SUPPORTERS
PRO TECT It
FROM VE To
Delay Sending Bill To White
House Until All Forces Are
Modified
SURPRISE ACTION FEARED
Proponents Believe President
Might Rush Veto And Catch
Them Off Guard

WASHINGTON, May 8. Up)-The
Patman bonus bill was tied up in
the senate today by a maneuver
designed to protect it from speedy
presidential veto that might catch
its supporters off guard.
Sen. Elmer Thomas (Okla), di-
rected the movement as means of
delaying action until several Pat
nantes can be present to vote to
override the certain veto.
The American Legion, having had
its own bonus bill defeated, joined
Patman forces in a determined
drive to muster every possible vote
for the measure to pay the bonus
with $2,200,000,O00 of new currency.
The delay gives them more time
for their fight.
Decision to delay delivery of the
bill to the White House arose spe-
officially from fears that the Presi-
dent might shoot it right back TO
congress and that a vote on over
riding the veto might be forced
while several Patmanites were out
of the city. Mr.. Roosevelt himself
indicated today that he might not
wait the full 10 days which are
permitted to transmit veto.
Thomas therefore entered a mo-
ton in the senate to reconsider the
bill. Sen. Bennett Clark (Dem)
Missouri, had served notice yester-
day of intention to make such a
motion, but did not actually do so.
Thomas action will hold the bill
in the senate until vote is taken
on his motion.
81 intend to keep the bill tied up
until we get ready for our next
move" he said.

MACON, Mo-, May 8. U.P) - A
coroner's jury sought from five ad-
ditional witnesses today testimony
that might clear up conflicting
theories as to the cause of the
TWA "Sky Chief" crash in which
five persons were killed.
Meanwhile Sheriff Barney Will
liams had a pickup order out for a
a man who was reported to have
made off with one of Pilot Harvey
Bottoms log books, which may have
contained further information con-
cerning the planes radio. The
mans name was withheld.
Jottings in another log book,
found at the scene of the crash, re-
vealed the radio functioned impro-
perly throughout the flight which
started in Los Angeles Sunday af-
ternoon and ended when the Giant
air liner crashed into a mud bank
near Athlata, Mo-, Monday morn
ing.
The witnesses summoned were
Lee Flanagan, chief TWA dispatch
er; Roy Spangler, TWA mechanic
placed on guar dover the planes
wreckage; William Kaplan of Hol-
lywood, a passenger who suffered
a broken leg in the crash; Mrs. D
L. Mesker of Kansas City, the only
passenger who escaped injury, and
+l,a ,,oo,,ouor of tIa dana I'm ont Of
commerce landing field at Kinks
vile, Mo.
The jury hoped to learn definite
ly whether Pilot Bolton received
clearly fog warnings sent out by
the TWA dispatcher at Kansas
City and whether the crash result
ed from an attempted "precaution-
ary" landing, or from fuel short
age.

Delegate Dimond Draws Attention
 To Land Laws

Dear Sirs:
 Herewith is enclosed copy of Pub lie No. 26O 73rd Congress, relating to small homesteads or homesites and providing for survey thereof without expense to the applicants. This Act was passed in its present form and with limitation of resi- ,.ence requirements to five months each year, at my insistence and over considerable opposition. This Act is of importance to many people of Alaska, both in the interior and on the coast, for many settlers who have their homes on small tracts would be entitled to survey and .. patent under this Act at very slight ex- pense. Heretofore the applicant was obliged to pay the cost of survey himself and this cost was. in many cases, prohibitive.
 It. has. come to, my attention that very few people in Alaska know anything about this amendment to the law, and therefore request that you publish the Act ill full in your paper at some convenient time for the information of the public.@.
 Sincerely yours,.
 Anthony J. Dimond !. Delegate.

 The attack came within full view of Donald Vilet, hunter. He wat ched as the two animals encircled the spot where he was hiding. At the first opportunity Vilet aimed his double-barreled shot gun and brought down the cat. At the time it was close to it's objective.

Bic LEAGUES
TALK TRADES
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
nited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June with the
deadline of major league trading
only eight days away, several man
ayers today were trying desper-
ately to swing deals to bolster their
clubs.
The Brooklyn Dodgers and Bos-
ton Red SoX, which have slipped
into second division the past few
days after leading their respective
leagues early in the season, were
negotiating for two of the games
brightest stars.
The Dodgers want Dizzy Dean
and the Red SoX covet Jimmy
FoXX.
The strained relations existing
between Dean and other members
of the Cardinals, including Mana
ger frankie Frisch, may cause
Sam Breadon, st. Louis owner to
part with his temperatmental
pitching ace. Brooklyn is said to
have offered $4,000 cash for Dean,
but this is just a feeler to de-
termine whether Dizzy is really
for sale or trade.
Eddie Collins, business manager
of the Red SoX, is reported to have
offered 100000 for Foxx, and is
willing to toss in First Baseman
Babe Dahlgren.
Reports from st. Louis that the
New York Giants are in the mar
ket for Dizzy Dean brought a de-
nial from Manager Bill Terry.
The Pittsburgh Pirates moved
into second place yesterday by nos
ing out the Cardinals, 81.
Detroit climbed into a tie for
third place with Cleveland by de-
feating the Indians, 1919, in 10 in
nings. Henry Coppola, rookie right
handler, allowed only 5 hits and
Washington beat Boston, 80, for
the second straight win over the
Red Sox.
