opened new channels in the

PARTIES UNITE
To SPEED END
Of CONGRESS
Opposition Futile; Republicans
Quietly Cooperate on I'm
portant Measures
international News Service

In a spirit of quiet cooperation.
Administration and Republican
leaders Of Congress today were
rushing President Roosevelt's
must" program to enactment in
hopes of adjournment by July /.
The must" program includes
extension Of the MIRA, the Wagner
labor disputes bill, new AAA
amendments for agriculture, the
the social security bill and the
new banking reform act. The
Wheeler Rayburn bill, outlawina
utility holding corporations, and q
new ship subsidy bill may be
added to this program If they do
not prove too controversial.
This, at least, was the quiet
word to the rank and file on Capt.
tol Hill. 1t was apparent that
leaders in both parties wanted to
terminate the session as quickly
as possible and rush home to build
up political fences.
Curb On Huey Long
The furious attack on the Adj
ministration by Senator Huey P.
Long 3D. of Louisiana, has in.
creased the general desire for an
early adjournment. Administra.
ton leaders would like to take
Senator Longs national forum
from him by closing the Senate
chamber. Back in their own
States, with 400 trained orators
to oppose him, they feel they have
better opportunity for curling his
wing share the wealth"
strength.
The Republicans oined in the
desire for an early adjournment
but for a different reason. They
have reached the conclusion it is
almost hopeless to attempt to stop
the Presidents program, unless
they can compromise with his
congressional leaders.
An instance of the compromise
plan was seen in Senate action ON
MIRA legislation. Then, the Re.
publican opposition to a tWo-year
extention was supported by a
group of belligerent Democrats
Senators, so the Administration
leaders promptly compromised
Republican opposition to any eX4
tension disappeared.
Futile Opposition
An instance of the futility OF
lonely Republican opposition was
given in the IVA bill. A handful
of Republicans fought it without
Democratic aid. They fought
three days and then the bill
passed. So will the pending Wag.
ner labor disputes bill and under
like circumstances. So will the
social security bill, yet to be con"
sidered, leaders said, and after
that, the banking reform act.
A number Of bills undoubtedly
will be abandoned. These prob.
ably will include the Copeland
pure food and drug act, the CUT.
fey coal bill, the Black 30-hour
week bill, and the Bankhead farm
tenant loan bill. Even if they pass
the Senate, they probably will die
in the House.

SWANSON LINE,
HOWEVER, HELD.
ACCEPTABLE
Nippon Fleet Said to Have
No Intention of Crossing
180th Meridian

TOKYO, May 16 G.N.S).-Sec-
rotary Swanson'S cline Of demar-
cation" in mid-Pacific is acceptable
to Japan. it was indicated in semi
official circles today, but use OF
the 180th Meridian as a barrier
for war games can have no legal
international status.
An authority close to the marine
ministry, said:
Japan has no fear that the
American fleet will venture into
japanese waters.
"Japan'S maneuvers, planned
for July, win be limited. The
fleets action will be close to
our shores, and entirely Of q
defensive nature"
PUZZLED BY STAND
While it was emphasized that
Japan has no intention of over
stepping the 180th meridian,
which is roughly followed by the
international date line, the Spokes-
man was somewhat mystified by
the American naval secretary'S
statement that 1--WE respect the
180th meridian as the boundary,
and expect others to do likewise"
The authority said:
ut is an international prob
lem that cannot be considered
by the two nations alone. ANY
fixing of boundary would, for
instance, have to take into con-
Sideration the geographical posi-
ton of Australia"
SHUN COMMENT
Commenting on Secretary Swan
sons statement that the State
Department might" protest II
Japan'S maneuvers crossed the
line, he inquired:
"What legal basis would there
be for a protest if the japanese
navy operated beyond the me-
ridian?"
The marine ministry and gov
ernmental authorities most eau
tiously avoided any official COM
ments on the American maneu-
vers, but the vernacular press is
prominently reporting them, and
keen interest is shown by the
public.
A virtual censorship on COM
ments by high ranking naval Of
ficers was clamped down by the
admiralty today as the result Of
a statement issued by Admiral
Kanii Kato, former chief of staff.
The marine ministry is "consid-
erably embarrassed" by Admiral
Kato's reported criticism of the
far-flung American fleet move
ments, and official silence has
been enjoined.

MURDER Barred
AS SKELETONS
ARE FOUND
Few Clues to Indenties of
Man, Woman and Girl in
Mountain Grave

MIDDLEBURY, VT, May 16
G.NS0.-Triple murder was re
vealed today with the discovery
of skeletons of an unidentified
man, woman and girl-in an ad.
vanced state of decomposition and
apparently dead from one to three
years-at the base of rugged East
Mountain, near here.
In an effort to determine iden
tity of the victims, authorities
asked physicians to attempt re
construction Of the skeleton re-
mains.
The victims had been shot
through the head and trussed to.
gether in a large piece of motor
truck tarpaulin.
There were only meager clues to
their identities, recalling the diff
ficulty encountered in establishing
identity of three girls, whose
bodies were found at the base of
a mountain near Carlisle, Pa,
several months ago.
Found BY Women
The bodies were found in an
improviSed grave of pine needles
by a woman and girl who were
picking flowers.
Sheriff Ralph Sweet suggested
possibility they had been covered
by an unknown chemical before
being placed in the grave. The
girl victim, according to DR.. L. S.
Walker, medical examiner, was
not more than Is years old. DR..
Walker said there was small doubt
the bodies had been brought to
the spot where they were found.
No persons have been reported
missing in this vicinity.
Clues Broadcast
Authorities broadcast descrip.
lions of their sole clues. These
were:
The earth-covered tarpaulin.
Dental work of two of the vic
tims-gold Filings in the mans
teeth and bridge-work in the teeth
of the woman.
The skeleton of the woman was
the smallest of the three. Two bull
let holes were found in the skull
of the man and the girl and one
in that of the woman.
Police said they believed two
weapons had been used in the kill
ings-a 80 and a .38-caliber pistol
each fired at close range.

PREDICT BORAH,
 KNOX ASPIRANTS FOR COP. HONOR
Landon of Kansas, Vanden- berg of Michigan Seen
 as Possible Dark Horses

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Seek- ing to discern the dim uncertain outlines of 1886, some Republican leaders have it figured there will be a memorable contest between Col. Frank Knox of Chicago and Senator William Borah of Idaho for the party's nomination with Governor Landon of Kansas or Sen- ator Vanderberg of Michigan as possible dark horses.
 The prognosticators agreed it too soon to make definite predictions but the Borah-Knox struggle is discussed as a possibility. Some have it the battle might result in a deadlock which would bring in another name for the nomination.
 Neither has come out openly for the nomination, but it is believed that if Knox enters the primaries, Borah will also.
