JAMES MATTERN LONG OVERDUE Ba (I Weather Prevents Search For Flier 24 Hours Overdue Nome. Alaska. .June Hi —(U.R)— Low clouds, fog and poor visibility prevented a search by filers here today for James Mat'crn more •han 24 hours overdue on his projected solo flight from Siberia. Two coast guard cutters were in Boring Sea along the route Mattern planned to fly when he left Siberia on the most dangerous nart of his round the world . fiteht. nearly 48 hours ago But the guardsmen had no lead i to follow in a hunt for the flier and they said it would take them months to make a cursory search of the hundreds of miles of water, islands, and ice packs along the Alaskan coast. Aviators believed the Texan encountered fog as %i' south as the Aleutian Island chain. Ho probably faced hours of blind flying, they said. Mattern might have landed at some isolated Siberian village. Possibly bo veered from bis course far from Nome to strike for the Alaskan mainland. He might have pressed on to the interior of Alaska toward Fairbanks when fog prevented him from landing here He possibly landed on one of the numerous unpopulated islands in the Bering Sea. Residents of Nome recalled that other aviators encountered trouble on the route, but none met death. Jacob Licchtv Loses 36 Younir Turkeys Jacob L.

If the experiment in Wisconsin, planned to result in a write-down of 30 per cent in farm mortgages, is successful, the program will be extended to other states, Morgenthau said. The write-down of mortgages , in Wisconsin will “unfreeze the I whole state” Morgenthau pre dieted. The plan will be put into operation immediately, he said. The move is the first to make use of the $2,000,000,000 bond issue provided in the farm mort-gage-aid act. The issue is designed to enable farmers to substitute the low interest bonds for a major part of their first mortgages. , The farmer would benefit directly from the refinancing of indebtedness, and lower inter.*si rales. Morgenthau said the Reconstruction Finance Corporation had agreed to purchase $35,000,000 of the $2,000,000,000 (Bi bond issue to be floated for national mortgage refinancing. Interest of 4 per cent on these bonds is guaranteed by the treasury. The $35,000,000 will refinance $50,000,- ((’< LNTINfI’,I) ON’ PAOI! l-’ot'lO MAN CONFESSES MURDERING TWO Hymera Man Confesses Killings For Which Another Was Convicted Sullivan. Ind..

June 16 ( U R) The eniergencv session of congress summoned March 9 Io grasp the country from the brink of economic chaos whs heuten into adjournment todav bv ;i smashing administration victory on reduction of war veterans’ coinoensation. The unnrecedented peacetime session ended at 1:21 a. m. The administration lashed its majority into grumbling order and I jammed through the senate a few minutes after midnight a compromise on veterans economy which had been riiected only 24 hours previously. The vote was 45 to 36. A docile house of representatives abandoned songs and impromptu skits and speedily approved the bill, the net effect of which is to reduce total payments to veterans from more than $91)0,0110.000 to about $600,000,000. Speaker Rainey and Vice President Garner then signed it and the last measure passed in this unexampled session was sent to the White House. In three months and one week this congress enacted laws deeply affecting the welfare, pocketbooks and manner of life of every Indij vidual in the country. It launched a titanic drive against unemployment with measures designed to create work for 4.000.000 within the next three ' months bv spreading employment in industry and starting vast public works. It swept the country off the gold standard and authorized inflation by every conceivable method. It hauled J I’. Morgan to Wash ington and forced him to divulge his innermost business secrets. It launched a great farm relief experiment, legalized beer, passed two tax bills, voted $500,000,000 to feed and clothe the destitute, aided home owners, reformed the bnuk system, and moved to reorganize' the railroads. With fewer words of debate than in the past have been uttered in behalf of gi asshopper eradication. it appropriated in one hill the sum of $3,600,000,000 (Bl mostly for public works - enough to liuve pin'd government expenses for three prewar years. Tn President Roosevelt was voted more power than has been gained by any other man by consi nt of a representative legislative bodv. A moment before adjournment the congress received the thanks of the president. A letter from th" White House expressed appreciation for sincere and wholehearted cooperation. Mi'. Roosevelt said the achievements of the special session had proved that the American government can rise to an ethergency The president wished the legislators a hanpv vacation. He will start on his own delayed holiday within a day or two. "I move that the senate do now ■uljoiir' sine die." rumbled the deep voice of Senate Majority Lender Robinson after the President's letter had been read.
