BONUS DEBATE. GETS UNDERWAY IN U. s. SENATE
Senator Harrison Declares Baby Bond Plan Will Pass
 Whether Vetoed or Not

WASHINGTON Jan. 17.--Open- ing the Senate debate today on the bonus issue, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, declared flatly the baby bonds measure to pay the vet erans' bonus would become law whether or not President Roosevelt signs it. He indicated there are sufficient votes In both houses for the plan to override a veto.
 The Senate bonus bill provides for immediate payment to veterans on their service certificates in three per cent bonds of fifty dollar denomination which would be con- vertible into cash at local post offices. The present certificates held by the veterans mature in l945. The majority have borrowed money on them up to half as pro- vided under previous act of Con- gress. All veteran organization leaders have endorsed the Senate plan.
 Two bills also have been intro duced in the House, one calling for immediate payment in cash and an other advancing the maturity date of certificates to 1937 and cancel ing interest on present loans. Indi- cations are now these will be side- tracked in favor of the Senate baby bond plan
 While the President has made no comment on the bonus this, ses- sion, he vetoed it last year, and the impression prevails that he still opposes payment at this time. Sources close to the White House report that one .of the reasons he is against immediate payment is the belief that veteran organiza- tions are going to follow the bonus payment with proposal for uni versal pensions to war veterans.

ME SUPPORTS
 WILSON ATTACK
 BEFORE SENATE
Munitions Com. Chairman Refutes Criticism as Gun
 Makers Propaganda

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT, = De- lending his charge that Woodrow Wilson falsified his record of the World War, Senator Gerald P. Nye today characterized as "a flow of brilliant gutter English the at tack upon him yesterday by Senator Tom Connally, Democrat of Texas.
 Senator Connally accused the Chairman of the Senate Munitions Committee of insulting Wilson's memory without justification
 Taking the floor before one of the largest Senate galleries, Senator Nye asserted he had expected ear Her concentration in the effort to end the committees work, since 1t dealt with gun makers, poison gas dealers, shipbuilders and others with large influence"
 Coward" Says Glass
 The cry coward was flung by Senator Glass at any man who de- grades the character and integrity of Woodrow Wilson,
 The Democrat from Virginia de- clared that If it were possible, un- der. Senate rules, to say this of any man who degrades the character and integrity of Woodrow Wilson I would say it"
 Chairman of the Senate Muni- tions Committee Yves face turned red as Glass continued: When, may ask the Senator from North Dakota, did he transfer to the British embassy? When did his intimacy with Balfour become so great as to warrant him saying he thought Balfour said something to Wilson, therefore his supposition is to be taken as proof that Will son should be called falsifier?"

British Relief Sc arch CTS Find Explorers Miss
 ing Over 2 Months

LONDON, Jan. 17.-The British relief expedition flashed back from the Antarctic word of the dramatic rescue of Lincoln Ellsworth and Herbert Pollock Kenyon, long-lost explorers, who were found alive and we'll on the frozen wastes of Little America.
 The pair has been missing since they took off on November 25 from the base ship Wyatt Earp on bold projected flight across the South Polar regions.
 After piercing the ice locking the Bay of Whales, the British Royal research ship located the pair safely landed there, having ex- hausted their fuel supply.
 Their long silence was due to damage to the radio transmitter in their landing.
 The search party found the two explorers encamped on the face of a great ice barrier.

4duOcates of AIasku Fish
 Traps Present Their Side
 dt Hearing in Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Speak- ing for salmon trap owners in Alas ka, J. R. Gilbert, of the Alaska Pa cific Salmon Corporation, told the House Merchant Marine and Fish cries Committee that elimination ot traps as advocated by Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond's bill HR 82l3 would cause loss to owners and loss in taxes to Alaska.
 He denied statements made by pro- ponents of the bill that Alaska was the only place in the world where traps were permitted.
 He said the investment of more than three million dollars in Alaska waters would be total loss in case of abolition.
 The industry, MT. Gilbert claimed, is not a monopoly He said about 58 companies were operating in Territorial waters. Half of the en- ployees of his company, he declared. are Alaskan natives.
 Radicals Blamed
 Radical agitators were accused by A. w. Brindle, Ketchikan salmon packer, of being at the bottom of efforts to abolish fish traps in the Territory. 9l
 The witness said agitators sought to gain control of the salmon indus try of the Territory through Indians
 He denied the statepent that the Indians are in poverty, declaring that seiners working for his com pany averaged $500 last season. The packers of the trap bill testified that fishermen made no more than S75 in the entire seasons work.
 Charge Lower Quality
 MT. Brindle charged also that elim- ination of traps will result in a lower quality of canned salmon. He explained that seiners work inshore, where salmon have schooled, at which time they are poorer fish,

HINTS ACCOMPLICE

TRENTON, N J., Jan. 17-Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, who yesterday granted Bruno Hauptmann 3O-day reprieve from execution which was originally set for this evening, has expressed a desire to question Dr. Condon regarding his knowledge of certain phases of the Lindbergh kid naping.
 Cause for some of the recent devel- opments in the case is based on an article written by Condon in a na- tional magazine, claimed by the doc tor to be a version of the case never before revealed by him. In 1t Dr Condon hints that more than one person was involved in the abduction and murder. He says that when the first telephone call came through to his house from the kidnaper. when he was serving as go-between,p the man telephoning spoke in an aside as If relaying the conversation to another with him. Dr. Condon said in writing about the telephone con- versation
 Again there was pause. And again the voice spoke. But this time It did not speak to me Its tones were dinner, as a mans tones dim when he turns his head from the mouthpiece of phone at which he stands to talk to some one standing near by
 And realized with sudden shock that the kidnaper was talking to companion. For I heard him an- nounce to some lonesome third person-the gist of my reply
