ARRANGE RITES
FOR TAD"

NEW YORK, May 3 u.N.s9.-
Funeral arrangements were being
made today for Thomas Aloysius
Dorgan, "Tad," internationally
famous cartoonist and sports writer.
who died at his Great Neck e.. ~
home yesterday.
The widow, Mrs. Izole M. Dorgan;
his mother, Mrs. Anna r. Dorgan;
four brothers and four sisters have
not fully recovered from the shock
of Tad's death.
1t is expected, however, that the
funeral will be private, inasmuch as
it would be virtually impossible to
accommodate all the people who
would want to attend. Hundreds
of messages of coincidence from
celebrities and others in all walks
of life continued to pour in on the
family today.

VOTE TODAY ON
DEBENTURE
PLAN

With victory for President Hoover
assured, Republican leaders today
launched a drive in the Senate
calculated to bring a vote on the
debenture plan Of farm relief before
nightfall.
The vote proper will be on an
amendment offered by Senator
Watson of Indiana. Republican floor
leader. striking the, debenture plan
out of the McNary farm bill.
A final poll by International
News Service showed the debenture
plan would be defeated by a margin
of from to II votes. The poll
revealed AZ Senators in favor of the
debenture and SO opposed, with
three undecided.
10 Republicans Rebel
Ten Republicans, led by Senator
Borah R.l of Idaho and the In
surgent bloc, were ready to split
with President Hoover Besides
Borah there were La Toilette and
Blaine, of Wisconsin; Brookhart, of
Iowa; Norris and Howell, of
Nebraska; Norbeck and McMaster,
of South Dakota; Frazier, OF North
Dakota, and Johnson. of California.
The remainder of the opposition
included 80 Democrats and one
Farmer-Laborite. b..
Forty-five Republicans and five
Democrats were slated to support
Hoover and oppose the debenture.
The Democrats were -Iing, of Utah;
Ransdell, of Louisiana; Trammell,
of Florida: Wagner. of New York,
and Walsh, of Massachusetts,.
If the three doubtful Senators
should vote with the President, the
debenture would he beaten by an
11-vote margin. If all three oppose
him he will still win by five votes.
Senator McNary R.} of Oregon.
author of the pending bill. and his
supporters. planned to cave no stone
unturned in their efforts to get
vote late today. Late yesterday they
blocked. an attempt to adjourn the
Senate before Senator Copeland D.)
of New York, discussed the measure.
Today debate was scheduled to be
of a desolutory character, excepting
appeals by the two party leaders
Watson and Robinson 3D. of Arkan-
sas, and McNary.
Bill Proper to Pass
Administration leaders predicted
little opposition to passage of the
bill once the debenture plan is de-
feated, and asserted that when
vote is reached early next week it
would be adopted by an overwhelm-
ing majority. A number of amend
ments will be mulled ever. Senator
Wagner has offered substitute for
the pending legislation involving
the setting up Of single Govern
inent.controlled and operated organi-
zation for the control Of surplus
crops. This, however, will probably
be voted down without a great deal
of discussion.

Candidates for the vacancies on

senatorial endorsements, it was
learned today.
Practically every member OF the
Senate District Committee has been
approached by one or more of the
competitors for the places vacated
by Chairman John w. Childress and
Col Harrison Brand.
The Senators have been asked to
send to President Hoover recon-
mendations to guide the Chief
Executive in making his selections
for the offices. None of the COM

action they had taken on these re-

Great clouds of smoke began to
belch from the rear of the car as
soon as Greenfield started pursuing
it. The bootlegger soon had his car
wide open as he shot down Penn
sylvania Avenue to Twelfth Street
Southeast.
The chase then led north on
Twelfth to B Street, west on B to
Third and south on Third to Yir-
ginia Avenue.
Greenfield's eyes were burning so
severely and breathing was so diff
ficult he was forced to abandon the
chase at Third Street and Virginia
Avenue Southeast.
The policeman was unable to see
the license number on the rear of
the automobile because the tail light
was off. He got several glimpses
of two men in the car, but was un-
able to recognize them. The ma
chine was one of the best money can
buy.
No shots were fired.

w. r. Greenfield, of the Eleventh
precinct motorcycle detail, was
nearly crushed between the whiskey
car and the curb more than a dozen
times as the rum.laden machine
zig-zagged along at more than so
miles an hour in a two-mile chase.
Several motorists were forced to
stop their automobiles to avoid col
liding with the liquor car. Several
pedestrians also had to jump for
their lives.
There was more danger of iniur.
ing innocent passersby than usual
in smoke screen chases as todays
engagement between rum-runners
and pedestrians took place shortly
after midnight instead of at or 5
o'clock a. m.
Greenfield was at Pennsylvania
and Alabama Avenues Southeast
when he first noticed the whiskey
machine. The rum-runner made
deliberate effort to run down the
policeman at the intersection, barely
missing him.

MAY BAR TRUST
PAPERS FROM

A demand for congressional ac-
ton to prevent the purchase Of
private newspapers by the so.called
Power Trust. possibly by excluding
such publications from the United
States mails. was spreading today
with the Senate Insurgent bloc
leading the way.
Senator Norris CR) of Nebraska,
head of the bloc, announced he was
studying the possibility of placing
a legislative curb on the Power
Trust. He declared the public utili-
ties. revealed as having bought
stock in a dozen different news.
papers, were slowly poisoning the
source of information for the Amer
lean people"
He said he felt Congress could act
against the Power Trust under the
public welfare clause of the Con-
stitution.
Other members OF the Insurgent
bloc rallied behind Norris.

Congress should act IL it can
find any way to stop the Power
Trust" said Senator Wheeler Cd
of Montant. "If the Independent
press of the country, which has
been the safeguard of our liberties
and democracy since the nation was
founded, can be bought up like so
many power sites, the people ulti.
mately will be enslaved. This ques.

IF we have the power to do it,,
Congress should bar these Power

Senator Nye R) of North Dakota,
"The Power Trust is playing an
amazing game. One would think
that recent disclosures of it's activi-
ties in school rooms. among edu-
Gators and in attempts to control

SEES WAGES OFFSET
BY UNEMPLOYMENT
Speaker Amplifes Statement at In
stitute Of Politics Regarding Ad.
vance in Workers Compensation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, September i4-Dr.
william r Foster, director of the Pollak
Foundation for Economic Research,
today ampltfed a statement to the
effect that gains in real wages during
the past 10 years of those who have had
jobs may have been wholly Offset by
the losses of those who have not had
jobs, which he was credited with making
before the Institute of Politics at Will
Jamestown. August 90.
ITO determine the share of wage
earnings as a whole in our recent pros
perity. it is necessary to take account
of changes in the numbers who are I'M
employed" said DR.. Foster.
THE man who has no jobs gains little
comfort from reading about the gains
made by the man who has a job. In
the decreases in the numbers employed
in manufacturing industries. 1t is en-
tirely possible that the gains in real
wages during the past few years or
those who have had jobs have been
wholly Offset by the losses of those who
have not had jobs.
I'VE shall not know whether wage
earners as a whole have had any share
whatever in the prosperity which seems
to be revealed from day to day in stock
market reports, until our present frag-
mentary and misleading statistics Of
the unemployed are replaced with COM
prehensiye and reliable data For
tunately such data can readily be OBJ
tanned and fortunately one important
step toward obtaining the needed data
will be taken in the next census of

IDOL ROLE BORES
EDISON PRIZE BOY
Wilbur B. Huston Is Eager to
Begin His College Engi-
neering Career.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, September 14.-Dedicated
to science and progress by the Edison
award, Wilbur B. Huston Is eager to
begin his college career-and to get
away from meeting the public in the
role Of its idol.
To discourage the common belief that
the national contest was for the ex-
press purpose of filling Thomas A.
Edisons shoes" the 17-year-old Seattle
boy has told interfiewers 1T can't be
done,
He continued that that is not what
1t is expected of him. He thinks the
award principally is a scholarship in
technical training, with the aim OF
adding greatly to the advance of sci
ence.
No Fear Of Result.
Hoping he can do what is expected
OF him, the youth has no fear of max
ing the attempt, no fear Of the result.
Huston Is not boastful but is thor
oughly confident in his ability and In
the training he will get.
Since his earliest thoughts Of COL
lege, Wilbur has had a desire to at
tend the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. It was in his first years
of high school work that he upset his
predestinators, who had outlined for
him a classical career, that he might
follow in his fathers footsteps. His
father Is Rt. Rev. Arthur Huston, bishop
of the diocese of Olympia.
Although the young mans education
will be principally scientific, he has
not definitely decided upon the exact
phase.
And what he will do when he I'm
ishes college is another unsolved Ques-
ton for Huston. He said he Is not
obligated to work for the Edison Co.,
nor is the Edison Co. obligated to en-
ploy him.
To Join 5000 Others.
When Huston arrives at Cambridge,
Mass. he automatically will become
one Of a group Of nearly 5000 young
men who have set their eyes on goals
of high attainment in various branches
Of engineering-the student body OF
M. I. T.
Aside from his purely technical
studies, young Huston will find many
opportunities for cultural development
seldom found in an engineering col
lege.
Students are encouraged to partici-
pate in campus activities. If he is in
terested in writing. Huston will find
much to interest him In the unedr-
graduate newspaper and humorous and
technical publications
Where Huston will live at the school
has not yet been made known. While
freshman dormitories are maintained
and students are encouraged to make
their home there, it is probable Hus-
ton may be pledged to one OF the fra
ternities.
Huston's progress doubtless will be
interesting to the faculty, because of
the unusual type Of scholarship he has
won but the treatment accorded him
will be the same in every respect as that
given the thousands of other students.
