FRENCHFRBNTIER
Combat Squadron Ready
To Force Down Planes
In Forbidden Zone
PARIS, April 26 (U.R>—Angered by:
four alleged illegal flights of Ger-
man airplanes over French frontier
fortifications, the air ministry is-
sued final warning today that com-
bat planes would force down any air-
craft that flew over the forbidden
zone.
Blank shots will be fired first
from anti-aircraft guns to warn off
encroaching planes, it was learned.
Unless the planes turn back to-
ward Germany, specially equipped
combat squadrons will go up alter
them.
Instructions Issued
These combat planes will have
orders to surround and force down—
without a collision — the foreign
planes.
The air ministry, in issuing its
warnings, said its measures were
made necessary to protect the sec-
recy of the great defense works
along the German frontier.
It Is particularly necessary to pro-
tect work being done in the forests
of Alsace and Moselle. Army en-
gineers are using French troops and
Senegalese soldiers from Africa in-
stead of civilian workers to keep
activities secret.
Combat planes detailed to chase
invaders will have orders to pursue
them to the frontier, but in no cir-
cumstances to cross.
Secret Fortresses
Tlie government attaches tre-
mendous importance to the secrecy
of its new frontier fortifications.
Legends are growing up around
them. They are without doubt the
most formidable defeases of the
sort ever conceived. For miles and
leagues, through department after
department, they are largely under-
ground. They are of steel and con-
crete and. almost unnoticeable from
the earth, they penetrate far be-
neath the surface to give shelter
to men and materials. They link up
with each other in a series of great
fortresses and machine gun em-
placements.

NEW ORLEANS. April 26 (4*1 -
An eight-point program designed to
alleviate the present cotton prices
was offered today by A. E Hohcn-
berg of Memphis, president of the
American Cotton Shippers associa-
tion, before members gathered for
the eleventh annual convention of
the association.
Hohenberg told the assembly,

the American crop, it was essential
for the association to assert Itself,
both tn the Interest of economic
sanity and for Its own self-preserva-
tion.
Reviewing the government's cot-
ton program, lie stated that while
the new deal philosophy was aimed
at creating the greatest good for the
greatest number where cotton was
concerned, they had made throe er-
rors: first, the mixing of politics
with cotton; second, the "non-la -
mented farm board"; and third, the
attempt to peg the price ut 12 cents.

Mysterious shootings which brought

Ills chauffeur and possible fatal In-
juries to another in the film capital
during the night were reported as
murder and suicide today by the
sheriff's office.
O. H. Cloud, sheriff's deputy In
charge of the case, said Paul Ivar
Wharton. 25. designer of clothes
for film actresses, was shot by Wil-
liam Howard, 35. former navy en
sign und later Wharton's chauffeur.
Cloud said Howard later shot and
probably fatally wounded Henry E
Bolte. 38. law Instructor at the Uni-
versity of California at Las Angeles.
Quarrel Over Money
After Injuring Bolte, Cloud said.
Howard shot and killed himself.
The slaying of Wharton was the
tragic climax of an intimate supper
party attended by two guests In Ills
Hollywood apartment studio. The
other shooting occurred later In un
apartment several blocks away.
Cloud said the sheriff's office was
convinced the shootings were moti-
vated by financial differences In-
volving the three men and that a
violent quarrel eourrming money
Wharton and Bolte owed Howard
preceded the shootings.
Treasury’s Buying Figure
Due To Advance
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Silver soared again today as the
New York price for the metal was
set at 81 cents an ounce, up 4 cents
following early sharp advances in

ters.
By the day's advances through-
out the world, attention was focus-
ed on Washington wiiere many ex-
pected a further advance in the
treasury's buying figure for do-
mesticly produced metal whicli ut
77.57 cents un ounce was well be-
hind the International level.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 26 (IP)—
A special election July J to submit
constitutional amendments for rev-
olutionary revision of state govern-
ment was recommended to the leg-
islature today by a Joint conference
committee appointed for that pur-
pose.
The committee of five senators
and five representatives voted to
submit:
1. An old age pension with recom-
mendations for strict limitations.
2. Homestead exemptions up to
$1,500.
3. Reorganization of the school
land office, abolishing the present
school land commission.
4. Suffrage permitting women to
hold certain state offices Including
that of governor.
Another Rejected
The committee unanimously reject-
ed another amendment for the short
ballot, giving as Its reason the fear
that the short ballot vote would kill
all the other proposed amendments.
Calling of a special election vir-
tually would necessitate a special
assembly session In August or Sep-
tember to vitalize the amendments
in the event they receive a majority.
Committee Busy
The house school land investigat-
ing committee hastened to comple-
tion today a report on its findings
as Speaker Leon Phillips announced
lie would support moves If evidence
warranted tt.
Representative J. W. Cox of Cim-
arron county, committee chairman,
said the report would not be filed
until late today or tomorrow. He
guarded carefully its details as two
school land appraisers were sum-
moned for questioning.
The house meantime adopted a
conference report on the state's
funding bond measure 55 to 35.
Gov. E. W. Marland. an ex-officio
member of the land commission, de-
clined to comment on the investiga-
tion but three other commissioners
issued statements urging the investi-
gation to "go to the bottom."
