NICARAGUA AGAIN
IN REVOLT THROES
AS REBELS RISE
NEW ATTEMPT MADE TO
WREST GOVERNMENT
, FROM OFFICIALS
MANAGUA, June 1 (TP)—Nica
ragua. echoes to the familiar rattle of
rebel rifle fire again today.
The tiny Central American repub
lic, only recently freed of the super
vision of United States marines, is
In the throes of another of its peri
odic pjlitical upheavals.
This time, the commander of the
Nicaraguan national guard, General
Annstasio Somoza, is heading astrong
revolutionary army attempting to
wrest the reins of government from
the hands of President Juan Sacasa
The new revolt was fomented by
army groups dissatisfied with the
way preliminaries for the November
national elections were going. General
Somoza, it is said, has aspirations of
occupying the presidents chair and
apparently staged the revolt to oust
Sacasa from control of the liberal
party, which will nominate the one
presidential nominee.
Scattered fighting, with few casual
ties, was reported throughout Nica
ragua, the worst clash occurring at
the capita), Managua, when Somoza’s
troops attempted to storm the gov
ernment house. The president’s
guards, according to early dispatches,
hurled back the first attack but ap
peared perilously close to defeat as
Somoza hurried reinforcements up to
the lines-
Frightened natives scurried to safe
ty when the whine of stray bullets
sounded their eerie moan in the
streets of Managua. Several slugs are
reported to have struck the office of
the American minister, Boaz Long. No
one in the American ministry was in
jured.
The November elections were to
have been the first staged without a
guard of American marines on hand.
The marines supervised the balloting
when Sacasa was elected, after chas
ing the bandit leader, Sandlno,
through the junglrs. When It ap
peered that revolutionary sentiment
in Nicaragua had died out, the ma
rines were withdrawn.
FOREST FIRES
MENACE EAST
CAPE COD SCENE OF MA
JOR CONCERN. BY
COUNTRY
MASHPEE, Mass., June 1 (TP)—
The worst forest fire in more than
10 years is still raging on Cape Cod
today.
Two small buildings, valuable cran
berry bogs, and close to 3,000 acres
along a five-mlle stretch have been
leveled by the flames. Houses in the
village of Satuit are seriously threat
ened as the blaze roars onward, whip
ped by strong southwest winds.
Hundreds of volunteer firemen and
CCC workers answered a general
alarm and are battling the fire.
Many of the fire-fighters have been
without sleep for more than 30 hours.
Week-end motorists created bad
traffic jams when they caught a
closer view of the flames. Some
were commandeered by state police
to fight the fire. Others were or
dered out of the zone. All roads in
the vicinity of the blaze have been
closed.
Four men were arrested when they
were found in the woods. Officials
believe the destructive fires were de
liberately set.

FOR DIVE NEAR CHI
CAGO AIRPORT
CHICAGO, June 1 (TP)—Fifteen
persons are suffering from, injuries
received in a transport plane crash
In which they made a miraculous es
cape from death. The crash occurred
near the Chicago airport.
The injury victims were 12 pas
sengers and three members of the
crew aboard a transcontinental and
western airlines plane.

almost one hour late because of buck
ing head winds during most of the

Wesley Smith, brought the ship near
the airport, he was radioed to circle
until another plane could take off.
The pilot later explained he could
not gain 'altitude and tried to make
a forced, landing In a vacant lot. Ths
liner grazed a tree and. a small house
before it dropped, to the ground. Ona
of the wings crumpled when ths
plane etruck the tree, but the cabin
withstood the smashing Impact.
Airport officials said it was only
the skill of Pilot Smith that saved
the occupants of the plane from al
most certain death.

PRIMARY TO TEST
SENATOR’S POWER

DICKINSON NAMED AS POS
SIBLE G. O. P. “DARK
HORSE”
DES MOINES, lowa. June 1 (TP)
Senator L. J. chances of
becoming an important factor at the
Cleveland Republican convention
hinge on the strength he piles up in
today’s lowa primaries.
Six In Race
The Republican Senator—most re
cently noted for his famous “dog
address’’—faces no easy job in win
ning an Impressive primary vote to
day. Opposed to him In the primary
race for his senator seat are five oth
er candidates—one of them the vet
eran ex-Senator Smith W. Brookhart.
The others are Mayor Edward Man
ning of Ottumwa, Iowa; Guy Linville,
of Cedar Rapids; George Chaney of
Des Moines, and Norman Baker of
Muscatine.
One of the six mi st poll more than
35 per cent of the primary vote to
make today's results binding. If all
fall to reap t hat percentage of bal
lots, the senatorial nominee will be
selected at a party convention.
Seen as “Dark Horse"
Dickinson frequently was mention
ed as a “park horse” possibility -for
the Republican presidential nomina
tion. After the “dog food” address,
in which he maintained that millions
of Americans are eating canned dog
food because of New Deal high food
prices, Dickinson has been rather si
lent. The howls of laughter that
greeted that famous oratorical blun
der, are still echoing in the political
hills. Most Republican leaders agree
that Dickinson would require an im
pressive majority in today’s primary
to receive any consideration as a
nominee possibility at Cleveland.

ern railroad men stoSd by today and
waited for the rush of traffic they
expect to follow their passenger fare
slash.
Following the terms of an Inter-,
state Commerce -Commission order,
the Eastern lines cut their passenger
retes from three and six-tenths cents
a mile to a flat two cents a mile at
one minute past midnight this morn
ing. Pullman surcharges also were
dropped by the I. C. C. order.
Twenty-three Eastern roads have
entered suit in a New York district
court In a fight to enjoin the I. C. C.
from enforcing the order. However,
If the passenger traffic increase more
than makes up from the revenue lost
by the fare cut, the injunction suit
probably will languish and die.
The one stand-out In the fare cut
Is the Long Island Railroad, a sub
sidiary of the Pennsylvania. The
Long Island continued to operate on
a three-cent rate, protesting that it
Is not an Interstate road. The New

broken appeal for help in a search
for her son went out to the world

NEW YORK CACAPHONY SHRIEKS
‘CHEERIO’ AS THE ‘QUEEN MARY’
MAKES PORT AFTER MAIDEN TRIP
NEW YORK, June 1 (TP)—Air- i
planes and harbor craft gave the
British Ito’r, Queetn Mary, a tumultous
welcom* today when she glided into
New York fr’rbor after an epochal
transatlantic crossing
The superliner dropped anchor at
quarantine at 10:10 a.m., E. O. E. A
swarm of yachts and tugs circled
around her with their whistles pulled.
Overhead planrs droned in the bright
sunlight. The Queen Mlary answered
the harbor cacaphony with thunder
ous blasts from her siren. Mackay
radio reported the official average
spede for her maiden crossing at
29.133 knots. The figure failed to
equal the Normandie’s speed on her
maiden voyage.
Reception Planned
The Qaren ship’s chancse for break
ing th? record went glimmering Sat
urday night when she sailed into a
fog bank. When the weather cleared
the venj’l started to make up lost
time and the Qu;en Mary raced at
more th?n 30 knots. But when they
neared their goal the turbines were
cut down and the ship passed am
brose light at a snail’s pace. Her of
ficial time of arrival then? was 9:03.
This -afternoon th? palatial ship will
warp alongside her pier in the Hud
son river.
The "Queen Mary” may, however,
claim a record for the fastest aver
age time. That title, however, enviable,
can’t measure up to the blue-ribbon
honors that are heaped on th? liner
which sprints across the wind-swept
stretches of the Atlantic in the few
est hours.
Stiff headwinds greeted the “Queen
Mary” as she slipped past Nantucket
and headed for New York. Passengers
who had risen early—or had fore
gon? bed for the night—viewed a
beautiful sp?ctecle as the ship prow
of the liner tossed up whit? plumes
of foam, ’touched with silver by a
bright moon
Record Not Broken

Mary’s” reception are complete. Early

WAGE LAW RULING
TO FINISH TERM
OF SUPREME COURT
NEW DEAL POLICIES FARE
BADLY AT PRESENT
SITTING
BULLETIN!
WASHINGTON, June 1 (TP)
—The Supreme Court ruled today
that the New York State Mini
mum Wage Law for women and
children is unconstitutional.
The test of the act was brought
by a Brooklyn laundryman who
fought the state’s right to set a
minimum wage of $12.40 a week
for his employes.
WASHINGTON, June 1 (TP).—
A Supreme court ruling of the New
York minimum wage law appears
likely today. •
1 The nine justices of the highest
tribunal in the United States will
meet at noon today for their last ses
sion of the present term., On their
slate are two cases which, those close
to the court agree, probably will be
cleaned up before the court adjourns
for the summer.
Agreed to Review
The first is the minimum wage law
case, whch tests the constitutionality
of a New York state law, setting low
limits to be paid women workers in
the various crafts. The Supreme
court years ago, termed a similar
minimum wage law unconstitutional,
but agreed to review the New York
case, notwithstanding. If the law is
declared unconstitutional, one of the
strongest planks in the empire state’s
social security platform will collapse.
The second important decision
which will attract a filled house at
the Supreme court building today is
a ruling in the battle between Colo
rado and Wyoming over water
rights on the Colorado river.
Called Anti-New Deal
The Supreme Court which ands to
day treated the New Deal none too
kindly.
The nine justices handed down five
decisions which declared New Deal
programs unconstitutional and back
ed up the administration only onoe
since it began the term last October.
The five anti-New Deal rulings con
cerned the Triple-A, the 1933 Securi
ties Act, Processing Taxes, the Guf
fey Coal Control Act, and the 1934
Municipal Bankruptcy Act.
The one decision which upheld a
New Deal theory was the ruling that
the Tennessee Valley Authority was
within its constitutional rights in
marketing surplus, power from Mus
cle Shoals dam. • ‘

The mysterious affairs of the Ameri

other puzzling chapter today.
Dr. Colbert recently was tried on
charges of attempting to poison his
wife, the widow of a wealthy Stand
ard Oil executive. The physician was
freed after the presiding judge ad
mitted that he was dissatisfied with
many angles of Dr. Colburn’s alibi
but unable to pronounce him guilty
without doiibt.
Now the American physician is re
ceiving treatment for injuries he re
ceived at the hands of a masked as
sassin. Dr. Colbert reported to po
lice that he was attacked in his of
fice last night by a hooded figure
who sprang at him with a knife.
The physician managed to knock
aside the vicious thrust, but dropped
to the floor unconscious when the
mysterious intruder wielded a black
jack. Dr. Colbert said he was un
conscious for a half hour before he
revived enough to crawl to a tele
phone and summon help. The mid
night prowler left no due. 1 :.

ADAMANT IN STANDS
OVER BILLS
WASHINGTON, June 1 (TP)—
Three major barriers reared them
selves high above speedy congressional
adjournment today, as the senate con

Barrier number one is the split be
tween the senate finance committee
and President Roosevelt over the
compromise tax bill. If the president
stands firm on his demand for th?
original house tax bill and its high
graduated tax on undistributed cor
porate profits, then adjournment may
be postponed for weeks.
Barrier number two to adjournment
is the desire on the part of certain
prominent) Republican senators to
stay away from the Republican na
tional convention at Cleveland next
Monday. Two or three senators men
tioned as presidential timber for the
grand old party are particularly anx
ious to stay in Washington. They be
lieve their chances are much better
if their backers work alone, and the
delegates can think about them with
out seeing the actual candidates.
The third barrier is the drive by
West Virginia’s Senator Neely end
Pennsylvania’s Senator Guffey to get
the new Guffey coal bill passed be
fore adjournment. However, the tax
billbarrier stands head and shoulders
above th? others.- Senator King, act

was halted by the pickets who threat
