his standing in the city.
Although this member Of Con-

Emergency to End
For Home Loans

The aim of the new home loan
legislation, now in the final stages
of enactment by Congress. is to
terminate the emergency task of
direct Federal relief to distressed
home owners, John F. Fahey,
chairman of Federal Farm Loan
Bank Board, said today.
It broadens the cooperation Of
the Federal Government with the
private home-financing institu-
tions, especially from the view
point of financial encouragement
and insurance of savings invested
in thrift associations, he said.

of interest to a few bankers and
other holders of Government OBJ,
legations" This was a blow at
the theory that the bonus could
be paid by the issuance of bonds.
The President was urged to
scrutinize the figures presented
to him in opposition to bonus
payments. The committee said
many such figures are tricky"
AS a final argument the COM
mittee reminded the President
that the bonus billions would
help restore purchasing power
by its distribution to 100000 in
every one of the 3,072 counties Uf
the United States.
These developments marked the
only surface indications of the
bitter undercover battle that
marked the final 48 hours of the
bonus fight.
Wednesday the President will
go personally before Congress and
deliver his message. Almost i'm
mediately thereafter the two
houses will vote on motions to
override the executive. A two
thirds majority is necessary to
write legislation into law over
presidential disappoval.
In the House the tWo-thirdS
majority for the bonus will roll
through with votes to spare. The
Senate vote on overriding the veto
will be much closer.
Both forces awaited Mr.. Roose-
velt's message with intense in
terest.
Aside from the bonus question,
both sides counted on an import
ant pronouncement from the
President regarding initiation, in
asmuch as the Patman bill would
bring issuance of approximately
$2,2OO,0OO,000 in new currency.
This question is involved in a
number of measures before Con-
gress.
The Chief Executive maintained
his now familiar character as q
maker and breaker of precedent
in his bonus move, however. and
there will be a colorful, record
breaking crowd in the galleries to
hear him when he stands before
the House and Senate in Joint
session on Wednesday. A total OF
500 gallery tickets have been
printed and distributed to House
members. They were in tremen-
dous demand.
The American Legion today was
making it's last big fight to over
ride the Presidents veto. with a
campaign directed at IL Senators
described as needing the most at
tention."
Legionnaires were asked yester-
day to fire a barrage of kilograms
on these u members of the Senate
in an effort to persuade them to
vote for the bonus over the Presi-
dents veto.
In circular, outlining all Sen
ate bonus votes and urging the
members of the legion to do
their stuff" John Thomas Taylor,
vice chairman of the legions ma
tional legislative committee, asked
the legionnaireS to level their
fire on these Senators who are
their hape and to send out their
kilograms by tomorrow.

PILOTS ANGER
BLAMED FOR
GORKY CRASH
Convoy Filler Irked at Order
Not to Stunt Said to Have
Caused Fatal Wreck

MOSCOW, May 20 G.NSJ.-A
fit Of pique on the part of Niko-
lai Pavlovitch Blagin, veteran
Soviet training pilot, caused the
wreck of the Maxim Gorkv,
worlds largest land plane, with
the appalling loss Of 49 lives, it
was revealed today as the victims
were accorded a. state funeral.
Vladimir Rybushkin. who piloted
the ship which filmed the Maxim
Gorky's last flight an dsaw Bla-
gin, stunting in defiance Of Off.
cial regulations, crash into the
wing of the giant plane, told the
dramatic story.
Before the Maxim Gorky took
off the 48 persons, including 81
civilians, aboard Blagin had been
ordered not to stunt in its vicin.
ity. and the latter resented the
instruction. Rybushkin revealed
he overheard Blagin say to one Of
the Maxim Gorky's pilots:
"I'm not a child, I've been
flying for Is years."
A second accident nearly fol-
lowed the Gorky crash, Rybush.
kin disclosed when the movie
operator in his plane lost his head
and attempted to attack him and
pull him from the controls just
as Blagin's tiny plane crashed
into the Gorky.
Rybushkin knocked out his com
panion with blow and brought
the plane out of its spin.
At least one bystander was in
iured when the Gorky, crashing
in a score of pieces, scattered over
a Moscow suburb. Ekaterina Mix
ulina, who was working in her
garden at Sokol when the acct'
dent occurred, was struck by fall
ing fragments of the plane.
More than 100000 filed today
through the red and black-draped
hall of columns in Trade Union
House to pay their respects to the
victims.
Joseph Stain led the list of Off
cial mourners with condolences
to relatives of the victims.
Meanwhile, the government
went forward with plans to build
three more planes of the Maxim
Gorky type and size.

The committee failed to act or
the resolution at its regular ses

Long Satisfied
Senator Longs resolution did
not mention Mr.. Farley by name
but it was broad enough to au'
throize the same inquiry refused
a week ago by the Senate, when
it rejected another resolution
personally attacking the Post
aster General.
Senator Long said. after the
session, that he was satisfied
with the comittee's attitude. He
said:
"All those present favored
the appointment of a subcOm-
mittee to see whethere there
should be an investigation.
That's all I'm asking"
Senator AshurSt CD of Ari
Zona, committee chairman, said
"ThOSe Senators present held
the opinion that so serious q
after should be referred to a
SubcOmittee, but should be
acted upon by a quorum of the
committee. There was no
quorum present today, so defi-
mite action was not taken"
Plans Face Upset
The NRA controversy may up
set Administration plans for
prompt enactment of the Presi'
dents program and an early ad'
journment of Congress. The
Senate passed a bill, giving the
Blue Eagle nine more months OF
life after next June 16. despite a
presidential plea for a two-year
extension. The House now has
the bill and it's leaders announced
they would amend it to give the
NRA two more years Of life. If
this is done. Senate leaders threat
ened to kill the NRA entirely by
filibustering.
Conservative opponents Of the
Administrations social security
and banking reform acts were
ready to join with foes of the Blue
Eagle in fighting a two-year ex'
tension. They will use that issue
as a weapon to block action on
the other bills. The NRA foes
also will draw assistance from op.
ponents of other Administration
social measures.
Both the social security and
banking reform acts face stiff
oposition on their own account.
Conservatives will fight the social
security bill while Senator Carter
Glass (DD of Virginia. will lead
the attack on the banking re-
form measure.
