INSPECTION TRIP
Rain Causes Him to Spend
Day at Farm—Works
on rax Return,
jr. kussull young,
htaff Correspondent ol The Star.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga., March 15.—
After a dismal, rainy Sunday, made
all the more so because he was forced
to spend most of his day laboring
over his Income tax to get it into the
mail before the deadline, President
Roosevelt today slept late, and then
enjoyed an hour or so in the glass
covered swimming pool at the Warm
Springs Foundation before going to
his large farm on the slopes of Pine
Mountain to spend the remainder of
the day.
Mr. Roosevelt had planned to motor
over Pine Mountain today to inspect
the Pine Mountain Resettlement proj
ect, and to go from there to Chipley,
about 10 miles distant, to inspect a
C. C. C. camp. The rain of yesterday,
■which continued throughout the night,
made the dirt roads in this section
soft and dangerously slippery for
motoring. Moreover, there was a
wintry chill in the air and the Presi
dent thought it w'ould be unwise to
have the inhabitants of the valley
resettlement stand on the soggy
ground, out in the cold air during his
inspection trip. However, he will
make this journey to the valley re
settlement project before he returns
to Washington.
President Roosevelt did not leave
his little cottage home yesterday. It
was a dreary, gloomy Sunday for him.
First of all, the skies were overcast
and there were intermittent rains.
Within the seclusion of the little cot
tage the President was struggling
throughout the greater part of the
day with his income tax returns.
This was the first time in the four
years that he has been President that
Mr. Roosevelt has made out his in
come tax returns himself. He makes
no secret of the fact that he is not
so good at figures, and according to
reports of his struggles yesterday, it is
doubtful if he mil ever try doing it
again by himself. The President has
been assisted in previous years while
occupying the White House by ex
perts from the executive oflice and
, the Treasury Department, but when
approached on the subject a few days
before leaving Washington for his
Warm Springs vacation, the President,
who was absorbed in other and more
important matters said there was no
hurry and that he would make it out
himself when he got to Warm Springs.

CONVICTED SLAYER
Los Angeles Woman Begins
Fourth Day of Strange
Sleep.
E.v the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 15.—Helen
Wills Love, convicted husband slayer
who boasted "I can make myself die
whenever I want to,” began the fourth
day of a strange sleep today, insens
ible to pain or sound.
For a second time, her trance-like
condition prevented her from being
taken to court for sentence. Her
conviction carries a penalty of from
seven years to life in prison.
The 31-year-old woman was con
victed of slaying Harry A. Love last
New Year eve at a beach club, where
he went with his socially prominent
mother.
Since she slipped into the coma last
Thursday night, all organic functions
of her body have ceased, aside from
breathing and blood circulation.
“She is suffering from a catatonic
condition, a form of stupor brought
on by extreme mental strain,” said
Dr. Benjamin Blank, county jail phy
sician. He continued administering
intravenous solutions of glucose and
normal saline.
‘‘It is impossible to say just what
the outcome may be,” he added.
Ammonia fumes and pin pricks,
usually of avail in "sham” cases, have
failed to arouse her. Her brother,
Harry Wills, said she once before ex
perienced a similar coma without ap
parent ill effect. He said soft music
had aroused her on the nrevions nrra.
sion.

NOUSE APPROVES
ART GALLERY BILL
Passes Measure Providing
for Construction of
Mellon Building.
Tive House by unanimous consent
today approved without debate the
Keller bill providing for construction
and maintenance of the National Gal
lery of Art, Andrew W. Mellon’s $65,
000,000 gift to the Nation.
The bill provides for construction
of the building at an estimated cost
of $10,000,000 on the Mall site be
tween Seventh and Fourth streets,
Constitution avenue and the north
Mall drive. This building would house
the Mellon art collection, representing
works of art acquired from the Her
mitage Gallery in Russia.
The original cost of the collection
was about $35,000,000 and its present
value is estimated at $50,000,000. The
bill also authorizes an endowment
fund of $5,000,000, primarily for com
pensation of the principal officers of
the gallery, including a director, as
sistant director, secretary and chief
curator.
This art gallery, to be placed under
the Smithsonian Institution and to
be maintained and administered by a
bureau in the Smithsonian, under di
rection of a board of trustees com
posed of the Chief Justice of the
United States, the Secretary of State,
Secretary of the Treasury, secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution and five
general trustees. These general
trustees are to be private citizens
chosen by the regents of the Smith
i sonian Institution, subject to the ap
proval of the donor.
Meanwhile Chairman Keller of the
House Committee on the Library in
troduced a bill similar to the one
introduced in the Senate last week
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mas

Fourteenth streets at an estimated
cost of $4,800,000 The new Smith
sonian Building would supplement the
National Gallery of Art, which is Mel
lon's gift, and would be devoted par
ticularly to contemporary art.
