paring to file quo warranto proceed
ings challenging the right of Daniel

GOV. SHOLTZ MAY
BE NEXT SENATOR
MAY FILL FLORIDA SEAT
VACATED BY PARK
TRAMMELL’S DEATH
WASHINGTON, May 11 (TP)—
Word is going around the capital to
day that Governor Dave Scholtz will
be the next United States Senator
from Florida. The reports say that
Scholtz may fill the seat left vacant
by the death of Senator Park Tram
mell last Friday night.
Thus far, no other Floridan has
been prominently mentioned as
Trammell's successor. Scholtz, it Is
pointed out, is an ardent New Dealer
and is said to .be very friendly with
the administration. In addition, the
Florida Governor did not run for
re-election in his state primary.
is, however, a problem as to
how the election of Trammell’s suc
cessor is to be c.rrle out. There is
no doubt that Governor Scholtz will
appoint someone to fill the vacancy
until the general November elections.
The question remains as to how to
get candidates for the general elec
tion. The filing time for the Florida
primary ended on May 2. Some be
lieve that the executive committees
of both parties will have to name
their candidates for the post.
SENATORBURIED
LAST RITES HELD TODAY
FOR PARK TRAMMELL
OF FLORIDA
LAKELAND, Fla., May 11 (TP). —
Late rites for the junior senator from
Florida, Park Trammel, are being
held this afternoon at his home
town. Lakeland.
A funeral train which bore the
body of the 60-year-old former gover
nor of Florida from Washington ar
rived in Lakeland early today. Ac
companying the body were the sena
tor’s widow and a congressional dele
gation made up of five senators and
five Florida members of the House of
Representatives
Trammell’s sudden death leaves the
Florida senatorial picture in a mud
dle. The senator’s term was not due
to expire until 1941, under the state
law, Governor Dave Scholtz may
name a successor to fill the vacant
senatorial seat until next November,
when a special election would be re
quired. However, political leaders
hope that some arrangement may be
made to include candidates for the
open senate position on the June
primary ticket, even though entries
officially closed May 2.

JOBLESS PROMISE
SEIZE CITY HALL

RELIEF DEMANDS
ST. LOUIS, May 11 (TP)—A
weary group of 100 unemployed men
and women say they are going to
seize the aldermanic chambers of St.

relief are mst.
The demonstf*2tors camped in the

failing to fulfill promise to appro
priate more money for relief pur
poses.
Several women and children joined
the group in the relief headquarters
this morning. Leaders of the demon
stration said they would give the
aldermen until this afternoon to

them indefinitely.”
SENATE FINANCE
GROUP READY TO
RUSH TAX BILL
BATTLE LOOMS, HOWEVER
OVER $800,000,000 MEAS
URE PASSED BY HOUSE
WASHINGTON, May 11 (TP).—
White House Democrat* on the Sen
ate finance committee are ready to
bring their big guns into play today
in a battle to push the $800,000,000
tax bill through the committee.
A rising tide of opposition to the
bill, as passed by the House, has ad
ministration Senators worried. They
fear that the battle which looms over
the bill will keep it in committee for
weeks and may delay adjournment.
The latest committeeman to attack
the corporate surplus provisions of
the new tax bill is Senator Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia. Byrd, in a letter
to Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau,
complained that according to his fig
ures, the corporate tax proposals
would cause hardships among small
businessas while the nation's huge cor
porations would escape the levies en
tirely.
Byrd based his claim on the theory
that small businesses must pile up
corporate surpluses for expansion
purposes, while big companies could
afford to distribute the surpluses in
dividends.
Byrd’s objection to the House bill
adds another name to the rapidly
growing list of senators, both Repub
licans and Democrats, who are fight
ing the corporate tax provisions of
the $800,000,000 measure. Despite
the strengthening opposition, however
Chairman Pat Harrison of the Sen
ate finance committee, says he’s con
fident that the bill eventually will be
passed in much the same form as it
cleared the House of Representatives.

PASSAGE ASSURED
RELIEF MEASURE
CONGRESS TODAY
IS LAST MUST BILL OF
ROOSEVELT’S; INFLA
TION ACT IS NEXT
WASHINGTON. The house
passed the deficiency-relief bill
this afternoon. The vot: was 340
to 37. The relief bill carries
nefe-ly a billion and a half dol
la:* for W.2.A., 458 million for
sooial security and nearly 40
million for the Tennesee Valley
Authority.
WASHINGTON, May 11 (TP)—
President Roosevelt's last “must” bill
—the $1,425,000,000 relief appropria
tion measure—is due for passage in
the house of representative today.
The big relief measure, contained
in the first deficiency bill, should re
quire only a few minutes of today’s
session to clear the house opposition
to the bill has crumbled before the
steady advance of the administra
tion’s lower chamber steamer-roller.
Minority Leader Bertram -Snell is
expected to open todays considera
tion of the bill witn a plea that it
b? returned to committee for revi
sion. Snell wants the $1,425,000,000
apropriation passed with the require
ment that it be administered by
non-partisan state boards. His motior
is generally expected to fail. On the
following roll call, the bill probably
will pile up a big majority and sail
through the senate.
With that out of the way, the long
awaited showdown on the $3,000,000,
000 Fraier-Lemke farm mortgage re
financing bill comes up before the
house. Sponsors of the measure fi
nally have secured the 2'B petition
signers necessary to call for the bill’s
removal from the house rules com
mittee, where it has languished for
months. Today’s session probably will
bring a vote that will release the bil
from committee. Then will follow a
vot? on the proposal to ballot on the
Frazier-Lemke bill tomorrow.
Administr -,tion leaders and anti
inflationists in the Republican ranks
are confident that the Frazier-Lemk'
bill will be beaten. The measure, al
though its sponsors insist it is not
inflationary, would call for the is
suance of new currency to refinance
farm mortgages.

The Italian delegate said: “Italy
cannot admit the presence of the so
called delegate of Ethiopia. The only
power there is—is Italian. Any dis
cussions on the subject of the so
caleld dispute therefore would be
vain. I therefore will not participate
in such discussions.”
With this ultimatum, Alois! stalked
out of the council chamber.
The Ethiopian delegate stayed on
in the session. A short while later,
the council resolved itself into a pub
lic session. The Ethiopian question
was dropped. When Alois! was in
formed that the council had taken
up discussion of matters foreign to
the Ethiopian dispute, he returned
and took a seat.
Americans Oppose Conquest
NEW YORK, May 11 (TP).— The

man, dispatched the message. It
read: “The American League Against

American public opinion opposes
Ethiopia’s annexation as a province of
Italy.”
Said the league: “We cannot be
lieve that the League of Nations
dares tolerate the annexation of
Ethiopia by Italy. Mussolini has
driven relentlesly to the very heart
of this inocent country. If a Fascist
state is established in Ethiopia it
should not be recognised by the Unit
