MACON F[YS
OVER CHICAGO

CHICAGO, June 13. U.H = The
dirigible Macon, flying here from
Akron, O., for a visit to the World s
fair, arrived in Chicago shortly af-
ter dawn.
The big ship flew along the lake
front, over The Loop and proceed
ed along the north shore.
The Macon scared through COM
paratively calm skies after sue
cessfully weathering her first test
of adverse flying conditions.
She took off from her hangar in
Akron early last night and headed
out over Lake Erie just in time to
encounter a high wind that reached
near gale force about midnight.
The dirigible, making a 48-hour
endurance cruise which may be the
last of her trial flights, flew over
Cleveland during the worst of the
blow. Trees were felled, lightning
struck several homes, and small
lake craft we're blown against the
Lake Erie shore.
The Macon rode serenely through
the storm, and shortly after mid
night headed for Chicago and the
Century of Progress exposition.
The huge ship will dip over the
Century of Progress exposition
grounds later in the day and give
thousands of World IS fair visitors
their first glimpse of the pride of
the navy's air fleet. The Macon
will return to her Akron airdock
here at the end of the 48-hour
cruise.
Lieut.. Commander Alger H. Dresel
was in command of the ship, which
carried 81 persons, including the
crew of SO men, IL officers. two
members of the navy board of in
spection and survey, two navy in
spectors, representatives of the
Goodyear-Zeppelin company, anc
23 workmen and technicianS.

SALARIES OF
JUDGES WILL
NOT DIFFER

SACRAMENTO, June 13. U,P)-
The principle of equal judges SAL
aries in California IS metropolitan
counties stood upheld today by
Governor Rolph for the third time
after his veto of a bill reducing
Los Angeles municipal judges SAL
aries from $500 to $6500.
"To sign this bill,' the governor
explained, "would mean that mum
icipal court judges of Los Angeles
county would receive less compen-
sation than municipal court judges
of San Francisco.
1.-THE municipal court judge of
Los Angeles has the same duties
and responsibilities as the municipal
court judge of San Francisco. To
treat them on a different basis
would be a discrimination.
A bill providing ownership of real
property shall not disqualify a per-
son seeking state aid, was also dis
approved. He said it was in con-
flict with the new act relating to
aid of indigentS.
Other measures felt the COVER
nor'S axe included:
SB 168-Provides in first class
irrigation districts directors must
compile an annual budget state
ment; vetoed because the irrigation
classification bill had been killed
by the legislature.

CONTRACT ON
CANAL SIGNED

Immediate completion of plans
and specifications Of the All
American canal was assured to-
day when Imperial Irrigation
district directors approved a
cooperative contract drawn Ey
DIR. ElwOOd Mead of the reclaim
alton service, approved by
Harold Ickes, secretary of in
terror, and forwarded by Phil
ID. Swing.
The cooperative contract was
executed this afternoon by Bur-
leigh f. Adams, board presi-
dent, and F. Ii. McIver, secre-
tary, and enclosed with check
for $4,000 to be forwarded to
the Denver office of the rec
lamation service.
AS outlined in the cOopera-
tive contract plans and spe-
cificatiOns of the first leg of
the canal will go forward to
completion and then succeed
ing sections will be taken up in
order.
Discussion of the matter was
taken up by directors yesterday
afternoon and continued this
morning.
Mark Rose and w. E. Young
refused to vote in favor of the
contract until they obtained
mere information as to the ex-
act plan. Ira Aten, Adams and
E. T. Hewes voted in favor of
approving the contract and
sending the requested $4,000.
Aten, Adams and Hewes de-
clared this was no time to wait
for further details and insist
ed that the board act at once.
They said the risk in delay was
too great and hope for immed-
late completion of plans and
specifications too bright to wait
for further communications
from Washington.
kilograms and letters from
Swing and Mead led to the con-
victiOn that matters in Wash
ingtOn are going forward along
lines which are vastly encour-
aging to residents of this Sec
tion.

RECOVERY BILL
IS APPROVED

WASHINGTON, June l3. tUP) =
The industrial recovery bill, key
stone of President Roosevelt's pro-
gram for an economic upturn, was
swept to final congressional pas
sage today when the senate ap-
proved a conference report on the
measure, one of the major obstacles
to early adjournment.
The vote was 46 to 80.
BY approving the bill in its con-
ference form, the senate defeated
a last minute effort OF Senator
La Toilette (Rep), Wisconsin, to
save his mandatory income tax pub
licity amendment from emascula-
ton. The amendment originally
adopted by the senate, was revised
by conferees to permit President
Roosevelt to make public income
tax return if he desires.
Dispatch to the White House OF
the double barreled bill to create
jobs through 3O0,OOO,0OO pub
lie works program and to stabilize
industry, left but three hurdles in
the way of adjournment. These
were the Glass bank bill, the indie
pendent offices-veterans measure
and the deficiency appropriation
bill

Loves course often runs smooth

purpose by irate parents or watch

age-old axiom occurred today.
Last night Ignacio Orduno, "a,

enroute to Yuma to be married.
Their absence was soon noticed and
at 7 o'clock this morning the young
lady parents complained to the
Brawley police. They in turn got
in touch with the sheriff's office
and the machinery of the law was
set in motion to prevent the mar
riage of the couple.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke called
officers at the bridge control in
Yuma, gave the description of the
Youngsters and asked that they be
halted when they tried to cross over
into Yuma and held there until the
GIRLS parents could come after her.
After waiting some three hours
for the couple to put in their ap-
pearance the officer at the bridge
decided to make an investigation
and discovered that the runaways

and an hour later had routed the
marriage bureau clerk and justice

their license. were married and
had recrossed the bridge on their
way back to Brawley before word

Believe England Will Make On

PARLEY MARKING TIME
American Delegates Absent AS
Second Session Of World Econ
ionic Conference Is Held.
(By United Press

The deadline for Europe's
June Is payment on its war
debts to the United States ap-
preached today with tension
growing on both sides of the
Atlantic.
Great Britain apparently had
decided to make partial pay
ment-some quarters said 10
per cent of the S75,950,00 due
while Italy was expected to do
the same and France to default.
A dramatic struggle was in
progress between the nations
which wanted Britain to achieve
united front against the
United States by defaulting,
and the powerful element in
Britain which demanded that
the United Kingdom pay and
keep its credit intact.
Communications poured back
and forth between Washington
and London. Secretary of State
Hull postponed his speech to
the world economic conference,
presumably for revision by
President Roosevelt in the light
of debt developments. Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer, postponed his debt
statement TO parliament while
last minute conferences were
held.
The economic conference it
self was preoccupied with the
money problems and debts were
again interjected by speakers.
A strong demand for currency
sterilization was also manifest.
A sensation ran through the
conference hall when the Amer
lean delegation failed to appear
at tOday's session. The only
explanation was that Hull was
revising his speech, which will
be delivered tomorrow. -

TABLE ADAMS
RECALL UNTIL

Imperial Irrigation district direc-
tors by vote of three to two tabled
the Burleigh E. Adams recall petit
tions for consideration at the next
regular board meeting July IL, when
the petitions and attached certifi-
Gates of sufficiency were presented
at regular board meeting this morn

During the session, Charles L..
Childers, chief district counsel who
represented the board in the fourth
district court of appeals in San
Diego today to show cause why the
court should not issue writ Of
mandamus to force the board to call
an election, telephoned that argu-
mentS were finished.
The court gave Childers 10 days
to submit briefs and S. P. Will
liams, local attorney representing
those desiring the Adams recall, five
days in which to reply. This rep
Jesents a 15-day delay in the re-
call fight.
Tabling of the recall petitions is
the first action taken by the board
after the delay caused by refusal
OF Directors ira Aten, Mark Rose
and Adams to attend adjourned
meetings. Directors w. E. Young
and E. T. Hewes met and adjourned
daily until this procedure was stop
ped by sine die meeting June t.
Today's action again places the

After Sher Singh SAITH, 29-year-

right breast with a 80 Colts re-
volver, he picked up .25 Mauser
automatic and fired four more shots
into his own breast, on a ranch
three miles northeast of Holtviile
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
This was the theory of the double
tragedy held today by authorities,
following a night of investigation
and questioning of members of the

of her step-father, K. Singh, where
the tragedy occurred.
The fusilade of shots was heard
by relatives of the dead girl living

gone just a few moments before
closed, they forced it open and en-

LONDON, June 13. W.H - The
imperative need of currency stab

settlement of war debts to the
United States occupied the world
economic conference today at its
second plenary session. The United
States delegation summed the
meeting
The absence of the American
delegation, except one member who
came in near the end of the ses-
sion, aroused considerable specula-
ton among the delegates. 1t was
said in explanation that Secretary
Hull was detained by the necessity
of making slight revisions of his
speech to be delivered tomorrow
but the delegates were obviously
surprised to see the vacant Ameri-
can chairs. There was no indica-
ton that the injection of the war
debts issue in the conference had
anything to do with the absence
of the Americans.
Despite the barring of war debts
from the agenda, Prime Minister
j. Ramsay MacDonald's reference
of yesterday was repeated by Guido
Jung Italian finance minister, who
insisted that there must be a final

ROOSEVELT To
STAND PAT ON
VETERAN BILL
Threatens Veto To Prevent At
tempt To Riddle His National
Economy Program.
WARNED BY SENATE AIDE
Byrnes Informs President Not
Enough Democrats Will Sus-
tain His Position.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 49, (U.R) -
increasingly bitter dispute over
veterans economy today threatened
to deadlock congress and further de-
lay its announcement.
President Roosevelt flatly refused
to grant further concessions on pay
ments to veterans. He stood firm
for his compromise plan, already
approved by the house, in the face
of blunt warning from Senator
Byrnes (Dem), South Carolina, that
Democrats would not muster enough
votes to obtain its adoption in the
senate. A test vote was to be
sought in the senate today.
The President threatened to use
his veto power if necessary to pre-
vent further riddling of his economy
program. A veto of the indepen-
dent offices supply bill, carrying
veterans appropriations, would be
likely to prolong the session of con-
gress many days.
The administration made one long
stride toward adjournment by OBJ
tanning senate agreement to vote
by 4 p. m. on the industrial regula-
ton and public works bill.
The house was to take up the
Glass banking reform and deposit
insurance bill, giving new lease
on life by last minute compromise
between house and senate conferees.
| House approval was considered as
sured, but the senate jam left its
ultimate fate still doubtful.
In the involved dispute over vet
erans' compensation, the situation
was:
AS the biggest items in his fed
eral economy program, President
Roosevelt ordered total payments to
| veterans cut nearly in half, to save
around $420, 100000 a year.
New Compromise Offered
J The senate wrote into the inde-
pendent offices bill the Connally
amendment, restoring about $170,-
600, 900 of the reduced payments.
| There was strong support for the
amendment in the house but under
administration pressure 1t agreed
to d compromise, variously esti-
mated to restore from $40,000,003
to $80,000,0O0.
Yesterday a new $l00,0o000O conf
promise was proposed by Senator's
Cutting (Rep0 New Mexico, and
Steiwer Rep), Oregon. The SEN
ate sent the bill TO conference, The
, house conferees we're under instluc =
tions not to yield from the Presi-
dents proposal. The senate con-
| ferees were bound by gentleman S
agreement not to accept it.
Naturally no agreement could be
reached and after a futile session
last night the conferees carried
their troubles to the White House.
Tho President stood firm. He
] threatened a veto if the Connally
amendment were adopted.
In the face of this situation, there
/ was nothing for the conferees to do
but go back to the senate today and
ask for instructions. If, as ByrneS
predicted, the senate will not accept
aIr. Roosevelt's compromise, pro-
longed deadlock might develop.
