WASHINGTON. June 1—UF
— Veterans’ leaders have named
June 16 and June 17 as “stay-
at-home nights" for men who
are expecting parcels of bonus
"baby" bonds from the govern-
ment.
Because the registered parcels
must be handed to the veteran
in person, and not to someone
else at the same address, vet-
erans units in cities and villages
throughout the country are
making special plans to aid the
postman in making deliveries.
James E Van Zandt, com-
mander of the Veterans of For-
eign Wars, said today the ex
soldiers’ organizations plan to
place automobiles at the dis-
posal of postmen in many cities,
and will send veterans along
with the mailman to help him
identify the addressee and
make delivery.

His cabinet approved a project by
which each part becomes an admin-

Thirteen charges of speeding
A Sinclair gasoline truck blazed
Saturday afternoon when a tossed
match ignited fuel that had spilled
on the ground as the gasoline pump
tanks were being filled at a filling
station in the 1100 block on North
Locust Street.
Firemen, battling a fierce blast of
flames that wreathed the truck in
fire, fought the blaze until they
could reach the cutoff and stop the
flow of gasoline—almost certainly
thereby preventing an explosion
that might have spread death and
Injury over crowds of spectators
that pressed in a semi-circle about
the scene.
With the flow shut off, the blaze
was extinguished before it badly
damaged the truck. Considerable
damage was done the filling station

It was the only alarm of the
week-end. Early Monday a run was
made when a smoking car caused
its driver to fear fire was starting,
but the -danger had been averted
when firemen reached the vehicle.

Predictions that President Roose-

among some administration sup-

As the 74th Congress entered
what leaders fervently hoped would

tom by internal dissension over
taxes, and also found itself at odds
with the House on the issue
Moreover, the $2,370,000,000 re-

TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras,
June 1. —IP— President Juan

Managua today against a rebel-

ican - trained physician and
former Washington diplomat
was deseribed In fragmentary
reports across the border as
trapped with 300 loyal soldiers in
his capital.
Of that total, four students re-
ceived the master of arta.degree,
74 the bachelor of arts and lU the
bachelor of science.
Forty-eight of the number were
honor graduates.
Last spring 183 degrees were con-
ferred. •
Degrees and honors were con-
ferred by Dr. L H Huubbard,
president of the college, who also
introduced the commencement
zens chosen by the viceroy from es-
tablished merchants and industrial-
ists and six chiefs and notables
chosen among East African sub-
jects.
The cabinet declared "the great-
est guarantees" for the Mohamme-
dan reigion. At the same time the
Coptic Christian Church was made
the object of explicit regulations
because of its connection with the
Coptic Church of Egypt. These reg-
ulations. however, were not an-
nounced immediately.
It was stated. however, that the
Coptic Church of Ethiopia now is
reunited with the patriarchal See
of Alexandria and the Egyptian
Coptic Church.
Traditionally. Alexandria was the
mother church of the Coptic sect
to which Ethiopian bishops held
ecclesiastical allegiance.
In recent years the connection
has been broken off and the Coptic
Church nationalized.
The cabinet's move was believed
in diplomatic circles to be a ges-
ture toward Egypt as an effective
means of linking Ethiopia and
Egypt in at least sentimental bonds.

Great Heritage
"Yours is no mean heritage."
Mrs Joseph reminded the class.
"Back of you there lay a vision of
Texas girls trained, not only in ths
high aims of home-building, but in
the liberal arts as well. With that
vision there was allied an undaunt-

an institution which, because of the
strength of Its entire administra-

the University of Texas.
"When this college opened in
September, 1903, 190 girls matricu-

women who throng this beautiful

The commitment was presented
when police took Zioncheck to Gal-

at the Naval Hospital. During the

called at the White House executive
offices twice, asking to see the presi-

The commitment said:
