want to vote.
President Roosevelt, having per-

signature. Army and Navy experts
are now in a series of huddles to
plan the distribution of the ballots
and arrange for getting the votes
back to the home States.
Because the Army has more men
and since the rowing life of a sailor
may interfere somewhat with his
voting, the Army likely will have
the biggest job.

ANNAPOLIS, April Gov.
O'Conor announced late today that
he would support Senator Tydings
for the Democratic senatorial NOM
ination in the States May / pri-
maries.
The Governor said that he be-
lieved that Senator Tydings' "ex-
perience and abilities entitle him to
the preference among the candi-
dates on the list.
Furthermore. I think he will be
the strongest candidate of the
Democratic aspirants to face the
Republican nominees in the general
election next November" Gov
O'Conol added.
Senator Tydings has been a men,
Der of the Senate since 1927.
Best Talent Needed.
"At such an important time as
the present." the Governor con-
tinued, sit is most essential that we
have in the United States Senate
the best available person. Questions
of far-reaching significance are
being presented continuously in re-
lation to foreign as well as domestic
issues"
Senator Tydings has been a per-
siStent critic of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and has opposed many
of its fiscal and foreign policies
When he sought denomination in
1888, President Roosevelt asked his
defeat in a celebrated purge" cam

interest.
Mr.. Roosevelt made a persona,
visit to Maryland to make a cam

Bone May Decide
To Stay in Senate
Until Fall Elections
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt appointed
61-year-old Senator Bone, Dem
ocrat, of Washington Judge of
the Ninth Circuit Court of APP
peals yesterday and IL minutes
after the nomination was re-
ceived the Senate confirmed it
unanimously.
Senator Bones acceptance of the
appointment and subsequent taking
of the oath of Office to succeed the
late Judge Bert E. Haney would re-
move from the Senate one of the
Presidents staunchest supporters
and open the way for an appoint
ment by Republican Gov. Arthur B..
Langlie of Washington. The nam
ing of a Republican Senator would
reduce the Democratic strength in
the Senate to So, with 81 Repubn-
cans and one Progressive.
Now in Hospital.
Senator Bone, now in the Naval
Medical Center, Bethesda, said he
had no statement to make on when
he would take his new office, but
there were reports he might con-
tinue in the Senate until the No
vember election. That would delay
any appointment by the Governor.
ISenator Bone does not officially
leave the Senate until he takes the
oath as judge, and there have been
instances where a court appointee
continued to function for several
months as member of Congress.
The appointment came just after
Senator Bone entered the hospital
for one of a series of treatments
he has undergone since he frac-
tured his hip in a fall at his home
more than year ago. He has
been attending Senate sessions with
the aid of crutches.
The slightly built Washington
Senator has been strong advocate
of public power projects and had
much to do with legislation of that
nature since he came to the Senate
in 1888.
Rule Waived.
| Shortly after Senator Bones
nomination was received at the Sem
ate, Chairman McCarran of the
Judiciary Committee asked immed-
ate confirmation, despite commit
tee rule which requires all nomina-
tons to lie over week. Minority
Leader White and Majority Leader
Barley concurred.
Representatives Coffee and Mag
nuson, Democrats, of Washington
may become candidates for the
Democratic senatorial nomination
in State where the Republicans
won the governorship but lost the
senatorial race in 1910. Both said
they were seriously considering
running but would not comment
further until they had conferred
with the Senator.

Gen. Delos Emmons, head of the

granted Hollywood Park 55-day
race meeting from Sept. l to Nov.

That's when the storm broke.
Bay Meadows had been granted
tentative dates Sept. 80 to Dec. 16
and couldn't compete with the $4,000
$4,000 daily purses at Hollywood. A
winter season was suggested for
Hollywood, but Santa Anita wants
a winter season at Hollywood Park.
In between battles Pearlson got
the promise of the board to visit
property at Puente, site Of the
proposed track.
Then the board made master

Hollywood park Gates to Aug. 25-
Nov. 2 and Bay Meadows to Nov. a.
Dec. 6. However, hell having no fury
like a race track scorned, Bing
Crosby wired protesting the man

Melon Growers Act
To Hike CeiIinu

Growers Thursday gathered in
formation relative to covered water
melon growing costs and telephoned
their findings to OPA officials in
Washington as a part of their eff
forts to raise the OPA ceiling price
on early watermelons.
At a meeting Wednesday night
the growers declared that the re-
puted OPA ceiling price of $3.50
a ton FOB is close to cost of pro-
duction since the price means the
melons must be aboard cars to get
the ceiling price.
A committee was appointed to
gather the growing cost data and
telephone Washington. The COM
mittee was composd Of John Carter
of Calexico, Ray Wilkison of Cali
patria, Bill Jones of Westmorland,
Otto Schwegel of Imperial, and
Mark Magee of Ell Centro. The
figures will be considered by the
OPA officials at meeting scheduled
Monday.
Figures are based on last years
average yield of six tons per acre.
There are $500 acres planted to
watermelons this year, County

NEW YORK, May 5. (UP)-The
getaway squirt of the st. Louis
Browns, which carried them to II
victories in Is games and kept them
in the American leagues first place
since opening day, was attributed
in part Friday to the stellar job
being turned in by first baseman
George McQuinn.
A left handed hitter, McQuinn
has been on base often enough this
year to score 10 runs, third high
est total in the league, and his po-
tent bat has accounted for many
others. Thursday ne drove in both
runs as the Browns won their
first shutout of the year by beat
ing the Detroit Tigers 20. Nelson
Potter held the Tigers to five hits
in authoring the triumph and
Rookie Rufus Gentry, who went
