SALAMANCA, Spain, October g.
The threat of q summary death re-
moved, Harold E. Dahl still was in
Jail today, but with the prospect either
Of early exchange for an aviator from
the Spanish government side or a full
pardon to free him to rejoin his wife
Probably the most dramatic of the
events in the Spanish adventure of the
28-year-old Champaign, H., aviator
who was convicted of rebellion"
against Spanish insurgency, came last
night when counsel aviators and news
papermen told Dahl of the decision.
The international crowd was in the
Jail office when Dahl was brought in
He knew the sentence was due, but
he had been waiting two hours. He
walked to the door, looked in, deathly
pale in the blue denim coveralls in
which he was captured last July while
flying for the Valencia government.
Color Returns to Face.
Next to the door he was able to
grab hand and heard the whisper,
IT'S all okay." He took a deep
breath and the color returned to his
face as he walked to the middle of
the room.
Dahl walked to a table and waited
biting his lips. His counsel, Marques
Del Marito, stepped up, grinned and
read the sentence by a court martial
of death for rebellion" and reprieve
There were general congratulations
glasses were brought out and every one
drank the health of the prisoner in
sherry.
While Dahl sat OF in q corner and
wrote kilograms to his wife, who waits
for him in Cannes, France, and to
Generalissimo Francisco Franco, who
reprieved him from the firing squad,
three Russian airinen, court-mar-
tailed with him on Tuesday, were
brought in while an interpreter read
to them in Russian.
Suddenly the blond Alexis Teodor
Chercasov, one of the trio, still walk
ing with cane and limping from a
leg wound suffered when he was
brought down, grinned, realizing he
was not to be shot. Again there were
congratulations and again a round
Of sherry.
Dahl, still moderately i'll from q
stomach ailment following an op-
Grafton in France early in the year,
was likely to be transferred to a
hospital while awaiting the exchange
or full pardon.

He also signed several secondary

Court Bill Disposal and
Wages-Hour Measure
Hold Answer.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Fear Congress may be kept here
all Summer and well into the Fall
is growing among Democratic Sena-
tors and Representatives.
The coming week, however, prom
ises a number Of happenings that
may throw light on the situation.
The Supreme Court-under attack
in the Roosevelt court bill-adjourns
for the Summer recess Tuesday and
Associate Justice Van Devanter goes
on the retired" list, leaving vacancy
to be filled by the President.
Joint hearings on the adminitra-
tion's minimum wage and maximum

fore the House and Senate Committees

The Senate Judiciary Committee is
expected before the week closes to
report adversely the Presidents court
reorga nization bill and place 1t on

The House will have = showdown
Tuesday. unless the administration
again postpones it, on the administra-
tion's $500, 100000 relief bill, which
insurgent blocs have amended ma
terially.
There is prospect, too. OF some early
action on the Presidents plan for the
reorganization Of the executive de-
partments of the Government.
Presidents Course Important.
It is obvious that if the President
continues to insist upon going ahead
at the present with the court bill,
the executive departments reorgani-

ton number Of other legislative
recommendations he has sent to Con-
gress, that body may be still here
when snow flies.
No one has yet been able to pry out
Of the administration leaders Just
what their course will be in regard
to the court reorganization bill. The
attitude Of the opponents Of the meas
ure is that they will not delay 4 vote
on the Presidents original measure
believing they have it beaten, but that
they will filibuster for weeks and
months If compromise is advanced
that might have chance Of pass
ing the Senate.
Some OF the opponents OF the court
bill want the issue decided before Con-
gress adjourns-they do not wish It
to 60 over into the congressional cam
paign Of next year. Other opponents
would be entirely satisfied to have the
court fight go into the campaign, be-
lieving they would gain strength
thereby. The first group are fearful
that if they have to 60 up against
President Roosevelt's great popularity
and be recognized as opponents of his,
they may be in danger.
The labor standards bill, which was
sent to the Congress last week with a
considerable fanfare Of trumpets, has
