PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 9
(AP) With only one dissenting
voice heard the annual conven

today approved a resolution fa
. voring immediate payment of the
veterans' adjusted compensation
certificates.
Despite the almost unanimous
vote adoption of the resolution
did not come without opposition.

had reported to the convention a
skillfully worded resolution, fa
voring payment oftjitj certificates
only to those veterans actually
in need and then in 12 monthly
installments, was presented to the
convention by Portland post No.

The move was defeated, how
ever, by a powerful and organ
ized block of veterans who ap
parently had come to the conven
tion determined to ask full and
immediate payment for all. They
said they considered the "bonus"
merely "back wages" to which
they were entitled.

the 13 word resolution favoring I
full and immediate payment, on-J

With an ear-splitting roar, the

its decks.
More than a score were still
missing tonight as floodlights
were brought up to illuminate
the scene where divers and res

boat, was among the dead.
His son, Alexander Forsythe,
the captain, was put under po

while he lay in a hospital with a
fractured leg and internal injur

were begun, one by the depart

The 44-year-old craft, which
served as a labor ferry during

week-ends, was transporting be

is under construction.
It was 25 feet from 6hore

boilers ex-ploded.
Those on the dock saw one of
the steel drums hurtle Into the
air like a giant sky rocket.
Smoke was hurled 500 feet.
When the steam cleared the
only sign of the 92-foot Observa

two spars, marking the spot
where the sunken hull lay.
The only surface of the water
was dotted with black struggling
figures, motionless figures, oth

and shouting feebly for help.
A piece of the shattered pilot
house was floating far out in the
stream.
Hours later a strong tide

Three pairs of hands clutched
its jagged edges in the rigid

State and Monroe streets last

he exchanged greetings with

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (AP)
With a host of theories and a
scarcity of clues, federal agents
today joined in an intensive
search for Colonel Raymond Rob
ins, prominent prohibitionist who
disappeared while presumably on
his way to Washington to keep an
appointment with President Hoo
ver. Attorney General Mitchell or
dered 185 special agents of the
prohibition bureau into the hunt
because some believed Robins
might have been kidnaped by
bootleggers, against whom he had
been active. However, there was
nothing tangible, Mitchell said, to
substantiate that theory.
Prohibition officers began in
vestigating a report that a woman
friend of the Robins family had
seen the colonel in Chicago yes
terday. Mrs. W. Requa Bryant
said in Chicago she had known
Robins for 20 years and was "pos
itive" the man she saw was the
colonel.
"He appeared distraught, and
for that reason I didn't speak to
him." she said.
The prohibition bureau, how
ever, had not received a report
from its Chicago agents and had
nothing further to say.
President Hoover was worried
by the disappearance of his
friend.
Miss Edith Kissack, secretary
to Mrs. Robins, said in South
West Harbor, Maine, that no re
ward would be offered for finding
the colonel. Miss Kissack quoted
Robins as having said the Lind
burgh case showed the futility of
ransom demands.

"I told members of the board
last Tuesday that I would be sub

to the politics of this situation,"
Sammons declared last night. He
said he might issue a public state
ment when he quits explaining his i
reasons for doing so.
Further breakup of the board
was deemed possible here last
night due to rumors that Mrs.
Walter M. Pierce of La Grande
would join Burch and Sammons
in a resignation. Sammons, Mrs.
Pierce and F. E. Callister of Al

chancellor while Burch did not
vote. Sammons. C. L. Starr and
Burch composed the board's com

said he probably would not resign
although he said certain situa
