Bergdoll Evader Reported Driving Toward Mexican Border
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, a wealthy draft dodger who escaped custody in Philadelphia May 21, is said to be attempting to reach the Mexican border. He is traveling with a companion and a chauffeur in a car, with authorities in seven Arizona counties alerted. A San Antonio dispatch says they passed through Texas toward Arizona, likely aiming to cross into Mexico where the Rio Grande would require federal inspection at fords or bridges.

French Temps Editorial Attacks League Over Persia Crisis
The Temps editorial criticizes the League of Nations for failing to aid Persia against Soviet Russia. It argues the charter binds all nations to respond to threats affecting any member, while the league only offers a polite note of acknowledgment as Soviet forces threaten Tehran. The piece also comments on Lloyd George's meetings with the Soviet envoy, suggesting his stance echoes Jeffersonian legitimacy of governments formed by will of the people.

Soldier Bonus Bill Dead Reclamation Is Expiring
Unexpected opposition grows in the senate public lands committee to the Borah soldier land reclamation bill. Senator Norris of Nebraska opposes, urging referral to the finance committee alongside the cash bonus bill, which is dead. Chairman Smoot seeks a committee meeting before adjournment, but many senators have not studied the provisions. Secretary Payne sends support but says Congress must work out details. The finance committee plans no meeting before adjournment, dooming the bonus bill. The House passed it by a large margin, but without a Senate vote before adjournment its fate is sealed. The Senate will not reconvene until after the election.
