SENATE, HOUSE DEADLOCK ON FAIM RELIEF Conferees Unable to Agree on How to Kill Debenture Plan. STOP SECRECY DEBATE But Vote Is Expected on Proposed Restriction of Executive Sessions. BY PAUL ft. MALLON, t Prfis Mid ( oirrspondrnt WASHINGTON. May 24 —Deadlock over the debenture clause of the farm relief bill was reached today by the committees of the house and senate when they held their fourth meeting on the plan which is strongly opposed by President Herbert Hoover and the house. The United Press was informed the house committee stands 4 to 1 against taking the debenture pian back to the house for a vote, while the senate committee stands 3 to 2 on agreeing to recede from the debenture plan provided house conferees aeree to take it back to the house, where it faces certain defeat. This peculiar situation arose in the secret meetings because house conferees want to avoid a direct ■vote In the house on the debenture provision. Question Senate Authority They contend the senate was without constitutional authority to enact such legislation. Chairman Charles Haugen of the house agrirulture committee is the only member of the house who is said to be in favor of a vote. The senate conferees have taken the position the issue can not be brought back to the senate, but the house conferees are hopeful that if the present deadlock is continued a day or two longer, the senate conferees will weaken and seek another vote in the senate. The complicated situation makes it obvious that the debenture clause j is to be eliminated as anticipated, if j any farm bill is to be enacted. Thus far the conferees have not discussed one sentence of the administraion bill with the exception of the debenture plan. The house conferees refuse to consider minor changes in the bill until the debenture. clause is disposed of. The senate conferees want to get a satisfactory bill in shape exclusive of the debenture plan and they say if this is done, they may submit the matter to the senate. Secrecy Debate Stopped Meantime the senate clamped the lid down on further debate over the investigation by the senate rules committee of publication by the United Press of the West and Lenroot secret roll calls. Under a unanimous consent agreement reached several days ago. debate was confined to the pending reapportionment bill, which is expected io pass late today or Saturday. Senator James E. Watson, leader, deplored the extraneous debate and expressed the hope that the senate would handle legislative business so a recess can be taken next week. Senate Wesley L. Jones, assistant Republican leader, immediately told Watson he expected the senate to vote on his amendment making less strict the secrecy rule, before il takes a recess. Senator William Borah likewise expressed hope ‘•the senate can do something before recessing, because it has done nothing yet.” The house was concerned with the tariff bill, preparing to adopt amendments satisfactory to the farm bloc, so the tariff measure can be passed next Tuesday.

LESLIE IS GIVEN HUGE ‘PAY HIKE’ FOR ‘EXPENSES’ .SIO,OOO a Year Is Allotted to Governor to Take Care of Bills Around Home; Jackson Received Only $2,400. Governor Harry G'. Leslie lias become one of the best paid Governors in the United States, the acts of the 1929 legislature, published this week, discloses. Whereas his predecessor, Ed Jackson, received SB,OOO a year salary and $2,400 a year in installments of S2OO a month for maintenance of the Governor's mansion at Fall Creek and Pennsylvania street, Leslie gets SB,OOO salary and SIO,OOO a year for upkeep of the mansion. Leslie gets the SIO,OOO in installments of $833 a month. His salary amounts to $666 a month. There are no strings attached to the $833 a month. The Governor gets it for "maintenance for Governor’s house and household,” according to the law, and he is the sole arbiter of what was meant by that.

Leslie explained that he well can use the SIO,OOO, since he is paying salaries of the maids and cook3, buying new furniture and furnishings, paying light and gas bills and all the other little odds and ends that any husband and father bumps into. Cites Great Needs Leslie said a lot of things had to be done to the mansion, such as : vanishing floors and buying new rugs, davenports, hangings and the like. "When we took up the old carpet on the second floor a lot of moths flew out," he said. The legislature in 1927 appropriated $6,000 for the specific use of Ed Jackson for “governor’s residence, painting and constructing new sewers. and necessary repairs.” The appropriation was increased, Leslie said, "so Indiana will not be classed as a hick state. A Governor has to go around and make speeches, visit institutions and entertain now and then.” The SIO,OOO is in addition to $4,800 for "equipment,” which was spent by the Governor some time ago for a new official Lincoln car. Gas Bills in Another Fund On official trips, however, the Governor does not have to pay for gasoline or train fare .out of the SIO,OOO "household maintenance fund.” He said that when on official trips he may take the money out of the $200,000 Governor’s emergency contingent fund. Ea Jackson got SBO,OOO a year for emergency contingency fund. The appropriation far removes Indiana from classification of “hick state.” comparison with salaries of Governors in surrounding states shows. Illinois pays $12,000 a year flat salary; Ohio, SIO,C'O; Kentucky $6,500 and a home; Michigan, $5,000; Pennsylvania, SIB,OOO. New York pays $25,000 and the executive mansion; Texas, $4,000; South Dakota and Vermont. $3,000, and New Hampshire, $4,000.

FIGHT TO SAVE BOY KILLER, 6, FROM PRISON Child Given Fifteen Years in Reformatory for Slaying Playmate. 'PRATTLES IN COURT Sits on Father’s Knee as Counsel Argue Over His Fate. If ii United Press PAINTS VILLE, Ky., May 24. Counsel for 6-year-old Carl Mahan left no stone unturned today in an effort to block imprisonment of the child for the slaying of Cecil Van Hoos, 8, a playmate. Appearing in Johnson county circuit court, the boy’s attorney, John P. Wheeler, filed a suit in equity seeking to set aside the reformatory , sentence imposed upon the lad. A jury convicted Carl here Thursi day while the boy sat on nis father’s ! knee unable to grasp the significance i of the proceedings. | Sentence—fifteen years in the I state reformatory—was pronounced |by Judge J. W. Butcher, who inj structed the jury they must find the ! boy guilty, if they determined he ; knew what he was doing at the time of the slaying. Slew Playmate With Gun Carl shot Cecil with a shotgun after the two engaged in a quarrel over a piece of scrap iron. Cecil ' died with seventeen shots in his small body. Th jury decided that the 6-year-old hoy knew what he was doing when he ran into his home, climbed up on a chair and took down his father's shotgun to shoot his chum. Accordingly, the jury recommended tha* Carl be found guilty of manslaughter. The defense argues that Kentucky has no law under which a child under 10 can be sent to a reformatory, no matter how serious his offense. Carl sat on his father’s lap while the court proceedings went on. He smiled shyly at the jurors and at court attaches who spoke to him. He listened to a witness recount the shooting, telling how Cecil started to run behind a tree as Carl laboriously pulled the heavy shotgun up to aim it. Cecil did not reach the tree. Prattles t-o Father The child defendant prattled to his father while the story was told and while Judge J. W. Butcher instructed the jury. The case first was taken to the juvenile court, but when no decision could be reached a jury was impanelled to decide what should be done with the child. If the sentence is upheld, Carl’s boyhood will be spent in a reform school and he would not get his liberty until he became of age. Governor Is Mum 81l United Press __ FRANKFORT, Ky., May 24. Governor Flem D. Sampson today declined to comment on the fifteenyear reformatory sentence imposed at Paintsville, on 6-year-old Carl Mahan, found guilty of manslaughter in the killing of a boy playmate. The Governor said he would “prefer not to be interviewed on a case which might be brought before me for official action.” Attorney-General J. W. Camack also declined to comment. DISCUSS SMOKING BAN United Brethren May Bar Ministers From Tobacco. Bu United Press LANCASTER, Pa., May 24.—Reluctant to deny- members of the church, as well as the pastors, the right to use tobacco, delegates to the thirtieth quadrennial general conference of the United Brethren church today planned to continue discussion of the smoking ban placed on the ministers.

Becoming a Physician Is Long, Hard, Costly Task IN the old days, learning how to be a doctor was something like learning how to be a lawyer. The young aspirant studied, for a year or so in a medical college, got some practical experience as assistant to a physician—and then he was ready to hang out his shingle. It's a different matter now. Long years of study are necessary, as well as the expenditure of a great deal of money. It's a complicated affair, and no young man can afford to make the start without knowing exactly what’s ahead of him. With graduation time in high cshool and college approaching, this question is uppermost in the minds of thousands of young people. To answer it, The Times has asked Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, to write a series of six articles, telling just what the steps are in fitting one's self for the medical profession. These articles tell just how much time the procedure takes, howmuch money it costs and what the prospective doctor can expect to earn in his first years of practice. They are timely and, of course, authoritative. The first of them will appear Saturday on the editorial page of The Times. Watch for it. Whether you’re contemplating a medical education or not, you'll find the series extremely Interesting.

SCHOOL DAY IS 57 YEARS

“ Grandma” Eyes Clock Half Century

BY ARCH STEINEL "t TURRYI or you'll be late for FI school.” Fifty-seven years of eyeing the clocks and giving out this warning as a matin ritual to those she sent out to be educated or to educate have left Mrs. Emma Bradshaw, 83, of 3415 Park avenue, tolerant of youth, conscious that years of mending for those who “go to school”—is just her job and a mighty good one at that. From the time she was twentysix "Grandma” Bradshaw —she wears that title in a queenly, kindly W2y—has patched stockings, fixed noon lunches, and, as she would put it, "made her youngsters skedaddle to school.” Today as she sat on the front porch of her home and deftly plied her needle, she related, in soft Kentucky accents, her service at the altar of Minerva—the Goddess of Intelligence. a a tt ‘ t EE was the first boy that I Lj sent to s. little country school near Pittsboro, Ind. He came to me, an orphan, not long after my marriage in 1870. 1 helped him with his reading and arithmetic for, prior to my marriage, I taught in a little school near Carlyle, Ky. "Then Lee left our home and Margaret—a niece of mine—came to stay with us and her lunches were packed, and she was made to look nice—for school,” said "Grandma” as she caressed the phrase "for school.” "My children came on. There was Mrs. Jeannette Williams, public school teacher—the daughter I live with now, you know—then Daniel, who lives here, and Forrest, who teaches now in Shawnee, Okla., and Edith died when she was 24, and Annie Laurie, who lives with me now, and the last one was Courtland. "Each one went to school, each one brought, his or her grades for my approval, their little childish differences—from school.” n u a 14 A ND when they were all x grown, three became teachers, and alternately I sent them back to school to teach other children. When my husband died in 1906 I came from Pittsboro to Indianapolis to live with my daughter, Mrs. Williams. Not a year has passed since then but that each schol morning I’ve seen her go off to school, that I don’t darn something for her, mend a dress.” "Grandma” is tolerant of the present generation. "They’re not bad. Course, I can’t understand the smoking of cigarets,” she amplified.

MACHINIST AND COWBOY NEAR PLANERECORD Young Texas Fliers Begin Sixth Day Over Air Field. HANG GRIMLY TO TASK Wives Watch Anxiously at Hangar as Men Undergo Gruelling Grind. Bit United Press FT. WORTH, Tex., May 24.—'Two exultant young fliers, one a former railroad machinist and the other an ex-cowboy, guided their monoplane Ft. Worth firmly on its montonous course through a cloudless sky over Meacham field today, their endurance record goal almost in sight. Reg Robbins, 26, and Jim Kelly, 23, started their sixth day in the air with the rebuilt plane at 11:33 a. m. today Their immediate goal is to remain aloft until 7:13 p. m., Saturday, when they would have established a mark one hour longer than the 150 hours 40 minutes set early in January by the army plane Question Mark. Considering that the Question Mark had behind it the entire resources of the United States army, including its many crack pilots to select from, while the two young fliers guiding the Ft. Worth have practically their entire fortunes tied up in their ship and one of them has only six months’ flying experience, the flight appears all the more remarkable to those here who have been following it. Is Self-Taught Flier Robbins is a former railroad mechanic. While working for the Frisco railroad, he began “tinkering ai'ound” with airplanes and finally managed to buy an old army ship. He passed his pilot test in a short time and then took to barnstorming, working part time with a flying circus. He calls himself a "self-taught” flier, since he had practically no instruction. He has been doing commercial flying here., having purchased the Ryan Ft. Worth plane. Kelly is a former cowboy, working on a ranch in Caddo county, west of here. His flying experience is limited to that obtained while attending the Texas airport flying school here and what little he has had since being graduated from the school six months ago. Chief among the assets required for such an accomplishment as remaining aloft more than 151 hours, the two men passess "nerve, determination, supreme confidence in themselves and their planee, and the knowledge that all Texas is cheering them,” an official at the airport here said.

Wives Watch Anxiously Down on the ground, with eyes strained upward, a small group gathers at the Ft. Worth's hangar every day. They are friends of the two fliers, assembled to cheer two anxious women who are under almost as much strain as are Robbins and Kelly. These two are the wives of the fliers—Mrs. Kelly a bride of six weeks—and they are showing the strain of their watching perhaps as much as are the two men. Fearful that some disaster may overtake their husbands, Mrs. Robbins and Mrs. Kelly keep in almost constant touch with the airport, telephoning from their homes at night. Attendants at the air field say the two must be getting even less sleep than the fliers, as they call at all hours of the day and night. Kelly ! and Robbins take turns at the conj trols of the monoplane, sleeping as much as possible between times in a hammock strung in the cabin. The only thing that need worry the men, ground crews say, is failure of rocker arms to get sufficient lubrication. It was this trouble which brought the Question Mark down. But Kelly is guarding against that. He takes a precarious perch out on the tiny cat-walk, swinging down under the nose of the plane to I grease the arms. Danger Increases As hour after hour is added to the ! plane s total, the danger of someI thing going wrong increases. The I sturdy Wright Whirlwind motor | had traveled a distance equal to I circling the globe twice, before the endurance flight began. That the flier s realize the danger was evidenced by their acceptance of parachutes lowered from their refueling plane yesterday. Efforts are being made to raise $15,000 for the four men engaged in the venture. Kelly and Robbins i each would receive $5,000 and K. K. Hoffman and H. S. Jones, the refueling crew, $2,500 each.
