The door was locked and he was put through what Paul Mollon. 'jt known In legislative circles as the hoops, .meaning a mild congressional form of the third degree. . Nothing was made public about It. and probably nothing will be said of (lclally. but there is reason to belleie Mr. Wallace and the legislators agreed the proposed benefit-payment ays- tem was allghtly lopsided. In fact, an exceptionally able un official reporter thought he heard them agree the corn farmer would get about half of the federal funds . and the other half would be split among the wheat, cotton, tobacco and peanut farmers. you can Imagine what effect thla had on the cotton leglslatora from southern atates. IHsKatisflcatlon. : The disparity will undoubtedly be adjusted before (and If) the bill ever gets out of the committee. For the time being, It has prejudiced the southern block against the whole bill, m news of the discovery has been passed around the house by word of mouth It has Increased the likeli hood of Indefinitely delaying all the legislation except the ever-normal granary portion, which may be lift ed out of the bill and passed separ ately. . The real root of tha silent opposi tion, however, lies in fear of the un constitutionality of the measure. Some farm members reason this way: No one has questioned the constitu tionality of the soil conservation act. under which benefit payments now are being made. The system (they aay) la working very well If thla new bill la passed, It surely will Be challenged, why risk It? Furthermore, the best agricultural authority on the committee (end he l a new dealer) says the estimated 280,000,000 annual cost of the bill (Continued on Page Pour.) REDDING. Calif., June 7.

Utah, June 7. (JP) En circled by guards with orders to "shoot at sight." crews scraped to gether today pitifully strewn wreck age of ft huge sky liner and then dug Into the glaciated mow for the bodies of Its seven occupants, two of them women, killed six month ago. Pour men who attempted to ca;ry away "souvenirs" said they were shot at three times. . - M. O. Wenger, postal Inspector, grimly met their complaint with the announcement that the half mile area over which the wreckage Is scat tered. Is "closed to unapproved visit ors." He said guards have orders to shoot on sight at skulkers. 'A large shipment of Jewelry lay exposed to the gaze of the first searchers," Wenger told a reporter, adding, "I could give you a real story about that shipment but I won t " Wenger did not aay whether this ex plained the guard. Four Find Debris Four men almost simultaneously came upon the shattered airplane Sunday, as they scrambled over a ridge on bleak, oil ff -cluttered Lone peak five miles northeast of Alpine and only 25 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, goal of the Ill-fated trans port when It crashed last Dec. 15 No trace of bodies was visible. said the plane-finders, who hope to claim 1.000 reward offered by the airl.i.e. Western Air Express. ' "W four started to look for bodies and more things,", said Emery An drews, young farmer. "But we saw two guys slip away with a piece of the plane and we thought they wore going to beat us to the reward. So we hustled right In to camp." The discovery was made about two miles above a camp set up only five days ago as search headquarters after two Alpine natives picked up letters identified as from the plane's cargo. 'One shoe lay near the crest of the ridge where the ship crashed.' Andrews continued. MAlr mall lay scattered everywhere, with tiny bro ken bits of wood, metal and cloth." Seven sacks were taken up to the camp two days ago. There was no way of telling, however, as digging started today, when the bodies could be recovered. One official said It might be days. Removal Problem Stunned by the extent of the plane's demolition It literally had showered Into fragments Western Air authorities set about to determine methods of Its removel from the mountain. Some sort of a massive derrick, they said, may be required to haul the bodies and fuselage up the terrifically sheer cliff, which Is perpendicular for from 50 to 100 feet and almost sheer for 200 feet more. Between this cliff and the wagon trail that climbs ft short way up from Alpine la a succession of equally tall cliffs, overhanging ledges, box can yons, waist-deep pockets of soft anow and, below the tlmberllne. a veritable Jungle of matted brush, boulders, in tertwined trees and tumbling creeks. Largest single segmelt of debris found Sunday was part of a propeller. One mall bag remained In one piece, but It waa ripped down Its side. Wind, which blows Incessantly at that 10.000-foot elevation, had whisk ed its contents away. Parte of the Instrument panel w.re found but there was small hope enough of the Instruments could be assembled to reconstruct the accident or determine Its cause. Department of commerce authorities and the Utah aeronaut Ices commission dis cussed an Immediate investigation. Near Safety Most bitterly Ironic note of the tragedy was the location of the wreckage Itself, only 20 feet from the ridge-top over which the plane would hare had clear sailing down to Utah's capital. Lost In fog and rain, the transport waa 35 miles east of the regular Los Angeles-Salt Lake course. So clone to the top wsa the mighty transport that Its tall was hurled over the precipice, searchers said, while the smashed - to - smithereens fore part rocketed far back down the Alpine side of the slope. Indications are. search leaders fear ed, that the torn bodies were teased over the cliff with the plane's tall to their burial in lce-encrusted snow beds from 20 to 30 feet thick. Discovery of the plane ended the west's greatest air hunt a bunt that extended over several states and coat Western Air Expreas uncounted thou sands. Nm-ris nil Attarkrd. WASHINGTON.

A last conference by the Judiciary committee majority remained before submission of the report to the sen ate. That document, representing the views of ten of the eighteen commit tee members, waa expected by some to take direct and emphatic exception to arguments by the president for the legislation. It probably will deny any need for "Infusion of new blood in tho courts it waa said, and cite the record of (he supreme court docket In reply to assertions that the addition of Jus tices would expedite cases.
