SENATORS DEBATE
|. FARM AID OVER AIR
Star Forum Audience Hears
Harrison and Jones
Give Views.

Widely divergent views on the two
major issues which will confront the
special session of Congress called by
President Hoover to convene April Is,
were laid before the Nation last night
through the medium of the radio in
The Evening Stars national forum. by
Senators Wesley L. Jones of Washing
ton, Republican, and Pat Harrison of
Mississippi, Democrat.
Both addresses were broadcast by
station WMAL as the key station of
Nationwide hook-up of the Colum-
bia Broadcasting system
They were the second of a series of
talks by nationally prominent speak
ers on issues Of great Importance in
the forum series.
The initial presentation Of the radio
forum was made last Saturday night
to q countrywide audience of millions
of listeners, with Senator William
Borah of Idaho as the speaker.
Senator Jones, who is the author of
the widely discussed new prohibition
measure, which puts teeth" in penal
ties exacted for violation of the national
prohibition laws, made no reference in
his adress to the question OF prohibi-
ton, devoting the Is minutes allotted
him to discussion Of farm relief, the
tariff and reapportionment of members
Of the House Of Representatives. On
the latter issue, he pledged an early
report from the committee which will
handle the matter and said he would.
press for prompt action in the Senate.
Different Scheme Revealed.
Senator Harrison, who is known for
his kindly but biting shafts of sarcasm
directed at his colleagues of different
political complexion, took direct lSSus
with Senator Jones on the tariff and
revealed far different scheme of farm
relief from that planned by the Repub-
lican leaders.
Where Senator Jones declared that if
surplus farm products could be market
ed by the producer, or under his con-
troll, prices would be stabilized to benefit
producer and consumer alike, Senator
Harrison declared it Is the eXportable
surplus with which the farmers and the
Democratic party are concerned and
which must be controlled If real farm
relief is extended
Harrison Urges Facts as Basis"
Where Senator Jones believed most
strongly in the efficacy of protective
tariff" Senator Harrison declared the
Democratic minority will strive To fix
tariff rates mot at the whim and dicta-
ton of that interest which seeks only
greater profits, but upon facts, after
careful study If possible, by a nom
partisan committee of experts"
Senator Harrison declared it would
seem from reading of his inaugural
address. that President Hoover has for
gotten the Importance and urgency for
reduction of transportation rates, the
improvement of our inland waterways
and the consideration of a shipway
from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic" >"

Three Army Flyers Take
"Refresher Course" at

Increasing indications of the admin

speedily developed late yesterday with
the announcement that 10000 rifles
100000 rounds of ammunition and
possibly bombs and machine guns for
use on airplanes, are to be sent to the
Mexican government from United
States Army reserve supplies.
At the same time it became known
that three Mexican army aviators, who
may be called on to enter the field
against the revolutionists. have begun
taking a brief "refresher" course OF
aviation training at the Anacostia Naval
Air Station here. Six additional Mexican
army pilots are to come here as soon as
they can be accommodated at the sta
ton to take similar training.
Negotiations also were begun at the
Department of State late yesterday for
permission from the United States Gov
ernment for the Mexican army to trans
port troops across American territory
if such a need arises. While no decision
was announced, it was understood that
Secretary of State Kellogg, with the ap-
proval of President Hoover. was pre-

STAPLES MAY FACE
CAPT. BURL|NGAME
Former Policeman Is Called
by Prosecution as Trial
Witness.

Former Policeman Orville Staples,
whose name has been mentioned fire.
quently during the trial Of Capt. Guy
E. Burlingame, was served with a sub
poena yesterday by Corporation Coun-
sci William w. Bride, chief prosecutor,
to appear before the extraordinary trial
board tomorrow as a prosecution witness.
The subpoena was served on Staples
when he voluntarily came to Brides
Office in the District Building and in
ouired whether he was wanted as q
witness. Staples lives in Montgomery
County, Md, and no attempt had been
made to summon him.
Staples did not become an important
factor in the case until the defense be-
gan its presentation and announced
that 1t would endeavor to show that
Capt Burlingame was the victim Of a
"frame-up." 1t was too late then for
Bride to summon him, except for the
rebuttal, which is scheduled to start
shortly after the trial is resumed tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock.
Bride Is Undetermined.
Bride, however, said he had not def
initely determined whether he would
call Staples to the witness stand, but
there is a strong likelihood that he will,
as 1t now appears that his principal wit
ness in the rebuttal. Mrs. Helen F. Bla-
lock, the accuser Of Capt. Burlingame.
will not return.
Staples, therefore, will be the only
witness that the prosecution can put
on the stand to answer the defense con-
tention that the charges against Capt.
Burlingame are the result of frame
up"
Mrs Blalock was reported last week
to be in hiding within 100 miles from
Washington" awaiting word from Cor
poration Counsel Bride to return for
the rebuttal. But Bride has received
no word from her since she took a
Chicago train after teStifying
before the grand jury, and he is doubt
full whether she will make her appear
ance tomorrow.
Mrs. Blalock might have been near
Washington last week. but on Tuesday
last she was in Chicago, as the tax
collectors oftice received cOmmunica-
tion from her bearing Chicago post
mark Of March S, requesting that the
real estate tax bills on property she
owns on Wisconsin avenue be forwarded
to her in care of a bank in Chicago.
The palmiSt did not reveal her ad-
dress there, however.
Defense to Rest Case Soon.
The defense expects to rest its case
shortly after the trial begins tomorrow,
leaving the remainder of the day for the
rebuttal and argument. According to
the schedule agreed to by both the de-
fenSe and prosecution the trial should
end by tomorrow afternoon.
The trial has been serious drain OH
the contingent fund Of the Police De-
partment, which is bearing the expense
of the services of the stenographer and
stenographic reports of the proceedings.
Thus far the transcript contains
nearly 1000 pages, and about 200 more
are expected to be added before the trial
closes. Police officials estimate that the
cost of the stenographic reports alone
will total $4,000.

of the circulation of alarmiSt reports
of an attempt to dynamite the Royal
Palace and oscars Hall, the police in
creased their vigilance and today found
a bottle containing about pound Of
dynamite in small building some dis

The hall is the prospective residence
of Prince Olaf and Princess Martha OF
Sweden after their marriage, which is
to take place late in March.
The police state that fuse attached
to the bottle was not lit, and even had
the dynamite exploded it would have
caused little damage. 1t is their theory
that the affair was intended only as a
protest against the proposal that the
hall should be used as a palace for the
Crown Prince.
The building and the surrounding
park at present are open to the public.
No definite decision has yet been
taken by the prince as to whether he
will reside there.

THREE WIN BATTLE
WITH LAKE GALE
Two Men and Woman, Adrift
Three Days, Finally
Reach Shore.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 9.-The story of
three-day battle with one of the
worst lake storms of the season, In a
disabled motor boat, was told tonight
by two men and woman, whose craft
limped into port here after Coast
Guardsmen had given them up for lost.
The trio-Nels Jensen, 80, Wauke-
gan fisherman; his wife, Anna, 81, and
brother Emmett, 2l, succeeded in re-
pairing the motor Of their boat. which
was put out of commission by the
rough seas, and made port at South
Chicago, so miles from Waukegan. The
occupants, suffering from hunger and
exposure, were cared for by Coast
GuardSmen.
Party without Food.
The party had been without food
during the interval, and everything
available on board, including life belts,
had been burned for fuel. This supply
was exhausted Friday.
The storm broke while they were
setting fish nets off Waukegan Wednes-
day. the trio told guardsmen.
Heavy seas soon laShed the little
craft and the four-cylinder gasoline
motor Sputtered and died as water
sprayed over the engine.
With q strong wind blowing offShore,
the launch drifted rapidly out in the
lake. Fish boxes were thrown over
board and tied to the boat to lessen the
drift, but the wind steadily carried the
craft outward. The heavy seas split
the stern most and the boat SDrang a
leak aft. Mrs. Jensen stuck to the
steering wheel and filled a mans job
while her husband and the brother
pump, bailing the water, and tinkered
with the disabled motor.
Ice Adds Grave Menace.
Another danger that beset the little
crew was ice. Waves washing over the
craft froze and coated the launch SO
heavily that 1t kept one man on deck

tions away to prevent the craft top
pling over Finally, as all were about
to give UP hope from lack OF food, lack
Of sleep and exposure, the men sue
ceeded in getting two of the cylinders
to working this afternoon, and, with a
wind from the northeast to aid them,
the launch half drifted to shore under
its feeble power.
Coast Guardsmen aided the crew
ashore. The party was given food and
put to bed at the Coast Guard station
