REQUEST OF HENRY FORD
Committee Refuses to Hear More Evil
dence Regarding the New
berry Case

Washington. - Requests OF Henry
Ford's counsel that more evidence be
heard In his contest for the seat of
Senator Newberry, Republican, Of
Michigan. were denied by the senate
committee conducting the hearings
and trial stages of the case were in
effect terminated.
Chairman Spencer's formal ruling,
referring to the Ford demand for per-
mission to 20 into the bank accounts
of Lyman y. Smith, a new York bro
ker. who helped finance the Newberry
campaign, drew an equally formal dis
sent from Senator Walcott of Della
ware, Democrat. Mr.. Walcott said
that he would probably ask that Sen
ator Newberry be. called In his own
case. but wanted to reserve the matter
for later decision
Judge Muffin, representing Senator
Newberry, offered no testimony when
Alfred Lucking, counsel for Mr.. Ford,
announced their last witness had been
heard under the committees ruling.
He inserted into the record some of
the transcript OF evidence taken In the
criminal proceedings against the New
berry campalgners last year and
stopped with that indicating that he
would not even seek opportunity for
argument.

BANKERS TO EXTEND
CREDIT TO CATTLEMEN
Finance Heads Of East Join Those Of
West to Meet Livestock
Emergency

Washington. p. Morgan and
other eastern financiers have agreed
to raise $25,OOO,0OO as half of pool
for making loans to the livestock in
dustry, 1t was stated officially at the
treasury department. The other S25,-
100000 will be raised by western
bankers, 1t was said.
Details of the credit relief measures
for livestock raisers so far worked out,
treasury officials explained, call for
pool of S50,OOO.OOO, raised and dis
tributed through private channels in
stead of the proposal for like sum
of federal funds made available
through the war finance corporation.
The eastern capital, it was said,
would come from New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, and other cities, though
in just what proportions has not yet
been decided. A committee Of east
ern bankers will meet with a commit
tee from the western banks in Chicago,
Wednesday, and it is expected ar
engagements will be completed, then
for providing the other half of the loan
funds.
The $50.O00,O00 pool is to be ad.
ministered from Chicago. according to
present plans, by way of advances to
banks in the stock raising sections or
cattle loan companies.
Interest charges to the stockmen
would be at current rates with matur.
tiles Of six months on the paper
While about two years are required
for the turnover on the livestock. il
was said the loans would be subject TO
review and renewal at maturity. which
would make the paper eligible for re-
discount by federal reserve banks.
Credit needs Of sheep rasers as well
as cattle growers are to be taken care
of under the Chicago pool, officials
added.
