house committee rejected the sem
ate resolution and decided to draw
up a compromise.
The decision was reached at a
one hour executive session at which
Chairman Samuel D. McReynolds
reported the White Houses posi-
ton.
The committee voted to turn over
to a subcommittee the job of
drafting a compromise which would
meet administration requirements
and give President Roosevelt a free
hand in dealing with a war crisis.
Hopes For Quick Action
McReynolds indicated he had
staunch hopes for action this Ses-
sion and hoped the subcommittee
would have a compromise bill in
shape for full committee action by
night.
He said he had information from
Sen. Gerald Nye (Rep) North Da-
kota. that the senate bill proviS-
ion for licensing munitions manu-
facture under a munitions control
board could be revised to meet con-
stitutional requirements and still
have Nyeis support.

NEW YORK. Aug. %. WP -
Strength in steel shares today over
came all obstacles to further ad-
vances on the stock exchange. Util-
tiles rallied after early weakness.
Coppers followed price advances IN
the metal. Farm shares made new
highs.
Persistent buying sent all leading
steel issues to new tops for the
year, including U. S. Steel, Bethle-
hem, Otis and National. At its high
National sold at 677s, up 29s points.
Demand for coppers followed fur
ther buying of the metal abroad.
Anaconda equalled its high. Ken
necott came within a fraction OF
its 1885 top. Silvers were boosted
for a time. AT its top q. S. Smelt-
ing touched 100&, up Ia points.
Considerable investment buying
came into the highest grade issues.
That sort of demand was respon-
sible for a rise of more than a
point in American Can and more
than . points IN American Tele-
phone. Eastman Kodak also was
taken. although in lighter volume,
rising 2 points.
A long list Of issues outside the
steel and copper groups made new
highs for the year or longer. They
included Boeing, Briggs, Case, Col
Inns and Aikman, DUPONT, Inter
national Harvester, United Aircraft
and yellow Truck. The latter was
the most active motor issue.
Columbia Pictures had a spell OF
weakness and touched 65 off D

covered part of the loss.

were registered in Washington, D.
c., sometime ago, Hewes said, add
ing that Phil D. Swing, cooperating
with Senators Hiram Johnson and
William McAdoo, had been sue
cessful in preventing legislation ad-
verse to the program.
"On August g." Hewes said, I'VE
wired to Senators Johnson and Nc
Adoo together with Representative
Burnham stating that we had been
advised Arizona was preparing
amendments to the Parker dam
legislation which would prevent the
use of Pilot Knob as a power sta
ton. We urged them to oppose
any legislation along such lines. We
further instructed Swing to con-
tact other senators along such
lines. We further instructed Swing
to contact other senator's and con-
gressmen to secure protests against
this amendment in which he was
successful.
District Not Surprised
The protest addressed to the
secretary of the interior is just an
other way Of attacking the Pilot
Knob seUup and the allotment of
water to California and is no sur
prise to the district" Hewes added.
He stated some time ago the pro-
test was started by opponents of the
districts power program in the form
of an amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill and congress was told
then that this legislation should
contain a prohibition of the use of
water for power at Pilot Knob.
MeXico's share of the Colorado riv-
er water is diverted through one
gate and that which Mexico is not
to receive is sluiced back into the
river through another gate, Hewes
said, addina that the Pilot Knob
gate will be a control for the val
ley, balance and control plant.
This would give Mexico neither
more nor less water than she is
entitled to, Hewes stated and add
ed that the accusation that the pro-
posed power plant at Pilot Knob
would make necessary an addition
al allotment Of water to California
is not at all true.

inaries and state. national and in
ternational dignitaries were to pay
Rogers homage at funeral services
at ? p, M, but the early mourners
and curious were common peo-
pie"
Although the gates to Forest
Lawn were not opened until 7 a.
m, crowds began gathering at l
o'clock.
This tribute was touching mas
much as they could do no more
than glance quickly at the simple
coffin which was kept closed at the
request of the widow, Betty Blake
Rogers.
Ten thousand persons were in
line when the gates were opened
and the crowd was increasing at
the rate of block every Is min
uteS.
Police officials estimated that
as many as 100000 might pass the
bronze coffin.
The I5-foot high ornamental
gates were guarded by 25 police,
placed there to insure against any
II shing.
Generally, the crowd was quiet
and orderly although there was
some murmuring about the decision
to keep the casket closed.
Loyal Friends There
Edward Travis of San Diego and
formerly of Montreal, who claimed
to be the first person in line, gave
a cross-section view of the temper
of those outside the gates.
Yes" he said. II would have
come all the way from San Diego
and 1 would have stood in line all
night just to see the casket. But
I'm disappointed, because wanted
to see the body"
Attended by a guard of honor
composed of army flyers from
March field, the humorist's coffin
was wheeled out on the gentle slop-
irF lawn of the cemetery prompt
ly at a. m.
1t was taken to a spot beneath
the olive, pine and eucalyptus on a
knoll 100 yards from the entrance.
A brilliant early morning sun
sprinkled rays of light through the
tree branches onto the bronze box
that held Rogers remains. The
casket was covered by a blanket of
red, white and blue flowers, ar
ranged to form the American flag.
Thirteen members of the honor
guard, II in tan uniforms and two
in officers blue, took up posts
around the coffin. All wore black
sleeve bands.
The gates were opened and the
crowd, led by a deputy sheriff
started moving through quickly. So
fast was the pace that little but a
brief glimpse was permitted. They
moved two abreast along a roped-
off pathway. Deputy sheriffs were
stationed at various points along
the rope to preserve order.

FINAL HOMAGE TO WILL ROGERS

ed the casket was composed of red
and white carnations and blue corn
flowers. 1t was said there were g.
600 carnations used in making it.
Forest Lawn officials said it was
the family floral piece and that 1t
was the only one that would de-
corate the coffin throughout the
services.
There was surprisingly little
emotional display from those who
passed by the body. This was at
t'ibuted chiefly to the sealed cas-
kct.
Al 7:30 a. m, a half hour after
the gates opened it was estimated
tnat $4,000 persons were in the
growing line. They remained order
ly despite considerable jostling.
T'eputy sheriffs were placed every
% feet to keep people moving past
the casket.
Sheriff's Inspector w. E. Hatz,
standing directly opposite the cas-
ket on the other side of the line,
acted as traffic director. From him
came a constant stream of orders
to the marchers.
Step on it now," he repeated.
Get move on. Mister, you'd bet
ter take off your hat. Keep going
now and close up the line"
Shortly after 7:30 two three-foot
wreaths were placed near the head
of the casket.
One bore the lettering Glare

Rogers claimed Claremore, Okla,
as his home town, although he was
born at Oolagah, Okla, in what
was then Indian territory, SIS years
ago.
The Uplifters club was the place
where, customarily clad in dunga-
reeS, white shirt, a cowboy hat
and boots, he played polo.
Rogers was the greatest motion
picture attraction at the time of
his death and an influence of the
screen crept into his last public
scene.
