Senate and House Conferees
Continue DeadIocked on
Farm Relief Bill.
MEETING is ADJOURNED
WITHOUT MAKING GAIN
Representatives Would Agree to
Vote on Other Amendments,
They Tell Senators.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Fans for an early recess of Congress,
possibly by Wednesday. may be blocked
because of deadlock over the farm re-
Net bill now in conference.
Senate and House confereeS met
again today and got nowhere. The
House conferees, standing soldidly
against the Senate debenture amend
ment, say they will not take the bill
back to the House for a vote on the
debenture plan, which, they argued,
the House has already turned down by
an overwhelming vote.
The Senate conferees still demand
House action on the debenture plan be-
fore any recession is made on that
amendment by the Senate.
VIII Meet Again Tomorrow.
The conferees will meet again tomor-
row morning. The situation when they
broke up today was declared to be just
the same as it was when they met on
Monday for the first time,
There is great pressure in both the
Senate and House for an early recess,
lasting several weeks, while the Senate
finance committee deals with the tariff
bill. The fact that the House will pass
the tariff bill in all probability Tuesday
afternoon has added to hope OF re-
cess before Decoration day, lasting for
the Senate throughout June and posi-
bly, for the House until August.
There will be no recess, however, until
after the farm relief bill has become
law. That is clear, according to Sena-
tor Watson, Republican leader, who said
today, final enactment Of farm relief
and the census-reapportionment bill is
necessary before the Senate can con-
slider a recess. He made the declaration
to the Senate In demanding Saturday
session.
House conferees steadfastly decline
to consider other Senate amendments
to the farm bill until there Is agree
ment on debenture. It was said tocay
that consideration of the other Senate
amendments might require three or
four days work by conferees. Among
amendments are those proposed by the
Senate to increase the membership OF
the Federal Farm Board and f1x the
salary of the chairman at $l2, 500 In
stead of having the President fix the
salary, as provided In the House bill.
Would Agree to Vote.
The House conferees have indicated
their willingness to take any Of these
amendments back to the House for a
vote if no agreement could be reached
by the conferees. But they fatty de-
ciined to go back to the House with
the debenture clause.
One danger in following the latter
course would be the possibility Of facing
the constitutional question OF the right
of the Senate to originate the debenture
plan, which In some quarters Is declared
to be revenue legislation.
The House conferees insist that the
Senate conferees yield on the debenture
clause, or that they at least 60 back to
the Senate for instructions regarding
that clause. How long the Senate will
be able to hold out, with the demand
facing them for no further delay IN the
passage of the farm bill and recess OF
Congress, remains to be seen.

AMERICANS GET ALL
OF new GOLD FIELD

posit Valued UP to

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED FEeSe'
MANILA, May 24.-An immensely
valuable deposit Of gold is reported to
have been found along the Angat River,
Is miles north of Manila. The lowest
estimate of its value by mining men
was fixed at $2O,ooo,Ooo and the highest
at s5o,oo0,oo0.
To the extent of its known limits, the
deposit has been entirely staked out by
10 Americans, all of whom are either
members or employees Of an American
engineering concern here.
The gold is contained in quartz
vein which, it's discoverers say, has been
traced for 5000 feet. The vein ranges
in width from Is to 200 feet.
The discovery was made several
months ago by George Cushing, fore
man, during the construction OF tun-
mel for the metropolitan water district.
Noticing considerable placer gold In the
Angat River, he prospected the regiNn
and found the quartz ledge.
Since the laws of the Philippines pro.
vide that only one claim may be stakeo
by an individual, Gushing favored ms
friends and co-workerS by stalking the
remainder of the vein in their names

AMERICANS TAKE
LEAD IN TENNIS
HenneSSey 0vercomes Abe
and Van Ryn Was Ahead
in Unfinished Match.
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
With 1-to-0 lead, the United States
Davis Cup team entered its second day
of its tennis encounter with Japan in
the American zone semi-final round to-
day to engage in the concluding play
of the singles contest and the series
doubles match.
The same combinations that played
in yesterdays singles-John Van Ryn
and John Hennessey for America and
Yoshiro Ohta and Tamio Abe for
Japan-were matched for the doubles
encounter at the Chevy Chase Club.
Van Ryn, the 22-year-old former Prince
ton star, was pitted against Ohta, the
japanese captain, for the concluding
play of the singles battle, in which the
American yesterday gained two sets to
one lead and an advantage of q four
games to two In the fourth set.
The Japanese displayed unexpected
strength in yesterdays singles matches,
each capturing a set from the Ameri-
cans. AS result Of this showing they
were conceded a chance for victory in
the doubles. but the youthful American
Davis Cup duo has a faster all-around
game and was counted on by its sup
porters to overcome the Japs chief
forte Of craft court generalship.
Japanese Players Injured.
Both Japanese suffered slight injuries
match, bruiSing his right forearm and
slightly straining finger. and Ohta,
while racing after the ball, suffered a
cramp in his right foot. Neither in
jury, however, was serious enough to
slow up their play.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, who headed at
yesterdays matches a colorful gallery,
including several ambassadors, ex-
pressed her sympathy after he had
fallen. She did not watch the entire
Van Ryn-Ohta encounter. President
Hoover has signifled his desire to at
tend the matches either today or to-
morrow. and another turnout of diplo-
mats and Government officials had ar
ranged to witness today's contests.
Two more singles matches will be
played tomorrow, concluding the series.
Ohta Best Of japanese.
Ohta gave the best exhibition for the
Japanese yesterday. He captured the
first set, "a, out-stroking Van Ryn
in a back court battle. The Jap also
had an opportunity to win the second
set after he had evened the count at
sail, but stellar net and overhead
attack brought Van Ryn a IS VIC
tory. In the third set, which Van Ryn
won, 6-2, and the uncompleted fourth
set, the Americans cross-court attack
and hard service overcame Ohta.
The bespectacled Abe took the third
set, 6-3, and extended the Hoosier in
tne nrst set to deuce 8-6 victory.
Hennessey, however, displayed his usual
form in the other two sets. winning
both, 6-1.

In the extreme south OF Germany,
just across the border line from Aus

Oberammergau. It Is located ut the
bottom Of cuplike hollow among the
hills. The houses are quaint and small.
The streets are crooked, narrow and
short. The outstanding piece Of archi-
lecture Is the great wooden theater, re-
sembling q hangar or an extra large
garage.
Oberammergau and this wooden
building are world famous. for it is
here that the Passion Play has been
held every 10 years for some three
centuries.
The play itself is an all-day per-
formance, depicting the last week of
the life Of Jesus, and Is remarkably
well done, especially when you con-
slider that all the characters In the
play are residents Of this little mite of
