CANCER FUNDS
BILL PASSED

Ignoring a parliamentary rule
that bills reported to the Senate
must be held over "a hours before
they can be voted on, the Senate
yesterday UNANIMOUSLY approved
the measure authorizing $3.50, 900
be spent to set up q National
Cancer Research Institute here.
Ninety-six Senators had Endorsed
the bill even before it was reported
out of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, of which Senator Royal s..
Copeland is chairman, yesterday.
The group met at 1890 a. m. to
take the final action which would
place the measure on the calendar.
Generally this means a delay Of
days and sometimes weeks before
a measure can be called UP. :.
Senator Homer r. Bone, Of
Washington, author Of the bill on
which the reported measure was
based. said the vote "climaxed"
a long fight he has made against
the dread malady which takes an
increasing toll each year.
He cleared UP reports circulated
in the afternoon that the bill now
goes to the White House.
The House, to which the bill was
unanimously reported Wednesday
by the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, has not yet
voted On it.
Representative A. L. Bulwinkle,
Of North Carolina, author Of the
House bill, said no date for its
consideration has been fixed.
Bulwinkle was chairman of the
House subcommittee which less
than two weeks ago held joint
hearings with Senator Copeland's
committee to receive the views Of
the nations leading cancer spe'
cialiStS.

PRESIDENT 5 f |
0NLAWS THIS
SESSION
By EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt does not
want Congress to adjourn until
it enacts a large measure OF his
present social reform program
including q housing bill, the Gov
eminent reorganization bills and
the wages-and-hours legislation.
He is taking Senator Barley,
new majority leader, and Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin down the
river with him this weekend to
arrange matters so that most Of
the program can be passed at
this session, without vacation
and without counting on an extra
session.
This Is apparent from White
House developments today.
View Is Optimistic
It Is also apparent that the
President is going to lead the way
in a thoroughly optimistic view
Of what appears to be q terrific
defeat In the burial of his court
reform program. However, the
President tells his callers that a
large part Of his objective has
been accomplished; that he is
satisfied with social progress so
far-but, he adds, there is a long,
long way to go.
The satisfaction the President
feels is based on a general advance
in the attitude Of the courts to-
ward social legislation. The Pres
ident, it can be definitely stated,
believes that his message to Con-
gress on February 5, in which he
called for q rejuvenation Of the
high court, stirred that tribunal to
a series Of reverses which upheld
liberal social legislation. Particu-
larry is this true, the Presidents
friends explain, in the case Of the
courts attitude toward govern
ment spending, the commerce
clause, and the minimum wages.
Minimum Wage Revised
The Supreme Court is pictured
as reversing itself particularly in
the case Of the Districts minimum
wage law as opposed to its attitude
in the New York state wage law;
Also with respect to the Guffey
act, in which the court took q
much more liberal attitude with
respect to the commerce clause
than In previous cases. H. .
The President is positive that
unless his present social legislation
is enacted the country will run
into another prosperous era such
as marked the Coolidge regime
followed by the economic cataS-
trophe at the end Of the Hoover
Administration.
Attitude Unchanged
This attitude of the President
today is exactly what 1t has been
for months past-he believes that
the country may face another eco
nomic collapse and that there is
pressing need for liberalizing leg
islation in advance. In one in
stance he is said to have told a
prominent newspaper publisher
who called on him a few days ago
that there is strong possibility Of
two good cotton crops that will
yield so much that it cannot be

WEDNESDAY ana feared kidnapped
Three Federal @ overnm n t
agencies have been asked to join
county authorities in seeking the
girl. The Federal Bureau Of In
,vestigation was asked to send
skilled investigators here, the Coast
Guard has sent a plane and q pa
troll boat and the Army sent an
airplane from Aberdeen proving
ground.
Hunted BY Airplane
Today the plane returned to
Northeast River to skim over the
waters near where Miss Wohlsen
was last seen, in an attempt to
prove or diScredit a theory that
she may have been drowned. Dy-
Mantle set off in the river failed
to bring UP the girls body.
Members Of Miss WohlSen's fam
lily, convinced that she has been
abducted and is still alive, believe
she, may be held prisoner on the
black.hulled boat, sighted by sew
eral persons near where the girl
was last seen.
Seven or eight young men were
aboard the black sloop, witnesses
said. Authorities are investigat-
ing the possibility that Miss Wohl-
sen was taken aboard and may now
be held prisoner by the men.
The girl, q popular member of
LancaSter's younger set, was a
guest at the summer home Of Mrs.
j. Clark Samuel, Of Lancaster, on
Northeast River near Red Point.
Wednesday, Miss Wohlsen went
out in q rowboat for q solo fishing
expedition. She was clad in q
bathing suit, sweater, and shoes.
Seen Swimming
Many persons saw her fishing.
A group Of Boy Scouts in q boat
passed close to her and called to
ask If she had caught anything.
She replied:
Haven't had q strike yet" =
The boys went ashore and later
saw her swimming near her boat.
Still later, according to the Rev.
c. B. Trail, who was in charge of
the Scout encampment, the myS.
FERROUS black-hulled Sloop was seen
near the girls boat. The Rev. Mr..
Trail placed the time at 1875
p. m. ..,

Half an hour later her boat was
found empty, except for the girls

Miss Wohlsen's mother collapsed
yesterday after many hours had
passed with no word of her daugh-
ter's safety. The girls uncle,
Harry WohlSen,s then asked the
Coast Guard to send aid in the
search, and Miss Wohlsen'S father,
