BIZ United Press
VENICE, Cal, March IA
' garage tool five feet long and
weighing twenty-five pounds was
used successfully here in an op-
Grafton on the eye of John Helm,

huge tool and shipped the barb
of the fiShhook.
Then the doctor easily pulled
the hook from Helms eyelid and

TOWN TACTICS DRAW
PROTEST FROM WOMAN
MOtorist Says Police Told Her
Maybe They Had a Grudge."

Maybe they had a grudge against
you,' is the reply which Miss Mar
jorie Smith, 1922 North Illinois street,
said she received at police head
quarters Friday when she protested
against impounding of her auto
mobile.
Miss Smith said she double parked
on Pennsylvania street opposite the
postofflce and went into the build
ing to purchase stamp.
She estimates she was away from
the car one and one-half to two
minutes and was outside of the
building on her return when she
notice preparations to take the
car.
She protested, but was forced to
pay the customary fee at a garage.
She asserts one car was double
parked ahead of hers, another be-
hind and third was in a nearby
safety zone.
Miss Smith said she is unable to
understand why police should have
"grudge" against her, as she has
been in Indianapolis only a month.

FARM BOARD is
LIKELY TO FEEL
SENATE WRATH
Agreement to Consider 3
Nominations Opens Way
for Thorough Inquiry.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March I2.-Sen-
ate wrath was loosed against the
farm board and the Hoover farm
relief program in general today. I'M
der an agreement to consider nomi-
nations of three board members.
The nomination of Frank Evans.
Utah; William F. Schilling. Min
nesota, and Sam H. Thompson, Hi
nois, have been pending for weeks.
All three are functioning as board
members, because they were ap-
pointed during a recess.
But it has been the Senate'S pleas
ure to postpone confirmation for a
bit-"to let them sweat a while
as one senator expressed it.
Administration leaders are conf
dent the three will be confirmed.
Protests of the agricultural west
are less against the personnel of the
board than against its policies.
which tends to confuse some OBJ
servers, because it was congress it
self which created the board, and
outlined what its policies should De.
The debate today is a prelude to
more serious business. Senator
George w. Norris (Rep.. Neb), has
obtained approval of the agriculture
committee for a thorough investiga-
ton of the board, and of the grain
and cotton trades.
Senate oripi011 inclinaS n tho ha
lief that the investigation reSolu-
ton will be approved. It would Gre
ate an opportunity for revival of
the whole farm relief discussion. in
Guiding the equalization fee. the ex-
port debenture and unqualified fed
eral price fixing of farm products.
1t would lead, also. to an attempt
to modify, perhaps abolish, the farm
board.

by the huge catch, the men hired

Reputation of a portion of the
bonded Indebtedness of the Imper-

ton of the tax strike and recall
measures against the present dis
trict board of directors were coun-
selled at q mass meeting at the

persons, made up of farmers and
those drawn merely by curiosity.
Suggestions for recall elections
seemed to derive little support from
members of the Committee of Is.
T. D. Mccall, in speaking of a re-
call, said such a measure would be
defeated by voters who are not
property owners. Previously Sam
Robinson, state assemblyman, had
voiced a stand in favor of property
qualifications for district voters.
F. w. Greer, in a fiery speech,
declared he was only allowed one
minute at the last mass meeting,

RELIEF MEASURE
GOES TO HOUSE
FROM SENATE
LaGuardia Planning Move
To Override Possible
Veto By Hoover.

WASHINGTON, June "a. U.P)-
The two billion dollar unemploy-
ment relief program switched back
to the house today, with progress
sives organizing to forestall any
possibility of the measure being
killed by presidential veto after
adjournment of congress.
The $2,300,000 600 relief bill passed
by the senate was to be formally
received and rejected by the house
Speaker Garner then was ready to
appoint conferees to adjust the
senate bill with his own $2,291, ,000,-
900 relief program adopted by the
house.
Possibility of a veto lies in the
fact the bill in its final form is
certain to include federal bond
issue for public works, proposal
which President Hoover has OPP
posed. The senate bill provides q
$500000,000 bond issue and the
Garner program a S1,191 100000 is
sue.
If congress passed the bill ir
final form, cleaned up it's other
work and adjourned next week, Mr.
Hoover conceivably might kill the
relief program simply by pocket
veto" Rep. LaGuardia (Rep0 New
York, insurgent leader, claimed
however, he had sufficient votes tc
prevent adjournment before the
President acts on the bill. If Mr.
Hoover disapproved the measure
congress then would be in position
to override his veto.
Senate leaders hoped to Obtain
final approval of the $150000,0 ,00
federal economy bill today, although
two controversies developed. Ont
of the disputed items providing
that when dismissals are necessary
the first to be laid off shall be
wives whose husbands also are EN-
ployed by the government. Senator
Reed (Rep) Pennsylvania, declared
this would break up families.
AS soon as the economy bill is
acted upon, the senate is scheduled
to take up the Halves Cutting bill
under which the Philippine Islands
would be granted independence in
10 years.

BELIEVE SERUM
MAY SAVE LIFE
TN POISON CASE

BERKELEY, June "a. W.P)-Poss
sibility that injection of a goat
serum may cause Berkeley youth
to recover from a severe form of
blood poisoning had led scientists
to hope that septicemia may be
eliminated from the ranks of in
durable diseases.
The serum, developed by immun-
izing a goat from the bacteria
through a secret process, is being
administered to Fred Daugherty,
rs, who was stricken with blood
poisoning several weeks ago. Al
though physicians in attendance
said it would be several days bes
fore they could determine if the
experiment would be successful, the
youths mother, Mrs. A. F. Daugh-
erty, declared her son had shown
marked improvement.
DR.. w. II. Streitmann of Oakland
who saw the serum work success
fully during test at the Universi-
ty of Cincinnati Medical college a
month ago, had a supply of 1t
rushed here by airplane. If it cures
Daugherty, science will have taken
another important step in its fight
to eliminate incurable diseases.
The youth suffered from strep-
tococci hemlyticum, on of 110
known forms of septicemia, accord
