FOR WEEK END FISHING
President to Visit Woodmont Rod
and Gun Club in Western
Maryland.

President Roosevelt left the White
House shortly after 10 am. today to
spend the week end at the Woodmont
Rod and Gun Club in the mountains
of Western Maryland near the West
Virginia border. There he expects to
enjoy some trout fishing.
The Woodmont club, which has been
visited by a number of other Presi-
dents in the past. maintains game
preserve of 10000 acres. The Presi-
dent will do his fishing on an artificial
lake which abounds with mountain
trout.
Mr.. Roosevelt left Washington in a
White House automobile and expected
to reach the Woodmont Club about l
pm. He will spend the night and
return to Washington late tomorrow.
He was accompanied by Secretaries

party, which included several con-
gressional leaders.

CHAVEZ APPOINTED
TO CUTTING SEAT
Democrat Who Contested
Election of Senator Is
Named by Governor.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTA FE, N. Mex, May 11.-Ap-
pointment of Dennis Chavez, former
Democratic Representative, to sue
ceed the late Senator Bronson Gut
ting, independent Republican. was
announced today at the office Of Gov.
Clyde Tingley.
Chavez, who ran against Cutting
in 1884 and already had a contest
pending for Cuttings seat, was given
an appointment which runs until the
1886 general election.
Senator Cutting was killed in an
air crash near Atlanta. Mo, Monday.
When Cutting defeated Chavez last
Fall by 1900 votes, Tingley, DEM
ocrat and running mate of Chavez,
gained the governorship.
In a statement, Tingley expressed
personal feeling that the pending
contest of Chavez now should be
dropped. This came as a surprise
since many political observers had
felt that Chavez both would accept
the interim appointment and con-
tinue his contest so that II he won
the latter he would be entitled to
Cuttings full term until 1910 and a
campaign in 1886 would thus be un-
necessary.
The 47-year-old appointee traces
his family to the original owner Of
a land grant from the King of Spain
in 1859. He was born in Los Chavez,
N. Mex, and moved with his parents
to Albuquerque in 1902.
Senator Chavez served two terms
in the National House of Represen-
tatives and is national Democratic
committeeman from New Mexico,
having succeeded the late Gov.
Arthur Seligman in 1888.
A devotee of books and fishing, he
Is married and has three children.
The statement of Gov. Tingley
described Chavez as "a natural selec-
tion,' paid tribute to Cutting and
recalled Chavez's two House terms.
In statement in which he sug-
gested dropping the election contest,
he said: 1T would be extremely un-
fair to his (Cutting's) memory to
carry further any political campaign
in which his voice Is silenced for
ever

n. R. A. EXTENSION
1OM0NTHSF0UGHT.
Roosevelt Opposes Senate
Compromise Plan to
Speed Approval.
By the Associated Press.

6y tUc ASSOClatc0 TIeSS.
President Roosevelt was at odds to-
day with a movement in the Senate
to continue N. r. A. only 10 months
more.
Senate Democrats at a conference
backed the plan to trim the Blue
Eagles wings somewhat and extend
its life only until April l, 1886. Their
leaders held that insistence on q
longer extension might lead to a long
floor fight and destroy the chance Of
passing new legislation before the
present law expires June 10.
In the face Of this the President
reiterated his preference for q two.
year extension. He let 1t be known
at o press conference late yesterday
that he believes the shorter authori-
sation would not permit a revision
of N. r. A. needed to clarity some
uncertain points.
Mr.. Roosevelt had indicated pre-.
viously he would accept the 10-month
plan reluctantly If unable to get any
thing better.
Believed Counting on House.
Some observers regarded the Presi.
dents latest expression as an indica-
ton he Is counting on the House to
pass and insist on a bill closely In
line with his wishes.
But Chairman Harrison Of the Sen
ate Finance Committee feared there
would be delay in the Senate If the
House attempted to liberalize the res
olution agreed upon by the Demo-
cratic Senators yesterday.
The decision Of the party confer
ence, it was said, virtually assured
Senate approval next week Of the To-
month extension.
mented Senator King, Democrat, OF
Utah. 1T will be hung up here in the
Senate indefinitely. If they send ii
back with Richberg tag on it, it
will be here indefinitely"
The resolution which the Senate
Democrats agreed to support would
eliminate price-fixing in almost all
codes and place outside the code
structure all business which does not
cross State lines.
Donald r. Richberg, chairman oi
N. R. AS governing board. has
recommended a broader interpreta-
ton of interstate commerce.
The possibility Of a prolonged con-
troversy was given serious considera-
ton in the Capital in view of the
fact that House Democrats already
had decided to seek q two-year ex-
tension of the recovery act.
Aim to Speed Adjournment.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader, said yesterdays action was
intended to assure enactment before
the present law expires and to hurry
up the adjournment of Congress.
1.-The conference considered the
necessity Of speeding up the work oi
the Senate" he said. There was
unanimous concurrence in the pro-
posal of the chairman that all mem.
bers of the conference cooperate ir
SO far as they were able, to that end
"At best, 1t Is believed that the Sen
ate cannot finish its labors prior to
some time between the 1st and the

able"

HONOLULU. May 11.-Hints of even
more amazing aerial operations came
from high naval sources today while
the Nays great armada of 46 sea-
planes continues its unprecedented
secret maneuvers somewhere in the
Pacific west of Hawaii.
Reports were that $50 aircraft would
take part, but amplification was not
forthcoming here nor at Washington.
The aircraft are aboard vessels Of
the feet now maneuvering under
simulated wartime conditions in a
great triangular area in the Pacific
bounded by the Aleutian Islands on
the north, the Western Seaboard Of
the United States on the east and
Hawaii on the south.
So effective, meanwhile, was CEN
sorship clamped down upon the move
ment of the 46-plane patrol that
Honolulu was without even hint as
to its whereabouts. although Navy Of
ficials said frankly they knew what
the planes we're doing.
Secrecy Big Factor.
It was pointed out that the aircraft
were Of umost Importance to the pres
ent activities of the fleet, and that to
acquaint a mythical enemy with their
operations would destroy their effec-
tiveness.
The planes scared away from Pearl
Harbor early Thursday. but whether
all had gone on to Midway Island,
1923 miles westward, as it was sup
posed they would do. or whether some
had stopped by tiny coral atolls en-
route was unknown.
Officials tended to minimize the
unusuamess of the flight, explaining
that mass nonstop flights had been
made to Midway several times before
It seemed highly probable that
should gigantic display Of the Navy's
aerial strength be contemplated at
sea it would await the presence with
the feet Of Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Henry L. Roosevelt.
Awaits His Arrival.
The cruiser Houston slipped unan-
nounced into San Diego, Calf. harbor
yesterday to await his arrival, expected
May 16. Then the cruiser will move
out to sea again to a position on
hypothetical battle line with the feet.
"Child's play" was the vague phrase
used by one Washington official in
what was assumed to be a comparison
of the present flight with the one
believed contemplated.
How serious the simulated warfare
Is has been felt by several officers who
have been reprimanded by radio
during the last few days by superior
Ulcers for inadvertent admissions
concerning operations Of ships and
planes, which became public.

cord millionaire, and ordered a new
trial.
Frankly, gentlemen, I was knocked

turned" the jurist told counsel in the
case as he announced his decision.

TOPEKA, May 11.-A move to
purge the Republican party leader
ship Of those who have shown a
warmness toward the New Deal" was
afoot In the Midwest today as plans
were pushed ahead for the party's
revival.
Midwestern leaders preparing for
the party's MidweStern grass roots"
conference at Springfield, ILL.,. June
10 and II, had before them the decla-
ration of John D. NJ Hamilton,
Kansas national committeeman. that
only "honest-to-goodness" Republic
cans were wanted as delegates.
I'm tired of fair weather Republi-
cans" the committeeman told Kansas
leaders as they set up machinery for
selection Of their delegates in con-
gressional district conferences the
week Of May 10.
viii Veto job Holders.
At the same time, Hamilton served
notice he would veto credentials for
Kansas Republicans who had become
recipients Of New Deal" jobs and
appointments.
Hamiltons declaration was con-
sidered significant by political obser-
vers. He will become assistant to
National Chairman Henry P. Fletcher
early in June and will have charge of
a rejuvenation program to put the
party in fighting trim for the 1886
presidential campaign.
Whether party leaders in the eight
other States concerned in the Spring
field Conference would follow Hamil-
tons lead in limiting delegates badges
to Republicans opposed to the New
Deal" remained to be seen.
Action Creates Stir.
However, those signing the con-
ference call are pledged, it was point
ed out, to select as delegates only
Republicans ready Ito give vigorous
battle" to the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
One Of those whom Hamilton said
he would bar from the conference
was State Senator Simon Fishman
Republican, often called the wheat
king OF Kansas" Fishman recently
was appointed field lecturer for the

Hamilton's action created a stir In
Kansas, particularly in those sections

coming candidate for Governor next

Who knows but that Preston M.

shrewdest trainers in the business, will
prove the means of derailing the

Washingtonian will seek the prize

"ace." Within the past few days
Burch has shown that he considers
Firethorn the better 3-year-olds, as
he switched Wayne D. Wright, whom
he brought on from Kentucky to ride
Commonwealth, over to Firethorn.
Burch is smart when it comes to
winning big money.
Whether the winner Of today's re-
