STATE PRESIDENTIAL
CONVENTION
HOUSTON, Texas, May 22.—Prohi-
bition and the election of a national
committeeman from Texas are the
two overshadowing issues ahead of
the democratic state convention, which
meets Tuesday, with Soihe rumblings
Sunday over selection of a_ tempo-
rary chairman and keynoter '"for the
convention.
As to the latter mutterings, Sena-
tor Walter Woodul of Houston, state
director of the Garner campaign or-
ganizations, said with emphasis Sun-
day that “Sam Rayburn will be elect-
ed temporary chairman of the conven-
tion and make the keynote speech.
You can put that down as no mis-
take.” This statement was made to
a group' of newspaper men in the
presence of Mr. Rayburn, who appear-
ed to accept its finality in the tones
used by Mr. Woodul, for in a few
minutes Rayburn was answering or
refusing to answer questions regard-
ing his speech. All he would say was
that “it will be a democratic address
to a convention of democrats.”
Since Woodul represents the ele-
ment opposed to any declaration on
the prohibition issue, he virtually
pledges his faction as supporting Ray-
burn over Charles I. Francis of Wich-
ita Falls, known to be favored by the
liberals. If Francis should b£ pres-
sed it would bring an immediate test
of the convention strength of the re-
pealists and those opposed to any
declaration on prohibition.

LONDON, May 22.—Amelia Ear-
hart Putnam, smiling lone flier of
the Atlantic, flew from Londonderry,
northern Ireland, to London today,
landing in a terrific thunderstorm at
Hanworth Airdome to complete her
overseas trip from New York.
“I don’t mind the rain,” she said
in the downpour in which she arrived.
“I got used to it Friday night.”
Thousands, believing she was com-
ing to Croydon Airdome, gathered
there to welcome her. Only a few.
including a delegation from the Amer-
ican embassy, headed by Ambassador
Andrew W. Mellon, were on hand, at
Hanworth when the slim blonde fliei
arrived in a borrowed plane from
Ireland, where she ended her ocean
flight yesterday.
Earlier in the day Ambassador
Mellon had telegraphed g tnessage to
her, expressing his gdpiiration of her
achievement and inviting her to come
to the embassy and be the guest of
his daughter, Mrs, David K. F. Bruce,
the embassy’s official hostess.
It was there she was taken after
the welcome at Hanworth to spend
the night and perhaps several days.
Borrows Clothes,
Both Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. David
E. Finley, wife of the first secretary
of the embassy, who was one of those
who met her at Hanworth, ransacked
their wardrobes to find clothes to fit
the slight woman who is the only
person in the world to have crossed
the North Atlantic twice and the only
woman to have crossed it once alone.
Miss Earhart came to London in
the clothes in which she flew from
New York—jodhpurs, a kahaki shiri
and a leather flying suit.
She still had most of the $20 which
was her sole supply of cash, but
friends hei*e received $500 cabled from
her husband in New York, George
Palmer Putnam, the publisher, to be
given her.
Her quiet smile fand gay manner
made friends instantly with the Eng'
lish people.
Like a Good Girl.
A score of British newspaper men
shot questions at her. She answered
with a quickness and wit that brought
roars of laughter.
“Have you talked to your hus-
band?” one of them asked.
“Oh, yes! The first thing I do al-
ways is to check in like a good girl,”
.she said.
“Happy?” she was asked.
“Yes, awfully,” she said. “But I
knew I could do it.”
The night arrival was so staged as
to give a newsreel concern, which had
i befriended her, a sort of monopoly,
j It was for this reason that the des-
tination was kept secret.
Rival newsi’eel men were excluded
from Hanworth’s grounds and there
were several free-for-all fights when
cameramen appeared from the bushes
and attempted to take pictures any-
way,
One of these fights Occurred just
as Ambassador Mellon was speaking
his word^ of greetings to Miss Ear-
hart,
HOPEWELL, N. J., May 22.—The
Lindbergh murder investigators took
advantage of a spring Sunday’s calm
to unwind a tangled skein of clues
today and to dismiss Dean H. Dobson-
Peacock as “insignificant” in their
main quest!
On official police bulletin so classi-
fying the Norfolk, Va., clergyman
was regarded as afi indication the
combined state and federal forces now
are determined to press the pursuit
of the baby killers without permit-
ting side issues to occupy a moment
of their time.
The intensified attempt to track
down the actual kidnapers, now that
the mythical negotiations have been
swept from the picture, centered in
a hunt for the rum runner who de;
scribed two days before Charles Aug-
ustus Lindbergh Jr., was1 found dead,
how the child had been killed and
where the body had been secreted.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, chief
of the investigation, said the search
was still going on,
There is a possibility this unnamed
character may hold the key to secrets
of what is already one of the world’s
strangest crime mysteries.
He has boasted, it was disclosed
yesterday, that he knows several of
the band which perpetrated the fiend-
ish kidnaping and killing.

The baccalaureate service for the
senior class of the Lampasas high
school was held Sunday morning at
the First Baptist Church. The church
was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion, with cut flowers and potted
plants. The processional was sung by
the choir and at this time the senior
class, in caps and gowns, entered and
took their seats in the section reserv-
ed for them with the school colors.
The class was accompanied by the
high school faculty.
The doxology was sung by the con-
gregation after which the invocation
was given by Rev. Lawrence Williams,
pastor of the Central Christian church.
A hymn was sung by the congrega-
tion after which the scripture read-
ing was given by Rev. W. M. Lane,
pastor of the Methodist church. The
offertory was played by Miss Mary
Marrs, teacher of music in the school.
The anthem, “Safe in His Arms,” was
sung by the choir and then the ser-
mon was delivered by Rev. A. F.
Avant, pastor of the Baptist church.
Rev. Mr. Avant had a beautifully pre-
oared' sermon for this occasion and
held the closest attention of the en
tire audience throughout his sermon.
A hymn was then sung by the con-
gregation and the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Wentworth A.
Riemann, pastor of St'. Mary’s Epis-
copal church and the recessional was
sung by the choir.

The lesson-sermon subject was
“Soul and Body” in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, Sunday, May 22.
“Know ye not that ye are the tem-
ple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?” was the golden text
taken from 1 Cor, 3:16.
The service included the following
passage from the Bible (2 Cor. 5:1):
“For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dis-
solved, we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens.”

BLANTON ON THE TRAIL
(Dallas News)
The resignation of William W.
Smith as chief counsel for the Vet-
erans’ Bureau is unimportant in it-
self, but in the life of Representative
Thomas Blanton from the Seventeenth
Texas District the departure can bd
checked off with another notch on
the gun. When Mr. Blanton elects
to become the bloodhound of Con-
gress, he stays on the scent until he
has -finished the job.
For months and very nearly single-
handed, he turned his fire on Fred-
erick A. Fenning when the latter was
made Commissioner of the District of
Columbia by President Coolidge. Mr.
Penning stood fourteen months of it
and then resigned. Mr. Smith consti-
tutes Exhibit A, in Mr. Blanton’s at-
tack on highly. paid Government em-
ployes who are simultaneously draw-
ing war disability pay. Now Mr.
Smith is leaving. In his individual
case, the attack is based on qualifica-
tion for the post as well as on the
extraordinary history of his disability
pay claim. Yet it is probable that
the Blanton revelations will result in
a radical reshaping of the personnel
policy of the bureau. It has already
brought a White House recommenda-
tion as to effective legislation.
Mr. Blanton has his critics and has
had his disagreements with the Texas
delegation. Not all of his own State,
perhaps not all of his own district,
is always in accord with his meth-
ods. But he is of peculiar service to
his country as well as to his consti-
tuents. Once convinced of a flaw in
public service, of official inaptitude
or laxity, he becomes a relentless
Norfleet on the trail. He may not
always be right, but the point is
that he gets his man.
CLOTURE RULE SUGGESTED
by Utah senator
WASHINGTON, May 22.—Grimly
determined, Senate leaders met threat
with threat Sunday as they gathered
forces to push through the vital $1,-
000,000,000 revenue bill to balance
the budget.
Continuous day and night sessions
and the use of drastic cloture rule
shutting off debate was the answer
Sunday of the veteran Senator Smoot
(rep.), Utah, in charge of the. tax
measure, to the challenge of Sena-
tor Tydings (dem.), Maryland, to seek
500 tariff amendments.
Behind the bogged revenue bill are
the all-important economy and un- j
employment relief measures, and all
are going to be passed before the
Senate quits, the Senate chiftains as-
serted.
There was still a faint hope that
the tax bill might be finished this
week and an adjournment brought
before the republican national con-
vention opens June 14. However,
President Hoover called upon the re-
publicans to forego the convention to
finish the job and they have thrown
away plans for attending the meeting.

(Jasper B. Sinclair, in our Dumb
Animals.)
In the story of the Creation birds
are the second of the creatures en-
dowed with life. First came the den-
izens of the sea, then the birds. Af-
ter the account of the Creation one
of the earliest mentions of birds is at
the time of the deluge. When Noah
was desirous of ascertaining whether
the waters were subsiding, it will be
recalled that he employed two kinds
of birds, first a raven, and then o
dove.
Birds are also mentioned in the
passage of the Israelites through the
desert. At one of the times when
starvation, faced them it is told that
“there went forth a wind from the
-Lord, and brought quails from the
sea, and let them fall by the camp.”
This is one of the earliest records of
bird migrations.
There are at least 300 different ref-
erences to birds in the Bible. Thirty-
one species are mentioned. One Fun-,
dred and thirteen of the birds men-
tioned are general in the sense that
they are simply called “birds.” The
rest refer directly to certain species.
The dove is mentioned 35 times, the
eagle 32, the raven, cock and hen are
mentioned 12 times each. The owl i§
mentioned 11 times, the pigeon ten,
the sparrow seven, the stork six, the
pelican five, the quail, swall-ow and
vulture four times each, the ostrich,
bittern, peacock and cormorant three
times each, the crane, partridge os-
Sifrage, ospray, kite, cuckoo, hawk,
heron, nighthawk and lapwing twice
each. The glede, swan and gier eagle
are mentioned one each.
