Fletcher Florida's "Grand Old Dies in Capital Veteran Senator Succumbs at Home to Heart Attack SENATE RECESSES Roosevelt Leads Offcial Washington in Paying Tribute WASHINGTON, June 17 (A) Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, praised as Florida's "grand old man," died here today as he had hoped to die harness." He was 77 years old. The death of the veteran senator -one of the most popular men on Capitol Hill- -plunged official Washington into mourning. The Senate, in which he served for 27 years, immediately suspended its rush toward an adjournment of Congress, recessing until tomorrow in. tribute to him.

Senator Fletcher died of a heart attack a little more than a month after his colleague, Senator Park Tramwell of Florida. The men had served together in the Senate for almost 20 years. Trammel died May 8. Funeral plans were still incomplete, but Fletcher's office said services probably would be held in Jacksonville Sunday. The senator died at his home about 10:30 A.

M. as he was preparing to leave for the capitol for another day of hard work. He apparently felt normal when he arose, but after breakfast showed some distress and a physician was called. Only the physician and a maid were with him when he died, but Mrs. FLetcher and -one daughter, Mrs.

Nell Smith -Gordon, were in the apartment. The senator's other daughter, Mrs. T. J. Kemp' of St.

Louis, was immediately notified. Worked for Ship Canal Colleagues of the senator said the prolonged battle he had made during recent weeks for the Florida ship canal undoubtedly contributed to his death. Fletcher was instrumental in getting the original allocation for the huge canal project last year and had since defended it in and out of the Senate. He was genuinely disappointed when the Lenater a few monts ago refused by 8 single vote to appropria ate additional money for it. Only two weeks ago, he fought the battle in the Senate again and won.

An amendment was added to the relief bill authorizing a new study of the canal and additional funds for it if the report should be favorable. President Roosevelt led in paying tribute. "The country has lost an able and conscientious servant in the death of Senator Fletcher," the Chief Executive said. Unusual tribute was paid in the Senate before it recessed. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic leader, said that during Fletcher's long service he had "exmeplified exceptional diligence and notable Senator Loftin, who succeeded Senator Trammell, officially announced the death to the Senate and with breaking voice added that he was "truly known as Florida's grand old man." Loftin disclosed that he had tried to, persuade Senator Fletcher Monday to go home because he did not seem physically able to work, but the veteran legislator refused and "remained here steadfastly, performing his duty to the last." Senators Pay Tribute Many senators, as they paid tribute to their colleague, remembered his work as chairman of the Banking and Currency committee since March: 1933.

AAlready well past: 70 vears of age, and not as active as in his earlier years, Fletcher took charge of what became the most important committee in Congress. He presided during the Pecora investigation of Wall Street and the big New York banking houses. Then followed the most significant and technical legislation of the New Deal banking laws, stock market control legislation, and securities act. More of the New Deal legislation went through Senator Fletcher's committee than any other on Capitol Hill. He worked day and night and kept his committee in session almost continuously for two sessions of Congress.

THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, Common Council Submits Airport Project to WPA Total Cost of Work Under Plans Would Be City's Share Would Amount to Some Aldermen Opposed to Job By FRED CAROTA The Common Council I last night unanimously authorized dispatch of an application containing specifica4 tions for development of the Glens Falls airport at Floyd Bennett Field to the Works Progress Administration in Washington. The total -post of the project is estimated at $71,220 in the plans which were drawn up by Superintendent of Public Works Harold R. Slade. Of this amount the Federal government through the WPA would furnish 716 and the sponsor's contribution would aggregate $22,504. The share includes $14,324 for materials, city's $5,928 for truck and tractor hire and $500 for miscellaneous equipment.

The project includes the city's share of $8,000 towards the $18,000 which would be the cost of the purchase of Brownell Field, the proposed site. The local Chamber of Commerce has agreed to provide $10,000 towards the cost of acquiring the site. A wooden hangar, 100 feet long and 80 feet wide, runways and general landscaping of the field, is provided for in the plans. After being considered by Washington authorities, the application for WPA funds will be returned to the Council and if approved by WPA will be again acted upon by the Council. The original airport development plan included assistance from the Federal government through the Public Works Administration which would have given the city an outright grant of forty-five per cent of the total cost.

However, PWA funds for this type of project became exhausted and several weeks ago the aldermen de- TAX CONFEREES URGED TO HURRY Congressional Leaders Hope for Adjournment Saturday; Some Are Confident WASHINGTON, June 17. (P)-Apparently unperturbed by failure of Senate-House conferees to untangle the tax snark congressional leaders spoke with new emphasis today of pushing congress to adjournment by Saturday night. Their plans pivoted I entirely on the tax bill, however, and when an agreement would be reached on it was strictly a matter of conjecture. After wrangling for two hours today over the key corporation tax features of the measure, some confrees said a compromise was farther away then it was yesterday. Others said a break was likely at any time, but that it would have to come promptly if congress was not to keep working past Saturday.

Another night session of the conferees was ordered tonight. Chairman Doughton (D- NC), of the House conferees said he thought the widely divergent tax programs of the Senate and House were being brought into closer proximity. Senate Majority Leader Robinson of Arkansas said he was confident congress could quit by Saturday night. At the other end of the Capitol, Speaker Bankhead asserted: "It looks very much better for adjournment of congress by Saturday night. If an agreement is reached on the tax bill, you will see us put on the steam here in the Connally Is Pessimistic In contrast, however, Senator Connally (D-Tex), left 8 morning session of the full tax conference committee with word to reporters that there was "no chance" for a Saturday night adjournment.

A final conference agreement today on the $2,370,000,000 deficiency-relief bill placed squarely on the tax conference committee the job of clearing the adjournment path. The House wants a corporation tax graduated according to of earnings withheld from distribution. The Senate prefers a flat corporate income tax with a relatively low supertax on undistributed profits. The Senate recessed today until 10 A. M.

tomorrow because of the death of Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida. But leaders said that action would not jeopardize adjournment plans. Some Senators thought, though, that the recess had impaired changes, already somewhat slender, for. enactment of the Guffey-Vinson coal control bill and ship subsidy legislation, neither of which has passed the Senate.

Reports Are Held Up Robinson obtained unanimous consent to file conference reports during the one-day recess. Acceptance of a conference report on the treasurypostoffice appropriation measure is being held up in both the House and Senate to await the fate of the ship subsidy bill. In addition, the Senate has yet to adopt conference agreements on the interior department appropriation and anti-price discrimination bills, and pass on a new version of the District of Columbia appropriation measure worked out after conferees failed to come to an understanding. For the Wagner Low -Cost Housing bill, prospects appeared dim. It passed the Senate yesterday, but still must win approval of the House Banking Committee and the House itself.

The House killed the anti-lobbying bill today when it tabled a conference report and Senate amendments after heated debate. It then took up the conference report on the reliefdeficiency bill, which carries 000,000 for continuing the works progress administration after July 1.

A rise in the prices of commodities was noted in Algiers today, wheat nearly doubling. Authorities in Algeria announced the inauguration of "all necessary measures to maintain order.

The strikes in North Africa flared as the movement quieted in Paris and Northern France saw a stay in strikes launched by workers in many trades. Algiers department stores closed their doors, granting workers paid va- cations lest they occupy the premises. Building, metallurgy, oil and port employees "folded their arms."

For publication, that was all he would say regardin, his recent reference to Governor Landon, Landon, the Republican presidential nominee, as the "governor of a typical prairie state," critically interpreted by some as a critical allusion to Kansas. "Why not make it 'A typically splendid 8 reporter asked. "No." Farley laughed, "let it stand." He was as breezily confident as ever of President Roosevelt's. re-election prospects. thought there would be little difficulty over the abrogation of the nominating rule, and disclosed that Senator Wagner (D-NY) was alread: at work assembling platform suggestions.

The city was already dressed up for the convention. Flags and bunting lined the streets, "Welcome Democrats" signs were in every store window. There was, however, a single discordant note, and that less than a block from the Democratic National committee's headquarters. The Union League Club, traditional home of Philadelphia Republicanism, was dressed up for the Democratic show, too. The feature of its decoration was a big electric sign: "Landon and Knox, 1936, Love of Country Leads." Farley, stopping off en route.

to New York "to attend to some political matters" and to see the LouisSchmeling fight tomorrow night, received newsmen at the committee's headquarters. "I am fully confident," he said, "that the electorate will give complete approval of the Roosevelt administration by the re election of President Roosevelt in the same substantial manner as in 1932." It was his "belief" he added, that the two-thirds rule would be abrogated. Asked whether there might not be some objection from the south, which traditionally has guarded the rule as an important protection for its interests, he replied: "Southern states generally have been opposed to abrogation, "I cannot speak for the delegates to the convention and have no idea what their attitude will be." He added, however, his expression of confidence that the rule would be abandoned, adding a remark that a majority vote would decide the question.

New Jersey Police Are Convinced Suicide Victim Is Moore's Slayer EAST ORANGE, N.

June 17. (P). The D. McFarlan Moore murder mystery was all but marked off police records as solved tonight as officials announced they were convinced the inventor's slayer was Jean Philip Gebhardt, a suicide. Police and Chief William C.

N. A. Dell of Wachenfeld, East Orange Essex County prosecutor, said they were satisfied Gebhardt, who killed himself when he about to be I questioned near Red Bank yesterday, was the man they sought. For "positive proof," the officials said they awaited the ballastics report. The bullets taken from Moore's body after he was found dead outside his Park Avenue home early Monday and the gun with which Gebhardt killed himself were taken today to state police headquarters at Trenton for tests.

Chief Dell and Wachenfeld reached their conclusions after Beatrice Moore, daughter of the one-time associate of Thomas A. Edison, viewed Gebhardt's body in 8 Red Bank morgue. The young woman, a Wellesley Colloge graduate, told detectives Wach- cided to apply to the Works Progress Administration. Brownell Field site has not yet been acquired and no work can be started, aldermen said, until such quisition has been made. Several aldermen who some time ago, expressed then seres as generally in favor of an airport development here under the PWA have informally stated that they do not approve of the WPA idea.

These councilmen also added that they did not deem it wise at this time to purchase the Brownell site and place an additional burden upon the taxpayer. Councilman-at-large Paul L. Koch introduced the resolution which sent the plans en route to the nation's capital. Contending the Works Progress Administration should first finish uncompleted street projects in the city before starting new ones, Councilman J. Ira Chase of the Third Ward voted "no" on two, resolutions giving the Council's approval of WPA plans to start work on reconditioning McDonald Street, Hudson Avenue, Davis Street, Gage Avenue and May Street.

Councilman Edward Corbett of the First Ward presented the resolution on McDonald Street and Hudson Avenue and Councilman Armand G. Cote of the Fourth Ward introduced a resolution which included the other three streets. Councilman Chase suggested that the WPA continue the work on Sheridan Street from Crandall Street to its terminus that would include excavating, drawing sub base and placing 8 "black top" on the thoroughfare. He said the city had "experimented" on reconditioning by (Continued on Page Three.) WITNESS AGAINST LEGION IS BEATEN Woman Is Found Unconscious After She Revealed Site of Terrorists' Press DETROIT, June 17 (P). -A woman who went in terror to the police and disclosed the hiding place of the press the Black Legion used to produce its Inflammatory literature was found bound; gagged, and 1 brutally beaten in her apartment today.

The attack, described by assistant prosecutor as "undoubtedly the work of a Black Legion avenger," occurred a half hour after 15 men had been ordered held for trial on charges of conspiring to murder political enemies of the terrorist organization. The victim, Mrs. Dorothy Guthrie, was taken to Receiving Hospital where X-ray photographs showed no broken bones. Mrs. Guthrie regained consciousness there and told Assistant Prosecutor William E.

Dowling that she was seized by a man she did not see as she stepped into her apartment at noon. A neighbor heard Mrs. Guthrie's moans and summoned police, who found her unconscious, her hands tied behind her back and a black cloth which detectives said looked as if it had been torn from a Black Legion robe, stuffed in her mouth. Her husband, William H. Guthrie, was detained shortly afterward when he called at a school for their daughter, Shirley, 9.

He said he knew nothing of the attack. The Guthries were held briefly two weeks ago after Mrs. Guthrie informed investigators that their home had been used for three years as a Black Legion meeting place, and that her husband had printed literature for the night riders, including their bombastic ritual and their pronouncements against "Communists' Negroes, Jews and Catholics," in the basement. Mrs. Guthrie said then that both she and her husband were members of the masked band, and that she had lived in terror since she had been compelled at pistol point months before to take the membership oath.

Police searching the house, from which the Guthries fled the night after Charles A. Poole's body WAS found in a roadside ditch May 13, confiscated the press and a quantity of the literature. Mrs. Guthrie said she was forced to join, the Black Legion Auxiliary at the home of Mrs. Arthur F.

Kingsley, editor of a newspaper in nearby Highland Park. Mrs. Lupp is a "colonel" in the auxillary. Eleven others, including a former mayor of Highland Park, were held with Lupp under the same bond in the Kingsley case, and three more were held for trial on charges of directing a similar plot against liam W.

Voisine, mayor of Industrial Ecorse. Voisine sat in court during the examination today, a revolver in his belt and a bodyguard on either side of him, while Dayton Dean, the Black Legion "triggerman" in the slaying of Poole, told from the stand of the terrorists' efforts to assassinate Voisine last fall after the mayor escaped unharmed when his home was bombed.

Eden Will Tell House of Commons Today of Decision MOVE IS LAUDED England Awaits Pronouncement of New German Policy LONDON, June 17 (P) Britain's cabinet decided today sanctions against Italy must be scrapped and approved a pronouncement of new policy dealing, it was reported, both with League of Nations reform and with Germany. The ministers, continuance of the present measures against Italy must be halted, gave authority to the statement which Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden will make in Commons tomorrow. The statement from the cabinet's slim and fashionable lead-off man was expected to follow these three main lines: Sanctions: Britain is ready to scrap them if the other sanctionists at Geneva are willing. 2-The League must be supported but reformed.

3-European peace: A way to settlement must be opened and Germany holds the key to it. Council Meets June 26 How and when the sanctions can be lifted is a question to be settled at Geneva. The Council meets June 26: The Assembly, June 30. Parliamentary circles anticipated a. demand for Italian guarantees of nondiscrimination against the current sanctionists, when trade channels actually ar cleared.

Thorough League reform is such an important and difficult job, informed persons said, that little can be done before autumn. Possible lines already have been indicated by Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain, who urged a system of regional pacts in world danger zones, and by Ramsay MacDonald, Lord president of the Council, who advocated re-study by a commission of Article XVI of the Covenant, dealing with sanctions. Eden certainly will mention Germany in tomorrow's new plea for European peace, authoritative observers predicted. With an answer to the British questionnaire on the Locarno problem still lacking, Whitehall has heard persistent rumors that Germany is refortifying Heligoland. Confirmation was lacking.

The British were increasingly concerned with Adolf Hitler's tardiness in answering the questionnaire, which asked, in effect, if the Reich pow ready to conclude lasting treaties. Britain already has prodded the Reichsfuehrer, once directly and frequently indirectly. There was a feeling his waiting attitude did not jibe with his declaration when he remilitarized the Rhineland in defiance of Locarno pact provisions Then he said the peace plan which he was presenting must be grasped at, once. Selassie to Leave London The opposition leaders will follow Captain Eden in tomorrow's debate, with Prime Minister Baldwin winding up for the government. David Lloyd George, the former premier, will intervene.

Still in London to witness the final dashing of his hopes was the Negus Negusti, Haile Selassie of conquered Ethiopia. The Ethiopian legation announced tonight "His Majesty the Emperor and his childrer. are going for a few days rest to Scotland." They will leave sometime tomorrow. Sir Samuel Hoare, the new first Lord of the Admirality, touched on another outgrowth of the ItaloEthiopian war today in telling commons the British fleet would not abandon Malta, fortified Mediterranean island. There had been rumors that Malta might be evacuated because it is so close to Italy.

The admirality, Sir Samuel said, would "take every practical means of making its defense secure against any possible attack." It will be the principal base and headquarters for the Mediterranean fleet, he added. Geneva Lauds Move enfeld said, that Gebhardt "resembbled in every respect" the tall, thin man who called to see her father Sunday night. Chief Dell said previously he was certain this caller was the man who returned nine hours later, argued with Moore outside the house and shot the inventor with a gun. Police had not definitely decided on 8 motive for the slaying but detectives said they believed Gebhardt may have tried to interest Moore in one of. his inventive ideas and been refused aid.

Gebhardt, they learned, had been out of regular work since 1929 and had attempted since then to sell his ideas for various electrical devices. They said he was confined in an institution for the insane in 1924 and 1925. They learned today, they said, that he was employed by General Electric Company in 1927. Moore was associated. with the concern at that time, working on the development of television.

The detectives said they did not learn if Gebhardt knew the inventor but they said it was likely he knew Moore at least by reputation.

J. Clarence Herlihy, president, has completed the arrangements. Re-unions of graduates for the past fifteen years will take place at the banquet to be followed by a dance in the French Village Grill. GENEVA, June 17: (P)-The decision of the British cabinet to lift sanctions from Italy was generally considered in Geneva circles tonight an inevitable practical measure of political wisdom but a profoundly unfortunate one for the prestige of the league. Advocates of removing sanctions profess to see in their continuance dangerous political unrest in Europe with Italy probably seeking an alliance with Germany and the division of the continent into two armed camps.

Opponents of the lifting of sanctions said such an action would encourage future aggression. Baseball Results AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston 9, Chicago 4. St. Louis 14, Philadelphia 13. Washington 2, Detroit 1 (called 8th, darkness), New York 15, Cleveland (1st).
