visit a girl friend when she left
the house a week ago Tuesday
evening. The next thing we
heard from her was the letter
mailed from Alexandria.
"Alice has never caused me
any trouble, and might be doing
it just to scare me. 1 know she
was tired of life with nothing
to DO, and it is my belief she
was seeking to get away from
that"
When the girl left home, her
mother said. she was wearing a
large, light blue felt hat, a black
tailored coat. white oxfords, navy
blue dress with white dots and 8
red belt. She carried a navy blue
pocketbook and gloves.
Teachers Disagree
At Roosevelt High School Alice's
former teachers made conflicting
statements.
Miss May Bradshaw, assistant
principal, stated the girl was "stu
diouS" and had never given any
trouble.
But a teacher who had observed
her closely during the periods Alice
spent in her classes said:
"Alice didn't study very hard.
Just enough to get by. Her
sister Doris made better marks.
Alice was pretty. She liked a
good time"
The record shows that Miss Col
quit had been absent frequently
always, however, with the knowl
edge of her mother. She left
school for one semester, but re
turned to finish her commercial,
course and graduate. Her marks
were fair. She entered the high
school as junior student.

CoughIin Says President
Will Not Veto Bonus Bill

ND, Ohio, May
(U.SO. While Washington des
patches were stating President
Roosevelt was prepared to veto
the Patman bonus payment bill
as quickly as it reached him, the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit
priest, here for an address last
night, confidently predicted:
president Roosevelt 1S too
clever a politician to veto the
bill"
Farther Coughlin added:
"That money already is spent.
You know as well as I that In
thousands of homes last night
mothers and fathers sat down
and planned new shoes for their
children and other necessities.
To take that away is to invite
trouble.
Asked If he feared inflationarJ
consequences If the bill became
law, the priest said:
mot a bit. There Is 5000
million dollars in idle gold and
silver to back it up"
The "banker-minded" Admin
istration was flayed by the priest
last night. Before 10000 persons
TANNED into every corner Of the
huge public auditorium he laid

cies" which he declared had been

Senator Clark referred to the
fact that IL Administration Demo
Gratis helped Thomas and Long
defeat the Vinson bill. His ref
erence to the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin was a tribute to the
100000 Geographic demands for
enactment of the Patman bill
that poured in on Senator'S fol-
lowing a radio address by the De-
troit radio priest.
Tied Up in Senate
The Patman bill, meanwhile,
was tied up in the Senate by its
warmest friend, Senator Thomas.
He entered a motion for recon
sideration Of the vote by which it
passed the Senate. It cannot be
sent to the House for the Speakers
signature or to the White House
for presidential action until this
motion is determined. 1nciden-
tally, it will pave the way for re-
consideration and adoption Of the
compromise If the two factions
can agree.
The Patman bill passed the
Senate by a IS to 80 vote. Its
advocates would require q switch
of four votes to override a veto.
BY compromising with the Vim
sonites, observers predicted they
would win over enough votes to
override a veto in the Senate.
There would be no trouble in
the House. Even Speaker Byrns
admitted the House would vote to
override a veto on the Patman
bill, let alone a compromise
measure.
