Inclined to be meticulous when the

Is the time when lobbyists, official

Thus, the season's beat record for
legislation has been established In
the new Mansfield power bill. Intro
duced a few days ago as an administ
ration measure. The bill was writ
ten downtown by unknown authors
who seem to know a thing or two
about stoking a legal furnace In June.
Among the feverish provisions they
proposed In the bill are these two
following propositions:

No person can be appointed as

the proposed new regional TVA's "un

However, that Is only a- cool gust

to prevent lawsuits such as those

themselves beyond all hope of early
recovery.
An . avalanche of rock-laden snow

SALT LAKE CITY," June (AP)
Two army filers from Boston were
lost In the great salt desert west of
here yesterday, and today army
planes sought for the easterners'
plane.
Major Clarence Hodge, . 43. com
mander of the 26th division air ser
vice of the Massachusetts national
guard, radioed the Elko, Nev., air
port, 200 miles west of here at 12:45
p. m. yesterday he was lost.
That was the last heard from the
Boston-bound ship.
Not until early today did It be
come known Major Hodge had a pas
senger. Lieutenant Joseph L. McNeil.

Hodge's division.
Before dawn four army planes were
trundled out.. Army -crafjt from Pa-,
clflo coast bases were expected to
join the search.
"There are mountains and rocks
and canyons, but for the most part
the country In which the plane evi
dently was forced down Is salty,
sandy desert where a landing would
not be difficult." one army flier re
marked before the searching party's
takeoff.
Captain Goodrich said the filer
left Oakland, Calif., Sunday, for
Reno. Departing from Reno yester
day at 10 a.m.. the plane was due
in Salt Lake City about 3 p.m.
But nearly three hours after leav
ing Reno the pilot reported to the
Elko airport:
"Flying at 14,000 feetcan't make
out position lost."
Oakland authorities said they were
Informed the message added "out of
gas."
The plane had not yet reached
Elko. The sunburned hamlet of Beo
wawe, 00 miles west of Elko, was
said last to have heard it.
Both were experienced aviators. It
was Hodge's fourth cross country
flight and was regular training rou
tine. The plane left Boston May 30, and
was scheduled to return to Boston
next Sunday.

OLENDALE, Cat., June 9. (VP)
Brief, Impressive and comparatively
simple funeral services were held to

who died at the peak of fame.
Through the misty dawn the br.nze
casket, inlaid with silver, sped the
ten miles from Los Angeles to the
Memorial park here, escorted by po
lice motorcycles.
Three hours later, at 9 o'clock, a
thousand persons gathered In bush
ed silence outside the high Iron fence
of Forest Lawn. A thousand yards
from the gate, in the Wee Kirk o'
the Heather, wan the casket. It rest
ed in breath-taking banks of flow
ers. It was blanketed with 1300
lllles-of-the-valley, and 600 gardenias,
which the actress' mother, Mrs. Ma
rino Bello, and her sweetheart, Wil
liam Powell, provided.
Gardenias were her favorit flow?.
A silver platj on the casket bore
an engraving of the signature of the
26-year-old glamor girl of the films,
cut down at the very height of her
career by uremic poisoning.
One of the first to appear at the
little chapel of f Are wells was Warner

'Symbollophone' Can Deter
Mine Exact Location of
Sounds in Body Like
Plane Detector.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. June 9.
(tfi Expectant fathers can be warned
In the future to prepare themselves
for one, two or five children, two
University of California physicians
said today, by use of a new Instru
ment similar to tho sound detectors
used by the army to locate enemy
airplanes.
The instrument is a stethoscope,
called a "symballophone" by Its In
ventors, Dr. William J. Kerr and Dr.
A. M. Basset. With it the physician
for the first time can determine the
exact location of sounds inside the
human body. They demonstrated the
device today before the American
Medical association.
The physician can also use the In
strument to make more specific
studies of heart troubles, Including
the timing and pitch of heart sounas,
of diseases of the lungs and respira
tory tract and friction within the
lungs; of troubles in the vocal cords
of opera and other singers; and the
various "engine knocks" of the hu
man body.
Former stethoscopes have had two
earpieces and a single "pick up" mic
rophone. The new Instrument pro
vides two microphones, one for each
ear.
In a demonstration, a newspaper
reporter who did not know a heart
murmur from the sound of the ocean
wavea diagnosed accurately the di
rection of a heart leak.
Dr, Basset explained that the new
Instrument uses the basic principle,
also used in the airplane detectors
and soon to be used In motion pic
ture sound recording, that normal
human beings determine the location
of sounds to the right or left, de
pending on which ear the sound
reaches first, Dr. Basset explained.

F.D.R. FAVORS TAX
EXEMPTION CUTS
TO GAIN REVENUE
States Must Join in Reci
procal Program Public
Workers May Pay With
Rest.
WASHINGTON, June 9
Treasury officials said today states
would have to join the federal gov
ernment In a reciprocal tax program
If millions in revenue now tost 1
through exemptions aro to be chan
neled Into public- treasuries.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference he always had favored re
moving Income tax exemptions which
are granted federal and state em
ployes. . Two other developments helped
make taxation a major topic of cap
ital discussion:
1. The house approved a resolution
for an Inquiry Into tax dodging, but
voted to restrict publicity. The sen
ate must agree to tho limitations or
setlc a compromise.
3. The Units. & States Chamber of
Commerce officials predicted business
spokesmen would seek modification
of the new undistributed profts tax.
The president, discussing the re
moval of exemptions, said a consti
tutional amendment probably would
be necessary.
Treasury officials reported the gov
ernment could make Its future se
curity Issues taxable by enactment
of a law. They added, however, that
unless all states and political aubdl
visions took similar action, Interest
rates on federal obligations would
rise to exorbitant levels,
Commerce department figures show
ed about $58 000,000,000 of exempt or
partly exempt securities are outstand
ing.. If. .these, yielded an. averogo of
4 per cent, removal of all present ex
emptions would subject about 93,320,
000,000 to Income taxation.
Less revenue would be realised,
treasury officials said, from removal
of tax exemptions on state and fed
eral employes because most aro In
the lower brackets where low tax rates
prevail. One authority estimated re
ceipt at less than 9100,000,000.
(Federal employes now pay only
federal Income taxes and state em
ployee pay only state taxes )
The house resolution, passed with
out a record vote, would require the
special committee of six senators and
six representatives to give approval
before confidential information on
tax returns could be made public.
Almost unrestricted authority to
publish Income tax returns was voted
by the senate last week. The two
versions must be reconciled be tors
the Inquiry can start.
