Hundreds of Fishermen Are
 Marooned on Drifting Field
 of Ice; e;Planes Making Search

Fragmentary wireless reports from the marooned men on Friday said they had not sighted land for days. Parts of the icefield have broken off but none of the party was lost. There is ample room on the icefield for all. The castaways are keeping in close contact so as not to be separ- ated.
 Wagons, being used to load fish when the field started out to sea, furnished some shelter and it is said there is sufficient wood to keep fires going although the stock IS rapidly being depleted.
 Steamers are being held in readi- ness along the coast to sail to aid of the party as soon as planes have located the icefield.

HOMER MAY BE SITE OF NEW
 FARM COLONY
Government Is Surveying Area -Matanuska-like
 Project Is Seen

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-A pre- liminary survey of the Homer area, on Cook Inlet, Alaska, in connec- tion with possible development of a farm colony somewhat in the manner of the Matanuska project, is reported |, be underway.
 Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said that at his request the Interior De- partment's Land Office has assigned man to survey the Kenai Penin- sula section near Homer Delegate Dimond emphasized that at present the colony was in the talked of stage, and that nothing has been decided either by Alaskans interest ed or by the government. The delegate said that the only question in his mind was the market for any large-scale agricultural development in the Homer district, and said that this would be settled when and if a highway was constructed to An chorage so as to connect with the railroad.
 The highway already extends half the distance, and efforts have been made to connect the missing link of the Homer-Anchorage road
 The first intimation that a col ony might be in the offing came from Leon Vincent, Associated Press correspondent at Seldovia, whose interest aroused the activities of the surveyor Vincent said that about 100 independent settlers are now in the region, and more com ing.
 He described the land as fertile,

AL SMITH FLAYS F. ). R. POLICIES
 IN LEAGUE TALK
Speech h Labeled by Many as Repetition of COP.
 New Deal Criticism

WASHINGTON, Jan 27-Alfred E. Smiths long -heralded speech was delivered at the American Liberty League banquet here Saturday night and had political circles astir to- day. MT. Smith criticized the New Deal and all its works in bitter attack on the policies of President Roosevelt, his former friend and po- litical ally.
 The former Democratic Presiden- tial candidate declared repeatedly he would not be candidate for any office himself but some doubt ex- isted that he would remain aloof in the coming campaign. The Repub- lican comment on his remarks were mostly laudatory but Democrats, where they commented at all, mostly characterized MT Smith as dis gruntled man and his remarks as mere repetition of the Republican criticism of the New Deal.

 wife and 2-year- daughter,
 Patricia, the only other occu-
 pants of the apartment, escaped

SENATE VOTES TO OVERRIDE
 ED. R. VETO
Matter of Raising Some Two and One Half Billion
 Dollars Facing Congress
LEADERS BROWN ON
 INITIATION IDEAS
New Tax Talk Is Also Squelched by Majority
 Chiefs as Pay Voted

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Im-
 mediate payment of .ne vet
 erans' bonus by baby bonds was
 made law today by Congress
 over the Presidents veto when
 the Senate with big Demo- cratic majority voted, 76 to 19,
 to override the veto. The House
 passed the bill over the veto
 last Friday with an overwhelm-
 ing vote.
 The vote raised for President Roosevelt and his advisers the serious problem of finding funds to meet the new drain on the Treas ury. While talk of imitation was widespread as the Cover m n t faces the task of paying the bonus bill of approximately two and one half billion dollars, majority chiefs in both the House and Senate moved to squelch all talk of new tax levies and apparently were hos tile to imitation ideas. There was indication efforts would be made to tack the bonus money bill onto one of the regular appropriation measures.
 Three Per Cent Bonds
 The United States Chamber of Commerce expressed dismay at the outlook in face of the bonus and other possible outlays.
 Under the measure which became law today, veterans of the World War will be given baby bonds of s5O denomination in payment of their service certificates. The bonds will pay three per cent interest but will be cashable at any post office for those who want immed- fate cash. Odd amounts will be navahle in cash. Bonus leaders said if was planned to have payments started by June.
 First Voted in 1924
 The adjusted service certificates which now are to be redeemed in bonds were originally voted by Con- eress in 1924 over President Cool idge's veto. These certificates were to mature in 1945. In 1881, Con- qress passed the emergency com pensation act which allowed the veterans to borrow up to half of their certificates, the average cer-
