PUBLIC NAMED
AS REFEREE IN
BUDGET FIGHT

ASHNGTO Oct. 80. R-
ftghing temper aroused, Pres
Hoover intends to appoint the pub
lie as referee for an open bout
with q Navy league critical OF MS
plans TO shrink the naval budget.
With spectacular suddenness, the
president last night issued a formal
defy declaring the claims OF William
II. Gardiner, president Of the Navy
league, to be "untruths and diStor-
tons OF fact" The day before ne
himself had been accused by
Gardiner Of "absymal ignorance
and an effort TO "starve" the navy.
Even as MIR. Hoover was answer
ing this attack, his administrators
affirmative reply 70 a League OF Ma
lions proposal for O one-year naval
building tracs participated IN by 81
nations was en route TO Geneva.
The presidents statement said ne
would appoint a committee, on which
would be members OF the navy lea
que, to make an inquiry into the
merits OF the attack on him and MS
policies.
Upon It's completion" he said. j
shall expect Mr.. Gardiner TO make a
public correction OF his misstate-
ments and an apology therefor"
Apparently u~nperturbed by the
turn Of events, however, Gardiner
showed no inclination To apologize
He vas surprised" he said, that
Mr.. Hoover would appoint a commits
sion OF his W rather than sponsor
q congressional investigation.
"Of course I should welcome the
congressional investigation that
would bring out and publish all the
pertinent facts," he added.
The president lss It be known some
weeks ago he would go directly tc
the American people, II necessary
TO combat efforts 10 arouse public
opinion in favor Of increased naval
expenditure.
Assertions Made.
1Vere are some OF the assertions
ne In the Navy league pamphlet:
A2 president was charged with ex-
kitfng an "absymal ignorance o.
&hy navies are maintained and Of
how they are used 70 accomplish
their major mission"
A proposal by him to immunizs
sea-borne food supplies during time
OF war was attacked as making fol
bigger and bloodier wars"
The president and Ramsey Mac
Donald, British prime minister, dur
ing their conversations In 1929 were
said to have reached agreements
that have never officially been d.
yulged in their entirety"
The administration was seen as
possibly inspiring the plan OF
Foreign Minister Grandi OF Italy fol
a one year armament holiday.
Acceptance Of the Grandi pro-
posal, 1t vas said. would widen the
ratio of the American, British, ano
Japanese fleets 10 10.0-147-ll.9 as
, against London Treaty proportions
Of l0.0-10.2-68.

HOPE To REGAIN
. 100000 OF
BANK LOOT
Brokers Hold That Much of
Margin on VOLTS Accounts;
Denies He Had ACCompIiCe

CHICAGO, Sept. 3 QNS0.-In.
vestigators continued today to
delve into the $4,000, 900 emhezzle-
ment in bonds from the Continen.
tai Illinois Bank by Walter E.
Wolf, a penny-pincher in his
home but a dizzy plunger in
grain market speculations.
The investigation was a two
headed one, two groups, the bank
and LlOyds of London, which
must stand most of the loss, pur.
suing the answers to two ques-
tionS: "WhO helped Wolf with his
huge theftS?" and chow much
can be recOvered?"
The Chicago Board of Trade
announced last night through it's
president. James C. Murray, that
1t would investigate brokerage
houses which handled VOLTS deal
ings in grain to determine
whether any were culpable and
whether statesmen encouraged him
by false promises.
Lone Wolf, He Says
Wolf insists that he conducted
his regular thefts alone and the
bank is convinced he had no &C
completes within the institution,
which is the largest bank in
Chicago and ranks fourth in the
nation.
But some contend that others
were implicated through knowl-
edge of what the $4,000-a-year
head of the banks coupon de-
partment was doing, through
leading him into runious at
tempts to recoup past losses.
Recovery Of one million dollars
I'm bonds in anticipated as that
amount is held by brokers as
margin in VOLTS accounts. The
recovery of this will be teniOus
process, involving a long, legal
fight.
Refuses to Get lawyer
Wolf was still in custody of
lawyers and private detectives in
a hotel, a voluntary prisoner. He
has declined to retain a lawyer.
His days are spent in the bank
and in brokerage offices checking
his dealings.
The chief comment in La Sale
street was: Nobody ever stole
so much and got so little out of
it, 1t appears that out of the
millions he took, less than $500
went for personal uses.
