HOUSE TO DEFY
SENATE ACTION
CURTAILINC NRA
Bitter Battle Is Looming
as Committee Lines Up
With President.

By United Prose
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Houss
Democratic leaders prepared today
to launch President Roosevelt's two
year NRA extension bill into what
may become of one Of the bitterest
congressional fights Of the session.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee was ready to begin drafting
Of the seven point Administration
bill after hearing both opponents
and proponents Of the Recovery
Act. II is expected to reach the
House floor next week.
The belief apparently was increas-
ing among House members that
NRA should either be extended two
years or killed now There appeared
but little House support for the
Senate nine and-a-haf months eX-
tension bill.
The attitude Of the House and the
announced intention of Senate OPP
ponentS of NRA that they wou<
not consider a compromise. ap-
peared to increase the possibility Of
a deadlock such as delayed the
work-relief bill for several weeks.
Strong pleas for two-year extern
sion were voiced by William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and Hugh S. Johnson,
first head of NRA, at closing ses-
Sions of the House committee.
Mr.. Green denied organized labor
would attempt to COerce the nation
or Congress in their fight for re-
vitalzing of the NRA. In New York
Thursday he told a labor meeting
that failure to extend NRA two
years might lead to serious labor
difficulties
Means Committee D ocra t S
showed a majority definitely in
favor of reporting the NRA bill out
next week for immediate House
consideration in a form acceptable
to the President.
The attitude appeared to be that
a compromise could be reached later
with the Senate which would pro-
vide for extension for perhaps II
or % months. The Administration
objective was said to be extension
at least until April l, 1887, and If
possible until June 16, 1887.
White House pressure has been
exerted to settle the question so that
business confidence can be obtained
and uncertainty removed at least
through the presidential year Of
1886.

TRIBUTE is PAID
RECORD OF CCC
BY CLUBWOMEN
Building of Camps for Boys
Between 10 and 18 Is
UrQed at Farley.

Additional CCC camps, for boys
from Is to 18 Supplementing the
ones already in operation by the
Federal government, may be asked
by the Indiana Federation Of
Women's Clubs, which closed its
annual three-day convention in the
ClaypOol last night.
The suggestion for such additional
camps came from Mrs. Eugene B.
Lawson, Tulsa, second vice presi-
dent Of the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs, and candidate for
the presidency. Mrs. Lawson spoke
at the closing dinner meeting.
She advocated support of a pro-
gram which would keep the youth
Of today from crime, and urgec
abhshment Of a school of diplo-
matte training, to be operated by
the government for candidates for
Congress and diplomatic offices.
Mrs. John w. Moore, state legis-
lative chairman, yesterday listed the
bills which would have the support
and opposition of the Federation,
should a special session Of the In
diana legislature be held.
I'VE will oppose removing of ap-
pointment Of local probation officers
from the state department and
placing it with local courts" Mrs.
Moore said. I'VE also will oppose
S. B. 302 and H. B. 483, which VIC
iously breakdown the Indiana tene-
ment law"
A meeting Of newly-elected Fed
Grafton officers was scheduled for
today, with Mrs. Frederick G. Bali,
I y. ;,;c: ::1.apolis, newly elected state
president, presiding.
The Indiana dinner will be held
June 9 in Detroit. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs cleo
ton will take place next month in
Detroit.

Junior Aviators, here's a real
model to fly in this nice spring
weather. It's a Scripps- Howard
Outdoor Commercial and a dandy
flyer.
Powered with just two loops Of
= inch fiat rubber. it has shown I'M
usual stability. plus speed. And with
cellophane cabin windows. it looks
exactly like a big craft as it scars
over the tree tops.
Fully wound with winder, this
model should gain an altitude of at
least 100 feet and travel distance
of 1000 feet. Flights of over one and
a half minutes have been made with
this model by Scripps-Hovard engi-
neers in trials.

Chief of Air Service.


II WROTE once before about the
l. various expressions which avia-
ton has developed and which are
peculiar to the conditions of flying.
There are scores of such expressions
and they usually sound freak
ish to the uninitiated.
Well. 1 see now that some of this
aviation jargon is being used as
trade names. For instance. not lorg
ago a manufacturer wanted an I'M
usual name for his product. he
consulted an airline pilot about it
. . . and the result was that the
word CAVU was chosen. CAVU
simply means in aviation, ceiling
and visibility unlimited"
All you Junior Aviators should
know the meaning Of the phrases
and words used by pilots. Probably
YOU do know most of them 4. but
here are some of the more common
ones:
"Soupy" means lowering visibility
Cans" are individual cylinders or
radial engines, such as are used on
practically all planes today. To
give her the gun" means to ad-
vance the throttle. TO mush" is
to descend slowly and fatty. over
the top" means flying up in clear
sunshine with the earth covered by
an expanse OF clouds.
To "zoom" is to give the ship
power and climb steeply Incl
dentally a plane never ICONS"
dom but always up. A ''souped-
W" engine is one in which the pow
er has been increased. A dead
stick landing" is made when the mo-
tor stops and the propeller is idle.
When a ship ground loops 1t
doesn't loop just above the ground
it simply swings around . when
the brake on one wheel catches and
the other doesn't, for example.
Drag" and drift" are forces
which oppose a planes forward mo-
ton. The "burble point" is the
point at which a curved wing is in
clined TO make it lose its efficiency.
Balancing surfaces" are the con-
troll surfaces. The fire wall" is d
bulkhead so set as to isolate the en-
CINE compartment from the other
parts Of the plane.
| QUESTIONABLE are barrape
