WOMEN DISAGREE
OVER COURT PLAN
Democratic Club Speakers
All Favor Measure, Says
Mrs. Wheeler.
By the Associated Press.
Dissention over the President’s
court reorganization proposal has
cropped out in the National "Women's
Democratic Club here.
Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler of Mon
tana, wife of one of the proposal’s
most vigorous opponents in the Sen
ate, said club programs have featured
three speakers for the court reorgan
ization without once presenting the
other side.
As a result, she said, several Sena
tor's wives have discussed resigning.
“We are a little disturbed,” Mrs.
Wheeler said, “at the tendency within
the club not only to favor, but to pro
mote the court plan.”
Some club officials replied that they
intended to have Senator Wheeler
present his side of the court contro
versy in a speech to the club, but that
so far he had been too busy.
At the club's final Spring banquet
Thursday night, Gov. Clifford M.
Townsend of Indiana told the Demo
cratic women that his State “wants
action” and that its people have sent
the President word to “go ahead with
his drive for judicial reform "
Mrs. Edward Keating, the club's
entertainment chairman, said the In
diana Governor was invited to speak
"because we wanted an outstanding
man” without consideration for his
views one way or another on the court
plan.
Club speakers who advocated court
reorganization at earlier meetings.
Mrs. Wheeler said, were Senator Black,
Democrat, of Alabama, and Senator
Minton. Democrat, of Indiana.
Scrubbing Is Penalty.
SALT LAKE CITY (.'Pi—It was
wash day for Merl Worthington, 20,
who painstakingly scrubbed with soap
and water every inch of a curbing
stop sign. Justice of the Peace Fred
Lindbeck ordered him to scour the
sign for having failed to observe it.

Publicity Written
At Price of Blood
By Students’ Duel
By tlie Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. May 22.—Two Los
Angeles junior college students dueled
to the blood—one drop—yesterday,
but it was all just a school publicity
gag anyhow, said Fencing Coach John
Tatum.
Tatum said the duelers. Bob Cousi
neau and Harold Bauer, used the
regulation epee of Olympic games and
wore all customary protection except
canvas jackets.
Cousineau pinked Bauer on the
right forearm and won.
Tatum said the match, staged on
the campus to cheers of several hun
dred students, was sanctioned by col
lege authorities to advertise the
“Spring fencing dance" today.
"It succeeded,” Tatum commented.
EPISCOPAL FIGHT LOOMS
OVER REMARRIAGE RULE
:
Whether Church Will Permit Di
vorced Persons to Rewed Be
comes Live Issue.
Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 22 —Discussion
of the long debated question whether
divorced persons should be permitted
to remarry was renewed today in the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
Headquarters of the church an
nounced it anticipated the question
would come before the triennial con
vention in Cincinnati in October.
While a group of Providence, R. I.,
churchmen expressed opposition to
lowering the bars against remarriage
of the guilty party in a divorce, the
liberal view was expressed by Rev.
George C. Anderson of Philadelphia
that "We need a newr interpretation of
the principle of marriage to replace
that made in the middle ages.”
MISS EARHART’S PLANE 1
DAMAGED BY FLAMES
Fire Bursts From Engine Few
Minutes After She Lands
at Tucson. Ariz.
By (he Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz., May 22—Amelia
Earhart’s $90,000 flying laboratory
was slightly damaged by flre a few
minutes after she landed at municipal
airport last night.
She had left the plane when flre
was discovered in one of the motors.
Attendants said the motor must have
become overheated on a test flight
from Burbank, Calif. They said the
plane could be repaired here.
The flight was only Miss Earhart's
second in the ship since it was re
paired of damages incurred on her
unsuccessful world jaunt two months
ago.
Miss Earhart was testing it pre
paratory to a second attempt to girdle
the globe by air.

‘Overturning’ of Vehicle
Proves to Be Small
Accident.
‘ A school bus has overturned at
Dupont Circle.”
This report to newspaper offices
sent reporters and photographers
scurrying to the scene yesterday aft
ernoon.
They found a Frederick County,
Va., school bus, loaded with 30 laugh
ing boys and girls, sitting upright
and obviously unharmed. Behind the
bus was a taxicab with a scraped
fender.
"Take our picture,” several of the
youngsters cried.
“Wait a minute—I'll get out and
pose,” another called.
Police took the names of the drivers,
Loring E. Cornell, 33, Rural Route 3,
Winchester, Va., in charge of the
bus, and Charles E. Welch, 676 I
street, the hacker.
As one photographer prepared to
take a picture of the group in the
bus, Cornell finished his business with
the police and the other driver
hopped behind the steering wheel
and drove away.
Thirty disappointed faces peered
from the bus windows as the vehicle
moved away.

SHOOTING MYSTERY
Columbus Girl Found Dead in
Bath Room Wounded in
Heart After Party.
By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 22 —The
death early today of Virginia Dillon,
18-year-old Ohio State University Art
School model, baffled investigators
seeking to determine if she was a
murder or suicide victim.
Shot In the heart, the pretty girl
was found dead in the bath room of
her home, a few blocks from the cam
pus district, shortly after midnight.
Police reports first listed the death
as a suicide, but members of her
family refused to accept that theory
and Coroner Edward E. Smith ordered
an autopsy.
A revolver was found near her
body, but Jack Dillon, brother of the
young divorcee, expressed belief she
may have been shot elsewhere, but
that she tried to take the blame for
the shooting.
"Prom the way the gun was found,
I believe she went to the bath room
to hide it,” Dillon told police. ‘‘It
looks like she was bending over to
shove it under the tub when she fell
to the floor.”
Dillon said he had picked up his
sister after she had visited a beer
tavern with several other girls. Ha
said she may have been shot before
he met her.

DEATH INVESTIGATED
MANILA, P. I., May 22 (>P).—Police

they would investigate other possibili

Her husband yesterday expressed
the opinion she had been slain in the
apartment where her body was found
last Wednesday morning. After an
extended conference with police today,
however, he said he was convinced
his wife shot herself and he would
