 Tn backing the fee, Young re- vived a plan vetoed by President Calvin Coolidge and rejected by both President Hoover and smith l in the 1928 campaign. It also marked the initial introduction of l the issue into the present presi- dentiai campaign. Young's statement on the equali- zatlon fee on wheat said: "The experiment with the equalization fee on wheat believe worth making In the interest of the l farmers. If successful there, 1t can be extended by experience to other agricultural commodities. In any event, all agricultural products should feel quickly the restoration of confidence and buying power which Senator Robinson visualizes as a result of his plan"
 In his comment on the Robin son plan, Young said that 1t seemed "The first comprehensive program which has been offered to correct our present situation.p &stVAtVAttAG3 0VN0AbhAthVttt WY eration and heavy taxes to balance a budget can, and l think will, be faced with much greater courage and confidence when they are Q part of program which contem- plates the relief of suffering, af- firmativeIy putting men back to work and starting business in ma teriais."
 The Smith statement said:
 T first suggested this (the Robinson plan) at a Jackson day dinner on the eighth of January when the national committee was in session at Washington. On the 14th of February, I definitely recommended just what Senator Robinson offered as q program"
 smith continued with an outline of his proposals which included the setting up of a public works administration operating with a "pronsSpSerity "pr nSpS bond issue of ss'ooo'-
 Powerful support
 Washington, May t2-(UP)-- Powerful support for tho unen- nloyment relief program sponsored by Senator Robinson, democrat. Ark, developed to-day in the house, with Majority Leader Rainey fav- bring the proposal.
 Ralney said that the budget "must be really balanced" before the government can safely under take floating the s2300. 100, 900 bond issue suggested by the sen- ate democratic leader.
 Robinson would make $2,000,- 900, 900 available for great public works program, with $300,- 100000 allotted for direct relief.
 "The real work of the congress remains to bc done" Rainey said, land that is balancing the budget and unemployment relief.

 Food and fuel were low as con- sequence yesterday when 1t was de- cided to stop an hour or so to re- plenfsh the gasoline tanks, only one-sixth full, and take on pro- visions for the crew of so.
 Rain, lightning and sand storms persisted as the Akron fought its way westward Tuesday night near Fl Paso.
 Finaly, zig zaggIng in the storm, the Akron was brought through and encountered favorable weather as it crossed the last two states of it's first transcoptinental Journey.
 Over Camp Kearney, 14 miles from here, two officers descended in ono of the two tiny airpianes which the Akron carries, prepared to superintend the mooring opera tons.
 After the tragic fourth attempt to moor the Akron was sent sky- ward to finger in the clouds and fog until the ground temperature and weather should be favorable for q successful landing.
 Shortly after 6 D. m. the Akron was brought to earth, safely moored and made fast.
 During the night food and fuel was put aboard. After mooring at Sunnyvale the Akron again will turn southward to join the combin- cd Pacific and Atlantic fleets in maneuvers before returning east.
 The fleet prepared to leave San Francisco Bay today after an 1s- day visit, to resume its war maneu- vcrs.
 Shortly before tho combined fleets weighed anchor Admiral Frank H. Schoneld cancelled the order calling for the navy dirIgiblo Akron to take part in tho battle practice.
 The dirigible tender Patoka, equipped with n mooring mast, will be left behind by the fleet to stand by for the Akron.

 The second fire he said was in a three family unoccupied house on Willow street, across from St Mar garet's church during the winter of 1881. He said he set the fire with paper and matches.

 The accused was held without ball and was to be arraigned today on charge of arson arising from the Bronx fire. He was employed as handyman at the Academy and had been q student there for three years, police officials said.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

Evening jewelry hasn't
changed startlingly. It still
glitters and lends sparkle to
your appearance, but there are
little changes that will keep
your last years costume pieces
from looking really new, and
that will tempt you to buy a
new matched set, or at least
a piece or two to add to your
collection. And this year it's
so inexpensive that you can
pick UP a few pieces at almost
no cost. The limitations Of
real jewelry are so cleverly done
that it takes close examination
to tell the difference, and you're
quite safe in wearing them in
artificiel light.
Onyx Is Smart
There are many more COM
binations Of colored stones with
rhinestones than there are
pieces made Of rhineStoneS
alone. The idea Of color con-
trast is carried even to our
necklaces and bracelets. Ruby,
emerald, sapphire and onyx are
combined with diamonds in real
jewelry, and good limitations of
them are used in the same de-
signs, combined with rhine
stones. There seems to be a
trend toward smaller pieces,
delicate pendants on a slender
chain Of stones, slender brace
lets, shower earrings, but made
of mere fronds Of stones, rather
than massive pieces. You may
wear more bracelets than you
did last winter, and you prob
ably will, but they will be
smaller.
Necklace Shorter
Because necklines Of evening
gowns are higher in front,
necklaces are smaller and
shorter, and in many cases are
not worn at all. That means
more and more bracelets, and
usually earrings. Bracelets may
be flexible or bangle types,
as they are about equally popu-
