The controversy which arose is the result of the omission of the barrier from the recommendations ""of the Joint legislative committee for units of the cooperative plan that should be taken up Immediately. The committee recommended .the Kennett dam, the San Joaquin canals and pump stations and participation in the Santa Ana river Iflood control. : Senator Will R.

PRESS RAPPED FOR ASSISTING

REHT FIASCO Speaker Declares Publicity on Stribling-Sharkey Bout Was To Save Weak Venture (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 18.-The attitude of American newspapers toward the Sharkey-Strlbllng fight at Miami last February was sharply criticized today by W. P. Bearell, assistant managing editor of the New York World, before the convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Addressing a group of Beveral score editors and publishers from practically every section of the country, Mr. Beazell declared that "In no sense of the word was there any real sporting reason for that uout" It was planned, he said, "to RflV If possible, & foundering amuse ment venture of Jack Dempsey's s Jid Tex Rickard's which could not have been 'put over" if the newspapers had not 'come to the rescue.' " Mr. Beazell said a sDeclal train waa run by the promoters from New York to Miami for correspond ents covering the fight and that the promoters Dald for tha news papermen's board bills and entertainment "You may not know that lust nn New York newspaper failed to accept the hospitality," he added. -.Most or tne stories from Miami," Mr. Beazell continued, "could not have been more on the boost side If the promoters themselves had written them. I tell you that newspapers that fall for things like that make a sad show of themselves when they talk about the menace of press agents." The New York World editor de clared newspapers were losing their sense of proportion about sporting news and urged editors to scrutinize such news with the same at titude and restrictions as other news. Walter M. Harrison, editor of the Dallv Oklahoman and Oklnhnnm City Times who is president of the society, urgea tne society adopt an amendment to its constitution which would permit It to discipline or expel any member editor whose newspaper violated the ethics of the profession. He also warned editors to be on guard against any legislation such as the Minnesota Injunction law, which would limit the freedom of the press.

DEBENTURE TO FINISH BASIS FDR STRUGGLE

Senate Bill Includes Exports Fee While House's Measure Opposes Its Inclusion (Continued from Page One) per bushel in the case of wheat, $10 per bale on cotton and similar increases for other commodities. Opponents claim it Is In reality Government subsidy for agriculture since the treasury will bear the cost In reduced customs receipts. Representative Williams, Illinois, Republican, who opened debate on the House bill, said the farm problem cannot be solved by "a subsidy which is paid directly out of the treasury or is disguised in the form of a debenture bonus certificate on exports." The equalization fee, twice rejected by President Coolldge, would have imposed upon the farmers benefited the cost of disposing of their surpluses abroad. This, too, was denounced by Williams and has been abandoned by most farm leaders and organizations despite the belief of many that it still offers the best hope for permanent farm relief. Except for the debenture provision, which would authorize the proposed Federal farm board to Invoke this plan if it considered such action necessary, the bill is almost Identical with that presented by Chairman Haugen of the House committee at the opening session Monday. Following the program outlined by Mr. Hoover In his message to Congress, it authorizes creation of a board with power to administer a revolving fund of $500,000,000 to assist farmers in marketing their crops. The board would lend necessary sums to cooperative marketing associations and organize stabilization corporations with authority to buy crops and market them In an orderly way at home. There would be one corporation for every Important commodity such as wheat, corn and cotton. Profits from the operations of the corporations would go Into reserve funds and losses would be borne by the Government as owner of the capital stock. A movement is on foot to parole a young woman in Ohio who beat her husband to death after he refused to go to a party with her. She has been in prison for several months, which makes it appear her case has been sadly neglected.

Hoover Renominates Eight Out Of 10 Judicial Selections of Coolidge Caught in March jam Former Senator Lenroot May Have Customs Court Position but Hasn't Decided

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 18. President Hoover returned to the Senate today the names of eight of the 10 men selected by President Coolldge as circuit and district judges and whose confirmation was blocked by the legislative jam In the closing days of the seventieth Congress. Those who failed of selection by the new chief executive were Lloyd B. Stryker as additional district judge for southern New York and Henry H. Glassle of Maryland, a former member of the tariff commission, who was nominated by Mr. Coolldge as a justice of the District of Columbia supreme court. Stryker was replaced by Alfred C. Coxe of New York, while Alfred A. Wheat of New York, acting solicitor general of the United States, was nominated In place of Mr. Glassle. Mr, Wheat had been chosen by Mr. Coolldge as an additional Judge for the eastern New York district, but since he Is not a legal resident of that district, Mr. Hoover chose for that place Clarence G. Galston, a New York attorney. The four circuit Judges renomi nated by President Hoover were his friend, Curtis D. Wilbur, secretary of the Interior; Archibald K. Gardner of South Dakota; George T. McDermott, of Kansas, and Orie L. Phillips of New Mexico. Besides Galston and Coxe, the ad ditional district Judges named for YE EDITOR ASTRAY (Continued from Page One) of both architectural and construction faults, the legislature sent abroad for experts, who have okehed the structure from lta foundations to the dome, one of them being thus quoted: "I think Nebraska owes a great debt of gratitude to Bertram Goodhue for having given It such a marvelous and worldfamed building as the new capltol." But the critic Is always with us, and generally unhappy. T Weather note the forecast was rain for eastern Nebraska, and the weather man was wholly correct We got the first showers at Kearney, but at Columbus and thence east It is a downpour, and two wandering Callfornlans who love to travel In the rain are merely wishing that California might have some of what Nebraska seems to need so little. you leave your

New York state were Frances G. Caffey and John M. Woolsey, both of New York city, who will serve on the district bench for Manhattan and the Bronx. Another renomination of a district Judge was that of A. Lee Wyman, of South Dakota, as an additional judge for the district of South Dakota. J, Lyles Glenn, of South Carolina, was appointed an additional Judge to serve In the eastern and western district of South Carolina. President Hoover still has to name an additional judge for the eastern

New York district and an associate Judge of the court of customs ap peals. Formor Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, was selected for the customs court by President Coolldge, and can have the nomination from President Hoover If he so desires. He had not yet decided, how ever, whether he will have his name returned to the Senate, where some opposition to his appointment arose at the last session. Upon receiving the judicial nominations, the Senate referred them to the Judiciary committee, which will consider them either tomorrow or Monday. At the same time the Senate con firmed the nomination of Charles J. Rhoads, a Philadelphia banker, as commissioner of Indian affairs, which previously had been ap proved by the Senate Indian committee, i While his nomination was not transmitted today, it became known that President Hoover has selected E. S. Church, a Hartford, Conn., insurance man, aa commissioner of pensions to succeed Wlnfield Scott, whose resignation has been .accepted. While no opposition has devel oped in either case, the Senate inter-state commerce committee decided today to hold brief hearings on two of the nominations made yesterday by President Hoover, Major Gen, Charles McK. saltzman, retired, as a member of the radio commission, and C. R. Colcultt, of Texas, as a member of the railway mediation board. BOILS CARBUNCLES 10 QUICKLY IniUnt comfort with Ctrbolt Contains ipoctal iacrodionte that qaicklr draw out core.
