tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. discharges
that a group of republicans who
expect to be candidates for office
next fall have discussed with "sev-
eral managers of the motion pic
ture industry" plans for "using the
big moving picture trust to flood
the country with propaganda help
full to the republicans" were made
today by Representative Rouse of
Kentucky chairman of the nation
al democratic congressional COM
mittee. He concluded formal
statement in which he declared
campaign plans had been discussed
at a luncheon held at a Washing
ton hotel last Friday with an asser-
tion that the moving picture indus
try must keep out of politics"
II do not believe the men who
own the controlling stock in the
motion picture industry will coun-
tenance this" Mr.. Rouses state
ment said.
''In the first place they have too
much sense to jeopardize the suc-
cess of their business and the
second place I believe most of
them are democrats. Even the re-
publican theatrical men know that
everything shown on the screen in
recent months connected with the
present administration has been
unpopular. Every theater goer
comments on this. Before this pro-
cedure is allowed to start Il
would be well for the heads Of the
business to reflect and ask them
selves if they can afford to go into
politics at this time"

New York, Feb 23.--Financial
storms in speculative Wall street,
which swept the brokerage firm of
Kardos and Burke into bankruptcy
last night, hit four more houses to-
day.
Involuntary petitions In bank

against:
S, S. Ruskay and company, liabil-
titles estimated at s2,J00,000 and as

Gently led District Attorney Banton
to start an investigation Of alleged
irregular practices by brokers', the
most common of which was alleged
to be the "bucketing" of orders.
OF thirty odd firms that have
gone into bankruptcy since the first
of the year, twelve have been found
by grand juries to have operated in
a manner to warrant indictment of
some of their members Nineteen
persons are under indictment and
several of them are reported to
have DISAPPEARED from the city.
Unusual interest is attached to the
Kardos and Burke failure because
the junior membey of the firm,
John Burke, was treasurer of the
United States under former Presi-
dent Wilson. He resigned that
post in 1921 to go into business with
Kardos, q twenty-eight-y -year-old
broker, who started in Wall street
eight years ago as a $40 a week

Kardos. son of a wealthy Chi

RESOLUTION IS
INTRODUCED To
RECALL HARVEY
(By The associated press.)

Washington, Feb. ga .resolu-
tion designed to bring about the
recall from England of Ambassador
Harvey was introduced today by
Representative Ryan. republican,
New York. The measure proposes
congression; investigation of
statements made by the ambassa-
dor while abroad with a view of
having him detached from his post
In London.
Mr.. Ryan quoted extracts from
the press reports OF Mr.. Harvey's
address at the dinner recently
given in London in honor of A. J..
Balfour, a British delegate to the
arms conference, and also referred
to remarks made by the ambassa-
dor soon after his arrival in Eng
land in reference to the motives
which prompted the United States
to enter the war.
Contending that various state
ments OF Mr.. Harvey reflect dis
credit upon the aims and ideals of
the spirit that actuates the citizens
of the United States and constitute
an attempt to cast aspef sions upon
the patriotism and ideals Of Amer
ican citizens" Mr.. Ryan asserted
that "the attitude" of the Ameri-
can ambassador has "at all times
shown him to be proponent of
England's aims and ambitions
rather than those OF the country
he is supposed to represent"
