C„ of the senate i unemployment and relief commitj toe that water and motor carriers I had joined the railroads in a plea before the commission for a genI oral upward revision of the rate I structures. “Do you think that the granting of the increases would attract new capital?" Byrnes asked. “Yes. it will help the whole situation because it will help our I earnings." the rail head said. President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen urged congressional adoption of a

bill proposed by Rep. Maury Maverick. D.. Tex , designed to aid efforts to increase rather than reduce production. Whitney advocated: 1. Extension of federal regulation through I. C C. to include domestic waler and air transportation and full enforcement of the motor carrier act to eliminate "unfair and subsidized" competition. 2. Increase in freight and passenger fares lie authorized “contingent upon increased revenue being earmarked tor economies and improved ojerations and service." 3. Government continue to handle mail contracts with railways instead of diverting traffic to mot- ‘ or trucks. 4. Revision of the undistributed profits tax to permit railroads to provide funds in good years to carry them through depression years. 5. Amend the railroad retirement act to provide compulsory retirement at 70, optional retireI tnent at 65. “If they will give us the rates,” I’elley said, "we’ll get the business. We didn't stop buying until our revenues fell off." Pelley said that it railroads were to maintain their equipment and properties as they did in normal. times an additional 100,000 men, would be employed to furnish I supplies. SUPREME COURT i ,cnVT!VI vr> ►'(<■> v »imr nxw I the court said, will place marriage regulations on a higher plane. Tile rulhig made no mention of ' the thousands of previous marriages involving non resident coup ; les and made no attempt to de- ’ termine their legal status. “If it is the public policy that the license can only be issued to female residents of the state in the county in which they live,! why is it not just as important on I grounds of public policy that a li i cense shall not be issued to a non-1 ■ ■■ ■■■ DANGEROUS It is dangerous to sell a SUBSTITUTE for 666 just to make three or four cents more.

resident female?" the court asked. "The very fact that thousands of couples during the last few months have been rushing to Lake county, 1 Indiana, from Cook county (Chicago). Illinois, and other states to avoid the marriage regulations there, shows conclusively the wig-1 dotn of the Indiana law. “One of the great evils In the country today is the loose marriage and divorce laws," the opinion said. The court’s decision resulted i from a test case from Crown Point where Circuit Judge T. J. Sullivan issued an order restraining Lake county clerk George M. Sweigert from issuing licenses to any wo- - men except residents of the county. bwelgert appealed on the grounds the Taw did not specifically men tlon out-of-state residents. The court said the 1852 statute originally was passed to prevent hasty and secret marriages which it said “often were entered into ill-advis-ediy and to the great harm of the marriage relations which the state has an interest in upholding." authorities said the decis- ! son would mean permanent closing of the "greens," made notorious by I “gin weddings," runaway couples and midnight ventures in matri-l mony. County clerks contacted I said they would abide by the ruli tagI Gertrude Bennett. 17-year-old | daughter of a Ford Motor company I executive, and her college sweetj heart. Russell Hughes. 22, were | married at Auburn. Ind., in an 'elopement from Ypsilanti, Mich., last week. Ruth Etting, stage and screen . blues singer, testified in her di-: vorce hearing several weeks ago that her marriage to a theatrical i I agent took place at Crown Point. I After Crown Point’s marriage j I inart was closed by Judge SulliI van's injunction, much of the business transferred to Valparaiso in nearby Porter county. LOCAL PERSONS "1 yyTJYTLTT. 577? y_ ■ were unable to find any trace of i themThe men, it is believed, were under the impression that large 1 sums of money were hidden in var- . ious places about the Steele home, since they ransacked the home in their search.

50 OF NATION’S .jrO.^TlNywpFttplK, r i have convinced Mr. Roosevelt that i they came in a helpful mood and with some general Ideas for Imj proving business conditions. But I it is understood that nothing specific was discussed nor was a specific program outlined. Most lof all. it was emphasized that I neither side had sought a panacea, i quack remedy or patent medicine ; cure for business ills. There was a feeling in the conference that the current recession j is largely psychological but that I it has been aggravated by apparI ent—if possibly unreal —conflicts j between business and government. — ■ o FIND WRECKAGE OF ■ ous pilot and aerial trail blazer I across the Pacific. The naval announcement said: “Motor launch recovering parts | of wreckage which identified satis-, . tactorily as of Clipper." Searchers found an oil slick of ■ the long blue swells, naval officials j said. The trail of the slick led to , the wreckage. The flying boat was commanded I by Capt. Edwin C. Musick, the 1 greatest aerial trail blazer of mod-| ern times, and carried a crew of ! six other men. There were no' passengers aboard. The plane had ; been on the last lap of a new route between the United States and New Zealand when it vanished. At 5:37 a. m. Tuesday. Samoan time (11:37 a. m. CST) the ClipI per left Pago Pago. Two hours ' ! later, at 7:37 a. m., Capt. Musick; reported that one of the four i ; motors had developed an oil leak and he was turning back to Pago Pago. The Clipper's radio signals j continued for 50 more minutes. ! until 8:27 a. m.. presumably during which time the plane was speeding back to the island, and then they ceased abruptly. Reports that oil spots were sighted on the water 12 miles from the island were said to be “so vague as to not be admissible as clues." The supposed spots were reported seen northwest of the island and authorities here agreed that the plane must have been forced | down to the south. Almost perfect weather prevailed in the district where the search i was conducted. Visibility was good I and the sea was calm. A plane from the U. S. inine- | sweener Avocet conducted the search. The pilot was out yesterI day afternoon, and searched until dark. At dawn he was away again. Men at Pan American Airways . base here frankly admitted that . they feared the plane had sunk. They believed it might have exploded when Capt. Musick dumped i the gasoline cargo to gain more speed or altitude. All along the chain of islands I where Pan American Airways has j established bases for trans Pacific i flying, from Honolulu to Hong j Kong along the north route, and Honolulu to Auckland. New Zealand, by the south, men of the service waited hopefully today for news. In two years of Pacific flying. no Clipper before had Ireen in serious difficulty.' The scene of I this mishap was more than 6,000 miles west of the coast of South America, below the equator and VV7HEN you’re giving ** your automobile "the works”—don’t neglect the most essential need!

ence In time, nothing wax learned of the trouble in the United States until laat night. An unconfirmed report, late laat night, that the Clipper had been sighted floating in the eea 74 miles west of the Island, raised hopes for a brief time, until the source of ilu- i-iimor was traced to a
