MERCURY KEEP I
DOWN BY RAIN

Today's thunder storm saved
the Capital from a repetition of
yesterdays temperature of 80 de-
grees. But WashingtonianS, suf-
fering from the highest humidity
registered this season, have not
been able to tell the difference.
According to the Weather Bu-
reau, a second storm this after
noon will keep the mercury under
the 80 mark.
All sections of the country, ex-
cept the Pacific Coast, are feeling
the heat wave. Wichita, Kan,
yesterday saw the mercury soar
to 10.
The Middle west is receiving
the full force of the wave. In
Chicago an all-time record for this
season of the year, 95 degrees, is
predicted for this afternoon. Re
ports of deaths from sun stroke
are coming in from other Middle
Westernn points. Three proStra-
tions were noted for Kansas
City. The Kansas wheat crop is
reported suffering from the heat,
ripening prematurely. Corn, how
ever, is thriving under the beat

VETO Of BANK
BILL LOOMS

A letter from President Roose-
velt saying he would veto the
Glass-Steagall banking reform bill
if the Vandenberg amendment for
a one-year guarantee of all bank
deposits is retained by Senate and
House conferees was sent Senator
Glass CD of Virginia and Repre-
sentative Steagall CD of Alabama
today.
Senator Vandenberg (RJ of
Michigan assailed Secretary of the
Treasury Woodin for opposing the
emergency bank guarantee. He
said:
"Only a few days ago WOOdin
appeared before the Senate
Banking and Currency Com
mittee to urge a much more
sweeping bank guarantee pro-
vision than the one he is now
opposing. He proposed that all
bank deposits be guaranteed
with the r. F. C. and the Fed
eral Treasury assuming all the
loss that might result from his
proposal.
81 warn that he will be asked
to explain his contradictory
position toward the emergency
bank guarantee limited to one
year, provided in my amend
ment."
While the White House admit
ted such a letter was sent but
refused to reveal its contents

veto of the measure if the Van

MARKET Squirt
STRIKES SNAG

NEW YORK, June 6 G.N.SO
A new boom in the stock market
led by the communications and
steel shares was halted abruptly
shortly after midday by the uneX-
pected reduction in the preferred
dividend by Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e Railway.
This brought heavy selling into
the rails and carried the rest OF
the list down in sympathy. Early
gains running to six points were
wiped out in most instances and
a number of leaders, led by Atchi-
son, suffered losses running to
three points.
The bulls, however, rallied
quickly from the shock and threw
fresh buying orders into the mar
ket. The decline was stemned
and the list showed fresh rallying
tendencies.
The wire issues, particularly
Postal Telegraph preferred, re-
tained a good part of their gains
while the steels held we'll around
the previous close.

ON TAXES
Committee Supresses Pecora

Sufficient Power

The proposed inquiry into in

for the present by the Senate
Banking and Currency Commit
tee today.
The committee ordered Ferdi.
nand Pecora, it's special counsel
to drop the income tax inquiry
for the present.
He was directed to proceed with
other phases of the Morgan in
quiry.
Hasn't Power, Is Plea
While abandoning the tax in
quiry, the committee directed its
subcommittee investigating j. P
Morgan and Co., to prepare.
resolution expanding the investi'
cation to include income taxes.
This decision was reached by a
vote of II to 6,athe minority pro-
testing the committee had ample
power to proceed Immediately
with the tax inquiry.
The committee adopted a reso-
luton declaring it favored investi-
eating security sales which "affect
the taxing powers of the Govern
ment." It held it had no such
power at the present time.
The resolution read:
''It is the sense of this COM
mittee that it should inquire
into the practices of buying and
selling securities as such bust
ness as may affect the taxing
powers of the Government.
But in as much as the legal
right of the committee to pro-
ceed along this line of inquiry
is challenged, the committee
should prOceed Immediately
with railroad, public utility,
and other phases of the inveSti-

use in the Civilian Conservation

Daring his wife to shoot
him brought death today to
Phillip j. Wiedeman, employe
of the District water depart
ment, according to a sworn
statement made to police by a
witness of the shooting.
His widow, Mrs. Frances Wiede
man, 38, was booked at the
women's bureau on charge Of
murder, despite the dying state
ment of her husband that the
wounds were self-inflicted.
On the verge of collapse, Mrs
Wiedeman was questioned by po
lice for more than an hour to
day, but continued to deny that
she had done the shooting, de
claring she has no recollection OF
the events leading up to the
tragedy.
ROOmer Is Accuser
William Long, roomer in the
Wiedeman home, 800 block Tenth
st. N. E., where the shooting
occurred, was the witness.
According to his story to police
the Wiedemans played cards last
night and seemed happy. Later

MOSCOW, June 6 (I.N.S.)
Sweeping across Siberia on
his cord-breaking sky ride
around the world, James Mat
tern, Texas aviator, landed at
Omsk at 1926 G. M. T. today
5:35 a. M, Washington time).
Omsk, an important town on
the transsiberian railway line,
possessing an excellent air field,
is 1,45O miles east of Moscow.
Mattern will remain at Omsk
until tomorrow, and then take off
for Irkutsk, a 1,O00-mile hop.
Five hours and sixteen minutes

whose record he is attempting to

Winds Cut Speed
Apparently held back by head.
winds and adverse weather, Mat
tern took II hours and 20 min
utes to cover the distance be-
tween Moscow and Omsk.
He made only about 10 miles
an hour, as against his 145-mile.
an-hour clip across the ocean from
Newfoundland to Norway.
Before official word was re-
ceived here telling of Mattern'a
arrival in Omsk, various false re-
ports of landings reached October
Airport, where Russian airmen
eagerly awaited news of his prog.
reSS.
One report placed him at
Sverdlovsky, only 1000 miles east
of Moscow, while one from Har.
bin, Manchuria, said he had flown
as far as IrkutSk, $500 miles
away.
73 Hours on Way
Inadequate communication ia.
cilities and the fact that today
is a'Soviet free day" contributed
to prevent word of Mattern'S safe
landing from reaching here until
many hours after he had set his
red, white and blue plane, Cen.
tury of Progress, down at Omsk.
At the time he landed in Omsk,
Mattern had been on his way
from Floyd Bennett Airport, New
York, 73 hours and ii minutes.
While comparisons are diff.
cult, owing to the fact Post and
Gatty flew direct to Novosibirsk
from Moscow, $50 miles further
eastward than Omsk, Mattern
appeared still to be ahead of the
former record.
At the time they reached Novo.
sibirsk, Post and Gatty had been
on their way IT hours and "a
minutes. Mattern still had a
margin of 4 hours and 20 min
utes and only $50 miles to go
to reach the Post-Gatty milepost.
Despite the fact Mattern took
4 or hours longer than antict.
pated to reach Omsk, his safe
arrival indicated he stood a good
chance of completing his flight
within the record time of 61a
days.
