Then they found out the car he was driv- ing was a rent car; that when he rented the car he had given the name of Frank B.

Haven't you been in the news paper game long enough to know that you can't run a story like that without being absolutely sure of your grounds?" he demanded. Dick Kenney's voice was anx- ious.
 ''It was just one of those things that couldn't be helped," he said. Tt came in at the last minute. | The man gave the name of John | smith. The police checked back on where he'd rented the roadster and found that he'd given the name of Frank B. Cathay of Riv- erview. They confronted him with that statement and he admitted his identity.

 He looked over at Morden. "Morden." he said, twas in a tough spot. The paper was all ready to go to press. Whipple of The Planet suspected something"
 Dan Blocker snorted contemptu- ously.

 Blocker stared steadily at the city editor. Dick Kenney met lis gaze calmly.
 "That all your story?" asked Blocker.
 Kenney nodded.
 "Its a damned poor way to ver- fly the mans identity" Dan Bleek- CT said.

 "How did you find out the man wasn't Cathay?" he asked.
 Frank B. Cathay, himself, came to see me-"
 What did he want?"
 "Plenty."
 "How much?"
 "He didn't say. He wants a re- traction, and he wants damages"
 "Oh he does, does he?" said Blocker grimly.

The fate of the bill authorizing

ably will be settled tomorrow.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the COM
mittee, said today that he will
call an executive session of his
group tomorrow to vote on the
measure. The chairman explained
that possibly 100 requests for en-
actment of the bill have come to
him, and perhaps a score of pro-
tests. He has an open mind on
the question.
He pointed out that a subcom-
mittee has held hearings on the
measure and he desires to call
his full committee together, so
that the subcommittee can make
its report with explanations as to
their reactions from the hearings.
1t is believed the committee
will approve the measure and
Senate passage would then be all

|SFOUGHT BY
PRESIDENT
Compromise BY Unions and
Barons of Industry Is
Goal of Efforts

Assured that only drastic &C.
ton can avert the threatened
strike of 100000 steel workers,
President Roosevelt today was
bending every effort to obtain a
compromise between union labor
leaders and the Iron and Steel
Institute.
The President so far has re-
manned behind the scenes, but
the failure of Recovery y Admin
istrator Hugh S. johnson and
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, chairman of the National
Labor Board, to effect an agree
ment between capital and labor
now demands executive action.
BarOns May Yield
With the 255 steel local dele,
gates already moving upon Pitts
burgh for the strike convention
called for Thursday, the admins
tration was hopeful of foreStall'
ing the strike through further
concessions on the part of the
powerful steel masters, or
through pressure on the leaders
of the Amalgamated Association
Of Iron, Steel. and Tin Workers.
General johnson remained in
the vanguard of the administra-
tons confereeS, He Is contem-

convention when the delegates

Michael F. Tighe, Amalga-
mated president, during the sew

"go along" with the NRA but his
lieutenants in the past few days
have jockeyed the 77-year-old
leader into a position where he
must put forth the demands Of

his own conservative desire.

HOUSE VOTES
STEAGALL
BANK AID
Conference Report Is Adopted
vive Voce and Senate Will
Act Soon

BY a voice vote, the House this
afternoon adopted the conference
report on the Steagall deposit
guarantee extension bill.
The measure carries with 1t
substantial bank relief provisions.
AS amended in conference, it
authorizes that the r. F.. C. pur-
chase frozen assets of closed
banks, providing the same sort of
relief as advocated by the Mcleod
bank relief bloc.
A Must" Measure
The measure, a must" bill on
the Administration program, eX-
tends the temporary bank deposit
insurance plan for another year
from July l and postpones the
effective date of the permanent
plan until July /. 1886.
The amount of bank deposits
insured under the temporary plan
is raised from $4,000 to $4,000.
Petition Is Blocked
The conference report was
brought up Immediately after the
House convened by Representa-
tive Henry B. Steagall CD, of.
Alabama, chairman of the House
Banking and Currency Com
mittee. - --~>. $780,
before it was debated, however,
an attempt was made by Repre-
sentative CaSsius Dowell (R.) Of
Iowa to call up one of the petit
lions signed by the necessary 145
members fortnight ago.
His attempt was blocked by the
Speaker who ruled that neither
the Mcleod nor the Frasier-Lemke
petitions could be called up, mas
much as seven legislative days had
not interviewed.
Senate Action to Follow
Following the House action, the
Senate, probably the following
day, will put it's final stamp of ap-
proval on the conference agree
ment, and the measure then will
go to the White House for the
signature of President Roosevelt.
Followers of the Mcleod bill
in the House, although disap-
pointed that greater relief for
depositors in closed banks will
not be given at this session of
Congress, fell that considerable
good has been accomplished in
getting the Steagall amendment
through.

LIVINGSTON MANOR, N. Y,
June ii U.N.S).-The pilot of a
searching plane from Wurstboro
Airport reported this afternoon

the missing American Air Line
passenger transport at Mongaup
Park, near here, and that all
aboard were dead.
The pilot made his report to
State police and searching parties
Immediately started for the scene
At 1870 p. M. none OF the
Searchers had yet returned.
Burned in Crash
The plane burned when 1t
crashed, according to the filters
report, It came down in an al
most inaccessible spot in the
rocky Catskill Mountains terri
tory, miles from any human haol'
tation. -
Bourke, coroner Of Livingston
Manor, set out for the scene. The
searching plane whose pilot
sighted the wrecked craft almost
two days after it left Newark air
port for Chicago returned to the
Livingston Manor airport.
Some time was expected TO
elapse before full details OF the
tragedy became known.
The scene of the crash IS an
isolated one. The nearest farm
house is four miles away and the
nearest telephone twice that.
The wrecked liner carried seven
persons-four passengers, stew
ardess, a pilot and co-pilot.
Country Was Secured
The pilot who made the dis
covery was Ted Hallock, Local
flier working out of the Wurst'
boro airport.
He and scores Of others had
secured the territory between the
western ridges of the Catskills and
the Hudson while hope steadily
faded that any of the seven
aboard might have escaped with
their lives.
indications were that the pilot
of the wrecked plane, Clyde Hol-
brook, 38-year-oldS veteran with
more than 10000 hours OF flying
experience, had attempted to

QN.SO.-Two thousand persons

swept the Republic Of Salvador
over the weekend, relief workers
estimated today.
L. C. Galloway, Jr., manager Of
the Pan-American Anyways air
port here, who completed a flight

A steamer was sunk at the
mouth of the Lempa River, Mr..

A passenger train of the Inter

America was derailed and turned
upside down, Mr.. Galloway re-
ported. He flew low over the
debris but could not attempt to
estimate the number Of dead.
The full force of the storm was
felt between La Libertad and La
Union, on the Pacific Coast. Two
hurricanes, following each other
by a few hours, were accompa-
MED by torrential rain storms and
flooded rivers added to the ma
tion-wide distress.
Congress, hurried into emer-
gency session today, cancelled all
tariffs on foodstuffs for four
months. A presidential decree
was issued, stabilizing prices on
food to avoid profiteering.
