April 4.—'Threats of filibuster against the administrations permanent air mail bill were heard m the senate today, as Democratic leaders prepared to make the measure “unfinished business" on the legislative calendar. Senator Simeon D. Fess. Ohio, leader of Republican forces opposed to President Roosevelt's air policies, announced there would be “a lot of talk” before, the bill could gain senate approval. He already has delivered more than a half dozen speeches on the subject. Mr. Fess promised to consume many hours by reading the transcript of testimony by former Post-master-General Walter F. Brown and others before the special senate air mail investigating committee. Speedy Action Advocated Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson said tne bill probably would be given legislative, right-of-way as soon a* the senate disposed of the pending revenue bill. He anticipated prolonged debate, but appeared confident of passage. .Senators Kenneth D. McKellar fDem., Tenn > and Hugo L. Black • Dem., Ala.t, authors of the measure, indicated they would urge speedy consideration so as to eliminate necessity of awarding temporary contracts. If the bill is passed by April 20, arrangements by the. postoffice department for temporary private bids will be cancelled. Developments which brought the air mail situation hack into a prominent position included: Farley Troposal Attacked An attack by Representative Clyde Kelly *Rep., Pa t upon PostmasterGeneral James A. Farley s proposed plan to advertise for bids on temporary contracts.

Introduced by Representative. John S. Wood 'Deni., Ga.), of a new air mail bill, providing a nonpartisan federal aviation commission with authority to regulate air lines.

STOCK MARKET BILL DELAYED Conspiracy Hinted as Fights Imperil Fate of Measure. By 1 rnirrl Pm>> WASHINGTON. April 4.- Squabbling among members of the house and senate committees considering the stock market control bill today imperiled the fate of that measure and caused hints by its sponsors that a conspiracy existed to kill it. If such a conspiracy exists it appeared to have accomplished the purpose of delaying indefinitely a report to either house of congress. Consideration of margin provisions, violently opposed by stock exchange representatives, threw the house committee into a deadlock. It was broken when Chairman Sam Raburn of the house appointed a subcommittee to work out a substitute for this section. The bill now provides a minimum margin of 60 per cent for all but non-volatile securities. Some members of the house committee favor a flat 33 1-3 per cent margin. In the senate a committee meeting broke up after barely defeating an amendment, bv Senator Thomas P. Gore (Dem., Okla.t, to eliminate the section announcing the congressional policy to control speculation in the public interest. While not, involving a ma jor provision of the bill, this section was co- -'''red vital by those sponsoring the bill. HELD ON GUN CHARGE City Woman Arrested for Shooting Within City Limits.

CITY MAN SCRATCHES ITCHING ANKLE AND OPENS BLOOD VESSEL

Howard Taylor. 51, was sitting comfortably on his front porch at 80$ South Illinois street, enjoying the balmy fragrance of the early evening. With great satisfaction and a muffled sigh of relipf, he took off his shoes and propped them up against the railing. wiggling his toes facilely. He felt a mild- prickling on his left ankle. The more he thought about it, the more it itched. He reached down and began scratching. half aware of the itching and half aware that spring had returned. So intense had become his absent-minded scratching that suddenly he plopped his chair firm on the porch and ran into the house. He had broken a blood vessel in his ankle wdth his too earnest scratching. He was sent to city hospital. Indiana Sheriff Dies By United Prrs* MADISON, Ind..
