Frank died at Putnam Memorial hospital here late yesterday, his 20th birthday, from a skull fracture suffered when the airplane he was flying crashed in a fog-hidden mountain forest beyond here Monday. Caught in wreckage of the ship so that Donald Mockler, New York publicity agent whom he was flying, was unable to extricate him, Goldsborough lay almost 18 hours before being rescued. Arrived at the hospital, he had been without medical attention for almost a full day. During the night he had been exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees. Shortly after the aviator was brought to the hospital, a bone was removed from his injured head. He improved temporarily, but his condition again became critical. Brice Goldsborough. father of Frank, lost his life in the waters off Newfoundland while attempting a trans-Atlantic flight in the "Dawn.” Fog. which almost always blankets the sea off Newfoundland, also was responsible for the mishap of the "Dawn,” it was thought.

TO CONTINUE Steady Rise In Tmperatures Predicted In North Indiana Rain is badly needed in Adams county, according to farmers in all parts of the county.

Only a few miles of macadam road have been treated with oil to prevent dusty conditions. City lawns and gardens are greatly in need of rain and many lawns have become brown from the intense heat of the last few weeks.

HYDE AGAINST WHEAT BUYING Would Only Be Temporary Relief, Secretary Argues Washington, July 17.—(U.R)—Purchase of new wheat by the Federal farm board as urged by western senators would merely dam up the flood of grain without permanent benefit, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde told the United Press in an interview today. He doubted whether such action would be within the law. Hyde also said the debenture and equalization fee plans which some farm senators now want to revive, would not remedy the situation. Neither would an “eat more bread” campaign, help much, he said. In fact Hyde, after a trip through the wheat belt, saw no relief except for*farmers to raise less wheat, and to organize more intensively for better marketing. o Laundrymen Elect Logansport, Ind., July 17 —(UP) Members of the Indiana Laundry men's association elected officers a* their meeting at Logansport last night.

Thomas J. Walsh, influential! democratic leader from Montana, conductor of the oil investigations and an ardent dry from an apparently moistening state. While the president’s proposed August trip to Glacier and Yellowstone National parks in and near Montana apparently is only a recreational venture, authorities in charge of the republican congressional campaign here believe they can use it decidedly to their advantage. If the president had chosen but one state to visit, he could not have chosen better for republican campaign purposes, they say. Although speeches have been tabooed for the trip, it was learned today Mr. Hoover may stop off in Montana to dedicate the Roosevelt Memorial highway arch. The stop has pot yet been scheduled definitely as the itinerary is still vague, but if a stop is made anywhere it probably will be in Montana for this purpose and a brief address on President Roosevelt might be made. In addition, Mr. Hoover's trip will take him across the state in such away he probably will visit every large town in daylight and have an opportunity to meet with the republican leaders, the people and city officials. It is not unlikely that the republican senatorial candidate chosen in Tuesday’s primary, Justice Albert J. Galen, will appear with Mr. Hoover at (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)

WATSON MAKES CLOTURE RULE EFFORT TODAY Indiana Senator Moves to Limit Discussion On Naval Treaty JOHNSON IN REBUTTAL Washington. .Inly 17.—(U.R) Majority Leader Watson todav charged the London treaty opposition with filibustering and demanded on the floor of the Senate that they agree to a time for voting or sutler forcible silencj ing by the cloture rule. Senator Johnson. Repn., Calif., 1 dramatically rejected Watson's offer. “I ask no quarter," Johnson shouted. "Lay on Macdoff. and damned be he who first cries, hold, enough.” "Go on with your majority.” Johnson continued. "The only time we ever had cloture in this body is when we were acting on some foreign adventure of misadventure. "Move on. sir, with your cloture on a treaty that deals, with our national defense.” "If the senator from California will agree to limit debate beginning Tuesday at 11 a. m.. Watson said, "to 10 minutes for each senator on each reservation we will not attempt to apply the cloture.” Watson then began to circulate a cloture petition on the floor of the senate. If the cloture petition with 16 signatures were offered today, the senate automatically would vote on the question of cloture one hour after meeting Saturday and. if adopted, cloture would be effective from that time. Cloture limits each senator to one hour’s debate. Tlie task upon which I am engaged." Johnson replied, "far transcends the importance of the leadership of the senator from Indiana on this side of the house. "I ask for no quarter. I know of no way to fight for my country except to die for it.” Watson replied there was no desire to shut off legitimate debate but “there is objection to talking for the express purpose of dissipating a quorum.’' "If this is continued," Watson added, “we must have recourse to (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) Q.

President Urges Constitutional Convention In State Bloomington, Ind., July 17—(UP) Support of a constitutional convention in Indiana was given yester day by Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University, in a speech before the Bloomington Rotary Club. The educator spoke vigorously in favor of a revision of the constitution. laying especial stress on the educational needs of the state. Dr. Bryan said that after 30 years of service on the state board of education he had come to believe that Indiana cannot have a consistent and prosperous educational policy under provisions of the present constitution. He pointed out that the state constitution makes the office of superintendent of Public Instruction, head of the public school system, a political chair elective every two years. Such arrangement had made and will continue to make a constructive educational policy impossible, he said. He said the cost of a constitutional convention will be repaid in the field of education alone, through revision of this faulty provision of the constitution relating to education.
