Washington, May 9.-iF)-Senate
Republican leaders today urged house

tional AFFECTION to the senate's action
In voting debenture provision in the
farm bill and permit the measure to
be received by the house and sent to
conference after the senate finally
passes It.
House leaders have raised the areu-
ment that the export debenture pro.
vision relates to tariff and that such
legislation must originate in the
house. There Is . serious movement
In the house to have 1t refuse to re-

would force an interminable delay In
the farm relief legislation program

ARRESTED
IN FARMERS DEATH
Man Dies From Wounds Four
Hours Before Insurance
Expired.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GREELY, Nebr., February 1.-THE
death of a farmer four hours before
his $4,000 insurance policy would have
expired had resulted today in the arrest
of his young tenant, beneficiary under
the policy.
When Fred Helser died February 4
authorities accepted the story of his
neighbor and tenant, A. w. Emery,
that Helser accidentally shot himself
when the two were hunting.
Later it was learned Helser and En-
cry each had taken out a $4,000 life
insurance policy two months before,
naming each other as beneficiary. En-
the initial premium on both.
Because of failure to keep up the
premium, the policies were to- expire
at midnight February 4. Helser died
at o'clock that night. Emery had
made on attempt to collect $4,000
when arrested yesterday. He insisted
that Helser was accidentally shot and
that the policies were part of a plan
Of financing a partnership in the cattle
feeding business
Emery's arrest was delayed by a
complaint filed by his father, charging
the young man was insane When in
formed that the county attorney would
fight his petition, the father withdrew
the complaint. He said he knew
nothing Of the pending murder charge
on which his son was later arrested.
Helser, SO years old, and Emery, %,
lived alone, HelSer in a dugout. Emery
rented 80 acres of Helser's land, which
was understood to have been heavily

"The fact that the code makes fourth
liquor law violations and fourth vio-
lators Of many other so-called minor
crimes subject to life Imprisonment Is
making 1t an object of ridicule," the
governor said. Enough ridicule might
tear down the entire structure"
The governors plea was made in
answer to a statement by Rev. r. NJ.
Holsaple, superintendent Of the Mich
igan Anti-Saloon League, in which he
declared the governor was politically
short-sighted" in his zeal for amending
the liquor provision of the State code.

bar ASSOCIATION
ISSUES RADIO TRACT
Report Reveals General Ac-
cord With Legislative
recommendations.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

| Many of the questions now perplex-
| ing the Nations lawmakers as they
pursue their current inquiry into the
various qualifications of radio are an
swered in a tentative report just issued
by the American Bar Association in
the interest of establishing radio juris-
prudence on sound basis"
The report reveals general accord
with legislative recommendations al
ready advanced by leaders in various
branches of radio. It was prepared un-
we'll, chief counsel for the Federal Ra-
dio Commission, after he and his COM
mittee held conferences with repreSen-
tative groups of legal and technical
men from the Government and the
| industry.
Like the National Association of
BroadcaSters, whose legislative report
was submitted to the House Committee
on Radio last week, the American Bar
Association committee does not attempt
to express views at this time whether
the regulation of radio communication
should be lodged in a single authority,
such as the Secretary of Commerce, or
in tribunal like the Federal Radio
Commission.
It does, however, urge that "the
NCClloIiS duLIlOi4ey, WIldCSFCA lCo CI11A =
acter, should be put on a permanent
basis as soon as it is possible to do SO;
that it Is undesirable that persons in
authority over SO important field
should be handicapped by the fact that
their appointments are only one year,
and that it Is important that an in
creased measure Of stability be brought
about"
Points Out Overlapping.
On the matter of establishing COM
munications commission to regulate ra-
dio, telegraph, telephone and cable,
combining the authority of the Fed
eral Radio Commission and the Inter
state Commerce Commission the COM
mittee makes no recommendations.
But its report points out how the
present radio law and authority over
laps into the other fields of commune
cation, and predicts that the question
of unifying the regulatory control over
communications will doubtless take
concrete form in the next Congress.
Attention is called to the much-dis-
cussed equalization amendment, pre-
