WASHINGTON, April 26. -<U.R
The whole weight of the admin
istration, with its power to punish
its enemies and reward its friends,
was thron today into the senate
breach over tho nomination of
Judge John j. Parker, southern re-
publican, to the United States Sill

While Republican leaders were

COR0NER'S JURY
FIXES BLAME in
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Mrs. Post Named AS Slay-
er Of Close Friend Be-
cause OF Jealousy

LAGUNA BEACH, Calf, April
26. W.D - A tragedy interwoven
with the social and theatrical ac-
tivites of this artists colony
brought separate funeral services to-
day for once brilliant actress who
lived among past glorics and young
artist-divorcee whose popularity was
at its height.
Services were held here for Mrs.
Guy Patcs Post, 50, who, coroner S
jury decided, took her own life after
shooting to death in jealous mo-
ment, her constant companion, Mrs.
Doris Murray Palmer, SO.
While the jury's verdict did not
inquire at length into the motive
of Thursdays shooting, it labeled
the affair definitely murder and sui
eide with the weapon in the hand Of
Mrs. Post, divorced wife of the
noted actor.
Together so often in life, the four
shots fired by Mrs. Post estranged
her from Mrs. Palmer in death. Rel
atives and friends making separate
arrangements, had rites for each set
at different hours late today. Inter
mcnt of each probably will be at
Forest Lawn, Glendale.
IN reconstructing the scene of the
double tragedy, he investigators
held to the early theory that Mrs.
Palmer was shot as she started for
the door to attend a luncheon
against the wishes of Mrs. Post.
Four shots were fired. One struck
the pretty divorcee in the head,
another in the back.
The third bullet missed and the
fourth ended the life of Mrs. Post
when she realized the horror of her
deed, authorities decided.
Waited Two Hours
1t was believed that Mrs. Post
was beside the body of her friend
during the moments of anguish
which followed the shooting, chatting
her wrists and probably bathing the
wounds.
Then she went into the kitchen
and washed her hands. Blood stains
in the kitchen sink showed that Mrs.
Post had touched the body of the
slain woman.
Mrs. Post paced tic dirt road
along which other bungalows stood
at intervals, probably for two hours.
Then, it was belic'ed, she returned
to her own house and in IA room ad-
Joining that in which the body o.
Mrs. Palmer lay, sent bullet
through her own head.
Mrs. Palmer was one of the most
popular women il the artists colo
nv and was considered the most
beautiful in that brilliant circle. She
and Mrs. Post Lad been friends for
three months.
1t was believed their first quar-
rels grew out of the appointment or
Mrs. Palmer to paint scenery FOR
minstrel show. Mrs. Post was not
selected to direct the performance
as she had desired.

NEW GROUND FOR
AIR MANEUVERS

BURBANK, Calf, April 26. WP)
dropping down from the sky in
precise military ranks, more than
$50 planes of the army air corps
were lined up at the United Airport
here today ready for a demonstra-
tion of war above the earth.
The battalion of ships came in
from March Field, at Riverside,
where they had stopped after a
week of military maneuvers over
various northern California cities.
Heading the huge movement of
fighting craft into Burbank were 81
Boeing and Curtiss single leseatcd
pursuit planes whose antics furnish
the thrills in the army's air spec
taclc.
Behind them, cumbersome but
flying with deadly evenness, came
the huge Curtiss and keystone
bombers, 26 in all, followed by 2S
Curtiss attack planes, squad of
Douglas observers, seven tri-motor-
ed transports and 20 miscellaneous
staff ships.
AS the pilots lunchcd, mechanics
gave the fleet final check in pre-.
paration for the late afternoons
spectacular maneuvers, to be wit
messed by an anticipated crowd of
100000 persons.
The first tier of planes was to
roar into the air at 2 p. m. Half
an hour later the entire force, from
giant bombers to swift little pur-
suit ships, was scheduled to sweep
down in front of the reviewing
stands, the lead planes flying with

Then for an hour and half the
squadron planned to thrill specta-
tors with all the thrilling stunts of

the tactics of defending fleet.

Los Angeles and vicinity had tho

giant bombers, brilliantly lighted

more.
At intervals. specially prepared
parachute flares were released to
illuminate a wide area below, which
in wartime would be target for
devastating bombs.
