RAILWAY AID
MOVE HALTED
BY WACECUT
Workers Leaders Say They
Are Double Crossed"
Strike Will Result

WASHINGTON. May 20. (UP)
House leaders today decided to
hold UP action on the bill to lib
eralize -RFC loans to railroads un-
til the senate acts on similar
pending bill.
The senate recommended its
bill to the finance committee with
the intention of attaching an
amendment to provide that loans
should not be made to roads that
cut wages.
Senate action was taken after
the railroads voted Is per cent
wage reduction for nearly 1,000,-
900 employees, effective July l..
House leaders pointed out that
with the amendment to deny loans
to roads cutting wages, the bill
would be purposeless in view of
the railroads statements they
would not forego demands for
wage reduction in return for gov
eminent loans.

CHINESE ANNOUNCE
NIGHT FLIGHT MADE
OVER JAPAN'S ISLES

HANKOW, May 20. (UP)-
Chinese officials announced today
that Chinese ,airplanes took off
late last night on flight across
the China sea and flew for sew
eral hours early today over the
islands of Kyuschiu and Honshiu
in Japan proper.
The flight was the first of its
kind in the history of the Chi
nese air force. Instead of drop
ping bombs, the planes scattered
handbills over the Japanese terri
tory.
The statement said that no jan
anese planes took to the air in
pursuit when the Chinese craft
passed over the islands and direct
" above the city Of Osaka.
Neither was there anv firing from
anti-aircraft guns. The only sign
of anti-air defense, it. was said,
was a complete blackout through
out the area over which the
planes flew.
The Chinese planes returned
safely to their unnamed base, it
was added.

FUNDING BILL
PASSESHOUSE
$375,O00,000 Omnib us
Measure Now Goes To
Senate For Action

WASHINGTON, May 20. (UP)
The house Thursday passed the
1915, 100000 omnibus flood con-
troll bill which changes the exist
ing law to permit immediate start
of many projects already author
lied by relaxing local capital re-
quirements. ~
There was no record vote. The
measure now goes to the senate.
Passage came after administra-
ton leaders beat down attempts
to amend the bill in a number OF
important respects.
The measure changes existing
law by providing that the federal
government reimburse local gov
ernments for 20, per cent of the
cost of land, easements and right
of-way for dams and reservoirs.
At present local interests must
put all the right-of-way. ease
ments or land costs. The presl-
dent, however, has authority to
relax the requirement up to 5o
per cent.
The change would permit i'm
mediate Inauguration of many
projects already authorized for
which local interests have been
unable to supply their part. These
would include the Caddoa dam IN
eastern Colorado.
Senate Minority Leader Charles
L. McNary, (R.. Ore.), told the
house flood control committee re.
Gently if it did not provide that
all land costs be put up by the
federal government, he would ask
such an amendment in the senate:
Another section provides that
facilities adopted to future use
for development of power may be
installed in the authorized dams
upon recommendation Of the chief
of army engineers.
The bill contained specific au-
thorization of $54,000,000 for the
Denison dam on Red river between
Oklahoma and Texas.

PLAINTIFFS MUST
SHOW SOME ERROR
Tobacco Adjustments Not
Permitted On Basis Of
COMPARISONS

| College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 20
Tobacco growers who wish to appeal
to the county AAA review commit
tees must be. able to show that some
error has been made in determining
their quotas, E.. Y. Floyd, AAA exc
cutive office at State College, said
today. NJ,
The committees will not review the
quota of any grower who asks for
an adjustment on the basis that my
neighbor got more than did, Floyd
emphasized. st
But if a grower can show that in
correct data was used in determining
his quota, the committee will cheek
over the facts and if a larger quota
is found to be justified, he will be
given an increase in poundage.
Appeals for a review must be made
in writing on blanks that may be OBJ
tanned from county AAA offices. An
appeal will not be accepted unless it
is filed within Is days of the time the
notice was mailed the grower inform
ing him of the amount of his quota.
The review committee for each coun
ty, appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture, is composed of men from
nearby counties. The secretary didn't
want any of the committeeman to
rule on. the quotas of their neighbors
or personal friends or enemies, Floyd
pointed out
After the appeal for a review has
been filed, the. committee will decide
whether the grower has grounds for.
complaint If he has, he will receive
notice of when to appear before the
committee and state his case. The
grower must appear at the time set
unless he is sick or has some other
good reason acceptable to the COM
mittee.
