SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April Is
Q.N.SD.-"Gin" marriages are
placed under the ban in a bill
which has been passed by the

After a miniature vaudeville
show on the subject, the House
became serious and passed the
bill, sponsored by Representative
Frank Ring Cd. 1t prohibits
issuance of marriage licenses

save regret on the part of

their action.

SOU THERNERS
FIGHT SENATE
LYNCH BILL
Sectional FiIibuSter Holds Up
Legislation; Long Delays
0utburSt
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

A fierce sectional filibuSter
against the Wagner-CoStigan anti
lynching bill paralyzed the Senate
today as southern Democrats
fought consideration of the meas.
ure.
The filibuster held the spotlight
but behind the scenes, Senators
Huey P. Long CD of Louisiana
and Joe T. Robinson CD OF
Arkansas, were waiting to match
verbal swords on the efficacy OF
President Roosevelt's relief pol,
icies. There were indications
Senator Long might withhold his
attack on the Administration I'M
til after he has filled a speaking
engagement before the Farmers
Holiday Association in Des Moines,
iowa, Saturday. Senator Robin
son, the Democratic leader. was
reported ready to answer Huey at
any time.
Legislation Blocked
The trip to Des Moines will
mark Senator Longs first inVa
sion of the Midwest since he cam
paigned that countryside pleading
for Mr.. Roosevelt's election in the
fall of 1882. This time, the King
fish" will denounce the Presidents
reign and plead for approval of
his own share the wealth" pro
gram.
The battle over anti-lynching
legislation meanwhile blocked all
other Senate activities. Admins.
tration leaders were reported anx
ious to dispose of the issue, with
out mourning the opposition of
anti-lynching organizations. This
could be accomplished only by
substituting some more urgent
measure for the highly controVer'
sial bill.
Bonus Pushed
In line with this program, the
Senate Finance Committee was
rushing action on the adjusted
service compensation bill, which
would cash the so-called World
War bonus certificates. The com
mittee may report it to the Sen
ate today or tomorrow. Then
after the antilynching debate has
run a few days, Administration
leaders will call up the bonus bill
and sidetrack the racial problem
The Wagner-Costigan measure
would authorize Federal prosecu
ton of lax State or local officers
in every lynching. It would al
low the family of victim to re
cover from $4,000 to $4,000 by q
Federal civil suit against the
county in which the lynching was
staged. In cases where State au
thorities failed to investigate g
lynching, it would authorize Fed
eral inquiry and Federal prosecu
ton of the mob members.

public works program which will
center around his organization.
He has spent most of his time
here studying the new bill and
the outline of the duties assigned
to him by Mr.. Roosevelt. He
expects to set up a working group
which will start activities in the
new intake" division, which will
handle the initial rush of ap-
plications for funds.
A new problem developed To-
cally, at least, as the realization
spread that thousands of new
jobs would be filled in the va
rious Government departments
already organized, which must as
sumo additional burdens under
the present plan.
10000 New Jobs
Washington already is filled
with new workers and the expan-
sion necessitated by the program
will bring other thousands. Most
of these workers, the President
emphasized, will be regarded as
employed on the Public Works
program and not as part of the
regular Government establish
ment.
Estimates of the number Of new
workers in the District on the
planning and administrative end
of the thousands of jobs which
will be under way by midsummer
range in the higher brackets, all
the way from 10000 upward.
1naSmuch as these Work-relief
white collar jobs are to be given
to people now on the relief rolls,
it is obvious that the Washing
ton white collar list of a few
hundred will be quickly ex-
hausted and the national relief
rolls will be tapped
Has $500, 100000
The President has 5000, 900 900
for white collar relief, a large
part of which would be spent
here if the present indications
are correct.
But the main problem of the
District authorizes W. be to
house this army and it is. under.
stood that all speed will be put
into the various housing prof.
ectS now under consideration.
One of the mySter' 8 of the
| Districts Work.relief situation has
been Commissioner Aliens hous-
ing plan, which is now presumed
to be No. l on the list in order
to make room for the influx Of
workers which may start within
a few weeks.
Another housing project which
is finished on paper but which is
delayed for legal reasons is Secre-
tary Ickes' $4,000,000 PWA low
cost housing project for this city.
Hits Brief Snag
That job is held UP because of
legal troubles connected with a
few options; but it is understood
that high speed is essential in the
whole housing program and con-
domination proceedings with a
vigorous push behind them will
mark the progress of other hous-
ing jobs.
In addition to what seems to be
an extra large amount of money
to be spent here on regular build
ing projects under the President S
plan. nine Government depart
ments and seven independent es-
Establishments will be expanded
with an army of extra clerks and
"white-c liar" professional work.

AAA Head Urges
Farm Export Aid
International News Service

Setting up of a government
agency to regulate exports so
agricultural products would get
their fair share of the foreign
dollar, was proposed today by
Chester C. Davis, chief of the
AAA.
Mr.. Davis contended some
government machinery should be
set up to restrict, if necessary,
exports of industrial products so
other nations would retain
sufficient exchange to buy more
American farm products.

None of these extra clerical and

They will receive their checks

Can It Be True?

The suggestion which has been put forth by Assistant
Secretary of Commerce j. M Johnson for solution of
the local airport problem almost too good to be
true

So comprehensive is the Johnson plan and so
easily could it be executed that those IUhO hare be-

have marked all discussion of the airport problem
will still be inclined to keep their fingers crossed"
Mr. Johnson proposes that, the Federal Government
buy the present Washington Airport improve it with
relief labor and eliminate it's dangers within six months
While that is going the Federal Government with
additional relief labor would get to work the Gravey
Point SITE with the idea of having that site completely
developed as an airport within three years.
Out of the plan LUOuLd tLOO GirpOrtS, one OF
lUhich Mr. johnson suggests might be used incLN-
sUeIy for airline flying and the other for privately
operated pLGnes
Apparently this isn't just dream on Mr. Johnsons
part
In his letter to Representative Jennings Randolph, OF
West Virginia, Mr.. Johnson remarks that Harry Hop
kns who handles the purse from which funds for the
airport development would come, has already sgnltled
his intention to help in the matter.
Further in his letter Mr.. Johnson indicates that the
Department of Commerce is ready to start ACTION on

you'd understand the condition in

In the doorway of that
cabin, long ago, a little boy
sat looking out toward the
fields and the forest, seeing
his father bring home deer

tall, raw-boned m o t h er,
Nancy Hanks, cutting the
wood for the fireplace, pre-
pairing the family meal.
Who could have guessed,
looking at that child, born

that the cabin of his birth

precious, more sacred, to the
people of this country than
the twelve million dollar

Journeys
ROUND THE WORLD

It's a great scheme, this cruising
around the world, undertaking in
a blithe, carefree manner what
was until recent years great ad-
venture.
1t is much better to start with
an organized cruise, and then
later on, stated with knowledge
and personal experience, go on
ones own.
Some cruises specialize on
African ports and side trips, while
others go in for unique South Sea
Islands and the Malay Straits.
Still others offer India as an in
ducement.
Even if it involves a journey to
the port of departure, try to see
the ship before you take the trip.
Talk with the company officials,
the tour company and the ships
personnel. Have ready some peril
nent questions that you feel you
should ask them, questions that
relate to your comfort and enjoy
ment.
Try to find time for an intensive
course of reading before you start
so that you will know something
of the various places named on
of the variousp laces named on
the itinerary.
AS to clothes and luggage, con-
suit with the cruise people and be
guided by their advice. Take an
adequate supply Of everything,
but even if you have a Stateroom
that is large and pleasant, you
won't want to fill it up with two
much hand luggage. Your ward
robe trunks will be in the hold,
but you can always get to the
trunks. 4
