OPPOSITION TO
FIGHT HOOVER
Origins Clause And Tariff
Revision Limitation
Are Issues

WASHINGTON, April 22.-LP-
Farm relief claimed predominating
attention on both sides of the capt.
toll today as congress entered the
second week of its special session.
Not only had President Hoover's
declaration against the export de-
benture plan focused interest on this
subject, but the houses had reached
the last day of its general debate
on a farm relief bill which meets
his views and the senate was at the
beginning Of q discussion of its
measure.
AS the principal piece of -legis-
lation recommended by President
Hoover, both chambers are giving
farm relief right-of-way. The house
plans to pass it's bill Wednesday CT
Thursday. but the senate operating
under rules which do not permit
such limitations on discussion, is ex-
pected to require several weeks for
consideration of the proposal.
Although the presidents declara-
ton is coutned on to prevent adop-
ton of the debenture provision by
the senate and thereby ~forestall a
serious disagreement between the
chambrs on this issue, the first week
of the session has clearly pointed
to difficulties in prospect owe other
proposals on the administration pro.
gram.
The disagreements appear to be
brewing most actively within the e
publican fold in the senate. Senator
Re d, republican, Pennsylvania.
leader in the regular republican
ranks, is prepared to lead a fight
against the executives proposal for
repeal Of the national origins clause
of the immigration act and also
against the sharp limitation he de-
Sires on tariff reviSionS.
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee, mean
while are rounding out their draft
of the tariff revision bill in closed
sessions and expect to have the
measure ready for consideration by
the house as soon as it diSposes Of
the farm bill. -

EXPERTS MEET
TO END SOON
Death Certificate of Rep
arations To Be Drawn
Tomorrow

PARIS, April 22.-R-Final
showdown of the reparations con-
ference was once more delayed this
forenoon when the experts met but
almost Immediately adjourned IN
til tomorrow.
Opening of the plenary session
was delayed somewhat while the
experts attended a memorial SER
vice at the English church for
Lord Revelstoke, who died Friday
after Thursdays tempestuous ses-
sion with DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
German spokesman.
Postponement of the formal
session of the conference until to-
morrow was made necessary by the
late arrival in Paris of DR.. Schacht
and DR.. Albert Voegler, from Ber-
lin, where they went to inform the
German cabinet of the satus of the
negotiations.
Nothing seemed to be left the
session tomorrow except meeting,
preparation of the conferences
death certificate and adjournment.
Two possible forms appeared for
this death certificate, with many
favoring a mere statement to the
governments concerned that the
experts had failed in their mission
because of impossible conditions
posed by one of the principal par
ties. Others held the report of the
committee, while denoting failure,
should not give the idea that it was
final, but should delineate the
progress made in preparing a new
framework for the separations pay
ments.

PILOT BLAMED
FOR DEATHS
Small Pursuit Plane Crash
&c Into Maddux Air
Liner

SAN DIEGO, Calf, April 22.-P)
Lieut.. Howard Keefer, army pilot,
was blamed today by the San Diego
board Of air control for the mid-air
collision of his army pursuit plane
and an air liner that cost six lives,
including his own, here yesterday.
A statement by j. Allison Moore,
president Of the board, issued after
an investigation, declared Keefer
had been stunning and otherwise
violating air traffic rules.
The tragedy, the second of its
kind in San Diego in three days and
the most disastrous in the history of
the city, occurred shortly after the
air liner, owned by the Maddux Air
Lines, Inc, and carrying five pass
engers, took off for Phoenix, Ariz.
Ground observers said Lieut.. Keefer,
who was following the liner in his
swift pursuit plane, evidently mis-
judged the distance and crashed
into a wing of the big plane.
Besides Lieut.. Keefer, the dead
were:
Maurice Murphy, of Beverly Hills,
Gal. p1lOI OF the air lIlSr.
Miss Cecilia Kelley, 81, newspaper
reporter of Kansas City, Denver and
Phoenix.
Arturo Guajardo, prominent law
yer Of Baja California.
Miss Amelia Guajardo. 10, his
daughter.
Louis D. Pratt, relief pilot of the
air liner.
Keefer was seen to jump and re-
lease his parachute, but it caught
on a wing Of his plane, and he
dangled there until the wreckage
struck the earth.

AT OI1EEN

OF the screen some actress has been
dubbed THE Girl With a Thousand
Faces" often with very little justi-
fication outside of an ambitious
press agents fertile imagination.
However, in THE Road to Ruin"
which will be shown at the Queen
theater. starting tomorrow for three
days, there appears a new screen
luminary, Helen Foster, whose poig-
nant personality and wistful charm
will linger in your memory always.
1t is difficult to believe that the
adorable little lighthearted school
girl of the opening scenes and the
tired and disillusioned girl of the
tragic finish, are one and the same.
yet as you live her breath-taking
romance with her, as you see her
pass from sweet innocence and SIM
plicity to hard sophistication and
on to agony and despair and the
bitter end, you realize that you are
witnessing a masterfu performance
by a marvellous artist. From scene
10 scene her beauty and charm
grow upon you. She intrigues you
with the eternal fragrance of youth;
she allures you with dainty sex ap-
peal: she wins you with her Ma
donna like beauty, and she tears
your heart with the tremendous
realism Of her artistry when her gay
little adventure upon the primrose
path leads her down the Road to
Ruin"
Helen Foster is truly a "Girl With
a Thousand Faces" each one more
beautiful and appealing than the
other, and she is a girl who is des-
tined to win a place high UP among
the immortals of the silent drama.
