Plane Lost March 1
YOSEMITE, Calif., June 13, (JP)
A young hunter of gold who followed
his "hunch" led the way to the w."eci
age of a storm-felled TWA airliner
missing with nine persons aboard
since the night of last March 1.
The shattered plane and the bodies
of Its occupants lay near the top of
9,000-foot Buena Vista peak. -18 air

one of the wildest In the Sierra Nev
ada. Ik 00 miles cast of Fresno.
H. O. Collier, 34. a mining prospec
tor from Fresno, told Chief Ranger
Forest Townsley last night he had
found the ship Sunday morning.
Eight bodies were scattered nearby,
said Collier. -
Evldrnce Shown
As evidence he had found tho
plane, Collier produced an aviator's
cap with the TWA insignia and a
brief case stamped with the name of
H. M. Salisbury of Kansas City, Mo.,
TWA co-pllot and a passenger on
the ship.
The ship vanished In one of the
worst California storms In several
decades. Pilot John Graves had aban
doned efforts to fly eastward over
the Sierras to Albuquerque, N. M..
and had been balked In an attempt
to fly southward to Bur bank, Cal.,
when he turned northward hoping
to return And set the ship down at
San Francisco, i
A radio message was received when
the ship was near Fresno, shortly
afterward the plane -disappeared. For
weeks planes and searching parties
sought It vainly.
Those aboard were passengers:
J. Tracy Dlrlam, 22, Mansfield, O.,
a Stanford university student.
Mary Lou Dlrlam, 18, sister of J.
Tracy Dlrlam.
Victor Krauso, Lincoln. Neb.

' Collier brought the brief case and
the cap Into Yosemlte ranger head
quarters last night.
"I had a hunch the ship was up
there somewhere," he said.
A $1,000 reward was posted by the
company last March for discovery of
the craft. TWA officials In San Fran
cisco said they presumed the offer
still stood and that Collier could
claim the money.
Two of the plane's passengers. J.
Tracy Dlrlam and his sister, Mary

their father who waa critically 111 at

CONGRESS TO QUIT

RAIL LEGISLATION
Adjournment Slated Wed
nesday Is Word of Sen
ate Leader Barkley After
Conference With President
WASHINGTON, Inn, 13.
(AP) senate approval sent to
the White House today a record
agricultural appropriation hill of
Sl.0MU10.314 for the fiscal year
beginning July 3.
The measure Included 1500,
000,000 for benefit payments to
farmers under the crop control
act.
, WASHINGTON, June 13. (AP)
Senate Leader Barkley (D-Ky) told
reporters after a conference with
President Roosevelt today that con
gress - would adjourn Wednesday
without enacting "any new" railroad
legislation.
Since we expect to adjourn not
later than Wednesday night . we do
not contemplate that there will be
any new railroad legislation this ses
sion," Barkley aald.
The Democratic leader aald specifi
cally that a bill to liberalize Recon
etructlon Corporation loans to rall-
roada waa not on the program to be
completed before adjournment.
That measure once was reported to
the senste by Its banking committee,
but was sent back to committee when
the railroads proposed a 16 per cent
wage cut.
Wage mil Is Key
The White House conference wss
attended by Vice-President Oarner,
Speakor Bankhead and Representa
tive Rayburn (D-Tex), the house
majority leader.
Abandonment of rail legislation
would leave enactment of wage-hour
legislation aa the key to adjourn
menti . ,
Other measures on which action
must bo completed before the session
ends are the relief bill and a defici
ency appropriation bill. No delay In
action on them Is anticipated by con-
gTessionsi leaders.
- In asserting congress would adjourn
by Wednesday night, Barkley said
this could be done "unless there Is a
hookup we don't foresee."
This would complete the session
before the president leavea Thursday
to attend the wedding ot his son,
John, and Ann Clark this week end
at Nahant, Mass.
Unions To Confer
Opposition of railroad unions to
tho RFC lending 'bill hss kept It In
the senate committee. Although
Barkley said no effort would be made
to pass the measure, Informed sena
tors said they understood the railway
labor executives association would
meet tomorrow to reconsider their
opposition. i
The senate interatate commerce
committee reported favorably this
morning a bin to create a separate
system of unemployment compensa
tion for railroad workers.
Informed persons said that If this

The wage-hour bill will come be

HEAD OF GRANGE
OVER jARM BILL
Gill Demands Clear-Cut De
termination of Measure
Against Some Sections -
if Permanence Planned
KLAMATH FALLS, June 13 (AP)
A olear-cut' determination of
whether the administration's new
farm bill la stop-gap legislation
pending adoption of permanent plana
for assistance of the farmer or a
new step toward regimentation of
agriculture. was demanded today by
Ray W. Gill, master of the state
grange.
Oill spoke before the 6Bth annual.
session of the Oregon Orange here.
the first time the conference has
been held In southeastern Oregon.'
The master, who recently won re- -
election after a bitter battle with
Ralph Perry, Hood River, made the
farm bill the major topic of his an
nual address. He made no mention1
of the Perry campaign but asked for
unity, a healthy expression of any
differences and a eealoua regard for'
agriculture's welfare.
Serious If Permanent
Frankly I am vary much con
cerned about the trends that thai
(the farm) bill establishes." he aald.'
"If we are to treat this aa emergency
legislation, or as a stop-gap until
other plans can be put into opera-'
tton, then the situation la much leas
serious but If the bill Is the begin
nlng of a permanent plan for agri
culture, then I am decidedly against:
some of lte regimental provisions,"
Olll laid particular stress on a.
section "which Beta up governmental:
control ' over the acreage quotas
which farmers can produce In cer
tain major crops." - "
"Whenever the government by all
of Its force and power, tells farmer
how many acres of this crop or that,
crop he can plant and how much
he cna sell without being penalised,
then I tblnk we should know what,
kind of road we are traveling,' aald
the master. . . i
He said he hoped the fanner was
not going to surrender political free
dom for economic advantage and he
criticised particularly the method of.
determining acreage on a historical,
basis, tn other words, he said, the
wheat grower, if he wanted to plant
corn, would have to buy the vested
right of corn farming from some,
farmer who had established a his,
torlcal base for that crop.
Chairman Henry J. Cabell of the
state highway commission, addressing
the convention today before starting
a survey trip of central and soutn-t
western Oregon highways, told the
grangers the commission's general
policy was first to develop primary
highways, follow with secondary high
ways and feeder roads and allow tha
counties more or less to take care of
their own road systems, with the help
of whatever state money remained
available.
O rangers have asked for a greater
share for counties In state highway
revenue. j
Eighty-eight resolutions, some of
them duplications, will occupy the at
