To SHUN
c. D. P. NEE!

Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho announced today that he
is not going to attend the Repub-
hcan convention in Chicago next
month and he strongly intimated
that he expects to take no part
in the ensuing Republican cam
paign.
The news created first class
political sensation in the Capital,
for it had been thought that the
Idahoan would go to Chicago to
lead the dry fight against includ-
ing in the Republican platform
a resubmission plank which most
Republican leaders now favor.
The relations between Senator
Borah and President Hoover
have been extremely cool for
months. Rarely is the Idahoan
at the White House these days.
To his intimate friends, Borah
makes no secret Of his "disap-
pointment" with the man whom
he labored so hard for in the
campaign Of 1928.

JOBLESS
Asks 81 500, 100000 to Build
Public Works; No U. S.
Bonds Necessary

A bill authorizing the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
tion to issue $1,500,0O0,000 in
debentures to finance self
liquidating construction pro
jects "of national character"
as a means of affording unem-
ployment relief was introduced
in the Senate today by Senator
Barbour (R.) of New Jersey
The proposal was in line with
President Hoover's idea Of au
thorizing only such construction
at this time as could pay for
itself out Of earnings, such as
toll bridges. tunnels, highways
etc.
Senator Barbour said:
"The purpose of my bill is
to create a large works pro-
gram through Government
credit without the issuance Of
any q d ditiOnal | Government
bonds and to promote immedi-
ate employment in connection
with self-liquidating projects on
financial basis, which will not
cause any currency initiation
or create any additional tax
alton.
Each project would be ap-
proved by the corporation as
to its economic desirability and
its ability to become Self-Iiqui-
dating within a reasonable
time. 1t is provided that q
3O-hOur week be established ON
projects financed by my bill
in the interest of increasing
the number of individuals to
be employed.

may participate by subscribing

and receiving a half interest in
the project with the right to
purchase the other half in

KILLS
2.75 BEER
BILL
Defeat Was Foreseen But
Vote Publicly Records
Members Views

Dry forces won another tilt
today when the House re-
jected the O'Connor-W. E.
Hull 2.75 per cent beer bill.
The vote, however, served
the purpose of anti-prohibition
leaders to put every member
seeking reelection next fall
squarely on record on the wet
and dry issue.
While the first roll-cau in the
House on modification Of the
Volstead act since its adoption
came merely on a motion to dis
charge the ways and Means Com
mittee and permit consideration
Of the beer bill in the House, it
was accepted on all sides as a
clean-cut test.
20 Minutes Of Debate
The vote was made possible
by leaders of the Republican and
Democratic "wet blocs" obtaining
las signatures to a petition
which gave them the right to call
up the discharge motion in the
House.
With the political fortunes Of
many members pressed in the
fall elections dangling on the
vote, the House was grim and
calm during the roll-call. But
20 minutes of debate preceded
the roll-call.
A brief but furious battle was
opened after Speaker Garner had
overruled a point of order made
by Representative Blanton CD
Of Texas that the motion to dis
charge the Ways and Means Com
mittee from further considera-
ton of the bill was out of order.
Blanton argued that the dis
charge rule, under which 145
members can force a bill out of
committee, should not be in
voked to force a test vote on
beer, since it was used March II
to force a vote on the Beck
Linthicum resolution for reSub-
mission of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Two Different Questions
Garner declared, however, that
repeal Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment is one question and a vote
to modify the Volstead act is
another"
Loud hdxahs greeted Repre-
sentative LaGuardia (R) of New
York when he declared:
"ThiS is a chance to balance
the budget. If you want to bal
ance it and not merely render
lip service, vote for this bill"

With Melons Daughter

LONDON, May % (I.N.S.).
With the same wholehearted-
ness that characterized her
record breaking solo flight
across the Atlantic, Mrs.
Amelia Earhart Putnam gave
way to a purely feminine inn
pulse today and plunged into
an orgy of shopping.
Gay and smiling, she emerged
from one of London's largest de-
partment stores shortly. before
noon, with her flying togs-the
only clothing she carried on her
flight from Harbor Grace to
CuImore. northern IreIand-re-
placed by a wardrobe fit for a
princess.
Buys Dozen Gowns
In two and one-half hours Of
intensive shopping, she bought
more than y dozen morning,
afternoon and evening gowns, a
number of modish tweed and
homespun suits of English cut
shoes, hats, and the inevitable
lingerie.
She made no secret Of her re-
lief over being able to discard
the borrowed clothing she has
worn since a short while after
she set her failing plane down on
an Irish pasture near London
derry after what is hailed as the
most magnificent flight ever
achieved by a woman.
Mrs. Putnam had the diStinc-
ton of being assisted in her shop
ping by Gordon Selfridge, Ameri-
can-born proprietor of the depart
ment store. Selfridge's daughter,
the VicomteSse de Sibour, is an
enthusiastic airwoman herself,
and she and Mrs. Putnam have
met on frequent occasions.
Wins London Applause
The trip from the American
embassy, where Mrs. Putnam is
staying as an honored guest, and
back again was triumphant pro-
cession for the daring aviatrix,
who for the second time in her
life has taken London by storm.
Mrs. Putnam chose a nom
alcoholic "tonic water at "a
luncheon in her honor given by
the Association of American Cor
respondents today.
The aviatrix sat between United
States Ambassador Andrew. w.
Mellon and Sir John Simon,
British Foreign Secretary,
Sir John Joined Mrs. Putnam
in her choice Of drinks. Anlbas-
sador Mellon, adhering to ''the
customs of the country" had a
whisky and soda.
Ambassador Mellon paid tribute
to Mrs. Putnam, referring to "the
flight Of this courageous young
woman alone across the Atlantic
which thrilled and grjpped the
imagination of the whole world"
Only Is Hours Away
Proposing a toast to the
aviatrix, Ambassador Mellon de-
clared that "the United States
and Great Britain were never
closer than they are today" He
said:
Mrs. Putnam has proved
that Aemrica is only Is hours
away"
Ralph D. Blumenfeld, chairman
Of the board Of the London Daily
Express, called upon the diners
to give the aviatrix "the best
toast that Fleet Street can give" p"
whereupon all sang For She's a
Jolly Good Fellow" and ended
with three cheers and a tiger.

Wants Expense Money and
Bodyguard; Repudiates
Hoax Confession

TRENTON, N. j., May %
.S.).-Edward G. Pender,
counsel for John Hughes
Curtis, indicated today what
line Of defense the Norfolk
ship builder, who hoaxed
Colonel Lindbergh, would take
when he accused State police
Of obtaining Curtis confess
sion by trickery.
Meanwhile, Prosecutor An
thony NJ. Hauck, jr., was go-
ing ahead with his plans to
lay evidence before the Grand
Jury this afternoon or tomor-
row against Curtis for Sac
tivities calculated to obstruct
the administration Of justice. "
Pender said:
"Curtis has told me that he
was tricked into that cOnfeS-
sion by Inspector Harry Walsh,
who himself wrote the cOnfes-
sion. That is obvious, for Cur
tiS never used the kind Of Eng
liSh it contained.
SAY BABY STILL ALIVE
"Chrtis was actually in touch
with those kidnapers. He told
me he could turn them up
within q week If given S1,5OO
expense money and a body
guard"
Pender also made the startling
announcement that both he and
Curtis believed the Lindbergh
baby was still alive and that the
body found two weeks ago and
identified by Colonel Lindbergh,
Betty Cow, and physicians as
the kidnapped child was not the
Lindbergh baby.
Pender indicated Curtis would
repudiate his confession if his
case came to trial, but he ex-
pressed the hope that Colonel
Lindbergh would not prosecute
the Norfolk man.
GURUS heCracCS
Curtis now insists that his first
statements were true in every de-
tail, and that he actually had
been in contact with the kidnap-
ers. He also told Pender that Col
onel Lindbergh himself was con-
vinced that they were on the
right track.
Pender quoted Curtis as saying:
"Why did Colonel Lindbergh
spend a week with me on the
boat if he thought 1 was q
hoax? described the baby to
him perfectly, even to the over
tapping toes"
According to the lawyer, Cur
tis' wife, now in Norfolk, has re-
ceived several threatening letters,
one of which read:
"If your husband squeaIS, you
better say goodbye to your
children"
Pender insisted that reports Of
Curtis attempted suicide were
erroneous. He concluded the

GARNER IDEA

Speaker Garner today refused
to quarrel with President Hoover
over the latter's opposition to
that part of the Garner relief
plan providing for a huge Gov
ernment bond issue to finance
public works. He said:
Gas a matter Of fact, there
is little difference between the
Presidents stand and my own.
He seems to have the Senate
view. I provide q tax to more
than pay the interest and sink
ing fund charges for the bill
lion in bonds propose to is
sue. This is not a charge
against the budget. 1t would
help to balance it.
"It is very gratifying that
the President agrees with that
part of my relief plan prOvid-
ing for broadening the credit
base of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, taking the
bride off the corporation, in
fact-sO that its credit may be
extended to productive industry
which viii put men to work
and create payrOllS.
"The Government ought to
accelerate its activities, where
it is found to be sound, dur
ing the next few years to give
additional employment"
Garner said the draft of his
bill had not yet been completed
but he expected it would be this
week. There will be hearings be
fore the Ways and Means Com.
mittee before it is brought before
the House for action.
