Another Week Of Legislature
Sees Much Activity But No
Accomplishments

SACRAMENTO, March 90. U.P)-
Intensive activities and a scarcity
of definite accomplishments marked
the legislative week which closed
today with senators and assembly,
men continuing to exhibit good
lodging ability when facing con-
troverSial bills.
A general desire % "put it off
week. prevented many import
ant measures from receiving final
action and most floor activity of the
week was devoted to routine buSi-
ness.
Highlights of the week included:
Senate reversal of its vote which
originally rejected Gov. Franklin
F.. Merriam s unqualified indorse-
ment of the Townsend old age PEN
sion plan. On the second ballot,
delayed a week, the proposal was
approved.
Senate approval of a bill which
would limit freight trains to a
maximum length Of 10 cars.
Upper house approval Of the So
called "cement trust" bill repeal
ing the Tarner act which requires
highway engineers to call for as
phalt and cement bids on road
projects and accept the lowest bid
when conditions make possible the
use of either material. Asphalt
bids usually are lowest.
Joint committee hearing of the
administration plan to place all
county roads in the state highway
system.
Assembly committee approval OF
a bill proposing a state income tax
at one-third the federal rate
Indication that the lower house
may approve Democratic demands
to eliminate the aleS tax on food.
Unless members continue to delay
consideration of important meas
ures some of the controversial bills
will be up for action next week.

Heiress Said
To Be Costly

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, March %.
Princess Barbara Hutton Mdivani
has disposed of about one-third of
her reported $40,000,000 inheritance
through donations since she came
of age year ago, the United Press
learned today as the American
heireSS sailed for home to arrange
divorce from Prince Alexis Mdivani.
The princess financial advisors
have informed her that II her
charities continue at the present
rate, the balance of her fortune will
disappear in about 20 years.
The youthful heireSs departed In
greatest Secrecy-via the kitchen
stairs and an alley--from her Lon
don hotel and sped to Southamp-
ton, where she boarded the Bremen
for New York.
The princess, whose fortune
comes from a chain of fiye-and-
ten cent stores, has donated or
loaned" $l0O0,000 in the last
year, in addition to donations and
gifts of $ll,000000 on the day she
came of age.
Her bank pays "other peoples
bills" to the tune of $4,000 month";
ly year in and year out. Anything
from three figure hospital bills 70
arrears on installments on mortgag-
ed homes are paid by the bank on
her orders.
She made three separate loans to
persons well known In society In
1884 and 1885. These loans we're
around 100000 each and each was
said to prevent bankruptcy.
Thousands Of dollars in cash are
paid out monthly, ranging from $50
a month pensions TO 81 900 IN one
case. Again, the payments lnclud-
ed a $4,000 cash settlement OF
debts for a near-bankrupt American
girl--a girl who had been rich--in
Paris.

SCORES LEAVE
THEIR HOMES
IN DUST AREA

SPRINGFIELD, Colo, March %.
UP)-ScoreS of men and women to-
day abandoned q 2,000,0 ,000-acre deS-
ert that a few days ago was a re-
gion of fruitful farms.
A strange disease, "dust pneu-
monia," dogged their trail.
Not enough grass remained in
the region-embracing several coun-
ties OF eastern Colorado and west
ern KansaS-to feed a single horse.
Six persons died from the new
malady, a lung congestion resulting
from inhalation of air saturated
with volcanic ash, suspended sand
particles and top soil blown from
the farms of Colorado, western
Kansas and the Oklahoma and
Texas pannandleS.
An estimated 100 others we're i'll
of dust pneumonia. Scores of cat
tie and other livestock died.
Billowy clouds of yellow dust
spread over the area today, with
Springfield the center OF the
storm.
Only three years ago Baca coun-
ty, of which Springfield is the
county seat, was one of Colorado IS
most prosperous farming areas.
One wheat crop in this section
brought farmers more than $4,000
600. 1t was the largest broom corn
area in the world.

HOOVER LETTER SEEN AS BOLD
CHALLENGE TO ADMINISTRATION

under corlstitutionally conducted
government, or of rejecting it in
favor of the newly created system
of RECOMMENDATION and bureaucratic
domination in which men and Won-
en- are not masters of government
but are the pawns or dependents OF
centralized and potentially self
perpetuating government. That is,
shall we as nation stand on the
foundations of Americanism, gain
ing the great powers of progress
inherent in it, correcting abuses
which arise within, widening the
security and opportunities that can
alone be builded upon it?
"Before us is the sink into which
first one great nation after another
abroad is falling. America must
look today, as in the past, to the
creative impulses of free men and
women, born of the most enterpris-

world, for productive genius, for eX-
pansion of enterprise, for economic
recovery, fl' restoration of normal
jobs, for increased standards of liv-
ing, for reform of abuse of govern
mental or economic powers, and for
advance from outworn modes of
thought. The freedom of men to
think, to act, to achieve, is now

Great Britain, France And Italy
Issue. Statement Following
Conference On Crisis

PARIS, March %. W.D - Great
Britain, France and Italy today
formed a united front against Ger
many's rearmament plans.
An official communique issued
after the three-power conference
at the French foreign office said
Representatives of the three govern
mentS mote with satisfaction the
entire solidarity of views OF their
governments"
The conference was attended by
Pierre Laval, French foreign minis
ter; Anthony Eden, British lord
seal, and Fulvio Suvich, Italian for
eign undersecretary. It was COIN
cident with Italy's announcement
that she was putting 100000 men
under arms in addition to 100000
Fascist militia, which are not IN
active service.
The representatives agree that
there should be further exchange
of views, prior TO the extraordinary
League OF Nations council meeting
summoned by France to consider
Germany'S violation of the Ver-
sailleS treaty.
In these negotiations, they will
emphasize that European peace talk
must proceed on the basis of the
London communique of February 8,
in which France, Britain and Italy
agreed on future action toward Eu-
ropean security.
The agreement came before
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler an
nounced Germany's rearmament
plans and-by maneuvering to base
conversations on that prior action,
the three powers would seek to Off
set the advantage of the reich in
announcing her arms plans as an
accomplished fact.
The agreement provided for Ger
many's remittance into the league,
her adherence to an eastern Euro
pean and to a Danubian security
treaty and her participation in an
aerial defense treaty.
LONDON, March %. U.P)-Great
Britain today worked out a plan
for series of conferences which
she hopes will turn Europe toward
peace.
1t was learned that Britain had
asked that a scheduled conference
of British, French and Italian for

ter April 4. 1t was believed in con-
sequence that the meeting of the

TWO MONTHS

FINALLY ENDS
Amendment Providing For Bill
lion Initiation To Be Killed
In Conference
ACT BEFORE LONG RETURNS
President Believes Bill Will
Enable Government To Give
Up Relief Business

WASHINGTON, March %. W,P)-
The $4,8800 100000 work relief bill
carrying q potential billion dollars
in initiation, was passed by the SEN
ate today after an aggressive drive
by administration leaders n d
swept away the last of the serious
obstacles.
The vote on the passage OF the
huge appropriation was 68 to l6.
THE works bill was approved by
the senate after two months OF
controversies, delays and partisan
disputes, and before Sen. Huey p.
Long, Dem, La. could return to
the capital to offer further obstruc-
tionS!
The measure. desired by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to carry out his de-
termination to have the govern
mSht. quit this business of relief"
now goes to conference with the
house, which passed it Jan. "a.
After differences in the bill are
ironed out in conference the report
on the bill then goes back to each
house for adoption, ordinarily a
fcrmality. Following adoption the
enacted bill goes to the White
House for signature.
Just before the bill was passed
the senate accepted an amendment
by Sen. Elmer Thomas, Dem, Okla,
under which the currency could be
expanded $1,000,000,000.
No vote was taken and it was
indicated it would be eliminated in
conference. The administration
chose that method rather than
make a fight which would have
meant another long delay.
The bill as passed by the senate,
with the exception Of the Thomas
amendment, is acceptable to the
White House and can be used to
carry out the Presidents original
intentions of transferring 3,500,0O0
persons from direct relief to work
relief projects.
The final scenes in the senate
as it acted on the huge appropria-
ton bill were dramatic but were
played before only partially filled
galleries.
Garner In Chair
The initiation amendment was
jammed through without even a
voice vote.
Vice President John N. Garner,
taking the chair, raped after the
clerk had concluded reading a
speech by Sen Thomas d. Schall
and declared.
without objection the amend
ment is agreed to-"
Sen. Pat McCarran, (Dem) Ne
vada, then offered his amendment
to provide for appointment of state
surl iyisors to administer relief
funds. Under his proposal the sup
A'visors and all employees receiving
Salaries of $4,000 or more would be
subject to senate approval.
The McCarran amendment was
accepted without a record vote.
The Thomas amendment provid-

ARMY CLASS
|NOB|L|ZED BY
ITALIAN CHIEF
Mussolini Calls 1911 Group
To Colors To Prove Peace
Backed By Bayonets

ROME, March %. U.P)-Italy to-
day mobilized the entire army class
of 1911.
The Italian army will approx
mate 100000 men in consequence.
The announcement came i'm
mediately after a forceful speech
by Premier Benito MuSSolini to
thousands of his Fascist Black
shirts masSed in the Venice square.
Let it be clear" he shouted.
Our desire for peace and Europ-
can collaboration is above all
backed up by several millions of
steel bayonets."
At another point he said:
IT desire to say to the whole
Italian people that no event what
soever will find us unprepared."
The call to the colors takes in
all Italians born in 1911 who are
now around "a. Two divisions OF
these men were called to the colors
during the Abyssinian crisis.
Only on Thursday, Mussolini de-
cided to retain in the army the
1913, class which normally would
be released April /. On April l,
also, the new class of 1914 will re-
port for years compulsory SER
vice.
Step Precautionary
1t was explained that retention
of the 1913 men was due to the
political situation.
Today's call was explained as pre-
cautionary.
1t involves about 10000 men
those of the 1911 class who were
not mobiliZed for the AbysSinian
crisis. 1t was recalled that when
the Abyssinian mobilization was
decided upon, two new home di-
visions were formed to replace
them.
A brief dramatic communique
gave the news of todays call. 1t
said:
THE head of the government in
his capacity as minister of the
armed forces has ordered a call to
arms of the entire class Of 1911.
The measure is of a precautionary
character"
