BLIND MAN MARVELS AT WORLD
WHEN SIGHT is RECLAIMED

CHICAGO, June 27. W.P-A
man who battled his way to
fortune despite his blindness,
looked today upon a world
which he had not seen for 80
years and pronounced it good
but different.
"Only the flowers and trees
are the same" said j. F. Fish,
wealthy Chicagoan, whose sight
miraculously was restored in
the left eye as he sat in the
twilight listening to his wife
read.
II always have thought of
the women as wearing bustles
and trailing skirts" he said.
THE men, when I last saw
them, had mustaches and side
burns. Always I pictured the

Supreme Court Reviews
Case Involving N o t e d
Labor Prisoner.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 81. U.P)
Probability that Tom Mooney and
Warren X. Billings will walk to
freedom within n month was estab-
lished today by the United Press
from sources close to Governor {.
G. Young.
Mooney and Billings arc now scrv
ing their 18th year III prison for
pcrpetrating the Preparedness Day
bombing in San Francisco in July
of 1916.
Six persons were killed outright
in the explosion. Three died later.
Forty Were wounded.
The state supreme court is now
sitting as n board of review in the
Billings ease. From an authorita.
tive source, the United Press learned
definitely that Governor Young is
making his plans for issuance Of the
orders which will free both Mooney
and Billings almost Immediately, in
the event of Il favorable rccommen-
dation by the court.
The Supreme Court decision is ex-
.pcted within a matter of days now,
and il was Indicated today in off
cial circles that action by the gov
ernor confirming the recommenda-
tion will follow Immediately.
The Billings case is the only one
before the Supreme Court. Cover
nor Young, however, has announced
that he considers Mooney and Bill
ings to be on the same footing, and
whatever decision is made as a re.
suit of the Billings review will also
be applied to Mooney.

this source to hold the belief that

His inclination to pardon the

HOOVER GAINS
new HELP FOR
VETERAN Bill

WASHINGTON, June 81. U.p)-
While the senate was preparing to
sponsor new veterans pension
bill, two developments today swung
the power of administration sup
port to the Johnson compromise
measure passed yesterday by the
house.
First Majority Floor Leader Wat
son brought word from the White
House that President Hoover favors
the house measure. Later Director
Frank Il. Hines, of the Veterans
Bureau, testified in a secret session
of the senate finance committee
that he preferred the house bill.
These developments halted, tenn
porarily at least, the proposed plan
of the finance committee to report
the Walsh -Connally bill which
raised the disability allowances of
the Johnson bill from $12 to $40
to $50 and $50 month.
The committee decided to hear
also in executive session, the legis-
lative agent of the American Leg
ion, John Thomas Taylor.
All hope of getting a bill before
the senate today was abandoned.
The committee planned to sit all
day. 1t probably will report a
measure for consideration tomor-
row.
Watson predicted he would be
able TO swing a majority Of the
committee in favor of the bill the
President wants. He said a vote
would be taken by the committee
late today.
Sponsors of the Walsh .Connally
substitute profess to be equally
certain they have a majority of
the committee.

PLAN EXTENSIVE
SEARCH TO FIND
MISSING FLYER

CEDAR CITY, Utah, June 81
W.P)-lf an unorganized search of
the mountains south of here fails
to reveal Maury Graham, missing
airmail pilot, or his body, e syste-
matte hunt, planned to cover every
square yard of rough country for
miles, will be launched. according
to Jimmy James, Western Air EX'
press pilot and one of Graham's 5
buddics.
Hope of discovering the missing
pilot was heightened with the find
ing yesterday of an abandoned
cabin more than two miles from the
wrecked plane. 1t showed evidence
of having been lived in for Il short
time during the winter, and search
ers believed Graham had stayed
there for few days. Many plan
ned to make the cabin u central
point for searching expeditions.
The hunt for the missing airman
threatened to stretch into weeks or
months. Sheriff j. T. Leigh said
he thought Graham's discovery
would be matter of mere luck OF
chance.
The Western Air Express pilot
disappeared last January IL while
ON regular flight between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake. Widespread
searches failed to reveal any def
mite trace of his plane until few
days ago, when two young sheep
herders stumbled upon the wrecked
ship. Graham had apparently left
the plane, attempting to fight
rough deep snow to civilization, and
it was feared that he died in q
blizzard that ragged through this
section for several days after ho
disappeared.

STK|KE OF 100000
LOOMS IN BRITAIN
Mcdonald Aids Bosses
in Wage-Cutting

LONDON, April s.-Delegates
representing 10000 British wooler
workers met today on the question
of calling a strike against the wage
cuts proposed by the Bradford Mil
Owners, and backed by the Mac
Donald "labor" government.
Originally the mill owners tried
to fasten a ten per cent wage cut
against the workers. The workers
voted against any wage cuts.
The Macdonald government ap-
pointed a commission to "study the
question" This commission recon-.
mended a five per cent wage cut
which the workers have so far re.
fused to accept.
The wage cut threat against the
10000 wool workers is one of g
long series which have been sup
ported by the Macdonald outfit.
In every attack on the workers
in the coal, textile and other indus
tries, and against the growing army
of unemployed, the Macdonald gov
eminent has taken the lead part in
unity with the bosses.
