western drought damage, embraced in
abandoned homes, half starved herds
and dust-smothered crops, ran high
in the millions today as weather.
beaten farmers prayed for general
rain to check ravages Of sun and wind.
"Many millions Of dollars" was the
nearest authorities would come to esti-
mating the losses.
Hubert l.. Collins, Denver statiSti-
clan for the United States Department
of Agriculture, said thousands OF acres
of Southeastern Colorado land would
be useless in farming and grazing for
100 years or more and other crop ex-
perts pointed to the dust toll in the
blowing wheat fields.
Collins predicted. on the basis Of the
present outlook, THE most complete
crop failure in the history OF the
Western Plains region" He said he
referred to Eastern Colorado and
Wyoming, Western Kansas and Ne
braska and the Texas and Oklahoma
Panhandle sections.

AS the BLACK blizzard" continued,
farmers, beaten by the prolonged
storms after four years OF drought,
began an exodus from the Colorado
Counties of Baca, Bent and Prowers
and others planned to move their
cattle.
Oklahoma crop authorities said
wheat would approximate so per cent
of normal, with the figure subject to
wide variation in the event OF more
rain or more dust. Crop damage in
Texas was said to be negligible COM
pared to the loss of valuable soil.
F. K. Reed, Federal Statstician,
said two weeks of dust storms had
greatly dimmed wheat prospects in
Western Kansas. He estimated the
crop, which last year ran about a.
OOO0OO bushels, was Is per cent OF

ROOSEVELT VETO OF BONUS
EXPECTED SOON, WILL MAKE
INITIATION AN ISSUE IN 1886
Final Pressure Fails to
L Change Presidents
Viewpoint

WASHINGTON, May 20. (UP)
The house today approved con-
current resolution for a joint SEES
sion Wednesday to hear President
Roosevelt break a precedent to de-
liver personally his soldier bonus
veto message, which will be broad
cast from the house chamber.
WASHINGTON, May 20. (UP).
Bonus bill leaders today argued
vainly with President Roosevelt to
change his mind about the Pat
man bonus bill which the presi-
dent has announced he will veto.
Their visit to the White House
was futile for the president, re-
freshed after a weekend cruise
already had his veto message
nearly completed and was deter
mined to proceed with the plan
to go before joint session of
cngress to plead for rejection of
the inflationary measure.
Realizing the futility of argu-
ing with Roosevelt, bonus leaders
concentrated on the senate where
a few votes will decide the issue.
The president will probably speak
to congress on Wednesday,.

Tax On Meals Is
Effective Soon
Boarding Houses Not Ad-
vertising Unaffected

RALEIGH, May 20.-New reg
ulations governing the state sales
tax will become effective on June
l, although the general levy will
not be applied until July l.
Effective on June 1 will be the
new three per cent tax on meals
served in hotels, tourist homes
camps, and boarding houses. This
tax may be passed on to the con-
sumer and is governed by the same
provisions as the general tax.
1t must be accounted Tor m
monthly reports by the first 10
DAYS of each month. The taxpay-
err is allowed credit on this tax
equal to the amount of sales tax
paid on articles of merchandise
used in the preparation OF the
food if this claim is supported by
invoices or memorandum showing
the amount of value of materials
bought, name of vendor, and the
amount of sales tax paid.
ONLY those boarding houses
which advertise in any manner for
transient business or solicit such
business are affected. This same
distinction is observed in the an
nuaI licensing of boarding houses,
there being no tax on those not
advertising unless they have a
seating capacity of 16.

GOVERNMENT.
BREAKS With
SENATEON NRA
Supreme Court Decision
Regarding Legality Is
Expected Today

WASHINGTON, May 20. (UP)
The administration, through NRA
Chairman Donald Richberg def
nitely broke with the senate over
NRA extension today. Richberg,
testifying before the house ways
and means committee, said, "To
extend the NRA nine and one-half
months would be to slit the throat
of the blue eagle and to fatally
wound it." The senate has APP.
proved such an extension.
A supreme court decision on
the principles involved in the
NRA, expected today in the
Schechter poultry case, may de-
eide the fight between senate and
house over how long to extend the
recovery agency, it appeared last
night.
The court heard arguments in
the case several weeks ago. The
suit involves directly only the sale
of some diseased chickens in New
York, together with wage and hour
provisions of the poultry code, but
the same principles underly most
of the NRA code structure and the
government has sought to make it
a test case of this New Deal ex-
pertinent in business regulation.
With the expiration of MIRA
daily growing nearer-the present
act will terminate June 16-lead-
ers of both houses hoped for some
guidance from the court. The su-
preme courtsAlth though Iii does MT 1T
announce IN 4 s5 rs a
two more decision days this 9EIIl
after today. Presufnably it reaehr
ed a decision some time after the
arguments. and the speed with
which it acted to bring the Schech-
ter case up lent credence to the
belief that decision might be ex-
pected today.

sincerity of the president, but we
also have a duty to perform. The
country wants this bonus bill and

Asked whether he thought Mr..
Roosevelt's personal appearance
before congress to deliver the veto
message would result in any de-
sertions from the initiation forces
in the house, Patman said:

President Roosevelt had seized on
a dramatic and timely technique
for assuring business men that the
administration did not intend TO
tinker with money. They believe
his message will go beyond a mere

will denounce initiation in any

STATE RITES
FOR 50 PLANE.
VICTIMS TODAY.
Mass Funeral Sequel to
Crash of Giant Soviet
Ship Saturday
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, May 20.-CUP).-
The Soviet government announced
officially last night that three new
giant airplanes of the same type
as the wrecked Maxim Cork, de-
stroyed with the loss of 80 lives in
a crash Saturday, would be built
to replace the great plane.
The plan for construction of
the new airplanes was published
in a decree issued by the central
committee of the Communist
party and the council of peoples
commissars (cabinet).
The planes will be named Vladi-
mir Lenin, Josef Stain and the
Maxim Cork. The idea to proceed
at once with their construction
was decided upon as part of the
Soviet morale campaign initiated
Immediately after word of Satur-
days air tragedy was flashed to
the world.
Rather than permit it to cause
worry and depressed feelings, the
government decided to defy this
defeatist attitude and boldly re-
turn to the battle of conquering
the air with the greatest airships
in the world.
The bodies of the Maxim Cork
victims were placed in red collins
at the Moscow crematorium and
will be cremated, in accordance
with custom, in the presence of
relatives, friends and representa-
tives of the government.
The dead included AZ persons
aboard the giant plane, pilot of
a small ship stunning nearby
which crashed into a wing, caus-
ing the catastrophe, and woman
in a house on which part of the
Maxim Gorky fell from height
of 1900 feet.
The Soviet government rushed
plans to give the victims Of the
crash-the third major Russian air
disaster in three years : a state
funeral today.
Thousands thronged to the site
of the tragedy yesterday, near the
Central airport. All of the shat
tered bodies had been removed
from the wreckage, along with
most of the planes broken instru-
ments and other parts.
An official statement blamed
the stunning pilot, Nikolai Blagin,
for the crash. He had been warn
ed not to stunt while the big ship
was in the air, but ignored the
instructions and went into a loop
near the Maxim Gorky, crashing
into one wing and sending it,
breaking apart, hurtling to earth.
Eight women and six children
were among the passengers killed.
