Amlie. former Progressive congressman from Wisconsin, was excused by a senate subcommittee which will judge hi* fitness to be a member of the Interstate commerce commission. Amite, an advocate of a "production for use" society and author of a book which suid it would be necessary for loft wing groups' to educate the public for constitu tional change to bring that about, is under Republican and Democratic tire. Hi* nomination, apparently alarming to conservatives and politically offensive to a considerable number of Wisconsin Democrats, may lead the president to anoth.r embarrassing senate defeat. The sub-committee was expected to report on Ainlie within two weeks. Some influential Democrats viewed the party disorder with apprehension for success of their ItMO presidential ticket. They saw no immediate prospect of truce between Mr. Roosevelt and conservative Democrats who oppose him on spending, nominations and a number of other issues. The United Press was informed the president had rejected advice that he ease party tension by adopting a more conciliatory atti- ’ tude toward his conservative critics. Neither was there any prospect of congressional surrender. ■ The outlook was for an increasingly stormy session with some party men hoping that angers will have cooled somewhat by the time congress meets again in IMO — the presidential year. -— o — ■ • LEADING POWERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) IMS than an hour before the first soldiers of nationalist Gen.

FEAR CREW OF I STEAMER LOST No Trace Found Os British Freighter With 37 On Board New York, Feb. 9.—(U.R) —The ' , passenger liner Veendam reached ; the last known position of the ! British freighter Maria de rlnaga in mld-Atlantic early today and found nothing. It was feared that the freighter had gone to the ' bottom with it* crew of 37 men. Nevertheless, the huge Holland-' American liner ploughed back and | forth through mountainous seas in , the gray ocean dawn, seeking some |] track tit the Maria de Darrlnaga whose radio had been silent for hours after sending a series of SOS calls and reporting that it was sinking. It was the first of four passenger liners diverted from their courses by the Maria de Larrlnaga's frenzied apeals for aid, to at rive at the position the l ist gave. She informed the other rescue ships, in a message intercepted by I radio marine's Chatman, Mass., station that she had reached the position at 5:45 a. m., had found nothing, but was searching the vicinity. This message was sent at 6:13 a. tn. The last message from the stricken ship, received by radio marine's costa) station at Chatham, Mass., i at 9:35 p. m. was: "SOS. SOS all stations ashore j and afloat please stand by.

Major Democratic amendments rejected were: 1. To provide for appointment of the state liquor commission by the governor. 2. To establish a merit system for selecting state excise police officers. 3. To charge a SSO fee for coin i music machines used in taverns 4. To permit grocery stores to sell beer, as they may under the present law.

To make the secretary of I state a member of the state commission. the other four members' to be chosen as provided in the i bill. Also rejected were proposals to , permit Lake county taverns to operate on Sundays and to extend the closing hours in first and second class cities to 1 a. in. dur ing the week and 2 a. tn. Sunday ( The bill proposes statewide mid- i night closing. Members of both parties from i urban counties joined in the drive , to extend the closing hoti'-s for i first and second class cities, 1 maintaining that if taverns had to ' cease operating at midnight it . would result in the growth of ■ bootlegging.

What’s good enough for! j the members of this house should * be good enough for the taxpay- |l era.” Rep.

The nationalist landing follow 1 ed a visit to the island by the British cruiser Devonshire, which carried a Franco representative to ' the island for surrender negotiations and departed with 450 refugees. The nationalist forces now dominate Minorca "almost entirely,” the Franco headquarters announcement said. (Minorca, a highly developed! naval base, was considered of I great importance to Britain and France which feared that it might be taken over by Italian forces' aiding Franco. The Italians al- ■ ready hold the Balearic Island of 1 Majorca but Minorca was viewed as strategically more important i in dominating Ute Meditcrrauetiuj communication lines.) .1 A later official al nationalist beadquarters said that the enemy was fleeing "ini disorder” ou Minorca.
