Senate 0verrides
Highway Veto

WASHINGTON, Aug. UP) =
The senate today voted 81 to 10 to
override President Roosevelt's veto
of the s25O,OOOOOO defense highway
bill.
Mr. Roosevelt had refused to sign
the bill on grounds that the pro-
gram for improvement of strategic
bridges and highways to meet ma
tional defense needs should not be
apportioned among the states on
the basis of population, as the SEN
ate bill provided
A two-third majority was neces-
sary to override. The house must
take similar action before the bill
can become law despite the presi-
dents objections.

Henderson indicated that no fur
ther government control of public
utilities would be sought.
Henderson explained that the
price control bill aims at fixing
prices on a selected list of basic
commodities which affect the price
of virtually all civilian goods.
Rep. Clyde Williams, D., Mo-,
ranking majority member, said that
any effective price control measure
would have to be supplemented by
limitations upon all component
parts of commodity costs, including
labor" He planned to ask Hender-
son for statistics concerning the
ratio of labor costs to the prices
of various commodities.

A stalemate between management
and the 10 unions produced rapid

day, 13 days after the huge bar

The carriers negotiating commit
tee announced rejection of all wage
demands. The IA incorporating
brotherhoods, whose 100000 men,
bers have demanded wage increases

WASHINGTON, Aug. tUP)-
Informed officials ridiculed asser-

Paris press today that the United
States had hidden parts of its
fleet in Liberia where it might

One official familiar With Liberia
said the report was sheer non

JAPAN MAY MOVE
Signs OF a possible japanese move
against Russia at Vladivostok and
on the long Manchukuo-Si Siberian

The first shipment of American

route to Russia, presumably via
Vladivostok.
British naval forces were reveal
ed TO be operating in close coopera-

NAZIS VOLUBLE
The German high command is
sued a sunburst of communiques
today, recapitulating the progress
of seven weeks operations against
Russia. No new territorial gains
were claimed and Berlin dispatches
said one important factor appeared
TO be the desire to quiet false re-
ports and rumors in Germany.
This statement would seem to
indicate that reports are current
within Germany that the campaign
in the east is not making too good
progress.
A German militarr spokesman
said that the Naz! victory in the
battle of Smolensk and the ensu-
ing battle of the pocketed Russian
armies would prove decisive for
the future of Europe and perhaps
of the world"
This spokesman said that the an

RESCUE ARRIVES
The automobile of which she spoke
was driven by Francisco Arvallo,
a peddler, who found the bodies
of the victims yesterday and took
Miss Cornejo and Flores to the
hospital.
Most of the bodies lay near the
truck. Rafael Cornejo, the girls
brother, evidently had set out for
San Luis, Mex, II miles away, to
find help. He got five miles. In
delirium, he had torn off his clothes,
and. finally, completely naked, had
written a suicide note and cut his
throat.
They had drained the water from
the trucks radiator
Officers believed the truck stalled
six days ago, and the seven VIC
tins had been dead two or three
days.
The dead were: German Cornejo,
So, the girls father; Elias Cornejo,
25. Rafael Cornejo. II; Elisa Flores,
4, Domingo Rocha, 26; Thomas
Perue, and a man identified only as
"Yucopicio".
They had visited relatives south
of Nogales, Mex, and were return
ing home.
NO SHADE

year old trail that extends 240 miles
through the barren desert from No.
gales TO San Luis. 1t is not travelled
more than three or four times a
year, and the temperatures along
it frequently reach 120.
There was no shade except that
furnished by the truck. There was
no cactus from which juice might
have been squeezed, only scrubby
desert growth not more than a foot
nigh.
When Flores was found by the
truck driver he was completely
naked

them over a bush trying to make
some shade,r he said.
Bodies of the dead still lay on

they would be buried there.

Supreme ct Rules Congress Controls
Primary Elections Step By Step
From Convention to General Election

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Su-
preme court ruled today that state
primaries and nominating conven-
tions were subject to federal re-
gulation the same as general cleo
lions.
There was no disagreement over
the constitutional right of congress
to legislate against corruption in
primaries but the court split four
to three on the question whether
congress actually had done so in a
broad 1870 statute making it a
crime to deprive a citizen of his
constitutional rights.
The majority opinion, by Justice
Stone, held, Where the state law
has made the primary an integral
part of the procedure of choice, or
where in fact the primary effec-
lively controls the choice, the right
of the elector to have his ballot
counted at the primary is likewise
included in the right protected. :"
Stone explained that this ques-
ton had not been passed on speci-
fically in any previous decision of
the supreme Court, including liti-
cation involving former Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan.
Heretofore the authority of Con-
gress was generally assumed to be
restricted to the regulation of gen.
eral elections.
Votes We're Changed
1t was asserted by the Justice
Department that a primary in
many southern states determined
the outcome of the election and
that the federal government should
have power to regulate both
steps"

Even as it was being uttered,
10 million Negroes are engaged

anteed by the constitution - life,

with changing votes cast in a pri-
mary last September 10 to select
a Democratic nominee for the
House.
Dismissal of the indictment was
directed by the Eastern Louisiana
Federal District Court on the
ground that Congress had no au-
thority to regulate primaries, but
only general elections.
The Justice Department said the
five men were charged with vio-
lating legislation passed in 1870,
which makes criminal any con-
spiracy to injure a citizen in the
exercise "of any right or privilege
secured to him by the Constitution
or laws of the United States"

under color of any law" deprives
any person of rights protected by
the Constitution or laws.
The specific purpose of the 1870
act was to carry out the Four
teenth Amendment giving the Ne
groes the right to vote. While no
question of Negro suffrage was
involved in the case decided today,
justice department officials ex-
pressed belief that the decision in
dicated the court would rule that
any interference with the rights
of Negroes to vote in primary
to determine candidates for fede-
raj office violated the federal sta
tute."
They expressed belief the court
would hold the 1870 law applicable
to any political party regulations
which bar Negro voters from pri-
maries or which require tests of
party regularity.
