Young Buffalo Matron in
Critical Condition After

BUFFALO, N. Y, July "A game
of "tag" for grownups and a childS
f1recracker were responsible for
Fourth of July injuries to three per-
sons before the day had dawned.
Mrs. Brunna Nazzobeo, %, was in
critical condition at city hospital
today from a bullet wound which
police said was inflicted accidentally
while she was participating in a
holiday eve party at her home.
Guests at the party, police said,
we're playing tag, when Hugo A.
Venelli, 43, an electrical contractor,
pointed pistol at Mrs. Nazzobeo,
who was "it," cried, Nov I'll stop
you," and pulled the trigger. Mrs.
Nazzobeo was wounded in her right
breast.
Vanelli told police he believed the
pistol was loaded with blank Cart
ridges, and no charge was placed
against him.

GRAIN DEALERS HIT
BY FEDERAL BOARD
Old Feud Flares Up as
Y Stone HurIs Charges
at Group.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The old
feud between the grain trade and
the federal farm board has flared
up again. This time the break
brings a definite end to hopes by
the board that under it's new chair
man a better feeling could be de-
veloped on both sides.
Clashes between the board and
the grain traders were frequent
when Alexander Legge was chair
man. His attacks upon the traders,
couched in his picturesque language,
were vigorous and pointed.
When James G. Stone, handsome,
good-natured Kentuckian, became
chairman, it appeared there would
be change. Stone was known to
believe that the traders, many of
whom he knew and liked personally,
could not be quite as bad as Legge's
harsh language would indicate.
Stone has taken some time to
change his mind, but now he has
lashed out with the charge that
the traders are trying to wreck the
board, that they exert pressure in
tended to embarraS the board, and
that the traders are attempting, for
their own ends, to keep the farmers
from organizing.
In order to discredit the board,
Stone said, the traders are trying
to turn against the board the very
farmers whom the board sought
to help.

Becomes Part of Veterans
Administration as New
Year Opens.

By Scripps-H otoard NetospGper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The an

as a part Of the war department,
and since 1s43 a part of the de-
partment Of the interior-becomeS
the pension service of the veterans
administration with the beginning
of the new fiscal year.
Sentiment attaches to the passing
of the pension bureau, not only
among it's 632 employees Gall but
eighty in Washington, but among
the hundreds of thousands of men
and women who, through the bu-
reau, have received the gratitude
of the republic in the form of PEN
sion checks.
Links Past, Present
Since 1870, the bureau and the
agencies that preceded it in this
field, had paid out to the veterans
Of all wars, their widows, and other
pensioners, $8,292, ,558,473.
Its day-by-day routine links the
present with the distant past. 1t
still pays pensions to seven widows
and one daughter of men who
fought in the War of 1912. Up to
less than two years ago it was pay
ing a pension to Owen Thomas
Edgar, last survivor Of the war with
Mexico. Until 1906 it paid a pension
to the widow of a soldier Of the
revolution.
Numbers DwindIe
Thirty years ago the pension bu-
reau was sending monthly checks to
745,O0O veterans OF the Civil war.
Today these venerable former SOL
diers are down to 10000, and are
dying at the rate of more than 1000
a month. Pensioned widows of
Civil war veterans also are decreas-

Proposal to establish a national

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-Speak-
ing in independence hall, birth
place of the American system of
government, Secretary Patrick j.
Hurley today assailed disciples of
socialism and bureaucracy and
warned against further extensions
of the federal governments power.
While praising the political and
social system erected by such men
as Washington and Jefferson, Hur-
ley. said the depression had "indi-
Gated to us the necessity of i'm
proving our economic system by
providing for a greater and more
equitable distribution of wealth"
Hurley criticised those who look
TO the federal government to per-
form the duties of states and mu-
inequalities, referring indirectly to
the recent arrest by government
agents Of the Chicago gangster, Al
Caponet
Sarcasm for Chicago
I'm some quarters" he said, 80
complete is the breakdown of local
elf-government that for years it
was found no vulnerable spot in
the armor Of super-bandit who
threatens the lives and property of
the citizens until finally the ma
tional government must strike him
in his Achilles heel of income tax
evasion. He is but one Of many
who have successfully challenged
the authority of local government" :"
Near Hurley as he spoke was the
Liberty bell, which pealed the news
that the Declaration of Independ-
ence had been signed. He painted a
word-picture of the signing of the
declaration more than q century
and half ago by men who were
we'll aware they might be executed
for treaso nif their cause failed.
Hurley emphasized the desire of
the founding fathers" particularly
Thomas jefferson, to preserve
states rights and prevent the fed
eral governments encroachment on
individual liberty.
Slaps at Democrats.
"Yet today" he said, 1--WE have
many proclaimed heirs of
Thomas jefferson selling upon the
opportunity of difficult times to
push their schemes for further ex-
tension of the power of the federal
government. Where Jefferson did
his utmost to free us from the tyr
any of the crown, they are striving
their utmost to subject us to the
autocracy Of constantly growing
bureaucracy"
During the last session of con-
gress many Democrats fought for
direct federal aid to the unem-
ployed.
Advocates of bureaucracy. Hur-
ley continued, would deprive the
thrifty and intelligent of the right
to win by their own fair efforts the
rewards that never can come to the
lazy and incapable"
Hurley said there already is a
federal bureaucracy Of we'll over
100000 persons in Washington.
In opposing so-called federal
aid" Hurley ironically noted:
"The lone eagle sped across the
Atlantic to Paris, and Post and
Gatty just have completed their
amazing circumnavigation of the
globe without a federal subsidy"

Easily Frightened by Men,
But She Does Every
Stunt Known.
BY HELEN WELSHIMER
NEA Service Writer

CLEVELAND, o., July "A slim,
blue-eyed girl of 10 who admits that
boys frighten her much more than
turning somersaults in the air, Is
the new queen of Americas woman
stunt fliers.
She is Dorothy Hester Of Port
land, Ore, who-after only little
more than a years experience with
airplanes-now performs practi-
cally every stunt known to the
most daring men pilots, plus a few
Of her own.
For this reason she has just been
signed as a featured performer at
the National Air Races in Cleveland
in August, the first woman ever
given such a contract.
In Dorothy'S catalog Of air
thrillers are thirty-six death -defying
stunts, nineteen of which are per-
formed while she is flying upside
down.
Holds World Record
Moreover, she holds the worlds
record for women making outside
loops-ayiation's most dangerous
feat-having made 81 in rapid sue
cession at Omaha recently. She also
holds the record for the inverted
barrel roll, with Sc consecutive rolls
Only one f1ier has made more
consecutive outside loops than Dor
othy and he is Tex Rankin, fa-
nous Pacific coast pilot and her in
structor.
Rankin set the worlds record by
making 70 of these headlong dives
under full power of a roaring mo-
tor-but his head swan and his nose
bled for a week after he did it.
"iShe is" says Rankin, "unqueS-
tionably one of the greatest pilots
man or woman-I have ever seen.
That a slender, 19-year- girl can
handle an airplane in this manner
proves clearly that lots of people
could fly if they would only try ii" j"
Courage Won for Her
Dorothy'S story is that of mod
ern girl who knew what she want
ed and had the courage to go out
and get it. Strangely enough, she
once planned to become a nun, but
that idea faded quickly when her
ambition turned to aviation.
"I was a student in girls
school," she begins. Zone day a
neighb6r, riding with me on a
street car, asked me if had ever
flown. I told her no, but that set
me to thinking. I decided to take
an airplane ride"
Dorothy hurried home, borrowed
the necessary money and went out
to Tex Rankin'S aviation school to
make a flight. AS soon as she
looked down on the housetops from
above she made up her mind.
She would be flier!
Studied and TOiled
For year, the girl studied ground
courses at a night school, travelling
eight miles to the field and eight
miles home again. In the daytime,
she worked as an inspector in a
woolen mill.
A regular flying course cost $500,
and when Dorothy completed her
ground work she had only 500. 1t
was enough to give her the air once
a week for short time. Every Sun
day morning she went to church.
Then she went to the flying field for
a f1fteen-minute lesson.

LATIN DIVISION

Possibility Of a merger Of the
