GARNER’S AID BILL ASSURED HOOVER VETO House Democrats to Speed Measure Despite Lash Applied by President. CALLED ‘PORK BARREL’ '‘Unexampled Raid on U. S. Treasury.’ Says Statement of Executive. Srrippt-ffotcard Sartpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 28—D*moCratic leaders of the house went forward today with plans for pacing the $2,147,000,000 Garner relief bill, in spite of a scathing de-, jiunciation from President Hoover, interpreted here as foreshadowing a Certain veto if the measure ever j Should reaeh the White House. Hearings on the bill will begin ; fTuesday before the house ways and , means committee. On Thursday, at the concluding j Session, the administration will be invited to express its bitter opposition. The bill may be called up ior passage on the floor of the house Friday or Saturday. Speaker John Garner in confident bf solid Democratic support for his t-elicf plan, in spite of Hoover’s statement that he knows “man? members Os both parties will oppose this bill.” Call It Rig Pork Barrel ' Hoover's denunciation of the ; (Darner plan charged that it would rreate a deficit in the budget that could be met only with more taxes *nd more federal bond issues.” and added. “That makes balancing the budget hopeless.” He also denounced the bill as the frnost gigantic pork barrel ever proposed.’* Garner, on the other hand, points out that the one-fourth of a cent a gallon gasoline tax he proposes to levy will raise more than twice the amount needed to pay interest and carrying charges on the billion dollars' worth of bonds he would Issue (for federal public works. The principal difference between the two points of view on a balanced budget lies in the matter of increas- j Ing the public debt, though this is not brought out clearly in either statement. Estimates Cost Too High While the gasoline tax would prevent unbalancing the federal budget, j bo far as current expenditures in 1933 are concerned, the amount of bonds issued for such of those public works as are not revenue-pro-ducing would be added to the public debt. However, the administration plan for “balancing” the budget does not Include any sum for the annual debt retirement payment. Hoover in his message estimated that the interest and upkeep of postoffice buildings to be constructed under the Garner plan would cost •14.000.000 a year, while rent and upkeep of buildings now’ in use amounts to less than $3,000,000. Garner figures, however, that his gasoline tax will yield $42,000,000 a year, only half of which will be needed for Interest, with the rest uvailable for maintenance of completed projects. Senate Machine Speeds Up Meanwhile. senate Democrats were preparing to speed up committee action on their relief bill, with a slightly larger total than that proposed by Garner, but with only half as large a public works program. Hearings, set for Wednesday, may f>o concluded on that day, and the bill sent to the senate calendar (Without further delay. According to present Indications, ihe senate will pass the Wagner bill, and the house the Garner bill, probably with slight modifications to each. The two bills then will be Bent to conference, where a compromise measure probably will be drafted. The danger of a presidential veto probably will g;ve the Wagner bill a better chance of eventual Adoption. Hoover, in addition to denouncing the Garner plan as endangering a balanced budget, also characterized it as "the most gigantic pork barrel ever proposed to the American congress, and an unexampled raid on the public treasury.” Hoover I .ashes Measure “It apparently is expected that the cupidity of the towns and sections will demand that their congressmen and senators vote for this bill.” said Hoover. “I Just do not believe that such lack of intelligence or cupidity exists amongst the people of the United States. . . . Our nation was not founded on the pork barrel, and it has not become great by political log rolling. "I hope that those many members of congress of both parties who, I know. will oppose this bill, will receive the definite support of the people of their districts in resisting it" ACQUIT N. Y.

One Man Driven Mad by His Fight for Life Before Freighter Sinks. By Unit'd Prat BOSTON, May 28.—Stories of skill and courage, including that of one man driven mad by his fight for life in the flooded hull of the steamer Grecian, were brought here today by survivors aboard the City of Chattanooga, which sank the freighter Friday. Vernon Parker, one of the twen-ty-nine survivors landed here on the City of Chattanooga, was trapped in the engine room when the Grecian was rammed. Water poured In on him from above, blocking his only exit. Tantalizing, fear-provoking shouts of struggling men on deck reached him as he fought for ten minuter, in the swirling waters to climb a ladder that led to safety and life. Fear Drives Survivor Mad He reached the deck, blinded and choked by water. He fell exhausted. Then he became delirious, believing himself still fighting his battle for life. For three hours fellow sailors held him. until his delirium was stopped by hypodermic injections. Four seamen perished in the crash off Block Island. Three others were injured so painfully that they were transferred to the marine hospital on Martha’s Vineyard. Os the twenty-nine survivors still aboard the Chattanooga when she docked today, eight were suffering injuries. Sharing hero honors in the rescues were Captain C. G. Borum of the Chattanooga, who with full steam ahead managed to keep the prow of his vessel stuffed firmly into the gaping hole it had torn in the Grecian's side amidship, and a Negro fireman on the Grecian. Two Heroes Share Honors The Chattanooga’s bow was enough of a stopper to keep the foundering craft afloat for fourteen minutes. During that time, the Grecian’s lookout, Tom Nottage, a lanky, rawboned Negro from Baltimore, dared death by going below, and arousing those who had slept through the crash. “She was shipping water like Niagara Falls,” Nottage recounted hours later. “We didn’t have much time.” But he stayed below long enough to make sure that all hands were on deck. After twenty-four men had climbed aboard the Chattanooga over its bow. Captain Borum tacked away and the Grecian sank at once. Meantime, a lifeboat had been lowered, and all but four of those pitched into the sea were picked up alive. TWO GARAGES LOOTED Nearly $350 in Equipment Obtained in Burglaries.

She said her father didn’t steal it, but with the owner's permission took It to Detroit in an effort to sell it. "On April 7," she continued, “two policemen—maybe they were detec- ; tives—came to get father. They told him he had stolen It. He hadn't at all. “Father signed extradition papers without knowing what they were. Clifford went to a lawyer, and we got the Governor to refuse tor sign them. “Then they arrested him under the Dyer act, which is a federal law about stealing automobiles, and they want to take him to Missouri. “I am going to ask the President not to let them take him. I’m just going to tell him what father has done, and that he is net guilty of what they ai% accusing him.”

Brazil, May 24.—<By Indian runner to Diamantino) —Within an hour after I have started an Indian runner off to Diamantino with this message, the Stephan Rattin expedition seeking Colonel P. H. Fawcett, British explorer, lost in the great jungle, will have plunged into the heart of the vast, unexplored Brazilian interior. We finished our canoes after a week of torture for all except Rattin. This man, who has spent fourteen years in the Jungle, and is confident that he saw Colonel Fawcett held prisoner at an Indian village, has a charmel life. Even the hordes of mosquitoes that swarmed around us day and night did not bother him. Preperations for leaving this “city of the dead,” whose once palatial homes and beautiful business buildings were left to rot after the collapse of the rubfer market, was heartbreaking, and backbreaking.

Crosswhite’s car was recovered today in five feet of water.

The going was so tough that Dan Fangen, the son of a British rancher, who has lived many years in this section, packed up and went home. He said the risk of going into the Interior was too great. We also are short of other men, who failed to show up. They are Paraguayan hunters, familiar with trekking through the Jungle. Rattin counted on them for considerable help. This shortage of man power made the immediate future of the rescue expedition very doubtful, but Rattin was confident. He is determined to reach the Indian village where he saw a white man, bearded and grown after years in the jungle, who whispered “Englishman,’’ and told Rattin to advise British authorities of his whereabouts. And now we have broken camp. Our provisions are packed in crude bark canoes, and we are about to start down the Arinos river. Rattin cried, “All aboard!” I Here we go! *&■
