of the local post of the Grand Army of the R¥public, Adju- tant William F. Sternberg placed a wreath at the base of the megporial. Other wreaths were placed by the G. A. R. Auxiliary, the Sons of Vet- erans, the Daughters of Veterans and Eddy-Glover post, American Legion. Following this, George A. Quigley, former mayor. read Lincoln’s Get- tysburg address. His voice scarcely audible through the roar of traffic and the clanging of street car gongs, aged Adjutant Sternberg made his report on the graves of Civil War veterans which had heen decorated for Memorial Day. As the adjutant was helped from the platform, the report was repeated for the benefit of those who had not heard it. Mayor Paonessa's Address ° Mayor Paonessa spoke as follows: “Today is set aside as Memorial Day. It is a day when all should pause and pay tribute to those who went forth in defense of their coun- try. “I consider it a real privilege and a high honor to participate in these | exercises, and it is quite fitting (hll[ I make mention of the great sacri- fice and the patriotism of those who have gone, but it is no profit for us to eulogize these men, or to sound the praises of all who bore arms in the defense of their country, un- less we take to heart, the lessons they have taught us. They have gone, and they have shown their do- votion to a great cause, and they have left us to see to it, that the cause shall not be betrayed, whether | in war or in peace. “It may be said, with truth, that the dangers of peace are worse than the dangers of war. Every day, in all walks of life, forces are contend- ing about us, and on one side or the other of these bloodless battles, all of us must arraign ourselves, and ii is appropriate for us on a day liks this, that we once more pledge our- selves to keep faith with America, in the same manner as those noble heroes who have gone before us. “While it is impossible for us to do more than do honor to their memory, and to erect lasting memo- rials, we can pledge ourselves anew to carry out the principals for which they laid down their lives. We cherish their memory by erecting memorials, and by so doing, we hon- or all those who fought and died that our nation might live, whether buried in the soil of their mother country, or buried in the blood- drenched battle flelds. “It is sad but inspiring, to see you, comrades of the dead. who with equal patriotism, upheld the flag of our country, turn out in such great numbers, to pay tribute to your un- fortunate brothers. You may feal assured that the city of New Brit- | ain is proud to have such sons. “To the mothers and fathers and relatives of the illustrious dead. there must be a solemn pride, les- sening your sorrow, in the thought that those dear to 'you, ‘hat gave up their lives on the altar of libnrl!’,‘ have dene much toward changing | for the better, the face of the worli And also, the thought that those who die for such great causes, do not die in vain. “In conclusion, may I ask, that all of you. during your moments of meditation today. offer up your prayer for the repose of the souis of those, who gave their all for us.”" After the mayor had spoken, the members of the local post of the Grand Army passed through the monument. The band played the Star Spangled Banner and the Rev. John J. Keane pronounced the bene- diction. Co.npany I, 169th regiment, fired a volley over the monument and a bugler sounded Taps. World War Memorial Services Immediately following the services at the Square, the parade moved to the world war memorial at Walnut Hill park, where services for the world war dead took place. The American Legion band played America, after which the invocation was given by Rev. William Ross. “This is the first Memorial Day since the dedication and completion of the monument here.,” declared Maurice H. Pease, commander of Eddy-Glover post in his brief ad- dress, “and I wish to express the gratitude of the American lLegion to the city for the way they have re- membered our fallen comrades, whose names are here inscribed in| bronze. “In our feeble way, to pay tribute to these men. come here to show respect to their | memories. They gave their {that right shall be the master | might. “They gave their lives that peace and brotherhood might prevail, | {that our children shall have the | heritage of freedom. The best tribute that we can give to them is| to show them that they have not given their lives in vain. “This memorial will help us to keep in mind those who died.
