APPROPRIATION ! BILLS SPEEDED ! UP IN SENATE Clear Obstacles Now in Way of an Early Adjournment. If,! t nitrd nr'** WASHINGTON, June 27.—The f-enate expected to clear two obstacles in the way of adjournment by passing appropriation bills today providing funds for government boards and commissions and the treasury and interior departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Few items remained to be considered in the $1,000,000,000 independent offices bill, carrying funds for the commissions and the veterans’ bureau. Senator Tasker L. Oddie (Rep., Nev.) charge of the treasury-postoffice measure, said he would try to hold the senate in session tonight until it passed that bill, too. Funds for government operations in the new fiscal year, beginning Just four days hence, are provided in eight regular appropriation bills. Only one, the interior department bill, has been finally approved and Mgiied by Presdent Hoover. Five have been passed by both houses end are in conference for adjustment of diffleuties. Consider Relief Bill Congressional leaders hope to have all appropriations in effect before the new fiscal year begins. If this is not done, the government departments will get their needed Hinds just the same, through passage of resolutions temporarily continuing present appropriations. Unemployment relief, most disputed issue before congress, was to be tackled again by conferees seeking a compromise between the house and senate $2,300,000,000 programs. President Hoover declares the public works bond issue features of both bills are “destructive,” ‘‘pork barrel” proposals. The Wagner bill, passed by the senate, asks a $500,000,000 bond issue; the Garner program, approved by the house, proposes to issue $1,191,000,000 of bonds to be retired by a special gasoline tax of one-quarter cent per gallon. Can Override Veto The conferees hoped the measure could be sent to President Hoover bv the middle of the week. If he vetoes It, enactment over his veto, nr passage of a modified bill might be completed before Saturday night. A test vole in the senate showed a 58-to-19 majority for the bond issue, well over the two-thirds necessary to override a veto. House Republicans, however, usually follow administration wishes. They would he able to sustain a veto, barring unusual defections from their ranks. As the conferees resumed w'ork, President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, estimated that 11,000,000 persons now are out of w'ork in this country. He said “hunger and despair are causing unrest among masses of our people.” Visions Grave Conditions Green predicted there would be 13,000,000 unemployed next winter — “worse than anything we have yet experienced” unless the federal government acted quickly to “set up the methods and means for providing citizens with opportunities to earn bread, shelter and heat.” Senator Charles L. McNary (Rep., Ore.) planned to try again today to break the deadlock between house and senate on the $150,000,000 government economy bill. He said he would ask reconsideration of the vote by which the senate Friday ordered the bill sent back to a conference committee for a second term, because of controversies over provisions for federal employes.

HARRY BYRD SHINES AS A ‘DOER’

Virginia Swears by Ex-Governor in Presidential Race

Followinv Is the last of a series of article* on favorite sons *ho will fleure in the Democratic national convention. BY RODNEY DITCHER N'EA Srrrir* Writer 'Convrieht. 1932. NEA Service. Inc. i VITASHINGTON, June 27. “ * Former Governor Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia s candidate for the presidency, is a “favorite son” In every sense of the term. Virginia s twenty-four delegates will vote for him at the Democratic national convention and he will control them throughout, because he unquestionably is Democratic boss of the state. Furthermore, there is a popular enthusiasm for him among Virginians, which indicates that his name is not being merely used as a hitching post, pending a political trade. Byrd is not considered more than a long shot in the contest for the presidential nomination, but he will be one of the four or five outstanding possibilities when the party picks a man to run for the vice-presidency. The fact that the party doesn’t like to pick first place candidates from southern states is his chief handicap insofar as the higher honor is concerned. He is a big man, successful in state government, in politics, in

business—including farming, and j in human relationships. A member of the Democratic national committee, he has had the respecr, and the attention of both the Roosevelt and Smith factions. He is said to have influenced Chairman to make his wet fight for a referendum rather than for repeal. Byrd was one of the first prominent southerners to urge a referendum. He shines as a “harmony man.” Long ago he united two factions i of Democracy in his state. His I referendum proposal drew commendation from both Raskob and Bishop Cannon.

age. He is one of the famous brothers. “Tom. Dick and Harry” —Dick is the famous aviator and explorer and Tom is Harry's associate in the orchard business, operating the largest private apple orchards in the world. The Byrds represent, of course, one of the “First Families in Virginia,” although the Governor has said: “The trouble with Virginia always has been too much emphasis on aristocracy.” Harry Byrd has come most into national prominence through his advocacy, at the Jefferson day dinner in Washington last April, of a decision on prohibition by a direct vote of the people. He proposed a constitutional amendment which would make that possible. nun BYRD always has been a moderate dry, and his plan is far from radically wet. But the plan does undertake to harmonize the desire of the drys for a popular vote in keeping with the intent of the Constitution, insofar as it provides for constitutional changes by two-thirds votes in congress and a three-fourths vote of the states. His proposed amendment is as follows: “The congress, whenever twothirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose an

amendment or amndements to or the repeale of Article XVIII of of the amendments to this Constitution. or to any future amendments thereof, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified at an election to be held in each of the several states on a certain day. to be designated by congress, by the majority of electors voting thereon in threefourths of the several states. “The electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for the electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislatures.” Os course, before the Byrd amendment could be effective, it would have to be passed by twothirds votes of both houses and ratified by three-fourths of the states in the manner now’ constitutionally provided. n n TJYRD was working for a tele- ■*-* phone company at the age of 15 when his father, a small town publisher, announced suspension of his paper. Harry took it over and made it pay. He was elected to a city council before he w r as 21 and in his early twenties began to invest his savings in apple-grow-ing. Today he has twenty-one orchards and about 175,000 trees. He is said to have raised 600,000 bushels of apples last year, 1 per cent of the whole normal crop of the United States and Canada. He has a cold storage plant w’hich can hold 1,500,000 bushels, the world’s largest, and markets the fruit in a number of foreign countries. Elected to the state senate at 27, he stayed there ten years and always was identified with the party organization. At 33 he was chairman of the Democratic state committee. In 1923 he headed a “pay-as-you-go” group which defeated a lobby trying to put over a $50,000,000 bond issue for roads in a state referendum. Byrd showed that eventually half the money would go to pay for the bonds. He then became a leader in development of Virginia highways. He ran for Governor in 1925, defeating Bishop Cannon's candidate, Walter Mapp, by a large majority, and refused to wear a silk hat at his inauguration. Road mileage nearly doubled in his four-year term, supported largely by a 5-cent gasoline tax. Taxes on real estate and capital investment were so reduced that Byrd is credited with bringing many new industries and investments into Virginia. HE inherited a $1,300,000 deficit when he became Governor in 1926 and changed it to a $2,000,000 surplus by 1928. Even in depression 1931 there was a surplus. He had at once demanded sweeping changes in the state government’s administration and organization. He changed the tax system completely, placed more than 100 independent agencies under a dozen modem departments and thus saved, ■with legislative ratification, an alleged SBOO 000 a year. In 1928 he put over anew constitution with forty-seven changes which included the short ballot. Some of the measures he sponsored required courage. He made the oil companies report on wholesale nd retail prices of gasoline. He fathered the most drastic antilynching law passed in any southern state. Virginia limits her Governors to a single term, but Byrd retired to his orchards with great prestige and unequaled political power. Tie Virginia assembly this year recommended him unanimously for the presidency. His hobbies are bird hunting, swimming and hiking. He married Annee Douglas Beverly of Londoun county and they have four children—Harry Flood, Westwood, Beverly and Richard Evelyn. Help Jobless to Farm By United Frets WILMINGTON. Del., June 27.

FATHER DUFFY, FAMOUS WAR CHAPLAIN, DIES Beloved Priest of ‘Fighting Sixty-Ninth’ Succumbs at New York. By United Pres* NEW YORK. June 27.—The spirit of Father Francis Patrick Duffy, beloved chaplain of the “Fighting Sixty-ninth” of the wartime Rainbow division, has rejoined the thousands of men who died on the battle fields of France where he served them. The present colonel of his old regiment was at the bedside until near the end.

1896, he was ordained a priest. Ha received honorary degrees from many institutions. He dated his military service back to Sppnish-American war days when he was first lieutenant and chaplain of the “Sixty-Ninth.” When, the regiment was ordered to the Mexican border in 1916, he went along, and “carried on” to France. Many tales are told of his service to the men, of his courage, of his tolerance of all faiths on the battlefled. He was decorated with the American distinguished service cress by the United States and with the Croix de Guerre by France for his heroism under fire when the regiment crossed the Rivrr Curco despite determined opposition from the Prussian guards.
