MRS. ARNOTT IS IN D c TED
 AT ANCHORAGE
Alleged Slayer of Husband Alaska Miner, Given
 AS Hours to Plead

ANCHORAGE, Ala ka, Sept 24
 Mrs. John Arnott has been in- dicted by the Grand Jury for first degree murder for the alleged slay- ing of her husband. She has been allowed 48 hours in which to enter her plea.
 Attorney L. V. Ray, of Seward and A J. Dimond, Of Valdez, have been appointed by the Court to de- fend her.
 Attorney Ray said the case was the most unusual one in his ex- perience on account of the appar- ent absence of a motive and the general demeanor of the defend ant which indicates a mental twist.
 John Arnott was shot and killed in his cabin in the Chitina Dis trict, while he was asleep. His widow was immediately sought and later placed under arrest at Cor dova.
 Arnott was 61 years of age and had followed the mining business in Alaska for the past 25 years. Mrs. Arnott was formerly a nurse of An ortes and Bellingham, Washington. She came north sev- eral years ago and married Arnott.

PANCBORN AND HERND0N MAY
 FLY TO TEXAS
Two, Pliers Change Plans Because of Seattle
 Prize Conditions

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, ac- cording to nnou n cement from their headquarters here, will at tempt a one stop hop from Japan to Dallas, Texas, if the reported $25 900 offer from Col. Easterwood, of Dallas, can be verified.
 The two fliers will attempt this flight in view of the refusal of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to alter the terms for prize of $25,- GOO for flight from Tokyo to Be- attle. The Seattle prize requires that the start must be made from Tokyo which the packers of Fang born and Herndon say is impossible because there is no field there long enough for heavily fueled plane to make a takeoff.
 The packers of the two fliers claim the Seattle offer is safe" because none can compete for it because of the Tokyo conditions,

 North American lost four points
 Losses also appeared for United States Steel, Eastman and Allied Chemicals.
 The rate for bankers acceptance which increased one-eighth of one percent yesterday gained one-quar- ter of one percent today. The re- action to some degree reflected profit taking and renewed beal pressure.

Parties GTd for Congress
 Supremacy Fight; Seperal
 ButtIes Are NOlU Predicted
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, D C., Sept. 24.-
 Members of the Seventy-Second
 Congress already are sounding the call to arms for the legislative bat tie of the century"
 Preliminary political skirmishes, legislative trumpetings, pledges and challenges promise fierce fighting on capitol hill from early in Dec ember up to the presidential cam paigning days of next summer. The current Senate lineup shows 48 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and one Farmer Labor a The House
 standing is PA Republicans, PIP Democrats, one Farmer Labor and eight vacancies.
 Organization of both houses now hangs in the balance-with deaths, the outcome of vacancy elections and the possible bolt of disgrun- tied members capable of swinging it from one party to the other.
 Real control of Congress by eith- CT party is considered improbable, making coalitions necessary for car rying through any program of leg , islation.
 Yet clamor for legislation is heard from nearly all points of the compass.
 The demands for Congressional action to succor ailing agriculture and depression-p -pinched citizens and to care for large national deficit range from proposals for taxes on marshmalloW sundaes and the le- galizing of beer to pleas for billions of dollars for jobless relief and a
 moratorium on farm debts. Before the big battle over relief begins, some furious fighting is ex- pected among intra-party factions ], over nominations for Senate and House leadershi pand committee chairmanships as well as between ' the two parties for organization of
 both houses.
 Fight Over Speakership Conspicuous among these skirm- ishes is the contest for the Repub-
 lican nomination for Speaker of
 the House Representative Tilson of Connecticut and Representative
 Shell of New York are two who

AMER. FARMER WELL STOCKED
 WITH SUPPLIES
Record Breaking Storing and Canning Make
 Full Larders
NATIONAL SURVEY
 BRINGS OUT FACTS
States Take Surplus Stocks, Store Them, for Needy
 During Winter

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-(Copy- lighted by Associated Pre- ss)- Record breaking storing and can ming activities have placed the American farmers in better posi- tion than in many years, to face the winter, as far as food is con- cerned.
 This is revealed by the comple- tion of National survey made by The Associated Press.
 The survey shows, that with un- precedented foresight, farmers in general began months ago to pre- pare for a hard winter and now have foodstuffs in their cellars, storage houses or on the pantry shelves to last until next Spring
 Farmers, in some instances, wear patches on their trousers, but they will have full larders for their fam flies.
 Many schemes were effected to take the surplus crops off the hands of the farmers and can them for distribution to the needy later.
 The Penitentiary in Washington State has charge of canning there
 Community ce liars where the farmers deliver surplus crops for distribution to the needy have been established or planned in Wash . .~l xIyx,0,,,iyo
 Washington State reports show farmers and farm 1aborers haVs assured their families of food un- til Spring by bartering in produce
 The survey made by the Associat- ed Press shows many states had more garden crops planned for this season than ever before and farm CTS and their families practically have all their winter requirements

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 24.- Randolph field, Uncle Sans "West Point of the air." soon will begin te train it's first class of flying ca dets.
 Final touches are being put or the aviation city" which now is ready to begin its work.
 Streets radiating from the center of the fields building area are be- ing paved. Parks and lawns, all spreading fanlike from the Avia- tion club building in the middle cir cle are being improved.
 Many of the 298 buildings under contract, have been completed and accepted by the government, and the rest now are being finished
 The chart in the office of Capt. A. w. Parker, construction quar- termaster, shows the project more than 90 percent completed.
 Prepare for Classes
 Before October l the first unit will report for training. Under present plans 1t will consist eff41oO newly commissioned officers from the 1881 class at the United States Military academy. Then about Mo- vember l a primary class of 160 flying cadets will start it's course.
 Randolph field, about 2,20O acres in extent, is described as the great est peacetime project ever under taken by the federal government, with the exception of the Panama canal
 Buildings and equipment already provided or under contract have cost nearly $l0,000000. Captain Parker says, and the total outlay under an expansion program is es- timated at $5O,000,O00.
 The field is a city in itself. The personnel will number 1,7OO though eventually there are expected to be $50 officers, 500 flying cadets, and 2,000 enlisted men, who with their families will swell the popula- tion to between 4,000 and 5000
 Something New in Design
 Its design is a departure from the usual fashion of air corps posts in that all activities radiate from the center, other fields having hangars, shops. and quarters along one edge of the landing area
 In present form the flying city comprises two units of a complete plan which embraces an additional unit for carrying on advanced fly ing training now given at Kelly field, Texas.
 Activities of two primary flying schools, Brooks field, Texas, and March field, California, will be centered at Randolph field and the complete air corps training pro- gram transferred only if operation shows that there is lair room" for advanced students as well.
 Spanish Type Buildings
 Buildings are of Spanish Mission style of architecture, constructed of hollow tile faced with stucco, and include an officers club, ad- ministration building, houses and barracks for all personnel shops, hangars, a hospital, and school of aviation medicine.
 Randolph field is Is miles from San Antonio. The site was select ed by army leaders for the central air training school because of the large expanse of level, easily drain ed land, comparatively free from fog and low-hanging clouds, and favorable year r-around climatic con- ditions.
 The city of San Antonio acquir- ed the desired tract at a cost of $500,000 and presented it to the army.
