From America she brought with her more than 1,000,000 trance, new and untried manager, Baldwin M. Baldwin, and 80 she insisted, a heart as yet untouched by cupid's arrow. A crowd of friends, tennis followers and newspaper folk, swarmed about the tennis queen as she stepped from the steamer LaFrance at Le Havre today. One of the first, questions popped to her was whether, in addition to her many activities in America, she had plighted her troth. Suzanne, said no, but she said it with a smile.

Neither she nor Mr. Baldwin seemed a bit embarrassed at the general circulation of rumors they intended to make their partnership more than a business one. The young Californian remarked that he had no thought of such a thing. With Suzanne and Baldwin was Howard Kinsey, American tennis star. Mr.

In brief it is her desire to make as much money as quickly as possible. As for mariage, it is far from her mind, she said. Suzanne liked America so well that she was not at all sure that she was happy to coming back home. She would have liked to remain longer, and wanted to go back next year. The best of all the states she said was California.

Department of Labor This model playground plan has been adopted by the Lincoln recreation board in its decision to make Pentzer a model playground. The $50 cash award and the $50 In shrubs awarded to Pentzer recently in the Harmon foundation national contest for playground beautification, will be used toward developing the model playground.

The model shown here, made for the United States children's bureau, suggests five acres of ground, rectangular in shape. Pentzer meets that requirement, and all the other Improvements made at Peatzer fit In with the plan, so that nothing done thus far will have to be undone. The plan provides for a swimming pool, baseball diamonds, tennis courts. space for tree play, with various equipment, and is arranged to afford recreational facilities for a mall children as well as for older boys and girls. It is not the intention that the plan be completed at once, but it is the ultimate end to which all Improvements will lead.

The model also provides a definite plan for all future work in developing playgrounds in Lincoln. LINCOLN AIRPORT: MAY BE MAIL STOP GOVERNMENT ENGINEER REPORTS FAVORABLY. Project to Be Discussed Greater. at Lincoln the Chamber Luncheon of Commerce. WILL CARRY FIGHT TO NEXT CONGRESS FRIENDS OF FARM BILL ING PLANS ACCORDINGLY.

Attempt in Senate to Pass It Over Veto Put Over Until Monday -Substitute Makes No Headway. WASHINGTON, Feb. Determination to continue the fight for enactment of the MoNary-Haugen farm relief bill in the next congress was expressed today at both ends of the capitol by supporters of the measure as senate vote on the question of overriding President Coolidge'8 veto went over until next week. Senator McNary, republican, Oregon, chairman of the agriculture committee and co oL the equalization fee proposal, attempted to bring a vote on the veto, but he was ruled out of order and later announced that the rollcall showdown on sustaining the president would come Monday. Senate leaders, favorable to the bill freely admitted that the veto would be sustained, and inasmuch as they are not disposed to make any effort to get thru a substitute in the few remaining days of the session it appeared certain that no general farm relief legislation would be enacted by this congress.

Substitutes Get Nowhere. In the house, however, several attempts were made to get action on substitutes for the McNaryHaugen measure, but they got nowhere. Both Representatives Aswell. of Louisiana and Crisp of Georgia, democrats, sought to call up their relief bills, but they were checked by opposition from MoNary-Haugen bill supporters. The two southerners charged that backers of the McNary-Haugen bill were blocking real relief for the farmers, but Representative Haugen, republican, Iowa, co author of the proposal, retorted: want legislation that will relieve but not a subterfuge." "It is time to quit playing polltics and pass a reltef bill that the president would sign," Representative Crisp came back.

Convinced that there is no chance of getting their bill passed over the president's veto, its supporters are laying plans to line up increased support for it in the next congress SO that they can command enough strength then to pass it over a veto. President Feels Sustained. President Coolidge believes his veto of the McNary-Haugen farm bill has been favorably received by the American people Telegrams on the subject poured into the white house last night in a volume that officials said established a record. They declared the messages showed support for the president's stand from all sections of the country. Frank 0.

Lowden, former: governor of Illinois and a leader in the farm relief movement, came into the western political spotlight almost as soon as first word of the veto reached the farm centers. Sixty-one Iowa legislators hailed him as the real representative of the farmer and in a petition wired to the former Illinois executive requested that he enter the race for the republican presidential nomination next year. The Iowa legislature also adopted a resolution asking congress to pass the bill over the president's veto. Mr. Lowden, reached at the San Marcos desert camp in Arizona, as he was about to go for a horseback ride, declined to comment, saying he had "made no statement and do not anticipate making one." Forecasts that the veto would affect Mr.

Coolidge's support in the west were given strength in comment by leaders sympathetic to the bill who emphasized it would prove highly disappointing to people of that section. Says President Consistent. SANTA BARBARA, Feb. (P) -Charles D.
