1 agree, however, that first efforts should be concentrated toward ; pushing through the joint resolution continuing the so-called nuisance taxes which expire June 30. The president was faced also with the necessity of dealing with two other Issues, public utilities• ' and hanking. His plan for elimination of "un- ; r.ecessar, holding companies was jeopardized In the house and It be--came Impossible to put through the Eccles banking bill in the senate. Compromises on Doth issues have been advanced. For Parts Action Washington, June 24. (U.R) —Ad-’ ministration leaders struggled to-’ day To hold party lines intact In the house for a critical test of strength this week on four major i controversial measures. Only once before this session - j on the soldiers' bonus—have oppon- 1 ents of the administration policy' mustered such strength as appear-1 ed arrayed against: 1. Amendments broadening power of the Tennessee valley authority. 2. The Wheeler-Rayburn utility holding company bill. 3. The Bland-Copeland ship sub-' sidy bill. 4. The bill continuing the federal alcohol control administration. Speaker Joseph W. Byrns', who’ i has the house working at a fast I tempo toward possible adjournment in July, placed the four bills on his list for “fast action’’ this week. Extended debate, however, ' may make completion- of -the pro- • gram this week impossible. The bitterest tights, and the • ones expected to give the house ! leadership its most severe test, were expected over -the deal’s , powr program — the TVA amend- • meats and the ■ bill. ' 1 > Compromises from administration, t demands were necessary to bring - both bills out of committee last ; week. They had been held there t by administration opponents for months. House leaders, however, i were not bound to support those

compromises on the floor. They may appeal to President Roosevelt for support In lighting for hl's power program. House committees "pulled the teeth” of both the TVA "yardstick’’ and the holding company elimination bills. Rep. Sam Rayburn. D., Tex., coi author of the holding company bill, and Rep, John J. McSwain, D. 8. C., In charge of the TVA bill, both ’ predicted hard floor fights over the measures reported out by committees over which they presided ns ’ chairmen. The house interstate commerce I committee removed the elimination features of the utility holding com- ’ puny bill and substituted regular tion by the securities and exchange , commission. The house military affairs comi jjilttee reduced bonding powers ot (TVA from $100,000,000 to $50,000,- ’ OttO and otherwise restricted the scope ot the authority. Both bills have been passed by I the senate in virtually the form demanded by President Roosevelt. ■ He was represented as determined Ito veto the TVA bill if it reaches him with the house commitee version intact. PROMISE SWIFT CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE rendered late tomorrow afternoon. Although principal evidence against Thompson Is his own | confession, obtained after 24 hours of withering police questioning, he will not be brought before the jury. Champion said. The death ■ penalty will be demanded. , "We have enough evidence otherwise for a first degree indictment." he explained. "I don’t want to risk losing him to th- crowd.” When he made his confession, Thompson indicated he was ready , to plead guilty and take his pun- : ishment, police said, but later the . youth’s mother, Mrs. Charles Whiteside, said she would retain ■ counsel and fight the case in his , behalf. • j Thompson’s arrest came three

days after Mildred's bnilsed body was found In a lonely ravine in j the cemetery. According io his I subsequent confession, he had | driven the girl to the cemetery | and attacked her. "She bit me wheu 1 made love lio her." ho told police. "I was i angry and struck her. 1 didn't know she was dead. I swear 1 didn't. 1 threw her into the ditch I and drove away." Thompson wao employed as a [ machinist at the Caterpillar TraoI tor company, where Mildred's ’ father also is employed. Police , l>< ciime suspicious of him when | his employers reported he did not show up for work Monday. Several Peoria girls then told how he had tried to force his attentions on them. I Employes of the tractor comi pany held an informal mans meeting Saturday, swearing vengeance against the youth. o ’ Local Stores Add Room To Quarters Th ■ Vitz Gift Shop and the Singer Sewing machine co.npany, located at 112 West Monroe stri et. have enlarged to include the room e. «t cf the former shop and have been redecorated.
