CARFARE ORDER
IS DUE TODAY

The Public Utilities Commission
order for the 3-cent carfare for
school children will be issued late
today.
Although it appeared virtually
certain yesterday that the order
would compel traction and bus
companies to accept a straight
Scent cash fare from students,
the situation appeared changed
today.
From all indications the COM
missions order will be predicated
on the sale of tickets in strips or
in books to the students.
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chair
man of the commission. said
samples of tickets will be submit
ted to the commission by the
traction companies today.

as mayor of Detroit, today had
chosen him as a candidate for

BENEFIT SEEN
FOR RETAIL
TRADE
Many Applicants in Dire Need
View Money as Godsend;
Some Idle Many Months

Approximately $20.000,000 has
already flowed out of the Treas.
ury in the form of soldiers loans,
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, vet
erans administrator, informed
President Hoover today.
General Hines said veterans
were being cared for at the rate
Of 10000 day, and that this
would be shortly pushed up to
$4,000 a day, with the addition
Of emergency personnel and
equipment for making loans.
Rush Is DwindIing
When the office of the Vet
erans' Bureau opened this morn
ing there were less than 20 men
in line, in contrast to the several
hundred on previous days.
More than 5000 certificates
passed through the office yester-
day. however, and a hastily re-
cruited force of extra clerks
worked until II o'clock last night
to put through the applications.
800 Clerks Added
Three hundred additional clerks
were placed on duty yesterday,
and the working force was divided
into two shifts. The first worked
from 8 a. m. until $3.50 p. M,
when the second shift went on
and worked until IL.
Besides the 300 who we're given
temporary jobs here, call was
made on the Civil Service Com
mission for 593 new workers for
jobs in the Veterans Bureau
branches throughout the country.
The bureau yesterday mailed
out 1900 checks, totaling $780,
900, to all parts of the country.
At least ,OOO,0OO,OOO will be
needed during this year to meet
the loan applications, Treasury
Department officials estimated.
Few New Borrowers
OF the 10000 applications re-
ceived here since the law went
into effect, less than 100 of the
men had not borrowed on their
certificates before, it was said.
Reports received here today, as
well as statements of many ex-
soldiers who fIOcked into Wash
ingtOn to make applications for
loans. indicated that at least a
portion of what they obtained
would go to pay their debts. This
will prove a substantial benefit
to many retailers.
Some of the less fortunate
veterans who have been out of
work for months said that for
them and their families the post
war payday call meant a few
square meals, and enough fuel
and clothing to get warm again.
The Veterans Bureau was con-
tinuing the policy of giving first
attention to needy soldiers. Many
who applied for loans carried
letters from service organizations,
the Red Cross and other societies
indicating they were in dire
straits.

BlueandBrown-Ey EyedHeirs
Fight for Big Estate

CHICAGO, March 8 UN.S).-
A family of seven-comprised Of
two blue-eyed parents, two blue
eyed children and three brown
eyed children-was to be ex-
hibited for scientific reasons to-
day in the court of Judge
Michael Feinberg.
Attorneys for George Adair
Greene Longley, fighting to break
the $1,000,000 will of the late
Albert w. Longley, hat manu-
facturer, contend this family
proves that, although George
Longley is brown-eyed, he may
still be the son of blue-eyed
Albert Longley and woman
with blue eyes.
The brown-eyed Longley claims
to be the son of the late manu-
facturer and his first wife, Mrs.
Alice Adair Longley. He is ask
ing for half of the Longley estate
instead of the $700 annuity pro-
vided in the will.

AWAIT
NAVAL PACT
REPORT
House of Commons to Hear
From Henderson, Alexander;
All Details Yelled in Secrecy

LONDON. March 3 GN.S0. =.
While political circles in many
countries hummed with conflict
ing rumors in regard to the prob.
able terms Of the naval accord
reached between the three Medi-
terranean powers over the week
end, the House of Commons pre-
pared today to receive the official
report Of its emissaries, Arthur
Henderson and A. v. Alexander
The provisions Of the agree
ment, settling the FrancO.Italian
naval dispute and said to pave q
way for adhesion by the Latin
nations to the London naval
treaty, were expected to be re-
veaIed by the various govern.
ments simultaneously today or
tomorrow.
No Facts Are Known
Strictest secrecy so far has
yelled every detail of the new
pact, despite all reputed knowl-
edge Of inside" information
emanating from various capitals.
Officials of the governments
concerned have emphatically
denied all reports on tonnage sup
posedly agreed upon by the Ital-
ian, French and British diplo-
mats, scouting them as nothing
more or less than rumors.
Question of Accord
It was pointed out here that
the chief question, in the last
analysis, is not a matter of tech
nical tonnage figures, but whether
the accord in principle" will
actually operate to bring France
and Italy into the London treaty
as signatories of the five-power
pact, or whether these two powers
have merely agreed upon a naval
holiday extending over some years.

AGITATION
Party Leaders Arriving for
Committee Session Opposed
to Prohibition Declaration
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES


Democratic atmosphere was
loaded with tenseness and sus-
picion today as party leaders be-
gan to drift into the Capital for
Thursdays meeting of the Demo-
cratic National Committee-ths
first party rally of any conSe-
quence since the 1928 campaign.
Plan May Be Abandoned
Under the circumstances, it is
considered extremely doubtful If
any effort will be made to com.
NIT the national committee to
any antiprOhibition declaration,
although such a commitment Is
reported to be very near the heart
of Chairman John ]. RaSkob.
Chairman RaScob has never ad-
mitted any intention Of seeking
to put the national committee on
record against prohibition. Neither
has he denied it. But in the
silence and the conflicting rumors
there has developed an opposition
to such project that is so wide
spread and so bitter that it
seemed today that if he ever had
such an intention it will have to
be abandoned.
Virtually every Southern Rep
reSentative is opposed to the ma
tiOnal committee taking any stand
on prohibition. To the South's
opposition today was added that
of New YOrk-Of all places.
No one questions the wetness
of the New York democracy. It
has been written into party plat
forms and candidates in New
York for 10 years. Yet the fact
that New York is willing to go
along with the southern drys in
opposing any action by the Ma
tional Committee is significant
commentary upon the whole situ-
alton.
RoOsevelt-RaskOb Split
The action of the New York
State Committee in memorable
ing the National Committee to
ignore the prohibition contro-
versy is, significant, too. in throw
ing light on the long-rumored
split between Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the Raskob ad-
ministration of party affairs.
Governor Roosevelt's friends
have long felt that the national
chairman was antagonistic to his
presidential aspirations. They
credit him with a desire to NOM
mate Owen D. Young next year.
Right or wrong, this feeling has
engendered a very apparent at
mosphere Of GOODNESS between
the Roosevelt and Raskob fac
tions, and the action of the New
York State committee yesterday
which Roosevelt controls-was
only one manifestation of it.
Where Ex-Governor Alfred e.
Smith stands in this situation
is matter of keen speculation
outside the two camps. Chair
man Raskob is one of Governor
Smiths closest friends. He was
his hand-picked chairman Of the
national committee, over the pro.
tests of many loyal party men.

draft, which had been unex-
pectedIy held up for two days.
Committee Is Chided
Inferentially Patterson chided
the committee for changing its
report without further hearings
or developing new facts.
He declared careful analysis
of the testimony disclosed:
"There is no evidence which
reflected in any manner upon
the personal integrity or hon.
eSty of Sen, tor Davis in private
or public life or in his conduct
in either the primary or gen.
eraI election.
Held Lawfully Chosen
Davis was lawfully chosen and
elected and there was no evidence
before the committee which
could, in any manner, affect the
qualifications of Senator DAVIS
as a member of the Senate, Pat
terson insisted.
The majority report said:
"The committee regards the
primary expenditure as exces-
sive and inimical to the public
interest, whether such sum is
expended on behalf OF one
candidate or a group of candi-
dates in any primary election
and could not be permitted with
out most serious consequences
to the nation"
Z Candidates on Ticket
Regarding the contention in
Davis behalf, that the majority
report said he was chargeable
with only a small per cent, the
committee said it did not feel
called upon to attempt the i'm
possible task of determining the
amount of expenditures to be
allocated to each individual can.
didate. (There were seven can
didates on the DaviS-Brown
ticketO, The report further said:
In any event your commit
tee does not regard it as ma
terial whether an excessive ex-
penditure is made on behalf of
a single candidate or ticket
comprising numerous candi-
dates"
The report continued:
"UnIess the expenditure of
more than 100000 in the pri-
mary on behalf of the ticket
headed by Senator Davis can
be construed as in itself con-
Stituting corruption, in fairness
to Senator Davis as well as the
other candidates in the Penn
Sylvania senatorial election,
your committee desires to state
that the evidence heard by it
does not disclose any cOrrup-
tiOn for which he may be held
personally responsible, nor has
anything been revealed in the
testimony before this commit
tee relating to the conduct Of
the Pennsylvania senatorial
campaign reflecting upon the
honor and integrity of Senator
Davis or any other senatorial
candidate"

Borah Flags Curtis
On Senate Floor
For 'Gag' Rule

A sharp rebuke to Vice Presi-
dent Curtis by Senator William
E. Borah (RD of Idaho, fea-
tured a tumultous session Of
the Senate last night.
The Senator angrily de-
nounced the Vice President for
attempting to impose gag-rule
during debate. The Vice Presi-
dent brought on the clash by
ruling, while Borah had the
floor, that legislative debate
was not in order during con-
sideration of presidential nom
nations.
Borah finally shouted:
"The presiding officer is mis-
taken. The right of free speech
is unlimited in this body. Any
way, / won't be taken off my
feet. There will be no gag'rule
in this chamber"
Curtis quietly yielded, pro-
testing he had not tried to take
Borah off the floor.
