' WASHINGTON. May 24. Mr. Gar
ner, the V. P., has been looking up
the railroad time tables to Uvalde.
fMore than that,
w he has made a
mental reservation
to go home around
the middle of June
a .aana stay mr
; I iscaston of con-
cress.
SML il His Dlanninc ha
.developed to the
1 I point where he Is
rani Ala lion, received presiden
tial permission. The understanding
la he will delay his departure If it
appears the supreme court Issue or
any other hot subject may reach a
tie, requiring his vote for a decision.
But such a possibility Is not now
anticipated.
This, of course, Is far more than
a social Item. If a V. P. has ever
pulled up and gone home under sim
ilar circumstances, the record boots
do not show It. Mr. Garner's asso
ciates say his health la good. He
wants to do what he can to further
the president's program. But If it
Just comes down to a question of
presiding over and listening to the
senate all summer, he thinks he
might Just as well be home fishing.
Mr. B. may want to talk him out
of It later, but enough people at the
capltol know about the early vaca
tion plan now to warrant the as
sertion that It is definite.
The importance of Mr. Garner's
present Inclination lies In the fact
that many congressmen also seem
to feel that way. Certain groups are
Interested In their own group Issues

labor, etc. But, as a whole, the un
spoken undertone In congress Is de
cidedly weak toward much of the
presidential program. Pew feel there
Is much sufficiently vital to warrant
them slaving here through the sum
mer heat.
At the same time, the leaders In
sist the president ts determined not
to permit a recess for the summer
and a resumption of business In the
fall. He naturally wants to keep con
gress here been use the heat Is in
his favor. As every legislative stu

SALAMANCA, Spain, May 25.
President Roosevelt expressed pleas

court would adhere to the same Ml- I

The president made this Informal
statement at a press conference after
which a high administration source
had expressed the same view earlier in
the day with the added statement
there would be no comprom.se on the
supreme court reorganization bill.
WASHINGTON. May 25. (pi A I
high administrative official reaffirm
ed today President Roosevelt's "no
compromise" stand on supreme court
reorganization.
He said there was no indication ;
the president would permit his court 1

won 12 Important cases and lost none
before the high tribunal this year.
He spoke after the court's valida

as to whether the administration's
attitude toward Its demand for new

President Roosevelt has let It be
known several times that he planned
no relaxation In his efforts to put
his court bill across.
The administration spokesman said
that the court problem, as the ad
ministration views It, is not shown
entirely In recent opinions. The la
bor standards legislation proposed to
congress yesterday, he said, some day
will present a completely new Issue
to the court.

These four possibilities received the
most discussion:
That wage and hour, farm. Gov

That the bill Itself would give way
to a constitutional amendment to

SUBSTITUTE BILL
FOR CONTROL 0-C
Would Place Administration
With Department of Agri
culture Cordon Fears
Revenue Hit.
WASHINGTON, May 25. (AP) The
agriculture department advised the
house public lands committee today
It is more capable of :ti ministering
western Oregon's revised railroad nd
wagon road grant lands than Is the
Interior department.
It proposed an substitute bill for an
interior department measure now be
fore the committee.
The agricultural department pro
possl would provide for the payment
to the state and counties of a Just
equity In the land estimated up to
$11.000,000 and then place the some
3.000.000 timbered acres under the
forest service with revenue going Into
the treasury. Such a program. For
ester L. F. Knetpp estimated, would
take around 10 years.
The Interior department asks re
vision of present statutes to permit a
redistribution of revenue among the
states, counties and federal govern
ments. All funds now received from
timber and lands sales In the grant
land area are going to the counties
In lieu of taxes.
Asked by Chairman Do Rouen (D,.
La.) If the forestry service could handle-
administration more efficiently
than the Interior department, Knlepp
replied:
"Very definitely."
Representative James Mott of Sa
lem. Ore., reiterated he had no ob
jections .to forest conservation fea
tures of the interior department
measure but opposed the remainder
of the bill on the ground It would
Jeopardize revenue now going to the
county
Guy Condon, Roseburg. Ore- repre
senting the 18 land grant counties,
took a similar stand. He also offered
an amendment to the sustained yield
provisions of the bill which would
make mandatory requirements that
sale of timber be made up to a maxi
mum of a half billion board feet an
nually "provided that the same can
be done at reasonable prices on nor
mal market."

NORTH TARRYTOWN, N. Y., May
35. (AP) The body of John D.
Rockefeller was borne northward to
day to waiting members of his im
mediate family, carried with the
richness, excluslveness. and lack of
formality which characterised his
life.
Privacy was the key-note of all ar
rangements for final honors to the
man who. although a great philan
thropist, lived -secluded, a shunner of
public notice.
The body was In a special Pullman
car attached to a New York-bound
express from Ormond Beach, Fla.,
where the industrialist-philanthro
pist died Sunday morning, two
months short of his 08th birthday.
Re lay In a simple but rich mahog
any and bronze casket, bedecked
with a few lilies. Friends had been
asked not to send flowers.
In the 4 7 -room mansion on the
Pocantlco Hills estate waited -his
family, now headed by his only son,
John D. Rlckefeller, Jr., who Is 63.
The family had hurried from points
as far away as the Panama canal
rone to attend simple final rites in
tho great hall at 10:00 a.m., (EST)
tomorrow. It was not known exactly
how many of the 20 children, grand
children and great grandchildren
would be able to attend.
The ceremonies will be strictly prt
vate. with only a handful of busi-
ness associates and a few trusted
servants present, In addition to the
family.
Dr. Hurry Emerson Fosdlck. pastor
of the Riverside Baptist church in
New York, built by Rockefeller, will
read from the scriptures; the Rev
Lester H. Bent, pastor of the Pocan
tlco Hills Union church, will partlcl
pate; a few hymns best-loved by
Rockefeller will be sung, and that
will be all. -
Late tomorrow the casket again
will be placed In the special Pull
man and taken to Cleveland, where
Rockefeller launched his fabulous
career. He will be burled there Thurs
day with rites as simple as those
arranged here.
The Rockefeller neighbors here had
flags at half-staff today, but this
was about the only sign of public
notice of the death.
No special rite was planned for
the body's arrival In New York. Some
of the Standard OH company offices
planned five-minute periods of si
