Road Construction
Proposal Changed

Washington. June The
senate finance committee Saturday
changed the $400, 100000 state road
construction grant In the industrial
recovery public works bill to provide
for its ALLEGATION on the basis Of pres
ent law-one- third based on popula-
ton, one-third on existing road mile
age and one-third on area.
The change was suggested by Sen
ator Connally (Dem, Tex) and
would give more consideration to the
1ess-populated states than the house
bill, which would have allotted the
fund on the basis Of one-half for
population and one -quarter each for
mileage and area.
The finance committee struck out
the industrial control licensing pro-
vision, drawn to compel objecting in
dustries to cooperate; voted in ,au-
thority for the president to embargo
imports, and rejected the admins
tration's plan for regulation Of the
oil industry.
. Chairman Harrison Dem., Miss)
vowed he would campaign In the SEN
ate to defeat these changes, assert

New York, June 3.-P)-James
Mattern Of Texas took off here Sat-
urday on his air race against time
around the world and passed over
Newfoundland we'll ahead of the time
of the present record holders.
Mattern left here at 400 a. m.

m, eastern standard time. He did not
stop, but headed on toward the open
sea and Paris, his first scheduled stop.
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, who
hold the woodworking record, got to
Newfoundland quicker making 1t to
Harbor Grace in six hours and So
minutes, but they waited there for
three hours and 40 minutes before
continuing.
BY not stopping in Newfoundland
Mattern started his ocean flight we'll

He expected to make Paris in q
hours and had no tear of falling
asleep There Is continuance con-

that.
Should he drop off to sleep the
plane would dive or glide downward,
and when the altitude reaches Ger
tain low the altimeter turns on an

EXPECT PRESIDENT
TO ASK STATES FOR
ACTION ON DRY LAW
Members Of Congress from
Doubtful and Dry States
Ask Cooperation

Washington. June 3.-(P,-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected by Demo-
cratic leaders to make direct appeal
to the states to ratify the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment.
Members of congress from doubtful
and dry states have urged the chief
executive to make personal call for
action and have gained the impress
sion he will do so shortly.
His appeal, these members said.
would be based upon the pledges Of
president and party during the CAM
paign, and would stress the import
ance, already mentioned by the pres
ident in a message to congress, of
obtaining additional federal revenue
from liquor taxes.
Roosevelt has obtained provision
in the tax program of the industrial
recovery bill permitting him to re-
move the increased levies in the event
Of the repeal Of the eighteenth amend
ment.
Furthermore, Postmaster General
James A. Farley, who is chairman Of
the Democratic national committee,
has already launched party drive
to speed repeal.
But all this is not regarded as
enough by many of the congressman
who have shifted their votes from
dry to wet in the past three years.
They are insisting that more persua-
sion is needed to win the necessary
thirty-six states.
Voters in eight states now are on
record for repeal. Eight more states
this month. and on July 10, Alabama
votes, the first southern state to be
heard from.
Speed has been urged on the presi-
dent because on Monday Illinois vot-
ers cast their ballots, and Indiana,
until last year a dry state, votes Tues
day.
