POLICE COURT AIDE INDICTMENT SEEN Criminal Charges Also Loom Against Several Bonds men. SHERWOOD REPLACED AS FINANCIAL CLERK Department of Justice Investi gators Continue Probe—Re port Findings Guarded. Indictment of one Police Court attache and possible criminal charges against several bondsmen were fore seen today as the new District grand jury prepared to consider evidence Uncovered by the Department of Jus tice in a lengthy investigation of alleged irregularities in the Police Court. The court employe faces indict ment for an alleged shortage of $1,250 discovered in his accounts by special agents of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation. It is reported he has made a full confession. His case will go to the grand jury Thursday or Friday of this week and an indict ment is expected early next week. Coincident with preparations for grand jury action. Presiding Judge Gus A. Schuldt of the Police Court announced the appointment of Wilmer 6. Schantz to succeed Clayton B. Sherwood as financial clerk of th court. Confirms Report. The announcement was the first official confirmation of reports that Sherwood had quit his position perma nently. It had been reported he was on indefinite leave. Sehantz, former assistant financial clerk, has been act ing as financial clerk in Sherwood’s absence. One phase of the investigation by the Department of Justice concerns the activities of five bondsmen. It was indicated the investigators are not fully satisfied with their findings in this respect and a further study will be made before grand jury action is taken. A decision on this matter is expected within the next few weeks. Alleged improper conduct on the part of some bondsmen precipitated the investigation and resulted in the appointment of a committee by the District Bar Association to inquire into the charges. The committee re ceived confidential testimony from several witnesses, but has taken no public action. Report Is Guarded. It also has been reported that the Department of Justice men discovered other irregularities in the court. These reports, however, have not been veri fied, since the lengthy report sub mitted by them to their superiors has been closely guarded and officials have refused to release any part of it for j publication. Assistant United States Attorney Henry Schweinhaut, who will present the case to the grand jury, said his only witness this week' wall be C. B. Bolden, an agent of the Division of Investigation. In addition, the jury J will be shown records said to reveal the alleged defalcations of the court official. Appointment of William J. Zepp, former recording clerk, as assistant financial clerk, also was announced today by Judge Schuldt. Schantz has been attached to Police Court for 8 years. He resides at 459 Delafield place. Zepp, an employe of the court for 4 years, resides at 117 Hesketh street, Chevy Chase, Md. Judge Schuldt said that as a result of the Justice Department's recom mendations. the court has instituted a number of reforms in administra tive procedure. It plans to make further improvements, he stated. Bond Recording Changed. Details of the suggested changes In the. report are regarded by the judges as confidential. Judge Schuldt said. All of the proposals, he explained, were constructive and designed to facilitate effective administration of justice. Among improvements already made, it is known, are new and more effi cient systems for recording bonds, issuing informations, keeping books and filing papers. The Federal Bureau of Investigation centered attention on the bonding situation and on the recording of penalties and other actions of the court. There had been complaints that court papers were ‘‘lost.” that fines were improperly listed and that other irregularities were complicating justice in the Police Court. The judges of the court were never under J suspicion in the inquiry. Attorney General Cummings has said.

Five Bandits Executed. VLADIVOSTOK. Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, July 9 (TP).—Five members of a bandit gang, convicted of 10 murders, were executed today. Young Lawyer Appointed To Succeed Judge Given Name of Walter J. Casey Sent to Senate by Roosevelt.

Retired Police Captain’s Daughter to Get Judge O’Toole’s Post. The end of 42 years spent In the District Police Court was in sight to day for Judge Ralph Given when President Roosevelt failed to reap point him. The vacancy was filled by Walter J. Casey, 39-year-old at torney. a stranger to every judge of the Police Court. Casey has been practicing here since 1926. He is a graduate of Georgetown Law School. The President also appointed Ellen K. Raedy. daughter of Retired Police Capt. Michael Raedy, as a successor to Municipal Judge Mary O’Toole, whose term expired more than a year ago Judges George C. Aukum and Nathan Cayton were reappointed. The nominations, sent to the Senate today were made on the recommenda tion of Attorney General Cummings. Judge Given’s appointment by Presi dent Coolidge apparently classed him as a Republican. A resident of the District of Columbia he never had voted nor taken any active part in politics of any party. Both Judges Aukum and Cayton are classed as Republicans. Miss Raedy and Casey are Democrats. The reappointments of Judges Au kum and Cayton came as no surprise, inasmuch as both had enviable rec ords and notable indorsements of members of the local bar. The selections of Miss Raedy and Mr. Casey were a complete surprise t>| the legal fraternity of the city, j^rticularly the latter. Miss Raedy is a native of Washing ton. She lives at 1407 Delafield place and has been practicing law in this (See JUDGES.:Page 5.) JUDGE RALPH GIVEN. WALTER J. CASEY. —Harris-Ewing Phota6. FLOOD AID RUSHED; DEATHSJOTAL 37 Bright Sun Aids Workers in New York State. 2,000 Homeless. By the Associated Pres«. ALBANY. N. Y.. July 9—A bright sun poked from behind storm clouds today as Upstate New York pushed relief work in the wake of flood waters that brought death to 37 persons and caused property damage ranging around $10,000,000. Eight persons were still missing and more than 2.000 temporarily homeless in a score of villages and cities. The American Bed Cross at Wash ington rushed relief workers into the area, and Gov. Herbert H. Lehman co-ordinated State agencies, including the National Guard. The summoned heads of six State departments to the executive chamber to obtain reports and map a program of relief. Lack of potable water still remained a serious problem to some communi ties, and Dr. Thcmas H. Parran. jr., State health commissioner, issued a warning that it be boiled before drinking. Railroad Crews Toil. Emergency crews were rushed to washout scenes to repair railroad beds, giving ruse to hope resumption of train service running through the southern tier would be effected by nightfall. A dozen town and cities near the Pennsylvania border within a 50-mile radius of Binghamton appeared to be the worst sufferers. Also seriously affected was the territory 60 miles or more northwestward, in the heart of the famous Finger Lakes region around Watkins Glen. The disaster by localities: Ithaca—Three hundred temporarily homeless housed at R. O. T. C. drill hall, Cornell University. Lower busi ness section and houses flooded. Waters slowly receding. Hornell One thousand refugees being cared for in private homes and many persons using their automobiles as homes. Water receding. Water, gas and light services out of com mission. Nearby Alfred lost part of utilities services. 300 Ousted at Bath. Bath—Three hundred forced to evacuate homes. No utility service operating. Water mains damaged. Delhi—Four feet of water swept through town, flooding cellars and first floors. Water receding. Watkins Glen Several hundred (See FLOOD. Page 3.) Cardinal La Fontaine Dies. VENICE. Italy.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN. July 9—Germany con centrated her new naval building pro gram today on submarines—the dread U-boats of the World War. forbidden I to the Reich by the Versailles treaty. A communique, based on Germany’s 1 naval agreement with Great Britain, disclosed that 28 submarines are pro vided for in the 1935 naval building program, three already launched. The program also included construc tion this year of two battleships, each of 26.000 tons displacement and armed with 28-centimeter guns: two cruisers, each of 10,000 tons displacement and carrying 20-centimeter guns, and 16 destroyers of 1.625 tons, with 12.7 centlmeter guns. 250-Tan Subs. A size of 250 tons was prescribed for 20 of the submarines, with two of 750 tons each and six of 500 tons. The first of the 250-ton craft in the underseas fleet went into service June 29—just 11 days after conclusion of the Anglo-German naval agreement, putting their navies on a permanent 100—35 basis. Two more have been launched. The communique explained the speed of the construction by asserting that the keels of some units already were laid this year. Construction of airplane carriers was put over for the 1936 building program, with a year’s course of prep aration to precede this building. The Versailles treaty limited Ger- many’s navy to coastal defense strength and submarines were banned to her. Under the naval agreement with England, however, the Reich opened the way for a submarine fleet equal to Great Britain’s, provided that the question be submitted first to “friendly discussion.’’ French naval authorities, protesting against the “document signed by two governments in violation of the Ver sailles treaty," said it would lead to enlargement also of the French Navy. Italy Also Protests. Italy, too, protested that German naval rearmament should be a question for discussion by the signatories of the Washington naval limitations treaty. 4 NEW PARALYSIS CASES IN VIRGINIA Victims in Southern Counties Rising Flood Traps Thousands In Sweeping on Chinese City CCopyright. 1935. by the Associated Press.1 CHANGTEH. Hunan Province, China, July 9.—The people of this city clambered for life like rats to night as a devastating flood engulfed Changteh and the surrounding coun try. Intermittently working telegraphic service permits the Associated Pi-ess to inform the world of the disaster which is taking place here. Every dike but one protecting the city from Yunan River and Tung Ting Lake has collapsed. One hundred thousand homes within Changteh are already under 10 feet of water as this is written shortly before midnight. The flood 1s still rising. The people are clinging frantically to anything above water, stationary or floating. Property within the city and for miles around have been obliterated. Fire is adding to the horrors. Only Changteh’s ancient walls save the city from being wiped off the map. The American Northern Presbyteri an missionaries are attempting to dispense whatever relief is possible, but their efforts are merely a drop in this ocean of disaster. Numerous buildings of this mission are among those already under 10 feet of water, but those remaining are being kept in use by the brave missionaries. All areas outside the walls have long since been submerged. The ancient citjt within the walls is help less-waiting. Outside the waters slowly climb. There, seemingly limit less expanses of water spread. That portion of Changteh which still is alive looks to be a huge tub in the center of a vast lake, which stretches in every direction farther than the eye can reach. The water still is rising. Bring iotai ior juiy Up to 23.. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., July 9. —Pour new cases of infantile paralysis were reported to the Virginia Health De partment today as State and munic ipal health officers throughout the Old Dominion intensified their fight against the spread of the disease from North Carolina. The four cases—all from Southern Virginia counties—brought the total for the first eignt days of July to 23 and the number since June 1 to 75. Two are in Halifax County and one each in Nansemonci and Pittsyl vania Counties. In the town of Blacks ton* alone have health authorities issued manda tory orders forbidding children in at tend theaters, Sunday schools or other public gatherings, but warnings against such assemblies were ex pressed today by Dr. I C. Rlggin. State health commissioner, and health officer of Virginia cities Dr. R W. Garnett, Danville health officer and Dr. G. Colbert Tyler, health officer at Newport News, issued similar warn tap. V LEAGUE MAY MEET IN EXTRA SESSION ON AFRICAN CRISIS Meeting Likely in Spite of Threat Rome Will Quit Body Then. CONCILIATION HEARINGS IN HOLLAND COLLAPSE Italians Refuse to Allow Ethio pian to Testify Incident Scene Was in His Territory. By the Associated Press. LONDON. July 9—An extraordi nary meeting of the League of Nations Council and Assembly was forecast today in an official communique. Ital ian circles in Geneva have predicted Italy would resign from the League if a special session were called on the Ethiopian question. The communique was issued follow ing conferences by Joseph A. C. Ave nol. secretary-general of the League, with Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secre tary of Great Britain, and Capt. An thony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs. It said Avenol called on Sir Samuel and Capt. Eden and ‘'discussed various questions which will be dealt with by the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations in the near future. Since the next regular session of the League is scheduled for Septem- j ber, ‘'near future” was taken to mean an extraordinary meeting was likely I King George Consulted. Avenol's conferences with Sir Sam uel and Capt. Eden were held sep arately after the foreign secretary had talked with King George half an hour. A clarification of whether Ethiopia expects to seek arms in Great Britain is expected with the arrival of the new Ethiopian Minister, announced by the legation as Warqnex C. Mar tin. Martin already is here, but pend ing the presentation of his creden tials at the foreign office, he has with held all comment. Avenol came to London in an effort to bolster the League and keep peace In East Africa. Newspapers displayed prominently today the foreign secre tary's statement to the House of Com mons yesterday that the responsibility for preventing an Italo-Ethiopian con flict Is a collective and not an indi vidual one. Embargo Held I’nlikely. Informed British circles, while de nying that British munitions were moving toward Ethiopia, expressed a belief today that the government probably would not place any embargo in the way of Emperor Haile Selassie, should he turn to Great Britain after rejections elsewhere. Despite repeated rumors that Ethi opia had approached British munition manufacturers, it was learned official ly that no application had been made to the government for the export licenses which would be necessary. Peace Effort Fails. SCHEVEN IN GEN, The Netherlands, July 9 (/P).—The conciliation com mission seeking to avert war between Italy and Ethiopia decided today to suspend its hearings indefinitely. The members arranged to depart immediately, having already com municated their opinions to the agents of the governments they rep resented. The two Italian delegates were re ported to have refused to hear a wit ness for Ethiopia after a meeting, held late yesterday in an attempt to reconcile differences, broke up in failure. Another meeting was called today, with observers predicting free ly a collapse of the commission. Italians Oppose Testimony. An angry scene was reported to have developed when Prof. Gao ton Jeze, legal adviser to the Ethiopian government, asserted that Ualual, scene of the first major frontier in cident, was in Ethiopian territory. The Italian representatives en tered a strong protest against such testimony, asserting that the com mission was empowered to consider only the causes of incidents. They insisted they would hear no more evidence from Prof. Jeze. When the Ethiopian adviser persisted in giving his views the session ended. A proposal to call in a neutral fifth member to resolve the deadlock had been discussed, but the Italian rep resentatives, awaiting instructions from Rome, had not yet agreed to such a step. Rome Is Adamant. Press dispatches from Rome re ported authoritative sources as say ing they regarded the breakdown of the commission session as the death of that body. These sources indicated Italy now would oppose the nomination of a neutral fifth member on the ground that the commission suspended work after an Ethiopian representative tried to inject into its discussion the delimitation of frontiers. Rome May Quit League. GENEVA, July 9 \JP).—Italian cir cles predicted today that Italy would resign from the League of Nations if a special session of that body were called on the Italo-Ethiopian conflict —but a special session appears likely because of the breakdown in the con ciliation commission proceedings. A resolution adopted by the League Council May 25 provided a special session of the Council should be called July 25 if the Italo-Ethioplan abri trators failed to reach an agreement and failed to appoint a fifth arbi trator to act as umpire. It also pro vided for a Council session August 25. at all events, if the dispute had not been settled by that time. Salt Lake City Shaken. SALT LAKE CITY, July 9 OP).—An earthquake of sufficient strength to awaken sleeping residents and rattle dishes and pictures shook Salt Lake City and vicinity at 3:53 a.m. (Moun tain standard time) today. The first shock was followed by sev eral slight tremors. The temblor took a directional movement north and south.

REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THEY MET IN CAPITOL R. F. C. Lawyer Told Him to Vote for “Death Sentence” or Lose Dam, He Repeats. By the Associated Press. Representative Brewster. Republic an, of Maine, threw the House Rules Committee utilities lobby investiga tion into a momentary uproar just before the close of its first hearing today when he shouted, ‘‘You’re a liar,’’ at Thomas Corcoran, R. F. C. attorney, who was on the stand. Corcoran had just described as “baseless” an assertion by Brewster, a former Maine Governor, that the R F C. attorney had threatened to stop work on the Passamaquoddy tide harnessing project if the Representa tive did not. support President Roose velt on the utilities bill before the House. Concluding a long recitation of his contacts with the former Maine Gov ernor, Corccran said that just before the vote Brewster indicated he not only would not make a speech for manda tory abolition of holding companies but would not vote for it. O’Connor Bangs Gavel. Corcoran said Brewster asked if he thought it would be all right "if I just ducked back to the hotel and not vote "You’re a liar,” Brewster shouted from his seat, farther down the com mittee table. While Chairman O'Connor banged his gavel and admonished the wit nesses against such outbursts, Cor coran dismissed Brewster's heated as sertion with a shake of his head an: continued: "I told him to go on in and vote for I couldn't think any worse of him Brewster said Corcoran had threat ened to stop work on the project in the presence of Dr. Ernest Gruening. di rector of the Interior Department's territories division. He said Gruer. ing also had urged him to suppor President Roosevelt. Corcoran Prepares Statement. In a prepared statement Corcorar. set out "a summary of my entire relations with Mr. Brewster Here is Corcoran's account of the disputed conversation: "I therefore said to Mr. Brewster in effect, if your peculiar critical po sition is so delicate as you say. I want to make it clear that I am not accusing you of running out, but that it is best that you and I be brutally frank now to avoid personal mis understanding as to our relations on ‘Quoddy’ in the future. “If. as you say, you are not a tre? mar. politically and must take power company support into your calcula tions, then you'll understand perfectly from now on you can't expect me to trust you to protect 'Quoddy’ or trust your assurances that we'll get that Maine Power Authority out of the Maine Legislature. Says Meeting Mas Arranged. "Mr. Brewster said he wanted to see me and that he was making ar rangements to see Dr. Ernest Gruen ing. I told Mr. Brewster that I would prefer to see him at the same time that he saw Dr. Gruening so that the conversation could be 'three-cor nered.’ "Talking alternately to Dr. Gruen ing and to me, Mr. Brewster arranged an appointment with both of us for 1:45 in Statuary Hall in the Capitol. The vote was to come between 2 and 2:30. I met Dr. Gruening in Stat uery Hall at 140. Mr. Brewster was late. He arrived at 2 minutes of 2 The vote occurred at 2:10. “Mr. Brewster then made it clear to Dr. Gruening and me that he was not only not going to speak for the substitution of the Senate sections but that he was not going to vote for them. This was the first indication I had had that he would not even vote for the amendment. Says He Said Nothing. "Dr. Gruening argued with him, while I stood by saying nothing. "Dr. Gruening's argument in sub stance was that to refuse to vote for the Senate amendments would run contrary not only to the specific ex pectations Mr. Brewster had given as to his action on the bill, but was directly contrary to what Mr. Brew ster had always agreed upon with Dr. Gruening as fundamental philosophy on the power issue.” As if in answer to intimations that the lobby inquiry might be a white wash, House Rules Committee Chair man O'Connor sought and obtained last night the approval of the House for a resolution arming the committee with power to subpoena witnesses. A request for $50,000 to conduct the in quiry also is pending. O’Connor Fledges Full Inquiry. The earlier resolution had granted neither funds nor tile power of com pelling testimony. Representative (See UTILITIES, Page 4.) 10 LIHIDDERS Pledges to Observe Future Wage-Hour Legislation Ruled Not Binding. A stop-gap arrangement in the ab sence of recovery act codes, under which it was proposed to bind all per sons entering into contracts with the Government to abide by any future legislation covering wages, hours of labor and employment ages, has been knocked in the head by a decision of Controller General McCarl, it was disclosed today. The proviso may be viewed only as a "request" on potential bidders. Mc Carl held, in a decision to the ad ministrator of veterans' affairs in which he said a bid could not be re jected because the person making it refused to subscribe to this principle. The plan was advanced from the Procurement Division of the Treasury, which proposed that the agreement replace the requirement for code com pliance on all Government bidders, knocked out when the recovery act was voided by the Supreme Court. General Law Cited. In view of the requirements of the general law on Government con tracts—namely, that they go to the lowest qualified bidder—“there appears no authority of law for requiring bid ders and prospective contractors of the United States to agree to such pro vision as a condition precedent to con tracting with the United States.” Mc Carl said. The decision also repeated a portion of a letter from McCarl to the Treas ury on June 24. in which he sug gested that there should be some stat utory support for the proposed bidding restriction. “The provision.” he wrote, “reserves the right to modify the contract in the event subsequent legislation should require observance of minimum wages, maximum hours, etc. and to sucn ex tent as there mav be involved in ad justments additional drains on ap propriations there seem* essential ’a statutory requirement as basis there fore, else adjustments might cieate deficiencies in contravention of law and thus would be unauthorized, not withstanding anv administrative reservation in contracting. Contracts obligating appropriations must be defi nite and certain.” In the current decision McCarl also repeats that where bids, based on code compliance, still are open, they must be revoked, and new offers asked. BANK BILL SPEED URGED BY O’CONNOR Informs President Prompt Action Is Necessary “to Clear Atmosphere.’’ J. F. T. O'Connor, controller of the currency, reported to President Roose velt today a need for prompt action on the banking measure "to clear the atmosphere.” "It is vital that business and the Government know as soon as possi ble,” O’Connor said, "what the new banking law will be and what regula tions are necessary.” The legislation, already passed by the House, is now before the Senate, with an early vote in prospect.

If a fellow had $10,000,000 and his old dad tried to leave him a legacy of $10,000,000 more, there wouldn't be much fun in it ex cept for the tax collector. That is. there wouldn’t if Con gress should decide to enact one of the 29 alternative wealth tax schedules now before a House committee for consideration. The schedule calls for sky rocketing inheritance taxes in cases where the beneficiary of the legacy already has scads. The son who already had $10, 000.000 would have to pay 94 per cent of the second $10,000,000 to the Government. So he would get only $600,000 of it. Says Wilson “Brings Justice Into Disrepute” in Vir gin Islands. By the Associated Press. Asserting that Judge T. Webber Wilson was “bringing the administra tion of American justice into disre pute in the Virgin Islands.” Secretary Iekes today demanded his removal for “judicial misconduct." The judge, appearing as a witness against Gov. Paul M. Pearson in a Senate investigation of the Virgin Islands administration, testified yes terday that "administrative interfer ence" with justice in the islands had been attempted there and that he had been threatened with being “put on the spot” in the newspapers unless he granted a new hearing for a Govern ment employe in a criminal case. Secretary Iekes. at a press confer ence, also assailed the conduct of the Senate committee's investigation and said he had expressed his views in a letter to Chairman Tydings, Demo crat. of Maryland. He renewed his protests against the committee's re fusal to permit him to cross-examine witnesses. Held Opinion Long Time. Referring to Judge Wilson, a former member of Congress from Mississippi, the Interior Secretary, under whose department the Virgin Islands are ad ministered. said he had felt for a long time that Wilson should be dismissed, that he could be removed at the pleas ure of the Attorney General. Ickes declined to say whether he had taken his protests to President Roosevelt or Attorney General Cum mings. Recalling the Leonard Macintosh case, which was cited by Judge Wil son yesterday, Ickes renewed his as sertion that Wilson had acted “as prosecutor, judge and jury." "His Justification,” he added, “was that it was permitted under the Dan ish code, but that is utterly abhorent to the ideals of Anglo-Saxon jurispru dence." “Harangues" Charged. Secretary I ekes complained that Judge Wilson had fined the Govern ment prosecuting attorney “because he didn't appear in a case that wasn't on the docket,” and added: “Wilson was always haranguing the mob from the bench. He allowed a gentleman from Harlem, Casper Hol stein, to make a speech.” Reverting to the conduct of the Senate inquiry, he asserted that if the committee “wants to bring out the facts” they should allow him to cross examine witnesses. "The hearing ought to bring forth just a few facts,” he said grimly. “The only witnesses have been those I have discharged for inefficiency, incompetency and disloyalty, Mr. (Charles) Gibson and Mr. (Paul) Yates.” Meanwhile, Yates, a former news paper man who was ousted as Gov. Pearson's administrative assistant, continued his testimony before the committee with a charge that Pear son tried to “buy up the press” and control public opinion in the islands and in the United States. Yates at one point quoted the 64 year-old Governor as saying “I am (See VIRGIN ISLANDS, page 4.)

TAX BILL LIMITED TO ORJGINAL PLAN: Committee Decides to Have Hearings Only on Levies Roosevelt Wants. By the Associated Press. Unanimous decision to limit the tax bill to levies only on individual and corporate incomes, inheritances and gifts was reached today by the House Ways and Means Committee. Proposals for broadening President Roosevelt’s tax program to include sales taxes and other "nuisance” levies, as well as other revenue problems, were discussed, but the decision was to confine the legislation to the points outlined originally by the President. After a brief committee session to- I day Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina told newpaper men "We agreed unanimously to limit the hearings to the proposals outlined in the President's message. Everybody knows we cannot go over the whole tax field without indefinitely prolong ing the hearings and the session of i Congress.” Final Bill May Be Limited. Members interpreted the decision to limit hearings as a tacit agreement j to limit the finally-approved bill. The New ''ork Board of Trade's support for increased taxation as a means of balancing the budget, but its strong opposition to any "class legislation" taxes, were expressed to day before the committee. M. L. Seidman. representing the New York agency, interpreted the President's suggestions as having been I made not only to raise revenue, "but' also, and perhaps chiefly, with the view of redistribution of wealth.” ••The Board of Trade.” he said, ‘‘is unequivocally and most emphatically i for increased taxation, but voices1 strongly its opposition to class legis lation." Budget Balancing Desired. Its ideas, he continued, are: “That the new revenue legislation should be passed solely for the pur pose of balancing the national budget. "That the practice of meeting defi cits by borrowing more money should be abolished as quickly as possible. "That the imposition of new taxes be paralleled by effective steps to reduce our governmental expendi tures “That the increase in taxes should be applied not only to the higher income and estate tax brackets, but that taxes on all incomes and on all estates should be proportionately advanced." The idea of an enforced leveling down of big fortunes. Seidman said, is not new, but “practical obstacles have been recognized and common sense has prevailed." Such a policy, he asserted, is based on the assumption that no one de rives any benefit from wealth unless he owns it. Corporate Tax Opposed. Seidman likewise protested against the proposal to replace the present flat per cent corporate income tax with a graduated rate on the conten tion that the latter “would be a hard ship upon stockholders having small incomes but owning stock in large corporations.” He indorsed the proposal of a con stitutional amendment to permit tax ation of tax-exempt State and Fed eral securities. “Whatever be the basis of tax re adjustment,” the witness said, “let (See TAXES, Page 4.) McCarl Bars $12,455 Payment Morgenthau Oives Cummings Secretary of the Treasury Morgen thau owes Attorney General Cum mings $12,455.44, but Controller Gen eral McCarl won’t let him pay off. The indebtedness resulted from the action of the Department of Justice in being big-hearted and coming to the aid of the Treasury in prosecut ing a claim for $1,275,644.52 against Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the board of the National City Bank of New York, through the Board of Tax Appeals. Wanting outside counsel in the case, which Involved collection of income taxes reputedly overdue, the Treas ury, barred from using Its own ap i propriation for such purpose, pre vailed on the Department of Justice to “underwrite” the services of the special aides. It was when Justice sought reim bursement from the Treasury, after paying counsel, that McCarl stepped in, and. It was disclosed today, he has refused to review his action. When It is not lawful for you to do something for yourself, you can’t hire some one else to do it, McCarl said, in effect. Incidentally, the case, heard a year ago, when it attracted national atten tion, is still hanging fire. A.

GUFFEY BILL OPENS ERA OF PROBLEMS If Constitutionality Is Up held, Business Must Sur render to Politics. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. A thousand different legal opinions, aays President Roosevelt, could be ob tained on the constitutionality of the Guffey coal bill—but the Congress of the United States would appreciate just one. Under the Constitution, the Presi dent may require from the Attorney General a written opinion on any legal question, and there is ground for the belief that the Department of Justice has furnished an opinion to the White House declaring that, oased upon de cisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, the proposed measure Violates the Constitution. Will Congress have the benefit of that opinion or will it be pigeon holed? President Roosevelt has startled members of Congress with this bold essertion: “I hope your committee (House Ways and Means Committee) will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block this leg islation.'' Reverses Theory. Heretofore, Congress has been led to believe that all doubts on proposed legislation should be resolved in favor of the Constitution and not in favor of some particular group of citizens who would be benefited by the law. Mr. Roosevelt would reverse that his toric position. His theory is that neither the President nor the Con gress need give weignt to constitu tional principles if the executive and legislative branches happen to favor a particular piece of legislation. He might have said, to be sure, that neither the President nor Congrees need run the risk of hostility from minority groups, but that all such re sentment should be piled up against the Supreme Court instead. The consequences of Mr. Roose velt’s philosophy in this regard may be far-reaching. It may mean a galaxy of damage suits against all Government officials who seek to en force unconstitutional laws. Here is what Andrew McLaughlin, noted pro fessor of history in the University of Chicago and author of an important Work called “Constitutional History of the United States.” says on this very point: “A question, possibly answered with difficulty, would, or might be. whether the President or a member of Congress can constitutionally and properly vote for a measure when a substantially identical bill has been judicially proclaimed unconstitution al. But there would seem in prin ciple to be no doubt of such a right in the legislative body, which in cludes the President. Binds No One. “The propriety and wisdom of such action is a different matter and must be decided by circumstances. Obvi ously a studied determination by the legislators to pass measures which the courts will not recognize as law may be nothing more than a proof of ob stinate stupidity; and on the whole, the important fact is that decisions by the Supreme Court have come to be considered, as a practical fact, de terminative of what the Constitution is. "But with all it must be remem bered that no one is bound by an unconstitutional act. Such an act is not law. In strictest theory, it binds no official and no person whatever. And if no one objected to a law, it would be difficult or impossible for a court to pass upon its validity. An officer carrying out an unconstitution al act, before as well as after a judicial declaration of unconstitution al^. may be personaUy liable for in vasion of private liberty or property. May Disobey. “Any private person has the right and it may be his duty to refuse to obey an unconstitutional act. But if he is held by the court to be wrong in concluding that an act is uncon stitutional and therefore to be dis regarded. he has to take the con sequences. This same principle may be applicable to the President, but in his case the tribunal qualified to con demn him would probably be the Senate sitting as a court of impeach ment.’' Has an identical bill to the Guffey coal bill ever been passed on by the Supreme Court? There are two fea tures in the Guffey bill—one relates to the use of the taxing power to compel businesses to accept a code, and the other is an outright prohi bition of the facilities of interstate commerce to any coal company that doesn’t accept the code. The Supreme Court disposed of the misuse of the taxing power in the ao-called second child labor case. As for the right of Congress to substi tute the phrase "to prohibit commerce among the States” for the phrase in the Constitution “to regulate com merce among States,” the Supreme Court In a unanimous opinion said that one who engages in interstate commerce does not thereby submit all his relations to the regulatory power of Congress. The decision is especially important now that the American Federation of Labor is recommending to the Presi dent that legislation be passed requir ing all businesses engaging in inter state commerce to be incorporated or licensed by the Federal Government, an action which would be plainly un constitutional. Power Plainly Limited. Since the Supreme Court has said that mining is wholly a local matter it is difficult to see how the courts could sustain the Guffey bill, which would prohibit the use of the mails or other Interstate facilities to all who engage in the business of buying and selling the coal after it is mined. The power to regulate is not the power to prohibit or to set up all businesses in Interstate commerce as public utilities subject to Federal control. If the Guffey bill were held con stitutional it would change the form of our Government completely and would put the dry goods business, the shoe business, the products of all fac tories and plants clearly under the Federal Government, which could make any rules it pleased governing wages, hours, unionization and even prices. No such power is vested in the Federal Government by the Constitu tion, and so long as the present mem bership of the court is maintained, there is no likelihood that the Guffey bill could ever be held valid. These being the opinions of competent law yers from one end of the country to the.other—for the issues have been passed upon dozens of times—the ques tion still remains why the President urges Congress to disregard the Con stitution and the precedents that have grown up through decades of judicial iiistory, (Copyright, 1885.) What’s What Behind News In Capital Hull’s Irritated Tattoo Beats Out Answer to Haile Selassie. I BY PAUL MALLON. WHAT State Secretary Hull would like to find out is who wrote that note for Haile Selassie If the Emperor did it himself, he Is a smarter Ethiopian than anyone thought, and worthy of haunting any international woodpile. Apparently Hull was stunned at first by the embarrassing appeal to us to enforce our Kellogg peace pact. At least he stalled for time by asking the American charge at Addis Ababa for "a full report”. Impatient and annoyed, he strummed his desk, and searched the ceding of his office for an answer. Eventually he found one before the “full report" came from Addis Ababa. He dashed it off, took it with him to the Friday cabinet meeting and President Roosevelt signed it immediately. There is nothing in the story that Hull was unable to think of any answer at all and that Mr. Roosevelt wrote the response. Casts Doubt on Faitb. The response was that President Roosevelt was gratified that the League of Nations was trying to settle the dispute: that the pact of Paris was important, too: and (with further evasive ponderosity) that we were "loath to believe" Italy and Ethiopia would fight about such things. How much Hull believed his own words is evidenced by the fact that he immediately slipped the word to his legation at Addis Ababa to get all Americans out of Ethiopia before the war started. Hull may have found better answers on his ceiling in the past, but at least this one let every one know he is not going to get mixed up in the Ethiopian mess, even if he never finds I a particularly good reason why. A reorganization of housing agencies is being planned by Mr. Roosevelt to take effect right after Congress ad journs. The big shot in the new scheme will probably be John H Fahey, chairman of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp. The crowd at the Federal Hous ing Administration will be reno vated and remodeled. Control probably will rest in a co-ordinating committee headed by Fahey. Func tions will be more clearly defined to eliminate overlapping and cur rent contusion. President Roosevelt is bent on stimulating this phase of the New Deal. Fahey rates the Job because his H. O. L. C. is the best run of the housing groups. He is a former president of the United States Cham ber of Commerce and a New England insurance man. The A. A. A. dealers are preparing for a shock. They expect it from the Massachusetts Circuit Court of Ap peals in the Hoosac Mills case involv ing the processing tax. Test in the Making. This is the first case to reach an appellate court. The Government won in the lower court, but the three appeal judges have delayed a decision since April 23. when arguments were closed. This delay, coupled with some other aspects of the case, has ,ed Gov ernment attorneys to mope among j themselves about the prospects. They also fear that this wiU be the first processing case to reach the Supreme Court. It may assume the importance of the Schechter case. Galling also is the fact that the Hoosac Mills is none other than William M. Butler, former Republican chairman, friend of Coolidge. He is the receiver for the company. You never hear much any more about the Washington press corps being seduced by the Government press agents or about the influence wrought by Mr. Roosevelt's sociable smile.. On the contrary, there are vague murmurings among New Deal ers that the newsmen have turned against President Roosevelt; that they are now hostile. There is no more substantial basis for the second assertion than there ever was for the first. Both contain about 20 per cent of truth. The fact is, a flow of new* has set in against the President. News men did not make the Supreme Court decision on N. R. A., the House insurrection on the utility bill or the reaction to the tax plan. On a broad general average they merely are reflecting a turn of events. Some are hostile, some are not. There has been little change. As tor the press agents, some few of them have taken advantage of the cessation of attack to swerve their ac tivities. Some (not a majority, per haps) have forgotten the fact they are public officials and have become per sonal press agents for whatever boss happens to be over them. They have begun functioning somewhat like the Hollywood press agents trying to pub licise movie stars. In many cases this is not the fault of the press agent, but of the bosses, who want to see their names in print every day. The result is not helpful either to the New Deal or to newsmen. Let it be recorded for the record that the man who put his foot down on new expansive N R A. legisla tion was Attorney General Homer Cummings. It was he who prevailed over the combined proposals of N. R. A.-er O’Neill and four Federal Trade com missioners at an uni ecorded White House conference about two weeks ago. They wanted joint action on new codes containing labor as well as fair trade practice provisions. Also they had ideas about further strengthen ing legislation at this session Casts Legality Doubts. Cummings was ’’amazed” at their audacity. He is supposed to have told the President it meant venturing into a shadow land of legality. Mr. Roose velt agreed. Hanco th* N. R. A. ia to bt what GUFFEY AND T. V. A. Trade on Support Is Re ported Sought in House Agreement. By the Associated Press. House friends of the T. V. A were reported today to be seeking a "gen tlemen's agreement" with Guffey coed bill advocates to support administra tion amendments strengthening the Tennessee Valley Authority act. In exchange for this support, it was said, the T. V. A. backers are prepared to vote for the Guffey measure when it reaches the House floor. This development became known as the House entered its second day of debate on the T. V. A. bill, with j friends and foes alternating in prais ing and lambasting President Roose velt’s power "yardstick” project. The first votes on amendments are not ex pected before tomorrow. Changes Forecast. Speaker Byrns expressed the belief the House would accept some of the changes in the pending bill demanded by the administration. The present measure is a compromise worked out by the House Military Committee aft er being deadlocked for week*. Representative HU1. Democrat, of Alabama, leader of the fight to lib eralize the measure, said that unless administration amendments are ap proved the House might as well "throw it in the waste basket." One change sought is elifhinatlon of the section forbidding T. V. A. to build transmis sion lines substantially paralleling ex isting power iines. Aiding Hill is Representative Mav erick. Democrat, of Texas. He dis tributed copies of the proposed amend ments yesterday and predicted they would be adopted by a margin of 50 votes. However, Chairman McSwain of the Military Committee has given his sup port to the compromise bill. He con tended some of the administration amendments would be unconstitu tional. Liberal members of the House sought the floor today. They were generally silent yesterday as Republi can and Democratic foes of the bill attacked it. Some Republicans as serted the T. V. A. wanted "extra and unreasonable powers." On the other hand, Representative Turner, Democrat, of Tennessee praised the agency as “one of the greatest undertakings of the Govern ment.” Six hours of debate were allowed. Voting on the controversial sections was not expected before tomorrow. Among other changes sought by the administration are elimination of sec tions which would bar sale of power and fertiliier below costs of production after January 1, 1937, and subject the authority to strict auditing by the Controller General,

Br the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS July •—A fresh blast against the New Deal admin istration by Senator Huey P. Long was centered today on his accusation that Prealdent Rooaevelt la “a liar and a falter.” Riding the crest of another surge of legislation which gives him un precedented control over the State of Louisiana, Long assailed the Pres ident last night with a personal de nunciation unmatched in his previous attacks on the administration. His accusation came during a radio speech in which he touched on the recently enacted old-age pension bill. Explains Pension Plan. “Let me tell you about this Roose velt pension plan,” the Senator said. "Under It there are 280.000 persons in Louisiana who would qualify, and Louisiana would get about $1,000,000 which would mean that the State's old-age pensioners would get about $3 60 a year or a little less than 1 cent a day. “That's what Franklin Delano Rooae velt sends you down here. “Franklin Roosevelt is a liar and a faker. Now let them Indict me for that and 1 11 prove him a liar.” Interspersed with the attack was another tirade against Long's political enemies and a review of the work of the recent legislative session at which the General Assembly broadened the Senator's control over the State to an almost unlimited degree. Long's blast was followed by sharp pokes at Mr. Roosevelt on his t&x the-rich and relief programs. Cite* Relief and Polities. Explaining enactment of a State law making politicalisation of Pederal funds a misdemeanor punishable by mandatory jail sentence. Senator Long said: ‘The President has declared againat use of relief funds for political pur poses and we decided to take him at his word. But I wouldn't believe him on oath “Mr. Roosevelt put a half-baked apple in his mouth and said these s no politics in relief. There'd better not be In Louisiana or well fill these dadgum jails full of your henchmen.” He frequently referred to his share the-wealth program and accused the President of "cribbing” it from him. “Roosevelt declared for share-the wealth and proved everything I’ve been saving.” Long said “It's up to him to perform," he added "If he does. I’ll take back every word I said I'm going to pin him to the wall and hold his feet to the fire. If he does it, I’m with him.” Long's address was delivered 24 hours after bis subservient Legisla ture adjourned sine die, with him in full command of the State’s militia, school teachers, municipal employes, State funds and Just about everything else connected with the SUte's gov ernment. N. R. A. DISMISSES 240 OF FIELD FORCE Another Like Cut Expected*6oon. Reduction Slow Became of Contract Posiibility. By the Associated Press. N. R. A. disclosed today that 20 per cent of its field stall of approximately 1,200 had been given dismissal notices. Another 20 per cent will receive these notices at once, officials said. Reduction of the field stall has been comparatively slow, it was asserted, because of the possibility that N. R. A. may have charge of Government con tract work. Were it not for this, the officials added, virtually the entire field staff might be dismissed at once. In some quarters it has been pro posed that the Government require bidders for its work to guarantee that they have maintained and will main tain certain labor standards. A bill to provide for execution of this plan is before Congress. It would necessi tate a substantial supervisory person nel, officials said. Auto Defects Blamed.

Aided by a public works allotment of $5,113,126, Treasury officials say they hope to recover more than that amount in unpaid income, liquor and nuisance taxes. The allotment has been recommend ed by the works program board and only approval of President Roosevelt Is necessary to start a Nation-wide tax-recovery drive. Officials said approximately 4.000 persons would be given work check ing income tax reports, visiting liquor stores in 32 wet States, and verifying "nuisance” tax returns. Each worker would receive an average of $1,300 a year, instead of the $1,143 originally fixed for all work projects. The Treasury Department says it has been handicapped by lack of funds in checking any but obvious errors or violations, especially in tax returns on incomes of less than $25, 000. Officials express confidence that discovered errors will net the depart ment far more than the money spent in the investigation.

July 9 Three Federal Court judges today had under advisement pe titans of 16 Min i nesota companies for a permanent injunction to halt payment of proc essing taxes levied under the agri cultural adjustment act. Counsel for the companies attacked constitutionality of the taxes, con tending payment of the benefits amounted to "class legislation." George Sullivan, United States dis trict attorney, presented a motion for dismissal of the 16 actions, con solidated as one for hearing purposes. Suit for collection of a tax cannot be brought against the Government. Sullivan argued, and granting of such injunctions would “impose severe hardships on the people of this I Nation." The judges.

Wash., July 9 —Twenty of the Government's 70 witnesses were called for use today in the trial of Mrs. Margaret Thulin Waley, 19, for the $200,000 kidnaping of little George Weyerhaeuser.

Waley, who, with his wife, will be the only defense witnesses, already is serving a 45-year sentence. He pleaded guilty. In pleading guilty, Waley attempted to exonerate his wife in a court room statement at their arraignment. It was this statement which caused Federal Judge E. E.

Reconvening at 1 o'clock this aft ernoon after a long session at the Capital last night, conferees on the national social security MU hope to reach a final agreement today on their differences, and prepare the conference report for submission to 'he House and Senate. Settlement of the national MU will clear the way for the Senate District Committee to proceed with the three local security measures—old-age pen sions. blind pensions and unemploy ment insurance. Interest in the conference report on the national MU center* chiefly in the Clark amendment by which the Senate voted to allow industries to operate their own retirement plans if they equal or exceed '.he benefits of the proposed Federal old-age annuity system. Before the conferees began the't deliberations last night Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri met with them, presumably to explain and t'efend his amendment, which the Senate placed in the bill by a de cisive vote. The Clark amendment has no connection with the local old age pension bills here and in the States, because those measures are intended to take care of needy per sons who are already at the retire ment age of 65. They are to receive gratuity payments in which the Gov eoplc to work with a dwindling $4,000,000, 000 appropriation, work-relief chief tains yesterday went on record in favor of spending $100,000,000 on reclamation projects, despite 'he high cost for materials.

Northeast Section of State Is Kit by Rushing Waters. By the Associated Press. HAVRE DE GRACE, Md„ July 9 Fains that reached cloudburst pro portions sent streams in Northeast Maryland flooding over their banks to day, washing cut a section of the Penn sylvania Railroad tracks, carrying away a highway bridge, disrupting traffic on highways and flooding more than 300 houses in Havre De Grace and Elkton. Lilly Run, in Havre De Grace, and Ewan Creek, nearby, bverflowed their banks. The Philadelphia road was covered with nearly 5 feet of rushing water, stranding a dozen motorists, Including two heavily laden trucks. The motorists were reported in no danger, as the water was receding. Elk River Rises. In Elkton the Elk River rose steadily under the Influence of the downpour. Houses In the city along the river bank had 3 feet of water in them. State police were on the Philadel phia road, diverting southbound traf fic through Bear Hills, away from the flooded section of that highway. Other j State troopers were sending north bound traffic through Perryville, over United States Route 1. The railroad bed was weakened at Swan Creek, it was reported, when 2 feet of water swept over the tracks and weakened them so that all traffic between Baltimore and Wilmington on the Pennsylvania was halted for three bours. ^The Baltimore Ohio Railroad at i Temple Road Crossing was under j water. A concrete watch house was j overturned there. Bridge Swept Away. Nathan Smith, chief engineer of the State Roads Commission, said a bridge was carried away on Route 462 between Aberdeen and Walkers Cor- I ner. Its supports were weakened by j the rushing water, he said, until the I structure collapsed. The rains .that caused the floods were reported to have been two cloud bursts that swept the section early today. In the Havre de Grace section ihe first of the torrential downpours occurred about 1 a m. Before this excess water could be carried away another cloudburst »wepc the section at 4 a m. Streams Were unable to carry it. Storm Hits Virginia. Several rains and electrical storms that swept over the Old Dominion Bunday night and yesterday damaged an electrical plant at Narrows to the extent of ever $100,000 and flooded basements and cellars of business houses and private residences at Har risonburg. Mrs. Nora Kellman Dollar, 20-year old mother, of Tazewell County, was struck and killed by lightning as she nursed her child. The infant, knocked unconscious by the bolt, will recover. Today the 80,000-kilowatt station of the Glen Lyon plant of the Appa lachian Electric Co. at Narrows was out of commission as a result of a cloudburst early Sunday night that caused damage estimated at between $100,000 and $150,000. Workmen were busy clearing away the debris. State Highway No. 8 was opened to one-way traffic only today in cer tain places as a result of the cloud burst and the westbound roadbed of the Norfolk Western was made un safe. At Harrisonburg the heaviest rain fall in the memory of the oldest in habitants sent water into basements of houses bordering on Blacks Run. j Page County had more cause to re- joice because of heavy July rains, which were fairly common over a large part of Virginia.

MARTIAL LAW ENDS IN BATON ROUGE Last of Louisiana National Guardsmen Depart From Capital. By th* Associated Press. BATON ROUGE. La.. July 9 Martial law was ended today in Louisiana's State capital. The military rule which has existed In East Baton Rouge Parish since January 25 was terminated when the last handful of Guardsmen on duty relinquished supervision of the parish court house and evacuated the cap ital. Their departure followed revocation yesterday by Gov. O. K. Allen of hts martial law proclamation issued six months ago when Senator Huey P. Long charged that political foes and the Standard OH Co. had plotted to kill him. Revocation of the edict did not be come known until the soldiers' de parture today. Nearly a thousand soldiers were con centrated in Baton Rouge to guard a dramatic "murder plot” hearing Long conducted within a ring of bayonets and machine guns. After conclusion of the hearings large numbers were sent home and the number on duty gradually dimin ished until less than a dozen finally remained to lounge about the main corridor of the court house. Utilities (Continued From First Page.) Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, criticizing O’Connor on the ground that he had voted against the admin istration in the utilities bill fight, had said the inquiry “will probably be an idle gesture." O'Connor flung back that Rankin had voted for the earlier resolution. Last night the New Yorker vowed that he would spare no one in inves- j tigating any attempt to "Intimidate or Influence votes.” When Representative Blanton. Dem- j ocrat, of Texas, asked what would be done if the charges against Corcoran i were found to be true, O'Connor said: j "Then he would be confronted with the statute making it a crime.” The Senate meanwhile neared a de cision on whether to agree with the House action—opposed by President Roosevelt—in voting to give the Se curities Commission discretionary au thority over the future of holding companies. The House bill would let the com mission decide whether some holding j companies should be abolished. The Senate bill—backed by President Roosevelt—would automatically elim inate In seven years those deemed •unnecessary.” Also the Senate approached a vote on whether to Institute an Investiga tion of its own into lobbying in gen eral, Including that of the utilities bill. As the House Inquiry began, Brew ster related that on July 1, after his arrival to Washington by plane in time for action on the utilities bill, his secretary told him Corcoran had called his office and used very strong language, demanding that he vote for the utilities bill. Works Threat Recounted. "I had her put down the conversa tion and called Corcoran, who said he wanted to talk to me about the utili ties matter, and I told him I would toe very glad to talk to him.” Brewster said. He went on that in that con- ersation by telephone Corcoran said he felt very strongly Brewster should vote for the holding company bill. Brewster quoted him as saying in the f.rst conversation. “If you do not vote for the death sentence I shall find it necessary to stop construction of the Passamaquoddy Dam.” Ferdinand Pecora, investigator for the Senate before going on the Securi ties and Exchange Commission and later on the bench in New York, was present as a spectator. Brewster said while he was talking with Corcoran Dr. Oruening called on the other telephone and asked for an appointment and that Corcoran said he would like to be present. “Won’t you come into my room?” Brewster quoted Corcoran, who, he said, could hear the conversation on the other phone. “Where?” Brewster said he asked. Meet in Statuary Hall. “I have a little office in the office of the Democratic whip, Mr. Boland,” Brewster said Corcoran told him, sug gesting that he and Gruenlng go there. Brewster said it was so arranged and that he went over to the Capitol, then near 2 p.m., shortly before the teller vote on mandatory abolition of holding companies. “As I entered statuary hall.” he re lated, “Corcoran and Dr. Oruening were coming from the other direction. “There were quite a few people around. A page. I remember, came up and said there would be a vote pretty soon. Mr. Page (William Tyler Page, minority clerk of the House) passed by. I mention these things to show the background. “Gruening, I believe, spoke first. He said he believed I would make a great mistake if I did not vote for the death sentence. Threat Repeated, He Say*. “Corcoran interrupted him: ‘Let me speak with brutal bluntness. 11 you do not vote for the death sentence I shall find it necessary to stop con struction on the Passamaquoddy Dam.’ Brewster enunciated slowly for the attentive committee. Then, the former Maine Governor went on, Gruening broke in saying: "I think you should do it on your own.” "But Corcoran interrupted Dr. Gruening again,” Brewster declared. “He said if I did not vote for the measure he would find It necessary to ‘stop Quoddy’.” Brewster said Corcoran then went Into legal details of the Passama quoddy situation, involving the ne cessity of the State authority. Brewster said matters of policy had been discussed with Corcoran from time to time. "Action of the State Legislature was involved,” interrupted Representa tive Mapes, Republican, of Michigan. Authority Not Pushed. ‘‘Yes. P. W. A. ha.: prepared an act,” Brewster said. “Changes were made after it left P. W. A. tliat re stricted the sole authority that was to be created. Corcoran was handling detail at the President's direction He had determined that it was not ex pedient to push the authority. "Corcoran said that if I were going to vote against tht death sentence, hi* opinion regarding the procedure In Maine would be to ask for the State authority, end that he would go to the Legislature snd ask for It." Then, with an arm over the back of hi* chair, the foimer Governor described how Co'cuan left toward the Senate and how he and Gruening walked toward the House. Gruening, he said, seemed much disturbed” and told him he thought he, Brewster, would be mak.ng a "serious mistake” If he did not vote for the President. Goes on House Floo Gruenin; told him he would be "a man without a country” and aban doning all his old friends, Brewster asserted. The Representative said he considered that a "perfectly legitimate argument.” Then Brewster said he went to the House floor and told Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, Republican, of Massachusetts, what had taken nlace. :ie added he had discussed the bill with Corcoran three or four times previously, first about three or four weeks before. “What did he say then?" O'Connor asked. "He said the President felt the death sentence was absolutely funda mental and the most profound Issue before the country,” was the reply. "He knew my background and I told him I would be glad to discuss It with him." House Loaders Liston. Among those who listened from the sidelines were Representatives Rayburn, Democrat, of Texas, chair man of the House Interstate Com merce Committee and co-author of the original Wheeler-Rayburn utili ties control bill, and Rankin, who led the unsuccessful cloak room campaign for mandatory abolition of "unneces sary” holding companies and who had predicted the House Investigation would be an 'Idle gesture." Turning to the meeting in Corcoran office. Brewster said among those present were Benjamin V. Cohen, P W. A. expert, and Charles West. Presi dent Roosevelt s contact man on Cap itol Hill. Afterward, he said, he called Gruen ing and arranged to have breakfast with him the following day. At that time, he said, he told Omen ing he “felt the situation was getting embarrassing and that my relations to the death sentence were being ex aggerated. but that If he and Corcoran felt my vote was so Important I would be glad for them to explain to me fully the President’s position. "A week before the vote I was called to Bangor for a legal case,” Brewster continued. "Quoddy, In the meantime, we thought was practically ready to go." Refused to Be Counsel. He said Corcoran originally had asked him to act as Quoddy counsel, but he refused because he had too many other activities and could not accept pay in addition to that aa a member of Congress. Instead he recommended two Maine attorneys. While at Bangor, Brewster said. Corcoran went to his Washington office and called him up to ask that he send to all Congressmen a letter and a speech by Senator Borah. Re publican. of Idaho on "the constitu tionality of this matter.” j Corcoran told him. he said, that he was anxious to have the material go out under his signature. Ten minutes later Corcoran called him back and retd the proposed let ter to him. he said. When he refused to let It go out. Brewster said Cor coran "showed some feeling.” Telia of Tdeplitne Call. While waiting for several days in Bangor for Quoddy to go through. Brewster continued, he received a tele phone call from hi* secretary in Wash ington and was informed Corcoran had told the secretary nothing would be done on Quoddy until after the utilities vote. Flying back to the Capital immedi ately. Brewster said lie saw Corcoran in the Speaker's lobby the next morn ing when the He use was in session. Chairman O'Connor of the com mittee remarked that only members and the press were allowed in the lobby while the House was meeting. Brewster said Corcoran asked him to speak to Senator White, Repub lics, of Maine. He said he saw White and told him Corcoran, who had done much for P&ssamaquoddy, would appreciate it if White would re frain from voting on the provision for abolishing "unnecessary” nolding companies, as it was understood he was against it. Brewstei insisted he merely transmitted Corcoran’s request and did not himself urge- White not to vote. Say* No Threat Involved, Brewster said the "only claim Cor coran had on us was that he was doing good work on Quoddy and that there was no persuasion or threat in volved in the White Incident.” Up until the "brutal blunt" conver sation, Brewster said there was noth ing in Corcoran's attitude that he would criticize. Corcoran, taking the stand, de scribed Brewster's threat statements 1 as "baseless." He added that at the Capitol meet ing between himself. Brewster and Gruening, Brewster told them that after a visit to Maine "my political situation is so delicate I don’t believe I can vote for it,” (the provision for abolishing "unnecessary" holding companies). Corcoran explained that instead of threatening to hold up Passama quoddy as Brewster charged he merely pointed out to him that this was the first intimation he had that Brewster had changed his position, and under such circumstances naturally could not trust Brewster to carry through on assurances he claimed had been given of holding oil Republican suits in Maine against the project and lin ing up Republican members of the Legislature on legislation for it. Corcoran said he waa glad to know that the conversations in Statuary Hall with Gruening present were the the basis of the charges. He added Brewster had issued press statements in New York and Boston saying no witnesses had been present. TeUs of New York Meeting. He told how he had met Brewster long before he came to Congress in Gruening’* New York apartment while the latter was editor of the Nation. He said he was given assurance that if Brewster ever came to Con gress he was the “one man who could be relied upon to light the so-called power trust.” He asserted that time and time again he had heard from Gruening in Wash ington that Brewster was the chief champion of the President's power program. “Mr. Brewster was the great anti power trust champion,” he asserted. He told how he had participated in White House conferences attended py Rayburn and Wheeler and that the latter had asked him to assist in getting the utilities bill through Con gress. About the time the bill went to hearing before the 8enate committee, he said, Wheeler told him that Brew ster had said he could “handle” 8ena tor White and to Just let the Congress man know If hi* help was needed, a Brewster Reasserts Charges Above: Representative Brewster as he took the stand at the congres sional inquiry into lobby activities to reassert his charges that Thomas Corcoran threatened to delay the Passamaquoddy project unless Brewster voted for the abolition of "unnecessary" holding companies.

Brewster-Corcoran Row Ends Anti-“Power Trust99 Teamwork Lobby Hearing Presents Drama Which May Be Called “When Reformers Fall Out"—Versions Differ. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. An amazing picture of what goes on behind the scenes in legis lative battles on Capitol Hill was painted today as the House Rules Committee began its inquiry into the charges of administration and power trust lobbying on the "death sentence" clause in the holding company bill. The story told today by two princi-,. pal witnesses. Representative Ralph' O. Brewster of Maine and Thomas C. Corcoran, braintruster and an attor ney for the R. F. C might have been entitled "When Reformers Fall Out." Brewster and Corcoran in the past have been determined foes of the power trust. Brewster fought the power interests in Maine, where he was Governor and where he sought repeatedly and unsuccessfully to be elected Senator. That was in the days when Samuel Insull was all powerful In the utilities business. Corcoran Assigned to Help. Corcoran was assigned to help work out the plans for the Passamaquoddy Dam for the production of electric1 power through operation of the tides and also to help In the fight to put through the administration's public utility holding company bill. Brewster and Corcoran went along together. It was developed during the 1 bearing, on the drive for the Passama quoddy Dam, a project which is to cosi\ 838,000,000 and is located in Brewster's district in Maine. The split came over Brewster's fail ure to speak for or vote for the death sentence clause in the holding com pany bill. Brewster, whose charges against Corcoran, made on the floor of the House, are responsible for the investi gation. was the first to take the stand today. He sought to make it clear he had been finally led to vote against the President and the death sentence clause in the holding company bill be cause: First, his Anglo-Saxon instinct for fair play demanded that innocent stockholders in bolding companies be not thrown to the lions. Second, because Corcoran had threatened, with "brutal frankness,” Just before the vote in the House was taken, to do something about holding up the Passam&quoddy Dam, unless Brewster'voted for the death sentence. Replying to a question from a mem ber of the committee regarding what he (Brewster) had said when Cor coran had made this threat, the Maine Representative said: "I don’t know whether I am a pacifist, but at such times 1 shut up. Action speaks louder than words. I felt Just as I felt when Samuel Insull tried to put pressure on me in Maine. I walked down the aisle in Statuary Hall into the House and to the teller, casting my vote against the death sentence.” Corcoran, brilliant, dramatic, a Wheeler, he added, asked him to keep In touch with Brewster on that point. Brewster, Corcoran said, told him that *‘on this holding company bill I’ve got White under obligation” and that White can’t be re-elected with out a trade of votes in the next elec tion. He quoted Brewster as saying. “If you have any trouble, just let me know.” The committee adjourned until to morrow morning after Corcoran con cluded his reply to Brewster with a statement that the Maine Republican had made his charges in a press re lease carefully prepared before he went on the floor of the House. Corcoran told the committee he would be glad to undergo any cross examination or to have it allow Brew ster and himself to cross-examine each a forceful speaker, painted Brewster as a double-crosser. governed only by a desire to protect his political fences. The story he told of Brewster's con versation at the time the "threat" was supposed to have been made brought from Brewrster an impulsive: "You're a liar." It was on this note that the hearing ended today, with the understanding that the committee would resume again a 10 a m. tomorrow. Acted Under Instructions. Corcoran told his story of his deal ngs with Brewster swiftly and with dramatic force. When Corcoran admitted to the committee he had been working at the Capitol in the Interest of the[ death sentence and the whole public utility holding company bill, he said anything he had done had been under the instruction of Chairman Wheeler of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee and of Chairman Rayburn of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Brewster, in his testimony, said he had been asked by Corcoran to urge j Senator White of Maine not to vote on the "death sentence" clause when 1 the holding company bill was before the Senate. Brewster said that he gave this message to Senator White, who like himself is a Republican. The idea was that Corcoran had been ex ceedingly helpful in getting the Passa maquoddv project through for the State of Maine. Versions Differ. It was a very different aspect which Corcoran gave this White incident in his testimony. He insisted that Sena tor Wheeler had told him that Brew ster had said to him (Wheeler) that he could “handle" White in the Senate committee. So, according to Corcoran. Senator Wheeler told him to keep in touch with Brewster and see what could be done with Senator White. When the time came, Corcoran said, he sug gested that Brewster take the matter up with White. Corcoran said Brewster had said “I’ve got White under obligations to me. He will need votes in my dibtrlct when he comes up lor election again." "Naturally, I went to Brewster,” continued Corcoran. The story told by Brewster and Corcoran regarding the.r common ef fort to push along the Passamaquoddy project differed in some respects. Brewster said he had brought two attorneys down from Maine at the request of Corcoran to talk over cer tain legal aspects of the project. Cor coran, on the other hand, left the impression that it was Brewster who had insisted upon having this Maine legal talent and that Brewster had paid their expenses. Raises Suit Aspects. Time and again Corcoran told the committee Brewster had given him promises that he, Brewster, would guarantee to handle the Maine Repub lican Legislature and also prevent any antagonistic suits being filed against the Passamaquoddy project. It was on the basis of these guar antees, Corcoran said, that final de cision to go ahead with the Quoddy project had been made. Had it not been for these guarantees an effort would have been made to have the Maine Legislature provide for a "Maine Authority” to take power from ft ICKES MAY ACT INJtSTRIKE Interior Building Walkout May Involve 350 Men, Angry at Contractor. Facing a general strike of about 350 building trades workers employed on Improvements in the Interior Depart ment Building, national parks officials In charge of Federal building opera tions were planning today to call on Secretary Ickes to intercede. The walkout, due to the awarding of a contract to a Baltimore concern said by local labor to be employing non-union men, started among elec tricians at 7:30 pm. yesterday and became general among all workmen on the job this morning. The Industrial Power Equipment Co. is the Balti more concern which was awarded the low-bid contract to change the electric current in the building from direct to alternating. Employes of two other contractors, the Harwood-Nepel Co. of Washington and the York Ice Machinery Co. of Philadelphia, who are Installing new elevators and air conditioning the building. Joined In a sympathetic strike until labor troubles are adjusted. Officials of the National Parks Office claimed they knew nothing of the strike until the men failed to show up for work this morning. They Intend to confer today with officers of the Washington Building Trades Council in an endeavor to settle differences and resume work on the building. If their efforts do not prevail. Secretary Ickes. it was understood, will be called into the picture. A letter w as being prepared for his signature asking the Baltimore concern to adjust differ ences. John L. Nagel, assistant chief of staff engineers for the National Parks Office, explained he had received no notice from the local union stating the cause of the strike, but was aware, he said, that the union men employed refused to work beside non-union men put on tne job yesterday. Officers of the Building Trades Council last week protested the sward ing of the contract, claiming that the second and third low bidders were Washington concerns employing union labor. Assistant Secretary of Interior Oscar L. Chapman, who had charge of approval of contracts, refused, I however, to meet their demands. Virgin Islands ^Continued From First Page not averse to buying a man off if tt can be done discreetly." In a long recital of Instances de signed to support his charges of graft, fraud, inefficiency and failure in the island administration. Yates testified the Governor had sought to have pre pared a list of charges Involving Mor ris Davis, whom he identified as an anti-Pearson “agitator." and put them out as a newspaper story under Yates' name. The witness said he refused to do it. He accused Pearson of trvlng to in fluence a correspondent of the New i York Times against sending articles detrimental to Pearson's regime, add ing that Pearson succeeded In having a member of the Colonial Council appointed In the correspondent's stead, although the man was later replaced by the Times. Yates said Pearson threatened an editor of the principal anti-admini stration newspaper, the Emancipator, with prosecution for libel. He de dined to say under questioning wheth ?r he thought any Emancipator articles were libelous. Yates also alleged that part of the Federal relief food sent to the islands found its way to the British Island of Tortola in the Virgin group. "The food distribution was one of the worst features in the islands, he said. Hundreds complained to me per sonally they were unable to secure food. They complained it was being diverted to Tortola." He added that many residents of the British island were employed on Federal public works on the United States islands. Espionage System Charged. Senate Investigators have been told that Gov. Pearson employed an es pionage system against his political enemies. The accusation was made by Yates, in support of charges of corruption, neglect and failure in the Island ad ministration. In his testimony against Pearson. Yates said yesterday: “He told me he had ways of getting letters from his enemies. He said Catholic fathers were among the v.orst of his enemies on the islands. He led me to believe he had an es pionage system which would uncover nil base things against him." the dam after it had been completed by the Federal Government. The point made by Corcoran was that the Government might have found It had put $36,000,000 into this project and on its completion was unable to dis pose of the power. When Corcoran found, he said, that Biewster was not going to speak for the death sentence clause or vote for it. he felt that he could not trust Brewster to carry out his pledges re garding the Passamaquoddy project. The story told by Corcoran was to the effect that Brewster had been very friendly to the death sentence clause when the supporters of that clause had invited him to a meeting to dis cuss a plan of battle. He insisted that in the end, however, Brewster had declined to sign a letter supporting tlie holding company bill because it mentioned Senator Hastings. Spoke “With Emphasis.” "You can't expect me to say any thing about Hastings,” Corcoran quoted Brewster as saying, “for Hast ings controls the money for the Re publican campaign.” Corcoran said he had fully expected Brewster would speak in the House upholding the death sentence clause and when he became convinced that Brewater would not do so, he admitted he spoke with considerable emphasis. Hint Supporting Witnesses. Both Brewster and Corcoran left the impression with the commtitee that witnesses could be called in support of their statements. Corcoran’s final shot at Brewster was that he had told Brewster: “You know I ckn't trust you to keep your pledges in regard to the Passa maquoddy dam now'.” Corcoran said Brewster had replied: “I know it" and had added, "would it be all right if I duck back and do not vote?” “I said that I didn’t cart what he did," said Corcoran. It wal at this point that Brewster exploded, shouting: “You’re a liar!” A LIBERAL POUCY IN CODESPLEDGED Trade Commission Rules Will 3e Uniform, Davis Says. Br the Associated Press. A policy of liberality In writing voluntary codes for business was enunciated today by Chairman Ewln L Davis of the Federal Trade Com* mission It is with this attitude, the chairman said, that the com mission Is study ing recent in quiries from about DO Indus tries as to the c o m m i s sion’s agreements, which are simi lar to N. R. A. codes but lack labor provisions E.rn L. D.rls. .,We want t0 be as liberal as possible within the law,” Davis declared In an Interview giving the first official Indication of the commission's plans for codifica tion since it was designated by the President last week as the Govern ment's arbiter for Industry, succeed ing N. R. A. Uniform Ruling*. “The commission's rules will be ab solutely uniform," Davis said. “They shall be stated broadly enough so as to apply to all industries alike. We are giving closest consideration to many suggestions, such as open pric ing, sales below costs, uniform dis counts. loss leaders, and other mat ters which the commission has not permitted In Its codes before.” As to questions whether the com mission's policy was more liberal than in former years. Davis said the "only policy we have had was to administer the laws entrusted to us fairly." He agreed, however, that changes In the commission membership might alter methods of administration. C. of C. Urges Co-operation. In pest years some critics con tended the commission'* agreement* gave business virtually no freedom to co-operate. Recently, however, the United States Chamber of Commerce urged business to make use of the agency's codes. Davis emphasized the necessity of legality. "It would do neither busi ness nor the public nor the commis sion a bit of good to permit illegal agreements." "The law of trade practices Is de veloping slowly," he added. "Through court teats we slowly are adding to i the rules which are legally enforce able. We are careful not to permit statements in agreement* that we do not believe are lawful and our record in the courts shows the accuracy of our judgment."

Taxes ^Continued Prom Plrst Page i it be primarily for the purpose of bringing our national budget nearer to a balance, let it avoid any Impli cation of class legislation, and let it be paralleled by an application of the brakes on reckless spending of Gov i ernment money.” The President's new tax program encountered a protest, meanwhile, from the leadership of the American railroad Industry. i Inconsistency Charged. Robert V. Fletcher, general counsel for the Association of Railway Execu tives. contended the graduated taxes the President wants to apply to cor porate income would penalize bigness in the railroad field after Congress had encouraged mergers. Fletcher prepared a formal argu ment for submission to the House Ways and Means Committee, which yesterday heard estimates that 29 al ternative schedules based on a four fold tax plan advocated by the Presi 1 dent would raise anywhere from $118, I 000.000 to $901,000,000 a year. Secretary Morgenthau. who had re I ceived from committeemen a list of the different schedules with a request to say how much revenue each would raise, outlined the estimates. He suggested taxes would apply to Inheritances, gifts, high incomes of individuals and corporation incomes. End Sought This Week. The committee is trying to finish hearings this week so it can go to work Monday to decide which of the 29 schedules, if any. it should approve. Fletcher, the railroad spokesman, argued against applying to the rail lines the suggested new graduated taxes, which would range from 10 to 17’-j per cent, depending on size of I income. The present rate is a flat 13 per cent. “It seems to me.” Fletcher said, “that Congress already has shown clearly in many legislative acts that it thinks rail carriers should be big concerns, financially. It has approved mergers and done other things to con centrate railroad capital and income. “And now it apparently Is proposed that Congress penalize railroads for doing the very thing It encouraged the railroads to do." Morgenthau had estimated that the lO-to-174 schedule would raise $66, 900.000 to $102,200,000. Under $100,900 Incomes Spared. A subcommittee which presented the 29 schedules to Morgen thau appar ently felt no attempt should be made to increase taxes on individual in comes under $100,000, for no sched ules went below that. At present, income between $100,000 $150,000 is subject to a maximum tax of 56 per cent. One of the new sched ules would increase that to 58 and another to 59 per cent. The larger changes, however, would be on income above $1,000,000, which now is assessed a flat 59 per cent. One proposed schedule would make income between $1,000,000 and $2, 000,000 subject to a 67 per cent levy, another 74 per cent and a third 76 per cent.. In one case, the portion of an in come in excess of $10,000,000 oould be taxed 94 per cent and income from $7,500,000 to $10,000,000 could be taxed 92 per cent. Gift Taxes Flexible. Inheritance and gift taxes also offered some interesting alternatives. There is now no inheritance tax and the gift levies range from 0.75 to 33 Vb per cent. One pending sched ule would set both the gift and in heritance taxes at from 7 to 84.36 per cent, depending on the amount involved. In one case the inheritance rate would depend on the income the re- cipient of a legacy already had.

LI 10 Scores Talk of Selecting Presidential Candidate From High Tribunal. By the Associated Press. Senator Borah believes the Repub lican party would make a “serious blunder" if it sought to pick a presi dential candidate from the Supreme Court. The Idaho Republican expanded to day the views he expressed in a letter to the New York Herald Tribune, in which he said it was "low political strategy” to talk of grooming a mem ber of the high tribunal for the nomi nation because of recent opinions against New Deal measures. “I feel very deeply that at this par ticular juncture it would be a serious blunder to talk about the court in a political way,” Borah said. He said his letter was prompted by articles menticning Justices Harlan F. Stone of New York and Owen J. Rob erts of Philadelphia as possible candi dates to oppose President Roosevelt. Recent Opinions Cited. Without naming ihem in his letter. Borah said two justices had "undoubt edly been mentioned because of recent opinions, which opinions happen to coincide with what the fertile brains of the political strategists think will tnake for party advantage." Delving back into history, Borah 1 cited the case of Chief Justice John Marshall, and said there was "no j seam" in his granite character "save when his foolish friends were urging him for the presidency.” "During this period, it is claimed, one of his opinions bears the taint of partisan bias." Borah added. The Idahoan compared present-day talk of limiting the court's power to similar attempts during the Civil War reconstruction period, when, he said, the Constitution never was more "brutally trampled upon" by Congress. The text of the letter to the New York Herald-Tribune follows: "Those who have any proper con ception of the true function of the Supreme Court in our framework of government, or those who have regard for the high place it must at all times hold in the hearts and minds of the American people—if it is to perform with effect that function—will deeply regret the talk about going to the membership of that tribunal for a presidential candidate. "And those who have any apprecia hon whatever of the delicate, but in evitable and stupendous task which awaits the court in dealing with the problems which must of necessity come before it in one of the most onerous find difficult periods of its existence, will look with contempt upon the low political strategy which would seek to rebuild party fortunes by any such •inister maneuvers. Names of Two Mentioned. "The names of two members of the j Supreme Court have been particu larly mentioned. They have un doubtedly been mentioned because of recent opinions, which opinions hap pen to coincide with what the fertile brains of the political strategists think will make for party advantage. "We can pass over the chagrin and humiliation which must come to a judge when singled out for political I advancement because of the solemn discharge of his duty as a justice of the Supreme Court. "But there is something ifiore in volved than this. It is not only for a suggestion of political recompense for deciding the question in a particular way, but it is a subtle suggestion to all members of the court that in ren dering opinions on constitutional law, they should keep in mind not only the law7, but also the reward which awaits those who—while interpreting the Constitution—also interpret popu- I lar sentiment. Must Be Free From Bias. "It is not only indispensable to the worth and dignity of the court that it is. in fact, free from party bias, but second only in importance is that the people should believe it to be free from party bias. "After thp Civil War Congress—still j saturated with war passion and still moved with sectional distrust—under- 1 took to establish what amounted to a permanent military government over the Southern States. "Never was a Constitution more brutally trampled under foot than during this so-called reconstruction period. Some of these laws finally reached the Supreme Court. "It was the cnly tribunal left for those whose liberties had been denied them. When the court passed upon some of these measures and held them unconstitutional, the court w7as bitterly assailed. "Finally, the Congress withdrew jurisdiction in some respects ana. having no power to secure relief, men remained In prison with no more remedy for relief than had the prisoner 1 of Chillon. Reform Proposals Followed. "Then came proposals for reform The court was to be made amenable to political control. It was proposed that the membership of the court be changed; that the court be denied power to pass upon the constitu tionality of the acts of Congress: that no statute could be held unconstitu tional by less than two-thirds of the justices, and finally, that particular statutes were to be exempt from con sideration by the court. “Some of these proposals met the approval of one or the other branches of Congress. The opinions of the Supreme Court written in those days are now regarded as the bulwarks of American liberty. “The sorry record of Congress—and a large part of the press—in attacks upon the court constitutes a rather ead record in the political history of the United States. “The point is that in every great crisis of our history realization comes to us of how plain is our duty to keep the courts as free from party politics as it is humanly possible. ■'There are many different ways to draw the court into politics. One is to regard it as a source for political candidates. “No one can be indifferent to the supreme task of the court in periods of great stress. To seek party ad vantages by reason of opinions ren dered in such instances is nothing less than an attack upon the court itself. “The political party which would make an issue of constitutional gov ernment and at the same time seek the court for political leadership ■would reveal either gross indifference to what constitutes constitutional gov ernment, or a willingness to sacrifice Its most vital principle for party advantage," Prison Aid Unity Sought.

After calls on Vice President Gar ner and Speaker Byms he had an en gagement at the British Embassy for luncheon before leaving Washington late this afternoon. Talks With President. Ample opportunity for conversation with President Roosevelt was afforded Mr. Lyons*by a small and exclusive state dinner last night and a White House tea to which no guests were invited.

In addition to the British Ambas sador and the Australian party, those at the dinner included Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull, the Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Wallace, Secretary of Com- I merce and Mrs. Roper, the chairmen of the House and Senate Foreign Re lations Committees, with their wives; j protocol heads of the State Depart- ment and members of tne President’s Immediate household.

MICHIGAN FARM HEAD HITS A. A. A. Tells Republican Crusaders It Is to Blame for Farm ers’ Troubles. By the Associated Pres*. CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 9— F. H. Thomson, Michigan commissioner of agriculture, addressing the Republican Crusaders’ Conference, said today that the administration’s Agriculture Ad justment Administration was the cause of most of the major troubles of the American farmer. The New Deal's A. A. A. program was blamed for: Rapidly vanishing foreign markets for the United States agricultural sur plus. Increased unemployment and Im poverished tenant farmer*. A skyrocketing of prices which has brought about an involuntary buyers’ strike. Michigan Has Changed. "■Michigan was one of the first States to accept whole-heartedly the hair-brained ideas of the New Deal.” said Commissioner Thomson, "but aft- i er two years the people of Michigan overwhelmingly voted against these crack-pot ideas. Today. Michigan is leading the way on the -road to re covery." "The old order of things.” Thom son continued, "has come in for much criticism from the present adminis- tration. yet it must have had some virtues." The Michigan commissioner listed 1 a variety of developments he attribut ed to the "old order.” These included “development of a strong Nation of strong men. millions of productive farms, colleges and universities, ce ment highways to every comer of the Nation and high wages and living standards." “Regimented humanity is the price of your New Deal freedom,” the dele gates were told. Joins New Deal Attack. James G. Stewart of Cincinnati joined in the general attack of the New Deal by asking the conference: “Who ever voted for a Richberg or a Tugwell or a Hopkins?” "They just came along." said Stew art. "The dove of supermanship sim ply alighted on their brow. These fel lows never had the nerve to submit their candidacy to the people." Stewart said the Nation should make an honest effort to get the pow ers of the world togther to stabilize their currency. Mrs. Della B Hershey of Pittsburgh, who objected last night to a move to nominate Senator William E Borah of Idaho as a Republican presidential candidate in 1936. took the floor again today to urge the conference dele gates "not to lose sight of our orig inal purpose to draft a plan to rebuild the Republican party.” "I've heard a lot about the Demo crats," Mrs. Hershey observed, "now what about the Republicans? What are they going to do?" Borah’s Name Cheered. The name of Senator Borah was Informally brought before the confer ence last night by former City Mana ger Daniel E. Morgan, who suggested the Senator as a presidential candi date. Borah's name drew applause and Cheers. Morgan said “the most important question before this conference is not the platform. I have a man who would stand rock-ribbed on the Constitu tion. "He would not be controlled by any One. "I would like to nominate for Presi dent William E Borah.” Charles W. Carroll of Philadelphia, keynoter of the conference, attacked the present Republican party leader ship as dictatorial.

Hits A. A. A. Curtailment Which Permits Benefit Crops to Come In. By the Associated Press. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho Is thinking of submitting an amend ment to the agricultural adjustment act bill to prohibit the importation of all products similar to those which American farmers have agreed to cur tail in return for Federal benefit pay ments. Borah said today there is no sound ness in a policy that cuts American production to the point where foreign competitive goods can be sold in this country in large quantities. "There is a large amount of agri cultural products coming into the United States now,” he said. Would Permit Suits. Borah offered an amendment to j the A. A. A. bill yesterday to strike j out the provision denying citizens the I right to sue for recovery of processing taxes. Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia also introduced amendments designed to shave the new powers over production and marketing which the measure would grant to the A. A. A. The A. A. A. bill is expected to be debated in the Senate tomorrow or Thursday. Open Hearings Demanded. Demands that open hearings be held on the measure have been made by S. Clay Williams, former N. R. A. chief, in a memorandum to the Sen ate Agricultural Committee. Williams, a tobacco manufacturer, accused A. A A. officials of “subtlety and secretiveness and craftiness'' and said they persistently have opposed open hearings. After saying he thor oughly approved the original act on which the A. A. A s production con trol program is based, he declared the proposed amendments depart “far from that basis." Williams said the administration’s proposed revision would abandon the original basis for computing the processing tax on farm products as the amount intended to bring the farmer's return to a pre-war parity and instead enable A. A. A. to con tinue imposing such a tax after the parity point was reached. $17,000,000 INSULL SUITS DISMISSED Federal Judge Orders Plaintiffs to Pay in Fight Over Firm Loan. Er the Associated Press SEW YORK. July 9 —Federal Judge Julian \V. Mack, in an opinion filed yesterday, dismissed the 12 suits and cross-suits growing out of the $17,000,-! 000 loan to the Insull Utility Invest ments. Ir.c :n 1931 by five New York banks and the General Electric Co. The plaintiffs were ordered to pay the costs. The original suits were filed by a .group of holders of debentures of the Insull Investment Co.—one of the links in Samuel Insull's vast empire of power. The holders claimed the loans made by the banks and General Electric violated a covenant in the debenture. Judge Mack, in part, ruled: "If the making of the loans gave the debenture holders no legal or equitable 1 right against the banks, the subsequent insolvency of the Insull investment utilities did not create that right.” The defendant banks were the Cen tral Hanover.

ROBERTS WILL FIX GAS Mt;FIGURE Then Is to Move to Abandon Costly Valuation Pro ceedings. On a ‘'take it or leave It.” basis. People's Counsel William A, Roberts plans to propose a figure for the amount of gas rate reduction and move to abandon the protracted and costly valuation and rate proceedings which have been before the Public j Utilities Commission since June 30. j 1932 Roberts refused today to suggest as yet what amount of money he believes should be applied in rate reductions, and Insisted he would in no wise enter into a "compromise" with the com panies over the issue, Riley E. Eigen, commission chair man. said the proposal had not yet come to him. and that he would have no views to express until he learned what rate reduction was proposed. Thinks Data on Hand Enough. Roberts first threw out the idea of i a quick settlement in a radio talk river Station WOL and explained fur ther today that he believes the com- j panics, the commission or himself could arrive at a just and proper rate j reduction from data already at hand A court fight over the valuation for the future rate order could be avoided, i he thought, if everybody would cease J jockeying for the best possible position In a legal contest. I do not propose to enter into any compiomise." Roberts declared. "I propose to submit a rate reduction and if the amount of the reduction in total money is changed I shall fight it. I do not intend to be a party to any secret negotiation, regardless of the good that might be served there by I am convinced it will yield suf ficient proceeds 10 insure successful operation of the gas companies and I know its acceptance will avoid heavy expense which must result if war to the end Is adopted as the maxim of both sides $600,000 Spent Already. The commission recently set the valuation for the companies at ap proximately $17,000,000. The com panies at the opening of the valu ation case, claimed a total value of 530.000.000. Roberts said the com panies had spent on the valuation and rate cases already nearly $600,000. end that the end is by no means in eight. Meanwhile gas consumers are pot getting the rate reduction to which they are entitled, he claimed. During the proceedings a temporary 81 per cent discount is being allowed. Estimates of the amount of rate re duction which might be ordered under the commission's valuation range as high as 24 per cent, but these wilt be affected by the work of bringing up to date the commission's valuation, w hich was as of June 30. 1932. Apparently. Roberts will delay his rate reduction proposal to await public reaction to the general idea of taking a short cut.

I r pum but DON’T use his dipper toduy! THE whole town drank from the same tin dipper, when grandad was a boy. Folks wondered, some* times, why disease raced from house to house. We know, today. But it hasn’t been very long since public drinking cups were banned. And some of our own drinking facilities come dangerously close to grandad’s dipper. Soda fountains, for example, are required by the laws of most states to sterilize their glasses between servings. But real sterilizing takes time, live steam or boiling water, and expensive equip ment. Sudden heat applied to cold glass brings frequent breakage. At a busy fountain it’s cheaper, easier and natural enough to substitute a rapid dunking in lukewarm water. Dirt may disappear, but microbes left by tbe lips of other customers cling to the edge of the glass like shipwrecked sailors to a raft. You can't see them, but they delight to lodge and live and grow in the moist warmth of your mouth.

They main* tain the highest standards of cleanliness, and dis* play this seal to guarantee you safe, individual service. Every drink you purchase is served to you in a fresh paper cup that no one else has used before. Notice, too, that at many fountains the soda drinks and desserts you buy to “carry out” to your office and home are put in Dixie carriers for safe, clean handling. These are modern fountain practices. Show that you appreciate such health* protection by telling your friends about Seal Dixie service and giving these dealers your patronage. Think before you drink.

The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein. All rights of publication of special dispatchea herein are also reserved Questions to Be Answered. Questions addressed to Secretary ol the Treasury Morgenthau on the occa sion of his appearance before the House Ways and Means Committee to present estimates as to the probable revenue to be derived from the proposed new tax schedules indicated clearly the drift of opinion in at least certain sections of the country. “Is your primary purpose to redis tribute wealth or raise additional reve nue?" he was asked. “All th& multi millionaires marked for slaughter would not pay the President’s bills for sixty days,” he was told. And the closest that the Secretary came to a direct response to these and similar questions and asser tions was that the proposed new income, inheritance and corporation taxes “can be made to yield substantial additions to the receipts of the Federal Government." Granting the full, if somewhat delphic, accuracy of this statement and noting with probable gratification that other testimony of the Secretary indicated that In his opinion such revenues as the new taxes may yield should be applied to the reduction of debts either already In curred or budgeted, rather than to new governmental spending, his questioners are still left a good deal in the dark. What a healthily growing cross-sec tion of the Nation would like to know may be simply stated: Is economic and Eocial exigency the controlling factor in the administration’s recent demands for legislation, or does political expediency shape its course? It is certain that the trend of much cf this proposed legislation is anti-big business, anti-vested-interests, anti-capi talism. The utility measure, the bank ing bill, the new revenue proposals can not fail to demonstrate a trend. It is, of course, perfectly possible that the administration is sincerely convinced that the future economic and social wel fare of the Nation as a whole requires a redistribution of wealth, a new finan cial set-up and greatly augmented Fed eral control of business in general. But What puzzles his questioners is why, if this need of near-socialism is the Presi dent’s genuine conviction, the measures proposed are not more potent toward Its accomplishment. And always the possibility of polit ical considerations recurs. The banks? Millions have grievances against them, and the champion of those with griev ances gets votes. The utilities? The West and the South, notoriously anti utility, need bolstering. Big business? The laborer’s vote is as useful as that of the employer—and there are more labor ers. Share the wealth? Even the most honest man may steal a little of that ephemeral commodity known as thunder. The President is inevitably due to hear this question raised, over and over again, In the year that lies ahead of him. Upon his ability to answer it to the satisfaction of millions of Americans who are more interested in getting out of the de pression than in the political fortunes of any man alive and who are imbued With a virile, if inarticulate, belief that the economic system that concentrated one-half of the wealth of the world in the United States doubtless has a good deal in it worth saving, will probably de pend his place in history. There is no possibility that Mussolini *111 become so busy in Africa as to leave home affairs temporarily in charge of the King of Italy. Not Much Help. Some improvement in the disordered taxicab situation may result from the Public Utilities Commission’s inquiry into rates and zones, to be followed by regulations relating to their uniformity. Certainly uniform rates and zones are the foundation of any system of sound regulation. But as developed by one of the large operators, at the opening ses sion of the hearing yesterday, if present minimum rates are made the standard, the city will still be overrun by too many cabs and the drivers will be forced to work long hours to make a living wage, Iwith resulting danger to the public; if rates are increased, patronage will fall off and a number of drivers will un doubtedly be forced out of w'ork. This suggests that the Public Utilities Commission must decide at the outset Its objective in rate and zone regulation. It should be something more than uni formity, as desirable as that may be. The commission should decide whether its regulations of zones and rates are to be in the interest of the general taxi riding public, or whether they are to be chiefly to assure employment for taxi drivers. The taxicab situation here has been muddled, first, by the almost total lack of regulation; second, by the fact that opposition to regulation has been based mainly on the effect upon the indi a vldual driver’s opportunity for employ ment. The result has been that a public utility, such as the taxicab business, has not been subjected to the regulation ex tending as a matter of course to other public utilities. No attempt has been made to restrict the number of cabs to the needs of the public. Nothing has teen done to force upon the cab oper ators the assumption of financial respon sibility. Nothing has been done to guard the riding public against dangers re sulting from long hours and overwork by the drivers, although one of the oper ators stated yesterday that these "impair the efficiency of the drivers and endan ger the public.” Nothing has been at tempted to assure the driver a minimum wage for his labors, or to guarantee any standard of service by the taxi com panies. The local taxicab business is an ex ample of unrestricted competition at its worst. And, while Congress has finally given the Public Utilities Commission authority to fix regulations on rates and zones, it has still left the commission's hands tightly tied as concerns adequate regulations for public convenience and safety. The Great Court. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, in a letter to the New York Herald Tribune, strongly urges that the Su preme Court of the United States be kept out of party politics. Its members, he says, should be free of the suspicion that they are presidential possibilities. For the sake of the court as well as the country, which must look to its highest tribunal for the protection of its liber ties, Mr. Borah's advice should be heeded. The Supreme Court has its functions to perform. They are as vital to the country as any that may be per formed by the Chief Executive. The court has not long since given a demon stration. It has given new hope to millions of Americans who have watched with increasing alarm the encroach ments of the Executive upon the legis lative branch of the Government. The strength of the decision of the court lay in the fact that it was non-partisan. It was the unanimous opinion of men holding widely divergent political views before they dedicated themselves to service on the supreme bench. The Senator from Idaho was impelled to address his letter to the New York Herald Tribune because of newspaper reports that efforts might be made to ‘•draft" either Associate Justice Stone or Associate Justice Roberts for the Re publican presidential nomination next year. Senator Borah made no criticism of these gentlemen. His attack was upon the proposal that the membership of the highest court should be dragged into partisan politics; that the court might become a hot-bed, a greenhouse for the cultivation of presidential booms. The thoughts of the people have been turned to the Supreme Court in recent weeks because that tribunal has spoken out effectually to check usurpation of power and the unconstitutional delega tion of the law-making authority of Con gress. The suggestion that the major political party in opposition to the Roosevelt New Dealers should turn for leadership to a member of the court may be natural. At the same time it would necessarily be embarrassing to any of these judges who have given themselves so wholeheartedly to the cause of justice and the support of the Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States has been a bulwark for the people on many occasions. As Senator Borah has pointed out, it was the Su preme Court which finally called a halt on the military government of the Southern States, imposed by an embit tered Congress at the close of the Civil War. It was the decisions of that great court which ultimately brought again to that section of the Nation the freedom which is American. The Supreme Court now has begun the task of halting a dictatorial government of the people. It has much more to do. It is no time to shake the faith of the people in this tribunal by making it appear merely a political proving ground for great guns. A happy birthday was spent by John D. Rockefeller, who must feel some sat isfaction in noting how much anti-trust legislation a wise and public-spirited financier can survive. Arms for Scandinavia. It is not only the equilibrium in West ern Europe that has been disturbed by Great Britain’s private naval under standing with Germany. Northern Eu rope, too? is upset by the rearranged balance of power, which again makes the Reich a force in the North Sea and the Baltic. While the rest of the Old World has been giving Itself over to costly competition in armaments since the World War, the Scandinavian king doms have devoted themselves to pursuit of the peaceful arts, concentrating time, energy and resources exclusively upon development of their respective social and economic interests. Now Sweden, Denmark and Norway, which have been called “the last out posts of sanity in Europe," suddenly realize the need of strengthening their defenses, unless they are to face help lessly contingencies created by the re emergence of Germany as a naval power. While both the Reich and Rus sia remained negligible at sea, the Swedes, Danes and Norwegians experi enced the luxury of effortless security. They presented the exemplary aspect of nations which had solved the joint problems of peace and disarmament. The Scandinavian peoples envision henceforward an entirely different and far less comfortable situation. With the Nazi fleet in unchallenged control of the Baltic, Sweden’s position becomes especially worse. Plans are already in the making to concentrate the whole of her foreign trade at Gothenburg, on the North Sea, in order to avoid any de pendence on the Baltic in case of war. With the Baltic and the Skagerak vir tually alienated to the Germans by the

British, Swedes are now talking about France as the only power to which they can look for support. The Anglo-German naval deal re quires Denmark, too, seriously to recon sider her defense problem. The Danes have already been reminded from Ger many that they control the entrances to the Baltic and that Danish neutrality can be maintained only if Denmark retains the power to close or open the Great and Little Belts and the Sound at will. Denmark has also had Nazi warn ings that the Reich, one of these days, may seek rectification of the post-war arrangement that restored part of Schleswig-Holstein to Danish Jurisdic tion. Stockholm dispatches report that be cause of these various considerations the Scandinavian states reluctantly now face the necessity of armaments on a substantial scale. Even the present So--. cial Democratic government in Sweden recognizes the conditions that the new situation in the Baltic has brought about and is in mood to act accord ingly. It is an ironical circumstance that the region which is the birthplace of the Nobel Peace Prize idea has at length been drawn into the orbit of the international race in war machinery. Robert Fulton Bridge. A proposal has been made for a name for the new bridge across Rock. Creek at P street, now approaching comple tion. The fact has been recalled that Robert Fulton, Inventor of the steam boat, made his first experiments on those waters with a model that later developed into the Clermont, and his name is suggested for the viaduct span ning the valley. There should be no question of its adoption. Fulton was a friend of Joel Barlow, American poet, philosopher and patriot. His home was Kalorama, an estate then bordering on Rock Creek. Fulton and Barlow col laborated in the early researches in the application of steam to navigation, and it was while Fulton was a guest of Barlow at Kalorama that these early experiments were conducted. Rock Creek was then a considerable stream and afforded a suitable practice course for such a purpose. No memorial to Fulton exists in Wash ington. although his name is identified with the early history of the Capital. It is doubly appropriate that it be now given to the structure spanning the creek, a replacement of one that has borne only the title of the thoroughfare of which it has been for many years a feature. To name this bridge for Fulton would definitely fix in the public mind for all time the fact that the waters which it spans were utilized by the great inventor, a man of exceptional genius, a native American, and a con tributor beyond measure to the welfare of humanity through his discoveries and devices, and were the scene of the ex periments which gave to this country the everlasting credit of steam navigation.

Its counterpart is the “beautiful” brick wall at the new Internal Revenue Building, placed there to torment motorists—a fine principle of co-operation! They have cut down all the beautiful trees which formerly "marred" the beauty of the Agriculture grounds—and replaced them with beautiful mud, to bring a desert look, beautiful signs that look like miniature tomb stones, some grass and the aforesaid trash can. Now they say there will be one-hour parking for the tourists. How generous I One whole hour for the tourists to see the new museum, the Medical Museum, the old museum, the aircraft building, the 8mithsonian and Freer Art Gallery. -How very generous, especially as a goodly part of the space is illegally “reserved for Congressmen and holders of official permits only.” Methinks I hear the murmuring of a certain official who, when he took office, said that in five years he would have all the cars off the streets of Washington. Already many people are shopping out of town be cause they can't get parking here, rea sonably. But to return to the tourist needs. Their trade should increase every year, so why not make the denuded Smith sonian Mall into a huge parking place for tourists? One. at the very least, for two hours, would be a real help to the tourist. It has proven so at the CapitoL Then make at least two driveways north and south between Twelfth and Seventh streets, across this Mall for the tourist. As it is they must waste precious time and drive to Twelfth street, or Seventh street, to go north or south five blocks with no exit. Why not be practical and humane to both tourist and residents in this great motor problem, instead of concocting ways to make life harder for them? A great many motorists from the Gov ernment buildings north of Constitu tion avenue park on Independence ave nue—thus adding greatly to the bedlam south of Constitution avenue at 4:30 If those buildings had reasonable park ing spaces—and it could be done—their cars would be out of the way by the time the traffic from south of Constitu tion avenue reaches there. It seems to me the country has gone made on beauty versus the practical. A huge parking place for tourists on the denuded Smithsonian Mall would be practical and hospitable and en hance the beauty of the Mall—in the eyes of the motorists who have no “re served spaces,” and would be a real comfort and pleasure to tourists. W. P. RIESECK. Investor in Utilities Protests Oppression To thf Editor of The Star: I voted for President Roosevelt, but I regret it now as I am not in «ym pathy with his radical views toward the utility corporations. I have money in one of the big electric corporations and in my estimation millions in all walks of life will suffer serious loss from their investments in the utility corporations if Mr. Roosevelt is allowed to interfere in the expansion of these companies. Many women have most of their money invested in the utility cor porations and if they become in any way crippled or curbed and the divi dend rates cut some will suffer. The big utility corporations are a public necessity and they hire thousands of clerks and should be allowed to prosper without interference. I think that Mr. Roosevelt instead of attacking so-called big business should encourage it. Does Mr. Roosevelt desire to add more people to those now on charity and to reduce to pauperism thousands by crippling the utility companies by in terference? I have always been loyal to American institutions and am opposed to communism and all detrimental agencies seeking to destroy or to under mine American institutions, because when my grandfather and his children became American citizens (on their arrival from Wales* my grandfather always stressed loyalty to the land of his adoption and opposed communism in all forms and taught his children and grandchildren to do likewise. I, how ever, feel now that President Roosevelt's attitude toward the utility corporations is almost communistic in theory and if followed out will ruin the utility com panies and also mean financial ruin to millions of investors. Pittsburgh. DOROTHY A. DAVIS. What Prohibition Did Accomplish To the Editor of The Star: Mr. Walter Walton seems to be of the opinion that perfection in the com mercialization and consumption of alco holic drinks has been reached. Calling himself a “dry,” though negatived by the sense of his remarks, he takes his fling at prohibition. Let us see what prohibition accom plished. Practically all legal intoxicants, representing 75 per cent of preprohibi tion alcohol, were completely barred. The 25 per cent of illegal liquors in the preprohibition era was doubled. Hence a 50 per cent, at least, reduction in the consumption of alcohol for bev erage purposes. But the greatest accomplishment of prohibition, generally overlooked, was that there was no solicitation. If a man drank, he did so without solicita tion: he was not induced by display, advertisement, personal or other ‘solici tation. Today every effort is being made to make men, women and children alco holic conscious. And this self-alleged dry approves even to the extent of attempting to glorify same as ideal. If there was an Increase in lawless ness in a trade which never had been lawful the same was to be expected from a leadership at the greatest ebb in America. And prohibition will come back when the present stage of abuse lingers a while longer. And the greatest proof of the value of prohibition is that the distilleries have not found the mar ket for their products whleh they ex pected. Mr. Walton may be fooled, but the distillers are not. They know that prohibtion broke a habit, and they are desperately attempting to return America to the stage of alcoholic con sciousness as before prohibition. And then, Mr. Walton should know, there was the ulterior purpose known of all men. GEORGE W. JONES. ___ I Style From the Kansas City Times.

A striking Instance of the vast need for oxygen by goldfishes is to be seen In a local aquarium. Nine fishes still gasp for breath in a 40-gallon tank, supplied with three aerators worked by electricity, and a constant drip of running water across the top of their aquarium. Probably as many as 500 guppies might be kept in that tank without any arti ficial aeration of any sort, and certainly without running water. Two hundred or more average tropical fishes could enjoy life to the fullest in such a “swell tank," plentifully sup plied with good plants, growing well as the result of plenty of light. Those who have kept two or more goldfishes in a small bowl will wonder how they did it, then. The answer is easy: They permitted the creatures to gasp.

Thousands of keepers of goldfishes ought to bear in mind this picture of the nine fishes in 40 gallons of water, supplied with all the latest gadgets for their care—and yet still gasping for oxygen. If they will breathe uneasily after such provisions, what must they not do in the 1 or 2 gallon bowl? Changing the water, the time-honored remedy, is not enough. While the ordinary common goldfish may stand this treatment for a long time, it can only be said to be better than nothing. The ideal, in the care of these or other fishes, is to furnish them with as near an approach to natural conditions as possible. Even the most careless person will realize that very few keepers ever begin to duplicate such conditions. Then how do they do as well as they do by their charges? ▼TV There are just two answers: 1. Hardy fishes. 2. Keeping just a few. The real answer is the second. This is the best way to make up to the ani mals for deflciences of water content and food. If only a few fishes are kept, they will adjust themselves to the condi tions under which they must live, if these are not too severe upon them. Hence it is perfectly possible for the average person to handle these bright fellows with some success. It will be seen, in the tank instanced above, that approximately 4 gallons of water was supplied each fish, and still it was not enough to keep them from gasping for air. It was not enough even when air was blown by an electric pump through porous stones. It was not suffi cient even when there was a constant drip of water. If this tank were to be taken as a standard, we might well believe that the keeping of goldfishes in the average home would be impossible, but every one knows that it is done more or less suc cessfully in thousands of cases. Often no sand or plants are used at all, still the creatures manage to exist. The question remains: How do they do it? The answer still is: They are hardy creatures, if once acclimated to the con ditions under which they are to live.

One of the biggest mistakes people make, in setting up a goldfish tank, lies in taking them from the cold water of the dealer’s tank, and putting them all at once Into wanner water at home. It Is not too much to say that a large part of the failure with these pictur esque, interesting denizens of the deep rivers is due to suddenly dropping them from water of one temperature to an other. The harm may not show for weeks, and even then it will not be traceable to the sudden change, but that will be the real cause of the trouble. Hence It is Important to measure the temperature of the water In the bucket they are In, and also of the water they are to be placed In, before any transfer Is made. If the temperatures are not the same, or practically the same, within a few degres, they should be made so. Every care must be taken In Summer to keep the water temperature low. Ice cubes, however, are not recommended. The best solution is a window where air can blow over the surface of the water, and where not much direct sunlight will hit the tank. If the aquarium is directly by the window, the light will be strong enough to keep the plants in good shape, at the same time not so intense as to cause green algae to collect, bringing about the unfavorable condition known as "green water,” familiar to mo6t people who have kept fishes in tanks for any little length of time.

The more intense light of the Summer is responsible for most of this inimical condition, which colors the water and gradually hides the fishes from view. So far no real remedy has been evolved. Chemical means for clearing are to be viewed with suspicion. Cover ing the tanks with colored papers of various sorts is mostly hokum. While now and then a tank may clear up, under such treatment, the owner will have the deep-seated suspicion that it was mostly good fortune, and that some other unknown factor really did the work. One thing is sure, whether one deals with a tank containing tropical fishes or goldfishes, there is no need for some of the light which strikes the water, either from the top or through the sides. The clear water aquarium must re main the ideal, whether one’s object simply is to display the Inmates properly or to breed them. There is little if any thing to be said for "green water,” even if it Is supposed to be healthy. Clear water is healthier and much better look ing. One may fancy the fishes prefer it, too. especially those species which in nature enjoy crystal clear habitats.

There can be little doubt, whether one deals with tropicals or goldfishes, that one of the best solutions of many prob lems, including both clear water and healthy fishes, is to cut down the num ber of animals kept in any given body of water. This will mean that bits of waste food will not have a chance to do harm, because the precise condition brought about by the products of too many ani mals, in combination with left-over food, cannot get in its bad work. This will mean that the water will be clearer, and, all things taken into con sideration, more filled with oxygen, with less canon dioxide and other harmful by-products of organic life. If we wish more oxygen in water, one way of getting it. in effect, is to see that less carbon dioxide is in it. Then the amount of oxygen is relatively higher, whether actually more or not. It is as simple as that, and no doubt many a tank has failed for no greater reason. Sometimes one sees fewer plants advo cated for Summer, but we do not believe in that, and do not believe the fishes do, either, whether gold or others. The more plants, within reason, the better. But this, only, if the number of animals has been cut down. It is better to have two fishes in good health, and enjoying life, than half a dozen swimming slug gishly and unhappily. STARS, MEN AND ATOMS Notebook of Science Progress in Field, Laboratory and Study. BY THOMAS R. HEXRY. When the first white men came to the New World they encountered people with cultures superior, in some respects, to their own. The Indian doctor compared favorably with his white contemporary. Neither of them were much good, from the view point of modem medicine, but both had a vast accumulation of implrical meth ods and formulae which contained much of real value. The white medicine was suitable to the conditions of Europe, where it had been developed through the centuries. The Indian medicine was adapted to the conditions of life in America and when the Pilgrim fathers settled at Plymouth they owed much to the red medicine men. A photostatic copy of what is believed to be the first medical treatise written in the New World has Just been ob tained by the Smithsonian Institution from the Vatican Library. Hitherto its existence has been known only to a few scholars. It was found by Dr. Charles U. Clark while in search of early American texts in European libraries. The treatise—an herbal describing the various plants and other materials used in Aztec medical prescriptions—was the work of two Aztecs who were educated at the College of Santa Cruz, founded by the Spanish in 1535. Composed originally in Aztec, it was Immediately translated into Latin. The chief author appears to have been a certain Martin de la Cruz. The date was 1552. This college was the first institution of higher learning established in Mexico by the Spanish for the education of “sons of gentlemen of the principal towns and larger provinces. The authors probably were students there. A description of the manuscript, with a resume of the contents by Dr. Emily W. Emmart of Johns Hopkins Univer sity, has just been issued. The materia medica of the Aztecs was highly developed at the time of the con quest. It compared favorably with that of Europe, where physicians were still practising astrology, imitative magic and witchcraft in addition to the scanty medical science of the age. For the peculiar needs of a people living at a high altitude in a semi-tropical country, the Indian medicine probably was su perior to the European. This was recog nized by the Franciscan friars of the College of Santa Cruz. There the native curative arts were taught in preference to those of the white men. The works of many of the great European herbalists of the sixteenth century bear witness to the fact that Aztec medical teachings had considerable influence over the practise of healing in Europe. Aztec medicine, as is shown by this herbal, was practical and relatively free from superstition. A few healing charms are described, but such were common to all medicine at the time. For the most part this materia medica is made up of time-tested remedies which were used because of their demonstrated efficacy. The demonstra tions might not satisfy the modem prac titioner, but this was the sixteenth century. This medical science was not the property of the Aztecs alone. It was the distillation of the experience of centuries, and probably reaches far back into earlier civilizations. It was, above 4 all, the medicine of the people* uncon tamlnated with the rationalizations of the priest-doctors. Centuries before the Spanish con quest the Aztecs had collected flowers and herbs from the lowlands and de veloped a true botanical garden. The early historian, Torquemada, wrote: "Montezuma kept a garden of medi cinal herbs and the court physicians experimented with them and attended the nobility. But the common people came rarely to these doctors for medic inal aid, not only because a fee was charged for their services, but also be cause the medical value of herbs was common knowledge and they could con coct remedies from their own gardens." The first chapter deals with head ail ments, such as colds, abscesses, falling hair and skull fractures. The second describes treatment for sore eyes, fever, blood-shot eyes, cataract, insomnia and drowsiness. The third is devoted to ear infections. The authors describe in detail treatments for headache and for nose-bleeding. Two of the most interesting plants described as cures for pain are the "tolo hauxihuitl” and the "nexehuac,” both members of the datura family, whose plants are used the world over for their narcotic properties, the effect being due to the fact that they contain the drug atropine. Remedies are described for such varied ailments as dysentery, skin diseases, gout, pain in the joints, bums, wounds, cracks in the soles of the feet, etc. Long before the days of modem psy chiatry these Indians considered fear, fatigue and feeblemindedness as diseases and prescribed medical treatment for them. Besides the use of plants, ani mals, stones, various kinds of earth, salts and carbon were used in the con coction of the Aztec medical formulae. There are numerous references to the use of bezoar stones, which were ob tained from different species of birds. Salt, obtained in cakes from the salt lake of Taxcoco, was one of the chief articles of trade during the Aztec empire period. Animal charcoal was used in the preparation of bitter principles for infusions and tinctures. It is used for the same purpose today, although in purer form. Fast or Slow?

The Cut in Palm Beach, Fla., lo cated immediately south of the Palm Beach Country Club and running from County road (Palm Beach avenue) to Lake Trail, was dug in 1914 by the Florida East Coast Hotel Co. This Cut was made by a channeling machine which is really a huge circular saw used extensively in cutting this type of rock on the Florida Keys. The pur pose of the Cut was two-fold: To provide a wheel chair path connecting County road with Lake Trail. To pro vide a run-off for water from the hy draulic dredge used in filling the land which is now the golf course of the Palm Beach Country Club. With the passing of the years, the Cut has grown more beautiful from year to year be cause of the vines and tropical foliage which has been developed. It is still used extensively for wheel chair traffic —particularly as there is now a separate wheel chair path on County road which extends from the Cut south to Wells road. It is, of course, also used by bicycle riders, who have greatly increased in number in the last two years. Q. Was John D. Rockefeller a soldier during the Civil War?—R. E. G. A. He did not serve. Q.

SETTLEMENT SEEN FOR EVERYSTRIKE White Motor’s President Says Study Will Show Common Ground. CLEVELAND, July 9 OF).— Every labor dispute offers common ground on which to base a speedy settlement, says Robert F. Black, new president of the White Motor Co., who led negotiations that ended a week's strike of 2,500 employes last month in what he termed “permanently har monious relations.” Members of the White local of the United Automobile Workers' Union, claiming nearly 100 per cent mem bership, left their jobs May 22. They j returned to work May 29. Peaceful relations prevailed between •mployes and management during the j week of the strike. Black purchased j base ball equipment for men on the picket line and threw open the firm's 1 nearby parking lot to provide them I with a place to play. Union Watchmen Remain. To permit the union to stage its strike without disorder, Black opened downtown offices to carry on routine correspondence. The huge plant was closed entirely except for union watchmen who remained on duty to keep insurance policies valid. "We found common ground imme diately.” Black said. "Union spokes men presented their case frankly and clearly. In less than a week we agreed e on proposed terms for settlement. The union voted unanimously to ac cept.” Black, who at 46 years of age en countered his first labor dispute, said “95 per cent of all people seek to do what’s right.” "For that reason, analysis of any disagreement should disclose common ground, certain fundamentals on which to base a settlement. No one ever wins a war or a strike.” Demanded Wage Increase. The union demanded wage in creases, seniority rights and other minor concessions. “We pointed out that we paid wages as high as any concern in the in dustry,” Black said. “Then we per mitted union representatives to study the company's books. They saw in them the true picture of existing busi ness conditions. “Both sides to the controversy re gard it as a closed incident. There are no wounds to heal; no unpleas antness to be forgotten.” He said he has striven always to maintain personal contact with men in his employ. “There is only one way to understand their problems.” he said. "You must understand them personally.” FOUR TOWNS INUNDATED NEAR FORT PECK DAM Several Hundred Residents Safe at Motorists Carry Warning of Missouri Flood. FORT PECK. Mont., July 9.—Four "mushroom" towns of ordinarily dry Galpin Coulee near the $72,000,000 i Fort Peck Dam project, were partially under water today. Their several hun dred residents were safe, warned a few minutes before flood waters struck. A torrent described as 100 feet wide and 4 feet deep rushed down the cou lee following a rainstorm below the site of the dan; and above the small, flimsily constructed towns of Midway, Park Grove, New Deal and Parkdale. Motorists, who barely escaped the high water as it overflowed highways, sped to Fort Peck and warned Army j officers in charge of the huge Gov ernment reclamation and power proj ect on the headwaters of the Missouri River. The officers sent couriers to awaken sleeping lesidents of the four small •'squatter” towns and they fled from their beds to high surrounding hills. The towns are occupied by Fort Peck workmen and their families. HONORABLE DISCHARGE IS DENIED EX-SOLDIERS By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt yesterday vetoed bill which would have transferred Joseph W. Harley of Milwaukee to the roll of honorably discnarged from the military service. Acting on a report from the Sec- retary of War, the President said, “I do not feel justified in approving this bill.” The office of Representative O'Mal ley, Democrat, of Wisconsn, who in troduced the bill, said Harley was given a dishonorable discharge after serving in the Spanish-American War because he disappeared from his post in 1902 while suffering from amnesia. He returned later to his post, it was explained, but meanwhile had been charged with desertion. He first enlisted m the Army in 1895. again in 1898 and the third time In 1902, and served in the Philippines from 1899 to 1901. Customs Agent No Sissy Smugglers Learn to Fear Men Who Defy Unknown Dangers. BY GENEVIEVE FORBES HERRICK. (Copyright. 1935. by North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) THE United States customs agent is no sissy. At dawn a short time ago, one of them, Herbert Plasman. was found dead on the Jersey shore, where, through a stormy night, he had forced his rowboat against tides and winds, in and out of hidden coves. later revealed, a $1,000 bribe. Then he raised it to *2.000. St-'U Romberger refused, and said: “You’re under ar rest.” There was a scuffle, the smug gler pulled a gun. Then there was a real fight. Romberger pushed the man Into the water. He staggered back to shore, while No. 2 man In charge of the “catch” took up the battle, and finally put out one of Romberger's eyes. Also hit him with in search of smugglers. It happened that he died of a natural cause. But it might have been, as it not infre quently is, a gun that ended the night's adventure. A few weeks ago, in Seattle, an other agent. Melvin L. Hanks, in a story as thrilling as any you’d see in the movies, revealed that he had lived for a year with Chinese opium smugglers in order to bring them at last to justice. Both these stories focused attention on this group of men who, from rea son of efficiency as well as modesty, do their work in the shelter of se crecy. Must Be Quick and Sure. Nervy and nerveless, they must be quick with the leg-work; not slow with the head-work; and pretty rapid, when the time demands, with the trigger finger. But when it’s all over, if they are alive to tell the tale, they boil it down into matter-of-fact sentences in a report sent to Commissioner Moyle in Washington. It is in between the lines of these business-like reports that you find scenarios packed with drama. Statistically, there are about 9,000 employes, men as well as women, in the entire customs service. The in vestigative unit numbers 160, of whom 40 are stationed in foreign countries and 120 in the United States, inland as well as at the borders. These are the men who do the Sherlock Holmes stuff. The customs patrol service has ap proximately 700 members, concentrat ed pretty largely on the borders. These are the boys who most often have to face the guns in the dark. But both branches of the service meet danger pretty regularly. The statistics show that, in the last 12 years, 23 men in these two branches have met death in the line of duty. Scores have been severely wounded. lypical l ases Reviewed. Let's read between the lines in a few cases. To do this, we have the aid of Edson Shamhart, an intrepid Tennesseean who served 13 thrilling years as an agent, and now is a legal adviser in the bureau here. Mr Shamhart points to the line— Daniel Romberger, killed, Tampa, Fla., April 25, 1932. Then he tells the story back of that brief sentence. One night Romberger and his part ner (they usually travel in pairs) drove out from Miami to Dania Beach, stopped the car when it bogged down in the sand near a little bridge. Rom berger left his partner to watch the car (smugglers have a way of setting fire to agents' cars) and he went up the beach some 100 yards, where he saw a light on a boat and a crowd of men. “Well, to make a long story short." says Mr. Shamhart, “he sees its smug gled rum and he jumps on the boat. Of course that was a fool thing to do, all alone and 20 men, but that’s the way those agents are, absolutely un afraid.’’ Bribe Ofler Refused. The leader of the smugglers came forward, offered Romberger. as it was AIL-EXPENSE TOURS This Summer From CHICAGO to COLORADO 9 Day» Only *51— YELLOWSTONE 9 Days Only *112“ Go any day daring the won.

Rack Island Linas 1204 Fidelity* Philadelphia Trait Bldg. Philadelphia, Pa. a gun until his skull was cracked, then tossed him into the water. The story now shifts to the parked auto. The partner, alarmed for his comrade's safety, walked down the beach. By this time the boat had put off, nobody left but two frightened boys who nad been pressed into serv Ice to help unload the liquor and who had witnessed the horrible fight. All the rest of the night they searched for Romberger’s body. At dawn It was washed up. There’s the story of Clyde Bristow, killed In Nogales, Ariz., January 11, 1932. "Killed,” says Mr. Shamhart, "be cause he tried to give the other fel low a decent chance for his life. That’s our policy. We don’t believe In machine-gun tactics." But the other fellow, a Mexican apprehended in his automobile of smuggled goods, fled after the killing, while Bristow's partner was fighting off the Mexican's partner. Trip Comes After Three Tears. The case aroused so much sympathy among Bristow’s fellow agents that they took up a collection among themselves to run down clues. And just this week, It is reported, they have a hot tip about the murder that occurred three years ago. There were other stories, too, In that list of 23 deaths. But one of the most thrilling stories in the flies did not end in death, but in victory for the agent. It Is the fctory of Melvin L. Hanks. More than a year ago, the Custom Bureau ordered Coast Guard cutters to trail all liners from the Orient to see that the liners didn’t "dump dope’’ to smugglers in rowboats. Hanks was assigned to superintend that survey. Because of Hanks' strategic posi tion, a powerful Chinese, the alleged leader of an opium ring, came to him. offered to give him a cut of every cargo of narcotics which was landed safely. Hanks, pretending he was a crooked officer, agreed to the proposi tion. The Chinese gave him a jade ring, set in solid gold, as a symbol of their pact. Both vowed that. If one were faithless to the agreement, the other could kill him. Recorded Voice on Record. For a year. Hanks lived with the Chinese and his comrades. They even sent him to Chicago with $8,000 worth of opium for their agent there. It was In Chicago that Hanks staged his famous bit of detective work. He got the Chinese ringleader In a hotel room. In the socket of the electric light he previously had rigged up a recording microphone; had it wired to an apparatus In the next room, which took down every thing on a wax record. In this ad jacent room he posted another agent. Then he went with the Chinese into his room. The Chinese started to turn on the light. Quickly, Hanks rushed forward, snapped on another light, remarking casually, "This one works; that doesn’t.” Then, carefully, he led the Chinese, In memory, back to the first time they had met; the proposition, the success of the deals, and the big catch soon to come. The smuggler told It all. That is to be an important piece of evidence in the trial. For. a few weeks ago, Hanks finally persuaded the smugglers that he could get better protection for them if they would abandon their habit of trans ferring the opium out in Puget Sound, but would come right to the pier in Seattle where he, Hanks, had author ity. They agreed. Smart Smugglers Nabbed. Hanks was to watch the pier—the crooked officer protecting the smug glers. Instead, he had two rowboats, with two customs agents in each, near at hand, and a speedboat. When, in the dead of night, (37,000 worth of opium was lowered from a liner, the agents closed in, got the contraband and six of the smartest smugglers In the country. Mr. Shamh&rt, to go back to him, admitted he’d been shot at himself; along the levee near New Orleans. But It was nothing, he said—"my partner got It worse than I did.” So It wasn’t until later that I learned Mr. Sham hart "still has some of the lead in him. He was in a tight spot that night; but he won’t say much about it.” Which seems to be typical of the "all in a day's work” attitude of these men who work for the customs service.
