United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. (UP).
Republicans and Democrats snap
ped and snarled at each other in
the senate yesterday over who Is
to blame for the legislative stale
mate that has held up important
economic and relief measures.
The word war lasted for sixty
minutes. Afterward the senate
found itself just where it was be-
fore. with no agrcerncrit ttlas
promises any important legisla-
ton before March 4.
Everyone conceded the senate
had done nothing. The argument
then resolved into which party
was in control and thus respon-
|, sible.
Senator William E. Borah. Re-
publican, Idaho, who was an inter
ested observer, seemed to put the
whole matter in a nutshell when
he arose, like a prophet of old,
and rendered this verdict:
1T has been demonstrated for
three weeks or month that no
one has control of the senate.
Why waste time between parties"
The oratorical contest was
! largely between the portly Sem
ator Joseph T. Robinson, Ark.
minority" leader. and Senator
tJas. E. Watson, Ind, majority"
leader who is more amiable in de-
bate.
The melting incident was re-
cent radio speech by Watson in
which he placed blame on the
Democrats for failure of the ses-
sion. Robinson rose in his wrath
when Senator Simeon D. Fess. Re-
publican, Ohio, moved that this
speech be inserted in the Congress
sional Record.
After their interchange, Wat
son made q test as to who con-
trolled the senate. He moved that
the senate go into executive SEES
sion to consider nominations sub
mitted by President Hoover. Dem
ocrats, who have refused con-
| firmation of any but routine APP
pointments. seemed to win the de-
cision.
The motion was voted down,
Al to 81 by a coalition of Demo-
Gratis and Western Repcblicans
which Watson had contended
really controlled the senate. All
Democrats voted against Watson.
Five Republicans Joined them
Borah, Blaine. Wis, Brookhart,
Ia, Cutting, N. M, and LaFol-
lette, Wis.
The Indiana senator claimed
his vindication.
Stamping up and down Robin
| son attacked his Indiana colleague
bitterly. saying he had done moth.
ing to. expedite legislation and
had laid "his heavy hand" on the
senate to prevent the passage
even of appropriation bills.

Lake Summit and Green river for

The fish and game committee
of the Chamber of Commerce IS
opposed to the bill unless Senator
Bell has definite reasons for the
closing of the waters to fishermen,
and Secretary Noah Hollowell this
morning sent a letter to Mr.. Bell
asking for a reconsideration.

the closing of these waters for
two years unless you have some
reason that would convince them
of the advisability of so doing"

Aloha Wanderwel
Heard at Trial
Beauty Gives Version OF
Husbands Murder

LONG BEACH, Calf, Feb. Z.
(UP).-Blonde Aloha Wander
we'll, becominly CARRIED in olive
drab riding breeches and tunic,
yesterday gave the defense its first
ammunition with which to fight
state charges that William James
(Curley) Guy was the slayer of
Capt. Walter Wanderwell, Polish
born American. aboard the schoon-
err Carma on the night of Dec. s..
Her usual steel nerves breaking
for the first time under cross-ex-
animation, Mrs. Wanderwell reluc-
family admitted that her husband
had not been robbed when he was
shot down in his cabin aboard the
craft which was to carry cosmo-
politan commonwealth crew on a
world voyage.
Under direct examination, Mrs.
Wanderwell had testified to a
quarrel in which she said Guy and
her husband participated. The
quarrel, she said, was over $16O
which Guy said was due him.
Then, contended Defense Attor-
ney Eugene Mccain. if Guy killed
VANDERBILT over a debt, why did
he not take the adventurer's wal
let containing $4,000?
1t was the mention of her hus-
bands death which caused the
young widow to collapse.
Her testimony was principally
q repetition of that brought out in
the preliminary hearing, and con-
Germs purported quarrel which
the state claims was the motive
for the Staying.

HULL OFFERS
FARM AID BILL
Would Provide $5OO,O00,.
900 for impoverished
Agriculturists

WASHINGTON, Feb. z. (UP).
A $5OO,OOO,OOO federal loan was
flashed before the eyes of i'm
puverished farmers yesterday
while senate committee moved
quickly to make millions of dol
lars available for public construc-
ton to combat the depression.
b As rumblings of a .threate; led
!, ~ Y mlu-%estefn farmers
grew louder in the capital, Sen
ator Cordell Hull, Democrat,
Tennessee, introduced a bill de-
signed to help agriculture out Of
the mire.
His measure would authorize
the Reconstruction Finance COR
poration to loan $5O0,00O,00O to
farmers to prevent foreclosures
resulting from mortgages or tax
default payments. The maximum
charge would be four per cent.
The loans would be for two years.
simultaneously, the banking
and currency subcommittee re-
ported favorably the Wagner bill
to liberalize rules governing self
liquidating loans by the Recon
struction Finance corporation,
Directors Of the huge fiscal
agency told the committee the
present restrictions have kept
hundreds of millions Of dollars
now available from being thrown
into the battle with the depres-
sion.
More lenient regulations per-
hitting loans to a less restricted
scope of public construction, the
officials said, would reduce I'M
employment and stimulate bust
ness. The committee recommend
ed that hereafter loans may be
made for construction of projects
that may be "needful and in the
public interest"
To care for immediate relief
needs, the committee recommend
ed also that $300,000,000 be
made available to states to be:
lieve distress and an additional
S15,OO0,O00 be set aside for re,
lief of transients through con,
centration camps.
Meantime, the senate agricul'
ture committee closed hearings
on the controversial domestic al
lotment farm relief plan yester'
day after listening to lengthy
and enthusiastic arguments fol
and against the proposal. There
is little hope that the bill will
pass at this session and if it does
the White House is expected to
veto it.

The girl assertedly was abduct-

appealing to county charities for
money. He said then that he
found the girl in a New York rail
road station. Later he told au-
thorities the girl was his daughter
and that her mother was dead.
Subsequently. authorities report
ed. he made a third change in his
story and confded that while he
actually was the Ri<rs father that
the girfs mother was married to
another man.
The local German consul re-
ceived a cable from Hamburg that
said "Hedwig kidnapped. Dathe is
not her father. Details follow"
Dathe has been held on a charge
of suspicion of illegal entry.
Authorities indicated he would
be kept in custody until complete
details were forthcoming from
Hamburg.

Kerns Speaks Before
Continental Club

Speaking before members of the
Continental Club at the Paxton Hotel
Thursday noon, J. Harvey Kerns,
Executive Sec'y, Of the Omaha Orb
an League declared the development
Of the Negro people in America is es-
sential to the progressive well-being
Of the Nation. "The most signif-
icant fact in recent Negro history"
said Mr.. Kerns, "is the rapid growth
Of this rising people under stress Of
differential treatment, Of self con-
seriousness, and race pride"
Zone of the greatest problems con-
fronting the Negro today is his lin
tied opportunities for employment and
the loss Of many of the traditional
jobs he has held" said Mr.. Kerns.
Leaders Of thought among Negroes
are seeking no special favors for the
race, but asks that they be judged by
the same standard as other Americ-
ans. Where American standards
are applied to Negroes, declared Mr..
Kerns, Negroes have proven their
ability to compete in responsible civ
ic, social and industrial positions of
the country. Fifteen million Negro
es in the United States can be a def
mite asset if open ~mindedness instead
Of sentiment is used in determining
racial issues" Mr. Kerns cited the
names of Prof. George Carver. the
industrial chemist of Tuskegee, Hen
~ O. Tanner, the painter, Roland
Hayes and Colerige Taylor in music
and Eliza Mccoy, the Negro inventor
as evidences Of racial accomplish
ments.
Mr.. Kerns said it is in the long
run less expensive to permit fifteen
million Negroes to become i~ncreas-
ingly productive than to support that
group by taxation Of those permitted
to work.
Mr.. E. Zschau, secretary Of the
Industrial Bureau of the Omaha
