NAVAL INQUIRY
SET FOR RIVER
DROWNING

While harbor police and sailors
searched the waters Of the Potomac
River. off Alexandra, Va, today.
for the body Of Ernest g. ]. Biron.
21, aviation machinist mate. board
of inquiry was called at the Naval
Air Station to determine what caused
q giant seaplane, carrying the miss
ing man and six other persons, to
plunge into the river yesterday.
The wrecked remains Of the all.
metal Flamingo monoplane are rest
ing on the wharf at the naval air
station, awaiting examination by
the board.
All last night harbor police drag.
eed the river at the spot where the
big plane, with its motors roarings
dived under the water. One crew
dragged until midnight when they
were relieved by policemen who
dragged until Z q. m. today.
Search Goes On
No signs of Biron's body were
found, and another crew was or
dered to take up the search at :
o'clock.
Biron, It il believed, was thrown
against the instrument board ana
knocked unconscious when the
plane struck t. water with terrific
force. The six other occupants Of
the machine we-s stunned ana
slightly injured by the force Of the
impact. but managed to work free
from the wreckage and swim to
the surface.
They are:
Warren Vine, %, pilot.
C.. Gilbert Peterson, director o4
sales for the Metal Aircraft Corp
grafton Of Cincinnati.
Norman Emerson Roberts, avia'
ton machinist mate. third class.
Joseph C. Ouka, aviation ma
cAinist mate, second class.
jay H. Whoolery, aviation
machinist mate, second class.
Alvin r. Bugbee, gunnery sers'
cant, U. S. Marine Corps.
At Naval Hospital
Ouka and Whoolery are being
treated at the Naval Hospital. The
former is suffering from frlc.
tured nose and cuts and bruises,
while Woolery is being treated for
| cuts. bruises, shock and submersipn.
The plane was being tested to
meet the qualifica tons laid down
by the Navy Department. 1t took
| off from the naval air station on
the second leg of its speed tests
shortly before o'clock.
Vine, crack air mail pilot Oh the
Cincinnati-Ch Chicago route, sent the
big ship roaring down the Navy
speed test course to Alexandra at
| a speed Of lis miles an hour.
He was flying low and the river
stretched out under the plane, calm
and silvery like a long mirror. Pi.
lots at the local fields dread flying
over the river when it like that.
! that leads the flier to believe he
face when, in reality, his pontoons
may be almost touching the surface.
The enlisted sailors in the plans
watched apprehensively as Vine
| prepared to turn at the end Of the
course. They had seen other pilots
fooled by the mirror-like watera
and realized too late that Vine was
/ another victim-but there was moths
ing they could do except hold o.
and wait.
The plane banked sharply . feyp
feet above the water. A win
touched and it crashed. The bo6
tom was torn off. Five of thA
survivors made their escape through
this hole. They came to th&
surface and held on to parts Of tho
wrecked plane until they wer&
picked up by a tug.
Vine was unable to swim anN
Peterson held his head above thl
water until help arrived.
Experienced pilots at the Nave
Air Station were amazed that the
death toll was not larger.

HOOVER GAINS IN
ALIEN FIGHT

Assured of a victory in the farm
relief battle, President Hoover to-
day appeared to be gaining ground
in the Senate on his recommenda.
ton for repeal of the national
origins immigration law.
While the President frequently
has declared he would not interfere
with the legislative freedom of Con.
gress, his emissaries have been urg.
ing vigorous campaigns in the Sen
ate for elimination of the debenture
plan from the farm bill and for re-
peal Of the new immigration quotas.
which go into effect July l. The
debenture fight has been won
through the activity of Administra.
ton leaders though the vote may
not come until next week.
Outcome In Doubt
A different group. led by Senators
Nye CR.) of North Dakota and Allen
(R.) of Kansas, a newcomer, has
conducted the fight to carry out his
immigration policy.
They have met with extraordinary
success, so much so that forlorn
hope has been turned into a doubt
full contest in which either side
may win. The advocates OF the
National origins plan. however. may
defeat the Presidents wishes by
filibustering.
At the outset of the immigration
war, but a dozen Senators appar-
emily favored repeal of the new
quotas. With Nye and Allen con-
ducting systematic campaign for
votes. recruits were swung into the
Presidents forces until the outcome
now is in doubt.
I'VE have 48 Senators pledged to
vote for repeal of the NATIONAL
origins quotas" said Nye. II can
/, therefore. believe we will win.
| The result though will be mighty
close"
Reed Chief Opponent
Forty,eight Senators would be a
| clear though single-vote majority
of the Senate, If Nye's poll is cor
rect. 1t would give the President a
victory.
Senator David A. Reed R) OF
Pennsylvania. often an administra'
| ton leader, has directed the fight
this time against the President
He too predicted victory. A poll
taken by representatives Of the
| American Legion, which is advocat
| ing the National Origin quotas, like
wise indicated defeat for the
| President. This poll showed three
vote maiority against repeating the
new law.
One of the amazing features Of
the immigration fight has been the
| opposition of administration. leaders
to the Presidents program. This
opposition. however, has given Allen
who came into the Senate after
serving as publicity director for
Hoover's campaign, chance tc
appear in the role of administration
leader. The Kansan has been active
in urging his colleagues to ''stand
| by the President"
May Block Vote
Should the National Origins fac
ton sense defeat ahead, its leadeps
undoubtedly viii block a vote. A
! filibuster would result in a victory
il 1t were continued either until
Congress takes Its summer recess
sion. until July 1.
! On that GATE, the new quotas
take effect and a repeal could not
| be effective until a year later.
Belgium, Great Britain. Greece
Hungary, Italy, the Netherland:
and Russia gain immigrants under
the new quotas, while Austrian
Danish, German. Irish Free State
Norwegian and Swedish immigra
ton is reduced The grand tota'
| of immigration would be reduced
from 1914 900 to $4,000.

Peace Of the World

rs the United States prepared to join Great Brit
ain in a political partnership which shall have as
its primary purpose the forceable maintenance Of
the world?" asks DIR. Mark Sullivan. This is the
question which overshadows al others for Europe
and indeed. the whole world in respect Of the forth
coming London conference
A political partnership Of the two names would re-
suit in another political partnership at some future
time Of all the other nations ignored If the deal be-
tween Uncle Sam and John Bull should be consum-
mated.
Now just why should the United States take under
the wing Of Uncle sam all the other nations Of the
earth with the sole exception Of John Bull?
Peace of the world IS greatly to be desired BY the
Inhabitants Of the world. But the political partner
ship outlined is traught with great danger.
If batt1eships are to be dismantled. and armies
Gisbanded. why should a political partnership be
necessary?
Americans arc producers OF the farm staples. as
we'll as the manufactured goods. They must find
markets on the bargain counters Of the seven seas.
Why should they force the combination Of the peo-
pie Of 81 nations who should be friendly buyers and
not suspicious enemies?

In The 'YelIowhammer' State

In Old Virginia the Cannon democrats who voted
FOR Mr.. Hoover held a convention and nominated
their state ticket. Regular democrats held a state
primary. invited all democrats who would pledge
themselves to support the nominees to participate
and made their campaign along the lines Of the
past.
On election day the regulars won BY a majority
of 10000. As for the Cannon democrats, they were
not only overwhelmed. but suffocated.
It is different in old Alabama. There the state
committee met BY a vote Of q to p tho committee
adopted a resolution barring from the primary ticket
or official ballot the name of Sen. J. 7. Helm, who
campaigncd and voted for Mr.. Hoover in 1923. They
barred from the official ballot the name OF a demo-
crat who is q candidate for governor and who had
likewise voted for Mr.. Hoover in 1923.
Then they invited all democrats who are not candi-
dates for office regardless Of how they voted In 1928
to participate in the forthcoming primary. Sen. Hef-
lin has announeeG that he viii make the race as an
independent. As for the blacklisted gentleman who
IS ambitious to be governor Of Alabama, he viii make
the race as an independent.
There were stormy times in Virginia while the
campaign was on. It resulted in a regular victory
and Cannon funeral.
There will be stormy times IN old Alabama while
the campaign is on. VIII it be a Helm victory or a
Helm funeral?
The ballot is the thing. Wait for the primary
election count.
